These existing flood risk management assets are maintained to ensure they remain operational, protecting the communities they are designed for, with dedicated teams in place to operate them 24 hours a day.\nAfter the 2019/2020 winter foods, £605,000 was allocated to repair flood defence assets, covering both the Frankwell and Coleham flood risk management schemes which together provide protection to around 250 properties. All work has been completed and these schemes are fully operational. The EA is currently planning further maintenance work on these defences following the winter 2020/2021 floods.\nLast year, the Government announced that up to £170 million would be spent to accelerate work on 22 shovel-ready flood defence schemes, to begin construction before the end of 2021/2022. This included up to £30 million for the Severn Valley Water Management Scheme located in Shrewsbury, and up to £5.4 million for a scheme combining natural flood risk management, tree planting and habitat creation to reduce flood risk and capture carbon throughout the Severn Valley.\nAcross the wider Severn catchment, the EA continues to progress a pilot for the government funded long term investment pathways/Adaptation Pathways, with £1.5 million secured from April 2021, for six years. This project will look ahead at least 50 years, to work out what flood defences are necessary in the long term and when they should be built to avoid unnecessary investment costs in future and missed opportunities.\nThe EA, along with other members of the River Severn Partnership, is currently investigating what further measures may be implemented to reduce flood risk in Shrewsbury. As well as the potential for new proposals, on which the EA is working with local partners, the role and lifespan of existing flood risk management assets with regard to climate change, is also being considered.\nThe answer was submitted on 06 Jul 2021 at 17:39.", "domain": "geography"}

It explores remote roads—some of them unpaved—in the Mendocino Range and the Mayacama Mountains, and accumulates over 29,000 feet of climbing. This course challenges even strong riders, but it rewards with fantastic scenery and uncommon isolation. It is a colossal experience, possibly closer to a 1200Km grande randonnée than to a traditional 600Km brevet.\nThe GPS claims 383 miles and 29,029 feet of climbing, but the numbers are reductive. The Orr Springs 600 is much more: three-hour stretches without a car in sight; ripe blackberries by the fistful; long dirt climbs in the shadow of Douglas firs; the Milky Way aglow over a pitch-black landscape; dawn over the Mayacamas; the feeling of coming home after having been far, far away.\nWe start in darkness, at 4am, to make the most of the first day of riding and improve the chances of overnight rest in Ukiah. From San Francisco to Tomales we retrace the return leg of the Old Cazadero 300. The road feels very different in this direction and so early in the day: the air is cold, the ocean dark beneath the cliffs. We ride twenty or thirty miles between car sightings. The only downside is that Point Reyes Station (mile 35) is still asleep at this hour—no pastries to be had from Bovine Bakery.\nThe wide-open views and rolling farmland of coastal Marin end near Freestone. We enter redwood forest and climb the gentle grades of Bohemian Highway to the first control in Occidental (mile 67). It's wise to keep this stop short—the legs are still fresh and the climbing has hardly started.\nRedwoods shade a fast descent to the Russian River, and before long we're in the hamlet of Cazadero, a crossroads of the SFR adventure series brevets. For the next 25 miles we retrace one of the most scenic sections of the King Ridge 400. King Ridge Road follows Austin Creek at first, then rises steeply via a series of tight turns. The redwoods of the valley floor give way to stands of oak and laurel, which in turn give way to open meadows as we climb. The road clings to a ridge barely wider than the pavement itself, and sublime views open up in every direction. To the west, ocean meets sky in a pale blue haze. To the north, serrated ridges recede into the distance, foreshadowing the road to Ukiah.\nA steep, sometimes hair-raising descent on Skaggs Springs Road drops us to within a stone's throw of the surf at Stewarts Point. Ten miles further north we cross the Gualala River and enter Mendocino County. The Gualala control (mile 120) makes a great lunch spot.\nNow comes a highlight of the course: Fish Rock Road, a rarely used and largely unpaved connector between the Mendocino coast and Anderson Valley wine country. Steep asphalt climbs from sea level to 1300 feet before dropping back down to 800. Then the pavement ends, and it's 3.8 miles of loose gravel at 9% average grade, with ramps in excess of 15%, to the top of the ridge. The dirt continues for five more miles before reverting to rough pavement. Much of the road is wooded, but the occasional lookout reveals how far we've climbed. A corkscrew descent with a posted 5mph speed limit makes for a memorable photo. Eventually we emerge onto Highway 128, dazed by the sudden presence of cars and armed with a renewed appreciation for the capabilities of the bicycle.\nBoonville (mile 160) is a fine choice for an early dinner and also a good place to stock up on food for the road. There are no reliable services until Ukiah, 56 miles (and approximately 6000 feet of climbing) away. After a brisk run down the Anderson Valley, we turn right onto Flynn Creek Road, where lush forest, silken pavement, and low traffic create perfect cycling conditions.\nFor most of us, night falls somewhere on Orr Springs Road between Comptche and Ukiah. The Orr Hot Springs were part of the inspiration for this route, but sadly, their pricing and reservation policies make them unsuitable for a brevet control location. However, the road is remarkable in its own right. It consists of two climbs totaling almost 4000 feet of elevation gain, separated by a descent deep into the South Fork Big River valley, where the hot springs lie. In many places the road is barely wider than a pickup truck, and the pavement is marginal at best. Darkness in these parts deprives us of grand vistas, but the night sky makes up for that loss: there is no light pollution here, and the stars seem close enough to touch. Consider stopping, turning off all lights, and admiring the universe for a minute.\nUkiah's brightly lit main drag makes a jarring contrast to these mountain roads, but the local Safeway (mile 216) is a welcome sight after so many hours on the bike. There are also several motels nearby; it's not a bad idea to get some rest here.\nTo achieve the time limits of upcoming controls, it is advisable to leave Ukiah before dawn. River Road at this time is deserted, and the flat miles pass quickly. To the east, lightening sky reveals the sharp profile of the Mayacama Mountains. Near Hopland we turn left, directly into the hills. Old Toll Road is 16 miles of well-packed dirt and gentle grades. Oaks festooned in Spanish moss arc over the road, and the glow of sunrise bathes rugged hills of chaparral. There are no cars.\nThe ridge now behind us, we ascend from the flats of Lake County to Cobb Mountain, the highest summit in the Mayacamas. The paved road up the north side is long but never steep. The top of the climb is the highest point of this ride, and it provides the potential energy for a fabulous high-speed descent into Middletown (mile 276). Breakfast at Hardester's feels well-earned.\nTwo miles out of town comes the final major challenge of the ride. Western Mines Road is a twisty 3-mile strip of loose dirt that climbs 1500 feet over the eastern shoulder of Mount St Helena. It's not the longest climb of our ride, but it feels like the toughest. There's no shame in walking some of the steep turns. Pavement, however rough, resumes at the summit, and in short order we emerge from tree cover to admire sweeping views of Napa wine country and the western side of Mount St Helena. On a clear day we might see Mount Tam.\nThe longest continuous descent of our ride takes us into the Napa Valley, and from there it's less than 30 miles, mostly on flat or rolling roads, to lunch and the penultimate control in Sebastopol (mile 319). This is Gravenstein apple country—although many of the orchards, sadly, are being replaced by more profitable vineyards—and the smell of hay and apples fills the air on Pleasant Hill and Bloomfield Road.\nThe final 50 miles to San Francisco are familiar territory for local riders. Marin welcomes us with its pastoral scenery and—quite possibly, in the afternoon—a solid tail wind. The road is rarely flat, but the long grinding climbs of Sonoma and Mendocino are behind us. The biggest remaining obstacle is Wilson Hill: take a moment to look back from its summit to the distinctive profile of Mount St Helena on the horizon, and consider how far we've traveled. It's not quite all downhill to San Francisco from here, but it almost could be.Some perspectives on the Orr Springs 600\nThis is an uncommon 600K, and most cyclists will be close to the brevet time limits for much of the ride. Here are some ways to think about this ride if you are a randonneur or endurance cyclist:\n- If a 1200K event is too much or simply won't fit into your schedule, the OS600 is a worthy stand-alone season goal. We recommend preparing for it by riding a full “Super Randonneur” series of 200-600K brevets.\n- If you are riding a 1200K later in the summer, the OS600 makes for pretty good training—especially if you're planning on a hilly 1200.\n- If you simply want to absorb a great variety of California scenery in one weekend, this ride is just the ticket.", "domain": "geography"}

What I will say, is that in the fight against the undeniable climate crisis, language plays a vital role. The interplay of climate science and linguistics is called ecolinguistics and the below poem is one of the many examples of what this field is all about.\nTo keep temperatures from continuing to rise, we need scientists, politicians, and engineers. But we also need writers, thinkers, and artists. We need new ways of disseminating and demystifying the threat of climate change, the dangers we are all facing and will continue to face if we do nothing, or even if we do too little.\nThese women give us two new voices making an attempt to do exactly that. They are sharing their story. Will you listen? Will it change you? What is your story and what is keeping you from telling it?\nThough I strongly recommend watching the video and listening to the women speak their words, especially the words of their native languages, you can find the lyrics typed out in full below.\nSister of ice and snow I’m coming to you from the land of my ancestors, from atolls, sunken volcanoes–undersea descent of sleeping giants\nSister of ocean and sand, I welcome you to the land of my ancestors –to the land where they sacrificed their lives to make mine possible –to the land of survivors.\nI’m coming to you from the land my ancestors chose. Aelon Kein Ad, Marshall Islands, a country more sea than land. I welcome you to Kalaallit Nunaat, Greenland, the biggest island on earth.\nSister of ice and snow, I bring with me these shells that I picked from the shores of Bikini atoll and Runit Dome\nSister of ocean and sand, I hold these stones picked from the shores of Nuuk, the foundation of the land I call my home.\nWith these shells I bring a story of long ago two sisters frozen in time on the island of Ujae, one magically turned into stone the other who chose that life to be rooted by her sister’s side. To this day, the two sisters can be seen by the edge of the reef, a lesson in permanence.\nWith these rocks I bring a story told countless times a story about Sassuma Arnaa, Mother of the Sea, who lives in a cave at the bottom of the ocean.\nThis is a story about the guardian of the Sea. She sees the greed in our hearts, the disrespect in our eyes. Every whale, every stream, every iceberg are her children.\nWhen we disrespect them she gives us what we deserve, a lesson in respect.\nDo we deserve the melting ice? the hungry polar bears coming to our islands or the colossal icebergs hitting these waters with rage Do we deserve their mother, coming for our homes for our lives?\nFrom one island to another I ask for solutions. From one island to another I ask for your problems\nLet me show you the tide that comes for us faster than we’d like to admit. Let me show you airports underwater bulldozed reefs, blasted sands and plans to build new atolls forcing land from an ancient, rising sea, forcing us to imagine turning ourselves to stone.\nSister of ocean and sand, Can you see our glaciers groaning with the weight of the world’s heat? I wait for you, here, on the land of my ancestors, heart heavy with a thirst for solutions as I watch this land change while the World remains silent.\nSister of ice and snow, I come to you now in grief mourning landscapes that are always forced to change\nfirst through wars inflicted on us then through nuclear waste dumped in our waters on our ice and now this.\nSister of ocean and sand, I offer you these rocks, the foundation of my home. On our journey may the same unshakable foundation connect us, make us stronger, than the colonizing monsters that to this day devour our lives for their pleasure. The very same beasts that now decide, who should live who should die.\nSister of ice and snow, I offer you this shell and the story of the two sisters as testament as declaration that despite everything we will not leave. Instead we will choose stone. We will choose to be rooted in this reef forever.\nFrom these islands we ask for solutions. From these islands\nwe ask we demand that the world see beyond SUVs, ACs, their pre-packaged convenience their oil-slicked dreams, beyond the belief that tomorrow will never happen, that this is merely an inconvenient truth. Let me bring my home to yours. Let’s watch as Miami, New York, Shanghai, Amsterdam, London, Rio de Janeiro, and Osaka try to breathe underwater. You think you have decades before your homes fall beneath tides? We have years. We have months before you sacrifice us again before you watch from your tv and computer screens waiting to see if we will still be breathing while you do nothing.\nMy sister, From one island to another I give to you these rocks as a reminder that our lives matter more than their power that life in all forms demands the same respect we all give to money that these issues affect each and every one of us None of us is immune And that each and every one of us has to decide if we will rise", "domain": "geography"}

The day is free to relax and explore\nthe fascinating city of Cuzco, and to acclimatize to the altitude. Cuzco is the continent’s\noldest continuously inhabited city, and the hub of the South American travel network.\nThe city attracts travellers who come not just to visit a unique destination but also to\nexperience an age-old culture very different from their 20th century way of life; one\ncould easily spend a week just in and around the area. Inca-built stone walls line most of\nthe central streets and you don’t have to go far to see other major Inca ruins. It is a city\nsteeped in history, tradition and legend.\nEvery year Cuzco attracts thousands of travellers who come to delve into its noble but\ntragic past. It is the perfect base for optional explorations around the city and area as well\nas a range of outdoor activities. Relax and explore this fascinating city, and take time to\nacclimatize to the high altitude.\nCuzco’s numerous colonial churches are one of the city’s most common sights. The\nCathedral houses a small art museum, the Regional History Museum and the Religious\nArt Museum. Our best advice for exploring Cuzco is to wear a comfortable pair of shoes,\narm yourself with a city map and set off to explore!\nToday is a free day to relax and acclimatize until meeting for a welcome dinner in the\nToday is a free day for additional acclimatization, explore or book an optional excursion.\nTravel with our local guide through the Sacred Valley of the Incas. An important source\nof food for the Inca, the Sacred Valley is a lush agricultural region that continues to\nsupply the city of Cuzco with much of its produce. Visit the impressive Pisac ruins and\nthe colourful artisan market (market days only). The day trip finishes in the picturesque\nvillage of Ollantaytambo, site of another large Inca ruin. Here we catch our breath and\nprepare for the hike ahead. Ollantaytambo is your first taste of what lies ahead on the\nInca Trail. The town and fortress of Ollantaytambo are strategically situated overlooking\nthe beautiful Urubamba River Valley. This major ruin site is known as the best surviving\nexample of Inca urban planning and engineering. It is admired for its huge steep terraces\nguarding the Inca Fortress and for being one of the few places where the Spanish lost a\nmajor battle during the conquest. We spend the night in this small town before heading\nout for the start of the hike the next morning.\nThe 4-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is physically challenging but worthwhile, and the\nexcursion is within the ability of most reasonably fit. It is a 44-km (27 mile) hike, with 3\nhigh passes to be crossed, one of which reaches an elevation of 4200m (13776 ft). The\ntrail is often steep, and it may rain even during the dry season. The temperatures at night\nmay fall below zero, so it is important to come prepared.\nDepart Ollantaytambo for 82 km drive where we begin our walk in the footsteps of the\nIncas. Our local crew of porters, cook and guide look after us well for the duration of the\nhike. Porters carry the majority of the gear for the hike, so those passengers doing the\nhike only carry a small daypack with water, rain gear, snacks, a camera, etc. As you walk\nthe trail that linked this ancient empire, admire breathtaking views at every step as we\nmove from high plateau areas to dense cloud forest. Depending on the season, you may\nsee a great variety of flora, including miniature and large orchids, and fiery rhododendron\nbushes.You pass several smaller ruin sites, the first of which is Llactapata.\nThe second day climb the long steep path to Warmiwañusca, or Dead Woman’s Pass. At\n4198 m (13769 ft) above sea level, this pass is the highest point of the trek. The second\npass of the hike is at 3998 m (13113 ft) where on clear days, we enjoy superb views of\nthe snow-capped Cordillera Vilcabamba.The trail goes through some beautiful cloud\nforest on the gentle climb to the third pass, where you will walk through a causeway and\na tunnel, both original Inca constructions. The highest point of the third pass is at 3700m\nOn clear days you are rewarded for all this work with beautiful views of the Urubamba\nValley below. Soon you reach the serene ruins of Phuyupatamarca, or the ‘Town above\nthe Clouds’, at about 3650 m (11972 ft) above sea level. We will camp either here or an\nhour and a half further along close to Wiñay Wayna (Forever Young) ruins, a grandiose\nterraced hillside site, with panoramic views of the valley below and just a short hike from\nMachu Picchu. On the final day of the hike we climb the steps to the Sun Gate\noverlooking the peaks that surround Machu Picchu. When the morning is clear, there is\nno way to describe the feeling of the first views of Machu Picchu, as the mist rises off the\nmountains early in the morning and the famous site appears in front of you.\nMachu Picchu is both the best and the least known of the Inca ruins. It is not mentioned\nin any of the chronicles of the Spanish conquistadors and archaeologists today can do no\nmore than speculate on its function. The local Quechua farmers in the area knew of\nMachu Picchu for centuries, but it was not until an 11-year-old boy led the American\nhistorian Hiram Bingham (who was in search of Vilcabamba) to the site on July 24, 1911,\nthat the rest of the world became aware of its existence. At that time the site was covered\nin thick vegetation, and Bingham and his team returned in 1912 and 1915 to clear the\ngrowth. Over the years, much work has been done on excavating and studying the\nsite.Despite these efforts, many unanswered questions remain.\nDistances of the Inca trail:\n|Approximate distance||Estimated hiking time|\n|Day 1||82 Km to Wayllambama||11 km||5-6 hrs|\n|Day 2||Wayllabamba to Paqaymayo||12 km||6-7 hrs|\n|Day 3||Paqaymayo to Wiñaywayna||16 km||8 hrs|\n|Day 4||Wiñaywayna to Intipunku (Sun Gate)||4 km||1.5 hrs|\n|Intipunku to Machu Picchu||1.5 km||45 mins|\nToday is a free day to relax, explore or arrange an optional excursion\nAnother day to enjoy the city.", "domain": "geography"}

For drinking water, filtering out pollutants and contaminants increases treatment costs, so we all pay higher water bills or our water is not as clean. When reservoirs fill up with sediment, reservoir capacity is reduced because they are full of silt, not water.\nPolluted runoff can damage streams, rivers, lakes and ponds. Excess nutrients can cause algae blooms and fish kills, muddy water keeps fish from feeding and breeding, and excess bacteria can harm both wildlife and people. If pollutants reach high levels, the water can be unsuitable or even dangerous for humans and animals. These conditions are unsafe for swimming and even recreational use that does not involve direct contact with the water, such as boating and fishing.\nWhen beaches close or fishing is restricted due to water pollution, recreation is impossible and nearby towns and businesses lose money. When shellfish waters are closed because the shellfish are unsafe to eat, some people may lose their jobs and everyone pays more for seafood.\nOne problem associated with excessive quantities of stormwater is urban flooding due to increased runoff.

It is a solutions‐based approach that engages communities, scientists, policymakers, and land managers to repair ecological damage and rebuild a healthier relationship between people and the rest of nature. When combined with conservation and sustainable use, ecological restoration is the link needed to move local, regional, and global environmental conditions from a state of continued degradation, to one of net positive improvement. The second edition of the International Principles and Standards for the Practice of Ecological Restoration (the Standards) presents a robust framework for restoration projects to achieve intended goals, while addressing challenges including effective design and implementation, accounting for complex ecosystem dynamics (especially in the context of climate change), and navigating trade‐offs associated with land management priorities and decisions.\nThe Standards establish eight principles that underpin ecological restoration. Principles 1 and 2 articulate important foundations that guide ecological restoration: effectively engaging a wide range of stakeholders, and fully utilizing available scientific, traditional, and local knowledge, respectively. Principles 3 and 4 summarize the central approach to ecological restoration, by highlighting ecologically appropriate reference ecosystems as the target of restoration and clarifying the imperative for restoration activities to support ecosystem recovery processes. Principle 5 underscores the use of measurable indicators to assess progress toward restoration objectives. Principle 6 lays out the mandate for ecological restoration to seek the highest attainable recovery. Tools are provided to identify the levels of recovery aspired to and to track progress. Principle 7 highlights the importance of restoration at large spatial scales for cumulative gains. Finally, ecological restoration is one of several approaches that address damage to ecosystems and Principle 8 clarifies its relationships to allied approaches on a “Restorative Continuum”.\nThe Standards highlight the role of ecological restoration in connecting social, community, productivity, and sustainability goals. The Standards also provide recommended performance measures for restorative activities for industries, communities, and governments to consider. In addition, the Standards enhance the list of practices and actions that guide practitioners in planning, implementation, and monitoring activities. The leading practices and guidance include discussion on appropriate approaches to site assessment and identification of reference ecosystems, different restoration approaches including natural regeneration, consideration of genetic diversity under climate change, and the role of ecological restoration in global restoration initiatives. This edition also includes an expanded glossary of restoration terminology. SER and its international partners produced the Standards for adoption by communities, industries, governments, educators, and land managers to improve ecological restoration practice across all sectors and in all ecosystems, terrestrial and aquatic. The Standards support development of ecological restoration plans, contracts, consent conditions, and monitoring and auditing criteria. Generic in nature, the Standards framework can be adapted to particular ecosystems, biomes, or landscapes; individual countries; or traditional cultures. The Standards are aspirational and provide tools that are intended to improve outcomes, promote best practices, and deliver net global environmental and social benefits. As the world enters the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), the Standards provide a blueprint for ensuring ecological restoration achieves its full potential in delivering social and environmental equity and, ultimately, economic benefits and outcomes.\nRead the article: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/rec.13035", "domain": "geography"}

It is defined as any change in climate over time, due to natural variability or as a result of human activity. The main course of climate change is mainly greenhouse gases (GHGs) accumulation in the atmosphere, hence an increased greenhouse effect. It has a wide range of impacts on agricultural practices, including variations in average temperatures, rainfall, and climate extremes, such as floods and droughts; variations in pests and diseases; variations in atmospheric carbon dioxide; variations in the nutritional value of some foods; variations in the growing season; and variations in sea level. Crop yields vary depending on plant development stages during extreme weather events and show a substantial association with temperature change and the length of heat or cold waves. In order to produce the food and fiber required to sustain human life, agriculture is highly reliant on weather and environment.\nImpacts of climate change on crop production\nClimate change has the potential to significantly impact crop production worldwide. Changes in temperature, precipitation patterns, extreme weather events, and rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) can affect various aspects of agricultural systems, leading to both direct and indirect consequences for crop yields and food security. Here are some key impacts of climate change on crop production:\n- Decreased crop yields and lower nutritional quality – The effects of climate change are making it more difficult for agriculture to supply human needs. Additionally, due to variations in temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels brought on by global climate change, the effects are unevenly spread around the planet. Rising temperatures, heat waves, and variations in precipitation (including droughts and floods) are all direct effects of shifting weather patterns.\n- Changing Growing Seasons – Shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns can alter growing seasons, affecting the timing of planting, flowering, and harvesting. This can disrupt the synchronization between crops and pollinators, reduce yields, and potentially affect crop quality.\n- Water Availability and Drought – Changes in rainfall patterns can result in more frequent or prolonged droughts, leading to water scarcity for crops. Drought stress can reduce crop productivity, impair nutrient uptake, and increase susceptibility to pests and diseases.\n- Extreme Weather Events – Climate change is associated with more frequent and intense extreme weather events, including storms, floods, and heatwaves. These events can damage crops, destroy infrastructure, and result in soil erosion, leading to reduced yields and increased economic losses for farmers.\n- Changes in pests, plant diseases, and weeds – Lower agricultural yields and nutritional value may also be a consequence of changes in pests, plant diseases, and weeds brought on by the climate. A side effect of climate change is the loss of agricultural land owing to sea level rise.\n- Soil fertility changes, erosion, and lengthened growing seasons – As the temperature rises, fungi that produce mycotoxins and bacteria like Salmonella cause more harm to food safety and losses, adding to the associated cost pressures.\n- Changes in Pest and Disease Dynamics – More harmful locust swarms may occur when hotter and rainier weather patterns are brought on by climate change. For instance, large locust swarms that were seen in the east African region in 2020. These insects may harm crops, reducing yields and endangering food security. Once more, climate change may have an impact on the fall army worm invasion of crops.\n- Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Levels – Elevated atmospheric CO2 levels, associated with climate change, can affect crop physiology and productivity. While higher CO2 concentrations can stimulate photosynthesis and increase crop growth rates, the benefits may vary among crops and depend on other factors such as nutrient availability and water availability.\nEffects of climate change on livestock farming\nChanges in climate result in raised temperatures which causes heat stress impacts an animal’s ability to grow, reproduce, and consume food. This in turn has an impact on meat and dairy product output. Heat stress causes a reduction in food intake, a slowdown in activity level, and a loss of weight.\nAnimals must have easy access to water and their feeding schedules must be changed to cooler hours of the day in order to reverse the reduction in livestock productivity. Additionally, a well-ventilated shelter can assist prevent heat exhaustion. The capacity of livestock of diverse species to withstand heat stress varies.\nClimate change and fisheries\nClimate change poses significant threats to fisheries on top of many other concurrent pressures such as overfishing, habitat degradation, pollution, introduction of new species and so on. Here are some key ways in which climate change affects fisheries:\n- Ocean Warming: Rising global temperatures result in ocean warming. This can lead to changes in the distribution and abundance of fish species. Some species may move to cooler waters, affecting the composition of fish populations in different regions. This movement can also impact the livelihoods of fishing communities that depend on specific fish stocks.\n- Altered Ocean Currents and Upwelling: Changes in ocean currents can affect nutrient availability and the process of upwelling, which brings nutrient-rich waters to the surface. Upwelling supports the growth of phytoplankton, a crucial food source for many fish species. Disruptions in upwelling patterns can impact the entire food web and result in changes in fish abundance and distribution.\n- Coral Reef Degradation: Climate change contributes to the bleaching and degradation of coral reefs due to increased ocean temperatures and ocean acidification. Coral reefs serve as important habitats for numerous fish species, and their decline can disrupt fish populations and reduce fishery productivity.\n- Ocean Acidification: Increased carbon dioxide emissions lead to ocean acidification, causing the pH of seawater to decrease. Acidic waters can adversely affect the development and survival of many marine organisms, including shellfish and coral reefs. These changes can disrupt the structure and function of marine ecosystems, impacting the availability of food and habitat for fish.\n- Changing Productivity and Trophic Interactions: Climate change can alter primary productivity in the oceans, affecting the availability of food resources for fish. Changes in the timing and magnitude of plankton blooms can impact the growth and survival of larval fish, which rely on specific prey during critical life stages. Disruptions in trophic interactions can have cascading effects on fish populations and the overall productivity of fisheries.\n- Increased Extreme Weather Events: Climate change is associated with more frequent and intense extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and storms. These events can damage fishing infrastructure, disrupt fishing operations, and impact the safety of fishermen. They can also lead to changes in the distribution and abundance of fish stocks as habitats and ecosystems are altered by extreme weather events.\nFood waste and its contribution to climate change\nThe climate change dilemma is made worse by food loss and waste because of the large greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it produces. Food-related activities including production, handling, and transportation emit a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2), and when it ends up in landfills, it releases methane, an even more potent greenhouse gas.\nAccording to the EPA, the yearly carbon dioxide emissions from 42 coal-fired power plants are equal to 170 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent GHG emissions from food loss and waste in the United States (Research | US EPA). The considerable methane emissions from food waste that is decomposing in landfills are not taken into account in this estimation.\nReducing and eliminating food waste can improve economic efficiency, productivity, and climate change mitigation. It can also address resource and energy conservation and reduce climate change-related shocks to the supply chain.\nSustainable farming practices to mitigate the impact of climate change\n- Use of efficient irrigation schemes – Any farm must minimize its usage of water, especially during droughts. However, since groundwater pumping consumes the majority of the energy used on farms, irrigation efficiency is also essential for cutting back on fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Use of energy and water-saving techniques, including drip irrigation, cover crop planting, and dry farming, among others.\n- Reduced use of fossil fuels in farming practices can significantly reduce the general effect on the climate. Alternatively, one may use solar energy, wind turbine as sources of energy. By transitioning to cleaner energy alternatives, such as solar energy and wind turbines, farmers can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a more sustainable agricultural sector. Embracing solar energy systems can harness the power of the sun to generate electricity for various farm operations, including irrigation, lighting, and machinery, while wind turbines can efficiently convert wind energy into usable power. These eco-friendly energy solutions not only reduce the carbon footprint associated with farming but also provide long-term benefits by minimizing reliance on fossil fuels, increasing energy independence, and potentially lowering operational costs for farmers.\n- Embracing organic farming practices to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emission – Embracing organic farming practices can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Organic farming improves soil health, increasing carbon sequestration and mitigating emissions. By avoiding synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, organic farming reduces emissions associated with their production and use. Water conservation techniques in organic farming reduce energy consumption and emissions from irrigation. Promoting biodiversity and adopting sustainable livestock management practices further contribute to emissions reduction. While organic farming alone cannot solve climate change, it is an important component of a comprehensive strategy that includes other sustainable practices to achieve significant emissions reductions.\n- Championing for reforestation in lands hence keeping agriculture green – Reforestation in agricultural lands plays a vital role in keeping agriculture green and sustainable. By planting trees and restoring forested areas, reforestation helps mitigate greenhouse gas emissions through carbon sequestration. It also prevents soil erosion, supports biodiversity, regulates water resources, and creates microclimates beneficial for crop growth. Reforestation efforts promote environmental resilience, protect soil health, and contribute to climate change mitigation in agricultural landscapes. Collaboration among farmers, governments, and environmental organizations is essential to champion reforestation and ensure a greener future for agriculture.\n- Proper farm plans that include decomposition of animal waste could help reduce the percentage of methane emissions to the atmosphere. One way of achieving this is by installation of biogas plants to produce cooking gas.\n- Reducing the pressure of developmental projects on farm lands. The vast growth in urbanization greatly contributes to reduced arable land for food production and increases human activity which in turn increases emission of the greenhouse gases.\n- Formulation of environmental protection policies. The formulation of environmental protection policies is essential for addressing environmental challenges. These policies should take a comprehensive approach, grounded in scientific research, and involve diverse stakeholders. Clear goals, regulations, and enforcement mechanisms are necessary, along with incentives and support for sustainable practices. International cooperation is crucial for tackling transboundary issues. By implementing effective policies, governments can promote sustainability, conserve natural resources, and protect ecosystems for a greener future.\n- Government policies and international efforts to address food security and climate change – Government policies and international efforts are essential in addressing the interconnected challenges of food security and climate change. To achieve sustainable agriculture and mitigate climate impacts, governments can implement policies that promote practices such as agroecology, organic farming, and precision agriculture. They can also support climate-smart farming techniques like conservation agriculture and agroforestry. Research and innovation play a crucial role in developing climate-resilient crop varieties and sustainable farming technologies. Additionally, governments should prioritize climate adaptation measures by providing support for farmers to manage climate-related risks. Climate finance is crucial in mobilizing funds for climate-resilient agriculture and supporting small-scale farmers. International cooperation and agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, provide frameworks for collective action and collaboration. By combining effective government policies, research, and international cooperation, we can work towards resilient food systems and address the challenges of food security and climate change.\n- The Government supports efforts to increase agricultural productivity through development and application of technology and strengthening of extension services.\n- The Government supports purchase and storage of Strategic Grain Reserves (SGR).\nThe role of technology in promoting sustainable farming and food security\nTechnology plays a pivotal role in promoting sustainable farming practices and enhancing global food security. Precision farming, drip irrigation, mechanization, and other developments in agricultural technology have all contributed to higher agricultural output, lower prices, and better food quality.\nFor instance, precision farming uses technology to monitor and control the various factors that affect plant growth, such as soil moisture, temperature, and nutrients, in order to maximize crop yield. This technology helps to boost crop yields, decrease environmental impact, and use fewer pesticides and fertilizers. Here are some ways in which technology contributes to these efforts:\n- Precision Agriculture: Technologies such as remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), and global positioning systems (GPS) enable farmers to collect data on soil conditions, crop growth, and weather patterns. This data-driven approach helps farmers optimize the use of resources such as water, fertilizers, and pesticides, leading to improved efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and enhanced crop yields.\n- Smart Irrigation Systems: Advanced irrigation technologies, including soil moisture sensors, automated irrigation systems, and drip irrigation, help optimize water usage by delivering water precisely where and when crops need it the most. By minimizing water wastage and ensuring efficient water management, these systems conserve water resources and enhance agricultural sustainability.\n- Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering: Genetic engineering techniques, such as genetically modified organisms (GMOs), allow scientists to develop crop varieties with desirable traits like resistance to pests, diseases, and extreme weather conditions. These genetically modified crops can increase resilience, improve productivity, and reduce the need for chemical inputs, thus promoting sustainable farming practices.\n- Data Analytics and Predictive Models: Big data analytics and predictive models help farmers make informed decisions based on historical and real-time data. By analyzing weather patterns, market trends, and crop performance data, farmers can optimize planting schedules, manage risks, and enhance overall productivity. These insights also support early warning systems for pest outbreaks or disease epidemics, enabling timely interventions.\n- Vertical Farming and Hydroponics: Vertical farming involves cultivating crops in vertically stacked layers, often in urban environments, using controlled environments and artificial lighting. Hydroponics, a subset of vertical farming, utilizes water-based nutrient solutions instead of soil. These technologies allow year-round cultivation, efficient space utilization, reduced water consumption, and minimal pesticide use. They offer opportunities for localized food production, especially in urban areas, improving food security and reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation.\n- Blockchain and Supply Chain Transparency: Blockchain technology enables secure and transparent recording of transactions and data sharing across the agricultural supply chain. This enhances traceability, ensuring the authenticity and safety of food products. By tracking the origin, production practices, and transportation of food, consumers can make informed choices and support sustainable and ethically produced goods.\n- Farm Management Software and Mobile Apps: Farm management software and mobile applications provide tools for planning, record-keeping, and decision-making. These digital solutions assist farmers in optimizing resource allocation, monitoring crop health, managing inventories, and accessing market information. By streamlining operations and facilitating access to critical information, technology improves efficiency and productivity in farming.\nIndividual actions to promote a sustainable future\nWhen considering trends in food security and climate change, it is only fair for everyone to take a moment and reflect on the situation and envision what it might look like in the near future. Individual actions play a crucial role in promoting a sustainable future.\nIf no action is taken to reduce harm to the atmosphere, what kind of life will future generations be forced to live?\nMaking safe decisions when exploiting resources such as land, energy and waste production and disposal can significantly change the narrative. Here are some actions individuals can take to contribute to sustainability:\n- Reduce Energy Consumption: Conserve energy by turning off lights and appliances when not in use, using energy-efficient appliances, and opting for renewable energy sources where available.\n- Minimize Water Usage: Practice water conservation by fixing leaks, using water-efficient fixtures, collecting rainwater for plants, and being mindful of water usage in daily activities.\n- Adopt Sustainable Transportation: Choose eco-friendly transportation options such as walking, cycling, carpooling, or using public transportation. If feasible, consider switching to electric vehicles or hybrid cars.\n- Embrace Sustainable Eating Habits: Reduce the environmental impact of your diet by incorporating more plant-based meals, choosing locally sourced and organic foods, and minimizing food waste.\n- Practice Responsible Waste Management: Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Opt for reusable items instead of single-use plastics, compost organic waste, and properly dispose of hazardous materials.\n- Support Sustainable Products and Businesses: Purchase products from companies that prioritize sustainability, ethical practices, and environmental responsibility. Encourage businesses to adopt sustainable practices through your consumer choices.\n- Educate and Advocate: Raise awareness about sustainability and climate change by sharing information with others, engaging in discussions, and supporting policies and initiatives that promote a sustainable future.\n- Conserve Natural Resources: Be mindful of resource consumption. Use resources like paper, electricity, and fuel responsibly, and choose products that have minimal environmental impact throughout their lifecycle.\n- Engage in Sustainable Gardening: Plant trees and native plants, practice organic gardening methods, and avoid the use of harmful pesticides or herbicides.\n- Promote Environmental Stewardship: Get involved in local community initiatives, volunteer for environmental organizations, or participate in clean-up campaigns to contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment.\nWhen food security and climate change is mentioned, individual’s contribution should come to mind. What is your contribution towards this issue. Are you worsening the situation or you are making precautionary steps to protect the atmosphere. How much food waste are you producing, what energy source are you using in your farm, how are you disposing animal waste? All these if critically addressed at an individual level the world would witness a positive impact when it comes to effects on the atmosphere.", "domain": "geography"}

The only navigable river in the state, the Wailua was once the home of ancient Hawaiian royalty. Today it is an adventurer’s playground, snaking through waterfalls, a lava rock grotto and lush jungle forests. The river itself is wide and tranquil, which makes for ideal terrain forstand-up paddleboarders of all experience levels. And with Kauai SUP’s expert arsenal of stand-up paddleboard rentals, you’ll be gliding the river way in style. We recommend getting an early start so you’ll have ample time to enjoy the Wailua and the exciting destinations along its riverbanks.\nLet us take care of the hard part, all Wailua River Rentals come with free shuttle to river where we will load the board into the water for you and set you on your way. If you plan to hike to Secret Falls, you may also want to bring hiking shoes in tow. Once you seal your dry bag shut and attach the leash to the board and your ankle, it’s time to get on the water. CAUTION: Do not walk into the water via the boat ramp, which is very jagged and slippery. Instead, we recommend that you walk down to the water’s edge and enter the river from the spit of sand to the west (right) of the ramp. This makes for a safe and easy launch.\nWhen navigating downstream, it’s important that you stay within 25 feet of the north river bank (the same side as the boat ramp), so as to keep a safe distance away from the boats that frequently travel through the middle of the river. When you reach a destination that you’d like to explore on foot, you will need to park your board. We recommend that you tie the leash to a branch or root and then leave your board floating in water as you exit the river. Alternately, you can lift the board up onto the riverbank.\nAs you approach the two-mile mark, just before the fork in the river, you will come across Kamokila Hawaiian Village. Open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Kamokila offers cultural tours of an authentic model Hawaiian village, complete with thatched-roof homes and many of the native plants on which early Hawaiians survived. On most days, there is a food truck at the village where you can purchase a bite to eat, a cold beverage or even a fresh coconut! Remember to bring $5 in cash ($3 for children) if you would like to take the tour of this four-acre property where King Kaumauli’i, the last reigning king of Kauai, once dwelled.\nUpon departing the village on your paddleboard, you will immediately arrive at a fork in the river. The north fork (on the right) will take you to the trail head to Secret Falls. The south fork (on the left) will take you to the Fern Grotto and Kauai SUP’s favorite Wailua River destination: The Swimming Hole. Depending on your stamina, it is possible to visit all of these sites, or pick and choose one or two. Keep in mind that the return paddle will be more difficult because you will be fighting the wind. Don’t deplete all your energy trying to see every site along the river.\nOnce you have found parking for your paddleboard, you are ready for the hike to Secret Falls, a 120-foot waterfall set in a tranquil, jungle-like landscape. The hike is a flat and relatively easy one-mile jaunt along a beautiful stream. If you find yourself uncertain as your traverse the trail, simply follow one of the many kayak tour groups coming and going to the falls. Depending on the trail conditions, it will take about 30 minutes until you arrive at the waterfall. You’ll know that you’re almost there when you arrive at a fork in the trail. Both directions will take you to the falls; however, if you don’t mind making a few stream crossings, we highly recommend that you opt for the right or lower route, which follows the stream and brings you to several spectacular photo ops, such as King and Queen’s Bath. When you reach the falls, take time to enjoy a swim and a streamside picnic — but be sure to conserve some time and energy for other adventures along the river and the return paddle back to the marina.\nShould you choose to explore the south (left) fork in the river, you will find yourself in a more quiet and peaceful environment due to the fact that none of the guided kayak tours traverse the south fork. Yet it’s here that you will find the Fern Grotto — a romantic lava rock cave that’s overgrown with gorgeous greenery. There are boat tours that frequent this spot, but if the dock is empty you’ll have the grotto all to yourself! Park your board at the sign that reads, “kayak parking,” and tie your leash onto one of the exposed tree roots. There is a paved walkway that will bring you to the grotto in less than two minutes. Prepare to be awestruck!\nAt Kauai SUP, we consider The Swimming Hole the crown jewel of the river. If you only visit one spot, make it this one. From the Fern Grotto, The Swimming Hole is located about a 10-minute paddle upstream through a low jungle canopy that opens into a sunny sliver of paradise. Here you can bask in the sunshine or jump off your board and enjoy a dip in the water. You can also get off your board and climb a 15-foot cliff that’s safe for jumping. CAUTION: Before you jump, be sure to check that the coast is clear of shallow boulders and other jumpers. If the coast is clear, then bombs away!\nyour return journey, you will be paddling against the wind. It will be the most difficult leg of your adventure, so be sure to conserve enough energy for an enjoyable glide back to the boat ramp. To make for an easier, more leisurely paddle, remember that you can always kneel or sit down on your board as you paddle back toward the rivermouth.\nUpon returning to the boat ramp, we ask that you please clean your board by using the river water and your hands to remove any mud or debris that might have affixed itself to your board over the course of your adventure. Remember that the boat ramp itself can be jagged and slippery, if no one from Kauai SUP is at the ramp waiting for you please just give us a call you come pick you up.", "domain": "geography"}

With the summit reaching just over 6,000 feet, expect incredible panoramic views in every direction.\nTo get here, take the Black Balsam Road exit and head all the way up to the parking lot, where you will find the Sam Knob trailhead directly to the right of the restrooms. The location is important to note as there are several trailheads in the area. This exit is also home to the Art Loeb Trail and others, so weekends are likely going to be challenging when it comes to parking. There’s a good reason for this though, so inch your way into a spot and get ready for a fantastic adventure.\nSam Knob Trail to summit and back is 2.5 miles of stunning scenery. The hike begins along a gravel path, and soon you are wandering through a grassy meadow with majestic mountain views everywhere you look. Each season presents a unique, beautiful landscape, with muted tans and browns, crisp white snow, or colorful wildflowers.\nEventually, you are led out of the meadow and into a dense mountain laurel tunnel. This spot is where you will come across a fork in the path - go right to reach the summit. The trail twists and turns up the mountain until finally reaching the top, where breathtaking views surround you. At this high of an elevation, everywhere you turn is awe-inspiring.\nThe summit features exceptional views of the Pisgah Ranger District, including Black Balsam and Devil's Courthouse, along with many other peaks. Pack a picnic, sit back, and relax as you take in the soul-soothing gift of nature.\nDuring your hike, be sure keep an eye out below. You may catch backpackers hiking in and setting up camp along Flat Laurel Creek. If you plan on camping yourself, be sure to pack your bear canisters, as they are required here. Be bear aware! Otherwise, get ready to catch incredible sunrises and sunsets amidst beautiful scenery. There’s nothing quite like it.\nThe Blue Ridge Parkway. 469 miles of stunning views and incredible hikes.

Fortunately, time and money permitted me to visit many places while I’ve been studying. My original plan was to stick to Siena, and only travel with the AHA program for pre-planned excursions. But, I’ve been blessed to be able to make it to my top three European countries. I’ve been studying in Italy, I traveled to Spain only a couple of weeks ago and this past weekend I made my way to Dublin, Ireland.\nWeekend trips aren’t enough time to fully enjoy a city, but going for two days is better than none. The trip was short, but extremely sweet. I went with a few friends of mine and we all had the same agenda: eat good food, visit the Guinness factory, visit the Jameson factory and see what the Dublin night life is all about. I am proud to say that in two days, we accomplished all of these tasks and more.\nDay one, we settled into our hotel and headed out early to catch a nice Irish breakfast. Let me clear something up before I go into detail about our delicious meal; I love Italian food. However, being American, I’m a big fan of large breakfasts, I’m talkin’ sausage, eggs, biscuits, potatoes, the works. In Italy, the daily coffee and small pastry really doesn’t cut it.\nWe found a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant with a delicious spread of breakfast foods: meat, potatoes, and sweets lined up in a buffet style. This wasn’t your average, run of the mill buffet where most everything tastes like the grease and preservatives that the food has been swimming in, on the contrary this food was very fresh and palate pleasing. I’m craving it now as I type this. My plate included some classic sausage links, potatoes, scrambled eggs, some thick cuts of homemade Guinness breads, some English tea and these little dark patties that I was told was bread pudding. Everything looked phenomenal, the boys and I were in an Irish-breakfast heaven. The place was so good, that we made sure to wake up early the next morning to try it a second time before leaving.\nNext on our agenda was a quick train ride to the coastline in a small port-town called Howth. It’s a beautiful little salty sea town. It reminded me of the Puget Sound back home, the smell of the northern coast, seagulls flying every which way and the sound of boats rumbling by. It was beautiful. Luckily there was a Saturday market happening this weekend, so we made a quick stop to check things out. Although we had just stuffed ourselves at breakfast, we found enough room to buy a couple of these delicious hand-made cupcakes, I bought the sinfully good red velvet cake one and Michael got himself a coconut vanilla raspberry one. With our desserts in hand, we walked out to the boardwalk to stare out into the water and soak up the sights and smells. We only stayed a couple of hours but after snapping a few pictures and walking around we had taken full advantage of the time we had.\nOur last obligation was to head to the Guinness factory. When we arrived, I seriously felt like Charlie when he spotted the gates into Willy Wonka’s factory. I could barely contain my excitement. Guinness is my favorite beer, and I’ve waited over six months to even have one, just so I could try the real thing in the factory. We easily spent several hours touring the factory, learning about all of the ins and outs of the company; from its history, to its influence and importance to the city of Dublin. It was all very interesting and the tour was very interactive and modern. My favorite part of the tour –besides the free pint of Guinness at the 360 degree bar at the top — was probably the advertising and marketing section. Guinness has had some of the most influential marketing campaigns in ad history and it was very cool to get an inside look at all of these tactics at the source.\nThe night was coming to an end, but we still needed to finish off strong. We made our way downtown to a stretch of pubs and clubs that we wanted to see. The first pub we went to was straight out of a movie. It was a small little pub with a group of old men and women playing fiddles and flutes in the corner, singing Irish drinking songs, while the bartender stood on the bar screaming out orders and collecting money. The place was perfect, everyone was cheerful and the mood was just right. We even had a chance to meet a group of people, around the same age as us, that were doing their own sort of pub crawl. They called it the “12 pubs of Christmas”. They all dressed up in ugly Christmas sweaters and were making their way through 12 different pubs, grabbing a Guinness in each one and making sure to make themselves known along the way. It was a memorable night that I will cherish.\nThe second day, after eating breakfast, we headed to the Jameson factory. It was in the early afternoon, but we had a game plan to stick to, and besides, when in Dublin! So we made our way to the factory, took the tour, had a nice Jameson tasting session which was very interesting and it all ended so quickly! At this point we had the rest of the day to make a plan, we made our way to Europe’s largest park, Phoenix Park, where we walked and talked enjoying the scenery. Eventually we made our way to a restaurant to get a late lunch. We were welcomed into the place with smiles from the bartenders. We placed our orders, and were lucky enough to get the bartenders to dial the TV’s onto all the soccer games playing that day and even the American football games. We ended up staying there for nearly five hours, eating, drinking, playing darts and watching sports. It was one of the highlights of my trip abroad. It was so simple but it really encompassed everything that I loved about this trip. The sweetness of doing nothing, really staying in the present moment, not worrying about what’s coming next but just enjoying the ride along the way. We had plenty of laughs and made some great memories here.\nThe next morning we were headed on our Ryan Air flight back to Rome to make our final stay in Siena. The Dublin trip did not disappoint. Every time I go to a new city it seems like it always one ups the one before. But truthfully, Dublin was my favorite city of all the major ones I visited. Mainly due to the people. The people there are so ridiculously friendly, helpful, and caring. We were often asked by random people if we needed any help getting around — because for some reason they thought we looked like a bunch of tourists, I wonder why — and whenever we asked for help or directions, people were always so kind and patient. The city wasn’t the most active, and didn’t have the most elegant buildings or fancy museums or anything, but it was just right. It is how it is, it’s beautiful in its own way, it’s fun, the food is great and the people really make the difference. I can’t wait to go again. I think that the next time I’m in Europe, Ireland will be my main destination.\nOnly one week left, but I’m glad I’ve been able to see and do all of the things I’ve done while I’ve been in Europe.

Being at the right place, at the right time is half the formula for capturing a great photograph. So here is my tip: Do a little research before going out to shoot.\nThe photo above is an example of the benefit of such research. On a recent trip to Washington, D.C., I knew that I was going to have the opportunity to shoot some of the iconic locations and monuments on the National Mall. Wanting to make the most of the opportunity, I did a Google search on photography in Washington, D.C. It was very helpful. There is a wealth of information out there ranging from the rules of taking pictures on Federal properties to tips for getting the best pictures.\nOne insightful tip I read was related to the time of day. A writer stated that the Lincoln Memorial (as well as other monuments and attractions) is usually jammed with people. Getting a clean photo of the memorial is difficult due to the throngs of tourists pressing in for their opportunity to photograph the monument. However, in the early morning, the monuments are often deserted. They suggested that the combination of the low early morning sun shining into the chamber through the columns of the memorial and the absence of tourists make shortly after sunrise the perfect moment to shoot the Lincoln Memorial.\nAs a result of that tip, I woke up way too early, walked miles on the national mall almost by myself, and snapped some great photos of many of the monuments on the national mall. Researching where you are going may help inform your plan and help you be in the right place at the right time.\nPhoto taken with a Nikon D70, 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5, 1/20s f/6.3.0 at 18mm, ISO 200", "domain": "geography"}

At their special event, I enjoyed delicious holiday treats from all around the world, and played games to salute the winter holidays—game traditions that came from many diverse cultures. The kids were excited and were taking real ownership of their group projects; I couldn’t help but feel inspired.\n“What a great idea!” I told the teacher, then asked, “Who came up with it?”\n“Why, the kids of course!” she answered. “I just let them run with it.”\nI thought to myself, What is at play here? I wondered what had inspired nine-year-old kids to want to learn about and understand cultures beyond their own. Then it hit me: One of the six C’s of 21st century education—cross-cultural understanding—is alive and well at High Point.\nNow, I grew up with an encyclopedia and a typewriter when life seemed slower and more certain. So, it is difficult for my 49-year-old mindset to understand Generation Z (or Post-Millennials) who were born in the early 2000s to the 2010s, are being raised on the Internet, and communicate via social media. Their only certainty is rapid change and uncertainty. Their world is diverse and richly multicultural, whereas I grew up in a country that was largely Caucasian: in 1960 85% of the US population was White, 3.5% was Hispanic, 11% was Black, and only .6% was Asian, according to US Census figures. But Post-Millennials are the most culturally and ethnically diverse generation in our nation’s history: as of 2011, 47% of the US population is White, 29% is Hispanic, 13% is Black and 9% is Asian.\nThat rich diversity is very personal to me. Two years ago, my then 12-year-old twins went online to complete their 7th Grade applications. When they got to the part where they were supposed to identify who they are, they stopped cold: there was only one box available for them to check. But they went down the list, looking for the entry that would apply to them. Caucasian: check (my Eastern European Jewish side of the family). African-American: check (my wife’s side of the family). Native American: check (Cherokee, also on my wife’s side of the family). East Indian from Asia: check (again, my wife’s side of the family). Without realizing it, my Post-Millennial twins were the new poster children for cross-cultural understanding! And where kids in previous generations had to accept that everyone must fit into a single check-box, my twins proudly refused to deny any aspect of their heritage. They embrace it all.\nAll of which brings me right back to High Point where, in January, we will be celebrating International Day. The theme of that day will be to share our own special, cultural stories. For the truth is, here in this melting pot of cultures we call America the Beautiful, each and every one of us has a unique and powerful story to tell. Mine is the story of Eastern European immigrants escaping poverty and prejudice. It is the story of penniless immigrants arriving at Ellis Island with little from the old country, yet a land of unknown promise stretching before them. As a boy, I can recall my grandfather telling me that as a newly arrived 19-year old immigrant, he believed that the streets of America were paved with gold and opportunity.\nWhat is your story?\nSharing our own individual stories is so important because the very first step in developing cross-cultural understanding is to affirm our own identities and heritage. Only when we do this are we then able to appreciate and understand the identities and heritage of our friends and peers. From there, we can branch out and develop an understanding of all people and cultures across the globe—an essential 21st century life skill in a globally transformative world.\nHere at school, through this cross-cultural “C” of the “six C’s” process, we know that “We are the world at High Point.” We are a rich mosaic of cultures, ethnicities, languages, and backgrounds. We embrace this rich mosaic. We embrace every aspect of who we are individually. We share and celebrate our unique stories. And in doing so, we foster the essential 21st century skill of cross-cultural understanding. We realize we are all united by common values. We are unified not by the color of our skin, the faith that we observe, or the heritage that we embrace, but by the very richness of diversity of all of these aspects and—most important of all—by the content of our character.\nYo-Yo Ma, a French-born American cellist and United Nations Messenger of Peace, once observed that “our cultural strength has always been derived from our diversity of understanding and experience.” Our post-millennial students at High Point intuitively appreciate this principle. They understand that, above all else, character counts. As parents, educators and community members, it is up to us to help empower our students to lead the way in promoting cross-cultural understanding as they move through our halls, out our doors, and into the world and their lives beyond.", "domain": "geography"}

Warren taught woodworking and project management. Deanna served as the school nurse and taught health education.\nIN OWN WORDS:\n\"Lay Mission Helpers provided the way of our first bridge to Nkambe, Cameroon We came to Nkambe armed with the LMH classes in everything from church history to spirituality, from cultural and other religion sensitivity to assorted types of prayer. We were full of professional competence, having recently retired from responsible engineering and nursing careers. We were also full of apprehension — about living and working in this entirely foreign community for three years — in the unknown and unfamiliar, so far from our California home, family and friends.\nUpon reflection I am aware of many more bridges. In Nkambe, there is a lovely old stone bridge (probably from the German colonial period) over a year-round stream that brings water to the town and crashes off the bluff at Tchua Tchua, our local waterfall. That bridge supports the main road through Nkambe, and is the center of the Botanical Garden, the work of our friend, Farmer Tantoh and his friends, begun in earnest with beauty and design, now fading for lack of sustainability. It symbolizes so much of our frustration here — there is great natural beauty, youthful imagination and desire, but a paucity of funding, follow-through and long range planning.\nIn Nkambe, there are also small plank foot bridges over small streams — simple, utilitarian and sturdy (most of the time). Our everyday life has been like those bridges — a way to the other side, a way to another culture. Our days are simple — no TV, intermittent short wave radio, no fast food places, rising with the sun, daily 6 a.m. Mass, teaching and working at St. Rita’s just a quarter of a mile away, and early (8:30-9:00 p.m.) to bed — especially if the power is out.\nThe roads going to and from Nkambe are full of dust or mud (depending on if it is dry or rainy season) with pot holes the size of VWs, rocky and washboard texture — and the bridges are the worst! Any one could be an axle-breaker if you don’t watch and slow down. Those are sure to be bridges we shall always remember!\nThere are also hanging rope bridges — one in nearby Misaje, and one at the botanical garden in Limbe, reminding us of the traditional heritage in Cameroon — exciting, natural and functional.\nWe have seen many bridges built in our 3+ years here at St. Rita’s Catholic Technical High School in Nkambe, Cameroon — two-way bridges sure to remain with us wherever we are.\nThere has been the spiritual bridge of the Catholic Church which bridges all cultures. The Church encourages local color in the basic liturgy, as we worship one God and Father of us all, Jesus who came that we might all have life and the Holy Spirit, the constant presence in our daily lives. There has been a two-way bridge with our parishes, Christ the King in Nkambe and St. Anthony’s in Upland, California. We have exchanged books and stories and prayers — 'solidarity in action.'\nSchool nursing has bridged a career of 25 years in California to the assignment here as school infirmarian to 200+ boys and girls at this boarding school — ages 10 to 22. It was a big stretch! Organized school nursing also bridged, as school nurses from throughout the Diocese of Kumbo met twice a year to share information and experience — much as California school nurses have been doing for long.\nThe bridge of technology has brought us computers, a computer projector, woodworking power tools and that new copy machine — and we now have a new internet connection in Nkambe — a bridge to the whole world that we only dreamed of when we arrived. Yes, technology and development are coming to these rural mountains of Cameroon, and our students will be prepared.\nThe Lay Mission-Helpers have continued to be a bridge of support — with annual visits from the LMH staff, regular contacts by phone and e-mail, and the great LMH volunteers who have been with us here.\nThe social bridge is filled with so many people. We have made many new friends here, of all ages, from newborn babies to revered 'Pa’s and Ma’s,' from the big (2 ½ million people) city of Douala to the tiny village of Moh, from the local beggar to the local tribal chief, the Fon — all with extended hands of welcome.\nStudents have been a generation bridge for us — keeping us young in thought and spirit, reminding us of our own children and grandchildren, and challenging us to be better teachers, better Christians, and better communicators. We are enriched with the individual students who have become good friends.\nIn our term of service, we have grown from relationships with the newly installed Archbishop of Bamenda, Cornelius Esua, the staff of Kumbo Diocese, two school principals and more than 30 school staff members, four parish priests, the community of ICM sisters and assorted lay leaders at Christ the King and officials and neighbors of Nkambe.\nWe are grateful to God for providing these opportunities, enabling us to cross these bridges and ask that He continue to make them available to us and our Cameroonian friends. We look forward to continuing relationships which have been so mutually beneficial.\"", "domain": "geography"}

Stegle and Malkawi aim to support the introduction of Trio products into over 20 new countries over the course of 2021.\nIt comes as the company also agrees a new distribution partnership allowing its products to enter the Republic of Ireland for the first time. The ostomy specialist has partnered with medical device distributor Ceannaire Medical, to serve ostomates and stoma care clinicians within ROI and Northern Ireland, enabling Trio to significantly grow its footprint within the Irish ostomy market.\nStegle has over 20 years’ experience within the medical device industry and close to 15 years in the Asia-Pacific region, having spent time with Smith & Nephew in Singapore, and global wound care leader Acelity. Malkawi joins with over two decades of experience in healthcare, at the likes of Molnlycke, Crawford Healthcare and Abbott Laboratories.\nTrio recorded international sales of £1.1m in FY20, representing double digit growth on previous years. Its silicone-based products are developed and manufactured at its Skipton site and exported into 30 countries.\nAfter receiving significant funding in 2020 from the likes of HSBC UK and US-based SWK Holdings Corporation, the company has increased its global share of the ostomy products market by continually investing in R&D and the expansion of its Skipton manufacturing facilities.\nTrio was founded in 2006 by CEO Lloyd Pearce. The company’s patented, hybrid silicone formations are designed to provide ostomates with products that are more breathable and gentler for the skin, as compared to traditional ostomy products. It is targeting further global growth this year ahead of a significant new product launch that will represent a first for the ostomy market.\nChris Lane, chief operating officer at Trio Healthcare, said: “Alongside investment in our UK operations, targeting new countries and expanding in our existing territories will help to significantly further our position in the global ostomy market. The MENA and Asia Pacific markets in particular are high value and rapidly growing, so it’s vital we have a dedicated presence there, and we’re thrilled to have Christian and Hussain join the team. Their extensive knowledge and experience within their respective regions will enable us to gain a foothold across a wide range of new countries.\n“As well as targeting growth further afield, European exports remain a priority, and we have been able to record significant sales revenues on the continent via key new partnerships with the likes of Ceannaire. Our R&D challenges the lethargy within the market and means that we can ultimately provide ostomates across the globe with greater choice when it comes to their day-to-day stoma care. It’s an area within the medical devices industry that has attracted less attention than other conditions over the years, but is primed for new developments that genuinely improve quality of life for patients and ease healthcare burdens for clinicians.”\nChristian Stegle, Business Director Asia Pacific, Trio Healthcare, commented: “Trio is a fast-growing, ambitious team that has the technology and experience to truly disrupt the provision of ostomy care in the region, where there’s increasing prevalence of conditions typically associated with stomas, such as colorectal cancers.

From its humble beginnings in 2002, the competition now attracts over 200 entrants from around the world. Event Director and British surf champion Robyn Davies talks about this quintessentially British event, the history of bellyboarding, her own surfing career and surfer-led coastal conservation efforts in the UK.\nWhere is Chapel Porth?\nIt’s a tiny little beach on the north coast of Cornwall in the UK (south west corner of England). Lots of surfers over here haven’t even heard about it. At low tide you’ve got probably about five miles of a pretty white sand beach with amazing, amazing banks and an incredible backdrop as well. That’s what makes Chapel Porth so special – its backdrop to the surf, which is just this huge, huge high rugged cliff. Cornwall was very, very famous during the industrial revolution time when tin was very popular and that’s really a very striking and very unique sight of Cornish surfing. It’s a kind of spiritual place really.\nWhat does a tin mine look like? It doesn’t sound very beautiful.\nIt doesn’t, does it (laughs)! A tin mine consists of an old stone building … you can’t see the mineshaft unless you go into these buildings. They have tall stone stack as well. They’re actually very beautiful things. I’m sure when they were working they were pretty noisy, ugly, a lot of pollution. But it’s how Cornwall became famous in a way. Cornwall became extremely rich through tin but then the whole economic bottom dropped out of tin and there was no money in it and Cornwall kind of got left behind in the economic world. The shafts go on for tens and tens of miles beneath the ground. It’s quite incredible. So that’s where Chapel Porth is … it’s on the North coast of Cornwall. It’s pretty hidden away and a great surf spot … the surfers down there are so proud of coming from Chapel Porth because it is an incredible sight.\nWhat is the ratio of women and men surfing in the area?\nI would have to say possibly a third or even more of the surfers in the water are women. Sometimes there’s more women than men out there even. Surfing in the UK for women has really taken off, especially in pockets in Chapel Porth. Chapel Porth is one of those pockets where a lot of women do surf, which is quite interesting.\nTell me about the history of bellyboarding in Chapel Porth.\nBellyboarding is how the British first started surfing. They’re literally just pieces of plywood that are no taller than five foot in height. They’re usually around the four-foot mark and it’s got a lip on the nose to hold on to. If there’s peeling green waves further in, you can catch those as well, but it’s usually a white water sport. Back in the 1940s or very late 30’s, it started up around the Brighton region and then it started creeping further and further south. When you see the board you just think, that’s not going to catch a wave, it won’t even float me. But, in fact, it’s exhilarating … it sounds mad to kind of compare the two, but I’ve been to the North Shore of Hawaii and I’ve surfed Pipe and I’ve surfed Waimea and it’s that same kind of exhilaration. It’s a great sport to get into and it’s so accessible. You don’t need to know how to duck dive, you don’t need to be the strongest swimmer or the strongest surfer, you can literally just grab one and go out into the white water and have the time of your life.\nHow did the World Bellyboard Championships start?\nIt started nine years ago in memory of a chap called Arthur Traveller. He lived up country but he always used to come to Chapel Porth for his holidays. And no matter what the weather, no matter what the conditions, he would go in regardless, into the sea and have a bellyboard every day of his holiday. And he was just a real inspiration. Everyone knew him and had great respect for his passion for the ocean. When he passed away, friends of mine started up the world championships and it started off absolutely tiny with 8 or 10 people entering it and then it grew and grew, until three years ago, I took over as contest director. Last year we had 212 people enter. So it’s grown in a relatively short time into a huge, huge event that has just captured the imagination of the country. It’s quite quirky and quintessentially British. It’s an event that’s a bit tongue and cheek but you do become a bona fide world champion at the same time. We have people who are aged as young as 6 and our oldest competitor last year was 84, so it’s an event for literally everybody.\nWe’ve had people from New York come over; we’ve had people from Australia, from the Caribbean. There was a chap last year from Denmark and a family came over from South Africa. It’s truly become the world bellyboard event. We have thirty-four categories like the best swimsuit on the day. Nobodies allowed to wear wetsuits. Everybody’s in their swimsuits and it’s really encouraged to wear traditional costumes, a kind of 1940s attire. There’s prizes for the best costume, there’s prizes for the longest ride, there’s prizes for the most inventive and radical trick, there’s a prize for the best swimming cap because that’s also very quintessentially bellyboarding.\nIt’s really all-inclusive … it hasn’t become male dominated like the stand up surfing world has become. There’s no particular clique attached to it, it’s just really friendly. Everyone is out there together, enjoying it, helping each other along.\nHow did you start surfing? What was it like being a woman in the professional surfing world?\nI first took it up when I was thirteen. And it was literally a case of never seeing it before, to seeing it one day and thinking, wow, that looks amazing. I hired a board and I stood up the first time. I thought, I’m a natural; this is my sport and then obviously spent the next year in the white water struggling to get to one knee. But that first wave, I was hooked. My passion started in the blink of an eye, just one stroke into a wave and I’ve been a surfer ever since. When I was seventeen a friend said to me, hey, you should go in for some of the national competitions, which I did and it just kind of snowballed from there. I feel so blessed that I found something that I love so much which then became my career and then went off onto the world tour and just met very, very like mined people. Personally, I never felt a divide between men and women surfing. The only divide that was there for me was the ratio of men to women in the water. And when it came to career earnings and things with sponsors, I was always treated exactly the same way as my male teammates. I never actually found any sexism in surfing. I just saw myself as a surfer and saw everybody else as a surfer. I think that’s how it should be. I have heard stories about girls being told to get out of the water, they shouldn’t be out here and stuff but I never came across that.\nI was in a car crash and damaged my back and it has never got to that point where I’ve been able to train as much or surf as much as I really, really wanted to when I was a full time professional. But I’m still in the water all the time, just not up to the level that I used to be. And then it kind of dawned on me that a lot of the places I was surfing belonged to the National Trust. The National Trust is a conservation charity (with 3.6 million members in the UK) that looks after houses and beautiful gardens as well as the countryside and coastline all around the British Isles. And I thought, wow, I’ve used these beaches all my life and yet I’ve never felt any connection with this conservation charity who are actually enabling me to get to the beach. They put the paths in and the steps to get down the cliff, and also keep it undeveloped so most of the spots I go and surf it’s just me and whoever I go surfing with. So I started volunteering my image as a surfer to the National Trust and said hey listen, there’s an opportunity here, because I’ve surfed your beaches all my life and I had no Idea you were looking after them. I’d like to give something back and I know all the surfers would because surfers care for their environment, they especially care for their playground. And it kind of just snow balled from there. I started then working for the National Trust and working with the surf community to highlight the importance of conservation and the heritage of our coastline and how best to maintain and look after it, which has been a really hugely satisfying job.\nThe response back from the British surf industry has just been so welcoming. I mean I’ve had ten of the top British surfers turn around and say, we’d really like to be ambassadors for this cause because like you, we had no idea that this beach was being maintained by a charity. I think you could approach most surfers around the world and say, how important is the environment to you? And whether you’re talking about their immediate beach environment or further afield, I think they would all have some degree of knowledge and experience and passion to keep it safe and beautiful. There’s been a precedent set by Surfers Against Sewage who are a big campaign group to clean up the seas because sewage in the UK was a big, big problem. Surfers Against Sewage moved mountains to clean up the seas and it really crystallized in surfer’s minds that craggy, I’m not just a drop in the ocean, I am part of the ocean. When we all get together, we can actually make things happen, we can conserve stuff, we can change for the better and we can work as one so it’s all been really positive. I just find that so encouraging for the future. Yeah, I’m stoked.\nWhat would you say to someone in the US who is thinking about participating in the World Bellyboard Championships?\nIt’s a fantastic event. It’s like one big hug from two hundred belly boarders. It’s celebrating all that’s good about surfing and surfing roots as well, the heritage of surfing. Chapel Porth is one of my favorite places. It’s stunning. It’s barren in the winter and then in the summer months all the heather blooms into life and there’s just so much to see and marvel at down there. I’d say, if you were thinking about a quirky different holiday, definitely come along; we’d be really stoked to see you.\nBut you don’t allow wetsuits?\nYeah, no wetsuits (laughs)! It can be quite cold, especially for the older members of the event, so we do provide hot water bottles and cups of tea afterwards (laughter).\n• World Bellyboarding Championships: http://www.bellyboarding.co.uk\n• Video of event: http://vimeo.com/10688226\n• The National Trust: http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/\n• Surfers Against Sewage: http://www.sas.org.uk/\n• Photo Credit – Matt Cardy/Getty Images Europe: http://www.mattcardyphoto.com", "domain": "geography"}

Under the circumstances, home was where there was food at our fingertips.\nMatthews is stunningly green. And that alone may be one of its major attractions. Trees everywhere! Tall, full, graceful! Pine, maple, oak, juniper, birch, ash trees! I was glad to point out the species to Nicole on our daily walks to a Chick-fil-A for lunch.\nI felt like I was back home in Russia . . . I have a fondness for forests. For their tranquility. Mystique. Majesty.\nIf you love nature, you can’t pass up a visit to Squirrel Lake Park that’s nestled in one of the many wooded areas of the town. Besides a kiddie playground, picnic shelters, and a fishing pond, it offers Four Mile Creek Greenway—an asphalted trail intermittent with boardwalk. As you stroll, jog, or bike along there, you might spot a wild rabbit as it hops away into the thick of the trees frightened by the noise of your shoes or a water snake basking in the sun on the rocks of the creek or a patch of wild strawberries on the side of the trail hidden in the tall grass.\nPerfect for a quiet getaway. We went there numerous times after Kevin got home from work.\nCharlotte is definitely one of a kind. Charming, laid-back southern city where rich history permeates its everyday life. I love the way sleek skyscrapers tower over quaint centuries-old houses without ruining the integrity of the historic uptown, the way modern-day traffic caters in to a horse and buggy taking tourists sightseeing, the way a lot of shops and businesses are located in the old mills and warehouses that they took the time and effort to renovate and bring back to their original glory. This is a city that values the past, enjoys the present, and projects for the future.\nWe started our tour of Charlotte with visiting Atherton Farmer’s Market. My kind of attraction. Housed inside an old warehouse in Historic South End of Charlotte, it’s a hodgepodge of local foods, farms, and artisans. From fresh meats and vegetables to unique art and jewelry, this place has something for everybody. Even for me who had no basket to load, no stove to cook, and no extra room in the luggage to fill.\nAs I was leaving the place, I grabbed a spring issue of Edible Charlotte from the newsstand which led me to discover a place so unique and gorgeous it takes your breath away. Right under our noses in a green quirky town of Monroe where Kevin drove to work every day. A place not a lot of locals know about and a place I am already brewing plans to return to.\nTreehouse Vineyards is a family-owned Vineyard and Winery that specializes in producing wines from native muscadines as well as imported grapes. We headed there on Mother’s Day for a wine tasting and a tour of the wine-making process followed by a stay in one of their ruggedly charming tree houses about 30 feet off the ground. And I thought tree houses were only for kids! The one that we rented for an hour can accommodate up to 6 people, seats comfortably 4 inside, and includes an outside fireplace on the deck overlooking the vineyard. Are you raising your eyebrows yet? Wait! It gets better! Their other tree house has a kitchenette, full bath, upstairs bedroom with a queen size bed, hot and cold water, heat, air conditioning, and a gas grill on the private deck . . . and it is booked through the end of this year already. And this is exactly why I have to make plans to return there some time in the fall next year for their Grape Stomping event or in the winter when bonfire nights complete with s’mores kits draw people in from near and far.\nAnd while the house wines are bold in character, rich in taste, and distinct in flavor, and the farm’s vistas of well-groomed muscadine vines and horses roaming them freely are beautiful and romantic, and the tree houses make perfect getaways for kids of all ages, it’s one family’s incredible journey that brings it all together into one-of-a-kind experience.\nPhil and Dianne Nordan, the owners, took a chance when they decided to put the farmland that’d been in Dianne’s family for over 200 years to good use by growing native muscadine grapes and wining them in the state that wasn’t big on wine at the time and muscadine wines were often overlooked in liquor stores due to their intensely sweet taste. But hard labor, strong vision, and the tree houses that are an attraction by themselves have definitely paid off, with the vineyard considerably outselling its competitors and taking home both the gold and silver medals for its muscadine wines at the 2011 NC State Fair.\nAlthough I am not crazy about very sweet wines, I must admit their Sunset Hills, which is a sweet red blend of three different muscadine varieties, seemed a bit smoother than the others and more gripping with the flavor of the fruit. Pretty good.\nTheir viniferous wines are as delicious. My personal favorite is “Rock Quarry” Riesling. Made without the muscadine grape, it has a dryer, more delicate flavor.\nThey sell the wines by the glass and the bottle, and you are welcome to make a picnic out of it on the deck of one of the two tree houses while enjoying the farm’s spectacular views.\nIn short, good people, good wine, good entertainment.\nStop by and wine a bit.", "domain": "geography"}

The Population Division plays a crucial role in providing accurate, timely and unbiased information to the international community about the many facets of migration, including its links to the process of social and economic development.\nMember States of the United Nations and other stakeholders have made repeated calls for an improved evidence base on international migration. The Population Division has worked hard to respond to this demand.\nI would like to acknowledge the work of the Migration Section within the Population Division. The Section is headed by Mr. Bela Hovy. He and his team have worked tirelessly to bring you the data and analysis we are presenting today.\nThe data come from our recent publication, Trends in International Migration: The 2013 Revision. This publication is currently available through the worldwide web. It includes global estimates of the number of international migrants, defined in most cases as persons who are living outside their country of birth.\nThese estimates have been produced for 232 countries or areas of the world. They cover the years 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2013. Notably, the estimates in this series have been fully disaggregated by age, sex and country of origin and destination.\nIn this brief overview, I would like to highlight some of the major trends that we have uncovered in our analysis of this new dataset.\nMore people than ever are living abroad. According to our latest estimates, the\nnumber of international migrants worldwide has reached 232 million in 2013, up from\n175 million in 2000 and 154 million in 1990. About 6 of every 10 international migrants\nare living in the developed regions, or the global North. In total, these migrants\nnumber 136 million, compared to 96 million living in the global South.\nWorldwide, international migrants account for a small share of the total population. Although the number of international migrants worldwide has been steadily increasing, they only account for about three per cent of the total population. In the developed countries, however, migrants account for about 11 per cent of the total population, compared to less than 2 per cent in the developing world.\nThe effects of migration are much broader than these percentages suggest, since many people who do not migrate are also impacted by migration.\nOverall, Europe and Asia host the largest numbers of international migrants, with 72 million residing in Europe and 71 million in Asia. Together, they account for nearly two-thirds of all international migrants worldwide.\nYet, international migrants are highly concentrated in just ten countries. The largest number of international migrants is living in the United States (46 million, or 20 per cent of the world’s total) followed by the Russian Federation (11 million), Germany (10 million) and Saudi Arabia (9 million).\nMigrants by age and sex\nMost international migrants are of working age — from 20 to 64 years old — numbering\n171 million and accounting for three quarters of the total migrant population. This\nshare is significantly higher than for the general population, where the proportion\nof people in the working age range stands at 58 per cent.\nSince most migrants are of working age, young migrants, those under age 20, are generally underrepresented among all international migrants. In addition, children born to foreign-born parents are not counted as international migrants in many countries. As a consequence, children only account for 15 per cent of the global migrant population, compared to 35 per cent for the total population.\nOlder migrants — those above age 65 — represent about 11 per cent of all migrants in the world. Many older migrants have been living in their countries of destination for decades. In developed countries, the number of older migrants has increased from 11 million in 1990 to 18 million in 2013.\nRoughly half of all international migrants are women. Yet, there are considerable differences across regions. Whereas 52 per cent of all migrants in the North are women, they account for only 43 per cent in the South. Historic destinations of international migrants, such as Europe and the Americas, generally host higher proportions of women. Male migrants, however, significantly outnumber female migrants in Asia and Africa, where migration is often of shorter duration, and where the living and working conditions favour men over women.\nMigrants by origin and destination\nOur new estimates track movements of individuals between countries, recording both\nthe country of origin and the country of destination. Our estimates reveal that\nSouth-to-South movements were the most common form of migration around 1990. The\ndata also show that, since around the year 2000, migration from South to North has\nbecome as common as migration between countries of the global South.\nToday, in 2013, about 82.3 million international migrants who were born in developing countries are now living as migrants in other countries of the South. This number is only slightly higher than the 81.9 million international migrants who originated in the South but are now living in the North.\nFrom 1990 to 2000, most of the growth in the number of international migrants was driven by rising levels of South-to-North migration. Since 2000, however, both South North and South-South migration have accounted for about 40 per cent of the growth in the global population of foreign-born persons. Thus, most international migrants originate in developing countries, but in recent years they have been settling in almost equal numbers in the developed and the developing regions.\nOverall, Asians represent the largest diaspora group residing outside their major area of birth. They account for about 19 million foreign-born persons living in Europe, 16 million in Northern America and 3 million in Oceania. Migrants born in Latin America and the Caribbean represent the second largest diaspora group, with the majority living in Northern America, especially the United States.\nSome countries of Southern and Western Asia host large populations of international migrants from neighbouring countries. In 2013, for example, we estimate that 3.2 million international migrants from Bangladesh are residing in India. Another prominent example is migrants from Afghanistan, mostly refugees, who live in neighbouring countries: there are around 2.3 million Afghanis in Pakistan and a similar number in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The oil producing countries of Western Asia host many foreign-born individuals from Southern Asia: we estimate that there are around 2.9 million persons born in India who are now living in the United Arab Emirates, with another 1.8 million in Saudi Arabia.\nThe world’s largest corridor of international migration is between the United States of America and Mexico. Our estimates indicate that the United States is hosting some 13 million persons who were born in Mexico. Germany and France host the largest immigrant communities within Europe. About 1.5 million persons born in Turkey reside in Germany: many of these migrants came to Germany under the guest worker programmes of the 1960s and 1970s and then opted to stay. In France, there are some 1.5 million international migrants from Algeria, a former French colony.\nRefugees account for a relatively small proportion of the global migrant population, numbering 15.7 million or around seven per cent of all international migrants in 2013. Nearly nine of every ten refugees in the world live in developing regions. Asia hosts the largest number of refugees (10.4 million) followed by Africa (2.9 million) and Europe (1.5 million).\nThe 2013 High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development\nThe United Nations General Assembly, for the second time in its history, will convene\na High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development. This event will\ntake place from 3 to 4 October 2013. Its purpose is to identify concrete measures\nto strengthen coherence and cooperation at all levels, with a view to enhancing\nthe benefits of international migration for migrants and countries alike and its\nimportant links to development, while reducing its negative implications.\nThe High-level Dialogue presents an opportunity for Member States, civil society and the international community to advance the debate on international migration and development, and to promote concrete actions to improve the lives of migrants and to enhance the benefits of migration for countries of origin and destination.\nI think everyone agrees that data and research are essential for evidence-based policy-making and informed public debate. We are convinced that these new data will inform the ongoing debate about international migration and guide Member States in their deliberations and future actions.\nLet me finish by mentioning the Population Division’s website devoted to international\nmigration, www.unmigration.org, where you can find a wealth of detailed information,\nincluding this statement, the press release, a wall chart, three fact sheets and\na link to an online database containing detailed country-by-country statistics.\nI thank you for your interest, and I would welcome any questions you may have at this time.", "domain": "geography"}

I first got wanderlust in sixth grade when I saw Stonehenge in a history book. I went to the UK when I was 21, and immersed myself in all of the ancient art and archeology I could find. Luckily, I married a guy who was interested in travel, too. I’ve got a really busy life, so when I travel now I like to visit more rural, remote places where I can relax. I’m not a risky traveler, I prefer places where I can be alone or with local people. Iceland is my favorite place to travel; I’ve been there 45 times. With my travel company, I take small groups and we can get into the nooks and crannies that big tour buses can’t.\nI’m a curious person and my curiosity has allowed me to have an interesting life. I have a degree in art history from NYU, and I was a professional chef for many years, but that’s an extremely physical profession. I was a full-time traffic broadcaster for what was Metro Networks, and now I record traffic reports for another company. I get up at 4 a.m. and record them in my studio here. I own a small farm, so I take care of the animals first (a bat, a porcupine, goats, a pig, a peacock, a turkey, a hamster, and a parrot that swears), then I do the radio broadcast, then I take my dog Bradley with me to work.\nWhat first brought me to White Memorial was my work as a wildlife rehabilitator. People get an impression that this is a gigantic institution but, while it’s a big piece of property, it’s maintained by very few people. We’re the largest privately held land organization in the state and we have one of the most beautiful museums in the U.S., which includes precious dioramas painted by James Perry Wilson (whose work can be seen in the Museum of Natural History).\nAlain and May White were such land junkies; beginning in the early 1900s, they began buying land and bringing it back to its natural state. They gifted 6,000 acres to the state of Connecticut, which are now some of the best state forests in the country. Alain was a published botanist, and was instrumental in the reforestation of red pines, as well as a chess master who solved German codes.\nI’m the editor of the organization’s newsletters, and I arrange Saturday programming here, which is a way to selfishly bring in everything I’ve always wanted to learn about. If something interests me, I figure everyone else will be interested, too. I love extinct species — I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to learn about the dodo bird. Our whole drive is to get children out into nature. I don’t think it’s ever too early to teach kids about animals becoming extinct. It’s important to show how human greed and not being educated about this has caused the demise of species around the world.", "domain": "geography"}

Although the town itself is officially 100 years old, the community known as McConnells (originally McConnellsville) is actually much older. Like many other small towns in the Carolina Piedmont, McConnells can trace its origins to a colonial trading post located at the intersection of two wagon roads, which was followed a century later by a railroad depot and a rural post office.\nMcConnells, like the cities of York and Chester which it lies between, is situated on a natural elevated ridge that runs north-south through the centers of York and Chester Counties. The land gradually slopes off to the east and west on both sides of this ridge, and both slopes are well watered by numerous creeks and spring branches. The South Fork of Fishing Creek begins just east of McConnells, and empties into the main body of Fishing Creek, which in turn enters the Catawba River in southeastern Chester County. The headwaters of Turkey Creek lie immediately to the north and west of McConnells, and these streams join together and enter the Broad River in southwestern Chester County. The fertile hills and woodlands along these creeks were traversed and hunted by Native Americans for at least 10,000 years before the coming of Europeans, and these areas were natural choices for settlement by early pioneers coming from Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the British Isles in the mid-1700s. Indian corn, wheat and oats were the predominant food crops raised by these first settlers, and the waters of Fishing Creek and Turkey Creek provided ample power for grist mills that produced corn meal, wheat flour and oat meal from the harvested grains.\nAn early eighteenth century wagon road cut across the headwaters of Fishing Creek and Turkey Creek in an east-west direction, following the approximate path of modern Chappell Road east of McConnells and US Highway 322 west of McConnells. This wagon road replaced an even earlier Indian track that connected the prehistoric Indian fords on the upper Catawba and Broad Rivers. This road intersected another early wagon road known as the “Turkey Creek-Sandy River Road,” which followed the natural ridge running through the middle of York and Chester Counties and formed the main route from Kings Mountain in the north to the intersection of the Charleston and Saluda Roads, where the city of Chester now lies. This road approximated the modern route of US Highway 321, and the intersection of these two wagon roads laid the groundwork for the future town of McConnells.\nOne of the earliest settlers in what would eventually become McConnells was William Moore, a member of a large Scotch-Irish family who settled on upper Fishing Creek in the 1750s. On April 8, 1754, Moore received a 300 acre North Carolina land grant “on ye South fork of fishing Creek adjoining branches of turkie creek.” This was during the period when present-day York County was claimed by North Carolina, and Moore’s grant was located in what was then considered to be Anson County. Another very early family who settled on upper Fishing Creek near McConnells were the Kuykendalls, a Dutch family from New York who began arriving around 1752. After 1754 the French and Indian War slowed the influx of settlers to the area, but settlement resumed in earnest once the war ended in 1763. By this time the area was considered to be part of the newly-formed Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and the incoming settlers were predominantly Scotch-Irish Presbyterians moving down from the heavily settled western frontier districts of Virginia and North Carolina.\nA trader and surveyor named John Wade settled on the old wagon road near modern McConnells and built a store or trading post there sometime prior to 1764. His earliest land record, a 300 acre Mecklenburg grant, was surveyed on August 19, 1764, but by that time colonial officials were already referring to his trading post as “Wade’s old store” or “Wade’s old store house.” It seems likely that Wade came here much earlier, probably during the French and Indian War, but he did not record his property until after the war was over. Wade also obtained several other grants in and around McConnells, and he purchased property from another early Turkey Creek settler named Matthew Floyd, a wealthy planter and colonial tax collector. Floyd would later gain notoriety during the Revolutionary War as the commander of a Loyalist militia regiment at the Battle of Huck’s Defeat near present-day Brattonsville.\nAmong the other early families who settled in the McConnells area prior to the American Revolution are many names familiar to modern McConnells residents: Ashe, Bratton, Burris, Love, Lowry, McKnight, Neely, Rainey, Sadler, Steele, Wallace, Williamson, and, finally, just before the outbreak of the Revolution, the McConnell family. However, the bulk of the land covered by the present town of McConnells was originally owned by a Scotch-Irish settler named James Hannah. Between June 1765 and August 1767, Hannah obtained several large land grants totaling over 500 acres, and he also purchased some of John Wade’s earlier patents and William Moore’s 300 acre tract.\nAround 1769 these early settlers established Bethesda Presbyterian Church, which became the first Christian church in the vicinity and provided a focal point for further settlement. The colonial border survey of 1772 officially resolved the dispute between the two Carolinas over who owned the area of present-day York County, and the territory officially became known as the New Acquisition District of South Carolina. During the American Revolution (1775-1783), the predominately Scotch-Irish settlers on Fishing Creek and Turkey Creek almost overwhelmingly supported independence and fought against the British, Loyalists, and their Indian allies in numerous battles throughout South Carolina and Georgia. These engagements included the Battle of Huck’s Defeat, fought at James Williamson’s plantation near McConnells in July 1780, and the Battle of Kings Mountain, fought in northwestern York County in October 1780. Local planters like William and Hugh Bratton, Robert Ashe, James and William Hannah, Andrew Love, John and Reuben McConnell, Samuel Rainey, John and Joseph Steele, and Samuel Williamson all distinguished themselves during the war, and after the war they resumed their lives as planters, church leaders, civic officers, and as the heads of large families. They also lent their talents and energies to creating a new county between the Broad and Catawba Rivers named York, which was officially established in 1785 with its county seat at another early crossroads which became Yorkville.\nThe invention of the cotton gin in 1793 made short-staple cotton a viable cash crop for the South Carolina upcountry, and upland cotton took its place alongside Indian corn, wheat and livestock as one of the area’s chief agricultural products. Cotton planting also opened the door to the increased usage of slave labor. Prior to the Revolution, the total number of slaves and slave owners in the York County area was small, but after 1790 families like the Brattons, Raineys and McConnells began aggressively expanding their plantations and buying up large numbers of African slaves from Virginia and the South Carolina lowcountry to work these new plantations.\nIn 1800 York County became York District. Gordon Moore surveyed York District in 1820 for Robert Mills’ South Carolina atlas, which was published in 1825. The 1820 survey shows the old wagon road running from Kings Mountain through Yorkville and then due south past the “McConnel” and “M. Love” plantations into Chester District, but no actual town yet existed at the old crossroads. That situation began to change in 1848, when residents of Yorkville and western York County decided to construct a new railroad that would run from Chesterville through Yorkville and into North Carolina.\nAs originally planned, the Kings Mountain Railroad would tie in with the existing Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad in Chesterville and proceed northeast through the town of Lowryville (now Lowrys), then turn due north and parallel the Turkey Creek-Sandy River Road to Yorkville. From Yorkville it would bear northwest into North Carolina, where it would tie into the Southern Railroad at the town of Kings Mountain in Cleveland County. Investors were recruited, capital was raised and the Kings Mountain Railroad Company received its charter in 1848. By the end of 1852 a line had been built connecting Chesterville with Yorkville, but the line stopped at Yorkville due to a shortage of funds. The crossroads near the McConnell plantation, located almost exactly halfway between Chesterville and Yorkville, was a natural place to put a railroad depot with a water tank and firewood supplies. As the railroad was being finished, Joseph P. Moore and Hugh Burris opened a small store nearby selling dry goods and millinery, which they called Moore & Burris.\nOnce the railroad was completed, a post office was not far behind. The name “McConnellsville,” like the names of many other rural communities in the area (including Guthriesville, Brattonsville, and Lowryville), was probably coined when the first US post office was established there. The McConnellsville Post Office officially opened for business on April 1, 1854, and the first postmaster was Joseph P. Moore, who operated the post office out of the same building as his store, adjacent to the railroad station. With the establishment of a railroad station, country store, and post office, McConnellsville officially began its life as a small Southern town. When the War Between the States began in 1861, the white population overwhelmingly supported the Confederacy, and several companies of soldiers were organized from the area in and around McConnells, including the Turkey Creek Guards and the Turkey Creek Grays, which became Company E and Company I of the 5th South Carolina Infantry Regiment, and the Lacy Guards, which became Company K of the 17th South Carolina Infantry Regiment.\nWith South Carolina’s secession from the Union and the establishment of the Confederate States of America, the McConnellsville Post Office ceased to be a United States post office and became a Confederate States post office. Following the conclusion of the War Between the States, the US government would not sanction the appointment of any postmaster who had supported the Confederacy, and this eliminated J. P. Moore and most of the other white residents of McConnells. The McConnellsville Post Office was closed down on January 4, 1867, and for the next four years the residents of McConnells had to travel several miles north to the Guthriesville Post Office, run by Miss Susan Jane Guthrie, in order to send and receive their mail. The McConnellsville Post Office was finally reopened on March 30, 1871, with the appointment of Andrew F. Lindsey as postmaster, who presumably was acceptable to the Federal authorities.\nCourtesy of Michael C. Scoggins, Yorkville Historical Society", "domain": "geography"}

Fishing has always been an integral part of Bahamian life and it is the foundation of Deep Water Cay. It has played host to some of the most adventurous and distinguished fly fishermen. Joe Brooks, Curt Gowdy, Stu Apte, Flip Pallot, Lefty Kreh, Chico Fernandez, and Sandy Moret are just a few. More recently and for two years running, the Buccaneers & Bones, which include legendary anglers Lefty Kreh, Tom Brokaw, Liam Neeson, Michael Keaton, Bill Klyn, Dr. Aaron Adams, and Yvon Chinouard chose Deep Water Cay as the place to meet for their adventures in bonefishing.\nAs you wade the more than 250 square miles of hard-packed white sand flats, you’ll easily spot bonefish. Boat fishing is done around the softer bottoms that are covered in Turtle Grass and oriented around the mangroves. But the water runs far beyond the mangrove root tangles and into saltwater lakes with freshwater sources, making them a virtual baitfish factory.\nThe real treat is that the 2.2 square mile Deep Water Cay lies on an east/west tack and is situated below an archipelago of moderate-sized cays arranged on a north/south tack. A series of channels connect the southern and northern fisheries, making an angler’s trip a quick run to any of them.\nDeep Water Cay is located in the midst of an incredibly diverse string of currents. The Straits of Florida are to the west and have strong, fertile currents connecting to the western end of Grand Bahama Island. The Grand Bahama Bank runs north and connects at that same point. From the fall through the spring, these currents bring Wahoo, Sailfish, White and Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and tuna to within casting range. What brings them close to Deep Water Cay is the Northwest Providence Channel providing anglers with short runs to prime fishing. Here the channel depths drop quickly from a foot at Mean Low Water to nearly 750 feet. So climb aboard our center console 33-foot World Cat and experience our bluewater offshore fishery.\nBecause of the difference in tides, there is a three-hour passage of time between the east and the west ends of Deep Water Cay so anglers enjoy more prime time fishing.\nFishing times run from 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM.\nIf you want more, there are flats within walking distance of the infinity pool, the cottages, and all the private residence homes.\nAnglers who arrive at Deep Water Cay will fish from an entirely new fleet of Hell’s Bay Flats Skiffs: the Hell’s Bay Marquesa and the Hell’s Bay Professional. These boats float in the skinniest of water, offer a dry and comfortable ride, and provide stability while casting. They have custom enhancements for the best fishing experience possible. Additionally, the Yamaha outboards don’t release oil and gasoline into our pristine environment.\nLess than a mile off shore, reef fishing will provide the perfect activity for everyone, including the kids. No special skills are required. Grouper, snapper and barracuda are the commonly caught saltwater fish. This type of fishing is done from our 28-foot Grady White and remains strong year round.\nOur Executive Chef will prepare your catch for dinner.\nBahamas Best Guides\nThe Deep Water Cay guide team is an assemblage of skilled and talented men who have been learning as well as teaching techniques over a very long time. Some of our guides are second and third generation guides that come from legendary families of fishing guides. Fathers, grandfathers, uncles, cousins and brothers have shared information, tips, and tricks that have become time-honored over the fifty years since Deep Water Cay was founded.\nOur current guide staff includes: Meko Glinton, Mervin Thomas, William Pinder, Joseph Pinder, Pery Demeritte, Michael Taylor, Randy Reckley, Harry Rolle and Ted Cooper. All of these men are seasoned veterans who also run a Guide Training Program working with younger, up-and-coming guides.\nTwo of the more celebrated guides include Meko Glinton and Mervin Thomas. These fellows have been guides with us for many years and continue to serve the guests of Deep Water Cay. Mervin joined the guide staff in 1977 and enjoys introducing new and experienced anglers alike to the thousands of acres of bonefish flats in the area. His early expertise was with reef fishing for grouper but then began adding flats fishing to really hone his trade. Mervin’s hard work was rewarded when Stanley Glinton took him in under his wing. Stanley was our senior guide at the time and one of the original Deep Water Cay guides.\nOmeko “Meko” Glinton has a fabled past of family guides that were the early pioneers of flats fishing in the Bahamas. Meko’s grandfather is David Glinton, Sr., his father is Stanley Glinton and his uncles are the famous talented Pinder brothers! His grandfather guided at Deep Water Cay from 1958 to 2002 and his dad was a lead guide for over 20 years. Today Meko is one of the most requested guides at Deep Water Cay and prefers to wade fish over boat fish as there is a tremendous amount of hunting and stalking involved. Meko is a past Bahamas bonefish Champion and past winner of the Redbone Tournament.\nThe fishing future of Deep Water Cay is very much secure with the continual support of our outstanding collection of guides and the training program. They all enjoy the challenge of the hunt and the teaching opportunities that come with every outing as well as the guests who just can’t seem to get enough.\nTime of Year\nJanuary and February are good months; with an occasional northern wind cooling off the flats. January’s average temperature is 69 degrees, and you’ll find good numbers of bones in the 3-6 pound class.\nMarch, April and May are peak Bahamian bonefishing months – terrific for both numbers and size of fish.\nJune, July and August are largely perceived as too hot to fish, but it’s not true. Average temperatures in July and August average 83 degrees. You’ll see big schools of bonefish that weigh up to about 8 pounds.\nSeptember through November is when the biggest fish of the year are caught.\nFrom January through May you’ll want to have a nine-weight rod and in the summer you can scale down to a saltwater six- or seven-weight.\nFlurocarbon leaders ranging from 8-16 pound test tippets get the nod. If you had to bring just three flies, bring a Mantis shrimp, a McVey Gotcha, and a Meko’s Special. Bring some more to try. Tie them with plastic eyes and bead chain eyes around a size 6. By the way – the Meko Special was developed for these waters by a Deep Water Cay guide (obviously named Meko).\nThe technical outerwear of casting shirts and fast-drying shorts is ideal. Long-sleeved shirts and pants are the best idea, particularly if they are made from a quick drying material with an SPF rating. Flats boots for wading are recommended and either amber or copper-colored, wrap-style sunglasses help you spot fish.\nThe Pro Shop is fully stocked with the best quality fly gear on the market. You’ll find ORVIS rods and reels along with Sage rods, Tibor reels, and Rio lines. If you forget anything at home, don’t worry, you’ll find it here.", "domain": "geography"}

The two funds will control GIP on an equal basis and Giulio Schenone, one of the founders of GIP, will remain a shareholder in the Group and will become GIP’s new Chief Executive Officer. The transaction was negotiated bilaterally.\nGIP was established in Genoa in 1993 by Luigi Negri, Giovanni Cerruti, the Magillo family and Giulio Schenone, who together successfully developed the Group into a significant operator with interests in four strategic container terminals. In 2016, GIP’s terminals moved over 2.6 million TEUs to and from the key manufacturing and trading markets of Northern and Central Italy.\nThe Group has interests in the following terminals:\n- Southern European Container Hub (SECH): GIP acquired SECH, one of the first container terminal concessions in Italy, in 1993. It has grown steadily under GIP’s ownership and is now the third largest terminal port in the Port of Genoa.\n- Terminal Darsena Toscana (TDT): TDT is the largest container terminal in Tuscany and primarily serves the large markets of Tuscany and Emilia Romagna to and from the Americas.\n- Voltri Terminal Europe (VTE): GIP is invested alongside PSA International in VTE, the largest terminal port in Genoa and the largest gateway port for shipping lines serving Northwest Italy.\n- Venice Container Terminal (Vecon):GIP is also invested alongside PSA International in Vecon, the main container facility in the Port of Venice. Vecon is the natural gateway between the substantial cargo market of Northeast Italy and the East Mediterranean/Middle and Far Eastern markets.\nGIP has also partnered with MSC, a world leader in global container shipping, in the new deep-water Bettolo container terminal which will adjoin the SECH terminal in the centre of the port of Genoa.\nLuigi Negri, Chairman of GIP, said: “We are proud to have built GIP over the past 25 years to become one of Italy’s leading container terminal operators. GIP sees considerable opportunities ahead and we are excited that Infracapital and InfraVia have agreed to support the next stage of GIP’s development.”\nEd Clarke, Co Founder of Infracapital, said: “We are delighted to be investing alongside Infravia in GIP. GIP’s portfolio of strategic container terminals in Northern Italy serving the country’s economic heartland is an excellent fit with Infracapital’s investment strategy. This is our second investment in Italy and follows on from our very successful investment in Associated British Ports. We look forward to working with GIP’s management team, customers, employees and local communities as well as GIP’s existing partners, PSA and MSC, to continue to support the development of the business and its important contribution to the Italian economy.”\nVincent Levita, Founder and CEO of InfraVia, said: “GIP is one of the leading container port operators in Northern Italy and thanks to its state-of-the-art facilities and the partnership with the leading global container port operator, PSA, we believe GIP is ideally positioned to capture the further growth of container trade in the region. We are pleased to invest alongside Infracapital and are looking forward to our collaboration with management, local stakeholders, customers and employees to further develop the business.”\nAbout Gruppo Investimenti Portuali (GIP)\nGIP’s main business includes interests in the port terminals Voltri Terminal Europa (VTE), Southern European Container Hub (SECH), Venice Container Terminal (Vecon) and Terminal Darsena Toscana (TDT). GIP’s terminals are strategically placed across the financial and trade hubs of Northern and Central Italy in Genoa, Livorno and Venice.\nSource: Infravia and Infracapital Press Release", "domain": "geography"}

If so, you’re in for a treat! NASA has just launched a brand-new app that will make spotting the International Space Station (ISS) an absolute breeze.\nSay hello to NASA’s Spot the Station app, your personal guide to tracking the ISS in the night sky. Whether you’re an aspiring astronaut or just a curious stargazer, this app is set to revolutionize your celestial experience.\nA Window to the Stars\nNASA has been running the Spot the Station website for quite some time, but with the new app, the experience has been taken to a whole new level. Now, you can take the magic of space exploration with you wherever you go, thanks to the app’s availability on both iPhone and Android devices.\nThe app boasts augmented reality features and a user-friendly interface that provides detailed information about the ISS’s orbit and much more.\nWhen to Look Up\nThe ISS is most visible during the early morning or evening when the sun is not yet up, but its gentle glow still kisses the orbiting station. The Spot the Station app takes all the guesswork out of spotting this marvel of human ingenuity.\nIt breaks down precisely when the ISS will pass over your location, offering insights into when it will shine its brightest, how high it will appear, and its direction of travel. It’s like having your personal ISS concierge in the palm of your hand.\nCountdown to Your Celestial Encounter\nThe main page of the app features a countdown timer that tells you when the next possible ISS sighting will occur. You’ll also find a globe and map that display the ISS’s current position.\nIf you’re truly dedicated to tracking the station, the app provides a full-page tracker view to follow the ISS’s location in real-time. And to make sure you never miss an overhead pass, you can enable notifications that will alert you when the ISS is about to make an appearance.\nBe sure to read some of our most recent posts about cool new gadgets and technology:\n- HBO Max Subscription Changes: What Legacy Ad-Free Subscribers Need to Know\n- YouTube Expands Crackdown on Ad Blockers: A User Exodus and the Battle for Uninterrupted Content\nAugmented Reality: Bringing Space Closer\nThe second page of the app is where the real magic happens. It offers an augmented reality view that helps you pinpoint the exact location of the ISS in the night sky.\nWhile apps like SkyView have provided AR features for exploring the night sky, NASA’s Spot the Station app is entirely free and ad-free. It’s your ticket to an immersive experience that allows you to interact with the ISS as if it were right in front of you.\nUnlock a Universe of Information\nBut the Spot the Station app doesn’t stop at mere tracking. It also provides a treasure trove of information for those who are hungry for knowledge about the ISS. The resources page is your gateway to NASA’s extensive collection of articles available on NASA.gov.\nIt presents the latest news related to crew activity on the Space Station, offers additional readings about the ISS, its crew, and the history of international cooperation in space exploration. You’ll also find a fact sheet with general information about the ISS, perfect for anyone looking to dive deeper into the world of space science.\nRobyn Gatens, the International Space Station director at NASA Headquarters in Washington, perfectly sums up the excitement of this new app: “Even after 23 years of continuous human presence aboard the International Space Station, it’s incredibly exciting to see the station when you look up at just the right moment. The orbiting laboratory that continues to provide so many unique, tangible benefits for humanity really isn’t that far out of reach.”\nSo, whether you’re a budding astronomer, a space enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates the beauty of the night sky, NASA’s Spot the Station app is a must-have. It’s your passport to experiencing the wonder of the International Space Station like never before. Download the app, look up, and get ready to spot the station in all its celestial glory.", "domain": "geography"}

The other day I got to wondering how the cycle path that I use each day matches up to other bike lanes around the world. Are they all the same size? I took some time to look into how wide a cycle lane is in different places around the world?\nIn the USA, cycle lanes have a minimum width of 1.2m, the joint lowest cycle lane width for any country along with Italy. Other countries, such as the Netherlands (2m) and the UK (1.5m) have much wider cycle lanes. Within the US, some states set higher standards, for example, New York has a cycle lane width of 2m.\nSo, we’ve established that the USA and Italy have the lowest cycle lane width requirements of any country, but why is this? And how do countries all decide on how wide their cycle lanes should be? I take a look into the cycle lane width of many different countries as well as these topics in the rest of the article.\nHow wide are cycle lanes?\nCycle lanes around the world are required to meet different standards depending on the country or state in which they are located. If you take a look at the table below you can see a summary of the minimum cycle lane width in each of the most common cycling countries around the world.\n|Country||Cycle Lane Width (Meters)||Cycle Lane Width (Feet)|\n|England (UK)||1.5m||5 feet|\n|The Netherlands||2.0m||6 feet 6 inches|\n|USA (General)||1.2m||4 feet|\n|USA (New York)||2.0m||6 feet 6 inches|\n|Norway||2.5m (Bidirectional)||8 feet (Bidirectional)|\n|New Zealand||2.4m (Bidirectional)||8 feet (Bidirectional)|\n|Ireland||2.0m||6 feet 6 inches|\n|Japan||2.4 (Bidirectional)||8 feet (Bidirectional)|\n|Finland||2.5m (Bidirectional)||8 feet (Bidirectional)|\n|Hong Kong||1.5m||5 feet|\n|United Arab Emirates||2.2m||7 feet|\n|Brazil||1.7m||5 feet 6 inches|\n|Denmark||2.5m (Bidirectional)||8 feet (Bidirectional)|\nIf you notice that any obvious countries are missing from this list (for example Spain, a very popular country for cycling), that is because these countries do not have clear regulations or suggestions on the size of their cycle lanes.\nSo if all countries use the same bikes, why do all these countries have different size cycle lanes? The answer becomes clearer when you realize how countries calculate how large they think their cycle lanes should be in the first place.\nHow do countries decide on the width of their bike lanes?\nLet’s take the most famous bike riding country in the world, the Netherlands as an example.\nInitially, the town planners designing the cycle paths have to calculate the width of a bike, and more importantly, the widest a bike could reasonably be. In the Netherlands, this is set as 0.75m.\nHowever, obviously, you can’t have a cycle lane that is the same width as the bike or it would not be able to cycle, so a buffer is added to allow movement from side to side as the bike is ridden. In the Netherlands, this is set as 0.25m.\nSo now we have come to the value of 1.0m for a cycle path while the bike is being ridden. However, the cycle paths in the Netherlands are suggested to be 2.0m minimum. So where does this extra meter come from?\nFirst of all, you need to add on some extra space for obstacles that might be on the path (for example drains, curbs, tree roots, etc). Extra space is required on the path to allow riders to swerve and avoid these.\nOn top of this, you need to allow some extra room to let cyclists ride beside each other. This is important to allow a parent to cycle next to their child or allow cyclists to overtake one another on the cycle lane.\n|Factor||Required Space (meters)|\n|Movement while riding||0.25m|\n|Extra space to avoid debris or overtake||1.0m|\nAs you can see, the size of a bike lane quickly adds up. But this isn’t even the end of the story. Many countries will adjust the size of cycle lanes if more cyclists are using them. For example, In the Netherlands, a cycle path with more than 150 users per hour is suggested to be 2.5m, rather than the baseline of 2m.\nSo why do different countries have different cycle lane widths?\nThe difference in cycle lane width across the world comes from the different values that each country attributes to each of these categories.\nFor example, a country such as Italy is likely to have allocated less space for bikes to overtake one another or to avoid debris.\nIf you consider that the average road size in New York is 3.7m compared to 2.75m in Italy. It is easy to understand why they would not want to be allocating as much space to a bike lane as they do in New York.\nWhich country has the widest bike lanes?\nThe largest regulated cycle lanes in the world are based in Norway, Finland, and Denmark. However, this answer is a bit disingenuous as these cycle lanes are all bidirectional. This means that they are designed for 2 bikes to be cycling past each other in opposite directions and therefore, only half of this allocated space is given to each cyclist.\nWhen you look at the areas with the largest one-directional cycle lanes, the winners are New York, Ireland, and the Netherlands. All of these countries suggest a minimum cycle lane size of 2m (6 feet 6 inches) wide.\nWhich country has the narrowest bike lanes?\nThe countries with the narrowest suggested bike lane width were the USA and Italy, with a recommended bike lane width of 1.2m as a minimum.\nHowever, this again needs some clarification as these minimum cycle lane sizes were (in both cases) only allowed in to be used in certain situations such as on rural roads or locations where there was no curb next to the cycle lane itself (allowing cyclists to also use part of the pedestrian pathway if the road became overused).\nHow wide is a two-way cycle lane?\nTwo-way cycle lanes have fewer regulations on them as they are used less frequently. When you look at the table above, you can see that the few countries that did specific sizes for two-way or bidirectional cycle lanes suggested that they should be between 2.4m and 2.5m depending on the country in question.\nThs increased size is actually allocating far less per person, however, it is assumed that riders can overtake one another when there is a gap in the “bike traffic” coming from the other direction. Consider it like trying to overtake in a car.\nAre wider cycle lanes better?\nCycle lanes have been shown to be beneficial in almost all urban environments. Not only are these effects seen by cyclists, but they have also been shown in studies to have a positive economic impact on the local community when they are put in place. But are wider cycle lanes better?\nLarger cycle lanes have been shown to increase biker confidence, especially on roads where there is a lot of daily traffic, where speeds are above 25 mph, or on streets with a large number of trucks and lorries.\nOn top of this, wider cycle lanes can also reduce the rate of accidents between bike riders, helping to give more leeway in case a cyclist “misjudged” the gap between riders while overtaking. It also helps car drivers to treat cyclists more predictably as there is less chance of them leaving the cycle lane to join the road.\nFinally, the wider a cycle lane is, the more of a psychological effect this has on car drivers. Reminding them of cyclists’ right to also use the street, and thus may be linked to more considerate driving practices.\nAre there any other requirements for bike lanes?\nWhat happens when a bike lane cannot fit this minimum width?\nWhat happens if a road needs a bike lane but you cannot fit one of the required size on the road without impeding traffic?\nSome countries advise that when the minimum cycle lane width cannot be met, you might instead use an unmarked lane. This involves making no physical changes to the road itself but simply marking off an area of the road for cyclists to use.\nWhile this offers no actual changes in the area given to cyclists, the marked-out section has been shown to make cyclists feel more comfortable when cycling.\nWhat are the requirements for cycle lane surface quality?\nSo apart from clear recommendations on their width, what other requirements do bike lanes have to meet?\nThe main other area of regulation for cycle lanes relates to the type of material the cycle path is made from. Bike lanes that are in contact with a road are required to meet the same tarmac standards as the roads themselves.\nThis is to allow more flexibility in any future changes to the design of the road itself, for example allowing the cycle lane to be converted back to a road if necessary.\nIt also allows bike lanes to be used by emergency vehicles, and delivery trucks or to allow them to be used as a breakdown area.\nOverall, the size of a bike lane will be very different depending on which country you are cycling in, where in that country you are cycling and whether or not the cycle lane you are riding on is designed for single file bike traffic or is bidirectional.", "domain": "geography"}

In combination with the many different kits, this will expand the game experience with even more tactics and strategic moves. In addition to the expansion of the biomes, the update also includes other adjustments, which we would like to briefly explain to you below:\nThe biomes were adjusted as follows:New biomes:\nIce Plains Spikes\nMesa Plateau F\nBiomes that continue to exist::\nExtreme Hills Edge\nChanges to the World Generator\nThe join signs in the main lobby used to show the biome that is located directly below the spawn platform on the map. In the past, this often led to confusion, because the biome displayed was sometimes only a few chunks in size and the rest of the map was generated with a different (sometimes completely opposite) biome.\nThis problem should be solved with the changes made in this update. The world generator has been adjusted so that the biome displayed on the join signs now appears on the map with a much higher probability and with a larger area. As a result, the information on the join signs should now be more reliable and the tactical selection of a kit for an appropriate biome should be rewarded more.\nThe \"main biome\", which is displayed on the join signs, will also be surrounded by thematically matching biomes in the future. This possibility was created by so-called biome categories. These determine which \"secondary biomes\" may border the \"main biome\". By preselecting biomes, the playability of biomes that are unfavorable in terms of resources, such as the ice plains spikes, is also ensured.\nWe hope you like the changes and have fun trying them out! Any feedback on the new biomes is very welcome!\nFinally, we would like to thank Laubfrosch7\nfor implementing this update! Another thanks goes to multiduude\n, who designed the image for the news text.\nWith kind regards\nYour GommeHD.net Team", "domain": "geography"}

I was not disappointed.\nYour first impression of Obi is his resemblance to a younger John Muir. He’s boldly bearded, intense and educated, but his love of the outdoors and his sensitivity as a poet and artist soon shine through.\nObi was in Borrego as part of his book signing tour, and I was lucky enough to spend some time visiting.\nHe calls his book a love story, and the beauty of the hand-painted watercolor illustrations certainly demonstrate that. So does the volume of his work that includes over 500 pages.\nObi was born and raised in the Oakland area, and grew up wandering in the beauty of Mount Diablo where he began mapping and recording what he discovered. He considers himself a different kind of cartographer. As an adult, he has explored the state he calls home and, “hiked, camped, sweated, slept, dreamed and continue to adventure in all of these places.”\n“California is the land where I was born and where, having spent a happy life walking through its forests and sleeping out under it stars, I hope to someday die, far off trail under some unnamed sequoia,” he writes.\nHis book is not intended to be read in a single sitting, but rather “each map is a puzzle that, unlocked, reveals something specific, unique and beautifully integral about each place,” he writes. He calls his book a manual of geographic literacy, with both a scientific agenda and an artistic one.\n“One is not political, and one is,” Obi said. The book is composed of 10 chapters dealing with the trails, water, mountains, fire and forests, weather, deserts, parks and wildlife of California. It is also beautifully illustrated and well written through the eyes of a sensitive heart and poetic perspective.\nIn chapter six: Of Life, Death and The Desert, Obi not only includes his illustrated maps, but paintings of birds, mammals, reptiles and spiders that live here. Readers will gain empirical knowledge about the biology and geology of a region, but also Obi’s story of his connection to California outdoors.\nTo someone who sees California’s outdoors as more than just a challenge, this is their book. It deals more with the spirit and inner discovery that comes from spending time and learning about the wild beauty of the state.\nAs Obi says, “This is not a collection of war stories. It is a catalog of an eternal face, a book written across the whole realm of California itself.”\nHe says it best in his introduction.\n“In this book, I am participating in the wild reimagining of the place, past the scars inflicted over the past two hundred years and revealing a story about what has always been here and what will remain long after our residency is through.\n“The California Field Atlas” is available from online sources or Heyday. Cost is $45.\nFall has arrived and that means it’s tarantula breeding season. So what, you ask? It means that you are quite likely to encounter these big, hairy spiders while hiking the trails in our inland valleys.\nYou may not be fond of spiders, but tarantulas are not dangerous, and very reluctant to bite, even when handled. There is no need to kill them if you are not a big fan. Just walk on by.\nFrom now into October, the larger male tarantulas will emerge from their underground holes to look for females. It’s a challenging task that may cost him his life. The smaller, and more reclusive females will often try to kill and eat the male after mating is complete.\nSo, love is in the air along the trails of North County, and hikers along lagoon trails, around Lake Hodges, Elfin Forest trails and Escondido’s Daley Ranch are likely to spot at least a few, and sometimes dozens of the spiders just before dark.\nEmail email@example.com or visit erniesoutdoors.blogspot.com.\nObi Kaufmann, author of “California Field Atlas.”", "domain": "geography"}

To survey a site quickly and accurately we are making extensive use of DGPS technology to carry out all the positional tasks of the survey.\nAssociate Tony Piepjohn of Coast Spatial GIS & Mapping Specialists has been using GPS technology in resource surveying since 1994 for many different purposes and clients. All GPS related work is carried out to the BC Resource Inventory Committee (RIC) standards for GPS surveys. RIC standards are what all provincial agencies use to ensure any GPS related work is carried out with suitable methods and equipment. Mr. Piepjohn has the RIC certification Level 4 (good for all aspects of GPS from field work, processing, mapping, and survey design) and can ensure GPS activities are being carried out properly.\nWith accurate site details it is possible to begin designing an efficient and robust anchoring system or installation. Through the use of GIS and CAD we develop the complete model for the system so that every part of a system is located, engineered, and specified appropriately. The computer model is important in that you can quickly build a system to generate accurate material and cost schedules, working drawings, fully 3D models to view, evaluate, and change parts of the system.\nThis GIS/CAD component also ensures that license holders put their best foot forward with regulatory agencies in that installations are designed and built using proper and defensible techniques. Very important is that these GIS/CAD models will serve as the database for future compliance monitoring of the system and site in an environmental context. Mooring Systems designed to date for depths to 655metres.\nStructural and Condition Surveys\nUnderwater surveys, including ultrasound thickness scanning and video by ROV or divers, can be undertaken for structural integrity and condition analysis of floating and fixed structures.\nProject Management and Installations\nOcean Dynamics Canada Ltd. can contract to manage the installation and/or mooring of floating and fixed structures, hydro and communications cable installations.

The terrestrial environment is represented by sand banks, droughty areas in which grow a flora and fauna specific for the East - European steppes with Mediterranean influences.\nBetween these two environments (aquatic and terrestrial) it is interposed the swampy easily flooded area, bearer of a flora and fauna with possibility of alternative adaptation (water, land), depending on the hydrological conditions, seasonal and yearly. The area represents an important shelter for nesting and nourishment for about 300 species of birds. Especially during fall migration, the area becomes an impressing concentration of ornitofauna and, especially, of the winter guests.\nGrindul Lupilor is the sanctuary of some natural curiosities which confer it, in certain places, the aspect of a real tropical jungle. The underground water is near surface, fact which favours the formation of a humid soil. The forests are disposed in narrow strips called \"hasmacuri\" (in Turkish language).\nAdvanced bulwark of Greek culture and civilization and furthermore of Latin culture, Dobrudja represents - through its antique monuments - a museum itself, and the micro-region Grindul Lupilor (Wolves Sand Bank), represents perhaps, the most fabulous and attractive window of this museum, the result of one-century researches of Romanian archaeologists.\nHere, on the shore of Sinoe Lake, there lays Histria citadel, the first Greek colony on the Western shore of Pontus Euxinus and the oldest city on the territory of our country. As a toponym, Histria derives from Istros, the Greek name of Danube river, the city being located at '500 stadia far from the sacred spring of Istros', upon the notices of antique historian and geographer Strabon, on the sea shore. Set up in the middle of VIIth century b. Chr. by the colonists from Milet, Histria had a continuous development from the Greek period until the end of Roman period (beginning of VIIth century a. Chr.), justified by the favorable conditions of fishing, agricultural land and easy ways of communication with inland, the city being for a long time the most important economic and cultural center of our region\nThe tourist visiting Grindul Lupilor (Wolves Sand Bank) pension must know that at only 10 km South from Sinoe village, can be visited the beautiful and impressive citadel and the modern museum of Histria, in which he will discover the charm and grace of an era long gone. Here there can be seen the material proofs of existence of human communities in the area since paleolithic (35000-10000 b.Chr.). There can be admired also in the glass cases of the museum tools and ceramic receptacles from Aeneolithic and Bronze eras, discovered on the territory of current villages Sinoe, Mihai Viteazu, Cheia, Istria-Sat, Gura Dobrogei, Cogealac, Corbu.\nUpon the end of Bronze Era and in the first Iron Era (XIIth - Vth centuries b.Chr.) in Dobrudja, so also in the region of Sinoe lagoon, there is developed a characteristic culture, firstly Thracian and then Getic, autochthonous, which will interact with the Greek colonists in the VIIth century b. Chr. Histria will be raised in the middle of native Thracian-Getic population, as a colony having tight commercial, cultural and religious relationship with the Southern world, as proved by the ceramic receptacles manufactured in Milet, Atena, Rhodos and Corinth, and discovered here. The temples and inscriptions dedicated to Zeus, Afrodita, the Muses, Dionissos or to Apollo are proofs of rich spiritual lives of the Histrians.\nStarting with Ist century a.Chr. Histria will pass through a new period of development, the nowadays territory of Dobrudja being integrated into the Roman State. The thermal baths, the precincts and most of the buildings that can be admired nowadays in the citadel pertain to this period. An epigraphic document issued by the governor Laberius Maximus, in year 100 a.Chr., was mentioning the borders and the rights of the citadel - the center of the Histrian economic life consisted in cultivation of agricultural land and in fishing.\nInside the territory controlled by the citadel there was also vicus Quintionis, a village developed on the property of a Roman colonist, Quintio, located on the territory of present village of Sinoe. The inhabitants of the antique village from Sinoe were \"veterani et cives Romani et Bessi consistentes\", as reminded by an inscription from IInd century a.Chr., meaning veterans and Roman citizens together with bessi, Thracian population brought by the Roman state from the Balkans. The heads of the village were two magisters, chosen by the inhabitants from the wealthy persons. The inscriptions are presenting the names of some mayors as: Tiberius Saturninus and Bizienis, from year 144 a.Chr., Aelius Bellicus and Mucaporus Ditugenti from year 167 a.Chr., Iulius Florus and Derzenus Bitti from year 177 a.Chr. a.s.o.. There can be observed the good fellowship and the yearly character of the mayor position (magister vici), one being elected from the veterans and roman citizens and the other one from Thracian community.\nFor the financial part of antique city from Sinoe, the mayors were assisted by a quaestor, chosen by alternation, one year from the Romans and one year from bessi. For instance, in year 167 a. Chr., quaestor was Claudius Ianuarius, and in year 175 a.Chr. a Thracian Dotus Zinebti.\nIn vicus Quintionis there was an auditorium - hall of audience and trial - mentioned in an inscription from the times of emperor Antoninus Pius.\nThe aerial photographs showed the existence of some roads that were connecting the village to Histria city and to the settlements from Fantanele, Mihai Viteazu or Istria. Furthermore, like in the case of other rural cities from Roman epoque, the village from Sinoe was provided with water brought through aqueduct.\nThe Roman settlement from nowadays territory of Sinoe ceased its existence in the same time with Histria citadel, sometimes at the beginning of VIIth a.Chr., as proven by a coin from Heraclius (613-614 a.Chr.), once with desertion of entire Dobrudjan territory by the Roman army.\nThe ones going to Grindul Lupilor (Wolves Sand Bank) will be able to observe nowadays the beauty of antique world inside Histria Museum and to watch piously the funerary piles of the antique people, inhabitants of these lands, all integrated in the wild landscape from the lagoon.\nLivia Buzoianu, Greek civilization in the Western-Pontic area and its impact on the autochthonous world (VIIth-IVth centuries a.Chr.), Ovidius University Press, Constantza, 2001.\nMaria Barbulescu, Rural life in Roman Dobrudja (Ist-IIIrd centuries a.Chr.), The Museum of National History and Archaeology Constantza, Constantza, 2001.

I gently rubbed my fingers on the outside of all the bags and picked the one with the smallest bat. I delicately removed the bat, holding it with just the tips of my first three fingers. This was no ordinary bat. Its head was flat as if slammed with a shoe! It had suction pads on its thumb and toes to help it cling and sleep inside thin, hollow bamboo culms. The bat in my hand was an evolutionary marvel. The Lesser Bamboo Bat (Tylonycteris pachypus) marked the beginning of a successful night. After it eight other species flew into our nets in quick succession. Borneo was beginning to justify itself as a naturalist’s dream destination.\nIn August 2015, I was in Sarawak to attend the 3rd Southeast Asian Bat Conference organized by Universiti Malaysia (UNIMAS), Sarawak and Southeast Asian Bat Conservation Research Unit (SEABCRU). After four intense days of talks, discussions and workshops with the most renowned bat biologists of the world, we were off to a bat lover’s ultimate pilgrimage – Gunung Mulu National Park.\nSoutheast Asia is one the hottest biodiversity hotspots in the world and Borneo – the third largest island in the world – is the jewel in its crown. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) estimates that more than 220 species of mammals, 420 species of birds, 200 reptiles and amphibians and close to 400 species of fish are found in Borneo. A part of this staggering diversity comprises iconic, threatened species like Bornean Orangutan, Bornean Pygmy Elephant, Proboscis Monkey and Hose’s Palm Civet which are found nowhere else on earth. Eight species of hornbills occur here and on their account, the state of Sarawak in Malayasian Borneo derives its apt title – Bumi Kenyalang – The Land of the Hornbills. However, unbeknown to many, the major contributors to the mammalian diversity of this incredible island are bats. With roughly 90 species, bats make up about 40% of all the mammals found in Borneo. Once you set foot on Gunung Mulu National Park, you know why.\nGunung Mulu National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site is the most spectacular landscape that I have seen. 20 million years ago, this stunning forest was an underwater mountain. Five million years ago, tectonic activity brought the mountain above water and what one sees today is lush-green rainforest criss-crossed by rain-fed rivers through which emerge jagged limestone mountains that give Mulu its unique pre-historic ambience. When rainwater touches upon limestone it dissolves the rock to form caves. On account of the undulating limestone hills and the heavy rainfall that Mulu receives, it has countless cave systems. Such is the vastness of this pristine and rugged limestone forest that it took 15 months and 115 scientists of the Royal Geographic Society, UK to map its topography in 1977-78!\nWe arrived in Mulu in the afternoon on 18 August 2015. Our plan was to assist the team of student-researchers from UNIMAS in their study on bats of Mulu. On our arrival, Ellen McArthur, a masters’ student who was working on the bats of Mulu greeted us with the delightful news that she had found something special for us during her routine morning reconnaissance. I whiled away my time watching birds and a hungry Prevost’s Squirrel gorging on leaves at the canopy until it was time to go bat hunting with Ellen. Ellen led us to the nature trail and after barely walking a kilometer she stopped abruptly in front of a wild turmeric plant. Neatly hidden inside a young, rolled-up leaf of the turmeric was a tiny bat. It was a bat high up on my wishlist – the Hardwicke’s Woolly Bat (Kerivoula hardwickii). This is a diminutive bat, hardly weighing 3-4 g. Its body is densely covered with sooty-black woolly hair. What makes this bat sui generis is its recently-discovered symbiotic association with a carnivorous pitcher plant. In the nutrient-poor peat swamp forests of Borneo, the pitcher plant Nepenthes hemesleyana has evolved to attract these bats into its pitcher. However, the plant does not eat the bat; it provides lodging and the bat pays its rent by feeding the plant with its nitrogen-rich droppings! Hardwicke’s Woolly Bats are also the supreme sopranos of the animal world. Their ultrasonic calls start at 250 kHz – that’s 12 times higher than what we can hear!\nThe following evening I had a date with a glorious phenomenon in nature; one that I had, hitherto, only seen on television. At 3.30 pm, a crowd assembled at the ‘Bat Observatory’ outside Deer Cave. Deer Cave—the largest cave chamber in the world—is home to an estimated three million Wrinkle-lipped Bats (Chaerephon plicatus). As dusk approached, the anticipation was building up at the observatory. I saw a handsome Bat Hawk perched on a vantage point, its eyes fixed at the cave. Suddenly there was a cheer from the audience; the bats had begun to emerge en masse. One after the other, groups of bats flew out of the cave in perfect synchrony like a flock of starlings. Each group formed a different pattern in the sky – ribbons, waves, ‘S’ and even a moustache! It was time for the Bat Hawk to get active and it launched its first successful strike in the middle of the bat group. At the mouth of the cave, I also briefly saw a large eagle, probably a Wallace’s Hawk Eagle trying to intercept emerging bats. I had watched this phenomenon in the television many years ago (even before I got interested in bats) but to see the drama unfold before my eyes was a dream-come-true.\nOn our last night in Mulu we beefed up our efforts to catch bats. A mistnet (a thin nylon net used to catch birds and bats for research) was spread on a bridge over a river. An ingenious trap called ‘harp trap’ was set up at a forest trail. This trap has metal frames with fine plastic strings stretched to full tension and placed in parallel rows as in a harp (hence the name). The frame sits on four legs and a collection bag is placed at its base to allow a safe landing for bats that hit the strings. The bats are then picked up from the bag to be identified. Harp traps are particularly effective for strict forest-dwelling bats that often detect mistnets through their ultrasound. One of us was also deployed with a hand-held hoop net to catch bats flying in the open air. Ours was a truly global bat trapping team with representation from 9 countries! We caught a lot of interesting species that night. Our mistnets were full of Wrinkle-lipped Bats that love feeding over wide rivers. They are the most gentle and docile of all bats that I have handled. A not-so-docile bat was the one caught in the hoop net by my Hungarian friend, Tamas Görföl – a Diadem’s Leaf-nosed Bat (Hipposideros diadema). This is a large bat that typically hawks insects in forest clearings. Its body is a rich beige or orange with characteristic white patches on the flanks. At the harp trap we caught the Cantor’s (H. galeritus) and Fawn Leaf-nosed Bats (H. cervinus) and my favourite, the Large-eared Horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus philippinensis). This is a species of dense forests. It has large leaf-shaped ears and a peculiar nose that emerges like a unicorn’s horn. Back at the base, another team had caught a pretty Spotted-winged Fruit Bat (Balionycteris maculata) – a small and timid black bat with chicken pox-like spots on its wings. The best, however, was saved for the last, the miniscule Least Woolly Bat (Kerivoula minuta) which is so tiny that when Tigga Kingston—a leading bat biologist—passed it on to me, she said, “Be careful, you’ll have to hold it like a grain of salt!” A strict inhabitant of primary forests, habitat destruction, unfortunately, has put the Least Woolly Bat in the threatened category.\nOn the flight back to Kuching, I was reflecting on the immensely thrilling and educative days spent in Mulu. My thoughts were distracted by the sight of a bald patch in the middle of verdant rainforest. There are several threats that bats face globally. Deforestation impacts forest-dwelling bats while granite mining affects cave-roosting species. Recent studies claim that windmills kill more bats annually than anything else and more research is likely to come up with grimmer results. Our own personal attitudes that stem from superstitious beliefs and myths do not allow us to appreciate the crucial role that bats play in the ecosystem. In Southeast Asia, hunting and destruction of vast swathes of prime rainforest are the single biggest threat to bats. In recent years, ever-increasing logging and oil palm plantations have ravaged the magnificent Southeast Asian rainforests with catastrophic impacts on Orangutans, elephants, bats and even its indigenous tribes. It would be mankind’s greatest disaster if a 140 million year old rainforest were to be imperiled by our lifestyle choices and political negligence.\nNote: An edited version of this article was published in Sanctuary Asia in August 2017.", "domain": "geography"}

It may be a change in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of weather around the average conditions (i.e., more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors that include oceanic processes (such as oceanic circulation), variations in solar radiationreceived by Earth, plate tectonics and volcanic eruptions, and human-induced alterations of the natural world; these latter effects are currently causingglobal warming, and \"climate change\" is often used to describe human-specific impacts.\nScientists actively work to understand past and future climate by using observations and theoretical models. Borehole temperature profiles, ice cores, floral and faunal records, glacial and periglacial processes, stable isotope and other sediment analyses, and sea level records serve to provide a climate record that spans the geologic past. More recent data are provided by the instrumental record. Physically based general circulation modelsare often used in theoretical approaches to match past climate data, make future projections, and link causes and effects in climate change.\nThe most general definition of climate change is a change in the statistical properties of the climate system when considered over long periods of time, regardless of cause. Accordingly, fluctuations over periods shorter than a few decades, such as El Niño, do not represent climate change.\nThe term sometimes is used to refer specifically to climate change caused by human activity, as opposed to changes in climate that may have resulted as part of Earth's natural processes. In this sense, especially in the context of environmental policy, the term climate change has become synonymous with anthropogenic global warming. Within scientific journals, global warmingrefers to surface temperature increases while climate change includes global warming and everything else that increasing greenhouse gas levels will affect.\nOn the broadest scale, the rate at which energy is received from the sun and the rate at which it is lost to space determine the equilibrium temperature and climate of Earth. This energy is distributed around the globe by winds, ocean currents, and other mechanisms to affect the climates of different regions.\nFactors that can shape climate are called climate forcings or \"forcing mechanisms\". These include processes such as variations in solar radiation, variations in the Earth's orbit, mountain-building and continental drift and changes in greenhouse gas concentrations. There are a variety of climate change feedbacks that can either amplify or diminish the initial forcing. Some parts of the climate system, such as the oceans and ice caps, respond slowly in reaction to climate forcings, while others respond more quickly.\nForcing mechanisms can be either \"internal\" or \"external\". Internal forcing mechanisms are natural processes within the climate system itself (e.g., the thermohaline circulation). External forcing mechanisms can be either natural (e.g., changes in solar output) or anthropogenic (e.g., increased emissions of greenhouse gases).\nWhether the initial forcing mechanism is internal or external, the response of the climate system might be fast (e.g., a sudden cooling due to airborne volcanic ash reflecting sunlight), slow (e.g.thermal expansion of warming ocean water), or a combination (e.g., sudden loss of albedo in the arctic ocean as sea ice melts, followed by more gradual thermal expansion of the water). Therefore, the climate system can respond abruptly, but the full response to forcing mechanisms might not be fully developed for centuries or even longer.", "domain": "geography"}

The rolling hills of wheat, the lush vineyards, the Medieval and Renaissance era walled cities…this central-northern state in Italy has had a pull on romantics worldwide for decades that is showing no signs of stopping. I fell in love with Tuscany in 2015, when my best friend and I were galivanting around Europe post-college. First, Siena wooed us with her perfect, winding Medieval streets and lively Piazza il Campo, then Prato called us to stay a while after the tourist madness of Florence. Now, in 2022, I am back and just as smitten. This time around we have come with family, so it’s a little less laissez-faire than seven years ago, but just as beautiful. If you are keen to step back in time to a world of siestas, macchiatos, wine, and so, so much art, then you must come to Tuscany; however, there are a few things that you should know before you go. Take it from me, these few tips will make your trip more ‘under the Tuscan sun’ and less, getting eaten alive by mosquitos in a 13th century convent.\nGet off the beaten path – remember, there is more to Tuscany than Florence\nOkay, so not to bag on Florence, but it is a very touristy city. When I was there in 2015 it was very hard to find affordable and tasty food, because everything was targeted at international tourists. Cost of accommodation sky rockets as well and there are lines for everything. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the art of that famous city (David is one sexy statue), but there are simply too many tourists in Florence for it to retain its Tuscan magic. If you are an art historian, definitely go to Florence, but for those who’s ideal trip consists of sitting in a piazza sipping a macchiato and listening to the lovely lilt of Italian conversations that you can’t understand, then Lucca or Prato might be more your style. Prato is very close to Florence (about 20 minutes by train), but a world away in atmosphere. It is a tiny town with little to no sightseeing, but ample grappa, cured meats, and espresso to entertain anyone craving ‘il dolce far niente’ – the sweetness of doing nothing.\nLucca strikes a bit more of a balance between sightseeing options and quiet ambiance, and is a town I would heartily recommend to almost anyone. It is big enough to have sightseeing options, but small enough to walk around easily and quiet enough to find a piazza to yourself for your summer lunch of melon and prosciutto, even in the height of the tourist season. Lucca’s walls are its real treasure though – massive Renaissance style walls that encircle the entire old town with a lovely circular park, complete with a wide tree lined path and plenty of benches for taking in the views. Lucca’s walls were added to in the 16th century over a worry that Florence would invade and then became the perfect promenade you see today in the 19th century post-Italian unification (nerd note – you can tell the difference between the Medieval walls of a place like Siena from Renaissance era ones by their size, the Medieval ones were rather thin as they did not need to repel significant cannon blasts).\nCheck the weather – summer can be quite warm if you aren’t used to the heat\nTuscany can get down right hot in summer (between the months of June and August), so plan your accommodation accordingly. Temperatures are routinely over 30 C/86 F during the day and have even climbed to 37 C/97 F since we’ve been here. Tuscany is also humid mostly year round (though it is the lowest in summer, but let’s be honest, not by much) so consider this when looking at temperatures. It averages about 60% humidity, which isn’t horrible for those coming from humid climates (Tuscany humidity has nothing on Malaysia), but it can be a real struggle for those used to dry heat. Also, note that most of Europe does not have screens on their windows so it can be hard to deal with the heat just by opening windows, especially in the countryside where there are more insects, such as the ever annoying mosquitos that just love to take the invitation of an open window to feast on your blood. If you are heat sensitive at all I would strongly suggest only booking accommodation that has air conditioning. Kane and I can deal without it, but we are used to the heat in the north of Australia, if you are coming from some place cold, beware.\nRent a car if you want to stay in a villa in Tuscany\nAh the romance of opening your personal villa’s window and breathing in that fresh country air…until a wasp flies into your face sending you running around the very old, very rustic villa flapping your hands like a deranged bat. Villas in Tuscany are beautiful. They are alluring. But, and this is the key, villas are – mostly – very old buildings rather a long way into the countryside. Italian buses are unreliable at best and your only option to get into town for supplies or just an afternoon macchiato will be taxis, which are not cheap. So, I’d suggest that, unless you are renting a car, staying within walking distance of the city centre of these smaller towns is really the best option.\nUse the Trainline App for less stressful travel\nTrains are the lifeblood of the European continent and Italy is no exception. Most of your intra-country travel will be on trains as the distances are just too small for flights so you need to figure out how to navigate this system with relative ease. Buying tickets at the train station can be exceptionally slow, not due to lines (most of the time), but due to the painfully lethargic ticket machines that really, really like to contemplate every change of screen for at least a minute or so before moving on to the sixth screen you need to click through to buy your ticket. We have missed trains due to these machines and I would highly recommend that, for any larger journey than say moving between the towns of the Cinque Terre, you buy your tickets in advance using the Trainline app. It does not cost more, everything is translatable to English, and you can even track your trains on the app to help you know when to get off and about any delays that are occurring (delays are common in our experience).\nDon’t tip all the time, but do check for a coperto\nAs an American living in Australia, I have come to love the fact that tipping is not customary once you get far enough away from the USA. In countries where staff get paid well there is no need for the customer to tip in any sort of obligatory way (in the USA if you don’t at least tip 10-15% your waiter will consider you the scum of the earth). Italy falls somewhere between Australia (almost never tip) and America (always tip) in the tipping customs. We’ve had this confirmed by local friends of ours who say that, one, you definitely do not need to tip all the time, as most restaurants will charge a coperto (cover charge) anyway, and two, that if you do get really, really good service and want to tip that you must give it directly to the person you want to tip, otherwise it just goes back to the restaurant owner. Even in the second case, where you’ve had really good service 10% is plenty to tip in these instances. Also, one last note on the coperto – sometimes the menu will say in fine print how much it will be, other times you only learn how much the coperto is once you get the bill, but it varies from one euro per person in smaller establishments to a few euros per person in a big city, tourist area. The coperto covers the bread they give you at the start of the meal, but that’s about it, still expect to pay for everything else, including water.\nShare dishes when eating out to get a balanced meal\nItalians seem to have a moral aversion to combining meat, carbs, and vegetables in the same dish. Chicken with pesto pasta and vegetables in one dish? It is impossible, and, quite possibly sacrilegious in Italy; okay I’m being a bit dramatic on this, but when you order a meat dish (often found in the secondi section), do not expect anything more than meat. The same goes for your pastas, which are found in the primi section, and any side dishes, found in the contorni section. Despite what you may have read online, most Italians do not order a primi, secondi, and contorni, it would just be way too much food. Instead, sharing dishes is very common here, so common that if two of you order the same dish they will often bring it in one big bowl to share. Kane and I have had no issues ordering a primi and a secondi to share between the two of us for our whole time in Italy, it’s pretty much the only way to get protein and pasta at the same time.\nGo to Siena, just not during Palio time, unless you love crowds\nOh Siena, the magical Medieval city that started my love affair with Tuscany. This is a beautiful town south of Florence that has so much going for it, from the stunning Duomo to the hilly cobblestones streets filled to the brim with enotecas (wine shops) and gelaterias. My favourite time of day in Siena is just after sunset, which is around 8:30 pm in summer, sitting in the Piazza il Campo and watching the swifts that live in the bell towers dance across the sky while locals and tourists alike relax on the brick Piazza like they are lounging at the beach. However, Siena is known around the world for something a bit more hair raising than dodging swift poop while snacking on your evening gelato – the Palio. The Palio is a famous horse race that has all the contradas dressed up in their best Medieval finery cheering their neighborhood’s horse to a hopeful victory after three mad laps around the Piazza with a jockey clinging on sans saddle.\nWhen I first traveled to Siena it was well outside of Palio time, and while there was a lot to learn about the contradas and their fiercely local spirits, it was still mostly a quiet, smaller town. Yes, there were tourists, but there were locals too and pretty much no waits for anything. This latest trip to Siena was a bit different though, as we went about a week and a half before the first run of the Palio (they run the race twice a year, once in early July and once in early August). Our first couple of nights in the city were the slow magic that I had remembered, but when the clock started ticking down to 8 days before Palio, 7 days before Palio, the city erupted. The first signs of the change where the contrada bands and flag throwers practising in the streets – when you hear those drums, follow the sound for an entertaining sneak peak of what is to come in the following week. Then, a week before the race they started packing tons and tons of dirt into the path around the Piazza il Campo and overnight it goes from a cobblestone path for meandering to a race track fit for a mad man. They even put mattresses up along the narrower sides to protect both the shop fronts and the race participants from the inventible falls that come with racing bareback. Finally, the crowds of tourists and locals alike descend on Siena in the week leading up to the Palio, making previously relaxed streets almost impassable in places. One final note, the Palio is very much for the locals, so if you choose to go, please be respectful of what this event means to them, it is the most important event of the year.\nWe considered staying to see the race, but after looking up how much it would cost to get any view that wasn’t crammed into the center of the Piazza for five hours with negative personal space, we decided it wasn’t for us. I’m not a fan of crowds on a good day and, for me, a huge part of the magic of Siena its leisurely pace – which changes completely come Palio. If you love pageantry, neighbourhood rivalries, and can stand serious crowds, then come to Siena during Palio time and tell me how it is, I’m keen to hear. If crowds, lines, and expensive everything isn’t your cup of tea, then do as we did and avoid the area for at least a week before Palio time.\nStay elsewhere and day trip to big tourist sites\nGiven it’s my second time in Tuscany and we were staying in Lucca, I thought it was high time that I see Pisa. Yes, I’d heard it before, the leaning tower of Pisa is mostly a glorified tour bus photo op, but I wanted to see it for myself. However, I didn’t want to waste a whole day on a disappointing destination without at least enjoying the journey so we hired e-bikes in Lucca and rode to Pisa. Our path wound along the Serchio River, through Tuscan farmland, and over some rather bumpy gravel/rocky roads (maybe get the mountain e-bike next time) and it was hands down the best way to see Pisa, because we got to spend a lovely day in the countryside, stop in at tourist mayhem, see the tower, then run away back to the countryside. It cost us 35 euro each for the day of e-bike hire and took us about 4 1/2 hours all up, you could do it on a normal bike for less money, but I would double the time needed to get there and back (it’s about a 50 km round trip and you need to budget time for getting lost). You don’t need to ride a bike to get to Pisa from Lucca, there is a train that is cheap and quick, but whatever you do, I would recommend making places like Pisa a day trip rather than a multi-day stay to avoid expensive accommodation, food, etc.\nLearn a little Italian, especially if you’re heading to smaller towns\nIn the big cities and main tourist attractions it’s a safe bet that most people will speak at least a little English, however, this bet gets significantly longer odds the further you go into the countryside of Tuscany. I know it can be hard to learn another language just for a trip, but a few buongiorno’s, grazie’s, and buonasera’s go a long way towards ingratiating yourself to the locals and it shows respect of their culture and language. The words we have used the most are as follows:\n- Buongiorno – good morning, use this until about 1/2 pm\n- Buonasera – good afternoon, safe to use anytime after 1 pm and you can use it well into the night\n- Buonanotte – good night. This is really only used for saying good bye at night, like if you are walking into your hotel room for the evening you can say buonanotte to the reception staff\n- Un tavolo per due, per favore – A table for two, please. Use this at restaurants and do not forget to say per favore, you will be rude if you don’t. Swap the number for however many people you have in your group (uno – 1, due – 2, tre – 3, quattro – 4, cinque – 5, sei – 6, sette – 7, otto – 8, nove – 9, dieci – 10)\n- Vorrei… – I would like… Use this for ordering and follow with what you would like, if you are struggling with pronunciation double up by pointing at what you want on the menu while you are trying to say it in Italian. They appreciate the effort, but sometimes our Anglo-pronunciations are atrocious and the pointing helps to avoid culinary confusion.\n- Mi scusi – Excuse me. Scusi is a very versatile Italian word and can help you, politely, get the attention of waitstaff, move around people in a crowd, or ask strangers for directions.\n- il conto, per favore – The bill, please. Unless you are eating at a real fast food type of place (like a pizza by the slice joint where you eat standing up), you will need to ask for the bill. Italian waitstaff consider it rude to bring you the bill without you asking first, so don’t just wait for them to bring it like you would in America, you need to ask. If you can’t speak to them because it’s too crowded, catching their eye and doing the universal air scribble, while mouthing ‘il conto, per favore’ mostly does the trick too.\nDon’t rush it, enjoy the pace of life in Tuscany\nTuscany, and Italy as a whole, is about ‘il dolce far niente’ so don’t rush your trip here. Spend at least three nights anywhere you stay so you aren’t constantly dealing with the stress of moving around and, if you have the vacation time, try to spend a good chunk of time in a single location (I would say a week) to really get a feel for the place and to unwind into the culture. I know this can be hard for Americans given the paltry amount of vacation days most people get, but even with say, only ten days to travel, you can manage to avoid the frantic rush-rush by limiting yourself to no more than three destinations (I would even say two would be better than three if you only have ten days, but I know the concept of slow travel can be hard for some to embrace).\nWhatever you do, enjoy your time in Tuscany, it is a beautiful area of the world that will always make my romantic soul sing – oh and you must enjoy the food and wine, but that is obvious to anyone traveling Italy. I strongly recommend Sangiovese (Brunello, Montepulcianos, Montalcinos, etc.) and focaccia (you will never look at bread the same way again).", "domain": "geography"}

Sometimes I try to take some nice picture that I feel like sharing with you on this website ;)\nThis website started to showcase the 50 pictures I had been blessed to exhibit in December 2013. I had travelled for 8 months around the world after the end of my studies and before the start of my doctoral program. Primarily triggered by the many comments and incitements of friends and family, I decided to do something with these pictures I shot from Japan to Antarctica. Not tolerating the thought of gaining anything from whatever I wanted to do (I had gained way too much through travelling), I decided to create a charity exhibition that would offer all the proceedings to the foundation Fior di Loto in Pushkar. I did not know such foundation before I visited them in my last weeks in India, but they impressed me with their seriousness and drive to make change happen. They now support more than 300 girls and their education, and I wanted in my own way contribute to such project. I called the exhibition \"A World for Lalita\". The name Lalita from the exhibition's title comes from a sweet girl I got to know at the foundation, and of whom I am still today the \"sponsor\". The idea was to show her the world in 50 pics, hence the name. The exhibition then came to be, and not only gave me the great opportunity to finally share my travels with many dear people, but also made it more meaningful.\nThe trip around the world was simply an incredible experience, difficult to put into words. It allowed me to expand my view to a world full of wonders, and to get closer to my inner \"me\" in a journey of self-discovery. It is only when you find yourself immersed in a completely different world and out of your comfort zone that you finally see your own true colours. I got my jaw dropping when visiting amazing places or standing in front of stunning landscapes, but it was eventually the kindness of the people and the smiles they shared with me that made that trip unique, and mine. If you would like to hear some stories about it, I am happy to invite you check out Spinning Around, the travel blog I wrote during my trips with tips and stories from my wanderings.\nToday I keep on updating the website through my blog and by adding the best shots to the photography section, which is aimed at supporting the cause of the Fior di Loto Foundation.

According to a recent FAO-UNCCD analysis, between USD 36 and 49 billion of investments are needed every year to achieve these goals. FLIF will be a marketplace for effective forest and landscape investment opportunities.\nHowever, investments in forests and landscapes are unevenly distributed worldwide. While most are made in Latin America, only 1% are in Africa. It is therefore critical to build fora and platforms to intensify interactions among project developers, business leaders and investors. FLIF offers a unique platform for exploring the potential of finance to enhance livelihoods, protect the environment and ensure food security benefits.\nFLIF targets project developers and business champions from Eastern Africa, in particular from Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia, as well as investors from all over the world who seek business opportunities in sustainable landscapes. It will showcase business opportunities in forests and landscapes, in particular through agroforestry and forestry value chains (wood and non-wood forest products) such as coffee, tea, timber, macadamia, silk, and cassava\nThe forum will host a wide-range of debates and discussions over the two days, including:\nBeyond plenary sessions, a booth exhibition and targeted side-events will facilitate further dynamic interactions between participants.", "domain": "geography"}

I began the journey to becoming a Q Grader.\nAs many may already know, the journey is long and arduous, not so much on the physical movement for most, but more the difficulty in the mental and emotional upheaval in getting this tough and coveted international qualification that literally sets you apart both as an individual as well as a professional in the coffee world. Well for some of us, it was a mixture of all. To top it up, DRC is a French speaking nation, so we needed to overcome the challenge of the language barrier, as the course was being delivered in English. Luckily we also speak Swahili and Kenya has it as a national language.\nWe were informed about the Q Grader course to be held in Nairobi Kenya, about 10 days to the event. Previously we had had very few trainers coming from all over the world to teach us about coffee, a commodity that DRC is so rich in, in addition to the other natural endowments of minerals and other resources. But as many know, this can be a blessing as well as a curse. DRC has been experiencing civil strive for several years which has made it difficult to access quality services in all sectors, not excluding my sector, coffee. The Q Grader course was something I had heard about, but it looked like an unachievable dream, until we got the call from Eastern Congo Initiative.\n5 of us were selected to travel to Kenya to try our hand at this course. Of the 5 of us that were selected, only 3 of us eventually managed to get logistically organized and mobilized to get to Nairobi in time. My colleague Ismael from a place known as Kinyezire, myself from a place known as Minova and Linda from Bukavu.\nWe all journeyed by almost all means of transport known to man. I met with my colleague Ismael at a place called Minova. We got on a motor bike for 54 kilometres and rode for approximately 2 hours. The roads are inaccessible hence the only way to maneuver is by motor bike. Getting to Goma on the border of DRC and Rwanda, we had to take another bike together to take us over to Gisenyi, a border with the neighbouring country Rwanda. This took us 30 minutes and the tedious immigration process but afterwards we got on a long distance bus to Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda. The bus ride was smooth, but due to the hilly nature of Rwanda, the land of 1,000 hills, it is quite winded and can stir up everything you have eaten and digested in previous days. We arrived in Kigali in the evening and had to spend the night at a hotel / lodge. The following day we made our way to the Kigali International Airport and took the flight to Nairobi which took us 1 and a quarter hours.\nOn arrival Nairobi, we hoped to be received by the hotel, but unfortunately our time of arrival had not been communicated. We called a fellow countryman based in Nairobi and he was courteous enough to call the number on the emails which happened to be of our soon to be Instructor, Ms. Mbula Musau. He managed to talk to her and informed her that we had proceeded to the hotel mentioned in the communication. We settled at the hotel and our instructor made arrangements to ensure our facilitated stay and movement to and from the training venue.\nThe next 6 days were overwhelming to say the least. However the format and instruction was enabling. By the end of the 3rd day we felt ready to take on the 20 exams required to get the qualification. One after another I tackled them, and by the end of it I was overjoyed to learn that I had been successful on my first attempt! I really thank my instructor for going out of her way to facilitate and encourage us to attain the Q Grader qualification that I had crossed lakes, mountains, skies and valleys for. At least even if the return journey was similar, the biggest mental and emotional barriers had been conquered. And just like that, Dunia became the first ever Q Grader from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)!\nI plan to apply the skills I learnt to my personal career development, my organization and my country as a whole. What I learnt about coffee in the one week I was in Kenya will go a long way to getting my fellow youth to embrace this gift we give to the world and make the very best out of it.\nThank you Eastern Congo Initiative, Muungano Cooperative, Coffee Quality Institute and Utake Coffee Limited. Indeed, it takes not only a village but the whole entire Dunia.", "domain": "geography"}

Climbing Scafell Pike is a cherished experience for hikers and mountaineers from around the world, offering a thrilling journey through breathtaking landscapes, challenging terrain, and a profound connection with nature. In this article, we will embark on a virtual expedition to Scafell Pike, exploring its history, geology, and the exhilarating climb that awaits those who seek to conquer this iconic summit.\nA Brief Introduction to Scafell Pike\nScafell Pike, often simply referred to as “Scafell,” is the crown jewel of the Lake District National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This majestic peak soars to an elevation of 3,209 feet (978 meters) above sea level and is the highest point in England. It is located in the northwestern part of the Lake District, near the town of Keswick and the picturesque Wastwater Lake. Scafell Pike is part of the Scafell Massif, a group of mountains that also includes Scafell and Broad Crag.\nThe Lake District, where Scafell Pike resides, is a geological wonderland. It was shaped by powerful glacial activity during the last ice age, which sculpted the landscape into its current dramatic form. Scafell Pike itself is a result of volcanic activity that occurred around 450 million years ago, when molten rock, or magma, was forced into the Earth’s crust. Over millions of years, erosion exposed the hardened magma, creating the rugged terrain we see today.\nThe path to the summit provides a fascinating glimpse into the region’s geological history. As you climb higher, you’ll notice the transition from the lush green valleys to the rocky terrain characteristic of higher altitudes. The geological diversity and the visual contrast between the different rock types make the ascent to Scafell Pike an educational and awe-inspiring journey.\nA Historical Perspective\nScafell Pike has long been a focal point for adventure and exploration. Its name is derived from Old Norse, with “Sca Fell” meaning “bald hill.” The peak has played a role in local folklore and history for centuries.\nOne of the most notable historical figures associated with Scafell Pike is Sir Walter Scott, the famous Scottish novelist and poet. In the 19th century, Scott visited the Lake District and climbed Scafell Pike, penning his experiences in his journal. His writings contributed to the growing popularity of the Lake District as a destination for tourists and outdoor enthusiasts.\nThe Modern-Day Challenge\nClimbing Scafell Pike has become a rite of passage for hikers and mountaineers seeking adventure and a sense of accomplishment. The ascent to the summit is not to be taken lightly, as it presents its own set of challenges and rewards.\nRoute Options: There are several routes to the summit of Scafell Pike, each offering a unique perspective on the landscape. The most popular starting points include Wasdale Head, Seathwaite, and Langdale. The choice of route can significantly impact the difficulty of the climb, with some paths being steeper and more challenging than others.\nTerrain: Scafell Pike’s terrain varies from well-maintained paths to rocky, uneven ground. Hikers should be prepared for steep ascents, scree slopes, and potentially unpredictable weather conditions. Proper hiking boots and suitable clothing are essential for a safe and enjoyable climb.\nWeather: The Lake District is known for its rapidly changing weather. Even on a sunny day, conditions can deteriorate quickly, with fog, rain, and wind making navigation and visibility challenging. It’s crucial to check the weather forecast and be prepared for adverse conditions.\nNavigation: Navigating to the summit requires a map and compass skills, especially when visibility is low. GPS devices and mobile apps can be helpful, but it’s wise to have traditional navigation tools as a backup.\nTiming: The length of the climb varies depending on your chosen route and pace. A typical ascent and descent can take anywhere from four to seven hours, so it’s essential to plan accordingly and start early to allow enough time for the journey.\nSafety: Scafell Pike is a challenging mountain, and safety should always be a priority. Inform someone about your plans, hike with a group if possible, and carry essential safety gear such as a first-aid kit, headlamp, and extra clothing.\nThe Rewarding Summit Experience\nDespite the challenges, reaching the summit of Scafell Pike is an immensely rewarding experience. As you ascend, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and lakes, with glimpses of neighboring peaks like Scafell and Great Gable. The sense of accomplishment upon reaching the summit cairn, a pile of stones marking the peak’s highest point, is truly exhilarating.\nScafell Pike offers a unique perspective on the Lake District’s stunning landscape, with its patchwork of lakes, woodlands, and mountains stretching as far as the eye can see. On a clear day, you can even catch a glimpse of the Irish Sea to the west. The summit also provides an opportunity to reflect on the natural beauty and geological history of the region, offering a deep sense of connection to the Earth.\nWildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the chance to spot various bird species, including the elusive ptarmigan, which has adapted to the harsh mountain environment. The Lake District’s biodiversity is rich, and the area surrounding Scafell Pike is home to a variety of flora and fauna, making it a hotspot for nature lovers.\nPreservation and Responsible Hiking\nAs a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a national treasure, the Lake District and Scafell Pike require responsible stewardship from visitors. Hikers should adhere to the principles of “Leave No Trace” by minimizing their impact on the environment. This includes packing out all litter, staying on designated paths to prevent soil erosion, and respecting the wildlife and local communities.\nAdditionally, consider the fragile ecosystem of the region and be mindful of the potential for overcrowding, especially during peak seasons. To minimize your environmental impact and ensure a pleasant experience for everyone, plan your visit during less crowded times or explore alternative routes within the Lake District.\nClimbing Scafell Pike is an adventure that combines history, geology, and the awe-inspiring beauty of the Lake District. It offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, challenge oneself physically and mentally, and experience the thrill of standing atop England’s highest peak. However, it’s essential to approach this climb with preparation, respect for the environment, and an appreciation for the natural wonders that surround you. Whether you’re a seasoned mountaineer or a first-time hiker, Scafell Pike promises an unforgettable journey into the heart of one of England’s most breathtaking landscapes.", "domain": "geography"}

Lakewood Heights is well known for its large mature trees, friendly neighbors, active neighborhood association, stellar schools, great walkability and biking, and our wonderful neighborhood park.\nHistoric Lakewood Shopping Center offers an eclectic mix of neighborhood-based shopping and services. These include a wide array of great restaurants, neighborhood pubs, music venues, and the beautiful, deco-era Lakewood Theater. Services include a grocery store, hardware, artists’ studios, antiques, a winery, museum, bakers, banks, doctors, dentists, veterinarians, auto/electronic services, and unique shops and boutiques! LHNA is very active in protecting and promoting Lakewood as a destination shopping center.\nThe natural beauty of our own Tietze Park is right here in the neighborhood! The park offers a public pool, historic stone pavilion, shaded picnic areas, event plaza, playgrounds, and lighted sport courts and fields. Neighborhood and community events are frequently scheduled in the park throughout the year by the very active Lakewood Heights Neighborhood Association and the Friends of Tietze Park Foundation.\nWhite Rock Lake, the largest urban lake in the U.S., is also very nearby! There is easy access to all the lake has to offer: scenic drives, picnic areas, extensive jogging and bike paths, dog park, sailing, wild bird sanctuary and hiking, hilltop pavilions, the Bath House Cultural Arts Center, and the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden.\nThe Dallas Area Rapid Transit Train at Mockingbird Station is only five minutes away, providing entertainment venues and regional train access to downtown, the Dallas Zoo, and points suburban. Just ten minutes from downtown Dallas, Lakewood Heights offers fast and easy access to work and entertainment centers in the central business district, Deep Ellum, the West End, American Airlines Center, and the Dallas Arts District. Both Southern Methodist University and the famous, elegant North Park Shopping Center are both a very short drive away.\nThe Lakewood Heights Neighborhood Association\nThe Lakewood Heights Neighborhood Association was founded in 1984 and remains an active organization serving all residents within the neighborhood. Through several neighborhood service committees, LHNA plans, hosts, and administers several annual events, community-outreach and environmental programs. The association is also actively involved in Police CrimeWatch programs and events, city hall activities, and participation in the Friends of Tietze Park Foundation. Major events include LHNA Front yard Picnics on all eleven streets, National Night Out first Tuesday in October, and Pumpkins in the Park Picnic and Chili Cook-off in late October. Special events may also be planned to respond to new ideas and opportunities, and the neighborhood frequently co-hosts or supports many events hosted by other local groups. LHNA also actively serves as one of the eight neighboring associations that reviews all zoning change applications proposed for the Lakewood Shopping Center as a part of the requirements of the City of Dallas Ordinance PD 281.\nA semi-annual newsletter is delivered to every household by elected street representatives and/or block captains. Street Representatives are elected each year by neighbors on their own street to serve as their voice of concerns, issues, and new ideas for the neighborhood. General meetings of all members are held quarterly, with open Board meetings scheduled each month. The Board of Directors is made up by Officers and Street Representatives. Membership in the association is deliberately kept to a minimal fee to ensure access to everyone in the neighborhood. We certainly invite you to join this very active organization as an excellent way to meet your neighbors, protect your neighborhood, and enjoy all the best of life in Lakewood Heights!", "domain": "geography"}

But the community also has a unique set of advantages, including its community associations, its walkability, and the plethora of businesses that form its social and economic backbone. One of the organizations responding to these challenges and leveraging these advantages is Chinatown Community Development Center (CCDC), a community advocacy organization centered in the neighborhood with operations across San Francisco.\nAt the beginning of the pandemic, CCDC created a unique program to combat food insecurity in Chinatown’s most crowded housing, a program that it recently revived to combat the effects of the pandemic’s second wave. CCDC has also spearheaded programs to decrease social isolation among its residents, ensure equitable distribution of resources across the city, and foster neighborhood pride during the pandemic.\nThe National Housing Conference spoke with CCDC Executive Director Malcolm Yeung on how his organization has responded to Chinatown’s needs during COVID-19 and why organizations that center community solidarity are more important than ever during a health crisis.\nCCDC serves a unique neighborhood and community. Can you describe San Francisco’s Chinatown?\nSan Francisco’s Chinatown is a one quarter-square mile neighborhood with approximately 18,000 residents, making it the second most densely populated neighborhood in the United States, after Manhattan’s Chinatown. About a third of residents live below the poverty line, and close to 90% of adults are monolingual Chinese speakers.\nPeople often think of Chinatown as nothing more than a tourist trap, but it serves a vital social role for its residents and the city more broadly. Both historically and presently, Chinatown is an immigrant gateway where those who have recently arrived from China can come and find affordable housing, starter jobs, cultural and faith-based associations, and begin to form their social and economic networks and achieve upward mobility. The core of CCDC’s mission is to protect Chinatown’s status as a launching pad for these immigrants, so that it continues to be a resource that future immigrants can use in the same way as their predecessors.\nAbout half of Chinatown’s housing stock consists of single-room occupancy hotels (SROs), dormitory-style buildings in which residents share a single bathroom and kitchen per floor. Originally intended as housing for seasonal railroad and agricultural workers, since 1965 SROs typically served as housing for Chinatown’s most recent arrivals while they found work and built up enough in savings to find permanent housing in and around San Francisco. SRO residents typically found work in one of Chinatown’s many restaurants, or as janitors or laborers in nearby downtown San Francisco. But declining economic mobility combined with skyrocketing housing costs in the San Francisco Bay Area meant that an increasing portion of SRO renters are families with children sharing units that are little bigger than a walk-in closet.\nThe other main source of housing in the neighborhood are the Pings, a four-building public housing complex that has traditionally served as the neighborhood’s family housing. However, the same forces that have changed the makeup of SROs have also impacted the Pings: residents now skew older, as those who received subsidized apartments years ago and now see few options available to people at their income in San Francisco have been reluctant to give them up as they age. Young families are thus often crowded out, another reason they have been increasingly turning to SROs for housing.\nHow does CCDC fit into the neighborhood?\nCCDC is a 44-year-old organization whose mission is to build community to improve quality of life in and around Chinatown. The community-building we engage in takes two main forms. The first is housing. We recognize that housing is the foundation of any community, so much of our activity is focused on acquiring, building, and rehabbing housing, and making sure at every step of the process that housing meets the needs of the community rather than imposing a certain standard on it. That element of our organization’s work is citywide: we operate about 3,500 affordable units across San Francisco, only about 30% of which are in Chinatown.\nThe second component is building the people capacity of the community, which encompasses activities like tenant organizing and advocacy for community resources like parks, as well as programs to build leadership skills among Chinatown’s young people. Whatever our work on this front entails, the goal is to always build a sense of pride and ownership of the community in its residents, and to preserve the neighborhood ecosystem that generations of advocates have fought to protect for over a century.\nHow was Chinatown affected by the pandemic?\nChinatowns and other Asian American neighborhoods across the country felt the economic impacts of the pandemic before any other set of communities, due to President Trump’s racist characterization of COVID-19 as the “Chinese virus.” San Francisco’s Chinatown had the feeling of a ghost town starting in late January of last year, and attendance at the Lunar New Year’s Parade in February was 30% of what was typical. California’s shelter in place order was not imposed until mid-March.\nAfter the order was imposed, Chinatown was not identified as a hot spot neighborhood by the city, and so the city neglected to build up much testing capacity in the neighborhood. We at CCDC found this frustrating, because authorities then used the low case counts in the neighborhood as evidence that additional testing capacity wasn’t needed, neglecting the fact that numbers might have been low precisely because of the lack of testing capacity. This lack of testing made it difficult to tell how infection rates differed in Chinatown relative to the city as a whole, even as Asian and Pacific Islander Americans made up a disproportionate share of the city’s total COVID-19 cases.\nWhat is sure, however, is that Chinatown residents adopted widespread mask-wearing quite early, even before authorities made it mandatory, which helped significantly lower community spread. However, even though the disease itself could have been worse in Chinatown and the other neighborhoods CCDC serves, the economic effects of the disease were quite dire. Business closure and unemployment was widespread, and in addition there were the adverse social effects of isolation that every community experienced during those first few months.\nWhat was CCDC’s main concern at the beginning of the pandemic?\nOur singular concern at the beginning of the pandemic was the potential for uncontrolled COVID-19 spread in SROs. SRO residents live in very close proximity to each other and share facilities like kitchens and bathrooms, but before COVID-19, most residents spent a majority of their time in their units, at work and at school. However, after schools closed and unemployment spiked – according to CCDC data, 77% of SRO residents lost their jobs in the first few months of the pandemic and almost 100% experienced some reduction in hours – residents began spending almost all of their time in their units, so SRO population density actually increased.\nOn top of the simple increase in density, there was also an increase in facility use, most worryingly of kitchens. Before the pandemic, kitchen usage was actually rather limited in SROs, since many residents ate outside their units at work, school or in restaurants. But when those places shut down, kitchen use increased dramatically. Additionally, residents experiencing financial hardship began relying more heavily on food assistance programs, which are used primarily for groceries and cannot be used for hot meals, putting further pressure on kitchens as residents had no choice but to rely on unprepared food. Informal norms around kitchen use began to break down, and there were concerns about residents congregating in kitchens at mealtimes, exactly the sort of activity that would cause the virus to spread rapidly. Because of all of this, we decided that it was extremely important to find ways to get SRO residents out of kitchens, which meant that we needed to find an alternative way to get meals to them.\nHow did CCDC respond to that concern about SRO residents’ kitchen use?\nAt the same time as SRO residents were undergoing turmoil related to kitchen use, Chinatown’s businesses were being hammered by the pandemic as well. Of the more than 150 restaurants in the neighborhood, only 40 remained open a month after shutdown was declared. Restaurants are important economically, of course, but they also serve vital roles as community institutions, as places where neighbors can congregate and form bonds with each other, functions that are especially important for those whose living spaces are quite cramped.\nCCDC realized that it could solve both of these problems at once. Under the Feed + Fuel program, we partnered with San Francisco New Deal and the city’s Human Services Agency to provide meal vouchers for use at neighborhood restaurants, to ensure that residents remained food secure despite not having consistent access to kitchens. San Francisco New Deal administered the program, distributing vouchers and payments to restaurants, and organizing food preparation and delivery, while CCDC spread awareness among residents and business owners of the unique opportunities provided by the program. Ultimately, the program provided 122,000 meal vouchers to around 2,000 households for use at 34 participating neighborhood restaurants. Restaurants were reimbursed for vouchers using funds we raised, and meals were packaged and delivered to SRO residents in Chinatown and nearby neighborhoods like Tenderloin and North Beach by a team of 180 volunteers.\nThe majority of households served lived in SRO units, but the program was also available to senior residents of the Pings public housing complex to address an increase in senior hunger during the pandemic. The program allowed us to meet both public health and food security goals, while also providing vital business to neighborhood restaurants that would have struggled to stay open if it had not been for the patronage enabled by this program.\nHow long did the Feed + Fuel program serve residents?\nAfter its initial rollout in the spring of last year, the program began to sunset at the beginning of the summer. There were several reasons for its winding down: COVID-19 numbers were declining steadily at that time, and so there was less concern about SRO kitchen use being a major source of community spread. Additionally, the arrival of warmer weather and relaxed public health restrictions had allowed a significant number of restaurants to reopen with outdoor dining facilities, which meant that a significant number of Chinatown residents were able to go back to work, providing them with both increased food security and taking some of the strain off SRO kitchens.\nAs winter set in, however, many of the same dynamics that had been worrisome in the spring began to manifest again. COVID-19 numbers citywide were on the rise, and, particularly distressingly, case counts in SROs were increasing quickly relative to the city rate. Outdoor dining was shut down, forcing many restaurants to shutter once again, and there was chatter that many of the neighborhood’s most storied establishments were thinking of closing their doors permanently. This prompted CCDC and its partners to restart the Feed + Fuel program in January. This time, the program was both narrower in scope but larger in scale: Feed + Fuel 2.0 focused solely on SRO residents, since it had been determined that food insecurity among senior public housing residents was not especially concerning; and the program aimed to serve around 3,000 households with meals from any of the more than 50 restaurants that are still open in Chinatown. Since unemployment had decreased in and around the neighborhood, Feed + Fuel 2.0 was unable to take advantage of as large a corps of volunteers as the first iteration of the program, and so it ceased to offer meal delivery to residents. This limited the program’s scope to the immediate area of Chinatown, but due to the neighborhood’s extreme level of walkability, this was hardly an inconvenience for program participants.\nIn addition to crafting new programs to address the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic, how did CCDC adapt existing programs to fit social distance protocols?\nOne of our most visible efforts to build community is its Chinatown Alleyway Tours program, in which young Chinatown residents design their own neighborhood tours. Through the program, youths are able to highlight the landmarks and stories that are most meaningful to them and the community by designing their own tour routes and scripts. This exposes tourists who visit Chinatown to aspects of the neighborhood they might not have learned about on a more traditional tour, but also, and more importantly from our perspective, builds vital leadership skills and neighborhood pride among the young people who participate, ensuring that Chinatown continues to have a deep corps of advocates far into the future.\nDuring COVID-19, however, these tours ceased to be viable as they had been given before, and so we began working with our young tour guides to find an alternative way to continue them. The alternative they came up with was to build a virtual model of Chinatown on the video game Minecraft, and use that as the platform on which tours were given, which we thought was brilliantly creative. Given that CCDC views the tour’s most important function as being the process of young residents designing the tours and building a sense of ownership of the community, the fact that youth made such an effort to recreate their community virtually when people could no longer safely visit in person still achieved the desired outcome.\nWhat other programs has CCDC implemented to serve residents during the pandemic?\nLike many other organizations, we implemented a telephonic wellness check program for the residents of our properties, through which we found that, for senior residents in particular, social isolation was a serious challenge. As a result of the information collected during those wellness checks, we initiated a program to reduce social isolation by educating seniors on the use of online video platforms like Zoom. Because of this education program, we were able to virtually relaunch a monthly town hall event for seniors, which provided another vital venue for social interaction.\nWe have also done work around supporting families, especially those in SROs, with children to facilitate distance learning, and have partnered with a number of other community groups to push for the opening of COVID-19 testing sites in the neighborhood. Most recently, our focus has been on getting Chinatown residents vaccinated, for which we are partnering with a local hospital to get residents in line for shots via telephone, to avoid the paperwork that can be difficult to complete for those who speak little English.\nWhat lessons has CCDC drawn from the pandemic?\nOver the course of the pandemic, we realized that the most effective tool at our disposal is community organizing.\nIn the Feed + Fuel program, we relied on San Francisco New Deal on the administrative side, but our deep roots in the Chinatown community is what allowed the program take up to be as high as it has been, and ultimately what allowed the program to have the public health and nutritional success it has. CCDC’s status as a pillar of the community meant that it served a vital role in familiarizing residents and businesses with the program and making them comfortable with it, despite the fact that it was being administered by another organization they weren’t familiar with.\nThe same has been true of CCDC’s work on other fronts during the pandemic, from the push to distribute supplies for distance learning to the effort to get Chinatown residents vaccinated.\nIt is vitally important for a community like Chinatown to have an organization with decades-long connections to its residents to serve as an intermediary and advocate to other institutions so that the community gets the resources it needs to succeed.\nAs we begin to emerge from the pandemic, how does CCDC envision the recovery process for Chinatown?\nGoing forward, we are focused on ensuring that Chinatown’s community-serving businesses recover, while also making sure that those businesses and the residents that rely on them are not displaced. During the recovery from the previous economic crisis, too little attention was paid to which residents and businesses benefited from the rebounding economy, with the effect that many residents and important, community-serving businesses were shut out. As we emerge from the pandemic, we plan to concentrate much more intently on ensuring that the businesses that have served the community for over a century remain there, and that Chinatown remains accessible for its current residents and future generations of immigrants.", "domain": "geography"}

It was created by Prof. Jesse Torgerson and his Wesleyan undergraduate students as part of their regular coursework, integrated with the Traveler’s Lab, and supported by its student researchers. It is our first sustained Traveler’s Lab project that fully blends the ongoing work of students in the lab with a stand alone, one-semester course.\nTo create this project, we took advantage of a project-based pedagogy (on which, see below) and had students “unearth” (through good old library research) what they could discover of current knowledge of the material realities of the capital of the medieval Roman Empire, Constantinople (modern Istanbul). Students uploaded their research projects onto Esri’s ArcGIS online platform, then curated and organized the cumulative collaborative database via StoryMaps.\nClick the image below to explore the interactive digital encyclopedia . Since the site remains in its “beta” version, scroll down for an explanation of how to “read” the content in the database, and to learn about the process of its creation.\nOn this map, as above, we currently we have curated over 300 distinct items into six overlapping “themes” — Monumental Architecture, Water Infrastructure, Exchange Economy, Religious Life, Private Life, and Administrative Regions.\nThese themes present scholars’ current knowledge of the topography of medieval Constantinople. Each pin, line, or polygon in the database (everything that is green) can be clicked to activate a “popup” dialogue box. Each dialogue box contains a brief encyclopedia entry on that item (whether it is an item, a monument, a site, a region, or a route), which gives a short definition of the item, its date, some commentary, and then further bibliography and image citations. The content in these boxes represents a student’s self-designed research project, which that student (cited as the entry’s author) generated as their coursework for a single week of the semester. These are the surviving traces of Constantinople, as “unearthed” by students.\nConstantinople as Palimpsest: an experiment in Project-Based Learning\nConstantinople as Palimpsest represents our first attempt to fully link the Traveler’s Lab researchers and the digital humanities acumen of the Traveler’s Lab students with a traditional course (where students are ultimately responsible for acquiring mastery of specific content, as determined by the Professor). The Project-Based Learning model — sustained at Wesleyan by a Davis Foundation grant won by Prof. Lisa Dierker, and supported by Paula Blue and Dan Mercier at Wesleyan’s Center for Pedagogical Innovation — provided the conceptual framework for this pedagogical approach.\nThe Constantinople as Palimpsest project has thus far undergone two course-based incarnations. It was initiated by the twenty students in Jesse W. Torgerson’s Spring 2015 course, Re-imagining East and West: Constantinople between Rome and Istanbul.\nThen in Spring 2017, a second group of fifteen students — supported by two student researchers in the Traveler’s Lab (Connor Cobb (Wes ’16) and Nadja Shannon-Dabek (Wes ’17)) — took up the project as their coursework for Constantinople: From Rome to Istanbul (COL 128).\nA third version of the course, scheduled for Spring 2019, will further develop the project.\nFrom the Acquisition of Historical Knowledge, to the Making of History\nThe screenshot below gives a sense of what the initial 2015 version of the project looked like. In part this image simply shows how far we were able to develop the aesthetics of the project (partly by making our basemap a geo-referenced version of Konstantinos (Kostas) Plakidas’ publication to Wikimedia commons of his synthesis of R. Janin’s Constantinople Byzantine).\nBut, more significantly, this image shows in nuce why our different approach to history is so significant. Project-based thinking is not just a different way of running course assignments, but a different way of doing history. Participants in the course collaborated on our GIS-based database to “plot” scholars’ current knowledge of the topography of medieval Constantinople. Thus, students did not experience “history” as a passive appreciation of past things, but came to understand and gain real ownership over the remnants of this lost world through active research. They learned the topography of our historical knowledge of Constantinople by actually generating that topography.\nHow does this sort of work actually change students’ relationship to history? In the above screenshot, each point represents a specific known material object, preserved today as either a textual or physical artefact. The dispersal of these known items is not democratic. It is not “of the people.” Instead, it is concentrated along the imperial processional route, the mese. Students quickly came to see — in a much more profound way than simply hearing their professor repeat the point from the lectern — how and why our understanding of the Byzantine period is so dominated by imperial narratives and monuments. The markers on this map cluster at (from left to right) the Forum of Theodosius I (r. 379-392), the Forum of Constantine (r. 312-337), the Hippodrome, the Baths of Zeuxippus, and the cathedral church of Hagia Sophia. The persistence of this dominance of the imperial narrative over the surviving source material was only more deeply re-iterated with the additional material added in Spring 2017, as can be seen by perusing our “Monumental Architecture” theme. To uncover a “people’s history” requires intentional and difficult work.\nThe database both reveals this bias, and makes it possible to work against it. Students pursued this work with enthusiasm. Our 2017 themes “Private Life,” “Water Infrastructure,” and “Exchange Economy” are all attempts to bring non-imperial experiences to life. Students also fought against this bias by creating their own historical narratives and artistic responses to Constantinople, based on the imagined geography of our database.\nA number of these analytical projects were created as Story Maps. For instance, one such Story Map (by Elena Milin, Wes ’18) explored what it might have been like to be swept up in the way a famous, prolonged urban revolt against the Emperor Justinian I (d. 565) — the Nika Riots — as the crowds, imperial troops, and raging fires would have moved through the monumental environment. Thus, besides simply using the opportunity to generate new voices and perspectives, many of these student spin-off projects built out from the new theoretical perspectives opened up by the project’s emphasis on creating a sense of space and place in history.\nThe project continues to pursue two long-term goals:\n(1) equip Wesleyan students to manage and curate the only all-inclusive database on medieval Constantinople\n(2) facilitate Wesleyan students’ collaborations with professors and students at other institutions in pursuit of space-based analyses of medieval Constantinople, both as it might have been, and as it has come down to us in the present", "domain": "geography"}

It's not always the most comfortable of road-trips, but it gives great insight into life on the island and helps further the impression that you are nearing the edge of a vast continent.\nMozambique's infrastructure – or the lack of it – makes it an unlikely destination for the unadventurous, and Vamizi's charm lies in its isolation and strong conservationist philosophy. The 13 wooden villas that line the beach on the shores of the Indian Ocean are as sustainable as possible: they don't have bathtubs or air-conditioning, although the large marbled showers and the open-air walls that let the breeze through make both redundant. And while there are swimming pools in the recently built large private villas, we spent all our time in the clear turquoise sea instead. Framed by the finest white-sand powder imaginable, the beach is one of the most beautiful that I have ever seen.\nNo one is going to tell you off if you want to spend all day relaxing on the porch of your villa, but there is plenty to do if you prefer to keep busy – yoga classes, kayaking, deep-sea fishing, whale-watching, snorkelling and diving (the untouched reef around nearby Neptune's Arm is considered one of the best dive-sites in the world) are arranged over informal pre-dinner drinks at the main lodge as evening falls – but even the laziest of visitors can spot some of the island's wildlife from the comfort of their sun-lounger, as the bush behind the villas is home to both Samango monkeys and countless indigenous birds.\nReturning to the tarmac and the plane that would bring us back to Dar a week later, where our mobiles started beeping with the sound of incoming messages, we realised that we had just experienced the greatest luxury an urbanite could ever dream of: complete peace and quiet of the kind that is worth going back for.", "domain": "geography"}

Here are some differences between camping in South Dakota vs. North Dakota:\nNorth Dakota Camping Offers:\n- Flatter terrain that is mostly prairie so hiking or exploring is less strenuous\n- The Badlands and Medora on the western edge of the state\n- More sightings of wildlife such as Bighorn sheep, moose, elk, and bison\n- Less population (775,000) means more serene camping locations and experiences\n- Summer temperatures are warm but rarely overbearingly hot\n- Wonderful state park campgrounds, rivers and lakes, and local sites\nSouth Dakota Camping Offers:\n- Flat terrain on the eastern side, and forested and mountainous terrain in the Black Hills on the western side\n- More major cities and attractions such as Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, Badlands, Deadwood, Sturgis, and Sioux Falls\n- The population is slightly higher than in North Dakota, but more tourists visit the state, so density increases heavily near the major attractions\n- Great spring and fall temperatures and a less harsh winter camping climate, but summer can get hot\n- Plentiful national and state park campgrounds, along with dispersed camping options\nBoth Dakotas have a healthy Native American population and private Reservations with museums and local opportunities to learn more about their culture and sacred lands.

That would need to be authorized by various NCAA entities.\nNevertheless, several sources have informed CBS Sports the opportunity of those bids being authorized have reduced of late. That's due to the fact that the NCAA continues to be a plaintiff fighting a New Jersey law passed in 2014 permitting sports gambling within the state.\nUp until now, New Jersey has stopped working on every front to implement the law. In addition to the NCAA, complainants fighting the law consist of the NFL, NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball, along with the Department of Justice\nThe U.S. Supreme Court remains in the process of choosing whether it will hear New Jersey's appeal in the event. West Virginia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Wisconsin have likewise filed briefs with the court in support of New Jersey.\nIn brief, it's a case of bad optics for the NCAA at this time. Sources state the association would be hesitant to authorize championship occasions in Nevada while it fights sports gambling in New Jersey.\nThe NCAA's veteran policy has been to keep championships from states that enable sports betting. But the week began with the Oakland Raiders revealing a move to Las Vegas. The brand-new T-Mobile Arena in the city will be the home of the growth Golden Knights of the NHL next fall.\nMultiple conferences play their postseason conference basketball tournaments in the city.

Covering an area of approximately 348,000 square kilometers, it is the largest coral reef system in the world and is even visible from space.\nThe reef is composed of billions of tiny coral polyps that form intricate structures called coral colonies. These colonies create a complex ecosystem that supports a wide variety of marine life. But beyond its beauty and biodiversity, the Great Barrier Reef also serves as a natural carbon sink. Coral reefs, including the Great Barrier Reef, absorb and store carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate the effects of global warming.\nCoral reefs are known for their ability to capture carbon through a process called calcification. Coral polyps extract calcium carbonate from the seawater and use it to build their hard skeletons. In this process, they absorb and store carbon dioxide from the surrounding water. Over time, these coral skeletons accumulate and form the reef structure, effectively sequestering carbon.\nThe Link between Coral Reefs and Global Warming\nThe link between coral reefs and global warming is a crucial one. The increase in atmospheric CO2 levels, primarily caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, has led to rising ocean temperatures. When the water becomes too warm, corals expel the symbiotic algae that live within their tissues, causing them to turn white, a phenomenon known as coral bleaching.\nCoral bleaching is a visible sign of stress and can have devastating effects on coral reefs. If the water temperatures remain high for extended periods, the corals eventually die, leading to the degradation of the entire reef ecosystem. As coral reefs decline, their ability to capture carbon decreases, exacerbating the effects of global warming.\nAdditionally, the loss of coral reefs also impacts the biodiversity and ecological balance of the oceans. Many species rely on coral reefs for food, shelter, and breeding grounds. Without healthy reefs, these species face a higher risk of extinction, further disrupting marine ecosystems.\nThreats to the Great Barrier Reef\nDespite its importance, the Great Barrier Reef faces numerous threats that put its survival at risk. One of the major threats is climate change, which leads to ocean acidification and rising sea temperatures. These changes make it difficult for corals to survive and recover from disturbances.\nAnother significant threat is pollution, particularly from agricultural runoff and coastal development. Excessive nutrient runoff can cause algal blooms, which smother corals and disrupt the delicate balance of the reef ecosystem. Coastal development, including dredging and land reclamation, can also directly damage the reef and its surrounding habitats.\nOverfishing and destructive fishing practices also pose a threat to the Great Barrier Reef. When key species are overfished, it disrupts the natural food chain and can lead to imbalances within the ecosystem. Destructive fishing practices, such as bottom trawling, can cause physical damage to the coral colonies and their habitats.\nThese threats, combined with the impacts of climate change, pose a significant challenge to the long-term survival of the Great Barrier Reef and highlight the urgent need for conservation and restoration efforts.\nReef Restoration Foundation: Rebuilding the Reef\nIn the face of these threats, organizations like the Reef Restoration Foundation based in Cairns are working tirelessly to rebuild the Great Barrier Reef. The foundation focuses on restoring damaged coral reefs using innovative techniques, such as coral gardening and larval propagation.\nCoral gardening involves collecting healthy coral fragments and transplanting them onto damaged reef areas. These fragments are then nurtured and monitored until they grow into new colonies. Larval propagation, on the other hand, aims to enhance the natural coral reproduction process by collecting coral larvae, raising them in controlled environments, and releasing them onto degraded reef areas.\nThe work of the Reef Restoration Foundation is crucial in rebuilding and preserving the Great Barrier Reef. By actively restoring damaged areas, they not only help to reestablish the reef's carbon capture capabilities but also provide a lifeline for the countless species that depend on the reef for survival.\nSupporting the Reef Restoration Foundation: Our Program\nAt Unwritten, we recognise the importance of preserving the Great Barrier Reef and supporting the restoration efforts. That's why we have developed a program to contribute to the Reef Restoration Foundation's work. For every bottle of Unwritten sold, we donate enough money for a baby coral to be born.\nBy purchasing Unwritten products, our customers directly contribute to the restoration of the Great Barrier Reef.

Unlike those campuses, which are free-standing, the university’s Silicon Valley branch will be hosted at multiple hubs in the Bay Area, sharing space with the region’s tech companies.\nNortheastern, as opposed to the many universities that have established branch campuses abroad, has focused its expansion efforts within the U.S. While its undergraduate student population and research centers remain in Boston, the university is increasingly taking its graduate offerings to professionals in the regions where they work.\n\"The traditional notion of a university that is defined by a campus is now replaced by the notion of a university that has a global presence and different manifestations, physical and otherwise,” Joseph E. Aoun, Northeastern’s president, said in an interview. “We are not looking to expand for the sake of expanding.… We are looking for vibrant, urban environments where there are activities that are exciting and we can be a part of, add to and also benefit from. We clearly couldn’t ignore Silicon Valley. Who could?\"\nSince Northeastern plans to offer hybrid certificate and degree programs in the Bay Area, the university’s locations there will need only “lighter” infrastructure than a full campus, said Philomena Mantella, senior vice president and chief executive of the institution's Global Network. “It won’t have residence halls or climbing gyms.

I have made some new friends, improved my Spanish (poco a poco) and have taken a lot of photographs with my iPhone.\nThis is a wonderful place. I slid into this world so much easier than I ever imagined. There are so many things to love in this magical town. Here are ten of my favorites.\n1. The climate is pretty close to perfect. The weather is quite lovely from October - April. May is a bit warmer with highs about 88 degrees. June is the beginning of the rainy season, but I am finding out that on most days storms don't roll in until about 4:00 in the afternoon. And at 6400 feet the thunder/lightning storms are impressive.\n2. Color - It's everywhere. It's on the buildings, in the decor, the art, the clothing, in the gardens. If you asked me for one word to describe San Miguel de Allende I would use the word \"colorful.\"\n3. The Light - The light is different here. I am not sure exactly how to describe it. Maybe it's because of the altitude... or maybe the latitude. All I know is that some days it takes my breath away.\n4. Texture - San Miguel de Allende is a town of texture, from the cement walls, to the tile floors and embroidered textiles.\n5. Architecture - The architecture in SMA is Spanish Colonial and it is gorgeous.\n6. Coffee and Food - SMA is a \"foodie's\" delight. Some of the best chefs in Mexico have opened restaurants. Here is a link to some of the most popular.\n7. Art - Ever since American Stirling Dickinson arrived in 1937, SMA has drawn artists to its schools and galleries from all over the world. One of my favorite galleries is Fabrica la Aurora, where there are also three restaurants and little shops.\n8. Live Music is everywhere - in cafes, nightclubs and theaters. You can be walking down the street and suddenly a marching band will come around the corner. I recently saw Lila Downs in the new large outdoor venue at the edge of town. The crowd sang along to all the Mexican favorites. There was wine, beer, snacks and even fireworks.\n9. Festivals and Fiestas - SMA is festival central. There are parades, saint day celebrations, wedding processions. The streets are decorated and are full of tradition, music, dancing, colorful costumes and food. Here is a calendar of the most popular.\n10.People - People in SMA are very friendly. Locals have been helpful with my Spanish, kindly correcting my grammar and pronunciation. Like most large towns and cities, if you are looking for trouble you can find it. But, as one older gentleman told me, if you are not looking, it is unlikely to find you. I was careful about walking alone on empty streets at night, but I was careful about that in the U.S. as well.\nThere is a reason that Travel and Leisure just named San Miguel de Allende the number one city in the world to visit. It's a gem.", "domain": "geography"}

Here are some specific examples and case studies that highlight the impact:\n1. Sea Turtle Nesting and Hatching Disturbance:\nCase Study: South Walton, Florida, USA\nIn many coastal regions, sea turtles come ashore to lay their eggs in nests during nesting season. Driving on the beach at night or without proper regulation can disrupt this delicate process. In South Walton, Florida, where sea turtles like loggerheads and green turtles nest, irresponsible beach driving has been a significant concern. Bright headlights and noise from vehicles can disorient nesting turtles and discourage them from coming ashore, resulting in fewer successful nests. Additionally, driving over nests can damage the eggs or crush them, causing a direct threat to the survival of these endangered species.\n2. Destruction of Dune Ecosystems:\nCase Study: North Carolina Outer Banks, USA\nDunes are natural barriers that protect coastal areas from erosion and storm surges. Irresponsible driving on beaches can lead to the destruction of dune ecosystems. Vehicles driving over dunes can flatten vegetation, destabilize the dune structure, and expose them to wind and wave erosion. This not only disrupts the delicate balance of the ecosystem but also leaves the shoreline vulnerable to damage from hurricanes and other natural disasters.\n3. Beach-Nesting Birds Disturbance:\nCase Study: Fraser Island, Australia\nFraser Island, off the coast of Queensland, is home to a variety of beach-nesting birds, including the vulnerable ground parrot. These birds build their nests in the sand and are highly sensitive to disturbance. Irresponsible beach driving, especially off-designated tracks, can crush nests, eggs, and chicks, threatening the survival of these bird populations. The constant presence of vehicles can also scare adult birds away from their nests, leaving eggs and chicks exposed to predation and environmental stress.\n4. Harm to Marine Mammals:\nCase Study: Padre Island National Seashore, Texas, USA\nPadre Island National Seashore is a vital nesting and calving ground for Kemp's ridley sea turtles, the most endangered sea turtle species. Additionally, the area serves as a habitat for resident and migratory marine mammals like bottlenose dolphins. Irresponsible beach driving can directly harm these animals. Collisions with vehicles can injure or kill marine mammals, and the noise and disturbance from vehicles can disrupt important behaviors such as feeding and communication.\n5. Pollution and Habitat Destruction:\nCase Study: Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia\nUnregulated beach driving can lead to pollution and habitat destruction. Vehicles may leak oil, fuel, and other fluids directly onto the sand, contaminating the beach and coastal waters. Furthermore, driving over sensitive coastal vegetation can lead to soil erosion and habitat degradation. Such impacts can affect various species, including crabs, beach-nesting birds, and marine life that rely on a healthy coastal environment for survival.\nIn conclusion, irresponsible beach driving can have far-reaching consequences for wildlife and coastal ecosystems. It disrupts critical nesting and breeding behaviors, destroys delicate dune ecosystems, harms marine animals, and leads to pollution and habitat destruction. To protect these precious environments and the species that rely on them, responsible and regulated access to coastal areas is essential.\nHere are some anecdotes from beachgoers who have witnessed the negative effects of irresponsible beach driving:\n1. Anecdote from a Sea Turtle Volunteer:\n\"I've been volunteering with a local sea turtle conservation group for years, and every nesting season, we patrol the beaches to monitor and protect sea turtle nests. One night, as we were surveying the beach, we came across a group of people driving recklessly on the sand, completely ignoring the nesting areas marked with signs. Despite our attempts to signal them to stop, they continued to speed along the beach, causing chaos and distress for nesting sea turtles. We found crushed eggs and disturbed nests in their wake, and it broke our hearts to see these endangered creatures suffer due to irresponsible beach driving.\"\n2. Anecdote from a Beach Cleanup Volunteer:\n\"I've been participating in beach cleanups for a while, and it's disheartening to see the aftermath of irresponsible beach driving. During one cleanup, we found piles of trash scattered near the dunes, which were likely left behind by people driving off-designated tracks. Not only did the litter harm the coastal environment, but it also attracted scavengers that could pose a threat to nesting birds and other wildlife. It's crucial for beachgoers to understand that their actions, even seemingly small ones, can have a significant impact on the delicate ecosystems we're trying to protect.\"\n3. Anecdote from a Beach Visitor:\n\"I remember visiting a beautiful coastal area with my family, hoping to enjoy the serene environment and maybe spot some wildlife. However, our experience was marred by a group of individuals driving recklessly on the beach. They were revving their engines, playing loud music, and driving over dunes without any regard for the environment or the creatures that call it home. We witnessed birds frantically flying away, and it was evident that these drivers were disrupting their nesting areas. It was a sad reminder of how a few irresponsible individuals can ruin the experience for everyone and harm the coastal ecosystem.\"\n4. Anecdote from a Marine Biologist:\n\"As a marine biologist, I've studied the impact of beach driving on coastal ecosystems for years. During one research trip, we observed the behavior of bottlenose dolphins in an area heavily frequented by beach drivers. The dolphins showed signs of stress and spent less time feeding due to the constant noise and disturbance caused by vehicles. It was heart-wrenching to witness how our actions were affecting these intelligent and beautiful creatures. Responsible beach driving practices are essential to protect marine life and ensure they can thrive in their natural habitats.\"\nIncluding such personal stories can create a stronger connection between readers and the issues at hand, motivating them to take responsible actions when visiting coastal areas and driving on beaches. Empathy and emotional understanding play a significant role in driving positive changes in behavior and conservation efforts.", "domain": "geography"}

It has very good rainfall, virgin land mass for farming, natural pastures, fresh water, plenty of cheap labor and minerals”, he says.\nHe made the remarks to a group of Gulu based journalists on May 16, 2017, when they visited him at his ranch located at Lagot-lek village in Gulu district, sixty kilometers north of Gulu town. The ranch is registered as Northern Ranch Limited.\nHe says the missing link for Africa to take off is the knowledge and technology exchange that the West has and Africa still lacks.\nHe said Africa is riddled with lots of conflicts because of poverty and the people are redundant; adding that conflicts will only end with massive investment in production of food crops and animals to supply the world market.\nMr. Jokkene appealed to the Africans in the diaspora to return home with their mental resources and help Africa take off economically.\n“Time is running out for you Africans in the diaspora. We need your “mental resources” to develop Africa. It is now time you come back home”, he says.\nJokkene’s dream of transforming the economy of Africa\nMr. Jokkene says two of his enterprises, Talanta Microfinance and Northern Ranch, are meant to transform the economy of war ravaged Northern Uganda from small subsistence farming to large scale commercial farming.\nHe says he has partnered with one of the banks in the Middle East who have invested five billion US dollars to introduce “Islamic banking” in Uganda to help boost production.\nHe appealed to businessmen and commercial farmers in northern Uganda with good and properly laid down business plans to come for financial support at his Talanta Microfinance instead of running to commercial banks who charge exorbitant interests.\n“Islamic banking is already here with us in town. Its primary interest is to help you grow your businesses by enabling you acquire assets like tractors for opening farmlands, warehouses, machineries and factories”.\nTalanta Microfinance targets to support 3000 groups of farmers in Acholi sub-regions with ox-ploughs and pairs of oxen to enable farmers graduate from traditional hand-hoes to opening land using oxen so as to boost production.\n“If we can make our farmers produce agricultural produce worth $1.4 million dollars in a season and we get market for it, then there is no reason to say that there is still poverty in northern Uganda”\nWho is Timothy Jokkene?\nMr. Jokkene was born in October 1958 to the late Batulumayo Ojara, a shop keeper at Ajulu, near Sir Samuel Baker’s Fort Patiko in Gulu district. He was dotted on by his father to the extent that he was the only child permitted to sell in the shop at a tender age.\nHe developed his skills in business from his father’s shop and by the time he dropped out of formal education after high school in 1983, he had already bought 36 herds of cattle for himself.\nMarried with four children, Mr. Jokkene was briefly arrested by the Museveni regime and detained at Luzira prison in 1987. After coming out of detention he began serious business in 1989 by acquiring Caltex Petrol Station in Gulu and successfully running it throughout these years.\nCurrently he runs three petrol stations, a microfinance institution, and a ranch which with 500 herds of cross bred cattle, a secondary school and two health centers.", "domain": "geography"}

Currently, though these regional government agencies publish housing assessments, such as the ABAG Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA), local municipalities, particularly low-density suburbs, continue to obstruct and prevent the construction of new multifamily housing in their communities, forcing other municipalities and the rest of their region to take up the slack. The power needs to be shifted away from local City Councils and Planning Commissions (and the housing cartels that control them), to integrated regional housing development more closely tied to public transportation such as the LA Metro and the SFMTA.\nMunicipalities, for their part, need to adapt to modern times by streamlining the planning approval process, and overriding self-interested obstruction of good projects that provide much-needed, affordable, sustainable housing. Unfortunately, certain neighborhoods in San Francisco have tried (again driven by self-interested homeowners and landlords) to place a moratorium on new housing construction exactly at time when new construction is most needed. While some claim that the proposed moratorium will protect existing rent-controlled and lower income tenants from eviction, the truth is that homeowners and landlords are again trying to increase their property values and rents, which benefit from restricted housing supply and lack of competition from newer, better housing. The fact remains that if you build more units, then more people will have a place to live and rents will stabilize; and if you have straightforward, realistic regulation and enforcement of the rental market, then there would be no need for rent control.\nIf you enjoy the honest opinion and deep analysis of cultural topics provided by Culture Critique, please donate to the site.", "domain": "geography"}

We started out just having a little family and neighborhood get together with the kids for Halloween. We went all out with Halloween themed snacks and a few games for the kids.\nBy 2008, my husband's brother and us decided to put together a little backyard spook trail for the family and neighborhood kids. And, even though it was small, we all had so much fun! The kids were too scared to go through it at first...lol!\nSo, this led to 2009 when we decided to take our \"backyard trail\" and turn it into a trail that snaked it's way around our property in Woodruff, SC. We decided to have a big cookout and invite more than just the neighborhood kids and family. We invited our sons football teams, their classes at school, and let our friends invite their friends. We ended up having at least 100 people show up! And it was all FREE!! Everybody had a blast! And several people told us we should have charged for it. So, we got to thinking...maybe we should do this every year?\nThen in 2010, we moved to Pacolet, SC. Pacolet is a small town in Spartanburg County, close to Gaffney and to Jonesville and Union. And this is where the Tunnel of Terror was born! The Tunnel of Terror is owned and operated by Jason, Chrissy, Jeff and Jeannie Bishop. We have been open for a few years now, and it just keeps getting a little bigger every year and alot better. When we started this trail, it took about 15 minutes to walk through the entire trail. We had about 9 scenes and the cost was $5. Now, we have many more scenes, it takes at least 30-35 minutes to walk through it (depending on how lost you get in our maze!), and costs $10. We change our scenes up every year, because we have many repeat customers and we like to keep things fresh and new. We also have a maze that is pitch black! We built it and we still get turned around in it..lol! You will see many of your favorite monsters here, too.\nWe hope to scare you soon!!!\n171 Cedar Street\nPacolet, SC 29372\n2013 Dates & Hours:\nEvery Friday and Saturday night during October\nand Halloween thru November 2nd.\nOpens at 8pm until...", "domain": "geography"}

When that town is small, the people who live in it and around the perimeter of it have noticed an increase in the quality of life.

Use our list of topic ideas for writing on village life and how it is better.\nVillage Life is Better: Essay Topics for College Students\n- Homes over shops-the fact that many of the homes are over the shops of the local businessmen and women make the entire hamlet more conscious of the owners. People are more willing to keep an eye for the shops and for the occupants above the shops. Crime then decreases in this setting. Because of this decrease, the entire area will probably just have two to three police officers. Everyone becomes a watchful eye.\n- Doctors and health care-the return of the doctor who makes house calls is an added benefit. This becomes possible because the doctor knows everyone and the area is smaller. There may not be a hospital in the immediate area, and that should be noted.\n- The town center-these types of living arrangements tend to have more fairs, local music, and craft type shows. The center of the town will have a large grassy area for these events. When the events are not being held the villagers will have their evening walks and weekend picnics at the town’s center.\n- Less driving-some people give up the automobile completely. People will walk more and therefore get in healthier shape. There are less car sounds and gas fumes. The fewer cars there are the less traffic accidents there are. Cars simply become small in number.\n- Schools and pubs-normally you do not think of the two things as being lumped together. But the local pub and the local school are based on the premise that everyone knows your name and everyone then cares for each other a bit more. A warmer sense of community then exists.\n- Churches-there will be a church if almost every denomination. You can have your pick of which one you wish to attend, or may not attend at all if you wish. The warm feeling extends to all in the area. This makes for a great place to raise a family.", "domain": "geography"}

Fascinated by the richness of Chile’s terroirs, Baroness Philippine decided in 1999 to make her own wine in the heart of the Maipo Valley: Escudo Rojo.\n20 years later, Baroness Philippine’s Chilean endeavour has been crowned with a wine which bears the initial of her first name: Baronesa P.\nBorn from the exceptional Maipo Valley terroir, this fine wine is a blend of five grape varieties in which Cabernet Sauvignon predominates. It stands out for its complex fruit and spice aromas and flavours, its elegant, patrician tannins and the element of magic linked to its history.\nChile: close to Baroness Philippine’s heart\nBaron Philippe de Rothschild’s only child, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild loved the theatre. After graduating from drama school (the Conservatoire National d’Art Dramatique in Paris) in 1958, she joined the Comédie Française. She ended her stage career on Baron Philippe’s death in 1988 in order to continue her father’s work, taking on all his duties and responsibilities within the family company, Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA.\nWhile respecting her father’s legacy, Baroness Philippine resolutely brought the family company into the 21st century. With infectious energy and a forceful personality, she devoted herself to modernising and expanding it.\nIn the late 1990s, Baroness Philippine decided to establish the family company in Chile. It was a move entirely in keeping with the pioneering spirit of her father, who had created Opus One, now generally reckoned to be one of the world’s great wines, in California in 1978. What attracted her was the potential of Chile’s terroirs and the possibility of making wines there that would meet her exacting standards.\nThe Maipo Valley was a natural choice: its geography and topography offer ideal conditions for growing vines and bringing grapes to perfect maturity. There is also an alchemy between the Maipo Valley terroir and Cabernet Sauvignon which produces high-quality wines endowed with a unique personality and an elegance worthy of the best.\nIn 1997, the Baroness teamed up with the Larraín and Guilisasti families, owners of Concha y Toro, to create a great Franco-Chilean wine, Almaviva, one of South America’s finest wines.\nConvinced by the potential of Chile’s terroirs, two years later she decided to establish Baron Philippe de Rothschild more firmly in Chile and launched Escudo Rojo.\nBaron Philippe de Rothschild’s winemakers draw on their expertise to reveal the exceptional potential of those terroirs. They apply parcel selection and the art of blending, the hallmarks of Baron Philippe de Rothschild wines, with the same passion and to the same high standards as for the wines made in France.\nMeticulous attention to detail\nin the vineyard…\nBaronesa P. is a special cuvée produced from a selection of the best micro-terroirs in the Chilean vineyard. It is the result of many years’ experience combined with a perfect understanding of the soils and vines, as well as the use of cutting-edge technology such as measurement of soil electroconductivity. Year after year, vintage after vintage, the selection has been refined and adjusted, culminating in this unique wine.\nBaronesa P. is the result of a precise and unique blend of five grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, which predominates, then Carmenere, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, each bringing its own aromatic and structural qualities. The varieties meld harmoniously to yield the perfect balance that is a hallmark of great wines.\nThe vines are 18 to 20 years old and mostly double-Guyot trained.\nThe Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Syrah vines, planted in 1997, 2003 and 2009 respectively, are grown on well-balanced alluvial soil made up of stony, pebbly, sandy clay loam and clay loam over 3 metre deep bedrock. They benefit from a Mediterranean-type climate, cooled by the cold air which flows down from the Andes Mountains at night, especially during the summer months. Creating a considerable difference between day- and night-time temperatures, it ensures ideal conditions for the grapes to reach perfect maturity.\nFor these varieties, both massal and clonal selections are used when planting.\nThe Carmenere and Petit Verdot, planted in 1998 from massal selections, are grown on deep clay soils which give a supple and elegant tannic structure.\nThey also benefit from a Mediterranean-type climate, though with a slightly milder average temperature which allows these two late-ripening varieties to achieve optimum concentration.\n… and in the winery\nHarvested by hand, the grapes are carefully laid in open crates to keep them intact until they reach the winery. After destemming, the berries are meticulously sorted, first by hand, then optically, so that only perfectly healthy and ripe grapes are retained. They are then lightly crushed and gravity-fed into the vats.\nThe wine is matured in French oak barrels, 65% new and 35% one year old. The 2018 wine was matured for 14 months, though the maturing period is adjusted for each vintage to ensure that the aromas and flavours that result from time spent in oak meld seamlessly into the whole.\nThe wine in each barrel is tasted and monitored day by day. The blending of the five varieties at the end of the maturing period is a crucial step, highly complex and requiring extreme precision. The exact proportion of each variety is determined after tastings by Baron Philippe de Rothschild’s expert winemakers. The standards are the same as for the very finest wines made at the family’s Pauillac estates. Excellence is the key.\nMeticulous attention is paid to each step, each element, each detail in the making of Baronesa P. Everything is closely monitored: the vines throughout the growth cycle, the grapes during vinification and the wine from maturing to bottling.\nThis fine wine is ready for drinking on release, though it will reach full expression after three to five years and keep for 10 to 15 years.\nComplexity, balance and elegance\nNestling in its dark glass bottle with a minimalist black label showing the Escudo Rojo (red shield) motif, a reference to the Rothschild family name, the wine has all the hallmarks of those signed by the leading lady of the wine world to which it pays tribute, Baroness Philippine.\nWith its different textures and materials – the slight roughness of the label, the smoothness of the crest, the coolness of the glass –, the bottle asks to be picked up, held and touched, a desire intensified by the almost mysterious elegance which emanates from it.\nDrinking Baronesa P. is a rich and exclusive experience, bringing all the senses into play as the complexity of the wine’s aromas and flavours takes the drinker into the heart of the finest Chilean terroirs. While they let their Chilean identity speak for itself, those terroirs also reveal a unique expression of the five grape varieties, blended into a perfectly harmonious whole.", "domain": "geography"}

That teaching style inspired me to gain a degree in Experiential Education and Environmental Science from SUNY Empire State University. Combining real-life hands-on experiences with a solid academic backbone is the way I prefer to learn. My early diving took place in the lakes and rivers surrounding the Catskill Mountain Range in Upstate NY. From there, I moved to South Florida and received his PADI Instructor rating in 1993. I worked on reef protection programs in the Caribbean, The Red Wolf Reintroduction Project in the Great Smoky Mountains National Parks Service, and developed environmental science-based programs for the state education systems of NY, NJ, and PA. In my spare time, I zig-zagged the globe, leading wilderness expeditions in the US, South America, Baja Mexico, and Southern Africa.\nIn 2003, I was invited to Hawaii and after a very short time decided it was time to settle down and stay in one place for a while. From 2003 to 2014 I spent my time exploring all Hawaii has to offer and sharing it with some of the most interesting people I have ever met. I lead the professional dive training program for Isalnd Divers on Hickam Air Force Base and Schofield Barracks. When I was not leading the Island Divers Professional Development Program, you could find me somewhere out there on my rebreather, stand-up paddleboard, or just trekking through the countryside.\nIn 2014, I was offered the opportunity to move to the Florida Keys. I moved to Key Largo Florida and started working with Rainbow Reef Dive Center leading the internship program and co-teaching the number 1 instructor development program in the world. I spent extensive amounts of time exploring the reefs & wrecks of the Florida Keys on rebreathers and traveling through the mangroves on Stand Up Paddleboards.\nIn 2018 I moved to Cayman Brac and became the Dive Operations Supervisors and led the CCR training program for Clearly Cayman/Cayman Brac Beach Resort. COVID 19, unfortunately, ended my stay in Cayman.\nIn 2020 Yippee Expeditions became my main focus and I now travel with my wife and our cat all over the world sharing the joys of the water world with all sorts of interesting characters. We are primarily based at Gilboa Quarry for the summer months and in North Florida for the winter months. Gilboa provides us with excellent access to training and the amazing diving of the Great Lakes Region.

They will gain an understanding of the ecological information needed to implement forest policy, and for forest management and conservation: what is known already, what assessment and research methods are used, and how the results can be applied. Applications relate, in particular, to ecosystem services, sustainable forest management, criteria and indicators, and adaptive management. A key feature of the learning outcomes are practical skills in planning, carrying out, and analysing and interpreting the data from three forest assessments: (i) (tree) biodiversity; (ii) tree community and species population composition, structure and dynamics; (iii) natural regeneration and secondary succession. There is a strong emphasis on learning by doing.\nThe module will cover general principles relevant across a wide range of biomes, but primarily natural forests with high biodiversity, that are dominated by natural dynamic processes. Its focus is on the methods used to assess plant biodiversity, stand structure and dynamics, and analyse and interpret the resulting data. It is designed as a specialist module for which students will require knowledge of plant population and community ecology (from previous study or preparatory reading). Because of the limit of available time the module gives minimal coverage of ecological theory, natural history, animals or UK-specific methodologies. The module is dominated by practical sessions and there is a strong emphasis on learning by doing. The syllabus starts with an overview of world-forest resources (including the challenges of their definition and classification). It will assess the scale, rates, distribution and causes of deforestation and forest degradation. Then their implication of global and local ecosystem services will be considered. There will be a brief overview of forest policy issues, instruments and initiatives, leading to forest management and conservation. A brief overview of ecological theory and knowledge applied to forests is then provided, with emphasis on landscape ecology, forest dynamics, ecological diversity of tree species, the ecological basis of silviculture, and the maintenance of biodiversity. It incorporates an overview of welsh woodland and ecology as the context for the setting of the field practicals.\nTeaching and learning methods\n- Seven two-hour sessions and one one-hour session. The two-hour sessions will comprise one hour of lecture and one hour of seminar. The one-hour session will be a seminar at the end.\n- Three all-day field trips incorporating 5 hours and 20 minutes of learning time each.\n- Three three-hour lab practicals.\nTiming depends on module duration: Each lab practical should be on the day following the corresponding field practical.\nIn addition, the assessed seminar presentations will need to be timetabled near the end of the module.\n(i) Demonstrate understanding of the ecological information needed to implement forest policy and for forest management and conservation, (ii) Analyse and interpret existing information, (iii) Plan and carry out, analyse, present and interpret the results of plant biodiversity and ecological assessments, (iv) Demonstrate understanding of the principles and use of modelling, monitoring and experimentation, and (v) Make recommendations about the application of results for future forest assessment and management.", "domain": "geography"}

Amy still had cellphone service and watched as locals posted videos of flooding on Facebook. ‘I saw a video of one of the bridges being swept away. I was like woah! But it didn’t cross my mind that there was any possibility that things would get worse—that rivers would burst their banks.’\nOne of Amy’s flatmates had gone down to the beach to check out the debris from the storm, while the other slept in. The trio had no way of knowing their lives were about to change forever.\nAt 10.30am an emergency alert came through, instructing residents of Taradale and those living south of the Tutaekuri River to evacuate, but the alert didn’t include Awatoto. A second alert came soon after, but again Awatoto was not specifically included. ‘I really wasn’t sure what to do, as we are geographically a bit higher than the surrounding areas. But in hindsight, if you get an emergency alert anywhere near you, it’s time to go,’ says Amy.\nAmy headed down the driveway to find her dad. As she did so, Amy saw that the golf course that abuts their property had turned into a lake. Only 20 minutes had passed since the first alert. The water was rising rapidly, and it was clearly time to leave. Taking a few minutes to run back to the cottage and rouse her flatmate, she hoisted some precious belongings to safer heights, grabbed the cat and headed down the driveway.\n‘As we walked toward the road the water was already waist deep and that’s when panic set in. I had gumboots on and even though it wasn’t a super strong current at the time, it was hard to walk. Dad had backed down the road and was waiting for us, but the water was rushing past the bottom of the car door. We jumped in and drove to higher ground to re-group and consider our options. We’d just left everything behind!’\nAmy and her household escaped with their lives and spent the next five weeks with extended family. Camping equipment was a godsend, and the now expanded household was self-sufficient thanks to solar powered batteries and gas bottles until the power was restored a week later.\nAmy returned to the cottage once the water receded. ‘I walked into my room and broke down in tears. I thought, Oh Lord, I’ve lost everything. I was in shock as I tried to take in what I was seeing and wondered what I was going to do.\nA registered nurse, Amy is well suited to the profession. ‘My faith is strong and that is part of the reason I’m a nurse—I’m the type of person who wants to help others.’\nShe was first introduced to God by her nana, who used to take her to church and planted the first seeds of faith. A Bible in Schools teacher watered those seeds, and then Amy found her way to youth group at Napier Salvation Army as a teenager. Encountering God at an Easter Camp in 2015, Amy’s faith blossomed. In 2019 she became a soldier of The Salvation Army and is now a member of the corps leadership team. Amy is the only Christian in her immediate family.\n‘Getting back into a routine of being present with God has been hard following the shock and devastation of the cyclone,’ she says. ‘But God has given me the strength I needed to not just get through it, but also to support Dad and my family.’\nAmy offers two lessons from her cyclone experience. First, ‘no matter how hard it is—whatever kind of storm you are facing, whether it’s literal or metaphorical—take time to feel the emotions. Don’t push them down. Be present in that moment.’ Second, Amy suggests, ‘Let go of what you can’t control. Acknowledge the feelings but accept there are things you can’t change that will prevent you from moving forward. Give it to God and ask for his strength to get you through.’\nIn a Facebook post a few days after the cyclone, Amy expressed gratitude to God and her family. ‘We survived,’ she wrote. ‘This has been one of the most traumatic and frightening things to experience. I know as I write this that others in our community weren’t as lucky. My heart goes out to everyone affected.’\nAmy and her family have not yet returned to their home but, thanks to insurance, renovations are due to begin later this year. Despite so much disruption, Amy is still thankful.\n‘I’m most thankful that we had a safe place to go, and that we were able to remain together. I’m also thankful to all the people who even now still check up on me—especially those at church. It’s so nice that people haven’t forgotten that this is still big for me; six months on and people are still caring for me.’\nKia kaha Hawke’s Bay!\n‘When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you.’Isaiah 43:2", "domain": "geography"}

Since we are neighbors, we have visited back and forth. We have traveled there, and many New Orleans residents have traveled here. Many have decided to live here permanently.\nNew Orleans holds very fond memories for me. We flew in there in the 1970’s for a sales meeting. My job was to produce color 8×10 photos of the top salesmen. My backdrop was a lush courtyard outside of our French Quarter hotel. The shots turned out later to be hits with the winners and with their wives, too.\nThat night we all strolled down Bourbon Street,just as millions of other tourists have before and since. And we heard the familiar sounds of gut-bucket jazz coming through open doors, caught glimpses of skinny young women dancing on the bars, smelled the earthy and distinctive creole food, and watched others like ourselves going in the opposite direction. If I have nostalgia for those memories, just think how very bittersweet these descriptions are with readers who are intimate friends with NOLA.\nShe is still at risk. Yahoo!News reports that,\nDespite aggressive efforts to repair the New Orleans levee system following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, it isn’t clear yet whether it could withstand a sizable hurricane this year, the head of the Army Corps of Engineers conceded Saturday.\nThe New Orleans levees may not hold, according to a similar CBS News article. To quote,\nAs Gulf Coast residents are marking the one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, they were hit with the news that Tropical Storm Ernesto is headed toward the Gulf of Mexico and could become the first hurricane of the 2006 season. Then New Orleans residents were told Saturday that the partially repaired levee system may not hold up in a strong storm. . .\nJust a few miles south of New Orleans, St. Bernard parish took a direct hit from Katrina. One year later, few of houses are habitable, and as many as 14,000 people are still in government trailers — trailers that won’t withstand any real wind.\n“It would be almost a death sentence if they decide to stay in those locations with the approach of a Category 2 or 3 storm,” Jack Stephens, St. Bernard parish’s sheriff told Bowers.\nDespite aggressive efforts to repair the system following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, the head of the Army Corps of Engineers conceded Saturday that it isn’t clear yet whether it could withstand a hurricane with a heavy storm surge this year.\nNew Orleans stands at a cross roads now. It seems it could go either way for this unique city. The New York Times has a very good story about this written by Adam Nossiter. The author has done a very thorough piece of investigative journalism about what may be in NOLA’s future. To quote,\nAt one edge of this city’s future are the extravagant visions of its boosters. Awash in federal cash, the New Orleans they dream of will be an arts-infused mecca for youthful risk-takers, a boomtown where entrepreneurs can repair to cool French Quarter bars in ancient buildings after a hard day of deal making.\nAt the other extreme are the gloomy predictions of the pessimists. New Orleans will be Detroit, they say, a sickly urban wasteland abandoned by the middle class. A moldering core will be surrounded by miles of vacant houses, with wide-open neighborhoods roamed by drug dealers and other criminals. The new New Orleans will be merely a grim amplification of its present unpromising self, the pessimists say.", "domain": "geography"}

Available from: https://www.ijcfm.org/text.asp?2021/7/2/130/333664\n| Introduction|| |\nAt a time of unpredictable challenges for health, one trend which is certain is population aging and this demographic transition will impact on almost all aspects of society. India currently comprises 8% of total population which is expected to increase to 12.7% by 2025.,\nThe World Health Organization (WHO) has defined quality of life (QOL) as “an individual's perception of life in the context of culture and value system, in which he or she lives and in relation to his or her goals, expectations, standards, and concerns.” It is a broad concept covering the individual's physical health, mental state, level of independence, social relationships, spiritual beliefs, and the environment.\nThe share of elderly population in Haryana is 8.7% as per census 2011; higher proportion is present in rural areas as compared to urban area. During the past decade, there are numerous studies describing the QoL in different geographical areas of India, but only one study has been conducted in Haryana in 2013. There is no recent literature on elderly of Haryana region. Hence, this study was conducted to assess different domains of QoL and its determinants among the elderly population of a rural area of Faridabad.\n| Material & Methods|| |\nThe study was conducted among the rural elderly population residing in the field practice area of the rural health training center attached with the Department of Community Medicine of a Medical College of Faridabad, Haryana, over a period of 4 months from October 2018 to January 2019. The total rural population served by the center is about 9600 and geriatric population is about 800 (approximately 8%). A community-based cross-sectional design was adopted to study the QoL and its sociodemographic and health-related determinants among the elderly population. All elderly aged 60 years and above were included in the study, while elderly with severe illness not able to answer the questions and those who did not give consent to participate in the study were excluded from the study. Considering expected standard deviation of QoL score among elderly to be 10.97% and tolerable error of 1.5% at 95% confidence interval, sample size was calculated as 206. After accounting for nonresponse and rounding off, 300 elderly were included for study. A list of elderly was obtained from the records of health workers beforehand, and subjects were selected using simple random sampling.\nThe WHO-QOL (BREF) is one of the best-known instruments for assessing QOL of life which has been adopted in number of countries including India. It contains 26 items covering four domains of QOL., A predesigned and pretested structured questionnaire in local language related to the QOL of elderly people devised by the WHO (WHOQOL) was used for the study. It took into consideration four domains of QOL, i.e. physical, psychological, environmental, and social relationships.\nData collection was done by undergraduate medical students after being explained the purpose and objectives of the study. The study subjects were interviewed at their homes. For comparison of mean scores, t-test and ANOVA were applied. Level of significance was set at 5%. Multiple linear regression (MLR) model was run to identify predictors of QOL. There was no outlier and autocorrelation in our regression data, and the assumption for normality and homoscedasticity were met. Statistical analysis was done using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 21 (IBM Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).\nThe study was conducted following approval from the Institutional Ethical Committee (134/A/11/16/Academics/MC/2016/125), and informed consent was obtained from study participants after explaining the objectives of the study.\n| Results and Discussion|| |\nA total of 300 elderly were interviewed with a mean age of 67.1 ± 6.9 years. Females (56%) outnumbered males. Similar findings have been observed in the studies carried out in Tamil Nadu by Sowmiya and Nagarani, Jacob et al. and Shah et al. in Gujarat. It is because the life expectancy among women is more than males. Majority of geriatric population were either illiterate or just literate (can read and write) in current study. More than half of population was reported to be illiterate by studies conducted in rural Ambala (63.9%) and rural Dehradun (60.5%), rural Etawah (66.5%), rural Wardha (74.75%) and rural Dakshina Kannada (62.9%). Other studies also reported majority of their population to be illiterate but not among more than 50% of population.,,,, Major part of our study population was retired (78%) and 42% were homemaker. Shah et al., from Ahmedabad reported 20% retired and Karmakar et al., from Tripura had 18.4% retired geriatrics in their study which was much lower compared to our study. Contrastingly 90.8% of study population in a study by Joseph et al., were not working. More than two third were currently married in current analysis. Around two thirds (66%) were living with spouse and children similar to majority of studies from rural parts of country. Studies from urban Gujarat and Pondicherry reported a lower proportion of elderly living in joint families. One third of elderly was economically dependent in current study. This was reported to be 34% by Krtika et al., and 49% by Bansal et al., in their study from Dehradun and Etawah respectively., Majority of population belonged to lower middle class of socio economic status similar to those reported from studies of Tripura and Ambala.,\nThe mean total QOL score among the elderly in the current study was 61.45 ± 14.78. Mean QoL score was highest in psychological health domain and lowest in social relationships. Rural elderly probably tends to enjoy the power and have positive feeling about future due to traditional rituals hence scoring well on psychological domain in the current study. Similar findings were reported in a study from Puducherry. Low social domain scores in our study points toward changing scenario of social structure of country with increasing number of nuclear families and decreasing interpersonal interactions. However, Karmakar et al. in their study conducted in a rural area of Tripura found that mean QoL scores were maximum for social relationship domain and lowest mean score was seen in psychological domain. This difference may be due to difference in the sociodemographic profile of their study population having majority of males and 45% of their population were in 60–70-year age group.\nThe QoL scores were excellent in 11 (3.7%) subjects, good in 91 (30.3%) subjects, fair in 156 (52%) subjects, and poor in 42 (14%) subjects. Higher number of males had excellent/good QoL as compared to females, and this difference was found to be statistically significant (P = 0.002) [Figure 1]. However, community-based studies conducted in North Indian states by Qadri et al., and Kamra reported a higher number of elderlies enjoying a good QoL (68.2%) with <15% elderly having a fair and poor QoL. They also reported better QoL among males, those who were currently married and graduates which is similar to our study findings.\nAccording to our study the distribution of four domain scores in different age groups shows that the mean physical, psychological, social and environmental score was highest in >80 years of age group whereas the lowest was observed in 71-80 years age group. Findings are non -concordant with the studies by Hameed et al., and Mudy et al., and Kumar et al., wherein they found an association between increasing age and reduction of QOL but similar findings to our study were reported by Ghosh et al., and Shah et al., where they found no significant association with age. A higher social relationship QOL score was reported among illiterate or just literate and no other trend was noticed. Which is non concordant with the studies by Qadri et al., Kritika et al., and Shah et al. But similar to our study again no relation was reported by Bansal et al., and Karmakar et al., in their studies in rural areas of Etawah and Tripura respectively. Contrary to the fact that literacy brings better understanding of life and better opportunities of livelihood of elderly the population of our study did not rely on education to improve their QOL. Our study states the mean psychological score was highest for people in business or self-employed (currently) and lowest among homemakers in all domains while the physical health score was highest among retired population and social relationship was best in agricultural workers. The present study reported the mean score in all domains was lower among divorced/separated/widowed population as compared to currently married population. Concordant to our study results Kritika et al., from rural Dehradun also reported higher score in all domains among married elderly. Studies by Ghosh et al., and Mudey et al., conducted in rural areas of India reported a higher psychological domain score among married elderly. The study in rural Gujarat by Shah et al., reported a significant association between currently married and environmental domain score. Elderly living with their spouse are more cared and take interest in social activities hence a better score in all domains. In our study results mean scores were highest among the geriatric population who were economically independent in all domains except social relationship domain. In social relationship domain the mean score was highest in partially dependent population and lowest among independent population. It is obvious that those who are economically independent are currently working and living on their own. In both these scenarios the elderly tends to spend less time in social circle. Various other studies had a similar finding where financial independence was significantly associated with high QOL score for instance those of Kritika et al., Ghosh et al., and Bansal et al., in rural areas of Dehradun, Etawah and Bihar respectively.\nThe demographic and morbidity variables were subjected to Multiple Linear Regression, and it was found that only education, musculoskeletal, and central nervous system (CNS) disorders are significant predictors with QoL as dependent variable. CNS disorders had a higher impact as compared to education and musculoskeletal disorders by comparing standardized coefficient (beta) (0.178 for CNS disorders, 0.148 for education, and 0.145 for musculoskeletal disorders) [Table 1].\n|Table 1: Multiple linear regression model to identify predictors of overall quality of life|\nClick here to view\nThe current study revealed that age and financial dependence were not found to be associated with QoL while better socio economic status (above poverty line) had better quality of life in all domains. Similar findings have been reported by Praveen and Rani in Tamil Nadu, wherein age, marital status, and occupation did not have a significant association on QoL. Thadathil et al. in their study in rural Kerala found that occupation, higher income, 60–69-year age group, staying with partner, and absence of comorbidity were found to be the determinants of better QOL score. Studies by Ghosh et al. and Mudey et al. conducted in rural areas of India reported a higher psychological domain score among married elderly similar to results of the current study. Elderly living with their spouse are more cared and take interest in social activities hence a better score in all domains.\nEducation was found to be the determinant of overall QoL among the elderly with literate elderly enjoying better QoL as compared to illiterate ones. This finding is concordant with findings of Hameed et al., Raj et al., Kritika et al., Qadri et al., and Kumar et al. Literacy brings better opportunities of livelihood and better understanding of life processes, thereby leading to better QoL among literate elderly.\nThe present study had certain limitations. The study involved dealing with elderly population and assessment of QoL using a qualitative scale; hence, there are chances of recall and response bias. The study was confined to a small rural area of Faridabad; hence, generalizability of results may be an issue. Furthermore, QoL is a multidimensional parameter, and hence, its results might have been affected by some unknown confounders.\n| Conclusion|| |\nThe QoL scores among elderly of Faridabad were found to be suboptimal with scores in social relationship domain to be lowest. Periodic health checkups and strengthening of community care need to be done for early detection and control of the morbidities among the elderly. Various health promotion measures including recreational activities and environmental modification may help in improving QoL among the elderly. However, QoL is a multidimensional concept and more extensive research into the factors having a direct bearing on QoL needs to be undertaken.\nFinancial support and sponsorship\nConflicts of interest\nThere are no conflicts of interest.\n| References|| |\nKumar PB, Udyar SE, Arun D, Sai S.

More and more people bought, sold and invested in the most popular cryptocurrencies, and searched even more intensively for information on whether such an investment decision would be profitable for them. If you’re wondering what the current situation is in the cryptocurrency market, an analysis of search history is a good place to start.\nSaxo analyzed this data to find out what questions nationals of each country are asking about the cryptocurrency market in 2022 and which currencies are of greatest interest. This study was conducted prior to the cryptocurrency market crash, which marked the spring of 2022, and continued market turmoil is likely to affect the future behavior of global investors.\nIn which countries is the interest in cryptocurrencies the greatest?\nFirst of all, it is worth checking the inhabitants of which countries – relative to population size – have most often entered cryptocurrency-related queries into their search engines. The US and the UK are the leaders here: out of these two countries, 8.21% and 8.1% of all cryptocurrency queries were made, respectively. Given that these countries are home to some of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world and major institutional investors, this should come as no surprise to anyone.\nWhich currencies are the most popular?\nWhich currencies are the most popular? Based on the data from global search results, you can see considerable variation between countries and regions. For example, Aussies are definitely the query leaders on Cardano and XRP – the cryptocurrencies that have been among the most popular in 2021, although in 2022 both have so far seen significant declines and supported.\nIn turn, information about Ethereum – the mainstay of the cryptocurrency market – was most often searched for in Canada, the United States and Nigeria. The best countries for cryptocurrency in this respect are also a number of smaller countries that have had a lot of requests made, such as Kosovo, Singapore, and the Netherlands.\nCryptocurrency Keywords in 2022\nIf you look at it from a broader perspective, you can get some interesting insights into the most popular terms around the world. Those related to Dogecoin were by far the most searched – up to 18.65% of all searches were for the popular cryptocurrency meme.\nSome of them are probably related to Dogecoin’s impressive but short-lived price spike in May 2021 after Elon Musk tweeted about it, making many people aware that such a meme currency exist. At the same time, the second most popular group of queries (15.74% of searches) was for NFT. Subsequently, research was done for the latest cryptocurrencies, including shiba, XRP, and solana.\nWhere to buy the most popular cryptocurrencies?\nIt’s one thing to research cryptocurrencies out of curiosity, but it’s another to research them with the intention of buying them. Therefore, we analyzed the data to find out which currencies were sought after by country investment information before the current stock market crash.\nWe again found significant regional differences. In Singapore, Canada and the United States, the most frequently searched search term was “where to buy cardano”, reflecting the growing popularity of the cryptocurrency. On the other hand, “where to buy ethereum” has been discussed in the US, Britain, the Philippines, and India, with the US and UK also topping the list of queries. information on purchasing brine, TRX and EXRP.\nGlobal Cryptocurrency Price Predictions\nIn the world of cryptocurrencies, everything depends on the price. It makes sense that cryptocurrency holders seek out expertly crafted price predictions to get an idea of what the fate of a given investment may be. We have therefore analyzed the requests for different price predictions by country with relatively surprising results.\nIn Kosovo, the price predictions of the same shiba inu cryptocurrency sparked the most interest, while people in Cyprus excelled in investigating the future price of brine. Interestingly, the Irish were more often looking for cardano price predictions, while the British were more interested in the future price of tether.\nCryptocurrencies are an emerging asset class that is inherently volatile and difficult to monitor. It is therefore understandable that questions about the security and protection of cryptocurrencies are an important research topic.\nWe saw a lot of inquiries about whether bitcoin could be ‘hacked’ from the US and UK, while people in Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa were the most asked questions. frequently asked questions about whether bitcoin is legal.\nSome were more interested in answering questions about recent events – residents of Britain, Nigeria and India were at the forefront in investigating the causes of bitcoin’s crash, most likely as a result of a significant drop in the price of this cryptocurrency in November. 2021. Of course, the recent drop in the bitcoin exchange rate could trigger a new wave of similar demands from around the world.\nWhich countries are most interested in NFT?\n2021 was marked by the NFT. Around the world, the number of requests for non-tradable tokens increased sharply after reports of the most expensive transactions appeared in the media. The “bursting” of the NFT-related speculative bubble in early 2022 has also likely sparked increased interest in this little-known new asset.\nWhile some were quick to recognize NFT as a passing trend, some countries have shown particularly strong interest in these assets. Singapore, the United States, Australia and New Zealand wanted to know more about them, asking questions such as “what does NFT mean” and “how does NFT work”.\nMoreover, these countries were mostly interested in going further by asking how NFTs can be purchased. It is somewhat surprising that UK cryptocurrency enthusiasts showed much less interest in NFT.\nThe NFT carbon footprint\nToday, a new generation of ethical investments is driven by environmental, social responsibility and corporate governance (ESG) issues. With the development of ESG and just after the COP26 summit, we saw considerable interest in the environmental impact of NFT.\nIn the United States, Great Britain and the Philippines, terms such as “the environmental impact of NFTs” and “harmful to the environment” were searched for more frequently than in other countries. This likely reflects growing awareness of the large carbon footprint of many cryptocurrencies and a desire to avoid contributing to it via NFT.\nAs keen market watchers already know, cryptocurrency mining is incredibly damaging to the environment – the carbon footprint of bitcoin mining alone is greater than the carbon footprint of all of Nova Scotia. Zeeland.\nWhat about cryptocurrency funds?\nBased on the data obtained from our clients, it can be seen that the interest in the cryptocurrency market goes beyond the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies. We’ve looked at some of the most popular products for cryptocurrency monitoring offered at Saxo Bank, including ETNs, ETFs and ETCs, allowing you to speculate on cryptocurrency prices without having to buy currencies. Of these, ETN is the most popular.\nThey are similar to ETFs except that they are unsecured debt securities issued by a bank and do not involve the taking of assets as such. The most popular cryptocurrency ETNs were Ethereum Tracker EUR XBT Provider, Bitcoin Tracker EUR XBT Provider, and VanEck Bitcoin ETN.\nThe most popular cryptocurrency pairs\nAt Saxo Bank, we offer market operations crypto forex in pairs combining three cryptocurrencies (bitcoin, litecoin and ethereum) with three fiat currencies (USD, EUR, JPY). Several currency pairs have proven particularly popular with our floating currency clients.\nThe largest of these is the bitcoin/USD pair, which accounted for 40.82% of the cryptocurrency trading volume on our platforms.\nEthereum/USD and Litecoin/USD followed, accounting for 35% and 10% of trading volume respectively. On the other hand, cryptocurrency pairs using other lesser fiat currencies constituted a minority of total transactions.\nThe Saxo Bank Analytics Team", "domain": "geography"}

The small city in Northern Arizona sits at 7,000 feet above sea level, surrounded by aspen and pine forest at the base of the San Francisco Peaks. It represents a totally different version of Arizona than the cactus-strewn, sunbaked desert the state usually brings to mind. A true four-season climate inspires diverse versions of outdoor fun, all surrounded by outstanding mountain scenery and profound cultural heritage.\nLong a hub for visiting the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff is also within a day trip’s distance of seven other national parks and monuments, seven Arizona state parks and hundreds of volcanoes. Want some more astonishing facts about this beautiful city in Northern Arizona?\n- Flagstaff sits within the world’s largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest.\n- In 2001 it was declared the world’s first International Dark Sky City.\n- Historic Route 66 cuts through the middle of Flagstaff.\n- It’s one of the snowiest cities in the United States, while summers are sunny and mild.\n- Flagstaff has been called one of the darkest, quietest and cleanest places on Earth.\nThere are way more than seven reasons to plan a trip to Flagstaff, but the following pursuits stand out as highlights of this fantastic vacation destination.\nExplore Downtown Flagstaff\nDowntown Flagstaff is picturesque, largely walkable and historic, with many of its buildings dating to the 1890s. Stop at the Flagstaff Visitor Center, housed in the old Santa Fe railroad depot on Route 66, to pick up maps and guides for self-guided tours. Flagstaff offers more than 50 miles of urban trails, plus 14 miles of the original Route 66. Wander through the Southside Historic District, hit up the brewery trail or public art trail, or join a guided historic walking tour or food tour. Stop in at some of Flagstaff’s lovely boutiques, galleries, craft breweries and restaurants as well.\nHead to the High Country\nFlagstaff sits at around 7,000 feet, but nearby mountains invite you to have fun at even higher altitudes. The easiest way to reach a tall mountain peak near Flagstaff is with a trip to the Arizona Snowbowl, just 7 miles north of downtown. In winter it’s a bustling ski resort, but from Memorial Day weekend through mid-October you can ride the Scenic Gondola from the 9,500-foot base of an extinct volcano, all the way up to its 11,500-foot summit. The ride is a thrill and the scenery is incredible, with expansive views across the San Francisco volcanic fields. You’ll gain a new appreciation of Northern Arizona’s dramatic, dynamic landscape. On the clearest days you might see as far as Sedona and the Grand Canyon. More summer fun is available with summer tubing and a bungee trampoline.\nOther High Country destinations near the city include the Arboretum at Flagstaff, located within the Coconino National Forest. It showcases more than 700 species of native flora and fauna amid the ponderosa pines. Go fishing, canoeing or paddle-boarding at Upper Lake Mary, or head to Arizona Nordic Village for hiking, biking and horseback riding.\nCheck out the Museum of Northern Arizona\nThe Museum of Northern Arizona is an outstanding institution, just off San Francisco Peaks Scenic Road a few miles from downtown Flagstaff. The museum is a nonprofit dedicated to the natural and cultural heritage of Northern Arizona. Permanent exhibits cover geology and paleontology, with displays of full dinosaur skeletons, fossils and meteorites, and the Native Peoples of the Colorado Plateau, telling the stories of 10 local tribes. Native peoples have inhabited the Colorado Plateau for around 12,000 years. The exhibit showcases distinct cultures, languages and history through timelines, striking artifacts and contemporary jewelry, ceramics and other works of art.\nRotating art exhibitions feature exemplary works related to the history, cultures and landscapes of the region. There’s a Discovery Room with games, crafts and books for younger visitors, and you can pick up a kids’ activity kit at the front desk. After exploring the museum, be sure to take a walk on the Rio de Flag Nature Trail across the street. It’s mostly flat, with three looping sections covering forest, canyon and amphibian pond ecosystems. The shady aspen, oak and pine habitat is home to lots of animal life, so look out for acorn woodpeckers, Albert squirrels and the noisy, bright blue Steller’s jay.\nTour Three National Monuments Near Flagstaff\nThere are an impressive seven national parks and monuments within 80 miles of Flagstaff, and it’s possible to explore the closest three all in a single day. Sunset Crater and Wupatki national monuments share a loop road off Highway 89, so it makes sense to combine them into one trip. The southern end of the loop road is a 30-minute drive from downtown Flagstaff, and the northern exit is about 45 minutes away. Walnut Canyon National Monument is 20 miles east of Flagstaff.\nAll three of these destinations feature a visitor center with museum exhibits, plus several short trails. There’s no access to the backcountry due to sensitive ecology and archeological remains. This means extensive hikes are not an option, so the average visitor will spend at most a few hours at each monument.\nSunset Crater Volcano National Monument\nThe cinder cone garnished with hardened black lava flows that today is Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument was once a valley inhabited by thriving Native communities. Around 900 years ago, those inhabitants – the Sinagua people – hastily vacated the valley in response to recurring earthquakes and fleeing wildlife. This was a smart move, as those quakes preceded the most recent volcanic eruption in Arizona.\nLava flows for miles transformed this section of the Colorado Plateau, and their jet-black, glossy undulations appear remarkably recent even today. Almost a century after the eruption, only sparse, gnarly pines and smatterings of wildflowers have popped up from crevices among the lava. Visitors can admire this unusual landscape on the one-mile, self-guided Lava Flow Trail.\nWupatki National Monument\nFrom around 500 to 1225 AD, thousands of Sinagua lived in complex rock-walled pueblos north of Flagstaff, the ruins of which are protected as Wupatki National Monument. They were farmers, hunters, gatherers and traders, with extensive networks reaching as far as the Pacific and Gulf coasts. The desert and mountain landscapes around the monument were cooler, wetter and more fertile than today, and could support large, dynamic communities.\nAfter visiting Sunset Crater, it’s interesting to learn that many of those who fled before its eruption settled at Wupatki. Falling ash from the volcano enriched the soils and supported agriculture across the region.\nToday, the remaining red sandstone walls in geometric forms hint at life in the pueblos, and are stunning examples of ancient architecture. Along with the desert and mountain backdrop, the ruins and their shifting shadows are captivating, and so very photogenic. The largest structure, Wupatki Ruin, would have been the largest and tallest multi-story building in the entire region, with over 100 rooms. There are numerous secondary structures nearby. Visitors can explore Wupatki and two other pueblo complexes via short, self-guided trails. Be sure to stop at a natural blowhole that vents cold air upward from an unknowable underground cave system. It’s as much a curiosity today as it would have been a century ago.\nWalnut Canyon National Monument\nAnother intriguing monument making up the legacy of the ancient Sinagua is Walnut Canyon, 20 miles outside Flagstaff. The 600-foot-deep canyon carved by Walnut Creek yields varied and abundant vegetation across its many microclimates. Some 800 years ago, its unique biosphere supported a substantial Sinagua community. They carved more than 80 cliff dwellings into the natural recesses of the canyon’s limestone walls. They also built pithouses around the canyon rim, with each type of housing offering its own benefits for survival.\nVisitors to Walnut Canyon National Monument can see 25 cliff dwellings by hiking the 1-mile Island Trail, a very steep loop trail that takes you 185 feet down into the canyon and back. Bear in mind that the monument’s 7,000-foot elevation makes the hike additionally strenuous. Easier to stroll is the shorter, entirely flat Rim Trail through pinon pine and juniper forest. It features two canyon overlooks and extensive, very informative signage covering local flora and fauna and its historical and cultural applications.\nDon’t Miss Flagstaff’s Lunar Landmarks\nAs the site of several very significant achievements in astrology and space travel, Flagstaff is justly proud of its lunar landmarks. Did you know that Pluto was discovered from Flagstaff in 1930? And that every astronaut who ever walked on the Moon trained in Flagstaff? Sunset Crater, Cinder Lake Crater Field and Meteor Crater, all in the vicinity of Flagstaff, were Apollo Astronaut training sites, and key to instrument development and lunar mapping.\nFor anyone interested in space, Flagstaff’s lunar landmarks are must-see spots. Be sure to schedule a visit to the Lowell Observatory, famous for the discovery of Pluto. A historic facility dating to 1894, it features vintage telescopes still in working order along with modern equipment. General admission covers guided and self-guided tours, plus science talks and stargazing. Six state-of-the-art telescopes are available at the Giovale Open Deck Observatory, and you can also experience solar viewing through the Hydrogen-Alpha Lunt Telescope.\nThe Earth’s best-preserved meteor impact site is 35 minutes outside Flagstaff at the Meteor Crater and Barringer Space Museum. About 50,000 years ago, during the last ice age, a 150-foot-across iron-nickel meteorite crashed into the Earth at 26,000 miles per hour. In a few seconds, the once-flat plain grazed upon by mammoths and mastodons became an inverted dome over 2.4 miles in circumference and 700 feet deep. You can explore the crater and learn more about its creation on a guided rim tour. Or, observe it from the indoor viewing room, outdoor deck and self-guided trails. The Meteor Crater is also notable as a NASA training site, chosen for its close resemblance to the surface of the Moon.\nWhere to Stay in Flagstaff: Little America Hotel\nLittle America Hotel is the only AAA Four Diamond hotel in Flagstaff, testament to its upscale ambiance and impressive design. Accommodations are in four two-story lodge buildings laid out like a village community in a quiet, 500-acre woodland setting. The main building features a grand lobby where the design evokes the local land and culture through artistic installations of geodes around an enormous pine-clad fireplace. It also houses the gift shop and Silver Pine Restaurant, which specializes in elevated global comfort food and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus happy hour. In-room dining is available from the restaurant menu as well.\nLittle America Hotel offers 247 guest rooms, all beautifully appointed with goose-down bedding, 55-inch flat-screen HD televisions and large, marble-clad bathrooms. Choose from guest rooms with two queen beds, two queens plus a sofa sleeper, or a king room. More spacious options include two-bedroom apartment suites with full kitchens, fireplace suites, governor’s suites and presidential suites. All guest rooms feature custom furnishings, with rustic-chic raw-edge headboards and desks, several plush chairs, and a built-in convenience center with a microwave, refrigerator and Keurig coffee maker.\nGuests enjoy access to a fitness center, outdoor pool and hot tub, horseshoe pit, volleyball court and children’s playground. There’s also a 2.5-mile hiking trail on the southern side of the property, winding among the ponderosa pines. These recreation options are all pleasingly shady and scenic, and a very attractive feature of the hotel. An adjacent 24-hour Travel Center with a convenience store, gas station and coin laundry is another asset to the property. Its Hot Grill and Deli offers casual fare, including signature soft serve, for dine-in and to-go orders. It’s really handy for inexpensive meals at all hours, and for picking up road-trip provisions for your Flagstaff area day trips.\nLittle America Hotel\n2515 East Butler Avenue\nFlagstaff, AZ 86004\nCalifornia News Press and its contributors received goods, services and/or other professional courtesies to facilitate this review.

Experience the changing seasons from carpets of snowdrops and daffodils in spring to spectacular rhododendrons in summer and glorious leaf colour in autumn.\nThe award-winning Victorian Walled Garden is a treat for any garden lover. Restored in 1997 to its late Victorian splendour, the garden is a nostalgic journey to the heyday of kitchen gardening. Visit recreations of working and living areas in the potting shed, bothy, and head gardener’s office.\nVictorian vegetable, flower and trainer fruit varieties are grown using traditional organic techniques. In the glasshouses visitors can see exotic ornamentals and luxury fruits like grapes and peaches.\nGlasshouses line the one acre garden on its warmest, south facing wall. The remainder is divided in to four large vegetable plots by broad gravel paths.\nDouble herbaceous borders line the central pathway. It is also spanned by wrought iron hoops supporting roses, clematis and honeysuckle. Trained apples and pears grow on the hoops over the main crossing path and also on the garden walls.\nThe Peach Case is home to fan-trained peaches and nectarines. It also houses our collection of Victorian and scented leaf pelargoniums. In the Vinery, Victorian varieties of grapes grow on a single rod system and on benches there is a good collection of Victorian and species fuchsias. Tender vegetables, like tomatoes and aubergines, grow in the beds and on the rear wall are passionflowers and the beautiful Clematis Florida ‘Alba’. Outside the Vinery in summer there is a superb sub-tropical bedding display with cannas, palms, dahlias and caster oil plants, among many other species.\nIn the Fern House there are displays of tender ferns and orchids. The Display House is home to exotic ornamentals from all over the world, many of them rare.\nThe Walled Garden is open daily from 10.30am. Last admission 4.30pm (Summer), 3.30pm (Winter)\nThe deer park has been home to herds of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and fallow deer (Dama dama) for around 250 years. You are welcome to walk through the public area of the deer park from January to the end of September, although we ask that you stay out of the deer sanctuary and the fishing lake area.\nThe red deer, the largest land animals to be found wild in Britain, are easily recognisable with their reddish-brown coats. The shyer fallow deer have pale beige coats, spotted with white.\nIn October you can hear the male deer roar and clash antlers when the dominant male tries to keep all others away from his females during the mating period. The males lose their antlers around March, so you can see the new ones developing through until August. The young are born in June and July when the mothers find a quiet spot to give birth. Throughout the summer you will see the youngsters running around the deer park.\nPlease note that there is no public access through the deer park during October, November and December. Dogs are not permitted in the deer park.\nWith a well stocked lake that is open from 1 January to 30 September, Normanby is the perfect venue for fishing enthusiasts. The lake is open from 9am until the park closes.\nWith level banks and a platform, the lake is especially suited to teaching children to fish.\nThe lake has 20 pegs and is teeming with a variety of fish species. Current fish stocks include:\nDay fishing tickets cost £5 per adult and £4 per child. Children under the age of 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult. Day tickets can only be purchased by prior arrangement by contacting Mr Lawrence on 01724 732309 / 07580455501.\nFishing season tickets are also available for a cost of £45. They can also be bought directly from Mr Lawrence on 01724 732309 / 07580455501.\nRules for fishing\nThe woodland contains superb mature beeches, oaks and sweet chestnuts. There are also more unusual species like the Tulip Tree and the Handkerchief Tree. Close to the Hall is a magnificent Evergreen or Holm Oak, Quercus ilex. The tree is a rarity this far north and its lower branches are worn smooth by the generations of children playing on it. You’ll also find dozens of species of birds, butterflies and wild flowers in the woodland and in autumn, unusual types of fungi.\nA path has been installed through the woodland to make the area accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs.\nVisiting Normanby today, it is easy to forget that this was once a private house, the centre of a large estate and the focus of a community. The Hall shows how the owner and his family lived, but little remains to show aspects of the life of servants on the estate.\nThe Normanby servant’s trail has been designed to enable you to discover some of the less obvious aspects of life at Normanby such as where the family’s bread and ice came from, the origins of the model railway, where the laundry was done, the servant’s routes around the park, where the estate fire engine was stored, and the importance of the horses and dogs to the estate.\nYou can download the servant’s trail map below to help you find your way around the park.

The composition of sand can be very versatile, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastal settings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz.\nThe second most common kind of sand is calcium carbonate, an example can be aragonite, which has mostly been created, over the past half billion years, by various forms of life, like coral and shellfish. It is, for example, the primary form of sand apparent in areas where reefs have dominated the ecosystem for millions of years like the Caribbean.\nThe study of individual grains can reveal much historical information as to the origin and kind of transport of the grain. Quartz sand that is recently weathered from granite or gneiss quartz crystals will be angular. It is called grus in geology or sharp sand in the building trade where it is preferred for concrete, and in gardening where it is used as a soil amendment to loosen clay soils. Sand that is transported long distances by water or wind will be rounded, with characteristic abrasion patterns on the grain surface. Desert sand is typically rounded.\nPeople who collect sand as a hobby are known as arenophiles. Organisms that thrive in sandy environments are psammophiles.", "domain": "geography"}

The original cottage that forms the core of the pub is much older, however, and the limestone from which it was built was quarried from Wheatley and was the same stone used in the building of Windsor Castle. In the early 1900's, it was owned by Wootten & Co. of Oxford and was renowned for a beverage known as \"Entire\": A type of porter. The Cricketers was subsequently owned by a number of breweries and run by many landlords and landladies before becoming a Free House in 1983.\nSince 2007, it has been owned and operated by Stuart and Angie Bull with the help of a small but dedicated team of staff. The Cricketers Arms isn't part of a chain or managed estate, nor is it tied to any brewery, it's a genuine English free house. We think that you'll find that our pub offers you exceptional food at an incredible price in a traditional and friendly community pub atmosphere.\nOur priorities are, and all have been, upholding traditional values, providing a quality experience for the best value, sourcing locally and maintaining a high standard of cleanliness. The pub has a vibrant community that supports two Aunt Sally Teams (one in the Oxford Aunt Sally League and one in the South East Oxfordshire Aunt Sally League) and a Cribbage team (in the Oxford & Bucks Winter Cribbage League). We also have players in the Oxford & District Crib League.\nLittleworth is midway between the villages of Wheatley and Horspath, and less than five miles from the centre of the historic city of Oxford. Littleworth lies in an area known as \"The Oxford Heights\" - a favoured area for settlement since prehistoric times and the areas villages were some of the primary settlements in Oxfordshire during the Saxon period.\nAccording to local legend, Littleworth was so named during the English Civil War by Oliver Cromwell as the land was of little worth. But, it was the very same landscape that gave Littleworth its famous brickworks that provided the clay for much of the brick that built the Cowley car manufacturing plants. Now, in addition to The Cricketers Arms, it supports small number of light industrial units and a wealth of microbusinesses operated from homes around the area, enabling the pub to maintain its focus as the hub of the community as well as a vital source of refreshment for weary travellers from far and wide.\nIt was said, that in the 17th and 18th century, Littleworth was the wealthiest place between Bristol and London. This was due to the Yellow Ochre that was mined from the sandy summit of Shotover, and then ground at Littleworth Mill (now the local attraction Wheatley Windmill). The substance was prized by artists as being the highest quality Yellow Ochre in all England, and used in the paintings and portraits of Royalty, as well as a dye for the fine fabric favoured by the aristocracy.\nThe main London to Oxford turnpike (toll road), taking mail between the capital of commerce and the capital of education, took stagecoaches over Shotover hill and through Shotover forest. The area was a magnet for highwaymen and thieves, but beyond Shotover hill lay the village of Wheatley with its numerous coaching inns to provide sustenance and shelter for coachman and horses alike. The old route over Shotover was abandoned in 1789, but Wheatley remains a large village that supports its own array of shops, businesses such as Wheatley Birds of Prey and places of worship, as well as its own university campus - part of Oxford Brookes University.\nShotover Hill Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is 3 miles east of Oxford. At its highest point, Shotover hill is 557 feet (170 m) above sea level and affords fine views over Oxfordshire. It is a whole hillside of hidden valleys, sudden views and varied habitats which are freely accessible all the year round.\nFrom around the period of the Domesday Book, Shotover was part of the Wychwood Royal Forest which covered a much larger area to the east of Oxford. During the Civil War so much timber was taken from the wood that in 1660 Shotover was \"disafforested\" and the slopes given over to rough grazing. The name may be derived from the Old English scoet ofer, meaning \"steep slope\", although legend has it that two brothers who lived on either side of the hill tied messages to arrows and shot them over the hill to each other.\nShotover is very popular with walkers and cyclists and forms a part of The Oxford Green Belt Way. Close to the eastern edge of Shotover, The Cricketers Arms is the nearest place for those who have enjoyed some fresh air to recoup with hearty, wholesome, food, good ale or a pot of tea and a warming fire.\nOxford is famous the world over for its University and place in history. For over 800 years, it has been a home to royalty and scholars, and since the 9th century an established town, although people are known to have lived in the area for thousands of years.\nNowadays, the city is a bustling cosmopolitan town. Still with its ancient University, but home also to a growing hi-tech community. Many businesses are located in and around the town, whether on one of the Science and Business Parks or within one of a number of residential areas.\nThis is a work in progress and includes links to various projects, friends and local businesses.\nThe Cricketers is proud to supply the outside bar for the Wheatley Summer Ball\nClayton Doyle, who you'll know from the Wheatley Summer Ball has started a little business up North in Sheffield, see: CD Locksmith, South Yorkshire\nLandlord Stuart's personal site for promoting his on-going novels and artwork is here: Littlenob.com (if you're wondering about the name, it refers to graffiti on the road sign on the Wheatley side of the railway bridge that joins Wheatley to Littleworth).", "domain": "geography"}

Becker (Polihale)\nOahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island get all the attention when people think of Hawaii. Heck, even Lanai and Molokai get more press. What about the forgotten islands of Niihau and Kahoolawe? Let’s give them some much-deserved attention in today’s blog.\nNiihau has the distinction of being the smallest of the inhabited islands, spanning just 70 square miles with a population of 250. Most of these people are natives, but a few are imports from elsewhere who wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. It’s considered an arid island, which means it’s basically a desert thanks to the rainshadow of Kauai; however, you’ll find a few lakes on Niihau that foster a thriving wetland habitat for many endangered plants and animals. Home to seabird sanctuaries, Niihau is flanked by craggy cliffs offset by vibrant flora and fauna. On those cliffs is a Navy base, which also happens to provide the island with its main source of economy.\nAs a relatively undeveloped and untouched island, Niihau has no tourism to speak of. It’s been dubbed the “Forbidden Island,” nestled 17 miles off the coast of Kauai. Occasionally, visitors will helicopter onto the island for a quick tour but that’s about it in terms of outside influence. You won’t see any roads here, or any hotels or restaurants for that matter. In fact, the people who live here do so sans electricity.\nThis is the smallest of all the main islands, stretching just 44 square miles situated seven miles from Maui and Lanai. This island is uninhabited — population: 0. Pu’u Moaulanui, at 1,483 feet, marks the island’s highest point. Just like its sister, Nikkau, Kahoolawe is mostly desert, due to being in the rainshadow of Haleakala on Maui. This arid environment is the main reason why not many human settlements have lasted very long. Many years ago, it was utilized by the U.S. military as a training ground and bombing range. Ever since 1993, however, Kahoolawe Island Reserve provides protection of all natural species and inhabitants. That means no commercial development is allowed and only Native Hawaiian cultural activities can take place here. You can’t set foot on the island without a permit.\nIt is said that undetonated explosives still remain hidden here even after an extensive cleanup by the military in the early 1990s. Today, it’s not as colorful and lush as it once was. Not because of the military occupation, per se, but because many years ago goats were brought to the island and subsequently consumed and damaged the vegetation. In addition, strong ocean winds have eroded the island, resulting in dry and rocky terrain. Hawaii officials have removed the animals and started to restore the island through the planting of new flowers, trees and plants. Understandably, this will take many years.\nSo there you have it: an overview of the forgotten Hawaiian islands of Niihau and Kahoolawe. If you’re looking for an inhabited island with plenty of things to do, come to Oahu. Let Hoku Hawaii Tours show you around!", "domain": "geography"}

Route 66 fueled a backseat fantasy of the majestic and\nmysterious west, a wonderland of mountains and mesas, Cowboys and Indians, neon signs and gaudy billboards.\nThese rapid-fire visuals, framed through the family Ford’s bug streaked windshield, became the strong\nrecollections of a boy’s wistful yearnings as the roadside marvels blurred by, just out of reach.\nEven then progress was intruding upon fantasy, through the cause of\nprogress and the rubber stamp of expediency.\nEach summer found another town bypassed by the interstate, another stretch of two-lane abandoned, another\nroadside attraction shuttered. After a lengthy decline, the last section of old 66 became obsolete in 1984, the\nshields came down, and Route 66, famed in song and story, was eulogized in numerous publications, seemingly\ndestined to be just another cast-off travel corridor, the “Oregon Trail” of its time.\nThe death notices were premature. Route 66 had struck such a chord\nwith “roadies” that we refused to give it up so\neasily. Associations began springing up in the late Eighties to promote and preserve the memories of our favorite\nhighway, while authors like Michael Wallis helped popularize ol’ Mother Road.\nThose nostalgic visions of roadside wonders kept simmering in my subconscious\nthrough my high school and\ncollege years, sometimes emerging as sketches of Stuckey’s signs and old cafes. My Dad and I made a special\nRoute 66 trip back out to California in 1981; this time I made him stop at everything. Tantalizing glimpses of\nolder pavement led me to research old highway maps for the early routes. 1983 brought several excursions,\nincluding a journey of exploration from Oklahoma City to Santa Monica and back that consumed 14 days and\nabout 36 rolls of film. 1986 found me tracing the old routes during an eight-day trip to Chicago. Frequent Route\n66 pilgrimages followed, each bringing some forgotten aspect of the road to light, each increasing my desire to see\nToday, things are brighter along old 66. “Historic 66” signs are\nnow up in many places to guide the traveler, old\nbusinesses are being rehabilitated, and tourists are hitting the off-ramps to find and drive the old route, infusing it\nwith new life.\nMy desire to discover as much of the old alignments of Hwy 66 as possible\nhas led to collaboration with fellow\nroad historian Jim Ross on a set of Route 66 cruising maps, a video exploring mysterious “lost” sections of the\nearly incarnation, and a three-part series of articles detailing the surprising quantity of Route 66 remnants along\nthe pre-1937 route through Santa Fe. I have also enjoyed exposing the almost mythological stretches of The\nJericho Gap, and other little known sections in New Mexico and Arizona. To me, Route 66 is a fascinating puzzle,\nan archeological dig of over 2448 miles through 7 decades of roadside Americana.\nPreserving and restoring Route 66 scenes through my artwork is one way\nI can contribute to this commemoration\nand celebration of our highway heritage. The special visual “fix” I acquired as a child still haunts me, but Route\n66 is now much more than just the “vacation road” to me, as I have learned of the other roles this highway has\nplayed in our county’s development. My works may reflect the lean times of the Dustbowl days, as well as the\ntriumphs of tourism. I frequently feature old cars in my scenes. The ‘66 culture was primarily a car culture, its\nresources (indeed its very pavement) dedicated to expediting the progress of the auto and its occupants, while\nproviding a livelihood for those trying to make a living along its flanks.\nI feel a kinship with those roadside entrepreneurs who staked their\nlives on two lanes of pavement and a steady\nstream of traffic. Behind the brightly lit facades are the people and their stories. They make their presence known\nin my artwork, sometimes in a subliminal shape glimpsed through a window, other times posing proudly along the\nroad. I have visited with many of these business people through the years; we share a dependency on the old\nhighway and a love for simpler times not too far past.", "domain": "geography"}

The eastern Libyan city of Derna, in particular, has borne the brunt of this natural disaster, as two dams succumbed to the relentless rains, unleashing torrents that engulfed entire communities.\nThe precise scale of the tragedy remains shrouded in uncertainty due to the limited access to Derna, home to 100,000 residents. Rescue operations have been hampered by severed roads, landslides, and flooding, leaving the population to employ rudimentary means to recover bodies, many of which have been laid to rest in mass graves, as documented on social media.\nThe isolation of Derna and other affected towns from the outside world has compounded the challenges. Despite the authorities’ efforts to restore communication networks, these areas remain virtually cut off.\nEstimates of the human toll vary, with both Eastern and Western authorities acknowledging “thousands” of casualties. Osama Ali, spokesperson for Libya’s “Emergency and Rescue Service” under the internationally recognised government in Tripoli, reported over 2,300 deaths and approximately 7,000 injuries in Derna. Shockingly, more than 5,000 individuals remain unaccounted for.\nThe International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has also raised alarm over the substantial loss of life, potentially numbering in the thousands, with a staggering 10,000 individuals still missing.\nThis calamity marks the most devastating natural disaster to afflict Libya’s eastern province of Cyrenaica since the powerful earthquake that rattled the town of al-Marj in 1963.\nThe catastrophe unfolded as storm Daniel made landfall on Libya’s eastern coast, impacting Benghazi and subsequently sweeping eastward through the towns of the Jabal al-Akhdar region. Derna, already grappling with its share of devastation, suffered the most severe consequences.\nThe breaking of the two dams on Wadi Derna on Sunday night triggered an immense deluge. Witnesses reported a deafening explosion preceding the unstoppable torrents that inundated the city, submerging bridges, neighbourhoods, and their inhabitants into the Mediterranean.\nIn the days that followed, the sea cast ashore the grim evidence of the disaster, with bodies washing up on the shores. Military efforts were mobilised, as depicted in images circulated by Libyan media, showing helicopters engaged in the solemn task of recovering remains from beaches strewn with debris.\nIn the face of this tragedy, both within Libya and abroad, people have united to extend aid to the victims, even as the assistance has been arriving gradually. Convoy missions from Tripolitania in western Libya are en route to Derna. The Tripoli government, led by Abdelhamid Dbeibah, has committed substantial resources, including air ambulances, medical teams, and technicians to restore power.\nTurkey and the United Arab Emirates have also dispatched rescue teams to eastern Libya, demonstrating solidarity in the face of this devastating natural disaster. As the international community rallies to support Libya during this trying time, the focus remains on providing much-needed relief and assistance to those affected by the floods.", "domain": "geography"}

Taking a motorbike on an offroad trip is one of the most dangerous and thrilling experiences for anyone and in the case of Nepal, it is no less.\nNepal is famous for the remote places due to the geographical difficulties and the offroad trails leading to them, districts like Manang and Mustang being the most popular of all. Yearly, a large number of tourists visit such destinations and people who seek thrilling experience choose motorbikes over other means of transportation to reach there.\nI’ll be sharing some of the things you should consider before just packing your bags and hopping on your bikes for someplace you haven’t been before.\nResearch and Plan the route\nYes, the first thing you should do is to research the place you’re visiting. Most of the roads leading to famous destinations of Nepal are often far away from the black-topped roads, let alone the highways which means the chances of them being in a good condition are few to none. The Internet has made it easy for you as there are a lot of videos and blogs are available so that you know what you’re up against.\nIf you feel confident about the roads, you should then plan the route ahead of time. In these destinations, there are rarely many hotels you can stay at. Therefore, you should make a plan as to where your destination after each ride will be and probably ask someone who’s already been there but references from the vlogs and written articles should do too.\nMake the trip in a group\nThe roads to remote destinations of Nepal are often hard to ride through and often unpredictable. On top of that, there’s always a risk of your motorbike breaking down midway. Within cities, it’s not a big deal, but on those roads, it might cost you a lot of time and you might even have to cancel your trip because of this reason. Therefore it’s always a good idea to go in groups so that you don’t get stranded somewhere remote with a broken machine.\nFor instance, the road to Sandakphu, Ilam is one of the most difficult roads I’ve ever seen. We went there on a four-wheeler but some people were crazy enough to reach the place on motorbikes and while we were staying at a hotel, two motorbikes arrived at 3 in the morning. Turns out, one of the motorbikes broke down on the way (damaged clutch plate) but lucky for them they were from a riders club in Chitwan and they happened to have a spare with them and skills enough to change the part by themselves. The point is, not everyone is a mechanic and it’s just easier to go in groups to such places to face those situations or avoid them altogether.\nMake reservations ahead of time if possible\nMost of the places that you make trips to are probably famous tourist destinations and it’s probable that people are flocking the place before you even reach there. One of the most important things for such trips is enough rest after a long day on road and you should make sure to get it. As most people who reach such places go on holiday packages or through an agency, their accommodation is already booked and it’s a good idea for you too to inform the lodges or hotels beforehand to avoid the hassles of searching for a place to sleep after a tiresome day.\nKnow your machine\nThe least you should be aware of before going on a long motorbike trip is how the parts of your motorbike work and if the bike is suitable for the roads ahead. Sometimes, even a minor problem might become a huge one on such trips. It’s a good idea to at least have someone who knows enough about motorbikes in the group as workshops are far away and might cost you a significant amount of money even to fix a small problem as you might have to call them to come to you.\nAlways visit the workshop before making a trip\nIt’s one of the things you should never skip, no matter how perfect your motorbike is. Even when it’s running perfectly fine, it’s likely that it has at least one problem which can cost you a lot on the trip. It’s better to get your oil changed, tires checked and parts like brakes and clutch examined before you get on the road.\nA workshop mechanic had warned me a few months back that my gear lever might stop working and to change it and I completely ignored it and even forgot about the issue. When we went to Sirubari, we had a small issue about the same part and had to call a mechanic, who unfortunately didn’t have the part and he just fixed it. The problem showed up again even before we reached Sirubari. We got it replaced only after returning to Pokhara and it altogether cost us double the price of the replacement at the end. After a few weeks of returning from Sirubari, I had to change the rear tire after it was punctured and became unfixable as it had degraded so much.\nWhen I think about it now, it was one of the biggest mistakes I made on the trip. Just imagine how big of a problem would it have been to have a punctured and unfixable tire in the middle of nowhere. Therefore, it’s just better to check every single thing and consulting a technician on getting it repaired or replaced.", "domain": "geography"}

Here’s a look at why train journeys are an unforgettable way to explore new destinations and some of the most iconic routes to consider for your next adventure.\nThe Appeal of Train Travel\n- Scenic Views: Trains often pass through areas inaccessible by other means of transport, offering panoramic views of breathtaking landscapes.\n- Eco-Friendly: Rail travel is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to explore, emitting far less carbon per passenger than cars or planes.\n- Comfort and Relaxation: With more legroom than planes or buses and the freedom to move around, trains offer a more comfortable and relaxed travel experience.\n- Cultural Experience: Train travel can provide a deeper cultural immersion, allowing you to see the daily life of the places you pass through and interact with locals.\nIconic Train Journeys Around the World\n- The Trans-Siberian Railway, Russia: Spanning over 9,000 kilometers from Moscow to Vladivostok, this epic journey crosses eight time zones, offering a unique view of Russia’s vast landscapes, from the Ural Mountains to the Siberian plains.\n- The Glacier Express, Switzerland: Connecting Zermatt and St. Moritz, the Glacier Express winds through the Swiss Alps, showcasing majestic mountains, deep gorges, and picturesque villages.\n- The Ghan, Australia: Traversing the Australian continent from north to south, the Ghan offers an unforgettable journey through the heart of the Australian Outback, from Darwin to Adelaide.\n- The Rocky Mountaineer, Canada: This luxury train explores the Canadian Rockies, offering routes that include breathtaking vistas of mountains, lakes, and waterfalls, with stops in iconic destinations like Banff and Lake Louise.\n- The Orient Express, Europe: Synonymous with luxury and mystery, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express runs from London to Venice, passing through some of Europe’s most enchanting landscapes and cities.\nTips for Train Travel\n- Plan Ahead: While spontaneous train trips can be exciting, booking in advance can often save you money and secure the best seats.\n- Pack Light: Space can be limited on trains, so pack efficiently. Consider a small overnight bag for longer journeys where you might not have access to your main luggage.\n- Stay Safe: Keep your belongings secure and be mindful of your environment, especially on overnight or longer journeys.\n- Embrace the Experience: Train travel is as much about the journey as the destination. Bring a good book, listen to music, or simply enjoy the scenery and the rhythm of the rails.\nTrain journeys offer a timeless appeal, combining the nostalgia of bygone travel with the modern desire for sustainable and immersive experiences. Whether it’s the slow, meditative pace, the stunning landscapes, or the chance to meet fellow travelers, train travel has something for everyone. From the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps to the vast expanses of the Australian Outback, the world’s iconic train routes invite you to sit back, relax, and watch the world unfold in a way that only train travel can provide.", "domain": "geography"}

Employees may be exposed to unusual elements including extreme temperatures, dust, fumes, smoke, unpleasant odors, and/or loud noises.\nThe Ashley National Forest\nThe Ashley National Forest encompasses about a million and a half acres in northeastern Utah and southwestern Wyoming. The Forest lies in three geographical areas: the east-west range of the Uinta Mountains, the Green River Basin, and the Tavaputs Plateau. Elevations range from 6,000 feet to 13,528 feet.\nSteep canyons, high mountain peaks, glaciated basins, large open meadows, and desert badlands produce a rich diversity of vegetation and wildlife. The grasses and shrubs of the high mountain desert are replaced by pinyon and juniper as the elevation rises. In mid-elevation areas, aspen dominates and becomes mixed with conifer. Higher up, the vegetation changes to conifer forest composed of ponderosa pine, lodgepole pine, fir, and spruce. Wildlife is abundant. Larger species include black bear, mountain lion, moose, elk, mule deer, pronghorn, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep.\nNeighboring lands include the Uinta and Ouray Indian Reservation to the south, the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest to the west and north, and a mixture of Bureau of Land Management, State of Utah, and private lands to the east and southeast. Compared with other National Forests, relatively few small tracts of private land lie within the Ashley's boundary.\nThe High Uintas Wilderness, established by Congress in 1984, comprises nearly one-half million acres in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache and Ashley National Forests. Within the wilderness, elevations range from 8,000 feet to 13,582 feet at the top of Kings Peak, the highest mountain in Utah. The Uinta Mountain range runs east to west, from the Wasatch Mountains into Colorado. Pre-Cambrian rock formed from sediments laid down 600 million years ago makes up the core of the range. Glacial activity carved deep canyons and left a spectacular landscape of rolling, treeless peaks and stratified ridges interspersed with broad meadows and numerous lakes.\nThe Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area lies in the northeast part of the Forest. Flaming Gorge Reservoir extends almost 90 miles into Wyoming and offers outstanding fishing and boating opportunities. Record-breaking German brown trout and large lake and rainbow trout have been taken from its waters. The Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area has three marinas and many campgrounds, some of which are open year-round.\nThe Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam is a world-famous blue-ribbon trout stream. The Little Hole National Recreation Trail parallels the river 7.3 miles from the Dam to the Little Hole Recreation Complex.\nAbout Vernal, Utah\nVernal is situated in northeast Utah south of Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area and west of Dinosaur National Monument, and is the county seat of Uintah County. Vernal has a population of approximately 10,000 people. When combined with the residents of surrounding communities, the population of the Ashley Valley is approximately 15,000. Vernal is 180 miles east of Salt Lake City and 300 miles west of Denver.\nVernal sits at approximately 5,000 feet above sea level. Vernal enjoys four beautiful temperate seasons; the climate is semi-arid with low humidity. Annual precipitation averages 15-20\", mostly in the form of winter snow and spring/fall rain. Winter temperatures usually hover in the 20s-30s during the day, but will occasionally drop to sub-zero. Mid-summer temperatures can reach 100 degrees, but generally average in the low-mid 90s, dipping into the 50s at night.\nThe U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination on all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, and marital or family status.

Water is life. We know its power in many formswaterfalls and rain, mists and streams, rivers and oceans. With one mind, we send greetings and thanks to the spirit of Water.\nNow our minds are one.2\nIn the years following the American Revolution, the U.S. Constitution and its various amendments, with their emphasis on individual rights, unfolded to become the new standard as the law of the land with regard to water law and much more.3 This statement begs the question: What was the law of the land before the United States came to be?\nAs the first European colonists wandered about North America, they were met by the original, indigenous inhabitants of this land. In the Lake Ontario/St. Lawrence River basin, the Haudenosaunee (Ho-dih-nuh-show-nee), or People of the Longhouse, were greeted and courted by the French and Dutch, followed by the English.4 It was during these early French encounters that the Haudenosaunee were referred to as Iroquois from an adaptation of an Algonquian derogatory name, Hilokoa.5\nThe Haudenosaunee began as five autonomous, agrarian nations: Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca related linguistically and socially through contiguous hunting, fishing, and gathering territories (later to become known as the Six Nations when the Tuscarora Nation took shelter under the protection of the Confederacy).6 Then, many, many years ago, perhaps as far back as one thousand years ago, a Huron prophet, referred to as the Peacemaker, united these five warring nations to become the Haudenosaunee Confederacy or Five Nations.7 The Peacemaker introduced a law referred to in the Mohawk language as the Kaianerekowa (Ga-yawn-ne-lit-goe-wa) or the Great Law of Peace. The Great Law of Peace also served to reestablish a clan system headed by a matriarch or clanmother through matrilineal familial titles.\nThrough the clan system, the clanmother appointed a male leader (referred to in English as a chief) and his male helper (referred to in English as a subchief) as well as two keepers of ceremonies: one male faithkeeper and one female faithkeeper position, bringing a total of five persons working together under one hereditary title. For the Mohawk Nation, there are nine hereditary titles, three in each clan: three Turtle Clan titles; three Wolf Clan titles and three Bear Clan titles.\nMy name, Tekahnawiiaks, (pronounced Deh-gunna-wee-yuks) is a name from Mohawk Nation Turtle Clan. As Administrator, I had the privilege of working under the direction of the Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs, the traditional council for the Mohawk Nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. I worked closely with a Mohawk leader named Tekanatsiasere (pronounced Deh-gunna-jaw-zeh-leh) who became a Roiane (chief, pronounced Low-yawn-ne).\nAs Managing Editor of Indian Time newspaper for a few years, I also reported on Confederacy events. It was under the tutelage of the Mohawk clanmothers, chiefs and faithkeepers that I began to truly appreciate the structure of the traditional Haudenosaunee Confederacy as a birthright of every Haudenosaunee. This paper addresses traditional Haudenosaunee beliefs according to oral history and philosophy, which is recorded, more or less, in literature throughout North America.8\nFrom the perspective of the traditional Haudenosaunee, we speak in terms of responsibilities with respect to water, not in terms of water rights. This shift in emphasis is not casual in our eyes and takes us to the central premise of this paper. From time immemorial, we have held the view that the law of the land is not man-made law, but a greater natural law, the Great Law of Peace.9 This law, in our view, is divine. The Haudenosaunee have a deep respect for the waters of the Earth. For example, one of the root words for rain in Mohawk means expensive, or precious or holy. Culturally, we would not abuse this resource. Our society treats and cares for the waters as a sacred element so that water remains pristine.10\nNo discussion of Native American water law is complete without acknowledging that multiple frames of reference come into play, legally speaking, when traditional Native people are consulted about water resources. What matters here are human relationships of responsibility. Responsibilities, like rights, are terms that have different implications depending on the individuals learning and experience. In law, some will associate it with the professional responsibility code emphasized in law school training. Others will think of fiduciary responsibilities, a familiar part of trust law. But moral behavior towards other people and towards the natural world brings together personal and legal responsibility; it is left to responsible individuals acting on their own good judgment rather than on the basis of legal prerequisite to behave morally and responsibly.\nWe Haudenosaunee believe at one time in history, all creatures could communicate with each other. Even water could communicatefor example to the fish that lived in it. What the water might say is, Youre swimming the wrong way. Today, however, water has lost its ability to communicate. The responsibility for its voice has been passed on to the Haudenosaunee! We are the surrogates for voiceless Creation.\nThis paper is intended to assist readers in appreciating the Haudenosaunee position on responsibilitynamely, that personal responsibilities towards water are established according to our law and are really our inherited moral and spiritual responsibilities. This appreciation will require a deeper acquaintance with indigenous culture. In particular, four components of Haudenosaunee law are significant to us as inherent laws. These components, addressed below, which predate the arrival of European explorers, voyageurs, traders, and settlers in North America, are: Haudenosaunee Cosmology and the Original Instructions, which includes the Ohenton Kariwatehkwen (Oh-he(n)-doo Gully-wa-deh-qua) or loosely translated as the words that come before all else; the Kaianerekowa (Ga-yawn-ne-lit-goe-wa) or the Great Law of Peace; and the Kaswentha (Gus-won-ta) or Two Row Wampum and other treaties.11 Part II of the paper will examine the Haudenosaunee Environmental Task Force Position Paper on the Great Lakes.12 I will use it as a lens for understanding water rights and water law from an indigenous perspective.\nWater is the core of the Haudenosaunee weltanshauung. In the Haudenosaunee Creation Story, Earth was a planet of water and water creatures. Land was only a memory, a legend known to the water creatures that inhabited this planet. The planet was not fit for beings belonging to the land. Earth, in its true sense, became reality after the first being, the SkyWoman and the grandmother of the Creator, fell from the sky. With assistance from the water creatures and with the SkyWomans special abilities, land was created on a turtles back (hence the term Turtle Island to indicate North America.) The lesson in the Haudenosaunee Creation Story is that water is the primary element of the planet Earth. According to Haudenosaunee teachings, water is sacred on Earth, although its contemporary treatment would suggest otherwise.\nAlso within the Creation Story, Original Instructions were given to the people of this land. They include the Ohenton Kariwatehkwen:the words before all else. We also call this the Thanksgiving Address and recite our thanks to all of Creation to open the day (in other words, to welcome, greet and thank the beginning of the day). The Ohenton Kariwatehkwen is recited before any issues are talked about when a gathering of the people takes place or to quote a Mohawk expression, to open the door (a comparable expression might be to open the meeting) and serves as a reminder to the people that everything on this land was provided for human existence and in return, we are to be thankful. Indeed, it is a solemn responsibility. The consequence of forgetting the human responsibility to give thanks to Creation, to water, is that one day, if a particular part of Creation is not addressed, and we fail to give thanks, we are told this part of Creation will disappear.\nI began this paper with a short extract from the Thanksgiving Address pertaining to the Waters. Humans are tasked by the Creator to recite the Ohenton Kariwatehkwen, which is a reminder of the early and original law of this land: to first give thanks. And this is reflected in the three conclusions of our creation story: water is sacred; it is everyones responsibility to offer thanks; and neglecting this responsibility has dire consequences. Our oral history recalls a time of such consequences. Chief Jacob Thomas, Cayuga Nation, explained the prophecies:\nOur teachings predict future consequences of the dereliction of gratitude. Gratitude is a sine qua non.\nThe Haudenosaunee Creation Story deals with the responsibility of humankind to give thanks to the major elements of Creation: as one of the original instructions to the people of this land. We did not always fulfill this responsibility. Through our teachings, a Huron prophet, whom we refer to as the Peacemaker,14 instituted a system of government and law within the nations called the Kaianerekowa: The Great Law of Peace. That system of law endures today as it did thousands of years ago; today, it is still referred to as the Great Law of Peace.\nThe Peacemaker demonstrated the Kaianerekowas strength. He showed the leaders how one arrow (representing one nation) could be broken easily. However, when he bound five arrows together (representing five nations), the package, and by extension, the individual nations, was almost impossible to break. The strength of the Great Law of Peace was effectively demonstrated for the unification of the Five Nations Confederacy (later to become known as the Six Nations when the Tuscarora Nation took shelter under the protection of the Confederacy).\nThe Peacemaker used the white pine tree as a symbol of Peace. He planted this Tree of Peace in Haudenosaunee Territory to unify the Five Nations, brought an end to the bloodshed between these Nations, re-installed the clan system, and reestablished what we know as the Original Instructions. This prophet then uprooted the Tree of Peace and buried the weapons of destruction to be carried away, forever, by an underground cavern that held a fast-flowing stream.15 Any nation may follow the four white roots to their origination, in particular, Turtle Island (North America) to seek protection under the leaves of the Tree of Peace. 16\nThis Kaianerekowa existed eons ago before the colonists were allowed to settle within the Territory of the Haudenosaunee, and the Great Law of Peace remains a vital part of the Haudenosaunee Six Nations Confederacy. Even the early colonists followed the protocols of the Haudenosaunee found in the Kaianerekowa:\nIts natural law principles provide a mechanism for human responsibility to express itself with respect to the inter-generational protection of water. It is the key to environmental sustainability, of which humans are a small piece. The Great Law of Peace, to Haudenosaunee, is the divine law of this land.\nThis moral code is first and foremost environmentally-based and follows the Original Instructions (which includes the Ohenton Kariwatehkwen) to remind people of their relationship and responsibility to Creation. Most Haudenosaunee people who know the Kaianerekowa can list its three basic principles: peace, power, and righteousness (I must insert that the translations are dangerously misleading because power is interpreted often as might but by power here I mean unity.). However, it is the lesson in our One Dish/One Spoon concept which forms its overarching core.\nThe Peacemaker demonstrated the One Dish/One Spoon principle in an analogy to the fifty Haudenosaunee Roianeson (translated in the English equivalent as chiefs, pronounced low-yaw-neh-soo).18 Once the Five Nations agreed to unite, the Roianeson sat in a circle to listen to the Peacemaker. The Peacemaker expressed this principle by passing around a bowl of beaver tail, a delicacy among the People of the Longhouse. As the leaders sat in this circle of fifty, the Roianeson took only what they needed, knowing the bowl had to complete its circle. The One Dish demonstrated the collective responsibility of the people to share equally.19 The spoon revealed an additional symbol lesson here: to avoid a sharp instrument, such as a knife, at a gathering of the people, because knives could cause the spilling of blood. Therefore employing sharp instrumentsor even sharp wordswas prohibited.\nOne Dish/One Spoon principle represents a tenet of the Great Law of Peace and is a succinct expression of our ongoing responsibilities to conserve what sustains us. The Kaianerekowa has four directives that reinforce this tenet:\n2. Dont take the first catch you encounter;21\n3. Take only what you need in life to sustain yourself and your family;\n4. Leave some of the catch for the future, ensuring the future of seven generations for your family and the species survival.22\nThe Great Law of Peace is a law for Six Nations people, their government and all who seek protection under the Great Tree of Peace. Its principles served as a source for the formation of the law of the United States.23 In the early colonies, theKaianerekowas protocol was followed in treaty councils between the Haudenosaunee and the British, and later by the United States.24 The law of the Six Nations Confederacy was intensely studied and written about by Benjamin Franklin, a co-author of the U.S. Constitution.25 In many ways, the Great Law of Peace was at least two hundred years ahead of its time.26 However, unlike the Great Law of Peace, the U.S. Constitution originally failed to give women voting rights.27\nFranklin used the Great Law of Peace as an example of good governmental structure when he contributed to the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution.28 As Franklin put it:\nThe treaty councils, the records of which Franklin printed extensively, were the origin of the idea of federalism for the United States.30 Each nation was autonomous within the Confederacy and as a whole, could make decisions for itself.31 Where the collective good of all five Nations was at issue, however, deliberations ensued at the Grand Council.32\nAnother example of how the U.S. Constitution and the Kaianerekowa were similar is the structure of the two Houses within Congress: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Haudenosaunee Confederacy also splits its Longhouse into a two-house system, the Oneida, Cayuga and Tuscarora Nations sitting on one side and the Mohawk, Onondaga and Seneca Nation sitting on the other.\nIn addition, the Onondaga Nation has a Speaker of the House, whose hereditary title is the legendary Tadadaho (pronounced Tah-dah-da-hoe) who decides what issues will be discussed on the agenda and who opens the Grand Council meeting (a reference to an all-Six-Nations meeting).\nIndeed, the connections between the U.S. Constitution and the Kaianerekowa are significant, notwithstanding the abuses and omissions of the former regarding Native peoples in later years.33 The 100th Congress decided [t]o acknowledge the contribution of the Iroquois Confederacy of Nations to the development of the United States Constitution and to reaffirm the continuing government-to-government relationship between Indian tribes and the United States established in the Constitution.34\nThe sacredness of water was acknowledged in treaties and agreements with other nations.35 In order to coexist on this land with the Europeans, the Haudenosaunee arrived at a mutual understanding with the Dutch, the French, the British, and later, the Americans through the exchange of wampum.36 The Kaswentha, or Two Row Wampum, also known as the Covenant Chain, was a treaty agreement first made with and first recorded by the Dutch in 1613.37 The Two Row Wampum was later referred to as the Silver Covenant Chain.38\nThe two row metaphor referred to the two nations of the treaty, i.e., the Haudenosaunee and the Netherlands, traveling together down the River of Life. In the Two Row Wampum, there are two parallel rows of purple beads, to symbolize the two paths for two vessels: one for the Haudenosaunee canoe and one for the Dutch ship.39 The two vessels are forever parallel, never meeting, but, by agreement, the vessels were intended to pursue parallel paths, not interfering with each other. Between the two paths of purple were three rows of white beads to symbolize the River of Life and three words to show the continued relationship of the two peoples: peace, respect and friendship. This metaphor explains how the two nations would agree to exist, living side by side, but never interfere in each others government or way of life. So water is both the river of life and, importantly, the medium or backdrop of the Kaswentha.\nAfter the precedent of the Kaswentha, water protection and responsibility continued to be present in virtually all treaties made between and agreed to by the Haudenosaunee and other nations.40 From 1613 on, when the Confederacy met with officials from outside governments, such as the French, British and American, all historical agreements between the nations were recited, especially the Two-Row Wampum.41 Consistency and tradition are a sacred part of the Haudenosaunees treaty-making process. This is why a voting democracy is so hard for Haudenosaunee to contend with: each new democratic leader leaves behind the policies of his predecessor, forgetting the agreements and lessons of the past, and the Roianeson must educate new political officials every term.\nAnother obstacle in getting the U.S. government to recognize past meetings between itself and the Haudenosaunee is that very little historical written evidence of meetings accurately portrays what the Haudenosaunee said.42 The Haudenosaunee people are noted as great orators.43 With a few exceptions, the recorders did not document much of the content of the speeches by these orators at treaty deliberations.44 The clerks were non-Native and recorded only small details of the actual treaty deliberations.45 It will be conceded, however, that language barriers may have impeded accurate translations of the speeches and even the preservation of portions of the content, but translations often left out references to the Great Law of Peace and other key protocols.46 Our concept of water would have been described as sacred if those translations had been more accurate and more faithfully recorded.\nSome of our concepts did survive in the treaties, however. Upon our direction, the United States did incorporate language to reflect the sacredness of water in some treaties such as [a]s long as the grass is green, as long as the water flows downhill, and as long as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. 47 This language was not meant casually or merely as a literary flourish in our eyes. Every phrase in the clause resonates deep in the breast of our people because each refers to the natural world which is considered a sacred gift from the Creator.48\nAdditionally, treaties were always made with the exchange of wampum,49 which symbolizes and records our spiritual commitment to the treatyit now becomes our spiritual as well as civic law (the Haudenosaunee do not separate church and state).50 For the Haudenosaunee, the use of wampum in treaties is like swearing on the Bible in U.S. courts.51 Inserting sacred terms of the natural, Creator-given world into a treaty is, for us, of equal solemnity: sacred water, sacred wampum, sacred treaty.\nIn 1794, the Treaty of Canandaigua was made between the Haudenosaunee and the United States, a promise by the United States government to protect Haudenosaunee territory from further land encroachment.52 The Treaty provides that large sections of New York State remain in Haudenosaunee control.53 Despite the supposed sacredness of the treaties to all parties, there were well-known land frauds by the U.S. government and its people, both on our Territory and more generally.54 In one such example, in 1788, the New York commissioners lied to the Oneidas and encouraged the Oneidas to lease their land to New York State.55 After signing the lease, the Oneidas found out that they had been tricked and that the treaty was actually for the sale of 5 million acres of Oneida land!56 The U.S. Supreme Court continues to uphold these sales, as recently as its decision in City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation, which bars the Oneida Nation land claim due to equitable doctrines such as laches, acquiescence, and impossibilities.57 But these and prior treaties were agreements over land rights and were very separate from water rights.58\nThis point bears repeating. Treaties that the Haudenosaunee entered into never gave away our collective right to access, use and enjoy the waterways nor to hunt, fish, trap, or gather.59 In our viewa view supported by the Great Law of Peacerights to land and water have always followed from responsibilities, dating back to well before Europeans arrival. And they follow today, even as our rivers and the River of Life in the Kaswentha have been physically altered and choked by dams, pollution, and abusive practices by those who sought our trust through treaties.60\nDespite the complications introduced by treaties, the Law of the Land remains the Kaianerekowa, the Great Law of Peace, in the original Haudenosaunee Territory.61 The Creation Story, the Thanksgiving Address, the principles of the Kaianerekowa, the Two Row Wampum and other treaties serve to reinforce the fact that water is sacred and we have a responsibility to Creation.\nThe Great Law of Peace is the common law on Turtle Island (which means North America to the Haudenosaunee).62 Under U.S. and international law, Haudenosaunee existence and continual practice of government under the aforementioned law has preemption rights over the U.S. Constitution.63 Sadly, [i]t is, unfortunately, the exceptional lawyer who can be heard arguing today in federal courts that Indian peoples have fundamental rights to self-determination and to ownership and control of their lands and resources.64 Most states have bar exams that do not even test students on Native American law, perpetuating the lack of knowledge of Native American law in the U.S. legal community.65\nTherefore, law students face a dilemma. They must take an oath to protect the U.S. Constitution upon their entry to the bar.66 On the other hand, whenever Indians insist on their fundamental, sovereign rights, there is a legal, ethical duty which the Indians lawyers must fulfill by zealously advocating those rights. If compromises must be made, it is the Indians and not the lawyers who are entitled to make them.67 Authors Steven Tullberg and Robert Coulter hypothesize that:\nWith the Original Instructions, the Great Law of Peace and the Two Row wampum and other treaties in place, our understanding of Haudenosaunee weltanschauung is almost complete. All that is lacking is a context and that lies in the Haudenosaunee conception of land, or territory.\nThe value of water and the meaning of water law for the Native American called the Haudenosaunee cannot be separated from a yet-more foundational discussion on Haudenosaunee sovereignty and the right to protect land and Creation must be understood. It is my belief the Haudenosaunee would not have the problems of today, the degradation of water being one of them, were its sovereignty respected by the United States. Views on sovereignty are dependent upon the level of regard one has for the land itself (water, of course, included).\nI propose a simplified model. I propose that there are three levels of regard for the land: a low level, a medium level, and a high level. The low-level view of the land is based on the land being viewed as a commodity, a utility. You grow food on it, live off it, buy it, sell it and so forth. On this level, land has merely practical value. It is regarded as a commodity called real property.\nThe medium level is understood by most people. People who live on the land for many generations become attached to it as they are born and die on this land. They will speak of the land in familial terms such as: the Father land, or Mother Russia. On this level, the land is considered homeland. People love their homeland and would die defending it. This is a very patriotic view and most people might consider what I am calling a medium level regard for land as the highest possible view of land.\nHowever, I would like to suggest a yet higher regard for the land. For the Haudenosaunee, not only is this land our homeland, but the Creator has assigned the land to us. For many, this may be a new idea. But Jews, for example, believe that their Creator gave them Eretz Yisrael-the Land of Israel.69 The traditional Native American will tell you that the Creator gave them Turtle IslandNorth (and South) America. For the Haudenosaunee, we are the rightful owners, for example, of Ithaca NY, the home of Cornell University. Our original territory which lies in New York State, Pennsylvania and Ohio, as well as southern Canada, if I may use a Jewish analogy, is our Eretz Yisrael. It is with the highest level of regard to the land that we, the Haudenosaunee, come to view water law as much more than technical legal rules but as our responsibilities to water, earth, and the Creator.\nThe Haudenosaunee Position Paper on the Great Lakes was designed to express to the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration (GLRC) the Haudenosaunees inherent sovereignty over the waters, as a jurisdictional right to control our own Haudenosaunee territories and the water within them, but even more so as a voice for the water.70\nThe Great Lakes Charter of 1985 established principles for the management of Great Lakes resources as determined by the governors of the Great Lakes states and the premiers of the Great Lakes provinces.71 In 2001, an Annex was added to the Charter to regulate water withdrawals and diversions from the Great Lakes.72\nThe GLRC was established by U.S. President George W. Bush in an Executive Order to facilitate collaboration among the U.S. federal government, the Great Lakes states, local communities, tribes, and other interests in the Great Lakes region as well as Canada.73 A public consultation process allowed the Haudenosaunee, for the first time, to make a formal presentation on the Great Lakes.74 On September 9, 2005 the Haudenosaunee Environmental Task Force (HETF), of which I was Acting Director and am now Director, sent the Haudenosaunee Position Paper (for which I served as the main co-author) on the Great Lakes to the GLRC.75\nThe purpose of the Haudenosaunee Position Paper on the Great Lakes was, first, to communicate with the GLRC Executive Committee and Strategy Teams not only that the Haudenosaunee were the voice for Creation but also to convey to the United States and Canada that the Six Nations Confederacy has a right to control beyond federal legal standards, and through our preserved treaty rights to the water, and water law in the Great Lakes basin.76 HETF has always considered and used the following questions in its decision-making: first, what effect will our decision have on peace; second, what effect will our decision have on the natural world; and third, what effect will our decision have on future generations?77 The Position Paper was written with all these considerations in mind.\nWe also viewed it as our responsibility to the waters and to mankind to speak against the policies in the Charter and in its Annex:\nAs People of the Longhouse who have lived on this land since time immemorial, we assume responsibility for waterincluding water in the Great Lakes basinwithin the larger River of Life.79 The Haudensaunee position is that:\nOver the course of the Position Paper, we attempted to convey our relationship to the waters that sustain us in a language similar to that used by the U.S. and Canadian governments who believe they have ultimate authority over all water.81 It wasand still isHETFs intention to communicate to the GLRC both the Haudenosaunee legal view and legal standing with respect to this sacred resource.82 At the same time, we followed the Original Instructions from the Creator (Ohenton Kariwatehkwen) and assumed the role of advocates for the protection of water and for societys responsibility to embrace protection.\nIn the submissions to the GLRC, the Haudenosaunee Great Lakes Position Paper made reference to the violations against nature, especially the environmental destruction of the Great Lakes watershed such as the loss of shoreline, destruction of fish spawning beds, and the scouring of the riverbank and bed so as to churn up sediment of already-polluted waters.83 Once the Haudenosaunee relationship to water was shown and humankinds abuse of water was brought forward, we argued that Creation itself was at stake, as every part of creation is related:\nWe commended the Great Lakes Charters use of language consistent with principles within Haudenosaunee philosophy, as when it spoke of the need to protect, conserve, and manage the renewable but finite waters of the Great Lakes Basin . . . [for] generations yet to come.85 However, the Charters 2001 Annex stops short of taking a completely holistic approach by only addressing new water diversions and not addressing existing water diversions that have affected our indigenous practices. For example, because there were elevated levels of PCBs in the local fish, we were forced into changing from a higher protein fish-based diet to a diet lower in protein and higher in carbohydrates which in turn played a part in the dramatic increase of diabetes.88\nAlso, in a section regarding the proposed Seaway Navigational System expansion on the St. Lawrence River that was included in the Haudenosaunee Position Paper on the Great Lakes, the Thanksgiving Address was used as a framework for addressing the affected parts of Creation.89 As part of the Position Paper, we reminded the U.S. and Canadian officials of our warnings stated years ago. The Haudenosaunee warned the early colonists:\nWe remember that the treaties protect our land and water as long as the grass shall grow and the rivers run.91 The grass, in fact, is still growing, and the waters are still flowing, which proves that water rights and Haudenosaunee water law and responsibility still prevail and must be viewed as taking precedence over the imposed water law currently in existence in the United States and Canada.\nAs seen through Haudenosaunee eyes, our cultural understanding is deeply ingrained in our society as a society of laws and rights/responsibilities. Those laws and rights were promulgated by our forefathers.92 The treaties were designed to protect Haudenosaunee rights (and believe it or not, our existence as Haudenosaunee) of this day.93 It is the Haudenosaunee society of the past and of today which upholds our collective responsibility towards Creation for our future existence. It is a Haudenosaunee duty to protect the water, not the waters duty to protect the Haudenosaunee.\nAny person reading this article can no longer be ignorant of the original law of the land, the value of water, and the meaning of water law through the Kaianerekowa (Great Law of Peace). We, the indigenous people and non-indigenous people, can live side by side in this river of life. All of our forefathers agreed on this point.94 Let us walk on Mother Earth together, honoring the value of water according to the Original Instructions of this land and let us all use the Haudenosaunee principles as the law of the land.\nThis brings up, finally, a yet-more-foundational discussion, the discussion of Haudenosaunee sovereignty. All those who reside in what is now called New York State, or in certain portions of Canada, live on the original Haudenosaunee territory. Land that is influenced and preempted by the true law of the land: the Great Law of Peace of the Haudenosaunee. With unsurpassed irony, Cornell Law School, itself, in fact, is established on Haudenosaunee Territory without our legal permission!95 The Haudenosaunee would not have many of the problems they have today, water being one of them, were its sovereignty respected by the United States.96 As a result, we are yet in another court battle.\nOn March 11, 2005, the Onondaga Nation filed a land rights legal case in United States District Court.97 The legendary titleholder Tadadaho, Sid Hill, stated, The incomplete plan to clean up Onondaga Lake is only the latest example of the New York State and federal authorities inability to care for our land, . . . . In asserting our land rights, we insist that polluted areas be cleaned up and that the lands and waters be protected for generations to come.98\nOnondaga Lake is the birthplace of Haudenosaunee democracy. Subsequently and consequently, the lake is the founding site of democracy for the U.S. people and, as such, should be protected as a national treasure instead of the chemical cesspool it has become. Currently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognizes it as a location for at least thirteen Superfund cleanup sites and ten to fifteen additional sites that are being evaluated.99\nAs a young girl, an elder shared a prophecy with to me: One day we would have to buy our water. I scoffed at the idea. How could this be? My family lived on the St. Lawrence River. We ate the fish, swam, drew our water for drinking, cooking and cleaning from the river. I still have the yoke my dad hand-carved from basswood, designed to draw water with a pail attached to each end. The St. Lawrence Seaway is 2,000 miles of navigable waters and at some locations more than a mile wide across. This prophecy was an impossibility in my mind.100 Yet, today, I buy my water!\n* Haudenosaunee is the Seneca word to denote the People of the Longhouse and is sanctioned by the Confederacy of Six Nations to be the word used when referring to the Confederacy.

And it will prevail . . . . And we are all subject to it.).\n10 Respect for the water: Our villages were not built near the waters so as not to pollute the waters. In fact, there is no word in the Mohawk language for pollution or garbage! The root word for ugly/bad is added to a Mohawk word to make the new word an equivalent of being polluted. Therefore, the translation for polluted water is ugly water. We also go so far as to make sure when we draw water from the river that the container is dipped in the water with the current so that the waters natural flow will not be interrupted, even though dipping the container against the current will fill up the container faster.\n11 I need to interrupt to make a crucial point. I will sometimes be obliged to use the common English translation of a Mohawk word, but there is a conflict the reader must be aware of. These translated words are inadequate and do not do justice to the descriptive words found in indigenous languages. The common English equivalents have not embodied the precise connotations associated with words used in the Haudenosaunee languages. Although I cannot go through all the mistranslations, I have tried to correct the translations I am using in this paper. For example, when I refer to the three principles in the Great Law of Peacepeace, power and righteousnesspeace is not a correct translation of skennen; power is not a correct translation of kasatstenhse:ra; and righteousness does not do justice to kanikonri:io. Upon further examination of these three principles and from a Mohawk speakers perspective, a better translation for skennen is a state of peacefulness; a better equivalent for kasatstenhse:ra, if the neologism may be permitted, is a state of strengthfulness (further to this equivalent, Mohawk elders have explained kasatstenhse:ra as a strength in the unity of the people, not the power or might associated with guns or dictatorship); and a better translation for kanikonri:io is a state of goodmindedness.\n12 Joyce King et al., Haudenosaunee Position Paper on the Great Lakes (2005) (on file with Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy).\n13 JACOB THOMAS, TEACHINGS FROM THE LONGHOUSE135(1994).\n14 We are not to use the Peacemakers name unless it is done through a recital of the Great Law of Peace or through a condolence ceremony. His name remains sacred to us.\n15 I believe that the provenance of the expression, to bury the hatchet, came from the time when the Peacemaker lifted the Tree of Peace and threw in the weapons of war. The weapons were carried away by a stream which lay underneath the Tree of Peace and jettisoned all weapons of war, never to be brought up again, after which the Peacemaker stood the Tree of Peace upright so the Kaianerekowa continues to be held erect.\n16 Through Haudenosaunee oral traditional teachings, the Tree of Peace is the symbol for the Kaianerekowa. The white (white being a symbol of peace) roots extend to the four corners of the Earth. The leaves represent the government (chiefs and clanmothers) under which one can find protection. The trunk of the tree represents the people, for without the people, without the strength of the structure, there is no law.\n17 Michael K. Foster, On Who Spoke First at Iroquois-White Councils: An Exercise in the Method of Upstreaming, in EXTENDING THE RAFTERS: INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES TO IROQUOIAN STUDIES 183, 183 (Michael K. Foster et al., eds., 1984).\n18 The translated English word, chief, denotes only a leadership title. It does not acknowledge the chiefs moral character whereas the literal translation identifies them as good-minded men.\n19 I must stress this point. Before the appearance of the Peacemaker, there was warring among all Nations over hunting grounds. It was mortally dangerous to travel across Haudenosaunee Territory. Armed with the principles of the Great Law of Peace, the Peacemaker put an end to this conflict by using the concepts within the One Dish/One Spoon where people share hunting grounds equally. This agreement later expanded to other indigenous nations.\n20 Tobacco is the medium used to offer thanks, as directed by the Creator, to send a message of thanksgiving. The tobacco is a native species, not the common tobacco most people associate and used in cigarettes/cigars or pipes. The Mohawk word for indigenous tobacco is oionkwaonweh, which is commonly translated as sacred tobacco.\n21 That is, whether you are hunting, fishing, gathering water, or medicine, etc. leave enough for othersthe sharing principle.\n22 As explained to me, it was the Peacemaker who taught us to look seven generations into the future as a reminder of the future generations of people we are responsible for. A generation, during the Peacemakers time, was the lifetime of a person, which reached, in most instances, one hundred years of age. As agreements are made, not only are we, the Haudenosaunee, responsible to uphold the agreements made by the past generations, but to also uphold agreements seven generations into the future, ensuring they are afforded the same protection and rights. It is only a conjecture of mine that seven generations may be a term equivalent to what a person may have seen in her/his lifetime. For example, I knew my great-grandparents, my grandparents, my parents, my siblings, my children and now know my grandchildren. If the Creator is willing, I may have the privilege of knowing my great-grandchildren.\n23 See John C. Mohawk, Indians and Democracy: No One ever Told Us, in EXILED IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, supra note 4, at 43, 4372 (From Benjamin Franklin to Thomas Jefferson, the Founding Fathers were dramatically more familiar with Indian customs and lifestyles than has previously been acknowledged; and they celebrated that familiarity in a plethora of ceremonies and brotherhoods dedicated to the image of the American Indian, which generally have been unreported in mainstream American history.).\n24 WILLIAM N.

FOSTER, FROM THE EARTH TO BEYOND THE SKY: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC APPROACH TO FOUR LONGHOUSE IROQUOIS SPEECH EVENTS (NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MAN MERCURY SERIES, CANADIAN ETHNOLOGY SERVICE PAPER NO. 20, 1974) 67, 58 (stating, From the early published sources . . . it is known that the Iroquois had elaborate procedures for dealing with other tribes and the Europeans, and that they followed a closely circumscribed formal etiquette in treaty-making sessions, and Speakers always mention at least three types of water bodies from among a set of five . . . . The Seneca Longhouse speakers . . . mention either that the earth or the people are strengthened [ ] by water.). This being said, it is known protocol to open a meeting with the Thanksgiving Address, offer an elaborate process of condolence and to recite agreements (polishing the Covenant Chain). It is within these speeches that the sacredness of water prevails just by invoking the word ohnekanos (water). Any treaty-making procedures would include these speeches and both sides would agree with wampum belts, of which the Two Row Wampum and the Silver Covenant Chain would be part of the exchange, reciting the River of Life in speeches and as a way to live.\n36 Richard L.

These were the rules[,] and they told their sons to observe them as long as the world might last. Red Jacket reminded Pickering [Representative for George Washington] that in Sir William Johnsons [Indian Superintendent for the British] day certain ways of doing things had been established, which the Indians seemed to remember if white men had misplaced their writings.).\nWampum is a string of beads from the Quahog shell threaded together on a string or woven into a belt of purple and white symbols. The symbols were woven into a design as a reminder of an agreement. There were two colors for wampum: purple and white. White is a symbol for purity and peace. Purple represents the law and death.

The four-point Main Street approach has been the foundation of the organization since it’s inception, and the Washington State Main Street Program awarded our program full Main Street designation in 2011. The Alliance has been a Nationally Certified Main Street Program since 2012.\nWelcome to Gig Harbor’s Downtown Waterfront\nWe are a place tied to a history that predates European settlement. Native Americans came here to live in our safe harbor. Later Croatians launched our commercial fishing industry that remains alive to this very day. Scandinavians brought businesses to our town and immigrants came to the area from across the nation and Europe. This heritage is not just part of our past. We remain a place where our connection to the water provides a living for generations of families.\nToday, the water is not just a place of work; it is a place of recreation. Our Canoe and Kayak Racing Team are national champions. Locals enjoy a more leisurely pace whether by paddle, by sail, or by motor. And visitors get a warm welcome at our docks where they can walk, dine, shop, and even drink a local beer.\nGig Harbor is a place with captivating beauty. Everywhere you look there are scenes of uncommon splendor: watercraft of all shapes and sizes, historic homes and businesses, open views across the harbor, and those amazing moments when “the mountain” towers in the distance.\nGig Harbor is a place deeply connected. A stroll along our waterfront will bring you past historic net sheds, a stunning museum, the area’s largest collection of independent businesses and restaurants, and lovely parks. Our events bring the community together throughout the year. People gather here at festivals, concerts, films, gallery strolls, or family nights out.\nWe are a place where our past inspires our future, knowing that we can preserve what is great about this place while continuing to make our downtown waterfront and all that it means to us even better.\nWe are Gig Harbor, Washington…Tied to the Water.", "domain": "geography"}

Not only did we have high expectations, but this trip turned out to be one of our best holiday experiences in Japan.\nThe Shimanami Kaido is a 64-km long cycling path across five bridges and six islands stretched out over the Seto Inland Sea with Imabari (in Shikoku) on one end and Onomichi (Hiroshima prefecture) on the other. Coming from Shikoku, we started out in Imabari where we had reserved two Giant cross bikes at Sunrise Itoyama, as well as a parking space and a night at the cycling hotel for our return after two days of cycling. The bike rental station was impressive and they are well equipped for all kinds of cyclists, from pro cyclists to those who just want to cycle for a few hours with an electric bike.\nOff we go!\nPrepped with light day bags and no hotel booked for the night, we started off on our cross bikes cycling over the enormous, bike friendly bridges with stunning views over the Seto Inland sea, while stopping at various small islands to embrace local island life. It was a hot and humid day and thanks to an extensive google maps of all the shops, restaurants, cafes and hotels across the islands, we were able to locate a small restaurant on Omishima Island. We had a wonderful break there as the locals served us fresh orange juice and a 3-course meal with fresh ingredients. They were happy to see tourists stopping by, we had a chat and they asked us to leave them a message in a book.\nAs we thoroughly enjoyed the cycle thanks to the excellent bikes, smooth pathways and breathtaking viewpoints, we made good progress and decided to cycle the whole 64-km long route. Throughout the day I had checked what hotels were still available on the other side and we booked a hotel on the last island looking over to Onomichi to celebrate our achievement.\nThere are two cycling options on the Shimanami Kaido: you can either follow the recommended blue route, which is fastest and easiest, or you can follow red and yellow routes that take you round the scenic way, but are more hilly and take longer. As we mostly followed the blue route on the first day, we decided to cycle back some parts of the yellow and red routes which followed the coastline and were just absolutely stunning. On one island we took the very scenic route and climbed a steep hill with our bikes to go on a 360 degree observation platform. The salty ramen gave us strength and it was yet another accomplishment.\nWe stopped by the beach, paced down the bridges and hills and said hello to many friendly cyclists we met on route. In my opinion, anyone who is into cycling and plans a holiday in Japan should plan at least two days cycling on the Shimanami Kaido! It’s an unforgettable experience.\n‘Just a few more kilometers’, we were thinking, cycling the last 20 km in one go to get back to Imabari just before it got dark. It was just past the blue hour when we cycled over the final long bridge along a few other cyclists and we soaked in the final stunning views over the sea before arriving back at the cycling station and hotel. Before we returned the bikes it was time for a final photo with accomplished smiles! Little did we know then that the evening would get even better with us being able to have pizza and local craft beer in the hotel’s upscale restaurant and finally checking in to our very cosy and spacious room that we had booked out of convenience without having seeing photos.\nThis cycling trip was definitely an unforgettable experience and I can’t wait to do it all over again in 2021!\nIf you love cycling as much as we do, these blog articles might of interest to you:\n4 Comments Add yours", "domain": "geography"}

The weather proved the main consideration for both. Most important of all, I knew the Dempster Highway closed for a few weeks during the spring thaw. Starting in May I checked the government road web sites nearly every day. Winter dragged on and on, and they finally shut down the ice crossings five days later than usual. I reasoned that the ferries would most likely also start running about five days late, then worked backward from that to set my schedule.\nAs I waited, I found ways to busy myself with preparations. Most important, I bought a full-sized spare tire for my car (the Dempster Highway has a reputation for destroying tires). I emptied my frig of anything perishable, cleaned house, talked to passing overlanders. I also followed the news of the northern wildfires, with growing concern. My first plan had been to travel north along the Alaska highway, by way of Jasper. While that road may have been possible to drive despite the nearby forest fires, it didn't look enjoyable! My plans shifted as I waited, until finally departure day arrived.\nTo Dawson City\nFrom Vancouver to Smithers, the highway rolls mostly through farmland. While pleasant enough, the scenery didn't really interest me. On the way to Terrace I hit rain and fog, which made for some dramatic views. After brief side trips to Kitimat and Prince Rupert, I turned north onto the Cassiar Highway.\nIn November I had passed through Stewart briefly but didn't stop; the weather at the time made it look frankly depressing. In spring the place looked much more attractive, and the nearby glaciers more accessible. Bears liked it, too. Two or three wandered by the town's boardwalk that night but, apparently unlike some others, didn't venture down the main street.\nLeaving Stewart, I made a quick but profitable side trip to the nearby Salmon Glacier. While this road wasn't completely open, my Honda CR-V made it handily to the lookout. Driving onwards would have required going over a snow drift about 5-6 metres high. Four-wheel drive or not, that looked a bit much to tackle.\nThe drive up the Cassiar turned up a great variety of wildlife, including more bears than I've ever seen in such a short time. By the time I reached Jade City I think I'd passed a couple dozen black bears. These included one particularly young and stupid one that ran in front of me on the road, forcing me to hit the brakes quickly.\nAtlin's beautiful setting surprised me. The scenery reminded me of the area I'd grown up in, near Pincher Creek and Waterton Lakes. I had time to spare, since the ferries on the Dempster were still not running, so I spent a whole day relaxing in Atlin before pressing on to Skagway.\nWhite Pass, on the way to Skagway, proved the most scenic part of the whole drive. The snow had partially melted by then, framing the peaks and ponds well. Skagway itself seemed a decent town, but totally overrun by cruise ship tourists. One night sufficed for me. The next day I drove the length of the Klondike highway, up to Dawson City. That same day the ferries on the Dempster Highway began running, and the road to Tuktoyaktuk was finally open.\nThe Dempster Highway and Tuktoyaktuk\nFrom here travel was simple; there is only one road north from Dawson City. The Dempster Highway has a bit of a daunting reputation, no doubt amplified by local government promoting adventure tourism along it. I found it to be a pretty typical dirt and gravel road, just much longer than usual. Some parts of it could use resurfacing, as with most such roads I've driven. Still, I found its image exaggerated. My advice to aspiring Dempster travellers is not to panic, but do make sure you have a good spare tire along.\nParts of the highway had recently washed away in floods, but they had been rebuilt by that point. The ferry on the Peel River still struggled somewhat, with workers constantly rebuilding the dirt landings. This made driving off the ferry a bit more interesting than I liked, but caused no real problems. There are very few services on the road (make sure you fill up with gas at Eagle Plains) but quite a bit of traffic. In early June it was mercifully bug-free, but that presumably does not remain true for long.\nSome will not want to hear this, but for much of the drive north the terrain really looked much the same. The low valleys along the Dempster don't differ all that much from the high valleys farther south. Inuvik offered the first real signs of change. Sitting on top of a low hill, the town is built for subarctic weather. I found particularly interesting their central heating system, with insulated pipes running all over town above ground.\nFrom Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk requires only an easy day trip. The scenery here begins to look really different. The road winds over the rolling permafrost, past marshes and ponds. Towards the end you encounter Pingos, a distinctive local feature. These are small hills formed where water pools above permafrost.\nTuktoyaktuk, like Inuvik, is built for the weather — but that weather is more extreme there, and the adaptations more noticeable. The buildings sit on posts and pilings above ground, to avoid melting into the permafrost. They all looked heavily insulated, short on windows and doors. Off in the distance you can see the domes of the town's DEW station, presumably still keeping a radar eye open for invaders.\nFinally, I arrived at Flagpole Point. Ahead was only the Arctic Ocean. In early June, the ice on the harbour was just breaking up. It was possible to wade in (and I did), but not to run a boat yet. The wind howled and whatever wildlife was around must have hidden. It was an other-worldly site, one you could sit and watch for hours.\nIt was hard to make myself turn around and go home, and I felt a bit sad. In other places I have commented that when I was a kid, we'd go out for drives and I wanted to keep on going. This wasn't just an expression. I really wanted to drive those particular roads and see where they went. Now, fifty-odd years later, I had finally done it; gone all the way to the literal end of the road. I've driven almost all the main roads of Canada, from coast to coast to coast, and quite a few back roads too. There are still side trips to be made and plenty to see that I haven't, but it'll never be quite the same again.\nObviously, I did force myself to turn around and drive back again. The trip back down the Dempster Highway went a bit differently than the trip up, because the weather had changed from smoky haze to light rain. That provided many good prospects for photography, and I took several.\nBack in Dawson City, with my mission accomplished, I had a couple days to relax. Unlike my previous visit, this time the town was open for business. I finally got to see somebody drink one of the infamous Sourtoe Cocktails in the Downtown Hotel. In fact, I got to see an endless stream of people doing it (it's a quite touristy thing). Cannibalism was still not on my ToDo list, so I didn't partake personally.\nGoing back, I still had one new road to drive; the Top of the World Highway. This dirt road runs west from Dawson City into Alaska, and only opens when the snow's gone. The panoramic views from the top of this road made it worthwhile, even considering the winding track it turned into in Alaska. At the end of that I turned south on the Alaska Highway again, passing Kluane National Park on my way down to Whitehorse.\nSomewhere along this stretch I collected another star or two of windshield damage, to add to the 3 chips and large crack already there. Despite having driven my car some 45,000 km all over Canada, including the whole length of the Dempster and Labrador highways, it is an odd fact that all the windshield damage it's taken has happened on the Alaska Highway. If you're reading this with an eye to driving in the area, I suggest you keep that datum in mind and hold off on any windshield repairs until after you return home. It will save you some stress.\nI had wanted to continue on down the Alaska highway, stopping in at a few places I didn't get to see properly in November. With the worsening fire situation, though, I finally decided that would be a bad bet. So, I returned the way I'd come. The scenery looked remarkably different going south on the Cassiar, as opposed to north. It was a good choice; the fire news went from bad to worse while driving, but on that side of the mountains all was well.\nI stopped in Smithers, checking out the town as it's on my list of possible future places to live. It remains so; I liked what I saw. Continuing south, the scenery interested me no more than it had going north. I thought about visiting Barkerville again but opted not to, picturing potential tourist crowds there. So I drove straight home, stopping only to see the old Alexandra Bridge along the way.

One of the oldest neighborhoods in the city of Cincinnati, it was first settled by the Reverend James Kemper in 1804.\nThe Kemper Homestead is the oldest house in Cincinnati, a two-story log house, and was located between Park Avenue and Kemper Lane north of Windsor Street.\nLater, wealthy landowners established expansive estates and built housing for their employees. Schools and other training and educational opportunities were established and commerce in the historic Peebles Corner area flourished. From its very beginning, the outstanding characteristic of this area has been the diversity of the residents.\nOur neighborhood was a key part of the Underground Railroad with resident Harriet Beecher Stowe and with the Lane Seminary hosting abolitionist debates in the mid-19th century.\nDuring the first half of the 20th century, Peebles Corner, at E McMillan and Gilbert, became known as the second downtown because of its vibrant business district and close proximity to the downtown area.\nAt the end of the 20th century for a period of several years, community leaders formed the 45206 Alliance to create a vision for the neighborhood. That plan is still being used today as a guide for current and future development.\nIn 2013, the Cincinnati City Planning Commission formally adopted Form-Based Code in Walnut Hills. This type of zoning allows retail, commercial, office, and residential spaces to mix within the same development. Form-based code ensures that new or remodeled structures blend with the historic character of the neighborhood.\nLocated just two (2) miles northeast of downtown Cincinnati, Walnut Hills is home to a broad range of historic, cultural, and civic organizations:\nThe Harriet Beecher Stowe House is a State of Ohio historic site, focusing on the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.\nThe Walnut Hills Public Library is the first of nine (9) Cincinnati Carnegie libraries. This branch opened on Kemper Lane in 1906.\nPeebles Corner Historic District, focused around the E. McMillan Street and Gilbert Avenue intersection, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The intersection remains a key crossroads to our neighboring communities.\nArchitecture: Walnut Hills boasts a rich diversity of architectural styles including French Renaissance, Late Victorian, Classical Revival, Italianate, Art Deco and Contemporary. Rookwood still exists in residences throughout our community.\nCultural Treasures: Eden Park is one of Walnut Hills’ greatest treasures. It is home to the Art Museum, the Krohn Conservatory, the Seasongood Pavilion and Mirror Lake.\nThere are hundreds of creative people working individually and in collectives in Walnut Hills. Some of the city’s top architectural firms, sculptors, painters, jewelers, ceramic and glass artists, musicians, dancers, writers, illustrators, photographers, and designers are located in our community.\nAdditionally, our community addresses food insecurity through our community gardens, the Walnut Hills Soup Kitchen, the Walnut Hills Pantry, the Church of the Advent’s Open Door Ministry, Mercy Neighborhood Ministries and through other organizations.\nMore than thirty (30) traditional and non-denominational places of worship are available throughout our community.\nWalnut Hills is a warm and welcoming community. It is a great place for individuals and families to live whether you’re a long-time resident, renting your first apartment or owning a home.", "domain": "geography"}

Fresh off a triumphant season as Italy’s Serie A champions, SSC Napoli, in a collaborative endeavor with EA7, have introduced their home kit for the 2023/24 season. More than just a uniform, this new kit celebrates the profound connection between SSC Napoli, the vibrant city of Naples, and its passionate fan base scattered around the globe.\n2: A Cinematic Reveal: An Ode to Global Fans\nThe grand unveiling of the kit was orchestrated through a captivating video featuring a surfer adorning the new Napoli jersey. The light blue hue of the jersey, reflective of the serene waters surrounding the Italian locales of Naples, Capri, and Malibu, eloquently ties the club’s heritage to its fan base. This powerful visual metaphor not only signifies the expansive reach of the club but also underscores the deep bond between SSC Napoli and its global supporters.\n3: Jersey Details: Fusing Tradition and Innovation\nExamining the SSC Napoli 2023/24 EA7 home kit, one can appreciate the perfect blend of traditional design and innovative elements. Made from stretch tech fabric, the light blue jersey features raglan sleeves and white trims to provide a contrasting touch. The V-neckline adds a sleek touch to the overall aesthetic, while a tricolor print on the baseline of the sleeves injects a lively dash of color.\n4: Technological Innovations for Enhanced Comfort: Dry-touch Technology and More\nThe jersey integrates dry-touch technology, ensuring superior ventilation and comfort for the players, an essential feature given the intense physical demands of the sport. Amplifying the visual appeal of the shirt is the new ‘N’ pattern displayed prominently on the breathable technical material. This represents SSC Napoli and resonates with the fans’ strong sense of identity and belonging. The ensemble is completed by a silicon Napoli logo and a tricolor badge, making it a fitting representation of the club’s pride and passion.\n5: A Successful Collaboration: Valentina De Laurentiis and EA7\nThe creation of this remarkable kit marks the third successful collaboration between Valentina De Laurentiis and EA7. Their partnership has consistently yielded designs that marry style with innovation while remaining rooted in Napoli’s rich heritage. This latest kit is another testament to their commitment to pushing boundaries while honoring the club’s storied past.\n6: Symbol of Unity and Global Connectivity: More Than Just a Kit\nThe introduction of the new kit not only signals SSC Napoli’s readiness for the upcoming season but also stands as a tribute to the special relationship the club has nurtured with its fans worldwide. As we gear up for another action-packed football season, the SSC Napoli 2023/24 EA7 home kit emerges as a beacon of unity and global connectivity – a true embodiment of the ethos that the beautiful football game inspires.\n7: The Power of Symbols: The “N” on the Napoli Shirt\nDelving deeper into the design elements of the new SSC Napoli 2023/24 EA7 home kit, the symbolic ‘N’ pattern holds significant importance. Representing the club’s name and the city’s identity, the ‘N’ resonates deeply with fans and players alike. The club’s name, originating from the city of Naples, is thoughtfully incorporated into the shirt design, allowing fans to wear their loyalty proudly.\n8: Superior Fabric Technology: A Focus on Comfort\nFurther attention is drawn to the technical advancements of the jersey. Dry-touch technology promotes ventilation and provides exceptional comfort, ensuring the players’ optimum performance on the pitch. The stretch tech fabric enhances the durability and flexibility of the kit, critical features considering the rigors of the game.\n9: Tribute to Heritage: The Tricolor Badge\nAdding another level of distinction to the jersey is the tricolor badge. This badge enhances the visual appeal and serves as a nod to SSC Napoli’s rich Italian heritage. It complements the overall design and is a proud symbol of the club’s national identity.\n10: Global Connectivity: The Spirit of Football\nIn conclusion, unveiling the SSC Napoli 2023/24 EA7 home kit beautifully encapsulates the spirit of global connectivity inherent in football. It emphasizes that while SSC Napoli is undoubtedly an Italian club with deep roots in Naples, its influence and fan base extend globally. The kit is a testament to the club’s commitment to its fans, regardless of where they may be. As we all look forward to the thrilling games of the upcoming season, we celebrate this symbol of unity and shared passion. SSC Napoli’s new kit reminds us that football, in essence, is more than just a game – it’s a universal language that connects us all.", "domain": "geography"}

As you walk by a sale at a virtual jeans store, Web cameras in the real store let you see how crowded it actually is, in case a popular item is selling out. Your avatar, set to your body's measurements, tries on the jeans and spins around to show them to your pals. You might buy the pants online or visit the physical store later. Either way, you'd have had a fun afternoon without leaving your cubicle.\nfor the complete article click here", "domain": "geography"}

The Greeks founded colonies here in 6 BC and were the first to plant grape vines; subsequently settled by the Romans, the region continued to nurture the vines that were an essential part of their civilization. The Roman architectural legacy is all around – Nîmes, Agde and Narbonne are prime examples – and ever since, wine growing has been inseparably linked to Languedoc-Roussillon’s identity.\nThe construction of railway lines between southern and northern France encouraged production levels to soar, with some 420,000 hectares of land under vines at one point, but a dramatic decline in wine consumption in the second half of the 20th century resulted in serious overproduction issues.\nToday, the region produces an extensive range of world-class wines, thanks to its clement climate, excellent terroir, a policy of replacing and replanting grape varieties, and the sustained efforts of a growing number of dedicated vignerons committed to making wines of outstanding quality.", "domain": "geography"}

In Nepal, most farmers still rely on rains for irrigation. With rainfall patterns changing as climate change is progressing, having access to reliable irrigation solutions is all the more important for Nepalese farmers.\nSindhupalchowk has been the second most affected district by the 2015 earthquake in Nepal. It took the lives of 3429 people in this district and 4058 people were injured. The impact on livelihoods was also significant, with many irrigation systems affected. 87% of water supply schemes were damaged across the district. 97 irrigation schemes were partially or fully damaged, causing loss of livelihoods to farmers of 5803 hectares of land. Caritas Nepal has worked for over three years in four wards of Chautara-Sangachowk-Gadhi municipality and Indrawati rural municipality to help repair the water systems and livelihoods of the community.\nSo far, altogether 12 irrigation canals and one irrigation pond have been repaired and reconstructed under the project, leading to 10478 Ropani (1317 acres) new agricultural lands for 1054 households (approximately 5300 people). After the construction of irrigation systems, the community people are able to irrigate their agricultural fields all year round. For example, earlier, in Hyapla Khola irrigation canal was only used during the monsoon season, but now 30 households have started cultivating mustard and wheat in the winter season also.\nBansbote Nimote irrigation canal has turned the surrounding area into blooming maize fields. Previously the land was barren, but now the 350m long canal channels water from a river to the surrounding fields.\nKumar Khatri is pleased for the new irrigation source. He has recently sold 600kg of maize from these fields. 45 households are benefitting from the canal and they have also contributed about 10% of the construction price. Per person investment has been about 2600 rupees, which goes a long way to helping food security in this area.\nAnother new irrigation system is under construction in Jor Change. It will serve 36 households and 121 ropani (over 6 ha) of land, when finished.\nThis area is also prone to occasional drought. To alleviate the insufficiency of water, the project has guided community members to collect waste water and use it for kitchen gardens.\nSuntali Purkuti in Jamnuney village has benefitted from use of drip irrigation. She is enthusiastic about her cucumber farm and would in fact like to enlarge it. She is looking for more land to grow it as she at the same time been learning commercial vegetable farming through the local farmers group. She tells that she has sold 22 kg cucumbers recently and in fact most of it already on the way to the market.\nThe project makes sure that infrastructure given to beneficiaries is sustainable. Suntali knows how to fix blockages in the drip irrigation system, and before the end of the project she will be still be linked directly with spare part suppliers.\nSim Khola Maleldaghari water scheme in Bhedabari village has been now in function for about two years. The community has full ownership of running it. Though the water user committee faced some challenges of collecting the water ser fees, three months ago the leadership of the committee was successfully changed. They are now again able to collect 50 rupees per month from the member households.\nAt the handover of the water scheme, Caritas gave a lump sum for maintenance costs of the scheme and the community matched it with equal amount 90% of this amount is still available for maintenance costs “, explains the committee chairman Purna Bahadur Karki. The future of the water scheme looks good and locals use it for drinking as well as improving their farms. The chairman himself is growing cucumbers and invites us to this cooling snack afterwards.", "domain": "geography"}

She points to a hole protected by a wall of sand that has been decorated with sticks and seaweed and shells.\nHe dumps the water into the hole just as a rush of water comes streaming in from both sides.

The true spirit of Moldova.\nYou might know Moldovan traditions, the Moldovan way of being, and local cuisine, and you might even feel on your skin how country life in Moldova is….all in a single weekend spent in Butuceni. And we think that all the feelings and emotions you’ve gathered there will make you come again for a country weekend at the country.\nButuceni is a village like many other villages in Moldova, which still breaths the smell of mowed grass, with sheep, cattle, or horses in valleys-but at the same time it is a neat and preserved village, a memorable place through unique landscapes created by nature for centuries,and in which people live their lives the way their grandparents did, leaving room for modernization,but preserving tradition. You may have visited Butuceni,heard reviews from friends or online,or this village has become a popularized and developed touristic destination, which hosts thousands of tourists every year,giving them extensive exploration opportunities and unique events. Here are some destinations and opportunities to visit Old Orhei and Butuceni village. Butuceni Village is situated in Orhei District,31 km away from Chisinau.\nOn the way to Butuceni, you can discover the beauty of Old Orhei by visiting tourist objects such as The Birth of Virgin Mar Church, The “Cave” cave and the Getic Fortress Butuceni, registered in the Register for State Protected Monuments – a complex of historical monuments on the river Raut. The place impresses through the steep relief of the rocks along with the plains. Millions of years ago, this was the territory of the Sarmatian Sea and the limestone hills form a less typical landscape for the surroundings. About 350 cave complexes are known around the area,100 of which have been dug by people to create monastic places,and 250 karst groves have been formed by natural processes. Therefore, the region is perfect for exploratory trips. Between these steep and shady banks, you can discover the village Butuceni,which can serve as a great rest stop,where you can find several pensions and hostels with high-quality service.\nEco Resort Butuceni.\nEco resort Butuceni is the place where you can stop for dinner or to stay overnight or even for several days. The guesthouse consists of peasant houses, preserving the way they had been built, houses with old shutters, mural paintings, inlaid wood doors, and low fences so that you can see your neighbors or give them a hand when needed.\nIn these houses, food is cooked on a wood-burning stove and people sleep on a “lejanca”(sunbed). The pies, the marmalade, the sarmale(stuffed cabbage), and the pickles are the specialty of the house, being served in a room decorated with Moldovan carpets, basil, and a real carpet weaving machine. Here you will taste fresh fruit and vegetables from the guesthouse gardens. The peasant farm with delight you, and you will be provided with a carriage for trips through the village…\nOn the narrow streets of Butuceni, you can see children running barefoot or peasants riding, and you can also stop at fountains with fresh and cool water. At the same time, modernism has slowly slipped in here, the pansion was given three stars, being connected who all utilities, and having even a Spa center and an inside pool.", "domain": "geography"}

This was early morning yet, and the everything was still in shadow, and a very deep blue, but that of course was easily to correct back to neutral white tones throughout the snow. This particular morning was also quite foggy, which helped visually separate the trees on the riverbank, from the trees and cliffs behind them.

It was our first vacation in Croatia and our first time sailing in the Adriatic Sea.\nA few years ago, Croatia was called a “hidden-gem of Europe“, but nowadays mass-tourism is common during peak season. Especially in popular cities and the best-known islands, it can feel a bit overcrowded. To go on a yacht charter tour in Croatia gave us the possibility to escape the crowds and experience this beautiful country from its best side. We were able to create an individual route and therefore made the best out of the trip!\nDisclaimer: Sail Croatia invited us for one week to one of their yacht charter tours, shared with a group of eight people (excluding the skipper).\nThis is a comprehensive travel guide and a detailed review of the yacht charter tour with “Sail Croatia” and a rough guide about the coastal region of Split.\nThe land of 1000 islands\nThe coastal region of Croatia is stretched over more than 2000 kilometers and includes about 1200 islands. Bright blue water, ancient towns with scenic harbors, stone caves and pristine bays await millions of travelers and tourists every summer.\nWhere to go / our itinerary\nCroatia has multiple regions to sail, you can choose between the northern regions of Istra and Kvarner, the region of Zadar, and the more southern regions of Split and Dubrovnik. It’s almost impossible to explore all the magnificent places in one go though! 😉\nThe popular region of Split\nOur yacht charter vacation with Sail Croatia started in the ancient town of Split. We definitely recommend spending at least one full day in Split to explore some of the numerous scenic places in the city!\nCrew meeting in Split\nOn our first day, we met our sailing crew and discussed the route with our skipper. We stayed in the harbor of Split for the first night and started early the next morning.\nDo you consider going on vacation in Split?\nWe also wrote a full blog post about the best islands near Split.\nBrâc and Zlatni Rat\nOur first stop was a small and remote bay close to Milna, in Brač. The water was super clear and we enjoyed the afternoon with stand up paddling and a refreshing jump in the sea. Later this day, we sailed with a good wind to one of the most famous beaches of Croatia: Zlatni Rat.\nOn our third day, we woke up really early for sunrise to experience Zlatni Rat without the crowds. The sea was calm and flat when we went on to Komiža on Vis Island where we would spend the next night. In the afternoon, we decided to go on a boat trip to Stiniva Beach and Budikovac Island, which was an amazing excursion!\nWell rested, we kept on moving to one of our personal highlights: the fabulous town of Hvar. We moored in Palmižana, which is a simple and small harbor on the Paklinski Otoci Island. From there you can easily take a taxi boat to Hvar, which will cost about 10€/12$ for a return trip.\nOn the day after we arrived in Palmižana, we did a boat trip to see some of the numerous scenic bays around Hvar. Many of these bays are only accessible by boat!\nIn the afternoon we explored the town itself and we can tell you: Hvar is absolutely beautiful! Lovely alleyways, excellent restaurants, gorgeous houses, and ancient churches make it worth to explore the town for at least a couple of hours. The best view you will get from the majestic fort “Španjola”.\nOn our fifth day, the typical southeast wind came back and we were able to set the sails again! For the next-to-last night, we anchored in a bay at Šolta – no town, no harbor, just us and other sailors – a unique experience that we can highly recommend when you go sailing in Croatia. It feels so good to be away from all the hustle and bustle!\nAfter a quick tour with our SUPs around the bay in the early morning, we headed back to the marina of Split, where we also spent the last night.\nBest time for sailing in Croatia\nThe peak season matches the peak summer/sailing season in Croatia in July and August. Nevertheless, the regatta season already starts in April and lasts until the end of October.\nAs mentioned, Croatia is not a hidden-gem anymore and the peak tourist season means a lot of tourists in nearly every bay, beach, and bar.\nWe suggest choosing a time window before or after the peak season. Decent sailing is possible in Croatia during this time, temperatures are high enough, but you can also find some privacy in certain bays.\nWe were sailing in Croatia at the beginning of August. During our trip, we were able to sail on 3 out of 7 days (on some days we had no wind or wind from the wrong direction). The harbors were completely full normally, but we’ve always found a place for the night.\nYacht charter tours with Sail Croatia\nDepending on what you are looking for, (Sail) Croatia has it all – from big party cruises to private yacht charter tours. Whether you are looking for romance, adventure, wellness or good nightlife, Sail Croatia offers programs for every type of traveler.\nPrivate yacht charter\nWe chose a relaxing 7 day trip on a yacht from Sail Croatia. We shared the trip with 5 other people (plus skipper), which was quite an experience on a tiny space for one week.\nThe advantage of a yacht tour with a small group compared to a large motor cruiser is a more intimate experience and has the benefit of cooking your own food. On top of that, we love the idea of traveling without emissions but only with the power of the wind.\nOur private yacht: The “Libertine”\nThe private yacht was completely new, clean and comfortable. You can compare the life on a boat with a cozy campervan on water.\nEven Timo fit in the cabin with his 2 meters height!\nWe had hot water, air-con, Wifi (it worked!), a toilet with shower, a kitchen, a common room, and a private twin cabin.\nSailing in Croatia with a skipper\nSailing with a skipper is not essential in Croatia in case you have a sailing license but very advisable.\nOur skipper knew the region very well, showed us hidden bays, thought us the basics of sailing and had great mooring skills (this is not to sneeze at, the harbors are super full during peak time and the parking space is very narrow in the marinas).\nThe skipper may ask you for a helping hand in some situations.\nHarbors and marinas\nIn Croatia, you can find different types of marinas:\n- commercial marinas\n- municipal marinas\n- sports marinas\nNormally all types of marinas do NOT differ from each other a lot, usually, all of them have transit piers or berths. During the summer, it is also possible to moor in small harbors, fishing clubs, and waterfronts. These are the cheaper options compared to the other harbors.\nWHY WE LOVED SAILING IN CROATIA\nExploring Croatia with a sailing boat was definitely an incredible experience! Sailing is simply much more fun and exciting than traveling in a car or a bus! Additionally, it is not only a beautiful mode of transportation but also a great and unique adventure in itself.\nFAQ and tips\nWhat kind of luggage should I bring? – soft-sided bags!\nWhat currency should I bring? – Kuna (not Euro)\nShould I bring linen or towel? – No, only beach towels!\nAre there any extra costs and fees? – Yes, there is!\n- A tourist tax of 1.50€ per person per day\n- you have to buy your own food\n- expect to go on 1-2 boat trips or water taxis\n- plan some money for tourist attractions, restaurants, and night-outs\n- it is common to invite the skipper for off the boat meals and tip the skipper at the end of the trip!\nFood and drinks on the mainland (in Split) are way cheaper compared to the islands.\nPreparing yourself and the crew, in the beginning, will save you money for the week.\nYou can bring reusable water bottles or buy only one big water canister and refill it in every harbor. Tap water is drinkable in the whole region of Split and the islands.\nExcited to go sailing in Croatia now? Read our full blog post about the best islands near Split.\nSailing in Croatia is the best recommendation we have for a vacation in Croatia. To be honest, this was our first time in this country, but our experience is hardly beatable. It might be slightly more expensive than other kinds of vacation trips, but we think it’s absolutely worth it.", "domain": "geography"}

Deliciosi) from Brazil\nThe natural distribution of species of Lactarius sect. Deliciosi is mainly in the northern hemisphere, where they grow in ectomycor-rhizal symbiosis mainly with conifers. Several species in this sec-tion are regionally well known and appreciated due to their culinary use. In South America, there is limited knowledge of their presence and harvesting, while their culinary value remains underexploited. Recently, field campaigns in pine plantations in southern Brazil revealed wide presence of Lactarius sect. Deliciosi species. Morpho-logical and molecular identification approaches confirmed that all Brazilian collections correspond to one European species, Lactarius quieticolor. Fruiting bodies occurred in plantations of Pinus taeda and/or P. elliottii, on acidic soils, and under humid climate with mild to hot summers. A review of edibility and organoleptic properties confirmed both L. quieticolor and its commonly misapplied name, L. deliciosus, in South America as edible and of high quality. Several other L. sect. Deliciosi species are less appreciated or with unknown palatability. Due to low potential for long-distance dispersal, an ecto-mycorrhizal partner switch from European to North American pine species is proposed, which may have happened in South America for both allochthonous symbiotic partners. There is still a possibility that other combinations were established, including combinations with less valuable species from L. sect. Deliciosi.\nCopyright (c) 2020 The Author(s)\nThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.\nFrom Volume 92 (2019) on, the content of the journal is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License.

So recap at the start but I jump straight into the video about a minute in. So travel Alberta invited me to check out Edmonton which is about 3 hours from Calgary. It was a super chilled trip and I was given an itinerary to follow so this is basically what I got up to. There were definitely some activities I would not usually choose however characteristic of Edmonton (you'll see in the next vlog as well) After Edmonton I actually planned a little trip to Banff which was awesome. Those videos will be coming soon so make sure you stay tuned because it really was great. I hope you like this one!

On 12 October Historic England announced that it was going to investigate and assess a feature in the River Hamble in Hampshire that I had identified as the possible remains of Henry V’s great ship Holy Ghost. The media reaction has been intense and very positive, but it has made me think some more about the ‘how do we know?’ question. This blog aims to go some way towards answering it (1).\nBack in 1982, when working in the (now sadly long-gone) Archaeological Research Centre of the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, I was looking one day at an aerial photograph of the Burseldon stretch of the River Hamble in Hampshire. Near to the known wreck of Henry V’s great ship Grace Dieu I spotted a shape resembling one end of a large ship, marked in the mud. This led me to think that a sizeable and perhaps very old vessel might be buried there. Knowing that that there was documentary evidence that the Holy Ghost had been laid up at Bursledon, it made me think that there was a possibility that the ‘ship-shape’ might mark the location of the Holy Ghost. My then Head of Department, Dr (now Professor) Sean McGrail, looked at the evidence I had put together in a document entitled ‘Bursledon II?’ (Bursledon I being the Grace Dieu) and decided that ARC would investigate further. The fieldwork was decidedly low-tech – we probed the mud with long metal rods from a boat – but about six feet under the mud the rods started hitting something solid in the area of the ship-shape. I can still remember the sense of relief that we had not come on a wild-goose chase!\nThe presence of the solid object was also confirmed by sonar work carried out by a University of Southampton postgraduate student, Hanna Steyne, in 2001 (2). Historic England will be undertaking further work next year and it is hoped that this will tell us whether or not the Holy Ghost lies here (Historic England is also assessing the site for statutory protection under the Protection of Wrecks Act). I think that there is a real possibility that this is the Holy Ghost, but leaving aside the identity of the site for the moment, I wanted to write something about the documentary evidence for fates of the Holy Ghost and Henry’s three other great ships.\nThe four great ships were clearly intended as war-winning weapons. They were hugely expensive, absorbing about one-third of total spending on the royal ships between 1413 and 1422, but three of them seem to have justified the vast amounts spent on them. Their basic details were as follows (3):\nTrinity Royal, 500-540 tons burden, built (rebuild) at Greenwich, Kent, entered service 1415\nHoly Ghost, 740-760 tons burden, built (rebuild) at Southampton, entered service 1415\nJesus, 1,000 tons burden, built at Smallhythe, Kent, entered service 1417\nGrace Dieu, 1,400 tons burden, built at Southampton, entered service 1420\nThe Trinity Royal and Holy Ghost took part in the two battles in 1416 and 1417 that broke French seapower and opened the way for Henry V’s second, much deadlier invasion of France in 1417. The Jesus very probably took part in the 1417 battle as well, though the Grace Dieu was completed too late to play a serious part in the sea war, and its one known voyage ended in fiasco (4).\nThe great ships were all moored in the River Hamble from the latter part of 1420. With a wooden fort called the Bulwerk at its mouth, and two heavy harbour defence chains, the Hamble provided a sheltered and well-defended anchorage for the king’s fleet (5).\nHenry V died in 1422, and most of his remaining ships were sold off in the next few years. The great ships were kept, however – perhaps the royal government believed that they could form the core of a reborn royal fleet, if needed. A lot of money was spent on keeping them afloat – paying shipkeepers to live aboard as small maintenance crews, employing shipwrights and caulkers, and purchasing pitch, tar and other materials, along with extra pumps. Because they were mostly organic objects, Henry’s warships were wasting assets, subject to decay and sudden leaks. The leakiest of the lot seems to have been the Holy Ghost, which in 1423 received the attentions of a dyver named Davy Owyn, who worked under the hull to stop up cracks. This may be the earliest record of a diver being used for ship maintenance work (6).\nThough Nelson’s HMS Victory lies in a Georgian stone dock, it is supported at the sides by shores, just as the Holy Ghost was\nHowever, by the spring of 1426 the damage caused by natural decay, bad repair and storms left the Holy Ghost in a very poor condition. The authorities must have feared that it was close to sinking. The mast, rigging and much other gear and stores were removed, and taken to the king’s storehouse at Southampton for safekeeping. Meanwhile, a dock was dug for the ship. This was no mere hole in the riverbank, but a construction project that occupied 96 labourers for much of May and June 1426. Timber for the work was bought on land owned by Titchfield Abbey, and trundled to the site by cart. The timber consisted of a dozen large pieces of wood to go underneath the hull as stocks or keel blocks, and 100 shores to support the ship at the sides. The time, money, resources and care used in making the dock strongly suggests that at the time the aim was to preserve the ship for future repair or rebuilding.\nAs much water and sand as possible was emptied out of the ship before it was docked on 21 June 1426. The operation involved 80 sailors, as well as an unknown number of craftsmen, and they were kept fed and watered with supplies of bread, fish and local Hamble cider. Jordan Brownyng, the man who served as the ship’s only master from 1415 to 1422, went to live aboard as shipkeeper. He had already worked as shipkeeper on the Holy Ghost when it was afloat, but that was with a team of four other men. This time, he was alone, and according to the records of the king’s ships he spent the next 1,622 days, sometimes working day and night, pumping out water and baling out mud. This backbreaking and ultimately futile job finished about the end of November 1430. Brownyng left the ship, and this must mark the point at which the government gave up all hope of ever repairing the Holy Ghost, and left it to rot (7).\nBut where was the dock? The account for docking the ship is very detailed, but ironically is very vague as to location – ‘near Southampton’, is all it says, which is not much help. Though the government had given up on the Holy Ghost as a ship, it was still used intermittently over the next twenty years or so as a source of materials, and documents from this period tell us where the ship lay. The accounts for the king’s ships between 1439 and 1442 are explicit about the Holy Ghost’s location. When 254 boards were salvaged from the ship’s cabins, the accounts say that the boards came out of ‘the king’s ship Holigoste, being at Bruselden’ (Bursledon). This is backed up by the previous set of accounts, which records payments to workmen taking iron chains, probably shroud chains, out of (in this order) the Holy Ghost and Trinity Royal. The men took the ironwork in a boat to Southampton, the account noting that the boat went from ‘Brisselden (Bursledon) and Hamble where the said decayed ships in this way are…’. To my mind, the evidence of the accounts is incontrovertible: the Holy Ghost and its dock were at Bursledon. The last set of royal accounts to mention the ship, from 1447-52, describe it as ‘sunk in the sea (sic) and in this way broken’. As the Holy Ghost never went anywhere after 1426, this phrase most likely means that the ship and its supports had collapsed into the dock, and by 1452 the vessel was mostly underwater (8).\nBursledon was also the last resting-place of the biggest of the great ships, the Grace Dieu. The ship stayed afloat at least 14 years, moored in the Hamble from 1420 to 1434. Part of the ship’s giant mainmast was removed in 1432, probably to lighten the vessel, but it was finally laid up in a dock on the mud at Bursledon on 1 August 1434. The dock for the Grace Dieu does not seem to have been anywhere near as deep or elaborate as that for the Holy Ghost – there is no record of stocks or shores, for example – though it was surrounded with a security hedge (probably thorn bushes, natural barbed wire) and an enclosure designed to deflect the water current from the hull. Tellingly, no shipkeeper was left aboard. Just under five years later, on the night of 7 January 1439, the ship was hit by lightning. It caught fire and probably burned to the waterline. Large amounts of ironwork and timber were salvaged from the wreck, but then the derelict was left alone, to re-emerge in public consciousness in the 19th century (9).\nThe end for the other two great ships was less dramatic. At first, the Trinity Royalwas moored at Bursledon. At some point between 1 September 1429 and 31 August 1430 (8 Henry VI), its single great mast, shroud, top and various other items of gear were removed. Taking out the mast was a difficult job, and a man was sent from Southampton to Sandwich to recruit a team of 15 ‘discreet and wise’ foreign shipmasters, led by a man named Peter Johnson. These men carried out the work, assisted by a number of other mariners. The ship was then towed from Bursledon to Hamble. It was emptied of mud and ballast, and laid up in a ‘digging’ (fossura) in the mud (le Wose – ‘ooze’), because of its decay. It is probable that by ‘Hamble’, Hamble-le-Rice (modern Hamble) was meant rather than Hamble Hook on the other side, which was normally called either ‘Hook’ or ‘Hamble Hook’ (10).\nThe mention of a ‘digging’ rather than a dock, and the lack of any expenditure on wooden stocks and shores to support the hull, may mean that its deterioration was too far advanced to make it worth preservation. It looks as if the Trinity Royal was simply dumped.\nThe reference that it was towed from Bursledon to Hamble in order to be laid up is pretty conclusive evidence that the Trinity Royal was at Hamble. However, additional confirmation is offered by the 1437-39 payment (mentioned above) for taking iron chains out of this ship and the Holy Ghost. Likewise, a payment account for removing cabin boards from the Trinity Royal between 1439 and 1442, says that the ship was at Hamble (11).\nThe planned fate of the fourth great ship, the Jesus, was at first similar to that of the Holy Ghost. Like the Trinity Royal, the Jesus was initially moored at Bursledon. Its mast, shroud, top, yard, bowsprit and various other pieces of gear were taken out there in August 1432, and transported to the king’s storehouse in Southampton. The ship was subsequently towed by stages to Southampton, where it was docked. The dock was built between 1 September 1432 and 31 August 1433 by a group of labourers, and the ship was put on the stokkes within it for ‘remaking, repairing and renewing’. The intention of the king’s Council at the time was for the ship to be ‘made and repaired’ at some future date, which explains the care and no doubt expense lavished on the dock. However, there is no record of any refurbishment work being carried out on the Jesus, though it does not seem to have been mined for timber, boards and nails in the ways that the other great ships were (12).\nOn 3 December 1446 ‘one feeble and perished ship called the Jesus… lying at Southampton’ was granted to Christopher Barton and Richard Greneacres, servants of Cardinal Beaufort. The subsequent fate of the ship is unknown. The remains of a large ancient vessel were uncovered off American Wharf at Southampton in 1848, and it was suggested in 1971 that this might have been the hull of the Jesus, though some doubt has been cast on this identification (13).\nWhether the ship-shape that I spotted on the aerial photograph in 1982 proves to be the remains of the Holy Ghost or not, it does not alter the fact that the official records of the king’s fleet show that the great ship was docked at Bursledon. Anyone travelling along the Hamble in the years between the summer of 1434 and early January 1439 would have been confronted by the spectacle of three enormous derelicts, the Trinity Royal at Hamble and the Holy Ghost and Grace Dieu at Bursledon. Even in their decay, the great ships must still have made most contemporary shipping look like minnows.\n© Ian Friel 2015\n(1) Historic England, 12 October 2015: http://historicengland.org.uk/news-and-features/news/historic-wreck-identified.\n(2) H.

A referendum held in Crimea two days before in full compliance with standard democratic procedures and the rules of international law, shocked many by its results: there was an 82% turnout rate, with almost 97% of those casting their ballots in favor of reunification with Russia. These numbers were so astonishing that there still seem to be many people in the West who cannot bring themselves to believe how much the Crimeans truly longed to return home. And indeed, without an awareness of this land’s heroic history that has been so liberally washed in Russian blood, this public enthusiasm might seem irrational, or even artificial.\nUnderstanding why they made this choice requires a careful look at what Russia has always meant to Crimea, as well as vice versa. This common history and pride emanates from literally every place and object in Crimea. The ancient Greek city of Chersonesus, where in 988 AD St. Grand Prince of Kiev Vladimir was baptized, was founded here. It would truly be difficult to overstate the significance this fabled region holds for Russia. The colony was established on the Crimean Peninsula by the ancient Greeks, 500 years before the birth of Christ. The footsteps of St. Andrew, one of Jesus’ original disciples, who is known as ‘the apostle to the southern, eastern, and northern shores of the Black Sea’, are found here. Crimea is the place where the blood of Apostle Peter’s disciple St. Clement was spilt for Christ, consecrating the soon-to-be-Christian Rus and here the Slovenian apostles, St. Cyril and Methodius, preached the Gospel. Prince Vladimir’s conversion to Christianity in the Crimean city of Chersonesus paved the way for the Russian civilization and made an invaluable contribution to world history and culture.\nIn the tenth century, Russian princes founded the Tmutarakan principality on the shores of the Black and Azov seas, which sat on the Crimean shore on the Kerch Peninsula, along with the city of Korchev (now known as Kerch). This was the historical period during which the Slavs of Kievan Rus gradually put down roots throughout Crimea. It was in Old Crimea, Sudak, Mangup, and Chersonesus that the Slavs comprised the most significant part of the population.\nTmutarakan quickly become the world’s second most important port, after Constantinople, through which passed almost all 11th-12th century trade routes that crossed the sea or steppe. The son of Grand Prince Vladimir, Mstislav, who ruled the principality until 1036, consolidated and expanded its borders. At the end of the tenth century, the remnants of the restored Byzantine Bosporan Kingdomwere incorporated into the principality. Much later, a marble slab was found on the Taman Peninsula with an inscription dating to 1068:\nIn the summer of 6576 [since the creation of the world, which corresponds to the year 1068 – OR] Prince Gleb measured across the frozen sea, from Tmutarakan to Korcheva, 14,000 sazhen [which is about 28 km – OR].\nAs the Cuman people increasingly intruded into Rus’ at the end of the 11th century, Tmutarakan was virtually cut off from Kievan Rus’ and lost its independence, by 1094 finding itself under the rule of the Cumans, Byzantium, the Golden Horde, Genoa, and Turkey.\nAt the end of 18th century, Empress Catherine the Great worked to see Crimea returned to Russia. It was the Russian Empire’s dominion over Crimea that rescued the ruins of Chersonesus, so sacred to Russian history, from complete oblivion. The Empress, with the willing assistance of Prince Grigory Potemkin, is remembered for founding a naval base, which was named Sevastopol, in Akhtiar harbor (now known as the Bay of Sevastopol). The history of Sevastopol tells the remarkable story of Russian military valor and fortitude.\nSevastopol, Balaklava, Kerch, Malakhov Hill, and Sapun Ridge are landmarks that embody Russian military glory and true valor. Each of them has been bathed in the blood of the soldiers who battled fearlessly there to defend a future of peace. The 349 days of the heroic defense of Sevastopol during the Crimean War will forever be commemorated in the histories of Russia and of these two kindred peoples, as will the 250-day defense of the city during WWII.\nThe armies of Britain, France, Turkey, and Sardinia (Italy) invaded the Crimean Peninsula in 1854. On Sept. 13, this city, which had never before faced aggression from any direction but the sea, found itself under siege. Fortifications and gun batteries were constructed while under fire from enemies who held an overwhelming advantage in troops and cannons. The city’s defense was directed by the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Vladimir Kornilov, and his subordinate, Vice Admiral Pavel Nakhimov. Five battleships were sunk in order to prevent the enemy from gaining entry to Sevastopol Harbor, and naval guns and crews arrived to join the defenders. The tenacity and patriotic fervor of the Russian soldiers, sailors, and townspeople astonished the world. On Oct. 5 the invaders began the first bombardment of Sevastopol, during which the city’s defenses suffered no great losses, but Admiral Kornilov was mortally wounded. The hub of the defense then shifted to Malakhov Hill. On March 28, 1855 the invaders began a second assault. Although at the cost of a large number of casualties, they succeeded in pressing our positions. The third and fourth assault ended in the same way as the previous onslaughts, but on June 28 Vice Admiral Nakhimov was killed during an exchange of gunfire. The French General Jean-Jacques Pélissier, the commander of the allied forces, was ordered by Napoleon III to capture the fortress, regardless of the toll. After the fifth (!) and equally unsuccessful (!) attack, the allied forces began to prepare for a decisive strike on the half-destroyed Russian fortifications. The sixth and final assault on Sevastopol began on Aug. 27. The barrage involved eight French and five British divisions, plus one brigade from Sardinia – a total of 60,000 combatants – who fought against 40,000 Russians, most of whom had been diverted to the back line of the defense. The fortunes of the battle shifted back and forth. The French were able to capture and hold Malakhov Hill. At the order of the commanding general, Mikhail Gorchakov, the defenders retreated to the southern side of Sevastopol, blowing up the powder magazines and sinking the remaining ships. This outward defeat at Sevastopol sapped the strength of the invaders’ troops, and they were forced to agree to peace negotiations on conditions that were far different from those they had expected at the beginning of the war. The defense of Sevastopol – the most vivid page in the history of the Crimean War – demonstrated once again the indefatigable spirit of the Russian soldier and his ability to fight even under the most difficult conditions of siege, when there seemed no chance for deliverance.\nAfter 87 years, a new siege, and again a heroic defense and indefatigable spirit, awaited Sevastopol. Nazi troops invaded Crimea on Oct. 20, 1941 and within 10 days had reached the outskirts of Sevastopol. The city was not prepared in advance to defend itself from an approach by land, but the attempt by the Germans and Romanians to take it forthwith did not succeed. A stubborn defense of Sevastopol began. Field fortifications were constructed as the fighting raged, and supplies, reinforcements, and evacuations of the wounded and civilians could only be carried out by sea, often under enemy air raids. On Nov. 4, all the Soviet forces banded together inside the city’s defensive zone. On Nov. 11, with significant superiority in troops and artillery, the enemy launched an offensive. After fierce battles and suffering heavy casualties, the Germans ceased their frontal attacks on Nov. 21 and proceeded to lay siege to the city. On Dec. 17, seven German infantry divisions and two Romanian brigades, far outnumbering the Russian forces, launched a new offensive with tank support. The attacks were rebuffed with the support of naval artillery fire, and any further incursion was foiled when Russian troops landed in Kerch and Feodosia. Moreover, by forcing the Germans to divert to Feodosia the 11th Wehrmacht Army that was besieging the city under the command of General Erich von Manstein, the Sevastopol regional defense battalions began a partial offensive and had improved their position by March 1942.\nBeginning on May 27, Sevastopol was subjected to incessant shelling and air attacks. On the morning of June 7, the enemy launched a punishing attack around the entire perimeter of the defensive zone. After a fierce battle, the Russian troops abandoned Malakhov Hill on June 30. But resistance continued on the outskirts of the devastated city. The battle went on until July 4, and even as late as July 9 in some areas. Most of the city’s defenders were killed or taken prisoner, with only a few managing to make their way to the mountains to join the partisans. The 250-day defense of Sevastopol, despite its tragic end, showed the world that Russian soldiers and sailors were capable of incredible sacrifices.\nIn the hearts and minds of the public Crimea has always been an integral part of Russia. This belief, based on truth and justice, has been unwavering. It has been something passed down from generation to generation with no regard for either time or circumstances. Even the dramatic changes experienced by Russia during the twentieth century were powerless to alter this conviction. It would have been impossible for anyone to imagine how Ukraine and Russia could be two different states. But then the Soviet Union collapsed. Events progressed so quickly that few at the time grasped the full drama of the unfolding events or their consequences. And when Crimea suddenly became part of another country, Russia felt that she had not just been robbed, but plundered. Millions of Russians went to bed in one country and woke up in another, transformed overnight into minorities within the former Soviet republics. Thus the Russian nation became one of the biggest, if not the biggest, partitioned nation in the world. But the populace was unable to stomach this egregious historical injustice. During those years, both common people as well as many public figures often raised this issue, claiming that Crimea was native Russian soil and Sevastopol was a Russian city. For 23 years Crimea has retained its Russian soul and every Crimean has spent this time breathlessly waiting for the peninsula to return home to Russia. And now it has happened – to general elation, tears of happiness, and long-awaited joy – a triumph of historical justice!\nEssay originally published at Oriental Review.", "domain": "geography"}

One-quarter of Portugal’s forested landscape (more than 812,000 hectares or 2 million acres) has been replaced by non-native eucalyptus plantations. On top of that are expansive pine plantations.\nOliver Munnion, Co-Director of Biofuelwatch, lives in Portugal’s wildfire zone. “We spent last night in a local school after some 30 villages were evacuated in our area. News reports say that a quarter of the municipality has burned. We’ve been lucky so far and still have our home, but many others have lost so much.\n“It’s time to face up to the reality that Portugal’s vast eucalyptus and pine plantations, and the corruption and profiteering that comes with them, are the main reason that the country burns, every year. Coupled with the impacts of climate change, bringing hotter temperatures and drought, our area stands little chance. And the summer has only just begun,” he added.\nJust like wildfires that devastated parts of Chile in January—the worst in their history—the fires in Portugal were the result of a reckless and poorly regulated timber industry, as well as international policies that mislabel industrial tree plantations as “forests.” \n“In the fires in both Chile and Portugal, the culprit was industry lobby for state subsidies for timber plantations,” stated Felipe Grez of OLCA in Chile. “Flammable, water-sucking eucalyptus plantations have been expanding all over the landscape thanks to these dangerous state subsidy schemes, which in Chile came about under Pinochet. Plantations reach right up to the edge of roads and towns making fire disaster unavoidable. We not only condemn this blatant disregard for life, but also industry’s future desire to use genetically engineered trees–which will make these problems even worse.” \nThe Campaign to STOP Genetically Engineered Trees  warns that a new threat is emerging from genetically engineered (GE) eucalyptus plantations. GE eucalyptus are being developed to grow faster, resist toxic herbicides and/or tolerate freezing temperatures. These traits would exacerbate the impacts of eucalyptus plantations and spread them to new regions currently too cold for eucalyptus to grow.\nGE eucalyptus were approved in Brazil in 2015 and now the US Department of Agriculture is accepting public comments on a draft Environmental Impact Statement that recommends approval of the large-scale release of GE eucalyptus plantations across the U.S. South.\n“Both of these tragedies in Chile and Portugal should sound the alarm regarding plans for genetically engineered eucalyptus plantations in the Southeast U.S.,” added Anne Petermann, Executive Director of U.S. based Global Justice Ecology Project and International Coordinator of the Campaign to STOP GE Trees. “This region already suffers from repeated droughts due to climate change. The proposed development of one million acres of flammable, invasive, water-draining GE eucalyptus plantations in this region is a clear recipe for wildfire disaster.”", "domain": "geography"}

We can’t believe that it is almost May – this year has been flying by! That’s because even when Nancy is traveling, we are still busy here at our corporate headquarters in Nashville. As most of you know, Nancy recently went to El Salvador on a missions trip with Pastor Debbie Lindell of James River Assembly and a team of 45 others. They hosted three, one-day women’s conferences and one of the coolest things to us was that two Mercy graduates were also on the trip and were able to share their stories of hope and transformation with those in attendance. Women walked for miles to attend these conferences and there was standing room only! So cool to hear stories of women giving their lives to Christ and receiving His healing and freedom! Wanted to show you some pictures from Nancy’s time in El Salvador…\nWhile Nancy was busy in El Salvador we had the awesome privilege of hosting Pastors Matt and Martha Fry of C3 Church in Raleigh, NC. Nancy and I (Katelyn) had the privilege of going to C3 Church a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it! We were so excited when Pastors Matt and Martha let us know they were going to be in Nashville and wanted to come see Mercy. So of course we asked them to share with our girls…and we are so glad we did! Martha shared her amazing testimony and really connected with our residents and staff. Pastors Matt and Martha even did some Q&A with the girls, and there were lots of questions!\nNancy flew back from El Salvador just in time to host Pastor L.H. Hardwick, founding pastor of Christ Church in Nashville, and his wife Carol. Nancy credits Pastor Hardwick for much of the development of the Nashville home. In the early 1990’s he cleared off three weeks of his calendar to personally introduce Nancy to pastors all over the Middle Tennessee area to share the vision for Mercy in Nashville. The Nashville residents recently attended Pastor Hardwick’s 80th birthday celebration, so needless to say, they were very excited to see him at Mercy just a few weeks later.\nThe very next day we had three couples and Mercy supporters from Florida in town to visit. One of the couples, Pastor Michael and Kathy Young from the Chapel at Rosemary Beach, spoke to our residents about how God sees us, hears us, and knows us! Later that afternoon our guests got to experience a Mercy graduation ceremony in the Nashville home. We had such a fun day hanging out with Pastor Michael and Kathy, Ted and Karen, and Lee and Carol!\nWhile Nancy is back out traveling, we are staying busy and getting geared up for May. There are a lot of exciting things happening, and there’s never a dull moment!!!\nKatelyn & Reid\n|Nancy on stage with graduates Amanda and Elyse|\n|Nancy with Elsie Moody (Pastor of The Open Door in El Salvador) and Debbie Lindell|\n|The whole team!|\n|Martha Fry speaking to our residents and staff|\n|Pastors Matt and Martha Fry of C3 Church|\n|Pastor Hardwick, his wife Carol, and Nancy|\n|Ted and Karen, Nancy, Kathy and Michael, Carol and Lee|\n|Katelyn, Ted, Reid, and Mercy Staff Jen|\nKatelyn & Reid", "domain": "geography"}

We will explore the magnificent landscapes of southern Chile’ Torres del Paine National Park to look for Puma, the ‘Lion of the Andes’. Afterwards, we will continue our quest by exploring the mythic island of Tierra del Fuego to reach the recently established and world’s most accessible colony of the stunning King Penguin. As a grand finale of this unique wildlife expedition, we will explore the Straits of Magellan to visit Carlos III Island and its summer visitors, the gentle and sociable Humpback Whales. This small-group journey has a maximum of 8 participants accompanied by one of our naturalist guides.\nWildlife Icons of Patagonia\nSpecial 10% off on our April 4-14, 2018 departure!\n11-day trip from Punta Arenas, Chile • Next departure: April 4-14, 2018\nFrequently praised by visitors as one of the most beautiful and majestic wild places in the Planet, Torres del Paine National Park is a remote refuge where wildlife is normally quite tame and it’s not rare to see relaxed and inquisitive guanacos, foxes and other animals at close quarters; seeing the lone hunter that dwells in the vast and barren hills, the mighty Puma, is something else. This first section of our three-prong quest has been geared to seek out and contemplate this big and elegant cat in one the wildest places throughout its entire range in the Continent. The King Penguin is the second largest species of penguin after the Emperor and certainly one of the most colourful and attractive members of the group. The second part of our journey takes us to see these magnificent seabirds in their natural habitat. Few places in the world offer good access and chances to see them in the wild like Useless Bay in Tierra del Fuego, making this, the only continental American breeding colony, a very special one indeed. The third and final part of our trip takes us to Carlos III Island, located at the heart of the recently established Francisco Coloane Marine Park in the mythic Straits of Magellan, to find some of its most charismatic and usually elusive inhabitants, Humpback Whales. We will see these imposing creatures and other marine mammals of the sub-Antarctic region at close quarters, as well as a good diversity of seabirds. Also, we will visit remote penguin colonies as well as other seabirds’ rookeries. We will be based two nights at the domes of the research facilities at Carlos III Island, the perfect location to see the Humpbacks and marvel at their social behaviour and feeding techniques.\nItinerary in Brief (11 days, 10 nights)\nDay 1 • Punta Arenas – Transfer to Torres del Paine National Park (4 nights)\nDays 2-4 • Exploring Torres del Paine NP – Puma searches\nDay 5 • Torres del Paine NP – Transfer to Punta Arenas (1 night)\nDay 6 • Ferry to Tierra del Fuego – Useless Bay for King penguins (1 night)\nDay 7 • Tierra del Fuego – Straits of Magellan – Punta Arenas (1 night)\nDay 8 • Boat trip to Carlos III Island – Afternoon looking for Humpback Whales (2 nights)\nDay 9 • Carlos III Island – Whale Sound\nDay 10 • Carlos III Island – Punta Arenas (1 night)\nDay 11 • End of the trip\n• 4-day exploration in Torres del Paine National Park searching for Puma and other wildlife such as Guanaco, Southern Huemul Deer, Andean Condors and many other birds.\n• Visit the world’s most accessible and only continental King Penguin Colony in Tierra del Fuego.\n• Explore Francisco Coloane Marine Park and enjoy watching its gentle visitors, the Humpback whales.\n• Great opportunities to spot other cetaceans and marine mammals such as Peale’s, Commerson’s and Chilean dolphins, plus sea lions, fur seals, Magellanic penguins and other seabirds.\n• Great photographic opportunities on the rich natural history of the southernmost portion of the American continent.\nDetailed Itinerary and Activities\n(*) We recommend arriving in Punta Arenas one day before the trip, in order to have an early start towards Torres del Paine National Park on Day 1.\nDay 1 • Punta Arenas, Chile – Transfer to Torres del Paine National Park\nAfter meeting your guide at your hotel or at the airport, you will be transferred in a private vehicle to Torres del Paine National Park. During our journey to the park, we will try to find guanacos, southern grey foxes, and Patagonian skunks while enjoying our first contact with southern beech (Nothofagus) forests. While visiting the valleys we will be given a geological interpretation of the origins of the dramatic backdrop of Torres del Paine, one of the finest natural spectacles in Patagonia.\nOvernight at Hotel Las Torres or similar, Torres del Paine (Lunch, Dinner) (Guide).\nDays 2-4 • Exploring Torres del Paine National Park – Puma searches\nWe have organized a busy schedule of day and night searches for pumas in the area. We will inspect the immediate surroundings of our hotel at night as well as the puma hunting grounds located in the eastern flank of the park. The area comprised by the northern coast of Sarmiento Lake, Laguna Amarga and Laguna Azul is well known by holding one of the largest concentrations of pumas in the wild. February through April is a particularly good period as the females are actively hunting to provide food to their growing cubs; at this time they are not active just by night but also during the twilight hours. To see a female puma and its large-sized cubs against this magnificent mountain backdrop and glorious skies is one of the most impressive wildlife spectacles. In company of our guide and puma tracker we will attempt seeing puma family groups at a prudent distance with the help of binoculars and spotting scopes. If we have time, we will also take the opportunity to look for other mammal species including the ubiquitous guanaco, the local Andean Deer or Huemul, Patagonian Hog-nosed Skunk and the two canine species present in the park, Chilla and Culpeo foxes.\nOvernight at Hotel Las Torres or similar, Torres del Paine (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) (Guide).\nDay 5 • Torres del Paine NP – Transfer to Punta Arenas\nDuring the morning we will continue our exploration in different areas of the park. A sensational vista from Laguna Azul, on the eastern side of the park, will be a superb grand finale to this part of our exciting journey of discovery. Later, we will be transferred to Punta Arenas.\nOvernight at Hotel Diego de Almagro or similar, Punta Arenas (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) (Guide).\nDay 6 • Ferry to Porvenir, Tierra del Fuego – Useless Bay for King penguins\nWe will start our journey with a private transfer from your hotel to the ferry docks located at the northern end of Punta Arenas. At approximately 9 am, we will begin our 2.5-hour crossing through the mythic waters of the Straits of Magellan; these world-famous seaways are very rich in terms of history of exploration. Magellan, Drake, Cavendish, Bougainville, Fitz Roy and Darwin, among several other sailors and explorers, surveyed this region, most of the times, in really harsh and dangerous conditions. You will see an interesting array of seabirds, including Black-browed Albatross, Southern Giant Petrel, Southern Fulmar, Imperial Cormorant, Dolphin Gull and South American Tern. It is very likely to see interesting marine mammals such as pods of Peale’s Dolphin and inquisitive South American Sea Lion. As soon as we land you will realize that the vegetation of this part of Tierra del Fuego is dominated by flat windswept steppes and rolling hills, with tussock grass and low shrubs. After meeting your local guide and driver, we will stop at the town of Porvenir, visiting a pioneer home, our lovely and cozy hotel, Hosteria Yendegaia; here we will have coffee or tea, snacks, and will have the opportunity to relax for a short while. Immediately we will be driving for approximately two hours along the shores of Bahia Inutil (Useless Bay), where we expect to see a great array of wildlife including Guanaco, Southern Grey Fox, the ubiquitous Upland Goose, Chilean Flamingo and a diversity of waterfowl. At sea we may see albatrosses, petrels, gulls and skuas patrolling the turbulent waters of the bay. Parque Pingüino Rey is a private nature reserve that aims to preserve the only known continental King Penguin colony. We will have ample opportunities to observe and photograph the penguins from a reasonable distance (maximum approach distance will be given by the guide and must be respected at all times during your visit).\nOvernight at Hosteria Yendegaia House or similar, Porvenir (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) (Guide).\nDay 7 • Ferry to Punta Arenas\nWe will enjoy a leisure morning while exploring the surroundings of Porvenir to photograph and learn about the particular wildlife and history of this remote corner of Patagonia. We will visit its alkaline pools where there are large aggregations of migratory birds such as sandpipers and plovers, but the goal will be to photograph Chilean Flamingos. Later we will explore the coast to see some of the many shipwrecks that have occurred in these seas over the years. After lunch we will be heading back to Punta Arenas by ferry. By taking the short ferry at Punta Delgada we will have great chances of seeing the striking Commerson’s Dolphin plus other interesting wildlife.\nOvernight at Hotel Diego de Almagro or similar, Punta Arenas (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) (Guide).\nDay 8 • Boat trip to Carlos III Island – Afternoon looking for Humpback Whale\nEarly in the morning we will board the motor yacht “Esturion” and start our navigation towards “Francisco Coloane Marine Park”, which protects the marine biodiversity of the western branch of the Straits of Magellan. This magnificent area encloses Carlos III Island, which possesses a vast and unique biological diversity due, in part, to the mixing of the two oceans (Pacific and Atlantic), productive upwelling, the strong winds, the presence of glaciers and the dismembered coastline. This park hold a summer population of humpback whales (and occasionally Sei Whale and Orca), which use these waters as feeding grounds. We will spend this night in the biological station, at very comfortable twin-bedded domes. We will have shared bathroom facilities at this location.\nOvernight at Eco-camp Carlos III, Carlos III Island (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) (Guide).\nDay 9 • Carlos III Island\nThis morning we will have another whale-watching session aboard the zodiac boats and if we are lucky, we may see the endemic and scarce Chilean Dolphin while sailing these waters. We will also visit large breeding colonies of sea lions, fur seals and Magellanic Penguin. We will have a lecture by the scientist working on long-term population studies on these whales, and we will learn about several tagging and identification techniques. We will have the whole afternoon to see these whales at close quarters and with no other visitors. This intimate experience will be enhanced by the sight of the beautiful mountains, glaciers and pristine forests all around.\nOvernight at Eco-camp Carlos III, Carlos III Island (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) (Guide).\nDay 10 • Back to Punta Arenas\nAfter enjoying the diversity of marine mammals and seabirds of this park, we will make our journey back to San Isidro Lodge. Along the route we will discover the rich seabird diversity of these seaways; we will see Black-browed Albatross, Southern Giant Petrel, Chilean Skua and cormorants as well as pods of Peale’s Dolphin and the ubiquitous South American Sea Lion. If time permits, we will have a field trip, equipped with hand glasses, to discover the lichen- and moss-rich biodiversity of the sub-Antarctic forests. During the afternoon we will be transferred back to Punta Arenas for overnight.\nOvernight at Hotel Diego de Almagro or similar, Punta Arenas (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)(Guide)\nDay 11 • End of the trip\nTransfer to the airport after breakfast.

Many thanks for all your help in arranging this trip. All the transport arrangements worked well and we were most appreciative of your prompt and helpful replies to our emails. Ana Maria and Rodrigo were both great hosts as well as having an in depth knowledge of Chilean birds. We must not forget the drivers Rodolfo and Christian – they were much more than just drivers. They certainly added to the enjoyment of our time in Chile. We would not hesitate in recommending Far South Expeditions to those wanting to see Chilean wildlife”. Geoff & Dallas B. (NZ), October 2017\n“Custom photographic tour to Patagonia. My husband and I & our friend traveled with photographer and guide Claudio, exploring and photographing Patagonia. It was a wonderful trip. Claudio and Ruben were amiable and accommodating companions and guides, even in the dark of early morning as we rose before sunrise to position ourselves for the best light. We would love to travel with them again!” – M. Tartar, USA\n“Among all my trips to South America the travel to Patagonia was undoubtedly the most exciting one. The staff is exceptional but most of all, we were impressed by the intellect and human qualities of our guide Jaime who accompanied us during our specially designed trip to Tierra del Fuego. Since that time I harbor hopes that I can make another trip to Patagonia with Far South Expeditions!” – A. Fedorchenko, Russia\n“We just finished the 8-day tour of Patagonia, and it was an amazing experience. Far South Expeditions handled everything smoothly and efficiently, we literally just showed up and they took care of the rest. The lodging provided with the tour was great for the whole trip, and our guide, Rodrigo Tapia is a true expert. He was able to spot wildlife that we could not see – including a Puma, and was great at accomodating the needs of our group. Far South Expeditions was great in handling all the details. I would definitely use them again.” – B. Funai, USA\n“Many thank’s to Far South Expeditions for my recent birding tour of Punta Arenas, especially to Cecilia Faundez and excellent birder/naturalist Sebastian Saiter for helping me find Magellanic Plover.” – B. Nixon, UK\n“Just a note of thanks to say that we enjoyed our trip to Torres del Paine on the botanical tour. We appreciated his friendly company. The accommodation and food was excellent, and we learnt a great deal about Patagonian natural history from Sebastian. The locations and walks selected for the tour were all interesting and different. We appreciated the flexibility of the schedule.” – D. & B. Keith, Australia\n“Just a quick note to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our Patagonian adventure. Sebastian was an excellent guide and found us so many things; he was a great companion and always pleasant.” – D. & D. Stannard, UK\n“We enjoyed the trip very much and have many beautiful photos of the scenery and wildlife in this region.” – D. James, UK\n“David was an excellent guide for our King Penguin Day Trip. As a whole, Far South is running a very efficient tour company.” – P. Leslie, USA\n“The highlight of our whole cruise around the Cape from Buenos Aires to Valparaiso was the half day excursion to see the incredible condors of Patagonia. The condors were most amazing. About 100 gather on the ranch at a cliff and we were privileged to see them roosting, stretching and flying en mass. This was a really authentic wildlife encounter.” – D. King, USA\n“I asked Far South Expeditions to put a trip together to Patagonia for our small group of six, four of us being serious amateur photographers. Once I contacted Far South I knew that we were in good hands. Cecilia (who answered my endless questions) and Claudio put together the perfect trip. I can not recommend Far South Expeditions highly enough. It is a first rate, professional organization with vast personal knowledge of Patagonia.” – R. Badger, USA\n“Far South Expeditions organised and booked a three-week tour with an outstanding expert guide, driver and minibus for two couples with interests in bird-watching, wildlife, history and culture. The tour was fantastic. Our guide, Rodrigo, was excellent. His English was flawless and as a Chilean Spanish speaker his help was essential. He is at the very forefront of southern South American ornithologists, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the local and world-wide avian fauna, and also of other animals, plants and natural and cultural attractions of Chile and Argentina. He is an interesting, friendly, amiable and amazing person and an outstanding photographer. The places Far South Expeditions booked for us were all good quality, with some of them being outstanding, and Rodrigo’s local knowledge meant that we saw many fascinating animals and places that we would not have known about or found for ourselves. We loved this tour with its wildlife (penguins, flamingos, guanacos, vicunas, llamas) and contrasts from the Punta Arenas area, to Ushuaia on the southern end of Tierra del Fuego, to the Andean peaks, glacial lakes and old growth southern beech forests and glaciers of El Chalten, El Calafate, Torres del Paine and finally to the starkly beautiful, high altitude, desperately dry altiplano, active volcanoes, salt lakes and peaks of the Atacama desert. Throughout, our guide and drivers were terrific: patient, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. It was an unforgettable trip and we highly recommend this tour company and its staff.” Don Gartside, Australia", "domain": "geography"}

Bask in our county's treasures with family and friends, exercise your body, and build lasting memories. Specially minted commemorative Quadricentennial geocoins are being released from Challenge geocaches in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the exploration of New York State by Henry Hudson. All 15 Challenge caches will be available this summer. Funding for the Challenge was provided by Ulster County and the Hudson River Valley Greenway.\nHistoric Cement Mines and Mining\nWith Henry Hudson's opening of what is now New York State to commercial ventures, one of the major industries that developed was that of cement manufacture. Early entrepreneurs hired laborers to mine Upper Silurian Rondout Formation dolostones and fossiliferous limestones from the earth. This rock unit is largely comprised of the shells of calcareous organisms that lived in a shallow, warm-water, ocean some 400 million years ago. This Rosendale bedrock came to be recognized as the highest quality natural cement in North America. It was known as an hydraulic cement because it hardened well under water. The cement industry was founded in 1819 in central New York, but soon shifted to the Rosendale-Kingston region in 1827, where it flourished for over 150 years — during much of that time the region was known as the \"Cement Capitol\" of the world. Natural cement production peaked in 1899 with an estimated annual production of almost ten million barrels of cement. Records of the Century House Historical Society document that the Century Cement Plant in Rosendale was the last cement works to manufacture natural cement in North America.The Rosendale region maintained its competitive edge because of its ready market transportation access via the Delaware and Hudson Canal, the Rondout Creek, and the Hudson River. The natural cement was used in many well-known landmarks, including the U.S. Capitol building, the Brooklyn Bridge, the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, the Washington Monument, and the Delaware and Hudson Canal. Production of the natural cement required a labor-intensive refining process involving firing in kilns, cracking, and grinding prior to packaging in cement powder-filled 300-pound wooden barrels.\nMiners excavated two narrow (10 to 26 foot thick) members of the Rondout Formation, faithfully following them along complexly folded and faulted bedrock layers — often deeply below the water table. Today we see the results of their efforts in mines that are nearly level, at shallow and steep angles, vertical, and even stacked one on top of another. As they removed the bedrock using sledgehammers, star drills, black powder, and much later pneumatic drills, they would essentially create large rooms. For safety, they left large pillars to support the overlying bedrock ceiling or adjacent wall rock. Thus, these mines are referred to as room-and-pillar mines.\nThe accompanying map depicts a local room-and-pillar mine with its numerous support columns.\nOnce groundwater was encountered, pumps were run around the clock to allow mining to continue. Interestingly, trained expert cave divers have penetrated to depths greater than 300 feet in a vertically-bedded Kingston cement mine — a depth far below the level of the Hudson River. Divers observed old company offices and artifacts deep underwater, standing in quiet testimony of bygone glory days.\nSince then, mines have been used for mushroom and trout farms, bomb shelters, records storage, water supply, and at the Widow Jane Mine - for special events. Today, water-filled portions of many of these mines represent vast untapped reservoirs.\nThe Widow Jane Mine\nThe Widow Jane Mine on the Snyder Estate in Rosendale, New York is a shining and safe example of the many room-and-pillar mines present throughout the Rosendale-Kingston region. It was mined along gently sloping geologic beds. The underground lake in it is fed by a combination of a nearby surface stream that sinks into its bed, groundwater, and water infiltrating through fractures in the ceiling. It is the only historic cement mine in Ulster County open to the public.\nThe Century House Historical Society Museum and Archives\nThe museum and collections of the Century House Historical Society at this cache site are dedicated to the industrial history of the Rosendale natural cement region. They provide a resource visited and used by scholars worldwide. The Snyder Estate Museum is open to the public from May to October on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm or by appointment (see http://www.centuryhouse.org/). During your visit, be sure to view the special Hudson-Fulton Exhibit and the1909 Tricentennial commemorative coin in the museum.\nThe Cache, Site Access and the Widow Jane MineAccess to the cache is through the lovely, groomed, Snyder Estate off Rt. 213 in Rosendale, New York. Proceed past the Museum House, alongside a pond, and up to the Widow Jane Mine. The cache is a 2-liter cylindrical poly bottle hidden outside the mine where access does not necessitate damaging vegetation. The cache is filled with kid-friendly items and, initially, three NYS Quadricentennial Challenge geocoins designed to travel throughout the world. This geocache was approved by The Century House Historical Society.\nThis geocache is available throughout the week from dawn to dusk. After finding the geocache, be sure to take a look inside the Widow Jane Mine. While the entry area is safe and is easily seen with natural lighting, be sure to bring a flashlight if you wish to look more closely at the mine, its pillars, and the underground lake. Please respect this private property, thus keeping it open for others. Thank you.\nShould you see Dietrich Warner or Gayle Grunwald of the Century House Historical Society be sure to thank them for making the Snyder Estate property, the Widow Jane Mine, and the nature trail available for visitation.\nAn unpaved parking area is located near the Century House Historical Society Museum at the coordinates listed below. Please do not drive any further than this parking lot. From the parking area, proceed along established mown pathways toward the cache coordinates listed. No bushwhacking is required.\nPlease Cache In and Trash Out!", "domain": "geography"}

This is especially true regarding the African continent in general and sub-Saharan Africa in particular. Interest in the indigenous response to the formal organization of the colonial settlement has only been manifest in the last few decades. In addition, French and British colonial policies and practices in West Africa, particularly with regard to town planning, have rarely been analyzed together within the same intellectual framework. This work is concerned with the perception and realization of residential segregation in two major colonial capitals in West Africa: British Lagos and French Dakar. The history and the form of residential segregation in Lagos, a chief port and an administrative and commercial centre, and in Dakar, the capital of the AOF (Afrique Occidentale Francaise) Federation, are traced from the establishment of the official colonial rule in the mid-nineteenth century to the inter-war period. The focus on residential segregation as a crucial aspect of colonial urban planning directly relates to colonial discourses, municipal politics and indigenous conceptions. Rather than a schematic and somewhat simplified model of segregation, comparative aspects are stressed here, offering a more diversified view of this phenomenon. Urban policies also served purposes other than mere separation of various ethnic groups, and a more complex definition of segregationist schemes is needed, referring to conceptual and actual nuances of spatial divisions and hierarchisation.", "domain": "geography"}

It is a scimitar-shaped estuary that joins the Bosphorus just at the point where that strait enters the Sea of Marmara, thus forming a peninsula the tip of which is \"Old Istanbul\" (ancient Byzantion and Constantinople).

It is 7.5 kilometers long and is 750 meters across at its widest. Its maximum depth, where it flows into the Bosphorus, is about 35 meters. It is today spanned by four bridges. Moving downstream, the first is the Haliç Bridge, literally Estuary Bridge. The former Galata Bridge was damaged by a fire in 1992; it was moved to the second position in pieces, re-assembled, and restored as the Eski Galata Bridge, literally Old Galata Bridge. The third one is the Atatürk (Unkapanı) Bridge. The current Galata Bridge was completed in 1994.

A lot of these photos come from photographers that aren’t from Detroit and can’t really grasp what is significant other than the stereotypical image of decline or renewal.\nBut the Detroit Institute of Arts is trying to change that with their “Detroit Revealed: Photographs (2000 – 2010)” exhibition. The exhibition contains photos from artists from Detroit, native born, and those from artists that are only passing through. The mix of people that know firsthand of the city’s past and those that are experiencing the city for the first time brings a collection of images that tell a sometimes contradicting story.\nThe images were taken over the last decade and can at times show the best of Detroit; a resilience to destruction and elimination and a willingness to fight back and to stick around. And they can show the worst of Detroit; white flight from the city, leaving behind buildings and neighborhoods and entire swathes of land slated for development but turned over to the relentlessness of nature.\nThis installation and photograph by Scott Hocking, a Detroit native, was taken inside of Fisher Body Plant #21. Inside he found a structure exposed to the elements and what was beginning to look like something reclaimed by nature. Inspired by Mayan architecture, Hocking created a ziggurat to connect modern day Detroit to ancient Central America monumental ruins.\nHocking captures the relentless spirit of nature and re-purposes the inside of this plant, abandoned for more than 30 years, into something more useful.\nThis image, taken by Corine Vermeulen, reveals a different side of Detroit. Taken near the river, just outside of Hart Plaza during the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, the image juxtaposes the vibrancy of the attendees of the festival against the somber nature of the International Underground Railroad Memorial, pointing the way to Windsor, Ontario, Canada.\nThe Detroit Institute of Art is also giving everyone a chance to Reveal Your Detroit through their Flickr group. Join the group to share your relationship to Detroit through your own photos. The Detroit Revealed exhibit will be open through Sunday, April 29th. And through the month of March, if you go over to the DIA’s Facebook Page and give them a like, you can get free admission for four.", "domain": "geography"}

So far this summer, I have explored three National Parks. And I am so grateful!!!\nAt each trail head, I took a breath and wondered – what will nature teach me. Each experience making my way up and over mountains, scrambling over rocks and streams, walking through trees and wildlife habitats, illuminated nature’s power to cultivate courage, compassion and connection.\nIn Acadia National Park, where my family and I have camped for the past 11 years, I feel completely at home. Each year as our children (now 11 and 8.5) have gotten older, my husband and I take longer and more difficult hikes. This summer I felt compelled to get down and dirty with nature. We took 4-6 hour hikes where we had to climb over boulders, pull ourselves up or slide down to get to a level terrain. To embark on each excursion took a lot of courage (and preparation). Kids and terrain are unpredictable. Yet, I knew we had to be fearless in order to have an intimate and transformational experience with nature. Watching my children embrace the terrain courageously, especially during moments of potential danger, and take the lead at different times, left me in awe of them. Now when they become fearful, I can remind them of the courage they had to hike the mountains in Acadia.\nI felt most courageous when I hiked the Beehive in Acadia (without the children, at least this time around). There was a warning sign, which I had never seen in Acadia. Letting nature have my back, I pushed through my anxiety and relied on my experience as a hiker. While I am not a rock climber, this hike is probably the closest I’ll ever get. Pulling myself up using irons rungs and walking on the edge of cliffs to get to the top and view the beauty of the Atlantic was worth every bead of sweat and every palpitation of my heart.\nThis hike awakened my courage!\nAn even more beautiful example of courage was watching my 69 year old mother (who is not a hiker!), complete a trail in Shenandoah National Park and the Great Smoky Mountains. In spite of the humidity and bugs, she put on her sneakers and persevered to complete each trail. It takes courage to push yourself outside your comfort zone. This is how we grow.\nThis is the courage that nature cultivates. Explore National Parks.\nCompassion is to be aware of suffering, feel empathy and be willing to act to relieve that suffering. In Acadia, every time I felt that the hike we chose was too long, the beautiful sound of song birds filled the air. This happened at least three times. It was as if no other sound existed (the woods can be very quiet) and the birds were speaking directly to me. “You can do this. Keep going.” The melodic sound soothed my suffering. I felt held and guided by nature’s love.\nSuch a love, supported both my children and I when they were resistant to hiking. At one time or another, one of my kids was unhappy and complaining at the beginning of a hike. Knowing that I could not flee from the situation and that I needed this child to walk over challenging terrain, I flexed my compassion muscle. I practiced just being present with my child who was experiencing an unpleasant time and allowed the love of nature to soften both of our hearts. This was not always easy as I had to give up control of how I wanted to “experience” this hike. The embrace of nature opened my heart so that I could be compassionate toward my child. Teaching my children how to embrace their connection to nature as a way to soothe their suffering was a deep insight we all shared. Eventually, each child let go of his or her resistance and embraced the hike, which always ended with a high-five and a smile.\nI am filled with deep gratitude for these experiences. Also, I have more of an appreciation for the suffering nature experiences all the time. The history of these parks reveal that people a century ago knew the power in the beauty of these parks and the necessity to protect it.\nThey are sanctuaries that need our compassion. Support National Parks.\nHiking with others can be an intense experience. With courage and compassion comes connection. One reason people hike is to connect with the earth and its magnificence. There is undoubtedly an existential element to exploring nature’s home. Another reason is to connect with ourselves and possibly our hiking partners.\nOne of the reasons I adore camping and hiking in Acadia is because it has become a family tradition. We have this experience that we will all carry with us and that forever joins us together. As my children develop lives a part from me, we will always have Acadia. My 11 year old asked if she could keep camping with us when she is older. This warmed my heart. When her and I hiked alone in Shenandoah National Park, she talked about us coming back together as a bonding experience. She felt nature’s power to connect us.\nHiking requires a degree of cooperation and collaboration whether it be with nature or with others. The challenge to complete each hike required us to work together. Sometimes you have to wait when other’s are tired. You have to be supportive when other’s are struggling. You have to pause and take in the beauty that surrounds you. Nature does not always give you a choice! When hiking in Shenandoah, a deer walked right toward us without hesitation.\nWe are without a doubt connected to the earth and to each other. Exploring these National Parks has reminded me of our interdependence. We are never alone and thus our actions have a ripple effect that we often may not see. If we listen, nature calls to us, reminding us that we are courageous, that it is within us to reach out and connect with a compassionate heart.\nMay we open ourselves to the beauty of life\nand push ourselves outside our comfort zones\nso together we can grow our voice.", "domain": "geography"}

Nowadays, the retired machinist devotes much of his spare time to helping Mission Tradition raise much-needed funds for its apostolates in Nigeria, Mexico, and Colombia.\nWebb’s latest effort was a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago—the Way of St. James—in Spain. He began his trek on October 3 and finished on November 4, days ahead of his self-imposed deadline of November 10. Along the way, Webb posted updates to his Facebook page and encouraged his friends and supporters to donate to Mission Tradition in honor of his pilgrimage.\nWebb raised more than $2,000 and gave 100 percent of the proceeds to Mission Tradition because he covered his own expenses. He returned from his second pilgrimage full of gratitude.\n“I’m thankful to everyone who supported this fundraiser and kept me in their prayers,” he remarked. “Please remember that even though my days on the trail were long, our Mission Tradition priests work even harder each day to meet the needs of the world’s poorest people. They rely on your support to make their apostolates a success.”\nBeautiful Scenery Makes a Long Trek Easier\nWebb’s pilgrimage began with a 17-hour bus trip that took him from his home in southwestern Spain to the town of Irún in the northeast. There, near the French border, the Camino del Norté begins.\nCamino del Norté is one of the longest and most rigorous routes on the Way of St. James. On a damp, overcast morning, Web set off at the Santiago Bridge over the Bidasoa River. That first day, he walked about 18 kilometers (11 miles) before stopping at an enchanting albergue in Pasai Donibane. An albergue is a hostel designed to accommodate pilgrims for a nominal fee. These no-frills lodges are a godsend to the many pilgrims who seek to complete their journeys on a budget. More well-heeled pilgrims sometimes stay at hotels in the towns they visit.\nWebb’s first stop put him among breathtaking mountains near a river. But throughout his journey, it was the agriculture he enjoyed seeing most. Webb grew up in Michigan and helped on his grandparents’ farm. He later worked on a neighbor’s farm that had the second-most heads of cattle in Michigan at the time. Walking past many small family farms brought back pleasant memories for Webb.\n“I saw many different kinds of crops, including winter squash that was two or three times bigger than anything I ever saw in Michigan,” he remarked. “There’s a tremendous amount of rain in northern Spain and it’s really warm in the summer, which clearly helps these crops grow.”\nOn his stops, Webb visited northern Spain’s beautiful churches whenever he could, enjoying the traditional architecture and statuary. For example, the Santiago Cathedral in Bilbao featured Gothic architecture and many masterpiece paintings. Although the cathedral was only open for Mass, Webb arrived just as the midday Mass was concluding and the priest allowed him to look around for a few minutes.\nWebb also enjoyed the smaller church of San Salvador in Getaria, which featured one of the area’s oldest sanctuaries dating back to the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries. This church was built on the remains of at least two earlier churches dating back to 1397.\n“In many of these churches and cathedrals, the bishops and cardinals are buried in crypts in the walls,”Webb noted. “When you stop to pray there, you really feel the communion of saints! It’s almost overwhelming to feel that connection to the past.”\nBut Webb’s Camino schedule left little time for sightseeing. Although some pilgrims set aside several months to finish their journeys, Webb had a family to get back to. Church visits tended to be 30 minutes or less unless Webb was attending Sunday Mass. Webb’s daily mileage ranged from 12 to 35, but he typically aimed for 18 to 20 miles per day.\nHeavy Rain and Scarce Lodging Test Pilgrims’ Mettle\nCamino del Norté presented Webb with many challenges. Because he made his pilgrimage near the end of the season, he knew he would run into rain. Although his first two weeks brought warm, sunny weather, he faced steady rainfall over the last two weeks. By the time October ended, northern Spain had experienced twice its normal rainfall for the month. Through the wetness—and even a fierce hailstorm—Webb relied on his rain jacket and Marine Corps poncho.\nWebb also had difficulty finding lodging on many nights. During the first two weeks of the journey, the trail was full of tourists who often snapped up the available beds at the albergues. And because it was near the end of the pilgrimage season, some albergues had unexpectedly closed early. These situations left Webb little option but to hike from town to town and trust in Divine Providence.\nBut as Webb walked on, the crowd on the trail thinned out to include only the most dedicated pilgrims. On November 1, the Feast of All Saints, he took a “break” day in which he walked just seven kilometers (4.3 miles) on level terrain and then explored the charming city of Mondoñedo. There, he visited the Cathedral of Santa Maria—a stunning building erected between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries—and enjoyed a hearty dinner of chiperonies (squid) accompanied by a glass of Albariño wine.\nPilgrims Inspire Each Other to Persevere\nJust as he had done on his first Camino in 2022, Webb met many interesting and inspiring Catholics on the trail. One walking companion was a 29-year-old professional soccer player who was taking time for reflection between contracts. Another was a Lithuanian graphic designer who lives all over the world because she works entirely online. A pair of retired accountants from the United Kingdom provided Webb with constant comic relief.\nBut Webb’s most meaningful connection was with “Sandra,” a German doctor of pharmacy. She, too, was completing her second Camino—but with a special challenge: type 1 diabetes. Throughout the journey, she gave herself at least 10 insulin injections per day and sometimes stopped to consume sugar to keep her blood glucose levels in balance.\n“Sometimes Caminos are about facing one’s own difficulties,” Webb reflected. “Other times they teach us to admire the courage we see in others, showing us that our troubles may be smaller than we think. I was incredibly proud to have shared some days on the Camino with Sandra and am delighted to call this inspiring woman a new friend!”\nSandra tracked her blood glucose levels with an app that clearly displayed her “peaks” and “valleys.” At one point on the trail, Webb happened to see the graph. Thinking it was a trail app, he said, “Hey, I thought we were finished with the mountains. Why is your app showing another incline?” He was relieved when Sandra reassured him that the graph simply represented a spike in her blood glucose level.\nEvery Mile Is an Offering to God\nMany pilgrims envision fitting in hours of prayer on the Camino. For Webb, that proved more difficult this year than last year because the Camino del Norté was busier than the Via de la Plata. But as the crowd thinned out, the opportunities for quiet reflection became more common. And whenever Webb stopped in a town with an open church, he fit in a Rosary before returning to the trail.\nAs the weeks of walking wore on, Webb found the trail changing him. The soreness of Week 1 gave way to the fatigue of Week 2. But by Week 3, Webb remarked, “The pilgrimage becomes who you are. You wake up in the morning and you’re not really thinking about how you’re doing—you’re just focused on today’s plan and backup plan. There’s nothing you can do about yesterday. There’s nothing you can do about what might be going on back home. Your life becomes simple and you live in the moment.”\nWebb advises other potential pilgrims to be realistic about what a Camino journey can do for them.\n“Don’t go to the Camino looking for that one answer to the biggest problem in your life—and certainly don’t go looking for romance! The Camino has a way of providing you with what you need, which may not be what you want. There’s almost always a place to stay, even if it wasn’t your first choice. You come to realize how little you really need to get by.”\nAs he walked, Webb’s thought returned constantly to the work our Mission Tradition priests are doing to bring the light of Christ to the world’s neediest people. He is grateful for your support and is continuing his fundraiser for anyone who may be inspired to send a gift to Mission Tradition.", "domain": "geography"}

Simon picks out a hat, a flute, a fan, and other articles, and Adele receives a camera just like Uncle Sidney's. Then they're off to explore!\nIn handwritten postcards home, Adele describes the sights they see - and, of course, the items Simon manages to lose. He drops his scarf on a silk farm near Shanghai, and at the Great Wall his hat blows right off his head. By the end of the trip, Simon has misplaced all of his belongings!\nBut when Adele develops her photographs, they discover that they can find each of Simon's lost items in the background of the pictures. Can you?\nAward-winning author/illustrator Barbara McClintock's meticulous research and intricate pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations bring to life the sites that Adele and Simon visit, broom bustling old Beijing to rural rice paddies. Filled with facts and seek-and-find pictures, this book leads readers on a brilliant historical tour of China a century ago.\nThis addition to the children's saga finds Adele and Simon touring China with their uncle. Told through postcards written by Adele, this adventure is a true delight. With stops in Hong Kong, Tongli, and Shanghai, this is a beautifully blended masterpiece of art and history. As with the other books in the series, Simon loses items along the way, prompting a fun search-and-find aspect that readers will love. The endnotes contain blurbs about each location, including significant historical information.\n“The intricate, vintage-style illustrations and interesting historical facts will be sure to please a wide audience. Young armchair travelers will want to pore over this one.”— SLJ\n“Detailed renderings, done in McClintock's trademark, vibrant pen-and-ink-and-watercolor style, of a bustling marketplace in Peking, a complex of monasteries in the Wudang Mountains, and the sprawling carved hillsides in southern China. With the children's route outlined in red, the opening period map of China provides great perspective on how vast and varied this country was and still is. Since this is a historical view of China, many of the Chinese men wear queues, which can lead to further conversations with young readers.” —Kirkus\n“Adèle and Simon hit the road again! They previously explored America and Paris, but they are now headed to China to visit their photographer uncle, Sidney. This is the China of more than a century ago, allowing today’s children a trip of their own.\nFirst stop is Hong Kong, where Sidney takes the two youngsters on a shopping spree. Simon gets a hat, a jacket, a knapsack, a flute and many other items while Adèle opts for one large gift: a camera so she can record her journey just like her uncle. Readers familiar with this series knows what is to come: Adèle will write postcards home to “Dear Mama” and Simon will lose an object at each stop. At the Shanghai silk farm, he loses the yellow scarf. Careful readers will pore over each detailed, colorful pen-and-ink illustration to find the missing object. Older eyes will undoubtedly have to search longer and harder than young eyes, but no matter the age of the searcher, it’s great fun to finally locate the missing item. (This time the scarf is in the mouth of a dog.) On each page, the search is made more challenging by the artist’s color choices; the missing yellow scarf is exactly the color that most of the people are wearing in this spread. Searching for the red abacus on the following scene means discerning it from the many sticks of candied apples that are the same red. Thankfully, McClintock provides a dandy picture of the items in Adèle’s early letter to Mama, and readers can flip back and forth to help remember what the objects look like. When Adèle develops her photos after the trip, she sees a record of each missing item.\nMcClintock also includes tiny thumbprint pictures with fascinating factual information of each spread in the backmatter, further adding to the fun for older readers and adults. Many children learn Chinese at school these days, and it’s easy to see teachers using this picture book in class, even with much older students. The historical information, maps and thumbnail guide to this enormous country will certainly fascinate any child with an interest in China. While comparisons to Where’s Waldo? are inevitable, Adelé and Simon’s journeys are much more interesting, encouraging readers of all ages time to slow down and read the detailed pictures. Repeated visits will reveal more and more details—eye candy at its very best.”— BookPage\n“A book for VERY young eyes. I'm beginning to wonder if Ms. McClintock paints with the aid of electronic microscopes. Someday she's going to paint a book on the head of a single grain of rice. I would read that rice.” —Elizabeth Bird\n(Ages 4 - 10)", "domain": "geography"}

The highly revered chilli crab has even earned a spot on CNNGo’s World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods list. Time and again, chilli crab has become a must-try experience for anyone visiting the country of Singapore. Even for the most discerning traveler, chilli crab can satisfy any craving for seafood or spice – its tomato-chilli sauce hits all the right notes of spice, sweetness and tang.\nLike many dishes, each restaurant has its own version of chilli crab. Some have a more distinct sambal flavor, some are more acidic – but two factors are constant: visible egg white ribbons in an abundance of sauce. Of course, every chilli crab experience is incomplete without the presence of fluffy fried mantou buns, the perfect foil to the tangy spiciness of the chilli crab.\nAlthough the quest for the best chilli crab in Singapore remains a hotly contested topic, Evolve Daily presents its top picks for the 5 Best Chilli Crab Restaurants In Singapore:\n1) Jumbo Seafood\nOne of the most popular chilli crab restaurants, Jumbo Seafood has 5 outlets all over the island. Don’t be surprised at the size of your crab – Jumbo truly lives up to its name, serving the biggest, most tender chilli crabs in town.

Skip the crowds and arrive way before dinnertime to secure a table (they don’t take reservations). Although their Claypot Crab Bee Hoon Soup and Butter Crab is more well known, their sweet version of chilli crab definitely hits the spot as well.\n211 Toa Payoh Lorong 8, Singapore, 310211\nNot really the dressing up type? Head on over to Mastercrab, a chain of neighborhood cze char (cooked to order restaurant) that serves up some of the best chilli crab at a decent price point. Feeling adventurous?

By staying informed and proactive, you can protect your family, property, and pets from the hazards posed by fire ants.\nOur service area encompasses Houston, Pearland, Friendswood, League City, Seabrook, Missouri City, Manvel, Sugarland, Alvin, Angleton, Lake Jackson, Clute, Richwood, Freeport, West Columbia, and many other cities in Brazoria, Ft. Bend, Harris, and Galveston counties.\nJoin us as we delve into the world of Texas fire ants and arm yourself with the knowledge and insights needed to manage these unwelcome intruders effectively. Our expert team at Killum Pest Control, Inc. is here to help safeguard your property and well-being from these stinging pests through our comprehensive pest control solutions and industry expertise.\nThe Impact of Texas Fire Ants\nThe red imported fire ant, a non-native species from South America, was accidentally introduced to the United States in the 1930s. Adaptable and aggressive, these ants have since established a solid presence throughout the southern states, including Texas, where they have become a significant concern for property owners.\n1. Agriculture and Wildlife: Fire ants can damage crops, harm livestock, and threaten native wildlife populations. Their extensive tunneling can lead to soil erosion and weakened root systems, posing a hazard to both residential’s and commercial properties.\n2. Property Damage: Mounds built by fire ants can obstruct or damage equipment and machinery, resulting in costly repairs and downtime for businesses and homeowners.\n1. Invasive Ant Stings: Fire ants are notoriously aggressive and will sting humans and animals if their nests are disturbed. Their venom induces a burning sensation and can cause pain, itching, and potentially severe allergic reactions.\n2. Children and Pets: Young children and pets are most vulnerable to fire ant stings as they may unknowingly disturb their nests while playing.\nFire Ant Identification: Know Your Foe\nFire ant workers vary in size (1/8 to 1/4 inch) and are reddish-brown. Their distinctive mounds can be recognized by their dome shape without a central opening. Mounds are typically found in sunny, open spaces and can measure up to 18 inches in diameter and 8 inches in height.\nEffective Fire Ant Control Techniques\nManaging fire ant populations on your property requires a proactive approach, employing both prevention tactics and targeted treatments to minimize their impact.\n1. Regular Inspection: Routinely check for fire ant mounds on your property, particularly after rainfall, as these pests often rebuild their nests after being disturbed by water.\n2. Eliminate Food Sources: Fire ants primarily feed on proteins and sugars. Clean up spills, pet food, and waste to deprive them of potential food sources on your property.\n3. Observe Safety Precautions: Wear protective clothing, such as closed-toed shoes, long pants, and gloves, when working in your yard. Educate children about the risks of fire ant stings and how to avoid them.\n1. Baiting: Fire ant bait, which combines an attractive food source with a slow-acting insecticide, is a popular method for controlling infestations. Forage ants carry the bait back to their colony, where it is consumed by other ants, including the queen, leading to the eventual demise of the colony.\n2. Mound Treatment: Drenching fire ant mounds with an approved liquid insecticide can provide targeted control. This method is best suited for small-scale infestations or when immediate action is required.\n3. Professional Help: Enlist the assistance of a professional pest control company, like Killum Pest Control, Inc., to assess your property’s unique fire ant problem and develop an effective control plan.\nThe Importance of Professional Pest Control Services\nAttempting to handle fire ant infestations on your own can lead to incomplete control and ongoing challenges. Partnering with a professional pest control service, like Killum Pest Control, Inc., ensures access to the most effective products and methods tailored to your property’s specific needs. Our expert team will work with you to develop a comprehensive fire ant management plan that includes ongoing monitoring and preventative measures, protecting your property from potential fire ant threats.\nUnderstanding the unique challenges of Texas fire ants and proactively implementing prevention and control measures are key to maintaining a safe and comfortable living environment for your family, pets, and property.

Let’s break down these symbols:\n- Index Contour: These are the bold lines on a map, making it easier to read elevation changes. They represent a specific elevation level, helping you visualize the landscape’s shape—crucial for land navigation as it helps you understand the terrain’s ups and downs.\n- Vertical Control Station: This symbol marks a surveyed location where the exact elevation is known. It’s a fixed point used for reference, ensuring accuracy in land navigation.\n- Hard-Surface, Heavy-Duty Road: These roads are depicted with thicker lines, indicating major roads that can handle heavy traffic. Knowing these can help you find your way back to civilization or cross through developed areas.\n- Railroad, Single Track: A line with short dashes across it represents a single-track railroad. Recognizing this can prevent unexpected encounters with trains during your land navigation adventures.\n- Power Transmission Line: Shown as small pylons in a line, these symbols indicate where high-voltage power lines cross the land. It’s helpful for understanding human impacts on the area and navigating around them.\n- Building: A small square or rectangle marks a building. Buildings can be landmarks or shelters, important for orienteering and emergency planning in land navigation.\n- Checked Spot Elevation: This symbol, a dot with a number, shows the exact elevation of a spot. It’s a key reference for understanding terrain height and slope in land navigation.\n- Marsh: A marsh is depicted with a cluster of short, wavy lines, symbolizing wet, soggy land. Avoiding or navigating through marshes is a crucial skill in wilderness exploration.\n- Map Scale: The map scale is a bar or line that shows the ratio of a distance on the map to the actual distance on the ground. It’s fundamental for measuring distances and planning routes in land navigation.\n- Intermittent Stream: This stream appears as a dashed line, indicating water flow that isn’t constant year-round. For land navigation, knowing where water may or may not be can influence your route.\n- Depression: Depicted by hachures (short lines) on the inside of a contour line, a depression is a low area surrounded by higher ground. Recognizing these helps in assessing terrain features during land navigation.\n- Ridge: A ridge is shown by contour lines forming a narrow elongation. It represents higher ground, often a critical landmark for orientation in land navigation.\n- Trail: Trails are marked by dashed lines, guiding through natural areas. Trails can be essential paths or routes in land navigation, leading you through unknown terrain.\n- Stream: A blue line that flows naturally, indicating continuous water movement. Streams are important for land navigation, providing water sources and natural path markers.\n- Hard-Surface, Medium-Duty Road: These roads are depicted slightly thinner than heavy-duty roads, indicating less traffic. They’re still significant for land navigation, providing routes through the area.\n- Bridge: A bridge symbol shows where a road or trail crosses over water or a gap. Bridges are crucial in land navigation for crossing obstacles safely.\n- Cemetery: A small rectangle with a cross, marking a burial ground. Cemeteries can serve as fixed points for orienteering and navigation.\n- Campsite: A symbol of a tent indicates a designated camping area, an important feature for planning overnight adventures in land navigation.\n- Water Well or Spring: A circle with a dot or a spring symbol indicates fresh water, vital for survival and route planning in remote areas.\n- Unimproved Dirt Road: Shown with dashed lines, these roads are less maintained, often found in natural areas.

Be able to tell the contour interval for your map and be able to show the difference between a steep and a gentle slope.\nLand Navigation Core Requirement b Helps and Answers\nContour lines are like the storybook of the land’s shape, written on a map. In land navigation, understanding these lines is like learning the language of the earth. They are the thin, often brown, lines that loop and curve across a topographical map. Each contour line connects points of equal elevation above sea level, essentially drawing a picture of the terrain’s highs and lows. This makes them indispensable for anyone navigating through the wilderness.\nThe contour interval is the vertical distance between two adjacent contour lines. It tells you how steep or gentle a slope is. If you’re looking at a map and see the contour lines are close together, think of them as telling you, “This hill is steep!” The closer the lines, the steeper the slope. On the flip side, when contour lines are spaced far apart, they’re saying, “This slope is gentle, no worries!” This spacing gives you clues about the terrain you’ll be crossing, helping in planning your path during land navigation activities.\nFor example, if your map has a contour interval of 20 feet, each contour line is 20 feet higher or lower in elevation than the one next to it. On a steep slope, you might only have to walk a short distance to go up or down 20 feet, so the contour lines are close together. But on a gentle slope, you’d walk further to change the same amount of elevation, so the lines are spread out.\nBy mastering the reading of contour lines and understanding the contour interval, you become much more equipped in land navigation. You’ll be able to look at a map and visualize the terrain, preparing yourself for the ups and downs on your journey. Whether planning a route that avoids steep climbs or finding the easiest path to your destination, these skills are essential for everyone venturing into the great outdoors.\nLand Navigation Core Requirement c: Navigate\nUsing a map and compass, navigate an orienteering course that has at least six legs covering at least 2.5 miles.\nLand Navigation Core Requirement c Helps and Answers\nTackling an orienteering course with at least six legs covering a distance of at least 2.5 miles can be a challenge.

Its path will guide you through the western portion of the Uinta Mountains, one of the few ranges in North America that runs east to west as opposed to the more common orientation of north to south. The route winds its way from farmland to forested valleys and higher to pristine lakes overflowing with fish. The byway will take you by the headwaters of the Provo, Weber, Duchesne, and Bear rivers. The fact that you can escape the crowds of the greater metro area of Salt Lake City and be in the Uinta Mountains in less than two hours is one of its greatest draws. At the end of the day, you can travel back to Salt Lake City and enjoy restaurants, live entertainment, shopping, a walk in the arts district and much more.\nWhat You’ll Remember\nEntering from the north, coming south from Evanston on Highway 150, you will see the snowy ridgeline of the Uinta’s high peaks rising above the lush farmland of the Bear River Basin. A stop at the Bear River Guard Station (ranger station) will give you a look back in time. An old historic tie hack cabin is on display here. The men who cut railroad ties from the nearby forests from the 1860’s to 1920’s used many tie hack cabins like this one. The ties were then floated down the rivers to the transcontinental railroad. The cabin has been restored and has photos from the era on display.\nAbout fifteen miles south of the Bear River Guard Station, nestled below soaring alpine peaks is the highway’s namesake, Mirror Lake. This gorgeous mountain lake sits within a thick forest of lodgepole pines and is framed by Bald Mountain, Mt. Agassiz, and Hayden Peak. Taking a walk around the lake along the well-maintained trail is relaxing and easy, and offers plenty of opportunities for fishing.\nA short drive up and west from Mirror Lake will bring you to the stunning vistas of Bald Mountain Pass. From here you can see multiple lakes and peaks. It’s also near the Bald Mountain Trail. If you are interested in standing on one of the highest peaks in the western Uintas consider making the journey upward. A few miles below the pass, toward Kamas, you will find the Provo River Falls. Here cold mountain water cascades down the tiered rock spillway. This is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic or find some inspiration.\nWho’s Going to Love It\nThe Mirror Lake Scenic Byway is perfect for anyone looking to get away from the big city. Thick forests, glacially carved valleys, mountain lakes, and towering alpine summits are all part of the journey. All you need to travel this magnificent stretch of road is a car, road map, a good lunch and maybe a few friends.\nDirections and Fees\nThe Mirror Lake Highway falls within a National Forest Fee Area. It is free to drive the byway, but if you stop to use any of the recreation areas you are required to pay the park fee. You may purchase multi-day passes at numerous locations along the Mirror Lake Highway.\nFrom Kamas take Center Street, Highway 150, east from Main Street. From Evanston, head south on Highway 150.\nGPS Coordinates for Mirror Lake:\n(40.7046 N, 110.8882 W)", "domain": "geography"}

Countries such as Mongolia and Kazakhstan lead the rankings in terms of forecast CAGR for 2017–21, both in nominal and real terms. However GlobalData also forecasts that inflation will continue to erode a large portion of frontier markets’ fortunes.\nGlobalData Wealth Management analyst Silvana Amparbeng commented: “This is just one of the reasons why wealth managers should be careful when considering expanding in these markets.”\n“Despite being the fastest-growing they are still small in terms of aggregate assets. Moreover, stark wealth distribution inequalities and other local economic factors reduce wealth managers’ opportunity further.”\nOn the other hand, Asia Pacific still hosts most of the 2016 success stories. Amparbeng continued: “China is second only to the US in the global wealth market rankings and is forecast to maintain this position up to 2021. Meanwhile India is expected to surpass France by 2021, reaching eighth position.”\nDespite being small in size, the populations of Singapore and Hong Kong remain affluent and enjoy an even distribution of wealth. Most individuals in these two markets are richer than in other developed economies. By 2021 the average Hong Kong citizen will hold more assets than an individual in Switzerland.\nNonetheless, Asia Pacific is known to be a competitive market. According to GlobalData’s 2016 and 2017 Global Wealth Managers Surveys, most clients in this region already work with two or more wealth managers.\nAmparbeng added: “Providers planning to expand their assets under management in the region will have to come up with strong and innovative client acquisition strategies.\"", "domain": "geography"}

Five days after we collected them from Heathrow we were off to Copenhagen for a kind of twin mini city break. We stayed in an Air B & B apartment for a few days, then took an overnight ferry cruise to Oslo for another two nights, before a final night in Copenhagen in a nice apartment a couple of blocks away from the red light district. Nothing but the best!\nIn fairness, the district also had some smart design shops and the best breakfast deal in Copenhagen – fresh-baked bread and cheese, Danish pastry, freshly squeezed orange juice and a cappucino for £6. Cheap anywhere, but astonishing there.\nYes, it’s expensive. We had a couple of meals out, on the ferry, in Oslo, and in Copenhagen, and the prices don’t bear thinking about. Apart from that, we cooked at home a couple of times and made use of what seems to be the national food – kebab shops. Some stretches of road were a more or less continuous line of them, all more or less identical in their fare – shawarma in pita bread, burgers, fries, pizza, coke and the occasional fried chicken. We did manage to find an Indian-run place where we had fish pakoras, which were quite good.\nBrunches and lunches were the best, though, with beautiful breads filled with salmon or tuna mousse and lots of salad.\nHighlights for me were the botanical gardens in both Copenhagen and Oslo, with palm houses and landscaped rock gardens and lakes. The Viking boat museum in Oslo, and thr surrounding area, were well worth a visit – and we got senior citizens entry rates! The Edvard Munch museum in Oslo was in the middle of setting up a new exhibition so – bad news – just a few paintings on show and – good news – it was free.\nEach city also has a pretty new, modernist-designed Opera House. Of the two, I much preferred Oslo. Copenhagen, though, is a very noticably green city, with lots of parks dotted around the centre.\nApart from that, as we generally do, we just enjoyed wandering the streets and getting a feel for the place. What really stands out in Copenhagen is the sheer volume of cycle traffic, all speeding down special tracks on every main road. Bike-friendly in the extreme. We rented bikes ourselves on the last day, and made several faux pas in our obedience to the cycle traffic rules. Not as easy as it looks.\nCopenhagen = Little Mermaid and Tivoli Gardens to most people. Well, the Little Mermaid is very underwhelming (its main feature is the hordes of tourists having their photo taken in front of it), but the Tivoli looked suitable grand from the outside (you had to pay to walk around, so maybe next time).\nGood company with the Okies, good sights, and a lovely lunch in Oslo with a couple we met in Mussoorie about six years ago and kept in touch with on Facebook. That’s the way we like to do it.", "domain": "geography"}

From the bustling coffee shops of Italy to the traditional coffee ceremonies in Ethiopia, each country has its own unique coffee culture that reflects its history, traditions, and social customs. Join us on a journey as we explore the vibrant coffee traditions from different corners of the globe, revealing the diverse ways in which coffee has shaped societies and brought people together.\nItaly: The Birthplace of Espresso\nIn Italy, coffee is a way of life. The birthplace of espresso, Italy boasts a rich coffee culture deeply rooted in tradition. Italian coffeehouses, or “cafés,” are social hubs where locals gather to enjoy their daily dose of caffeine and engage in lively conversations. The art of making espresso is a revered skill, with baristas meticulously preparing shots of intense, concentrated coffee. Whether sipped quickly at the bar or savored slowly at a table, coffee in Italy is a cherished ritual that embodies the country’s passion for quality and simplicity.\nEthiopia: The Birthplace of Coffee\nEthiopia holds a special place in coffee history, as it is widely regarded as the birthplace of the beverage. Coffee ceremonies are an integral part of Ethiopian culture, symbolizing hospitality and friendship. In these elaborate rituals, green coffee beans are roasted, ground, and brewed in a traditional clay pot called a “jebena.” The aromatic coffee is served in small cups, with participants engaging in heartfelt conversations and bonding over the shared experience. Ethiopia’s coffee culture celebrates the deep connection between people, nature, and the centuries-old tradition of coffee cultivation.\nTurkey: A Delightful Blend of History and Tradition\nTurkish coffee is a time-honored tradition that intertwines history, tradition, and social etiquette. The preparation of Turkish coffee is an art form, with finely ground coffee and water brewed in a special pot called a “cezve.” The coffee is often served with a side of Turkish delight, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. Turkish coffeehouses, known as “kahvehane,” have been gathering places for centuries, fostering intellectual discussions, storytelling, and even fortune-telling from the coffee grounds. This ancient tradition is a symbol of Turkish hospitality and a testament to the enduring legacy of coffee in the region.\nColombia: The Land of Coffee Excellence\nColombia’s coffee culture is synonymous with excellence and dedication to quality. The country’s lush coffee plantations produce some of the world’s finest Arabica beans. Coffee production is deeply ingrained in Colombian society, with coffee farms playing a vital role in the country’s economy. Coffee tours offer visitors an opportunity to witness the entire coffee-making process, from the meticulously hand-picked beans to the cupping sessions that highlight the distinctive flavors and aromas. Colombian coffee culture showcases the passion and pride of the local coffee farmers, who have dedicated their lives to producing exceptional coffee.\nCoffee culture is a captivating tapestry that weaves together history, traditions, and social connections from around the world. From the espresso-fueled streets of Italy to the ancient coffee ceremonies of Ethiopia, each country’s coffee traditions offer a glimpse into its unique heritage and values. Exploring global coffee cultures not only introduces us to diverse brewing methods and flavor profiles but also highlights the universal love and appreciation for this beloved beverage. So, grab a cup of your favorite brew and embark on a journey through the enchanting world of coffee.", "domain": "geography"}

Visitors to the area will find an eclectic mix of fine architecture, maritime history, museums, galleries, parks, and palaces. The area’s maritime sector also boasts the prestige of having been added to the list of World Heritage sites.\nLocated on a hill in Greenwich Park, Greenwich Royal Observatory is perhaps the town’s most significant historic building. Commissioned in 1675 by King Charles II, it was intended as a place for the Astronomer Royal to study the skies in order to perfect the art of navigation. Flamsteed House, which comprised the original part of the observatory, was designed by the famous Christopher Wren and was Britain’s first ever purpose-built scientific research facility.\nGreenwich Park is deserving of a mention in its own right. As one of the Royal Parks of London and also one of southeast London’s largest single green spaces, it is a popular place for residents and visitors to head for a spot of relaxation or a pleasant afternoon walk. Lying just north of the park is the National Maritime Museum, which is the UK’s leading maritime museum and reputedly one of the world’s most significant maritime museums. The facility is home to an extensive collection of displays and exhibits relating to the long and fascinating naval heritage of Great Britain.

The timing and days of week allow for great flexibility for a weekend break or for a week long business trip.\nAndrew Murphy, Shannon Airport Managing Director, said it is an exciting time for the airport. “2018 was our best year in over a decade at Shannon and the launch of these two new routes as part of our packed summer schedule is very exciting for us. Ibiza is known as a party-island but is so much more than that, with quieter parts of the island offering some stunning locations for a sedate and luxurious holiday.\n“It’s a brilliant addition to our summer sun schedule. We have already seen the success of the year-round Ryanair service to Alicante and with other sunshine destinations including Tenerife, Lanzarote, Barcelona-Reus, Fuerteventura, Faro and Malaga. Holidaymakers need to look no further than Shannon for the most comfortable travel experience in Ireland.”\nHe continued: “East Midlands is a gateway to a really interesting part of the UK, giving access to the likes of Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, all of which have a huge range of things to do and see, very interesting heritage and vibrant culture. It’s an excellent addition to our UK schedule and a real statement about the importance and potential of the UK market, despite Brexit uncertainty.”\nThe airport managing director said that investment in the airport is a real lure for passengers this summer. “Our top-class facilities, parking, and shopping make flying in and out of Shannon less stressful. Passengers can pass seamlessly through the airport and in 20 minutes they can be home in Limerick or an hour in Galway. We have invested massively over the past number of years in offering our passengers the most accessible and convenient travel experience, and our hard work is paying off. We have received excellent feedback from our passengers who know that flying through Shannon makes travelling easier.”", "domain": "geography"}

This is a particularly optimal location for a ground station because the Swarm satellites are in polar orbits, passing over the South (and North) poles every 94 minutes. Any IoT data or messages collected by the Swarm satellites during the orbit can be downloaded once the satellite passes over a pole, or McMurdo Station. Existing satellite connectivity at McMurdo and all southern bases on Antarctica is very poor: we were excited to meet engineers and scientists who felt this pain and wanted to learn more about Swarm and the connectivity solutions we could offer. At certain times of day, there is a 4 hour communications blackout between McMurdo Station and South Pole bases, making scientific and operations communication extremely difficult.\nOn our journey to Antarctica, we first flew to Christchurch, New Zealand, where we went through training and extreme clothing outfitting to make sure we were prepared for the low temperatures “on ice.” Our most notable equipment was the large red Canadian Goose parka (rated down to -60C) and inflatable “bunny boots” for walking around on the ice. The flight South from New Zealand was aboard a C-17 military cargo aircraft, run and operated by the U.S. Air Force. In addition to passengers,a large Volvo front-end loader for operations at the base was onboard, “freshies” (fresh fruits and vegetables, since no plants can grow at the base), and pallets of scientific equipment from universities and national laboratories.\nArriving in McMurdo was an intense experience: we landed on a permanent ice runway, walked out of the plane with our parkas, large bunny boots, and were immediately hit with a blast of frigid polar air in near white-out conditions. Our ground transport waiting for us on the ice was an arctic land vehicle with comically large tires, thick insulated walls and survival gear inside. It took us on a one hour journey to McMurdo Station, the permanently inhabited U.S. base.\nUpon arrival at McMurdo, we went through orientation training (which seemed to be a combination of survival and Space Camp training!) and then were allowed to navigate around the base on our own. It felt like a small town, complete with a dining hall, hospital, two bars, three work-out areas, a recreation hall, and dorm rooms. We discovered that the cafeteria was even better than expected at our first dinner, and we enjoyed some of the “freshies”, which had arrived on our flight.\nInstalling Swarm’s Ground Station\nThe following morning we woke up before 7am (but the sun had never really set so it was already quite bright) to attend an additional briefing, hosted by the NSF Science team. Our fellow scientists shared their planned experiments and NSF staff described their operations and logistics roles. Temperatures were frigid on the second day as we set out, -30C air temperature with a -45C windchill. And this was summer down here!\nWe headed to the “Comms Building” and got to work trying to connect to IP ports and deploy our antennas on the roof. We had custom designed and constructed our antennas for the -60C temperatures and had previously tested them in a wind tunnel at up to 200 mph winds. (We were told that 100 MPH gusts were not uncommon during the Antarctic winter months.) We met several members of the NSF communications team, who are tasked with keeping the scientific data and personnel data flowing on the base. The entire base of 1,000 members (during the summer) share a single connection of 17 Mbps (the equivalent of a single cell phone connection). The comms team “antenna riggers”, who’s full time job is to install antennas at McMurdo station, assisted in the deployment of the antennas on the Comms building roof. The Swarm antennas have a 360-degree uninterrupted view of the horizons which is great for communicating with the Swarm satellites in our polar sun-synchronous orbits and look out over the Ross Sea Ice Shelf.\nOnce we sorted out all the equipment on the first day, I went to the roof with the riggers, while one of our engineers back home in Utah, Alan, debugged the ground station connectivity remotely. By lunchtime we had one antenna installed on the roof and both ground stations (one primary, and one backup) on the network, although we were still dealing with VPN port access permissions. By 4pm we had the systems installed, and were waiting for the IP issue to be resolved, which would require support from someone currently at the South Pole. The 4–8hr comms blackout was a difficult operational task to deal with during equipment set up and debugging. Sara kept warm in the comms building, program managed the rest of the installation, photo documented the process and procedures, and maintained communication with Alan back home by Slack and email.\nOn the third day, the weather turned out to be quite nice and resulted in blue, sunny skies at a balmy temperature of -7 C. The sunny day allowed us to dodge from building to building without our Polar Parkas on.\nExploring the Ross Ice Shelf\nWe spent the following days diagnosing the network connectivity, and testing the newly installed ground station with a prototype “Tracker” device, a handheld Swarm satellite modem, that we brought with us. We took the Tracker for a spin out on the ice using “Ice Bikes” from base, filed an off-base “exercise plan,” and rode out onto the Ross Ice Shelf on a very strict designated vehicle/walking/bike path from McMurdo Station to Scott Base. Out on the Ross Ice Shelf, the views were incredible, gazing out at the Olympus range through crystal clear air (nearly 0% humidity).\nIn the remaining time “on ice,” we attended additional safety training briefings, exercised by running around base, hiked up “Observation Hill” for a panoramic view of McMurdo Station, the historic Discovery Hut that was built in 1901, and Mount Erebus, the southernmost active Volcano on Earth.\nAntarctica is intense\nThe environment in Antarctica is intense, and can turn to dangerous or deadly conditions for anyone trapped away from base unprepared. The air temperature during our visit varied from -10C to -30C, with a wind chill down to -45C. I grew up in Wisconsin, and Sara in Winnipeg, and we thought it would be a breeze to cope well with the extreme “summer” temperatures. Antarctica proved to be far more challenging than the Northern Midwest. There were two days where it was difficult to breath without a face covering, and any exposed skin was at risk of frost-nip and frost-bite within minutes. The humidity level was basically zero, which meant that everything metallic gave you a shock at each doorknob grab. It was surprising that my laptop survived the multiple shocks per day. With limited communications to the outside world, psychological and physical isolation, specialized clothing required, low temperatures, and dry rocky conditions, it felt like we were on the surface of the Moon or Mars. In fact, a good number of the NASA psychological studies of isolated small groups come from various “winter-over” periods at McMurdo and South Pole bases.\nAs we deploy several dozen ground stations around the Earth for Swarm’s satellite communications, we envision a world where satellite data connectivity is so wide-spread and at such a low cost, that any person or sensor can have a communications device at any point on Earth at all times. We plan to make that dream a reality in 2020 as we build out our network and launch the first of Swarm’s planned communications constellations around the Earth. Perhaps one day, we will even launch some of our satellites to lunar orbit and bring communications to an astronaut working in a nearby crater at “New McMurdo Station” on the Moon.\nIn a future post, I will talk about our results from deploying the McMurdo ground station, our user ground modem research, and the remote science applications they help unlock for the research community. Stay tuned!\nDr. Benjamin Longmier\nSwarm Co-Founder and CTO", "domain": "geography"}

It was incredible. There is so much I could tell you about it, but here is an overview!\nDuring a six hour coach ride from Ouarzazate airport in Morocco to the start point of the race we were presented with ‘the roadbook’. The coach avidly scanned the book, I think many to see how long the longest day in the history of the race would actually be (92km)!\nEventually we pulled off the road, into the darkness……with head torches on we made for the bivouac to find our home for the week. Tent 115 ‘Yorkshire tent’ turned out to be a very happy place. The eight of us shared highs and lows and made fantastic memories – some painful – together.\nSo, these are the distances which we tackled and a few of the high and low points of each day.\nStage 1 – 36.2 km (22.6 mile)\nAt daybreak we were informed of a new time zone ‘race time’. It was actually only 6am when we thought it was 7am.\nThat left 3 hours till the start. Before we set off we formed a 30 shape to represent the 30th anniversary of the race. You can just see the Yorkshire flag in the bottom right of the zero. Then there was 30 minutes of race briefing/welcome from race organiser Patrick Bauer – in French. The English translation lasted about 1 minute. Good luck – stay safe! John and I got separated from the rest of our tent and ended up starting with some of our our tent neighbours.\nWe slowly caught and passed all our tent mates. Jay ran with us for a while. It took at least an hour to catch Fe and Simon. The stage started flat with some small climbs throughout the day. Tent mates Paul and Ben passed us again in a check point while we were having a routine change of socks (blister prevention). We later caught them again and spent an hour or so all together. Day one finished with a climb and a descent into camp. We ran strong into the finish. All of tent 115 back safe and not long between us.\nStage 2 – 31.1 km (19.4 mile)\nThis stage was stunning. A flat start and then a big climb. 360 panoramic views from the top. The scenery so dramatic and big. We soon had a river crossing and then a proper dune which turned into another big climb. We then set off in the now heat of the day across a huge plain surrounded by mountains. After a few miles we could see a check point, still miles away – there was a helicopter there which looked like something out of a kinder egg (so far away!). As we got closer we could still see no way out of this ‘bowl’ which we were in. But then we could see – along the right ridge of this dune and over the top! I reverted to a kid on an adventure and the excitement combined with knowing the finish was over the other side I ran ahead of John. The descent was brilliant, rough like a Yorkshire fell before a few km of little dunes which were lots of fun to ‘surf’ down. I finished the day with another Yorkshire participant and arrived back 3rd from tent 115. This was my favourite day of the race.\nStage 3 – 36.7 km (22.9 miles)\nWow – it was hot today. Really hot. The morning had lots of rocky terrain which was very runnable. Then we had to cross a huge cracked lake bed.\nBefore traversing plenty of dunes.\nAgain we finished with a decent climb and a descent to the finish. This time though the big climb wasn’t the last climb and over the summit there was another one! I decided I wanted to try and finish in the same time as the first day, so cracked on in the heat over the last few km, finishing only slightly behind the first day time, but much higher up the positions.\nAgain we spent plenty of time taking photos and I think JB even thought he was on his holidays!\nStage 4 – 91.7 km (57.3 miles)\nWhat can I say about this. We started in 40 mph winds up a huge sand dune, not conducive to running so we conserved energy. The descent was awesome and made up for the hellish hour it took to get there! The wind settled a bit but it was tough going to CP1, so more walking. The windy weather meant I missed my morning cuppa. Once I realised that was probably the cause of my lethargy I popped some caffeine nuuns and felt much better. The day passed. The heat was immense in the middle of the day. Sunset was beautiful. We were by a ruin as the sun went down. It was really stunning. At the same time we stumbled on camel carcasses and to quote a fellow northern runner “even camels can’t survive here”! At 7pm head torches were compulsory and glow sticks were activated. Now we followed yellow glow sticks of people and green glow sticks of markers. After dinner at a check point and a scary encounter with a camel spider (like a scorpion but white) we pressed on. Dunes. Lots and lots of dunes. Hours and hours of dunes. Amongst the dunes was a checkpoint with deckchairs and sultan tea. It was so welcome but we didn’t stop long. At the next checkpoint we befriended Mark whose GPS emergency tracker had failed. The three of us trudged on like zombies through the night. Sunrise brought hope and life again. My legs which were agony with fatigue felt better. We were greeted by camels on what seemed like camel race track. Somehow we ran together the last km to the finish. It was nearly 7am. We needed extra direction to find the bivouac! It was in the same place as usual! Ben and Paul were already asleep. We were next back. Quick recovery shake, wash, change and sleep. 2 hours later I was awake and my legs were throbbing despite me sleeping with them raised on my bag. I got up and walked back to the finish line and sat wrapped in my sleeping bag watching people finish. It wasn’t until the afternoon that the remainder of our tent mates arrived back. I enjoyed the rest day and ate 3 meals which was a treat! Even better we all got a can of cold coke in the afternoon. At 8pm ish we all went to watch the last runners cross the line…..\nStage 5 – 42.2 km (26.4 miles)\nThe marathon stage. Today we started early, about 7:20 by the time Patrick had wished us all well. It was cooler and I felt great. So did JB and Ben. We ran together. We ran well all the way to CP2. No conserving energy up hill or in dunes. We just ran, except when we stopped for photos with wild camels! The ground was uneven and rocky but hard – perfect for a runner from Yorkshire! At CP2 I urged my running buddies to go ahead. I was fading and they were strong. It was nice to have time alone in some very pretty and quite large sand dunes. This is when the emotions hit. I had less than 15km till\nthe end of the Marathon des Sables and I felt good. I was going to do it!! After a few km of choking back the tears whilst walking and soaking it all in I started to run again. I passed people, including Graham Bell (he might have led me by a long way all week but now I was beating a former Olympian in a marathon!!). I encouraged my tent neighbour as we went into the last 5km. It was never ending but I just kept running! My recently (a mind game with myself in the final few km of the race to motivate me to keep running) set target being to beat my time from day 2 (which was 10km shorter). The finish didn’t arrive. Garmin said 42 km and no finish in sight. I stopped looking at garmin and kept running. Eventually I summitted a rise and the finish was there – only a few hundred metres more. I crossed the line. I had finished the marathon des sables!!\nI missed my fastest stage time by a few minutes but I was ecstatic! All my tent mates finished too. That evening we were given a can of beer and we celebrated together. We did it!\nAnd then we had to do the Charity stage – 11.5 km (7 miles)\n– this is not officially part of the MdS but it was\ncompulsory! We were still in self sufficiency mode too so still no shower in sight. For this day we were all given a clean t shirt! As a tent we walked together. It was so good to be with the team who I had shared this journey with.\nSince I have been back there have been a few reoccurring questions that I am asked, so in case you are wondering too:\nHow do you feel?Are you aching?\nI have been super tired, but no aches and pains to report. I am feeling about back to normal now.\nDid you get to meet Ranulph Fiennes?\nRan was in the tent next door but one so we saw him most days. He seemed a very lovely man. Here is a picture with Ran and his coach Rory at the start on the first day.\nWas it really ‘the toughest footrace on earth’?\nDuring the long stage I realised that yes it probably was! The culminative effect of the previous days running, sleeping under canvas in the wind and the calorie deficit combined with an absolutely hellish route was pretty punishing. That said, I haven’t completed any of the other races also claiming this title, so can only conclude that it was certainly tough.\nDid you get blisters?\nA small one on my little toe. This is it on the bus ride back to Ouarzazate. It popped in the shower at the hotel and disappeared for good.\nWould you do it again?\nAbsolutely! The camaraderie of camp life was unbelievable. I have laughed so much. Race organisation was spot on (aside from lots of queueing) and the scenery was out of this world…..But I am in no rush – there are plenty of other places to go and see first….\nSo what’s next? How will you top this?\nI don’t know yet! For now, I am going to enjoy the sofa and relish in the feeling of completing the Marathon des Sables.", "domain": "geography"}

At the extremely exposed location at 3820 m a. s. l. on the western flank of the 3883-metre-high Klein Matterhorn in Zermatt, the cable car station of the new three-cable circulating cable car is probably the highest wooden building in Europe.

Consumers love to live out their favourite movie fantasies, and the owners are reaping the benefits.\nThis Stayz’s 2015 Best Unique Property in NSW award winner is also an excellent example of how consumers do not necessarily require five-star to be blown away, but they do appreciate authenticity.\nWhile only built in 2003, you’d swear these cattlemen’s huts had stood for a century or more. In fact, owner Brett Smith modelled their design on one that did exist nearby for easily that long. Inside, you’ll find an 80-year-old wood stove, 100-year-old wrought iron beds, 70-year-old fly fishing rods and an 80-year-old fully functioning candlestick telephone.\nGuests to Moonbah take a breath of fresh mountain air and step back in time.\nParrrrradise. This has to be the best place in the world, awesome place. Words can’t describe it, magical, picturesque, a slice of heaven – really it has to be seen to be believed. If only we could have stayed a little longer, the log fire, the long showers – the huge trout. Scones cooked in the wood oven. OMG it’s amazing. Tripadvisor\nOverall, Moonbah ticks all the boxes for a great mountain escape.\nA SPECTACULAR LOCATION WITH ABUNDANT WILDLIFE AND GREAT FISHING\nThe scenery at Moonbah is breathtaking, as well as at night when millions of bright stars make it an astronomer’s paradise.\nIt has wildlife in abundance, from kangaroos, emus, wombats, wild brumbies, platypus, wild deer, frogs, and sixty plus species of birdlife. Cattle, rabbits and the owner’s Border Collie, Buster, also add to the country atmosphere.\nMoonbah is a fisherman’s paradise, providing guests private access to the Blue Ribbon declared Moonbah River – the region’s most pristine trout stream. The Lake Hut also fronts a small private lake containing brown, brook and rainbow trout. Expert fly guiding and tuition can be arranged with rods and all the required gear available for hire.\nFor the adventurous, Norco 24 speed suspension bikes are on hand for a mountain ride or guests can take a plethora of external tours to invigorate the soul.\nOUT OF THIS WORLD BUT CLOSE ENOUGH TO AMENITIES\nImportantly, for today’s city-based travellers, Moonbah is far enough away for guests to feel like they are the only people on the planet but close enough to all the services that they are accustom to, located a short 15 minutes drive from the ski resort town of Jindabyne.\nRUSTIC HUTS WITH SPECIAL TOUCHES TO SURPRISE GUESTS\nMaintaining heritage authenticity, the Moonbah Huts are certainly not a 5-star resort, but they offer rustic granite walls and impressive timber beams combined with a little bit of luxe.\nTo stay toasty warm in this extreme environment, the huts feature beautiful open stone fireplaces and underfloor heating. Keeping with tradition, there is no television reception, no mobile phone service, and no internet access; though there is a docking station for musical enjoyment!\nThe beautifully presented bedrooms offer high-quality bedding, snuggly fur inspired quilts and electric blankets.\nThroughout, guests experience thoughtfully memories of a bygone era.\nA particularly guest favourite is the use of old newspaper cuttings on toilet walls that date back to the 1920’s.\nA luxuriating claw foot bath provides the perfect way to finish the day. Alternatively, guests can unwind in a rocking chair on the verandah or on an outdoor lounge, lakeside.\nUnderstanding the importance of ‘special touches’, Brett also surprises guests with local schnapps, Maggie Beer ice cream, Swiss chocolates, and Penfolds wine.\nIn closing, we will let a past guest have the last word as ultimately it’s the consumer we all need to please:\nThanks, Moonbah Hut for one of our most memorable holidays yet! …too rare combination of natural beauty, perfect accommodation, and outstanding host. Tripadvisor\nNot only has uniqueness and authenticity created highly satisfied customers, it has also generated fantastic PR opportunities. The Huts have hosted the Channel 7 Sunrise program, Channel 9’s The Living Room and have featured in numerous national and international magazines.\nIt pays to stand out from the crowd!\nP.S – Before using movie soundtracks, make sure you have the legal right to do so.

This new investment will accelerate Greenlight’s growth in building and connecting fiber-to-the-home broadband services across New York state and beyond.\nWith multiple investments in the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) space dating back to 2014, Oak Hill has actively supported increased fiber access across the United States. Greenlight’s network reaches approximately 80,000 homes today, and the company believes it will reach more than 800,000 homes with broadband Internet. To support this expansion, Oak Hill plans to invest up to $300 million in the company. Greenlight currently has 160 employees and expects to add 70 additional jobs by the end of this year, creating economic development and employment opportunities for local contractors.\n“Oak Hill is an ideal partner to support our growth strategy, and its commitment of capital, resources and expertise is critical as we prepare to grow,” said Greenlight Founder and Chief Executive Officer Mark Murphy. “Like Greenlight, Oak Hill understands that fiber Internet is the future and rapid expansion is necessary to meet the growing demand. This investment comes at an important time when the federal government has made broadband a national priority with enhanced broadband benefits and new capital available for broadband expansion in unserved and underserved areas. We hope to participate in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and are a proud provider of the Affordable Connectivity Program. Greenlight is primed to address the broadband emergency in New York state and beyond where consumers often either have limited or no choice for broadband.”\n“Oak Hill believes that access to reliable, high-speed fiber Internet connections represents a fundamental necessity for all communities, large and small,” said Scott Baker, a Partner at Oak Hill. “We enthusiastically support Greenlight’s mission to expand Internet access and drive economic growth in underserved cities and towns across New York state and the northeast, and we share the company’s continued commitment to delivering the highest quality service experience possible for all customers. We are excited to partner with our long-time friend Mark Murphy and the rest of the talented Greenlight management team to further accelerate the company’s growth.”\nGreenlight Networks was founded in 2011 by CEO Mark Murphy. Murphy and the existing Greenlight management team will continue to lead the company in conjunction with the Oak Hill team.\n“I’d like to thank my partners and board members, Tom Golisano and Tom Bonadio of Impact Capital. Since 2018, they have funded our growth and expansion into three new regions, enabled us to grow our staff from 18 to 160 employees, created hundreds of jobs for local contractors, connected tens of thousands of households to the fastest Internet available, and brought much needed broadband competition to consumers in Upstate New York,” added Murphy. “New York continues to be fortunate to have these gentlemen investing here, and I’ve been fortunate to learn a great deal about how to accelerate our business from them.”\nThe transaction, which is expected to close this spring, is subject to New York State Public Service Commission approval. Bank Street Group LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Greenlight Networks and TD Securities served as financial advisor to Oak Hill in connection with this transaction. Financial terms were not disclosed.\nAbout Greenlight Networks\nGreenlight Networks is an ultra-high-speed, broadband service provider, offering residential and small business customers Internet speeds up to 2 Gigabits per second. Greenlight Networks was founded in 2011 and builds, owns, and operates a fiber-optic network that provides extremely high-speed Internet connections. The company currently provides high-speed fiber internet to approximately 80,000 homes in 20 municipalities in the Rochester, Buffalo and Binghamton areas. For more information, visit GreenlightNetworks.com or find it on Facebook.com/GreenlightNetworks, and @GreenlightFiber on Twitter.\nAbout Oak Hill Capital\nOak Hill Capital is a private equity firm managing funds with over $19 billion of initial capital commitments and co-investments since inception. Over the past 36 years, Oak Hill Capital and its predecessors have invested in approximately 100 private equity transactions across broad segments of the U.S. and global economies.

We got to our hotel at approximately 6:00pm on April 26th, and unpacked our bags, and ate dinner. After dinner we had a safety lecture regarding the dangers involved with snorkeling and some of the creatures we may encounter which may do us harm.\nAfter that we were all pretty quick to get into bed and get a good long sleep, as we have been in airports since 7:00 that morning.\nThe next morning was an early one, and we were up and eating breakfast by 7:00am. At 8:00am the group met in the “lab” building and suited up for our first snorkeling experience! Dressed to the nines in our wetsuits and toting with us our flippers, masks and snorkels, we walked to a nearby beach area, (Stafford Creek Beach) and began our adventuring! The beach was quaint and small, and had it not been for the occasionally anchored sailboat, you would have thought you were marooned on a deserted island somewhere!\nWe snorkeled around the area, getting to know the common fish, algae and plant species, and recording those we couldn’t identify. We spent all morning in the water and at around 11:30 we made our way back to the hotel for lunch.\nAfter lunch we again donned our [very attractive] wetsuits and made our way just past the beach we visited in the morning and down to a small “resort” of sorts. Here we got on a boat and took a trip out to a blue hole.\nBlue hole are essentially large depressions or drop offs which are circular in shape and can be seen aerial, since they appear as a large dark blue circle in the middle of the turquoise sea. These areas were FILLED. With fish of all types, shapes, sizes and colours. It was pretty amazing to be able to see them relatively up close!\nAfter we did some exploring of the area, we completed some monitoring in the form of quadrat sampling and line transects (all of which is much more difficult to complete underwater in the middle of the ocean!). We snorkeled around there for approximately three hours and by 4:30 we were making our way back to the beach by boat. During our data collection we collected samples of algae and vegetation which we could not identify so that we could look at them more closely when we got back to the lab.\nDinner was at 6:00 pm, then we had our usual lecture after dinner from 7:00pm until 9:30pm.\nAfter a full day of sun and activity, we were all pretty tired and simply headed to bed in preparation for another full, busy and tiring day.\nApril 28th 2013\nThis schedule for the morning today was the same as any other day, breakfast at 7:00 am and then meeting to leave for our daily excursion at 8:00 am. Today we went and explored around inside of a mangrove mangle and got pretty muddy in the process. In the mangle we completed line transect and my group even got to see a shark!! Up close and personal, swam right into our legs! That was pretty amazing.\nAfter we were finished taking our measurements from the mangroves mangle, we made out way back to the hotel for some lunch.\nAfter lunch we got suited up in our wet suits and headed upstream. Once upstream we swam along the shore and collected data and observations on fish animal and plant species seen within varying shoreline compositions.\nDay 3 on the Island- April 29th 2013\nToday was a full day excursion day, and it was amazing! We left the hotel at around 8:30am and took a boat out into the middle of the ocean and got to swim around some patch reefs. (these are essentially just patches of reef and not a full reef). Here in among the patch reefs we saw tons of fish and tons of coral. Among some of the fish we saw here we saw; Scrawled Cowfish, Angelfish, Sergeant Major fish, Damselfish, Parrot fish and even a ray! (I have/will be including pictures)\nWe snorkeled around the patch reefs until about 11:30am and then headed back to the boat. We then took the boat over to a totally deserted, abandoned island and had a packed sandwich and chip lunch.\nWe spent another 40 minutes hanging out on the island, exploring and collecting shells (I found a big conch shell!).\nAfter our lunch break was over we climbed back into the boat and headed for a place called “Rat Key”. Here we got to explore around another Blue hole. While we were there among the highlights of the species seen was a GIANT southern stingray! It was easily 3 feet in diameter. It was hiding half buried in the sand at the bottom of the blue hole, until it got spooked and, almost majestically, floated up out of the sand and swam away. At the blue hole we also got to get up close and personal with some very interesting brain coral, sea rods and anemones. We also got to see Blue Tang fish, Gray Angelfish, French Angelfish, Yellowtail Snappers, Gray Snappers, Stoplight Parrotfish, Starfish, and plenty of rock boring urchins!", "domain": "geography"}

Go whitewater rafting, trek through the rainforest, climb a volcano, snorkel, or fish. Then there are the Pacific and Caribbean beaches, separated by just 75 miles of the narrow peninsula.\n- Arenal Volcano National Park\nExplore the rich biodiversity of Arenal Volcano National Park. Consisting of rainforests, a lake, hot springs, and two volcanoes, the park offers plenty to do and see! As a protected area, the land is well-maintained to ensure the conservation of its ecosystem. Get an up-close view of the park’s two volcanoes, Arenal and Chato. Arenal is the country’s most active volcano, with small eruptions occurring multiple times daily. On the other hand, Chato has been dormant for more than 3,000 years. The park has a gorgeous setting, with lush rainforests amid the serene Lake Arenal.\n- Coffee plantations\nIf you’re a coffee lover, a trip to one of Costa Rica’s coffee plantations is a must! Initially, growing coffee beans was seen as a way to boost the local economy, but the country has since become one of the best coffee producers in the world. All coffee is made from Arábica beans. Fertile soil, high altitude, and lots of rain enhance the beans’ flavor. It’s no wonder the Arábica bean is known as the “golden bean.” Take a tour and learn the history and production techniques used to curate this delicious coffee. There are coffee plantations throughout the country, but many are in the Central Valley.\n- Playa Panama\nLocated in Guanacaste province, Playa Panama is one of the most attractive beaches in the area. The waters are crystal blue, surrounding pristine beaches perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the dry tropical forests. These forests are home to over 300 species of bird, 100 reptiles and amphibians, and more than 140 species of mammals, including pumas, white-faced monkeys, peccary, tapirs, and so much more! Playa Panama offers travelers a tranquil atmosphere without the crowds of a downtown area and is perfect for solo travelers and groups.\n- San José\nCosta Rica’s capital city is relatively small compared to other countries. This compact space has all the elements of a traditional capital city: museums, national parks, and a bustling business district. But contrary to its capital counterparts, breathtaking natural beauty awaits outside its perimeter. The La Paz Waterfall Gardens are the perfect stop before heading into or out of the city. Here, you will find magnificent waterfalls surrounded by fascinating flora and fauna. Once in the city, immerse yourself in the local lifestyle by listening to street performers, browsing the stalls of merchants selling artisan crafts, and learning about history and culture with a visit to a museum, like the Jade Museum. Relax like a local with Costa Rica’s national drink, Guaro.\n- Outdoor adventures\nThanks to its warm weather, lush landscape, and incredible wildlife, there is no shortage of adventure in Costa Rica! From leisurely bird-watching or relaxing in a hot spring to adrenaline-inducing activities such as walking high in the sky on an aerial bridge or white water rafting through fierce rapids, any adventurer will fall in love with the outdoor lifestyle that awaits you. Check out our Costa Rica tour to get ideas for your trip!\n- Hot springs\nWith so many exhilarating activities to do, pamper yourself and relax with one of the numerous hot springs found throughout the country. Costa Rica is home to five active volcanoes, so it’s no surprise that hot springs are one of the country’s most popular attractions. Formed by volcanic springs heated underground, the hot springs offer the ultimate pampering experience for travelers to unwind and renew in the mineral-rich waters. So sit back and enjoy a therapeutic soak after a long day of exploration.\nAlready booked on one of our packages to Costa Rica? See everything you need to know before you go.\nCapital: San José\n|Please see our Entry Requirements page.\nMalaria is present in Costa Rica. Take precautions against getting mosquito bites. Speak with your doctor about taking a prescription medicine (before, during, and after your trip) to prevent malaria.\nCosta Rica is a year-round destination. Temperatures in San Jose and the Central Highlands are mild and springlike. The mountains can be cool at night. Coastal areas tend to be hot and steamy, but hot and dry in the Pacific northwest.\nDecember through May is Costa Rica's relatively dry period. June through October tends to be wetter, but as a result the vegetation looks even more verdant during this time.\nMost restaurants include the 13% restaurant tax and the 10% service charge. Check the bottom of the menu or ask your server if the charge is included. Add a small tip on top of the 10% service charge if you feel the service was excellent.\n|Money & Credit Cards\nU.S. credit/debit cards are widely accepted throughout Costa Rica and typically offer the best exchange rate.\nAlways notify your bank prior to departure to avoid any problems using your credit or debit card while traveling.\nShop for pottery, traditional miniature painted oxcarts, jewelry made of semiprecious stones, hand-painted feathers, wood carvings, leather goods, and other high quality handicrafts. Tasty local treats such as coffee, rum, coffee liqueur, macadamia nuts and hearts of palm, also make great souvenirs.\n|Electricity & Power Adapters\nVoltage: 110-120 volts. Plugs A & B. You will probably need a voltage converter and plug adapter in order to use U.S. appliances. We recommend getting a universal adapter and converter kit.\nLearn more about electrical standards around the world.\n|Cell Phones & Internet\nTours & Packages\n- Destinations: Costa Rica\n- including closed packages\nTrip Reviews & Photos\nWe love hearing your stories and seeing your photos!

Do you dare to take a seat in a real bob and try it out?\nIf this feels to wintery to you, you can also have a swim in the lake next to the camping ground. And of course, there are plenty of hiking trails through the Thuringian Forest starting in Oberhof. Explore them yourselves or take part in a guided tour. There are also guided night walks with torches. After too much of hiking, you might consider making a trip by horse carriage.\nWithin Germany, Thuringia is famous for two kinds of food: Bratwurst and Klöße. Want to know more about Germany’s most famous sausage? Visit the Bratwurst Museum in a neighbouring town. Or learn how to make the original Thüringer Klöße, a special kind of potato dumplings in a cooking workshop with the current Kloßkönigin, the Dumpling Queen. (No, we didn’t made this up!)\nEat and drink\nRestaurants are plenty and very affordable in Oberhof. You can have a good lunch or dinner in a restaurant close to the tournament for around 6€. A good beer (0.3l) in a restaurant costs around 2€. (Want to spend even less on food? There is also a McDonald’s in Oberhof, or you can buy food in supermarkets, bakeries and other shops in town.)\nBesides traditional German food, there are a number of international restaurants (e.g. Italian, Chinese, Swiss, Bulgarian) and – for a special treat – some nice upper-scale restaurants with international cuisine. Finally, Oberhof also offers a number of bars and pubs for those who don’t only want to play Go until late at night…\nOberhof is ideally located within the heart of Germany, so there are many one-day or half-day trips possible to places with top tourist attractions , such as Eisenach (the city of Martin Luther), Saalfeld (with its “Fairy Cave”), Weimar (city of Goethe and Schiller), Leipzig (one of the major German cities), Erfurt (with its famous cathedral), Bamberg (with its picturesque medieval city center), Lauscha (where you can blow glass by yourself) and many more. There will be guided tours provided by the hotel, but of course you can also easily explore these places by yourself – getting there by car or train is fast and convenient.\nHere we have some photos for you to give you a first impression…", "domain": "geography"}

As the pandemic progresses, it is unclear if the disparities have evolved. In this study, we aim to elicit the dynamic landscape of COVID-19 disparities at the community level and identify newly emerged vulnerable subpopulations. Materials and Methods: We compiled biweekly COVID-19 case counts of 274 zip code tabulation areas (ZCTAs) in Arizona from October 21, 2020, to November 25, 2021, during which the COVID-19 growth rate has changed significantly. Within each growth period, we detected health disparities by testing associations between the growth rate of COVID-19 cases in a ZCTA and the population composition of race/ethnicity, income, employment, and age. We then compared the associations between periods to discover temporal patterns of health disparities. Results: High percentage of Latinx or Black residents, high poverty rate, and young median age were risk factors of high cumulative COVID-19 case counts in a ZCTA. However, the impact of these factors on the growth rate of new COVID-19 cases varied. While high percentage of Black residents and young median age remained as risk factors of fast COVID-19 growth rate, high poverty rate became a protective factor. The association between the percentage of Latinx residents and the COVID-19 growth rate converted from positive to negative during summer 2021. The unemployment rate emerged as a new risk factor of fast COVID-19 growth rate after September 2021. Based on these findings, we identified 37 ZCTAs that are highly vulnerable to fast escalation of COVID-19 cases. Discussion and Conclusion: As the pandemic progresses, disadvantaged communities continue suffering from escalated risk of COVID-19 infection. But the vulnerabilities have evolved. While the disparities related to Latinx ethnicity improved gradually, those related to Black ethnicity and young communities aggravated. The struggle of financially disadvantaged communities continued, although the burden had shifted from those living under the poverty line to those with a high unemployment rate. It is necessary to adjust current resource allocations and design and deploy new interventions to address emerging needs.\n- Downloaded 207 times\n- Download rankings, all-time:\n- Site-wide: 180,327\n- In public and global health: 2,568\n- Year to date:\n- Site-wide: 57,197\n- Since beginning of last month:\n- Site-wide: 177,457\nDownloads over time\nDistribution of downloads per paper, site-wide\n- 27 Nov 2020: The website and API now include results pulled from medRxiv as well as bioRxiv.\n- 18 Dec 2019: We're pleased to announce PanLingua, a new tool that enables you to search for machine-translated bioRxiv preprints using more than 100 different languages.\n- 21 May 2019: PLOS Biology has published a community page about Rxivist.org and its design.\n- 10 May 2019: The paper analyzing the Rxivist dataset has been published at eLife.\n- 1 Mar 2019: We now have summary statistics about bioRxiv downloads and submissions.\n- 8 Feb 2019: Data from Altmetric is now available on the Rxivist details page for every preprint.

The belief that no matter one’s faith, origin, background, or beliefs, we all need to eat. That the feeling of being nourished belongs to everyone. That growing clean, healthy food doesn’t need to be hard or expensive or take vast knowledge and skill. That even in challenging conditions, we can grow plenty of good food to share. We didn’t know what was going to happen when we started this journey but it turns out that you agree with us. For that, we thank you.\nOver the last two years, Foundroot has grown to stand on its own in a way that we never anticipated. With the support that you have given us and after much searching and careful consideration, we have finally found our home in the town of Haines, AK.\nAlthough we will miss Southcentral Alaska, we chose to purchase land in the town of Haines for very specific reasons. In order to make Foundroot viable, we needed to head to a part of Alaska that was more conducive to overwintering crops. We looked at several areas with milder winters and a shallower frost line than Palmer but Haines had some special elements that convinced us further. The difference between Haines and other towns in Southeast Alaska is that Haines has around 47 inches of annual precipitation but goes through a dry spell every May through July. The deep snowpack insulates the ground through the winter but usually melts off earlier to allow for a slightly longer growing season. Less extreme temperature fluctuation, shallower frost line, insulated ground, a chance for everything to dry out, and a slightly longer season will give us a real shot at growing seriously hardy seeds.\nThe land we’ve purchased was a small part of the original Charles Anway Homestead. Mr. Anway was far ahead of his time growing the first apple orchard, first cherry tree orchard, and the largest strawberry in Alaska. A visionary horticulturist, Anway was also a true homesteader growing potatoes, raising livestock, and building wood furniture. The land he left has since been reforested and dappled with modern homes but the rich soil remains and the land is still sheltered from the wind and warm on its south-facing slope. You can learn more about the preservation work regarding the Anway Homestead from the Sheldon Museum in Haines. We look forward to working with them along with 7 Echoes, a developing permaculture homestead, the burgeoning group of new farmers in Southeast AK, and the broader Haines community.\nDuring this transition, you can look forward to continuing online sales and seeing us at select events around the state. We will do our best to keep you updated with our progress through our blog and social networking sites as we undertake this great experiment. We anticipate many new challenges learning the land in a different area of the state we love so dearly. Luckily, the blossoming cherry trees, wild thimbleberries, and overwintered kale offer us much encouragement.\nPlease keep in touch,\nNick & Leah", "domain": "geography"}

They are neighbors with the Pacific Ocean connecting them. Prevailing currents from Alaska to the Hawaiian islands carry the migrating Pacific humpback whales, connecting air currents carry migrating shorebirds such as the golden plover (also known as kolea) and the island hopping ruddy turnstone. Both places are hot spots on the volcanic \"ring of fire\", with active, concurrently erupting volcanoes.\nA garland of origami paper whales was created by students from the Volcano School of Arts & Sciences, Big Island, Hawaii. The handmade gift was sent to Homer, Alaska to welcome the burning basket project to Hawaii. This garland with their written messages was incorporated in the 2007 burning basket in Homer.\nStudents from Fireweed Academy, Homer, Alaska reciprocated by constructing similar garlands of paper whales that were incorporated in each of the three burning basket sculptures that were then created in Hawaii. These gifts of origami art were an exchange of greetings, and well wishes for safe migrations.\nThe Hawaii burning basket enactments were;\n1. Wishing Bell - Basket of New Beginning, Big Island,\n2.

In 1848, lands from the towns of Blenheim and Broome were incorporated and adopted the name Town of Gilboa. Late in 1878, The Gilboa Monitor newspaper began publishing on Thursdays starting in December 19, 1878. In 1915, the hamlet was selected to be the site of a new dam, the land forming the Schoharie reservoir, and the Shandaken Tunnel sending Catskill water to the municipal water supply of New York City. The Monitor ceased publication on October 10, 1918 and the village was flooded soon after in 1925. The digitization of this 40-year newspaper was provided via the efforts of Richard Lewis, Mary Wyckoff, Lee Hudson, Gerry Stoner, the Gilboa Historical Society, and the Town Board.\nA more intuitive look\nThe NYS Historic Newspapers project has fundamentally changed the look and feel of its website. This change increases functionality throughout, and also provides a state map for ease of geographic access. The advantage of this change is the streamlining of access to the website's content. Searches can now be started from any screen by clicking the search option on the navigation bar. This opens a search window without disrupting the browsing experience. In addition, the state map is optimized for searching. Clicking any county will bring up a page that allows the user to search all newspapers within a county with a custom interface, or browse a list of newspapers contained within that county.\nUpdated search interface\nThe new search window is simplified for ease of use and contains all of the powerful functionality of the previous advanced search menu. Search options are now selected by dropdown menus. In addition, the search entry box has been relocated to the top of the window. To prevent false result sets, the narrowing functionality has been streamlined, allowing the user to select a newspaper, county, or city with a single click, automatically clearing the other two options. In addition, searches are saved, allowing the user to modify search options on the fly for the best results.\nAbout NYS Historic Newspapers\nThe NYS Historic Newspapers project provides free online access to a wide range of newspapers chosen to reflect New York's unique history.

Traveling alone can be a liberating experience and the girls getaway, of course, presents the opportunity for you to leave all your work and family cares behind.\nThe staff writers of SmarterTravel.com have actually identified a few countries that are women-friendly and several regions of the world that are particularly unfriendly—or dangerous—for women to be traveling alone. Here’s a summary, with supporting opinions:\nBest countries for women travelers:\nAmsterdam has safe public transportation and English is widely spoken. Dutch women are pragmatic, independent, and friendly.\nIreland is a welcoming destination for everyone, pubs are inclusive of men, women, and families. Bed and breakfast inns make it easy to experience local flavor.\nCosta Rica is by far the safest of Latin American tourist destinations, friendly and easy-going locals. Costa Rican landscape is picturesque, and comfortable, safe hotels are available for under $40/night. Many hotels also offer shuttle vans to transport tourists from hotels to attractions around the country.\nAlthough India’s crowded, dirty, and poor areas can be intimidating, women largely feel safe in India. Local Indians are friendly and appreciative, women are generally respected and hold upper-level jobs. India’s tourism industry has become luxurious in the past few years.\nThe tourism industry in Vietnam has become more developed in recent years. The country offers plenty of services for tourists ranging from rustic to luxury, and dining and hotels are low-cost.\nWorst countries for women travelers:\nReligion in the Middle East and North Africa plays a big role in daily life, so be sure to educate yourself about the modesty that comes with this. Women will often be dressed in full hijab, including veils, long shirts, and floor length skirts or wide pants. If you’re planning on entering a religious site, dress conservatively (no bare shoulders or short skirts or shorts). Also be prepared to not have equal rights: some Middle Eastern countries require women to have her husband’s permission to leave the country. Once in a country, you are required to abide by their laws.\nIf you travel on the Mediterranean Coast, remember to always have your guard up. It’s not uncommon for women traveling in this regions to report unwanted sexual—or attempted sexual—encounters with male strangers.\nIt may or may not come as a surprise that areas of the United States can be unfriendly towards women. Sexual harassment, as most of us know, is common and sexual violence is an issue in big cities and rural areas alike. Culture varies across our large country, so even though we might speak the same language, always be alert and ask locals which areas are safe for women traveling alone. When using public transportation or walking alone, don’t talk on your cell phone or send text messages: be aware of your surroundings all the time.\nLatin America and the Carribbean have always been a place where women have potential to feel uncomfortable. Besides the usually harmless staring and whistling, drug dealers and more aggressive men can be extremely harmful. If you travel to these areas, travel in groups and stay in tourist areas. Don’t put yourself in vulnerable situations, such as walking alone at night or getting drunk.", "domain": "geography"}

The surface landforms of its ice shell express the subsurface structure, dynamics, and exchange governing this potential. Double ridges are the most common surface feature on Europa and occur across every sector of the moon, but their formation is poorly understood, with current hypotheses providing competing and incomplete mechanisms for the development of their distinct morphology. Here we present the discovery and analysis of a double ridge in Northwest Greenland with the same gravity-scaled geometry as those found on Europa. Using surface elevation and radar sounding data, we show that this double ridge was formed by successive refreezing, pressurization, and fracture of a shallow water sill within the ice sheet. If the same process is responsible for Europa’s double ridges, our results suggest that shallow liquid water is spatially and temporally ubiquitous across Europa’s ice shell.\nJupiter’s icy moon Europa harbors a global subsurface ocean beneath an outer ice shell. The thickness and thermophysical structure of this ice shell are poorly constrained, but models suggest it may be 20–30 km thick with a layer of warm, convecting ice underlying a cold, rigid crust. The detailed structure and dynamics of its ice shell and the timescales over which they evolve are critical for understanding both the fundamental geophysical processes and habitability of Europa. Some of the primary observational constraints on these subsurface processes are their expressions in the surface morphologies imaged by Voyager and Galileo.\nEuropa’s surface is young and geologically active, displaying a wide variety of landforms including ridges, troughs, bands, lenticulae, and chaos terrain. Of these, double ridges are the most common, consisting of quasi-symmetric ridge pairs flanking a medial trough, with height to peak-to-peak distance ratios <0.5817. These ridges may extend for hundreds of kilometers and include some of the oldest features visible on the surface, with frequent cross-cutting implying numerous formation cycles over Europa’s history. Cycloidal ridges and ridge complexes share many of these characteristics and along-strike transitions between ridge morphologies are not uncommon, suggesting that a single process may be active in the formation of all ridge types. Proposed formation mechanisms for double ridges fall into six categories: cryovolcanism, tidal squeezing, diapirism, compression, dike intrusion or ice wedging, and shear heating. All of these mechanisms require ice-shell fracture and, with the exception of compression and diapirism, all invoke near-surface ice-water interactions, either through internal melting or direct injection from the subsurface ocean.\nMore recently, a number of extensions to the explosive cryovolcanism hypothesis have been proposed, in part to address the difficulty of driving negatively buoyant ocean water directly to the surface. These models suggest that double ridges may instead form above shallow, crystallizing water bodies, such as sills or dikes, within the ice shell, rather than by direct connection to the subsurface ocean. Such mechanisms are more consistent with morphometric analyses that both disfavor compressional formation models and support the presence of subsurface water reservoirs beneath ridges. These models have much in common with formation mechanisms for lenticulae, chaos, and cratered terrain that invoke the emplacement and refreezing of shallow water bodies to explain the observed doming, surface disruption, or collapse. This growing body of work suggests that shallow water may be critical, not only to double ridge formation, but also to Europan ice-shell dynamics, exchange, and ultimately habitability.\nAnalogs for double ridges or confined shallow water bodies from the terrestrial cryosphere could place powerful constraints on this hypothesis space for Europa. Sea-ice pressure ridges and some ice rise divides bear a qualitative resemblance to Europa’s double ridges, but the pressure ridge analog assumes a very thin ice shell and ice divides express a flow regime entirely dissimilar to the Europan environment. Similarly, subglacial volcanic craters and ice shelf brine infiltration have been invoked as analogs for pressurized ice-water interactions, but neither fully captures the physics of refreezing water bodies confined within an ice matrix.\nHere, we present an icy double ridge discovered on the Greenland Ice Sheet with the same gravity-scaled geometry as Europa’s double ridges. High-resolution ice penetrating radar observations reveal that this ridge is underlain by a shallow refreezing water sill and provide a direct window into the subsurface processes that drove its formation.", "domain": "geography"}

Here is a guide for choosing the right Galapagos cruise.\nThere are different types of Galapagos cruise boats that you need to choose from. Catamarans, sails boats, motorboats and monohull are the main boat types for Galapagos cruises. Catamarans have a smaller capacity of around 16 people hence providing flexibility and comfort and are excellent to those who are prone to sea sickness. Monohulls on the other hand are more safe, stronger and economical than the catamarans. Sailboats are very small enabling passengers to have an intimate experience and adventure more.\nBefore booking with a company for your Galapagos tour, it is wise to conduct a background search on them. For a more rewarding experience, make sure you are dealing with a reliable cruise company. It is advisable to book with companies that specialize in the Galapagos as they will have the expertise to plan your trip and ensure that you have an unforgettable experience. Each operator has its own rules that you familiarise with before choosing your cruise company.\nWhen choosing a Galapagos cruise for you, you need to decide on the length of trip. Some cruises can take 3 days while other can go for as long as 4 weeks depending on the policy of different companies. 4 to 5 day cruise is a good opportunity to visit the islands of Galapagos and do only a few of the main activities including hiking and swimming. A 7 to 8 Galapagos cruise has a higher price tag but is great opportunity to discover new things like visiting tourist sites, engage in a lot of activities and thoroughly enjoy the geographical areas of the different islands. However if you want to explore each of the major islands of Galapagos and have a more fulfilling experience, consider choosing a 15 day or more cruises.\nWhen deciding which Galapagos cruise to pick, find out which itinerary is on their list. Most of the 8 day and 15 day cruises follow itinerary that are controlled by the Galapagos National Park allowing you to visit various places. Although they have the same protocol, check the itineraries so you can decide if the cruise is suitable for you and your family and whether you can visit specific places on your wish list.\nDetermine how much you want to spend on the cruise so you can chose the right agency for your trip. There are different types of yachts to suit various budgets such as liveaboard cruises, budget yachts, first-class cruises, luxury cruise ship and many others.", "domain": "geography"}

These issues are called “philatelic novelties” and they cover all the stamps issued in the current year. There are two different ways to collect them, by country or by theme.\nNews by countryThe stamps are a reflection of the country of issue. Their observation provides us with data about their origin, the peculiarities of the country that issues them and many other aspects of interest. Collecting stamps from a given country helps us to learn more about its culture, history and events. A subscription to the philatelic world news allows us to receive all the stamps that a certain country (Spain, France, Vatican…) issues.\nThematic newsOn the other hand, the themes give the opportunity to know a lot of information about a specific content. It doesn’t matter if you are an architecture forum, you love mycology or you are passionate about cinema. Fauna, comics, Walt Disney… the thematic stamps open up a world full of knowledge. A subscription to philatelic thematic news gives you the opportunity to receive all the stamps of your favorite theme, regardless of the country that issues them. If, on the other hand, you are interested in a particular theme, but you only want stamps from certain countries, you can also request them.\nIf you want to know more about a country (Spain, Hungary, USA…etc.) or about a subject (Felines, Castles, Costumes…etc.) we give you the opportunity to do it through the philatelic world news, that month by month the different postal administrations around the world offer us. To get it, you only have to send us the form below and we will contact you. Tell us what you like and we will take care of the rest. Once agreed, you only have to make a payment of 50 ?, we will give order to the corresponding postal administrations and you will begin to receive your favorite stamps. Periodically we will send them to your home without any shipping costs and we will give you a direct debit receipt for the amount delivered. In the case of most countries and in the case of some subjects, you will also be able to receive, if you request it, the annual sheets to keep them. If at any time you do not wish to receive any more issues, just let us know one month in advance, as there may be “ready” stamps that the administration has not yet sent us. Once the subscription is cancelled, your initial deposit of 50 ? will be returned.\nPhilatelic collections are very varied, with different purposes, conservation methodologies and classification. It can be said that each personal collection has its own characteristics. However, the collections that participate in competitions organized by the different associations must comply with the regulations that classify them in well-defined areas.\nThis denomination defines a collection of stamps ordered by country and by historical period and, therefore, without a specific theme. In general, it is the initial form through which one approaches philately. Some collections may be specialized in elements such as indentations, color variations, watermarks and different types of printing, or in the variety and errors caused by the printing machine.\nThis is a collection of philatelic material (stamps, postcards, cancellations and others) that aims to illustrate the history of the mail. Due to the large amount of collectable material, collections generally specialize within precise limits of space and time, or by specific topic of interest (among which the most common are postal rates or different postal services, or military mail).\nIt is a collection formed by franked envelopes with stamps that carry a cancellation with the date of the day of issue. A widespread collection in the United States, the First Day Cover (FDC) collection has been gradually established in Italy after World War II. These envelopes can also be prepared with illustrations referring to the theme of the issue; in Italy, the oldest company is the “Venetia Club”, founded in 1948 , followed by Capitolium, Filagrano, Chimera, AICFDC, Roma and Rodia.\nL ‘ aerophilic or aerophilic, is in charge of collecting the philatelic material related to the air trips of the postal service. Airphilatelic collections can be further specialized, both by subject and by type of mailing material. In addition, the collection may also include material that is not strictly philatelic, such as cartoons, labels, posters, postcards.\nThe collection consists of stationery and postal documents in which the price of the mail is printed directly. It can be further specialized according to the categories of documents, such as postcards, postcards, aerograms, etc. In addition, the collected materials can be new and already used.\nThe collection aims to collect all the stamps representing a specific theme, which can be a character (e.g. Giuseppe Garibaldi) or a plant or an animal (e.g. orchids or butterflies), an object (e.g. the bicycle), a party (e.g. Christmas). Within the collection, the stamps are ordered in series and divided by country and year of issue.\nThe collection covers all philatelic documents and materials related to a subject. The themes that can be developed are the most varied, ranging from music to history, from sports to technology, from nature to art, according to the interest of the collector. The theme is developed according to a well-defined program, reported in an introduction with index, and the collected material should be ordered in such a way that it allows an organic development of the chosen theme.\nThematic collections have been developed since the late 1940s. Their international codification took place in 1958, with the presentation of the first competition of thematic classes regulated by the IFJ. They are mainly found in North America and in North and Eastern Europe.\nThis definition includes collections in which philatelic material is accompanied by other objects (but to a lesser extent than 50% of the total), such as telephone cards , postcards, stickers, photos, dry sheets, newspaper clippings, and anything else that can be pasted. a sheet The theme and development methods are free.\nThe collection consists of philatelic materials related to space travel, space research and the precursors of these, such as rockets and balloons. The collection can be divided into different themes: the pioneer era, rocket mail, special programs (USA, USSR, Europe), possibly with or without men on board. In addition, the collection may also include material that is not strictly philatelic.\nThe collection consists of a maximum number of cards that meet the requirements, in terms of the card itself, the postage stamp, which must have been placed on the front and not on the back, and its cancellation. Of particular interest is the presence of the same theme, or related themes, on all three elements. The collection can be organized by theme or country.\nThe collection of state or local (municipal and regional) tax stamps. Tax collection is numerous and aesthetically interesting, also recently the result of in-depth studies and evaluations. The marks, especially, have all the characteristics of the stamps, including the various types of watermarks .\nFor some time now in the United States, the Scott Catalog has been reporting U.S. tax rates through the 1950s in a comprehensive catalog. In Italy, both the Sassone Catalog and the Unified Catalog have reported taxes used by mail, but recently special catalogs have been created for all brands and taxes.\nVarious uses and types of taxes make this collection a kind of curiosity of mine.\nThe collection refers to cancellations or other signs attached to postal documents. Generally, signs placed on the stamp are collected by geographic area, by subject, or by function.\nRed mechanical postage, commonly called in postal documents, has been used to replace postage stamps since the early 20th century by post offices themselves, or by companies and organizations. They consist of a print with the value, another with the place and date and a possible advertising plate, all printed with the characteristic color red. Generally, the collection can be specialized by place or date of issue, by theme (e.g., bank postage), by subject of drawings (state symbols, coats of arms, industrial products), by technical characteristics (presence of cancellations in terms of postage stamps, different types or different forms of use).\nMilitary mail is the postal service that benefits military personnel working outside the national area in both peacetime and wartime; mobile post offices are assigned to departments and postage has special rates or exemptions from regular rates. For military prisoners of war, there are postcards delivered by the Red Cross, which refer not to the unit to which they belong but to the detention camp. Normally the object of interest for collection is not the postage stamp used for mailing, since it belongs to the series usually used, but the complete letter.\nChristmas stamps, or Christmarks, are special adhesive labels that are placed on envelopes during the Christmas period to raise funds and spread awareness of TB research.\nIn 1904, Einar Holboell, an official at the Danish Post Office, developed the idea of adding a postage stamp to envelopes during the Christmas season to raise funds for tuberculosis. The idea was approved by the post office and the King of Denmark, and the first stamp had the effigy of the Queen and the words “Merry Christmas. More than four million were sold the first year.\nThey were introduced to the United States by Emily Bissell in 1907, after reading news of the project in an article by Jacob Riis, a Danish journalist and photographer. Bissell hoped to raise money for a sanitarium on the Brandywine River in Delaware.\nOver time, the initiative grew into a national program of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis (NASPT) and the Red Cross in 1908. The stamp was sold at post offices, initially in Delaware, for 1 cent each. The net income was divided equally between the two associations. In 1920, the Red Cross withdrew from the project and sales were made exclusively by NASPT, then known as the National Tuberculosis Association (NTA). The NTA took its current name as the American Lung Association in 1973.\nToday, the Christmas stamp supports the American Lung Association and other lung-related projects. Tuberculosis has gradually declined, but has recently begun to spread again (tuberculosis remains the most common serious infectious disease).\nIn Italy, this use has spread since the 1920s, thanks to the Red Cross and other charities. However, the use of Christmas letter closures has spread mainly in English-speaking countries, particularly in Great Britain , Australia , South Africa and New Zealand , as well as in many states in the USA .\nHowever, these types of stamps should not be considered official and are not valid as postage. The postal uses of these erinophiles should be considered fraud if they are not accompanied by a regular postal delivery. They are often stamped because they are placed near the stamps, and these specimens have some interest, especially if they are stamped with a non-philatelic hand stamp. However, their potential value may not be particularly noticeable, except in the case of mail fraud.\nMany states issue Christmas postage stamps, particularly Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, also combined in Christmas brochures or leaflets that are widely used during the vacations. The Nordic countries accompany classic themes like Santa Claus or the Christmas tree with Nordic symbols, snowy landscapes, small animals. Even the Soviet Union in the 1980s started to make specific Christmas stamps and finally the Asian countries are also slowly considering some theme related to Western Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations and traditions. There is a large production of postage stamps which by now is a splendid subject that concerns hundreds and hundreds of copies from all over the world.\nA little bit of curiosity, in the 80’s Great Britain issued some Christmas stamps with the blue stars printed on the front, contained in brochures. They are a type of their own in the English collection and are hardly an achievement repeated in other countries.\nOn April 27, 1859, the President of the Granada Confederation, Mariano Ospina Rodríguez, signed the Organic Law of the National Post Office that reorganized this service and established the use of stamps as of September 1, 1859, when the first issue circulated, with 5 values and a total of 258,465 stamps valid for circulation until August 31, 1860.\nThis same law, in article 23, established the services of a P.O. Box and a Mailman at a monthly cost of $1.00 and $0.80 respectively. At that time, correspondence was not delivered to the home but had to be claimed by the interested parties at the post office. As shown in the following images, these services substantially reduced their cost in the 1860/70 decade to $ 1.20 quarterly and $ 0.40 monthly, respectively.\nIn each of the issues of 1866/68 and 1868/1872 there was a 2.5c. triangular stamp that served to pay the home delivery service of the letters. In 1917 a stamp with a value of 5c. was issued, whose motive was a child letter carrier and served for urgent home deliveries. This stamp, which was issued in only 72,000 copies, was rarely used.\nOn July 18, 1861, with the capture of Bogotá by General Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera, four times President, the civil and military chiefs signed a union pact and declared the formation of the United States of New Granada. With this name a series of 5 values circulated with a total of 52,380 stamps.\nThe Rionegro Convention officially declared the creation of the United States of Colombia (EUC) on February 3, 1863, a very innovative period in the provision of mail services and therefore of great philatelic wealth. The first United States of Colombia stamps are printed by contract on July 26, 1862, still technically under the United States administration of New Granada.\nOn July 1, 1865, large size (13 x 6.5 cm.) “Value Declared” or “cover” stamps, as they were also called, were given to the service and were the first five colored stamps in the world. They were used for sending values, up to $100, documents, coins and bills. They were not sold to the public and were placed on the back of envelopes once the office employee verified the contents. The receiving office had to return them, duly signed by the recipient as proof of receipt. They were in use until 1912 and in 1924 they were replaced with the “Declared Value Envelopes” used until 1967, when the last design was launched.\nAlso in 1865 the “Recommended” service was started with the issue of two “A” and “R” stamps, for the “Annotation” and “Registration” service. Annotation consisted in writing down the receipt of the letter in the post office books, and the Registry a commitment of the mail to maintain a supervision during the whole journey. A “registered” letter had to be stamped with a “notation” stamp, not the other way around. With UPU admission, the notation service is eliminated and only the “Recommended” stamp is required. These were issued until 1925, when the stamp was replaced by the official UPU label indicating that the letter was “recommended”.\nAt the beginning of 1881 the whole EUC postcards came out to the public and were quickly, in July 1881, relegated to national service only and replaced by the UPU card which could be used at home and abroad. Its design changed over the years and the last issue was in 1903. It is worth mentioning the cards of Ernesto Pehlke from 1899, who with government authorization engraved ten striking tourist motifs in color.\nIn July of the same year, the country commemorated the adhesion to the UPU with an issue of five values, which simplified the handling of foreign correspondence and implied national rates according to the determinations of this organism.\nBefore this adhesion, the stamps called “Sobreporte” or “maritime mail” had to be used, since this was the only means of transport abroad. From that moment on they were not necessary for this purpose and their use was authorized for internal mail.\nThe EUC Constitution allowed sovereign states to have their own postal service to serve those routes not covered by the national post office and they were authorized to issue their own stamps, if required. This privilege continued with the Republic of Colombia, now called departments. In 1863 Bolivar was the first to issue stamps, the smallest in the world, followed by Antioquia (1868), Cundinamarca (1870), Tolima (1871), Panama (1878), Cauca (1879), Santander (1884) and finally Boyacá (1899). The use of departmental stamps ceased in 1909.\nIn 1878 in the Sovereign State of Cauca, province of Chocó, Prefect Demetrio Toral requested the State Secretary of Finance to issue a stamp to carry the mail between Quibdó, capital of the province, and the city of Riosucio, seat of the provincial courts. The request was approved and Toral used an old stamp from the provinces of the Republic of New Granada to print these stamps, called “Camisa del Cauca”. This is perhaps the most controversial stamp that exists and because of the small quantity issued (100 copies) and the poor survival due to the humidity and heat of the area, it is one of the most valuable in Colombia. In this same vein, in 1883/85, the then Prefect of Chocó, Salomón Posso, issued stamps using the monogram of his initials. These are of three types. No value, with a value of 5 cents and no value framed in pencil. It is also likely that the same Posso issued a stamp in 1890 called “mail to Carmen”, which Posso signed the act granting the title of municipality to Carmen de Atrato.\nDuring the existence of the EUC were issued 15 sets of stamps. The last issue, in 1882, used for the first time the perforation in the sheets to separate the stamps.\nOn August 5, 1886 a new Constitution was adopted that lasted until 1991, and changed the name of the country to Republic of Colombia, the name it currently holds. In order to exhaust stocks, the use of stamps with the name EUC was allowed until July 31, 1889. As a result of the change of name, stamps were issued to cover the needs until 1890. Given the multiple impressions, an infinite variety of paper and tonalities are produced. Also this year a stamp was issued to cover the penalty (2.5c.) to ensure the dispatch of letters that were delivered outside the hours of reception, called “Delay”. This service lasted until 1914.\nThe most curious thing about this issue is that it breaks the custom of honoring only deceased persons and includes a 10c. stamp with the image of Rafael Núñez, four times President, a true example of presidential egocentricity or flattery of the postal administration? A similar case is the stamps issued with the portrait of President José Manuel Marroquín in 1904. I must mention a beautiful stamp issued in 1959 to honor in life a deserving person, Luz Marina Zuluaga, who won the title of Miss Universe for Colombia. Only 20,000 copies of the $5 stamp were issued, making it very scarce and sought after by philatelists.\nIn 1889 the city of Bogota issued a 1/2c. stamp to collect local mail deliveries. Medellín, Manizales and Palmira also issue Urban Mail stamps.\nWhen the postal species of the EUC were demonetized on July 31, 1889, a large inventory was left that was to be incinerated in Bogotá. Faced with this situation Gustavo Michelsen Uribe proposed to the government the purchase of this material, and contrary to the law, they sold him 222,380 postal species for a value of $ 1,230. Not content with this enormous loot, Michelsen in complicity with employees of the post office administration, obtained the original stones of several issues from 1868 and in an obscure manner negotiated with the original printer Demetrio Paredes, the printing of these stamps in enormous quantities. Because of his international recognition as a diplomat and philatelist, Michelsen sells a huge amount of his fakes, causing great damage to Colombian philately once his fraud is discovered. Even today, Michelsen’s forged copies are offered.\nThe issues are spaced in time: 1890, 1895 and 1899. Interesting during this period was the printing of whole postal envelopes of Correo Fluvial and Correo Férreo, to circulate correspondence by these means of transport. Telegraph cards were also issued to serve as payment receipts and to claim in case the telegrams did not arrive within the promised time.\nIn 1893 a new service was inaugurated, Acknowledgement or Acknowledgement of Receipt, by which the post office was obliged to return a document duly signed by the addressee. A stamp was issued with the letters AR in the center and with a value of 5c. The last stamps issued for this service were in 1917.\nOn October 17, 1899, the Thousand Days War broke out, which ended on November 21, 1902. This contest was chaotic for the country but a bonanza for Colombian philately. Resolution 456 of October 24, 1899, suspended service on the routes affected by the conflict and required the delivery of open letters to be censored.\nThe liberal rebels cut communication routes between Bogotá and the provinces, making it impossible to supply postal species to Antioquia, Cauca and the Caribbean coast. Faced with this situation, the government authorized the issue and local printing of stamps in Medellín, Popayán, Barranquilla and Crtagena, in addition to those printed in Bogotá.\nFor their part, the rebels issued stamps in Cúcuta and Tumaco.\nDuring the conflict, with the excuse of not having stamps, some postal agents printed labels to be used as stamps, mainly in Tumaco and Cauca. The illegality of this action in Tumaco is not in doubt, but the letters circulated without any problem in UPU countries. The correct procedure was to place on the envelope the notation “no stamps. He paid … cents” and the signature of the postal agent.\nAt the end of the war the country was bankrupt and could not invest in printing new stamps, so it decided to continue using locally printed stamps. Curiously, and perhaps due to lack of funds, he authorizes the use of the stamps issued by the rebel government in Cúcuta.\nThe monetary situation reached such a disaster that on October 1, 1903, by means of Law 33, the government created the Peso Oro with a conversion of 100 “old pesos” for one gold peso. By decree 1197 of December 15, 1903, it authorized the carrying of postage stamps denominated in old pesos at the same exchange rate as bills, starting January 2, 1904. This generated the first “inflation envelopes” in the world, pieces very appreciated for their rarity and scarcity. It is estimated that some 200 have survived.\nIn 1904, stamps denominated in gold pesos were issued on thin paper, which were used at the same time as the old peso stamps. Curiously, there is no mention that they are in gold weights. An oversight?\nIn 1910, to commemorate the centenary of independence, a series of eight securities was issued and printed abroad for the first time by the American Bank Note Co. of New York, which was put into circulation on July 20. Interestingly, the stamp of Recommended, whose motif is “the Cartagena firing squad by order of the Spanish Government” was removed 17 days later and later incinerated by the protest of the Spanish Government. Due to their short life of circulation they are very difficult to find in envelopes.\nForeign printers are hired for the following issues. Due to the logistical problems caused by the First World War and in order to solve the lack of stamps, local printing is again used at the National Printing House and several “provisional” issues are made until 1926.\nIn 1919, two national aviation companies were created, the Compañía Colombiana de Navegación Aérea (CCNA) in Medellín (September 16) and the Sociedad Colombo-Alemana de Transportes Aéreos (SCADTA), in Barranquilla (December 5). With this event, Colombian air mail was initiated on February 22, 1920 by CCNA and in September of the same year by SCADTA. Each society is authorized to issue its own stamps to cover the cost of its postage, but all correspondence must also bear the corresponding national postage stamps.\nCCNA had a short life while SCADTA lasted until 1939 when it merged with Pan American and formed the society Aerolíneas de Colombia AVIANCA. SACO (1933-1935), TACA (1944-1947), LANSA (1945-1951) and TAXADER (1948-1965) were involved in the transport of mail by air but had a short life and were absorbed by SCADTA or AVIANCA.\nDecree 192 of February 2, 1926, authorizes the ground transportation of mail by private companies other than SCADTA, through a surcharge and the use of their own stamps. The permission to use one’s own stamps was revoked as of October 1933. There were some 64 companies that offered the service, but few printed their own stamps. The main ones were the Land Transport Company, the Ribon Express and the Tobon Express.\nCOSADA is an example of cooperation between the public and private sectors. Founded in Bucaramanga on March 5, 1923, by SCADTA and the department of Santander. Its objective was to connect by air to Bucaramanga with Puerto Wilches and from there connect to the SCADTA system. To handle the correspondence from the cities and towns of Santander and Norte de Santander each department formed a company, Correo Rápido de Santander and Correo Rápido de Norte de Santander respectively, which carried the correspondence to the COSADA offices in Bucaramanga. COSADA was liquidated on July 29, 1930.\nUntil 1959 different stamps were required for letters going through the National Post Office and those going through air mail. From this year onwards these two types of services were unified and the stamps served to pay for both.\nIn 1937, the Government introduced the use of specially resealed stamps with the word OFFICIAL to be used by government entities.\nSince the fifties and until today the production of Colombian stamps has been a parade of beautiful pieces, in quantity of topics like anniversaries of historical events, historical and current personages, autochthonous mythology, archaeological patrimony, nature, fauna, cartography, transport, architecture, landscapes, art, customs festivities, communications, post office, religion, civility, etc., that have served to make known our beautiful country and to enlarge our philately.", "domain": "geography"}

We know because we work with off-island investors regularly. Based on their questions, we have developed some basic information that we hope will help you with your property research.\nThe Big Island has strict height limitations for both commercial and residential buildings. This means that you will find no 30 story high rises here. In fact, most buildings are limited to two or three stories, depending on zoning. The reason for the County’s low-rise standard is that it helps to preserve the island’s spectacular views for the whole community and reflects the relaxed “outer island” life style which is highly valued by residents.\nThe result is that most commercial buildings, though low profile, are spread over a sizeable area to achieve the critical mass needed for reasonable investment returns, usually as several detached buildings within the complex.\nThis is feasible on the Big Island because it is geographically larger than all of the other Hawaiian islands combined. In fact, the Big Island is roughly the size of Connecticut and has a current population of approximate 165,000 full-time residents plus a fluctuating number of tourists and part-time residents.\nIf you keep these things in mind as you look at the various properties available, it may help you evaluate your options realistically based on community standards.\nAnd, of course, please contact us directly if you have questions or if we can help you further.", "domain": "geography"}

Check plumbing, electrical, and appliances, and note any damages. Don’t be shy—ask questions to clarify doubts about the unit or the lease terms and conditions.\nTip 4: Get the Rental Application Right\nFound something you like? Gather all the necessary documents, such as ID, employment verification, references, and proof of income. Be quick on your feet because popular rentals go fast. You may also write a cover letter explaining why you’d be a great tenant.\nTip 5: Dive Deep Into the Lease Agreement\nBefore you commit:\n- Read the lease agreement carefully.\n- Ensure you understand everything, like the lease term, when to pay rent and your rights and responsibilities as a tenant under BC’s Residential Tenancy Act.\n- If unsure, consult a lawyer or a tenant rights organization for clarification.\nTip 6: Lock Down Your Dream Rental\nCongratulations! You found your dream rental home in BC. Now it’s time to seal the deal. Discuss any concerns or modifications to the rental agreement with the landlord before signing and finalizing the lease. Sort out the security deposit and first month’s rent. Protect your belongings by obtaining renter’s insurance coverage.\nTip 7: Take Care of Your Place\nThis is the most important tip of all!\nOnce you move in, it’s important to maintain a good relationship with your landlord. Treat the place respectfully, follow the rules, and promptly report any maintenance issues. Keep the lines of communication open for a smooth and enjoyable renting experience. Remember – a good track record is vital to being a desirable tenant for future landlords.\nRinse and Repeat…\nIn May, the average rent for purpose-built and condo apartments in Vancouver reached $3,137, The average rent across the province touched $2,468.\nRental prices in BC and Canada have seen a general upward trend, and Vancouver stands out as the most expensive city in Canada. However, other BC cities such as Victoria, Abbotsford and Surrey offer a range of amenities that can match the Vancouver experience.\nWhile rent increases in BC have started to moderate, the growing population contributes to increased rental housing demand. The recent rise in housing prices and interest rates has made homeownership less affordable, prompting more Canadians to seek rental accommodations. These factors suggest that the rental market in British Columbia will experience ongoing challenges, and rents are expected to remain high.\nThere is no denying that renting your dream home in BC requires careful planning, research, and attention to detail. Follow the tips outlined in this comprehensive guide to increase your chances of finding and securing the perfect home for your needs. Remember, patience and persistence are key, and with the right approach, you can make renting in BC a rewarding and enjoyable experience.\nAs always, Save Max suggests consulting with our experienced Vancouver Realtors for advice on navigating the tricky housing market in British Columbia.", "domain": "geography"}

Crossing the drawbridge I take notice of the harbor with its\nblanket of thick fog. The hurricane barrier gate out to Buzzards Bay is not visible. Fog\nenveloped houses greet me as I turn off Route 6 and head down Main Street. Soon all ends\nare finalized and I head for the boat –– must remember everything. Warm clothes are very\nimportant, regardless of the date. Water temperature is still in the low to mid fifties.\nAnd the temperature gradient between land and sea is about twenty degrees. Must pack warmly\njust in case. Anyhow, the idea is to sail over to Cotuit on Cape Cod via Woods Hole, best\ntide and favorable current midday. Four hours sailing to Woods Hole.\n–– Set sail!\nIn fog, we set sail at 850 hours. The water is fairly calm, small waves, light south,\nsouthwestern breeze. The fog is denser, as we leave the harbor. The harbor entrance, along\nwith the seawall and the entire coastline, quickly fade out of sight. Only fog surrounds us.\nPatches of even denser fog stream by. Foghorn in constant use. Everybody remains watchful,\ncan’t miss any boats, must stay vigilant at all times. Fishing vessels appear just as quickly\nas they disappear. An hour into the trip, heading 110° to Woods Hole; in the fog.\nAt some point, the sun tries to break through. The forecast is for conditions to improve. My\nfirst encounter with the fog leaves me straining my eyes, using binoculars, constantly\nobserving the perimeter, the invisible horizon. Some stretches are mightily dense; the foghorn\nsounds at short intervals. A silhouette of a trawler creeps stealthily out like a ghost,\nfigures visible on deck wave – almost undetected it sails across the sixty or so yards of\nvisibility and, without a trace, disappears back into the fog. All fog yet again. That same\nwhite view all around. Eyes constantly watchful, ears alert.\n|Buzzards Bay and Nantucket Sound\n–– Woods Hole\nAt the channel entrance, the fog starts to dissolve and a few masts become visible. The outline\nof the shore and a line of trees slowly come into focus, then the contours of the beach.\nMomentarily, the red and green buoy serrated channel looms ahead. Suddenly, it is clear.\nThe sun is out. On both sides, sharp details of the coastline are now visible. Just above the\nsandy beaches, amongst the trees a few big houses are perched up on the bluff. Now clearly\nvisible is the caravan of sailboats heading for Nantucket Sound. The current in the channel\nis still strong, not entirely slack time yet. In an hour or so, we cross the channel without\nany incidents, and soon fade back into the fog.\n–– Nantucket Sound\nFog. Less fog. No fog. Shoreline clearly visible. Heading for Cotuit Bay.\nMay 28, 2011\nDay of the Race\n–– Morning at Cotuit Bay\nThe morning comes with thick fog yet again. It is heavy and hangs low, surrounding us. We dress,\nchange the jib to Genoa jib, drink coffee, have a bite to eat, and soon after push off into\nfoggy Cotuit Bay. Start time 1000 hours. Bite –– the slowest boat in the class. Let’s hope\nwe make the course in time, get in a good sail, and complete it.\n|Figawi - The Competition\n-At Cotuit Bay get lost in the fog,\n-run aground, managed to get off,\n-once again foghorn in constant use.\n-The race is three hours delayed,\n-we have an incredible start!\n-Run first to the 17th buoy,\n-run out of wind and withdraw.\n-No winners in our class,\n-not many finishers in general.\n-At the docks about two hundred and fifty sailboats,\n-the party is alive, smiling faces in the street.\n-It would not let up for the next two nights.\nMay 29, 2011\nDay on the Island\n|Foggy Nantucket Harbor Morning\n–– Nantucket Island\nThe morning is quiet and the docks are empty. The revelry is in respite. We awake early and\nbreakfast at the Fog Island Café. Later rent bikes and explore the island. The sky is clear\nand the sun is out. We walk the cobbled streets full of restaurants and gift-shops, past old\nVictorian houses embowered by tall trees, and once on smooth pavement make time. The countryside\nis idyllic with rolling fields of low shrubbery, indigenous pine trees, and wooden summer\ncottages. We ride about twelve miles to Madaket beach, western shore of the island. Here\nenjoy the sandy beach and watch the fog roll back in off the ocean. After a short rest, we\npedal back to town, which by now is alive yet again.\nBack on the boat, we sit back and have a few drinks. The fog has crossed the island by now\nand is slowly tumbling over full-leafed trees and slanted rooftops. The last rays of the\norange sun disappear leaving no trace.\n–– At the docks\nThe atmosphere here is alive. People pull notes on the other side of the dock. A Jolly Roger\nhalfway up a backstay flies stiff in the breeze. It is that kind of a vibe. Noisy, rowdy crowds\nheard all around. The commotion permeates the docks, the streets, the ice-cubes are melting,\nthe party is on.\nMay 30, 2011\nIn the morning, there is a stiff South-Southwest breeze. The docks are quiet compared to\nthe last two days, only rigging and flags make a pleasant, harmonious sound. There are a\nfew patches of fog. The temperature is climbing. It is difficult to say what awaits us out\non the water. Soon everything on deck is set and we are ready to head out. Boat after boat,\nthe docks empty. Shortly, we are in the channel heading for the start line. Only two classes\nfinished Saturday, so today's race counts. The start…not so good…we are the last boat in the\npack. The boats in front are off and running, many with spinnakers on a downwind leg. About\nsix miles to the first mark. At first, we hesitate, but after a short discussion, we decide\nto hoist the big drifter sail. With the bigger sail to maximize the wind –– our speed increases\nto seven knots. By the first marking, we have caught up and pass two boats. At the first tack,\nthe fog returns. In the thickening vapors, we are close-hauled into the\n|Martynas and Louisa at the Helm\nteeth of the wind, still making about six knots. Fog all around, hard to make out any boats.\nHere, due to poor visibility, navigational skills are key, must rely on the GPS. In four\ntacks, we reach the mark. We ease and heading on a close reach, stream toward the finish line.\nAbout a mile and a half to go. The fog is even denser, precise navigation is paramount to a\ngood finish here. Finally, we spot the buoy and the committee boat marking the line. The gun\ngoes off as we cross. We exclaim, high fives, we have completed the course.\nLater we found out we had come in first in our class.", "domain": "geography"}

This visit will also highlight the importance of Chabahar as a gateway for Indian trade with Europe, Russia and CIS [Commonwealth of Independent States] countries.\nWhat is India’s strategic vision for Chabahar?\n• When the first agreement for Chabahar was signed by then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2003, the plan had a three-fold objective:\no to build India’s first offshore port and to project Indian infrastructure prowess in the Gulf;\no to circumvent trade through Pakistan, given the tense ties with India’s neighbour and build a long term, sustainable sea trade route;\no to find an alternative land route to Afghanistan, which India had rebuilt ties with after the defeat of the Taliban in 2001.\n• Subsequently, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s government constructed the Zaranj -Delaram Highway in Afghanistan’s South, which would help connect the trade route from the border of Iran to the main trade routes to Herat and Kabul, handing it over to the Karzai government in 2009.\n• In 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi travelled to Tehran and signed the agreement to develop Chabahar port, as well as the trilateral agreement for trade through Chabahar with Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani.\n• In the last few years, a fourth strategic objective for the Chabahar route has appeared, with China’s Belt and Road Initiative making inroads in the region.\n• The government hopes to provide Central Asia with an alternate route to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) through Iran for future trade.\nLinking with International North South Trade Corridor (INSTC)\n• Speaking a few days earlier on the occasion of a “Chabahar Day” function in Mumbai, Union minister for ports said that it is India’s vision to make the Shahid Beheshti port a “a transit hub” and link it to the International North South Trade Corridor (INSTC), that also connects to Russia and Europe.\nWhy is the Chabahar dream taking so long to realise?\n• Iran’s relationship with western countries: Since the beginning, the development of the Shahid Beheshti terminal in Chabahar as well as surrounding infrastructure has hit geopolitical road-block after road-block; the biggest issue has been over Iran’s relationship with western countries, especially the United States.\n• US sanctions on Iran: In years when western sanctions against Iran increased, the Chabahar project has been put on the back-burner.\n• Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA): While in the years when nuclear talks that resulted in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2015 came into being, the Chabahar port has been easier to work on.\no In 2018, the U.S. Trump administration put paid to India’s plans by walking out of the JCPOA and slapping new sanctions on dealing with Iran. This led to the Modi government “zeroing out” all its oil imports from Iran, earlier a major supplier to India, causing a strain in ties.\no Despite the fact that the U.S. made a special “carve-out” on sanctions for Chabahar, on the ground, it has been difficult to source equipment for the port construction from infrastructure companies that continue to fear secondary sanctions, as well as to engage shipping and insurance companies for trade through Chabahar.\n• The Taliban’s capturing the power: The government also snapped ties with Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover in August 2021, which put an end to the humanitarian aid of wheat and pulses that was being sent to Kabul via Chabahar. When India restarted wheat aid to Afghanistan this year, it negotiated with Pakistan to use the land route instead.\nWith the government now reopening the Indian Embassy in Kabul, and establishing ties with the Taliban government, it is possible that the Chabahar route will once again be employed, another reason for the recent flurry of activity at the Iranian port terminal that India has pinned so many hopes on.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]", "domain": "geography"}

As the brand expanded the search began for honest, small-scale production, sustainable fibers and artisan craftsmanship. This led to the exploration of the rugged landscapes of the Peruvian Andes, known for their high quality fibers and talented artisans.\nAfter weeks spent working with local producers in remote regions, the production finally found its home in Ayacucho, a tiny Peruvian town tucked in the south central Andes.\nToday, each Bare Knitwear garment is still brought to life by hand through a collaborative development process merging the ancient heritage of Peruvian techniques with modern design. The brand continues to work with small producers throughout Peru for the sourcing of their signature alpaca, wool and Pima cotton collections.\nThe proudest achievement of all is the personal relationships the brand has forged with their partners who employ and empower local Peruvian artisans. Over time Bare has witnessed the difference quality employment can bring to a community, providing sustainable employment for local artisans and the opportunity for them to have true autonomy over their future.\nThe wool used by Bare Knitwear has a free of mulesing certification and their suppliers hold the RAS (Responsible Alpaca Standard) and RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certificate.\nWhere possible, they choose to work with un-dyed, natural materials. When dyes are used they use low-impact, OEKO-TEX certified dyes that are heavy metal and azo-free, ensuring consumer and environmental safety.", "domain": "geography"}

There is currently a lot of contradictory information on the Internet as to whether or not a couple can obtain their License to Marry in the State of Florida without having to appear in person before the Clerk of Court. Some websites say you can while others say you cannot. Surprisingly, there are even some Clerks of Court in the State of Florida who are unfamiliar with the Statutes.\nSimply put, there is a provision in the Florida Statutes for obtaining your Marriage License by mail in advance of your arrival but there are several special conditions that must be met beforehand. The process for obtaining your license in this manner is referred to as a \"Plea In Absentia\". It is a little-known provision in the Statutes designed to assist those brides and grooms with special circumstances.\nGenerally speaking, the following conditions must be met:\nThe Marriage License is valid for 60 days from the date it has been issued. The date of issue counts as the first day so care should be taken to ensure the couple allows a few extra \"slack days\" on the back-end of the valid period for the license in the event of travel delays or last minute changes to their wedding date. If the license expires prior to the wedding ceremony a new one must be obtained before the officiant can legally sanction the union of the couple.\nCurrently, there are only two County Clerks of Court in the State of Florida that allow for Plea in Absentia filings as they pertain to Marriage Licenses. Fortunately, however, a Marriage License issued by any County Clerk of Court within Florida is valid in any other county. For example, you may use a courthouse in Central Florida for your Plea in Absentia filing and still get married in the Florida Keys, Miami, Panama City Beach, or elsewhere within the State.\nWe hope this article helps to clear up any confusion on this issue. For further study, we would recommend a review of the Florida Statutes, section 741. We wish you the best for your visit to the Sunshine State and for your upcoming wedding.", "domain": "geography"}

This equated to a 10% rise - the fastest rate of growth since 2007 - bringing the average UK home cost up to £255,000. In the North West of England, however, house prices have instead increased by 15.2% year on year, with the North East close behind with a rise of 12%. Here Kate Patrick, Head of Estate Agency for H&H Land & Estates evaluates potential reasons why.\n“The surge in both prices and demand within the North’s property market can be attributed to a number of likely factors, many of which are linked to the pandemic. Many people came to re-evaluate lifestyle choices while working from home and for a huge number, priorities significantly changed. Many found themselves wanting more space, both inside and out, while others chose to swap urban living altogether in favour of a more rural lifestyle. The North is a highly desirable location for people looking for peace, privacy and beautiful surrounding scenery, offering many buyers the chance for a new way of life.\n“Stamp duty holidays offered by the government also drove sales, with many people seeking to capitalise on the saving and complete at the start of this year ahead of the scheme winding down. When demand for houses began to outstrip those up for sale, prices climbed and competition in the housing market grew.\n“Property prices in our area still continue to rise, and demand to buy property remains very high. With fewer properties coming to the market, we are seeing viewings on certain houses doubling and sometimes tripling as a result. This is obviously leading to offers over the initial asking price. In terms of how this trend is impacting buyers and sellers alike, some potential buyers are missing out on the house of their dreams as they are not in a position to proceed. Buyers with a complete chain or cash/mortgage purchasers are instead snapping up property.\n“I would encourage anyone looking to sell to call us to arrange a market appraisal as we have a significant number of buyers waiting for property to come to the market. There are pockets of the market where we are seeing price sensitivity as the incentive to buy up to £500,000 before June 2021 has come to an end.\n“H&H Land & Estates use all the comparable evidence available to us to provide all our customers with the most up to date valuation, especially in these fast-moving times. Our experienced team have a specialist, in-depth understanding of our region and would be happy to assist you, whether you are a buyer, seller or are keen to know more about the thriving property scene across both the North East and the North West.”\nH&H Land & Estates have a reputation as one of the leading independent rural property advisory firms operating across the North of England and the Scottish Borders, with a well-established client base across offices in Carlisle, Penrith, Kendal, Keswick, Durham and Cockermouth", "domain": "geography"}

In fact, an average of once every 18 months, a total solar eclipse is visible from some place on the Earth’s surface. What makes this rare for humans is that these usually occur over water or in sparsely populated areas. Consider this – the last time a total solar eclipse impacted the lower 48 states was in 1979 and another one will not have such visibility across the U.S. until 2045. This one is very special because it’s the first time in American history one will be visible across a 70-mile wide swath from coast to coast. NASA estimates 500 million people will be able to see this eclipse, either partially or in totality: 391 million in the U.S., 35 million in Canada, and 119 million in Mexico.\nWhat is a Total Solar Eclipse?\nA total solar eclipse occurs during the phase called a New Moon; the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth, but this only happens when the moon is at its closest position to the Earth. Although the moon orbits the Earth about once every month, it’s orbit is tilted at about 5 degrees from the Sun-Earth orbital plane and elliptical, so the moon rarely casts a shadow on the Earth’s surface. Normally, the bright yellow surface of the sun (photosphere) is all we see. When the moon blocks out this intense light, this enables observation of the much dimmer solar atmosphere (corona), which appears as a pearly-white halo. This is a beautiful sight to see, but be careful as explained later.\nA solar eclipse as it travels across Earth’s surface can last as long as 3 hours in partiality, however, the longest period the moon will completely block the sun at any given location will be about 2 minutes, 40 seconds. Against one’s intuition whereas the sun and moon rise in the east and set in the west, the shadow cast by a solar eclipse moves from west to east. The first landfall of the eclipse in the USA will be Lincoln Beach, Oregon starting at 9:05 a.m. PST, with totality starting at 10:15 a.m. During the next hour and a half, the path of totality will cross through Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and North and South Carolina. The total eclipse across the USA will end near Charleston, South Carolina at 2:45 p.m. EST.\nProtecting Your Sight\nPerhaps you remember your parents or teachers warning you to never look directly at the sun. Some people are under the misconception because most of the sun is blocked during a total eclipse, it is safe to look at it. That is absolutely false except for the few moments of totality. Looking at the Sun without protective solar eyeglasses can cause permanent damage to your sight. Because of the overall darkness, the pupils dilate which allows a great deal of powerful sunlight light to enter ones eyes. It only takes 30 to 60 seconds staring at an eclipse to cause retinal damage, called solar retinopathy. The retina absorbs the intense light from the Solar Corona thereby damaging cells. It is painless, so people may not realize they incurred damage until later on. Symptoms include loss of visual acuity (sharpness of vision), blind spots, changes in color vision, or distortion when looking at straight lines or grids.\nEclipse Sight-Saving Tips\n- Don’t wear ordinary sunglasses because even dark ones are not strong enough to protect your eyes.\n- Be aware of fakes – Amazon recently discovered unscrupulous dealers were selling unsafe solar eclipse glasses and they’re issuing refunds.\n- Only wear welding glasses if they are #14, which is much darker than an arc welder typically wears.\n- Don’t use solar filters that are scratched or damaged.\n- Don’t wear solar eyeglasses and look through a camera, telescope, or binoculars because this magnifies the rays and negates the glasses’ protection. However, you can use these instruments if they are equipped with special solar filters.\n- Do build your own pinhole box in a matter of minutes, which some eye experts say is safer than using solar eclipse glasses (and it’s a great kid-friendly activity!).\n- Do use specially designed solar eclipse glasses and viewers to block the sun’s harmful rays. To date, only four manufacturers sell eclipse glasses and handheld solar viewers that meet international safety standards:\nOf course, Mother Nature can ruin even the best laid plans. If it is completely overcast, the eclipse won’t be visible, but it will be eerily dark outside. So, by all means, if you are one of the 500 million people who is able to see this on August 21, go ahead and enjoy this rare event. Just be careful – and don’t look at the eclipse unless you follow the aforementioned precautions.", "domain": "geography"}

But we have plenty of room for more as we are still have only about 5 persons per square kilometre.\nAbout one third of the population is in the towns of Railton and Sheffield, with the balance being spread across smaller townships and farming areas.\nThe soils in Kentish are very productive and the rainfall is fairly predictable, consequently the main industry is agriculture; farming of beef, dairy, sheep and cropping. There is also potential to develop further as part of the North-West region as 'Food Bowl' of Australia and tourism opportunities.\nThe landscape ranges from lush rural farmland to spectacular mountain scenery. One of Tasmania's key visitor attractions, Cradle Mountain, is located in the municipal area, as is the world standard Lake Barrington Rowing Course.\nThere are a number of small localities throughout the municipality with evocative name like Garden of Eden, Gentle Annie, Paradise, Nook, Nowhere Else, and The Promised Land that are also visitor attractions.\nMount Roland dominates the landscape of the populated areas and watches carefully over the land, and is visible way out to sea many miles away. For those leaving or returning on the ferry, Roland tugs at the heart strings. In Kentish, you are almost never out of sight of Roland and its beautiful rocky outline captures the sunlight and changes throughout the day. A walk to the summit is a wonderful day walk for the fit and well prepared.\nTo book accommodation check out the Sheffield Visitor Information Centre website.\nSheffield - The Town of Murals\nThe main town of Sheffield developed as the centre of farming operations in the municipality, and has since grown to be the major shopping area, a thriving tourism area, and is the gateway to Cradle Mountain. Sheffield is known as the Town of Murals, with 55 murals (and growing) depicting the pioneer history and the people of Kentish. With it's beautiful King George V park, safe amenities and friendly people, it is no wonder Sheffield is growing.\nSheffield was named \"AUSTRALIA'S TIDIEST TOWN\" in 2014.\nNOTE: The MuralCam is currently offline.\nKentish Council has installed a camera in Mural Park which you can access online. It allows you to view different murals in the park, live, at any time of the day or night. Try it out: MuralCam\nTip: Select 'Cancel' if your browser asks you for a username and/or password. The camera will then open up.\nRailton - The Town of Topiary\nFound between Latrobe and Sheffield, this industry-based township has added more than 100 imaginative topiary characters to its main street area in recent years. In 'Cradle Mountain National Paddock' visitors can photograph the only 'living' Tasmanian Tiger. Check out www.townoftopiary.com.au for more information on topiary activities happening in Railton.\nVisitor attractions also include the Wild Mersey Mountain Bike Trails, Seven Sheds Brewery and the Fibre Optic Lighting and Gifts Store. The town is also equipped with several eateries, service station, pub and newsagency. The Tasmanian Trail can be accessed at Railton.\nRailton (marginally smaller than Sheffield) is the next largest town in the Kentish municipality and began life as a rail head. The town was named after the daughter of a pioneering family, not the railhead as commonly thought. The wide main street in Railton indicates the space needed to turn the bullock teams and drays that were responsible for hauling Kentish produce to the railway station.\nRailton is the home of Cement Australia. Cement Australia began operating in the 1920S producing the world renown Goliath Cement. Goliath Cement was used to build the Sydney Harbour Bridge. In fact, the construction industry throughout Australia has used cement from the Railton plant since the plants inception. This is testament to the purity of the limestone lode still being used to produce cement.\nA limestone quarry close to town served successive owners of the cement works and the disused quarry can still be seen along the main road to Railton. Early government milled trees within the surrounding area and shipped the timber across Bass Strait to build the city of Melbourne.\nTopiary locations throughout Railton can be identified by the Railton Area Tourist Information Brochure.\nWilmot - Valley of Views\nVisit Wilmot and take an alternative route along the C132 to or from Cradle Mountain. Known locally as the Valley of Views, the winding roads around Wilmot offer the best panoramic outlooks over Cradle Country. Wilmot lies to the west of Lake Barrington and has traditionally been used for dairying and growing potatoes. Originally, Wilmot supplied all the seed potatoes used in southern Australia. Visitors can enjoy the stunning hinterland scenery and the quirky Novelty Letterbox Trail.\nWilmot Hills Winery has produced award winning wines being renowned as the highest altitude vineyard in Tasmania. The Old Wilmot Bakehouse uses the original wood fired oven, built in the late 1890s, to bake a delicious variety of bread and pastries. Whilst visiting Wilmot, why not step back in time and view the history of Wilmot at the Wilmot Museum.\nWilmot's General Store, the first G.J. Coles General Store was located in Wilmot until it burnt down in early 2014. The destruction of the store was a tragic loss for the community, as it was more than just a general store, but a meeting hub for the community. Currently a temporary store is on site providing fuel and basic supplies for residents.", "domain": "geography"}

It’s unmistakable: a narrow but very high granite tower topped by an ice formation resembling an enormous ice cream cone. But have you seen the Tower itself? I tried to in 2002, but its upper 5000 feet were concealed in cloud. This is the Tower’s normal condition. Nevertheless increasing numbers of climbers approach it every year. They may have to wait weeks for a brief weather break to try the ascent. For this is Patagonia, home of storm and wind that can actually blow you off your feet.\nMountaineering in Patagonia is recent. Its highest peak, FitzRoy, was first climbed only in 1952. And Cerro Torre? That depends on whom you believe.\nIn 1959 the strong Italian climber Cesare Maestri staggered off the peak, claiming that he had reached the top. His partner, the equally strong Toni Egger, had perished in an avalanche on the way down. Maestri’s account was questioned from the start. Could they have managed this extraordinarily difficult ascent in just a week, and a week of bad weather at that? There were no photographs--Egger had carried the only camera. Skepticism grew. Nobody reached the top by Maestri’s route or any other. Then, in one of the most bizarre episodes in recent climbing history, he returned to the Tower in 1970, accompanied by a 150-pound gas-powered air compressor. He and the compressor succeeded on another part of the mountain. With compressor-supplied power, Maestri drilled some 400 expansion bolts, many of them clearly unnecessary. Even then, he didn’t reach the true summit, asserting that the final ice mushroom wasn’t really part of the mountain and would some day blow away.\nThe summit was indisputably reached by in 1974 by an Italian party. A number of (very difficult) new routes were subsequently established; but the favorite remained Maestri’s Compressor Route. With all those bolts in place, it really wasn’t that hard. But in 2012 two young climbers made it without the aid of any of the bolts. On the way down, they removed a good many of them. The route had become hard once more. The local reaction was hostile, and the two found themselves briefly in jail.\nThe turbulent Cerro Torre story is far from over, but who better to present it now than Kelly Cordes? He helped edit the American Alpine Journal for many years, and he has climbed Cerro Torre. Now he has written a splendid book. The Tower is a complete history of the peak. The writing is clear and compelling. Among the book’s attractions are its photographs: many are full-page in color. An opening section of these shows the routes in all their implausible clarity. Published appropriately by Patagonia Books, this is one for your library.\nIn addition to being a historical account, the book is a detective story. Cordes has to confront the question: Did Maestri really climb Cerro Torre in 1959? The author is untiring in his pursuit. Like most other commentators, he answers in the negative. Maestri’s description of the route and account of the accident had a disquieting flexibility. But the most damning evidence was a lack of evidence. In 1976 a three-man party reached the summit of Torre Egger (named for Toni Egger). The first two thousand feet duplicated the route claimed by Maestri, up to the Maestri-named Col of Conquest. No one had been there since 1959. On the first thousand feet they found abundant signs of precedence, culminating in an equipment dump near a prominent snowfield. Above that, nothing: not a piton, not a bolt, no ropes, no rappel points. Maestri’s description of the difficulties below the Col were utterly inaccurate. It was very hard to believe that he had really been there. And when the section above the Col was eventually climbed, no sign of an earlier ascent was found there either.\nThe falsity of Maestri’s account was sufficiently established for David Roberts to include it in Great Exploration Hoaxes (1982), along with Frederick Cook’s thoroughly discredited claim to the first ascent of Denali in 1906. Maestri has poisoned his case in interviews, with vague route descriptions and a lot of anger. From a 2006 interview:\nCan I ask you a specific question? How do you explain that there are no bolts on or above the Col of Conquest?\n“Listen very carefully: When we attacked it in 1959, the north face of Cerro Torre was a solid mass of snow and ice. We went up it. Egger was the greatest ice climber in the world. We took advantage of this because the weather had been bad for three weeks and Cerro Torre was a sheet of ice. ... [Maestri reels off a string of obscenities.] But I don't give a [expletive] about all this. It has already been covered, goddamn it to hell! You can't understand.”\nAnd after The Tower was published there came another revelation: a photo in a Maestri book that claimed to show Egger on Cerro Torre was taken on an entirely different peak.\nThe evident fakery prompts uncomfortable questions: When did Maestri decide to lie? Would he have done so had Egger survived? Even his description of his partner’s death has contradictions. Perhaps, as Maestri’s more charitable critics have suggested, he was so stunned by his own difficult descent, which included a long fall, that he really believed what he was saying. And possibly still does.\nThere is a resemblance to the disappearance of Mallory and Irvine on Everest in 1924. We will likely never know whether they made the top. Unlike Maestri, they did not survive to tell us. Maestri, though in his 80s and unwell, does know about Cerro Torre. But we readers will have to make our impartial guess. Cordes concludes in regretful condemnation: “They [Maestri and Cesarino Fava, who had been with him part of the way in 1959] failed themselves, they failed those who believed in them, and they betrayed the code of trust that is essential to climbing mountains.”\nReturn to Climbing page.\nReturn to travel page.\nReturn to home page.", "domain": "geography"}

Everyone needs romantic vacations with their significant other every once in a while. Whether your travel style is a cosy cottage in the forest, relaxed seclusion on the beach or a mountain getaway this post has something for every couple. We surely know the dilemma of picking the best romantic vacations for couples, because let’s face it, there are ‘thousands’ of beautiful destinations to choose from. Despite this, here are my favourite destinations for couples wanting a romantic getaway!\nAs a couple we’ve travelled to 43 countries before turning 21 years old, and we’re showing you the most romantic vacations for couples around the world.\n10 Most Romantic Vacations For Couples\n#1 Zighy Bay, Oman\nWe visited the Six Senses Zighy Bay back in June this year. To date, it is one of the most luxurious and exclusive hotels we have ever stayed in. Their attention to detail, the quality of each villa (all have their own private pools) and the professionalism of the staff here is exceptional. Without a doubt, if you’re looking for one of the most romantic vacations for couples, seriously consider the Six Senses Zighy Bay.\nThis hotel is also famous for it’s choice of arrivals, you can arrive by a 4×4 off-road experience, speedboat and even paragliding! So epic! Read about our Review of the Six Senses Zighy Bay here.\nHotel Booking: Six Senses Zighy Bay.\n#2 Santorini & Mykonos, Greece\nThese two islands in the Mediterranean are (in our opinion) the most beautiful of all the Greek Islands, and perfect for romantic vacations with your partner. Both famous for their white washed roofs and incredible sunsets over the sea, make sure to enjoy a glass of bubbly from your own private balcony, avoiding the tourist crowds.\nDid you know that Santorini is one of the most popular cruise destinations in the Mediterranean. You can find awesome and thematic cruise deals that will spice up your relationship. Don’t forget to find more info about your future romantic cruise.\nSantorini and Mykonos are only a 2 1/2 hour ferry from one another, combining both will ensure you have a vacation of a lifetime. P.S. you may never want to leave!\nMost Romantic Hotel For Couples: Grace Santorini\nYou probably knew this vacation was coming, so we couldn’t keep it from the list. The Maldives is THE romantic vacation for couples. With crystal clear waters, an array of world-class hotels, seclusion and tranquility, what’s not to love?\nThe Maldives are generally seen as an expensive and exclusive destination only for the rich, but with a bit of searching on the internet, you can find a really great deal!\nTip: Booking in off-season is the highest probability of grabbing a great deal. Off-season is generally from May to just before Christmas, with May, June, September and October usually offering the best deals. Also, there aren’t really any specific hotels to look out for, you should rather always keep an eye on everything. Sometimes there are some fantastic promotions on, and third party sites like ZenHotels or Thomas Cook often have heavily discounted rates as well. Use Trivago with a filter on Maldives and then sort by price.\nWe’ve seen beach villas at luxurious hotels from US$200 a night and overwater or private pool villas from US$300. At the same time, similar accommodation could be ten times that if you go in peak season without any offers on.\nMost Romantic Hotel For Couples: Six Senses Laamu\nOften Is Great Value For Money: Angsana Velavaru\n#4 Aitutaki, The Cook Islands\nSupposedly voted the ‘most beautiful place in the world’, it certainly lives up to its title. With pristine white beaches, palm trees, clear blue waters to die for and tranquility like no other, if you’re wanting seclusion this is one of the most romantic vacations for any couple. Make sure to visit One Foot Island!\nThe only way to get there is by plane on Air Rarotonga from the main island of Rarotonga. Flight prices aren’t cheap, generally around the NZ$600 mark (US$400) for a 40 minute flight. However, we’ll be visiting Aitutaki in a little over a month, and we managed to score flights for NZ$800 round trip for 2 people, still not cheap but definitely worth it in our opinion!\nMost Romantic Hotel For Couples: Aitutaki Escape\n#5 Kruger National Park, South Africa\nWhat’s more romantic than going on safari during sunrise/sunset and seeing the beauty of nature? Not much! Kruger National Park is home to some of the most luxurious and romantic lodges in the world. We stayed at Klaserie Sands River Camp, and it certainly exceeded all our expectations! Read our Review of Klaserie Sands here.\nWake up to the sounds of nature at your doorstep, watch elephants and more drink at the waterhole infront of your own private pool villa and have dinner under the stars. These are just a few of the experiences possible when staying at a lodge and venturing on a safari at Kruger National Park.\nOur Favourite & Highly Recommended: Klaserie Sands River Camp\nMost Luxurious Hotel: Lion Sands Sabi Sand\n#6 Cappadocia, Turkey\nCappadocia has been on our bucket-list for so long, and we’re hoping to tick it off in August/September next year, excited is an understatement! Why? Because, it’s on of the most romantic vacations for couples and one of the most beautiful destinations we’ve come across. With stunning fairy chimneys and hotels carved into the rocks and of course the infamous hot air balloons, if you’re wanting adventure this vacation is for you.\nFly in a private hot air balloon, cheers with a glass of bubbly and celebrate together from above whilst marvelling at the sunset.\nMost Luxurious & Romantic Hotel For Couples: Museum Hotel\n#7 Venice, Italy\nAnother destination that you probably anticipated that we couldn’t miss out. Even though Venice is very cliche for a perfect romantic vacation, it will still take your breath away every time you visit. Taking a ride of the gondolas through the narrow canals of Venice is like going back in time whilst gliding through the ancient sinking buildings.\nOne of the most romantic things to do in Venice is getting lost, quite literally. Don’t worry, it’s a small place and you’ll enjoy finding small cafes and restaurants as a result. Truly romantic and unforgettable.\nMost Luxurious & Romantic Hotel For Couples: Sina Centurion Palace\n#8 An Igloo/Arctic Hotel, Finland\nThis romantic vacation is a little different to the others, instead of a destination why not indulge in a warm igloo hotel in one of the Scandinavian countries? (most are located in Lapland, Finland). Make sure to book one with a glass roof so you can watch the aurora borealis from your bed.\nDo make sure to read reviews before booking these type of hotels, as many are known to ripping guests off with their extortionate prices once there.\nMost Romantic Igloo with Glass Roof: Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort\n#9 Christmas in New York, USA\nDuring the winter months, there is something so romantic about the Big Apple. Whether its taking a romantic stroll in central park surrounded by high skyscrapers or visiting a cute little cafe in the suburbs, you’ll surely enjoy your stay in this remarkable city over the winter months. How does ice-skating, hot chocolate, the Rockefeller Christmas Tree and snow sound? This romantic vacation is will always be a trip to remember.\nCheck out our guide on: How To See New York In 3 Days and How To Master The New York Subway.\nBest Value For Money: Viceroy Central Park New York\n#10 Bora Bora, French Polynesia\nLast but certainly not least is Bora Bora in French Polynesia. It is a popular destination for honeymooners and romantic getaways, however it is more on the expensive side, and hard to find a great deal but honestly it’s 100% worth it.\nFrom the dramatic scenery to the privacy and amenities of luxurious overwater bungalows, everything in Bora Bora equals a 10 on the romance scale – the definition of romantic vacations for couples wanting everything perfect on their trip abroad. How does breakfast brought to your overwater bungalow’s private balcony by an outrigger canoe regaled in flowers sound? Or a sunset cruise aboard a private catamaran including a four-course dinner? If that doesn’t make you want to book a flight to Bora Bora for a romantic vacation, then we’re not sure what will!\nMost Romantic & Luxurious Hotel: Four Seasons Bora Bora\nWhat other romantic vacations for couples would you suggest?\nWould you plan to go to one of the destinations listed above? Or have you already been to some of them? Which ones?\nDo you have Pinterest? Save it for later!\nSuch a great list! I just got married and I’m always searching for romantic places to go with my hubby 🙂 Oman is high on my list but I didn’t know it would make a good romantic trip! I’m even more excited to visit now. Thanks for sharing your tips!\nThanks so much! That’s amazing, congratulations 😀 Oman is beautiful, and cannot recommend the Six Senses Zighy Bay Oman enough if you’re looking for a romantic getaway/honeymoon.\nI want to go to all of these right now!! I’ve only been to two of these destinations and a few are definitely on my bucket list. I would LOVE to stay at that luxury place in South Africa!\nUs too! We’ve been to a few of these destinations but Cappadocia is highest on our list! Fingers crossed we will travel there in summer 2018!

It's then expected to veer north.\nResearchers found that even relatively weak hurricanes pose a serious threat of flooding to hospitals along the two coasts. While a Category 1 storm produces minor damage, including to trees and power lines, a Category 4 storm causes catastrophic damage to homes with winds strong enough to tear off roofs. Click here for more on hurricane ratings.\nThe expected rise in sea levels due to climate change makes hospital flooding 22% more likely than in previous years, according to the report published Sept. 29 in the journal GeoHealth.\n“We now have a better sense of which hospitals are likely to flood from a hurricane today and those that need to prepare for greater risks in the future,” said study co-author Dr. Aaron Bernstein, from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, in Boston.\n“Hurricanes are expected to get more severe and may strike regions further north than in the past due to climate change,\" Bernstein said in a school news release. \"In places like my hometown of Boston, we can avoid crises that other hospitals have had to endure by learning from their experience and creating plans that build on best practices. But we must act now, before disaster strikes.”\nFor the study, the researchers identified 682 acute care hospitals in 78 metropolitan areas within 10 miles of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States. These areas are home to just under 85 million people, or about one in four Americans. The investigators found that a Category 2 storm could flood half or more of the hospitals in 25 of the 78 cities they looked at.\nThe 10 areas most threatened by a Category 2 hurricane are:\nMiami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, Fla.\nNew York-Newark-Jersey City, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa.\nNew Orleans-Metairie, La.\nTampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla.\nNorth Port-Sarasota-Bradenton, Fla.\nCape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla.\nWith sea level rise expected this century, the number of hospital beds at risk of flooding from a Category 2 storm has gone up by more than 90% in Baton Rouge, Virginia Beach, Corpus Christi, Philadelphia and Boston, the research team reported.\nRecent storms damaged many hospitals. This study shows that even if hospital buildings aren't flooded, the roads around them might be, making it harder or impossible for people to get care, or provide it. In 18 metro areas, a Category 2 storm could flood at least half of the roads within one mile of hospitals.\nThe study authors pointed to a New Orleans hospital as an example of how coastal hospitals and health systems can become more resistant to hurricanes. The Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care Center opened in 2016 to replace the VA Hospital and Charity Hospital after Hurricane Katrina. It was designed to keep running for seven days even if the city's utilities and infrastructure were damaged. It has backup fuel supplies, on-site sewage treatment facilities, and enough space for up to 1,000 staff members and patients to stay inside during a storm.\nThe Climate MD program at Harvard Chan C-CHANGE offers more on how hospital health care providers reduce risks to patients.\nSOURCE: Harvard T.H.

This ancient city, located in the center of Henan province, about 500 miles southwest of Beijing, served as the capital of China during many dynasties. At Cricket Hill Garden, we have imported some of our tree peony stock from Luoyang since the late 1980s, and have benefited enormously from the willingness of growers there to share their expertise in the cultivation of these spectacular plants. We hear from our friends there that the weather has cooperated this year and that the natural bloom of peonies in the field will be from April 10th to 25th. In 1999, 2000, 2005 and 2008 we were extremely fortunate to be able to see the tree peonies in full bloom in Luoyang. We hope that you will enjoy the pictures of our trips there and that it serves as a tantalizing preview of the peony bloom to come closer to home.\nThere are several public tree peony garden in Luoyang. Perhaps the most famous is the Wangcheng Park. This formerly private garden is said to be built on the site of a prince’s ancient palace.\nOver the last decade many new peony gardens have been constructed in Luoyang.\nThe spectacular Longmen caves outside of Luoyang were carved by Buddhist monks beginning in the 5th century CE. A visit to Luoyang must include some time at this awe-inspiring site.\nThough this year only marks the 31st anniversary of the modern Peony Festival in Luoyang, tree peonies have been grown there for over 1400 years. Tradition tells us that peonies first arrived in Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty during the reign of Empress Wu (690-705 CE). Remembered even today as a mercurial ruler, she is said to have ordered all of the flowers to bloom for her birthday. The tree peonies alone disobeyed her edict, and for that offense were banished from the splendors of the Imperial Gardens in capital Chang’an (modern Xian). As punishment, the tree peonies were exiled to Luoyang. There, in continued defiance of the imperial will, they flourished. Improved breeding and cultivation techniques over hundreds of years led to the development of hybrids in the multitude of colors and shapes that are still grown today.\nWhen we fist visited Luoyang, we were very surprised to see how little organic matter there is in the soil. In fact, peonies thrive in this highly mineral loess soil, composed of silt deposited from flooding of the Yellow River. The samples we took from peony growing fields had a pH of 7.2 and were very high in calcium as well as other minerals.\nWhen we first visited Luoyang, the color and size of flowers astonished us. We still strive to match such bountiful blooms in our own garden.\nIn the Song Dynasty, about a hundred and fifty years after Empress Wu banished the tree peonies to Luoyang, the scholar and official Ouyang Xiu wrote a treatise on the unsurpassed beauty of the peonies there. His Tree Peonies of Luoyang deals extensively with the methods of cultivation of the merits of named cultivars grown there.\nUsing technology not much changed since the time of Ouyang Xiu, a worker uses a cultivating tool constructed out of an old bicycle to cut up small weeds in a nursery bed.\nLuoyang continues to be an important center for tree peony research and breeding. Shown here is the ‘gene bank’ of the wild species Peonia ostii.\nIn China, peonies are often planted in blocks by cultivar. This produces a striking visual effect.\nOuyang writes that “in the spring all the residents of [Luoyang], whether high-ranking or lowly, wear them in their hair. Even laborers carrying things through the street on poles do this. When the flowers first blossom, gentlemen and commoners alike rush to go view them.” We easily recognize this infatuation with the flowers. Each spring, the peonies cast this irresistible allure on all who behold them.\nPeony princess of Luoyang.\nThe Peony Festival is a very festive time with young and old all reveling in the beauty of the flowers.\nTrying to capture the essence of an ephemeral flower, while also avoiding the hot spring sun of north China.\nThe flowers are also shaded from the strong spring sun to prolong the bloom.\nOuyang Xiu describes in his treatise Luoyang as a city in the grips of peony mania, where intoxicated residents were willing to pay exorbitant prices for highly prized cultivars. Today tree peonies are still known in Luoyang as ‘bai liang jin’ or ‘one hundred ounces of gold,’ the price for the most sought after varieties during the height of the peony mania of the Tang dynasty. Unwitting out-of-towners, unfamiliar with peony growing, but also under their spell of their blossoms, paid enormous sums of money for dead plants which had their roots boiled. This was done to ensure that Luoyang would continue to have a monopoly on the beauty of these flowers.\nCricket Hill Garden’s David Furman with Luoyang peony grower Wu Jingxu in his growing fields.\nThe people of Luoyang no longer so jealously guard their peonies, which are rightly, still held in such high regard. Many of the classic varieties of Chinese tree peonies originate from Luoyang. Perhaps most famous is ‘Luoyang Red’, one of our all time favorite varieties. Today, the main boulevard of downtown Luoyang is planted with spectacular specimens of ‘Luoyang Red’. We take great pride in the fact it also flourishes in our garden as well as in those of hundreds of our customers in America.\n‘Luoyang Red’ blooming in our Peony Heaven at Cricket Hill Garden.\nOver the next few weeks as the tree peony bloom begins in China, we will be posting new pictures of various gardens and sites of peony cultivation there, so be sure to check back soon.", "domain": "geography"}

Again! (For those of you who might be counting... this will be our fourth move since I started my business six years ago!) This coming January my family will be relocating to Anchorage, Alaska due to Avram's job. Surprise, right?! It was a bit of surprise for us as well. :) We just moved to Washington last summer and we really love it here, but we're trying to make the best of everything. We hope to move back in the next year or two, so I wanted to let everyone know that for the next couple of years I will be booking sessions and weddings in both Alaska and Washington!\nRight now I'm planning on coming back down to Washington at least twice a year and will be booking sessions during those visits (probably once in the spring/summer and once in the fall). Of course, I will always offer sessions if I'm coming back for a wedding or if there's enough interest for a particular time frame! Be sure to follow me on Facebook and Instagram to keep up to date on travel announcements. I'm also going to be sending out occasional email newsletters to announce travel plans and information, so if you'd like to subscribe to that list, click here.\nI will continue to book sessions and weddings here in Washington and Oregon until December 2017. My calendar is currently open for fall family sessions and I will be scheduling those on weekends from September to December. If you're interested in booking your fall family pictures with me this year before I move, please let me know as soon as possible! I anticipate that these prime dates will book quickly and I would really hate to not be able to fit someone in. I'm also currently booking sessions in Alaska for January 2018 and into the spring.\nI'm going to work super hard to accommodate both my Alaska and Washington clients during the next couple of years, so please don't hesitate to contact me to book a session even after I move. I will be traveling back and forth often and would be so excited to arrange a special trip for any of my amazing clients. :)\nAnyways! I'm so thankful that I was able to capture your memories this year, and I hope to have the privilege of photographing your families again this fall or next year.

Among the most captivating of these are the planets that orbit the sun. From the scorching inferno of Mercury to the icy desolation of Neptune, each planet possesses its own unique characteristics and secrets waiting to be uncovered. In this article, we embark on a journey through our solar system to discover 5 facts about each planet.\nMercury: The Sweltering Furnace\nOur journey begins with the closest planet to the sun, Mercury. This rocky world is a scorching furnace during the day, with surface temperatures that can soar above 800 degrees Fahrenheit (430 degrees Celsius). However, Mercury also has a stark contrast in temperature, as its nights can plunge to a bone-chilling -290 degrees Fahrenheit (-180 degrees Celsius) due to its lack of a significant atmosphere to trap heat. Interestingly, Mercury has a surface scarred by countless impact craters, a testament to its tumultuous past.\nVenus: Earth’s Evil Twin\nVenus, often referred to as Earth’s “evil twin,” is our next destination. This planet is home to a runaway greenhouse effect that has caused its surface temperatures to rise to a blistering 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius). Remarkably, Venus has a thick, toxic atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide, which traps heat and contributes to its extreme temperatures. Its surface is adorned with volcanoes, and its crushing atmospheric pressure is more than 90 times that of Earth.\nEarth: Our Blue Marble\nEarth, the only planet known to support life, is our cherished home. It’s remarkable for its diverse ecosystems, life forms, and moderate climate. Earth is the only planet in the solar system with liquid water on its surface, thanks to its ideal distance from the sun. The presence of a protective atmosphere and a magnetic field shields our planet from harmful solar radiation, allowing life to thrive. Earth’s vast oceans, towering mountains, and lush forests make it a true gem in the solar system.\nMars: The Red Planet\nMars, often called the “Red Planet,” has long fascinated astronomers with the possibility of past or present life. One of its most striking features is the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, which stands nearly three times taller than Mount Everest. Mars also boasts a massive canyon known as Valles Marineris, which dwarfs the Grand Canyon on Earth. In recent years, robotic missions to Mars have uncovered evidence of water beneath its surface and the potential for microbial life.\nJupiter: The Giant Of The Solar System\nJupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, is a true giant. Its mass is more than twice that of all the other planets in the solar system combined. One of Jupiter’s most captivating features is its intricate system of colourful cloud bands and swirling storms. The most famous of these is the Great Red Spot, a colossal storm that has raged for centuries. Jupiter is also home to a diverse family of moons, including the fascinating Io, which is the most volcanically active body in the solar system.\nSaturn: The Lord Of The Rings\nSaturn, often referred to as the “Lord of the Rings,” is known for its stunning system of rings. These rings are composed of countless particles of ice and rock, ranging in size from tiny grains to several meters across. Saturn’s rings are not solid but rather a collection of orbiting particles that create a mesmerizing spectacle when viewed from space. The planet itself is a gas giant, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, and it boasts a complex and beautiful system of cloud bands.\nUranus: The Tilted Ice Giant\nUranus stands out among the planets for its dramatic tilt. While most planets in the solar system have relatively mild axial tilts, Uranus is practically lying on its side. This unusual orientation results in extreme seasonal variations, with each pole experiencing prolonged periods of darkness and daylight. Uranus is an ice giant with a predominantly hydrogen and helium atmosphere, but its striking blue-green colour comes from traces of methane in its upper atmosphere. It’s also the only planet in the solar system that rotates in a retrograde direction, opposite to most other planets.\nNeptune: The Windy World\nOur journey through the solar system concludes with Neptune, the eighth and farthest planet from the sun. Neptune is known for its fierce winds, with some gusts reaching speeds of over 1,500 miles per hour (2,400 kilometres per hour). These powerful winds create dark storm systems, including the famous Great Dark Spot. Beneath its thick atmosphere of hydrogen, helium, and traces of methane, Neptune likely has a hot, rocky core. This distant planet is still a subject of ongoing study, with much left to discover about its mysteries.", "domain": "geography"}

It will take visitors on a complete journey of the mountain: they will learn how local stories and past mythologies can help us understand our relationship with the environment, and how research leads to a better understanding of the mountain and how the mountain, and our wider world is changing. In order to bring these stories to life, the tour will also include information on the mountain flora and fauna.\n- Citizen-Scientists: the partnership will create a local group of citizen-scientists who will participate in a project of measuring local air quality. With adequate support by scientists, along with the necessary scientific instrumentation, participants will learn how to plan a science experiment, collect data and present results back to the community and relevant science networks.\nThis project is funded by the Green Fund and will run from 14th September 2020 until 12th March 2022.\nProject Coordinator / Contact person: DISSCO – Evgenia Tsianou, firstname.lastname@example.org www.helmos.cc", "domain": "geography"}

Monty hails from Connecticut and spent summers camping and enjoying the beaches of the northern Atlantic. They met in Rhode Island, after which Monty's career with the Department of Veterans Affairs brought them to North Carolina. They have called North Carolina home for more than eighteen years.\nBoth retired now, Joan and Monty decided to spend some time exploring new destinations and experiencing different cultures. Their first trip abroad took them to England, followed by excursions to places like Switzerland, Italy, Tanzania, and the Galapagos Islands.\nWhen Joan and Monty travel, they do so with the intention of learning as much as possible about the history, people, and cultural nuances of the many and varied places that make up our world—and PBS NC has served as a reliable and ready resource for just that. Joan and Monty are avid viewers of PBS NC's many history, travel, and lifestyle programs (and particular fans of UNC-EX) as well as PBS NewsHour and the BBC News, gleaning guidance and insight into the locations they visit and the complex interrelationships of the global community.\nJoan and Monty support PBS NC as members of the Producers Circle and the Legacy Society. While they continue their ongoing and generous annual support, they have also made provisions for PBS NC's future by including a gift to PBS NC in their will. \"PBS NC is a wonderful source for information and ideas. We have learned so much from watching it, and we want to do what we can to make sure it is available for a long, long time,\" Monty explains. \"As a teacher, I appreciate and value public television's advocacy of knowledge,\" Joan adds. \"PBS NC programming is a treasure, and it should not be missed by future generations.\"", "domain": "geography"}

It is situated on Satpra range. The beauty of the location is further intensified by the accompanied Narmada and Tapti river valley. The fort is located at a very strategic location between North India and south India, and hence it is also called as \"Door to South India\" or \"key to the Deccan\". In Mughal era it was believed that Deccan starts from here and the kingdom from Asirgarh to Delhi was called Hindustan. The fort was built by Ahir dynasty king Asa Ahir.\nOrigin of the name\nThe fort was built by Ahir dynasty king Asa Ahir. It was previously known as Asa Ahir Garh, later on the name was changed to Asirgarh Fort.\nHistorical Accounts of Asirgarh Fort\nThe fort was built by Ahir dynasty king Asa Ahir. The Mughal emperor in 1536 after the conquest of Gujrat visited Asirgarh. It is believed during medieval period Asirgarh has been conquered by many kings. Akbar has asked Raja Ali Khan to submit himself, the later dropped his royal title of \"Shah\" and pledged suzerainty to Akbar. Raja Ali khan has also built many buildings like Jama Masjid in the upper portion of the fort of Asir in 1588, Idgah at Asir. Bahadur Khan (1596–1600) who was a successor of Raja Ali Khan denied to pay homage to Akbar, which enraged Akbar. He conquered Burhanpur without opposition and stayed there for four days. Mumtaj Mahal, wife of Khurram later crowned as Shahjahan died here while delivering her 14th issue.\nArchitecteure of Asirgarh Fort\nThe fort is made up of Stone, lead and limestone. The architecture resembles Mughal architecture which is a mix of Islamic, Persian, Turkish and Indian architecture. There are also tombs, balcony’s, tombs showcasing royal medieval Indian architecture.\nPlaces of Interest in Asirgarh Fort\nThere is a Temple, a Masjid and a Gurudwara (Sikhs worshipping place) inside the Fort which are largely used for religious purposes. There is also a place inside this Fort. Opposite to Shiva temple is a place where criminals were hung and later on were thrown over the cliff. The Shiva temple is believed to be very old. It is believed that Ashwathama (character from Mahabharat) used to come to pray to Lord Shiva daily. Inside the fort are also graveyards of many Britishers with some intact tombstones. There is a huge natural water tank inside the Fort, which is believed to be the source of water for the residents of the Fort.", "domain": "geography"}

It is helpful to have a good map of the main temples when reviewing the post below and preparing for a visit. I thought the map referenced here was excellent. Listed below are the sights we visited on the first day:\nThe Royal City of Angkor Thom (Big Angkor).\nAngkor Thom covers a large area (3 km2) and contains many interesting structures and is second only to Angkor Wat in terms of priority to visit. It is just north of Angkor Wat and as I suggest below, bypass Angkor Wat (for now) and head directly to Angkor Thom. Angkor Thom was a walled and moated royal city, the last capital of the Angkor Empire. Most of the buildings date from the late 12th century to the early 13th century. You can spend much of the day just exploring the structures here:\nBayon. One of the most famous temples in Angkor Thom. Its configuration represents a stone mountain and it served as the state temple of King Jayavarman VII.\nA view of Bayon Temple.\nOne of my favorite views of the towers at Bayon temple.\nA passageway at Bayon.\nThere are 37 existing towers (out of 49 originally), most of which are carved with 4 faces, or in some cases 2 or 3 faces.\nA closeup of the faces at Bayon.\nIt underwent several renovations under later kings.\nTerrace of the Elephants and Terrace of the Leper King. The Elephant Terrace is 300 meters long and dates from the 12th century. It derives its name from the carved elephants on part of the walls. It fronts the Baphoun Temple and provides the backdrop for an impressive Royal City thoroughfare.\nThe Terrace of the Elephants.\nThe elephants from which the terrace derives its name.\nThe Terrace of the Leper King is just north of the Terrace of the Elephants and contains intricate carvings, many found on a hidden double wall that was just excavated in the late 1990’s.\nA close-up of the double wall at the Terrace of the Leper King.\nClose up of a carving at the Terrace of the Leper King.\nJust east of these terraces are other small towers lined up in a row whose purpose is not clear. To the west of these terraces are the following temples:\nBaphuon. Another state temple, and an earlier (mid 11th century) construction than Bayon. This pyramid temple underwent major restoration and rebuilding over almost a 40 year period.\nA view of Baphuon and the causeway leading up to the temple.\nThe restoration was interrupted during the Khmer Rouge dictatorship years in the 1970’s, and records regarding the restoration were unfortunately lost, leaving a huge pile of blocks!\nA view from the top of Baphuon.\nPhimeanakas. Close to Baphuon, this pyramid temple dates to the mid 10th century, and sits on the site of the Royal Palace, which no longer stands. However, there are enough remnants including walls, gates and pools to give an idea of the grandeur of the palace grounds.\nA view of a gate, wall and pool on the Royal Palace grounds near Phimeanakas.\nOutside of Angkor Thom.\nJust to the east of Angkor Thom are two small but well restored temples, both similar in style to Angkor Wat. Both temples have Hindu and Buddhist themes in their carvings. They also look very similar to each other, but were actually built in different periods. The best news is that they don’t receive a lot of visitors, so they make a peaceful and pleasant stop and a good place to get photos without crowds.\nThommanom. This is the older temple of the two. Built in the 11th century.\nChau Say Thevoda (or Chao Say Tevoda). Directly opposite of Thommanom on the south side of the road leading out of Angkor Thom. From the 12th century.\nChau Say Thevoda Temple.\nTa Keo. Ta Keo is just a bit further east of the two temples above, and different in style from the examples above. Ta Keo was constructed out of sandstone and very plain, without much decoration. It is an older temple, originating in the late 10th century.\nTa Keo Temple–the red sandstone is apparent.\nTa Prohm. Perhaps the most romantic and mysterious temple in the Angkor area, and definitely one of the most famous, having been a filming location for the movie Tomb Raider starring Angelina Jolie.\nEntrance to Ta Prohm.\nThe famous “Tomb Raider” door.\nA panorama of the interior courtyard of Ta Prohm.\nThis temple has purposely been left more or less in its natural ruined state to show what the temples looked like during their rediscovery in the 19th century.\nAnother personal favorite view of Ta Prohm.\nOne more view of Ta Prohm. Almost every inch of this temple is a postcard image.\nTa Prohm was built between the mid 12th century and early 13th century. It was a Buddhist monastery, and a very wealthy one at that – controlling 3000 villages and known for its stores of jewelry and gold. Definitely a must-do on any itinerary. Hint: Ta Som, a temple we visited on our 2nd day (my next post), was almost as stunning and far less busy.\nAngkor Wat. The granddaddy of them all and the world’s largest religious monument. We saved a visit to this temple until the afternoon and we were glad we did for two reasons: a) Fewer tourists. Since this is the first temple one comes to after the ticket entrance, most tours stop here first. We came back in the afternoon, and while there were still some tourists, there were no where near the crowds we saw in the morning. b) The view. The typical morning haze and clouds in this region dissipate by the afternoon, and we were left with a glorious temple bathed in perfectly positioned afternoon sunshine.\nA perfectly blue sky in the afternoon at Angkor Wat.\nA panorama of Angkor Wat.\nAngkor Wat was a temple-mountain dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu. It dates from about mid 12th century. The towers are 65 meters high and it has an unusual western orientation (rather than eastern, as most other temples in Angkor).\nOne of the courtyard and towers of Angkor Wat.\nA worship service at Angkor Wat.\nIts large moat, enclosures and towers represent the Hindu universe. One could spend days exploring all the carvings and symbolism of this magnificent temple.\nA view from the southeast corner of the Angkor Wat temple – almost no one goes out here.\nPhnom Bakheng. The last temple we visited on our first day is pretty close to Angkor Wat, and required a 20 minute hike up the hill on which it is located. The temple itself is difficult to get a picture of, due to its orientation on the hill–it’s hard to step back and get a good view, and we found it a bit less impressive than the others.\nPhnom Bakheng temple.\nA view of Angkor Wat from the Phnom Bakheng temple.\nThe main reason for climbing the hill (and then climbing up the temple) is for the views overlooking the whole Angkor area and especially Angkor Wat. Many people (like us) make the hike up in the afternoon or right before sunset for the views. This temple is the oldest at Angkor, dating from the late 9th century and was the first state temple as Angkor became the capital city of the Khmer Empire. This temple is also undergoing restoration work.\nMore to come in my next post!", "domain": "geography"}

We do not use any chemical fertilisers or pesticides on The Drift Farm, rather preferring compost as a fertiliser.\nTo take advantage of specific soil types, angle and aspect of slope, etc. we have planted small, irregular shaped vineyards of various sizes. These are not what one would consider “commercially viable” either in size, or layout. However, if you want to make amazing wine, it starts with where and how you plant the vineyard.\nAs an example, we make a single-vineyard Rosé from an obscure Port variety called Touriga Franca. This entire vineyard only produces around 2000 litres per year. Here, as with all the vineyards, our intention is to make an exceptional wine – a true reflection of the vineyard site.\nEach vineyard is fermented, and matured, separately before being blended together to craft the final wine.\nEach vineyard has been given the name of a maternal ancestor in our family tree, starting with my wife, Penelope whose maiden name was Passmore.\nOur vineyards are root-fed with earthworm water from our own earthworm farm, and we make extensive use of compost and mulch to suppress weeds and create a naturally cool and moist environment for earthworms. The earthworms not only aerate the soil, but bring life into the soil.\nHealthy, life-enriched soil makes for healthy vines – and in these extreme growing conditions, the vines need to be strong to survive. We never use chemical fertilisers, as this unbalances the inherent chemical make-up of the soil and we would then not get a true reflection of the land in the final wine.\nWe also have an agreement with neighbouring farms not to use chemical sprays on the adjoining wheat lands. Although we have irrigation in all the vineyards, this is really only to get the vines established for the first three to five years of their life. Thereafter, irrigation is used sparingly, and only to enhance quality – never for quantity. We are not after quantity at all.\nWe want small, intensely-flavoured berries that will help us make complex wines of outstanding quality.\nEach marriage of vineyard site to variety has been carefully planned to provide us with a myriad of subtly different wines, which when blended will contribute to layers and layers of complexity. Each vineyard’s character adds another nuance to the overall effect.\nTannat – flatter aspect, warmer vineyard site, stonier soil, robust tannin, tiny berries\nShiraz – on top of the hill, extremely windy, very cool, shy bearing, intense, small berries\nPinot Noir – field planting of three different clones – steep, decomposed shale soil\nTouriga National – Rocky, sandy, well-drained soil over decomposed granitic sub soil\nChardonnay – low yielding, steep slope, high clay content with stone and shale\nFraser Munn Vineyard\nMalbec on Richter 99 rootsock – small berries, steep slope, high clay content (young Malbec)\nShiraz – very stony soil with decomposed granite, up against the mountain surrounded by Protea and other fynbos\nMalbec on Richter 110 rootstock – intense colour, mulberry flavour, steep slope with high clay content (original Malbec)\nTouriga Franca – a lessor known Port variety that we use to make a very special single vineyard Rosé.Rocky, sandy, well-drained soil over decomposed granitic sub soil\nShiraz – extremely low yielding, very rocky soil (on entrance on left) – surrounded by renosterveld fynbos\nBarbera – flatter aspect, warmer vineyard site, stonier soil, wonderful high natural acidity, complex, layered characters\nTinta Barocca – Rocky, sandy, well-drained soil over decomposed granitic sub soil\nContent credit: The Drift Farm", "domain": "geography"}

In January\nCODATA takes the lead on Furthering the Application of the Agreed GEOSS data sharing principles\nAgreement for a 10-year implementation plan for a Global Earth Observation System of Systems, known as GEOSS, was reached by member countries of the Group on Earth Observations at the Third Observation Summit. CODATA and GEO organized a meeting on the 22nd of October 2006 in Beijing. See http://www.codata.org/GEOSS/index.html\nThis meeting focused specifically on Task DA-06-01: Furthering the practical application of the agreed GEOSS data sharing principles. CODATA is now taking the lead on furthering the application of these data sharing principles. This Task has been included in the GEO Draft Workplan for 2007-2009. We look forward to working with GEO on this task.\nGlobal information Commons for Science Initiative, GICSI\nFollowing on from the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis in November 2005, at which CODATA launched its Global information Commons for Science Initiative, http://www.itu.int/wsis/tunis/statements/docs/pe-codata/1.doc, CODATA held a series of meetings in 2006 on the initiative-Dublin, Brussels, and Beijing. The Initiative is part of the CODATA Strategic Plan in and we hope to commence implementation of same in 2007.\nThe foregoing are just a few examples of some of the highlights in 2006. As incoming President I must acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the outgoing President, Shuichi Iwata over the last four years. It is thanks to his work and that of the out-going board that these activities were generated.\n2006-2008 promises to be an exciting period for CODATA as we embark on formalizing the Strategic Plan as discussed in Beijing and initiate steps to implement it. As President of CODATA, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to you for all of your support.

The airport is located between Arrecife and Puerto Del Carmen on the East of Lanzarote.\nThe Airport is now very busy, even more so on a Thursday which is the main change over day for the UK. For further information on flights to and from Lanzarote, visit Flights to Spain.\nThe Airport currently only has 2 terminal with an upper and lower level.

The men and women who practice it work either in underground mines or on the Earth’s surface. Their goals? To take soil samples for analysis and to construct wells, tunnels and underground passages. The task may sound pretty simple, but master drillers have to be accurate, to follow safety instructions to the letter, to work long shifts and to know how to operate drills of all sizes. So it isn’t enough to just drill a hole, as some people may imagine. In reality, drillers have to master their machines and drilling techniques, as well as adapt to geological and weather conditions.\nLiving as they do in remote areas for weeks at a time, drillers have to get used to being away from home. After all, mining exploration rarely happens in major centers. Flies, heat and cold are other major problems, but drillers sometimes benefit from magnificent scenery and the chance to discover new destinations.\nThe difference between the lives of drillers in Canada and drillers in South America\nCanadians working abroad have noticed major nuances in the lives of drillers depending on their location. The basic knowledge is the same, but there are differences, mostly due to differing geological formations and climates. South America is one of the more fascinating examples.\nGeological formations: an important detail\nGeological formations are definitely what make the biggest difference in the experiences of South American and Canadian workers. In South America, most mining properties are in the mountains, inside rocky formations. Geological formations may be much harder to work than those in Canada, and techniques have to be adjusted.\nLaws on mining exploration\nMajor mining corporations are traded on the stock exchange, so they are demonstrably becoming more aware of working conditions and environmental protection. Although regulations differ slightly among countries, mining companies are subject to their own social and environmental commitments. This means that a company that is exploiting resources in a country with a more modern take on things will tend to apply the same regulations all over the world.\nAltitude is the source of another major difference in conditions for Canadian and South American drillers. Not everyone is physically capable of working at an altitude of 4,000 or 5,000 metres. It’s extremely hard on the human body. Excellent physical health and endurance are required to work in a country like Peru, where workers have to undergo a physical exam specific to working at high altitudes.\nIn South America, workers spend a lot more time travelling when they work at high altitudes. In order to protect their health they don’t sleep in the mountains, so they may spend two to four hours a day travelling from the foot of the mountain to the mine and back again.\nProduction and climate\nThe rate of production per shift is markedly different between the two places. While you can easily drill 40 or 50 metres in a shift in North America, you can only drill the half of it in countries like Peru because of the altitude, the climate and the geological formation.\nInterested in working as a driller?

It was really difficult along parts of the path with the pushchair and my dad and Mr M ended up lifting it over rocky parts. We then got to the point where Mr M just carried Baby M and we folded up the pushchair.\nIt was worth it though as the beach was lovely. Plus saying it was the school holidays and a glorious day it wasn't that busy either. We had a lovely picnic.\nThis was the first time Baby M had been on a proper sandy beach. It was also the first time he stood in the sea.

The initial Employer's Roadmap has been expanded with customized information for supplemental Regional Roadmaps that address the context and needs of employers in eight different regions in Canada.", "domain": "geography"}

Organising such initiatives, with the participation of representatives of pioneering and world-leading organisations from abroad, such as NASA and the European Space Agency, as well as prestigious academic and research institutions, is vital in order to discuss the latest developments in topics that can address a wide range of challenges and to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and expertise.\nThe field of space-based technologies was once considered to be too advanced for a small country like Cyprus. Α possibility that not many would have dared to consider twenty years ago. To this end, we are particularly proud of the establishment of Eratosthenes, with Excelsior Project being in fact one of the most ambitious in the Research and Innovation history of Cyprus, aiming to establish our country in the sector of space technology.\nFocusing on the area of earth observation, space applications and geospatial information and analysis, Eratosthenes aspires to become a fully functional Innovation Hub and a Research Excellence Centre in the EMMENA region, whilst creating an ecosystem where state-of-the-art sensing equipment, cutting-edge research, targeted education services and entrepreneurship, come together.\nLadies and gentlemen,\nIn a rapidly evolving world, where humanity is facing increasing challenges, such as the global spread of infectious diseases and of course, climate change which poses large-scale hazards to human health and has both a direct and indirect impact on species and ecosystems, it is now even more essential than ever to embrace result-driven creativity. This is the reason why fuelling cutting-edge ideas across all levels of education, society and industry, facilitating research, innovation and technology, along with cultivating green consciousness, stand as our top priority.\nTo this end, the direction of the Cypriot Government is clear: Formulate a new sustainable growth model which fosters research, innovation and technology, accelerate the transition to a green economy and increase efficiency through digitalisation, being capable of expanding the productive base of the economy.\nHaving this in mind, the Research and Innovation Foundation launched the Bridge Funding programmes in April, with a total budget of €15 million, aiming to provide incentives for collaborations between private and publicly-funded academic and research organisations, while strengthening the competitiveness of the entire local ecosystem and increasing the critical mass of research activity in Cyprus.\nBig opportunities also arise from Europe’s new and most ambitious funding programme for Research and Innovation, “Horizon Europe”. The Programme opens the way for real actions and progress, assembling the world’s best minds to work together and deliver revolutionary smart solutions to the key issues of our times. With a total budget of €95.5 billion, “Horizon Europe” looks ahead in making the continent a strong force in a digital age that respects and protects our planet.\nFor us, through our different capacities under the umbrella of the Cyprus National Research and Innovation Governance System, but also for me personally, synergies along with the development of a culture of creativity and innovation, are essentially the driving force behind the creation of a productive R&I environment, which will strengthen the local ecosystem and lead to the development and commercialisation of value-added innovative products and services. An ecosystem that is fit-for-the-future and efficient, adding value horizontally across all sectors of the economy.\nAcknowledging the high importance of broadening the academia-industry cooperation networks, RIF is setting up a national Knowledge Transfer Office and has formed a collaboration with Knowledge Transfer consultant Mr Tom Hockaday, a leading figure in the world of university knowledge transfer and university-business interactions, targeting to convey results stemming from scientific and technological research to the market and thus the wider society.\nDear members of Eratosthenes,\nI would like to congratulate you once again and reiterate our full support towards your aspirations to transform Cyprus into a national and regional hub for earth surveillance and space-based monitoring of the environment.\nI am confident that the discussions that follow will prove to be thought-provoking and beneficial for our joint efforts for a better future driven by research, scientific excellence and innovation.", "domain": "geography"}

Here are insider tips to maximize your fun on a fantastic two day adventure getaway in the Ocoee River Corridor. Head to the Ocoee the morning of day one and play, dine, and explore the area over your two days.\nExplore the Olympic Whitewater Slalom Course\nHit the road early and get to the world famous Ocoee River mid morning. Lace up your hiking shoes and go explore the site of the 1996 Olympic whitewater course on the Upper Ocoee. There is plenty of parking, including for campers and trailers. Picnic and explore the river and riverside trails. If it’s a weekend, the water will be “on” and watch whitewater rafters and private boaters navigate the Upper Ocoee rapids. It its midweek, the dam is not releasing water and you can play in lovely swimming holes. Check into your unique, local, friendly lodging in the Corridor before or after you visit the Upper – depending on checkin times.\nLunch Options Near the Ocoee River\nThe Upper Ocoee River is on the east side of the Corridor. Head to Ducktown and Copperhill Brewery for lunch options, if you didn’t bring your own picnic. Or, head west in the Corridor just past Parksville Lake and enjoy the Big Frog Mountain Burritos at Ocoee Dam Deli & Diner, or grab a delicious pizza at the Ocoee Gondolier.\nLooking for something else? The Ocoee River Corridor has many options for every palate.\nAfternoon Activities -Waterfalls and Waterslides\nAfter a delicious lunch, head to Chilhowee Recreation Area and hike to the 65 foot, stunning at Benton Falls. The road to Chilhowee is right across from Parksville Lake, in the middle of the Ocoee River Corridor. Or, hit the natural water slides of Goforth Creek, right off Highway 64 beside the Ocoee River. There is parking roadside, and it’s a short hike up the creek on a pretty steep trail.\nDinner with a side of History\nAfter a day of exploring the wonders of the Ocoee River Corridor, there are many delicious dining options. On the east side, options include Rod’s Rockin Rolls in Ducktown, TN. Or head farther east and explore the historic downtown area of McCaysville, GA, and Copperhill, TN. These border towns are split by the Ocoee River, named Ocoee on the TN side, and named Toccoa on the GA side.\nHistory of Ducktown: Ducktown was the headquarters of the Copper mining operations back in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The name Ducktown is a translation of the original Cherokee name for this town Gawonvyi, or Kawana – which means “duck place” in English. It is also said that the town was named after a Cherokee Chief named Chief Duck (with the Cherokee name sounding like the English word “duck”).\nCookouts & Sunsets: Or, enjoy a great cookout if you are camping at one of the many campgrounds in the Ocoee River Corridor. Then cap off your day with a beautiful sunset from the Chilhowee Mountain Overlook. You’ll drive up, up, up the mountain road in Chilhowee Recreation Area to get to this location. Expect a 15 minute drive from Parksville Lake to the lookout – it’s totally worth it!\nJava and Breakfast Options\nBefore setting off to meet at your rafting outfitter’s location to take on the Class III-IV rapids of the Ocoee River, grab a perfect latte and a breakfast treat at Ocoee Coffee Joint, on the west side the Corridor. If your day starts at the top side of the gorge near Copperhill, then grab a bite at Yellowbird Coffee Shop.\nNote that many of the Ocoee River rafting outfitters offer coffee and breakfast options at their outposts – so convenient!\nWhitewater Rafting on the Ocoee River\nWhitewater rafting on the Ocoee River is an exhilarating adventure for those aged 12+ that immerses participants in a world of adrenaline-pumping rapids, stunning natural beauty, and rich historical significance. Your start time will depend on the Rafting Outfitter selected, the first morning trips launch from the river put-in as early as 9AM, but your arrival time at your rafting company outpost needs to account for checkin, gear, river safety talk, and transportation to the put-in. Be sure to note your outfitter’s specified outpost arrival time! Prepare for your trip to be between 3-3.5 hours for either the Middle or the Upper Ocoee River trip.\nWant to see all the river has to offer? Schedule a Full Day Combo trip that include the Upper Ocoee, lunch, and the Middle Ocoee! Note that the combo trip is only available on weekends, due to the Upper Ocoee limited release schedule.\nAfternoon: Funky Shops, Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, or Ziplining\nIf you do a half day trip on the river, spend the rest of the day in Copperhill, TN, or McCaysville, GA, and explore the historic downtown area that divides two states. Stroll along the quaint streets lined with an array of unique shops and cozy boutiques like Daffodillys Plant Co., Blue Ridge Olive Oil Co, and Toccoa River Outfitters and Fly Shop.\nYou can also hop on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway for a 2-hour scenic express ride along the Toccoa River. Perfect for train buffs and wee ones.\nReady to fly through the trees? Go ziplining and test your love of heights with an aerial adventure! Check out your ziplining and aerial adventures options here.\nLast Chance Dinner Before You Head Home\nAfter a fun-filled day seeing all the beauty of the Ocoee River Corridor, you’re ready to head home. Depending on which way you are driving (southeast to Atlanta, West to Nashville, southwest to Birmingham, north to Knoxville, or west to Asheville and beyond – hit up the restaurants on your way.

It’s dry and bubbly and best enjoyed alongside your favorite waterfront view. This gose style cider was originally created as part of our Pine St. Cellar Series. If you are not familiar with our cellar series, here’s a quick run down:\nWe developed this line of ciders as a homage to our home base on Pine St. in Burlington, VT and the ciders we have developed here in the cellar. The Pine St. Cellars are limited batch ciders that use experimental fermentation conditions and unique ingredients to allow us to explore the potential that exists in ciders that use real fruits and local ingredients. These ciders are only available in our Tasting Room, the batches are very limited and rarely made twice.\nso, who remembers Cori-Anderson?\nShout out to a former cider maker, Anderson for the idea behind this tasty cider!\nHi Anderson! we miss you.\nFrom there Cori-Anderson quickly became a fan favorite, so we decide to transition this delicious cider into our Origin Series, where Cori-Anderson became High Tide.\nLast May we released High Tide in 12oz cans. The Good Citizens loved this gose style cider so much, that we sold out – too quickly! The people spoke and we listened, so we decided to introduce this cider into our year round cider line up. With that, came another name change, a can design update AND more FL oz. It’s no secret that in the beverage industry there are always trade mark issues. When deciding to make this cider available year round and more widely distributed we needed a name that wasn’t being used by so many different beverage companies.\nand so, for shore was born\nAlong with the new name came the opportunity to work with the Lake Champlain Committee, a local non-profit dedicated to protecting our shores.\nCitizen Cider is located on the shores of the mighty Lake Champlain. We care about the lake, we rely on the lake for our water and our livelihood as cider makers in Burlington. Over the past few years during the summer months our local lake has run into many issues. as a community we have seen beach closures, boating restrictions and many other issues that are directly impacted by the cleanliness of the water. Citizen Cider as a business decided to step up to the plate and see exactly how we could help.\nSo, Citizen Cider is launching the For Shore Campaign in partnership with The Lake Champlain Committee to raise proceeds for direct, focused and immediate clean-up efforts. We are committing to $1 per case in cooperation with Farrell Distributing to be donated directly to Lake Champlain Committee and their efforts in Water chestnut harvesting, cyanobacteria collection monitoring and further their dedication to lake health and accessibility.\nWe are ready for some fun in the sun and want to make sure our lakes, rivers and oceans are ready too!\nFor you, For us, For Shore.\nWe are also partnering up with other organizations outside of VT.

Beyond its status as a colossal landmark, the High Roller holds a trove of fascinating details that many visitors may not be aware of. Let’s embark on a journey to uncover five lesser-known facts about the High Roller Ferris Wheel in Las Vegas.\n1. A Colossal Marvel of Engineering\nStanding proudly at 550 feet, the High Roller is not merely a Ferris wheel; it is an engineering masterpiece. Designed by the renowned firm Arup Engineering, the wheel boasts a unique spherical shape, differentiating it from traditional Ferris wheels. The engineering brilliance lies in the fact that the High Roller can withstand the harsh desert winds that sweep through Las Vegas while providing a smooth and stable experience for its riders. Its colossal height and distinctive design make it a symbol of both innovation and architectural prowess.\n2. Eco-Friendly Illumination\nWhile the High Roller dazzles with its multicolored LED lights, adding a spectacular glow to the Las Vegas skyline, there’s more to the illumination than meets the eye. In a surprising turn toward eco-consciousness, the High Roller features an energy-efficient LED lighting system. The lights not only create a vibrant and dynamic visual display but also contribute to reducing the overall environmental impact of the attraction. This blend of glitz and environmental responsibility showcases a commitment to sustainability in the heart of the entertainment capital.\n3. The Celestial Connection: Zodiac-Themed Cabins\nAs visitors ascend to the skies in the High Roller’s spacious cabins, they might be unaware of the celestial inspiration behind the cabin designs. Each of the 28 cabins is themed after one of the 12 signs of the zodiac. From Aries to Pisces, these cabins provide a unique and personalized experience for riders. The zodiac theme adds an extra layer of enchantment to the journey, making every rotation an opportunity for passengers to connect with their astrological sign while enjoying breathtaking views of the Las Vegas landscape.\n4. Happy Hour in the Sky\nFor those seeking an elevated experience, the High Roller offers a unique Happy Hour in the Sky. This innovative concept combines the thrill of riding the observation wheel with the pleasure of sipping on carefully crafted cocktails. The experience includes an open bar within the cabin, allowing guests to enjoy their favorite drinks while taking in the spectacular scenery. Happy Hour in the Sky has become a popular choice for those looking to add a touch of luxury and indulgence to their High Roller adventure, making it an unforgettable way to toast to the Las Vegas lights.\n5. The Marriage Capital’s Skyline Symbol\nAs the High Roller rotates gracefully, it offers more than panoramic views of the city; it serves as a symbol of love and commitment. The observation wheel has become an iconic backdrop for countless marriage proposals and weddings. With its breathtaking views and romantic ambiance, the High Roller provides couples with a unique and memorable setting to celebrate their love. The allure of saying “I do” against the glittering lights of Las Vegas has turned the High Roller into an unexpected but cherished symbol of romance.\nIn conclusion, beyond its towering stature and panoramic views, the High Roller Ferris Wheel in Las Vegas conceals a fascinating array of details that add depth to its allure. From its engineering marvels and eco-friendly lighting to zodiac-themed cabins, Happy Hour in the Sky, and its role as a symbol of love, the High Roller invites visitors to delve deeper into its captivating story. Whether you’re an architecture enthusiast, a stargazer, or a hopeless romantic, the High Roller offers an experience that goes beyond the expected, making it a standout attraction on the vibrant Las Vegas Strip.", "domain": "geography"}

It’s always a treat to be there during that time of year, and it’s always made better when working with a couple as laid back and cool as Brooke and Daniel.\nI first met up with Daniel as he was getting ready for the wedding. The guys — and gal — were relaxing, toasting and generally having a good time. I then moved over to Brooke’s room, where she had not yet arrived. I took the quiet moment to shoot some details before connecting with Brooke as she too began to put on her finishing touches. Brooke and Daniel chose to have a first look prior to their vows, and the beautiful foliage in Crawford Notch made the perfect backdrop for this moment.\nTheir ceremony took place on the spectacular Jewel Terrace, on the backside of the hotel, overlooking Mount Washington. As far as I am concerned, no venue in the region has a more stunning ceremony spot. I honestly could sit out there and stair at the mountains for hours! There ceremony included the typical readings and exchange of rings, but it also had a lot of much more atypical belly laughs.\nFollowing the ceremony and cocktails, guests moved into the Grand Ballroom for the party.

Land meets water meets land. Land surrounds water surrounds land. The landscape in itself reflects the many dualities with which Finns are quite comfortable.\nFinland is open to the Baltic sea, with the gulfs of Bothnia and Finland to the west and south-east respectively. Helsinki, the tremendously splendid and beautiful Nordic capital city, stands its ground with its various harbours facing Estonia to the south and Russia to the east.\nFinland is neighbour to Sweden and Russia and still feels their many influences, in language – all the signs are in Finnish and Swedish, both are taught in schools – and buildings. I recognised much Russian-influenced architecture, reminiscent of a visit to Hungary in 1991 when they’d only just loosened their border controls and bullet holes were still visible in lots of walls, scars of former skirmishes with soviet forces. I digress…but I brought something of that understanding of occupation, and independence, into my encounter with Helsinki.\nHelsinki airport sits in the northern district of Vantaa – the city itself has a core and several outlying ‘sub-cities’ now virtually merged into one. It’s the visitor’s first experience of the country as a whole and the Finns certainly use their airport to send messages to the rest of the world.\nOne of the first facilities to greet the weary traveller is a Chinese restaurant – not a cheap and cheerful bland copy of Chinese food as you’d find anywhere in the world. Real Chinese food, provided by real Chinese people – what better way to welcome visitors with whom newly developing business partnerships are actively being nurtured? The Finns are thoughtful people, a nation of planners and speculators, and the placing of a Chinese facility in a prime airport position is no accident at all. The city, the country, courts Chinese and south-east Asian business. It invites multi-nationals to use conference facilities in the city, in the hope, the expectation – no, the planned-in inducement – that these business people will return with their families to Finland as part of their European holiday explorations. They think things through, the Finns.\nThe second main ‘showcase’ within the airport is the shop of the Finns’ favourite design group, Marimekko. Vivid, bright, modern, colourful fabrics, accessories and trinkets tempt visitors and are a sign of things to come. Finns are artists and creators – the design district of Helsinki rivals that of any other major city.\nA Marimekko design on a Finnair ‘plane\nHelsinki is a city of competition and consultation. During my stay, posters and news articles declared the most recent developments in a competition for the design of the new Guggenheim centre. Public votes and comments were harvested daily. Waiters discussed the developments – in six or seven different languages – with visitors in cafes and restaurants. Helsinki residents enjoy this sense of collaboration and the feeling that their voices count because their opinions are based on both good knowledge and good sense.

Sherman issued Special Field Order No. 15 which confiscated as Federal property a strip of coastline stretching from Charleston, South Carolina to the St. John’s River in Florida. The order redistributed the 400,000 acres of land to newly freed black families in 40-acre segments. In a later order, Sherman also authorized the army to loan mules to the newly settled black farmers. This is the likely origin of the phrase “forty acres and a mule.” Unfortunately, the order was a short-lived promise for blacks. President Andrew Johnson overturned Sherman’s order in the fall of 1865 and returned the land to the planters who had originally owned it.", "domain": "geography"}

Beautifully drawn maps document Fernando de Soto's explorations and \"discovery\" of the river, as well as those of the Marquett and Joliet Expeditions. Other maps present key moments along the Mississippi in times of war (The French and Indian War, The War of 1812, The Civil War). More recent though equally artful maps and charts seek a scientific understanding of the river toward an end of controlling it, and gorgeous bird's-eye views ultimately extol the river's beauty and its environs above all else. A consideration of the Mississippi and its history as a major highway toward America's discovery of itself, through a comprehensive selection of the most beautiful maps dealing with it, will give new insight to the complex sometimes nostalgic, sometimes practical relationship of this country to its most storied river.

Currently, Fr. Brian Foos, Vicar of St. Andrews Church, Chester, California, is serving as Vicar of our Mission, appointed by the Bishop of the Diocese of Mid-America. We’re a traditional congregation with an average Sunday attendance of 25 and growing, and a strong love of traditional liturgy, using the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. We have been well cared for by our Diocese with 2 or 3 visiting priests per month for the last year. We have 4 Lay Readers who perform Morning Prayer on Sundays and Wednesday Evening Prayer when we do not have a visiting priest. Our church membership is diverse in age with young adults to senior citizens. We are enlivened by the presence of children, and seek to include them in worship, education and inculcate them in faithfulness. We’re hospitable, warm and welcoming. Our Sunday potlucks are legendary. Our congregation is very social. There’s much love among us and we are known for our close, familial relationships, as we socialize, work with and care for each other. Weekend bonfires at members’ homes are a time of regular gathering and fellowship.\nWorship and Meetings:\nSunday service is at 10:30 AM. Evening Prayer every Wednesday at 7 PM. Men’s study meetings generally on Mondays at 7 PM.\nWe aspire to own our own worship and education facility and to provide a Vicarage for the parish priest. Currently, we rent a store-front space in a small business plaza setting containing 4 or 5 businesses in a nice neighborhood. We also sub-let our space to a Serenity Group and Alcoholics Anonymous during the week. This is a mission activity with cost-sharing benefits.\nGrover Beach, California is located on the beautiful central coast of California in San Luis Obispo County. We reside in a safe, low crime area with seemingly endless opportunities for the family fun adventurer. Grover Beach’s population is 13,067, and it is one of the cities making up the “Five Cities” area, which includes Arroyo Grande (18,033), Pismo Beach (8,180) (a major beach and vacation destination which attracts many visitors from the nearby San Joaquin Valley), Oceano (7,260) and Shell Beach (now incorporated into Pismo Beach). The two largest nearby cities are San Luis Obispo, (population 46,052) and Santa Maria (population 107,353), both within 20 miles from Grover Beach. San Luis Obispo is home to 2 colleges: Cal Poly, a 4-year California State University noted for its business, agriculture, architecture, and engineering programs, and Cuesta College, a 2-year community college with active vocational and arts programs. Santa Maria is the center of America’s vegetable and strawberry production. It is also home to Allan Hancock College, which is a 2-year community college noted for its Performing Arts theatre and music programs. Our beautiful beaches, minutes away, are unique with opportunities to drive and walk on 20 miles of open beach and camp overnight. Minutes away from us are the California Coastal Mountains. We live in wine country, and there are over 300 wineries located in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. The “Five Cities” area is home to many horse ranches, citrus and avocado groves and vineyards. We are centrally located approximately midway between San Francisco (4 hours to the north) and Los Angeles (3 hours to the south). We are also 75 miles north of Santa Barbara. Our climate is exceptionally wonderful, with clean air, light population density and little traffic. This is small town California and is often described as California’s secret garden spot. San Luis Obispo County is one of the more expensive counties in the state of California.\nWe are members of The Diocese of Mid-America within the REC, whose cathedral church is located in Dallas, Texas, under the leadership of Bishop Ray Sutton, and Suffragan Bishop, Walter Banek.\nWe are a congregation seeking closeness to God through greater knowledge of scripture, church history, and the rich tradition of Anglicanism. We seek to use more fully the 1928 Book of Common Prayer in liturgical worship on Sunday and the Daily Office for weekly Morning and Evening Prayer and observance of the Feast Days. We seek a Vicar who is experienced and knowledgeable in the Anglican Way, church traditions, a capacity to enliven the faith of parishioners in a compelling and relatable manner. Our Vicar should also be caring and have a pastoral heart, and a passion to share the Gospel and our faith.\nEvangelism and Missions:\nWe seek a hard-working Vicar who will work alongside an equally hard-working Bishop’s Committee and congregation, reaching out to the surrounding community to spread the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and to share the unique beauty of Anglicanism.\nOrdination as an Anglican priest, a Master of Divinity at an REC recognized seminary, or our Bishop’s equivalent endorsement.\nTo apply, please email resume to firstname.lastname@example.org.", "domain": "geography"}

New technologies are emerging, while some have already failed (for instance, Google’s Project Loon (Project Loon, 2021)).\nThere are still 2 key players that could potentially replace classical broadband: * 5G technology * StarLink\nIt is highly unlikely that traditional broadband infrastructure will be available in Africa within the next 10 years.\nEven if construction were possible, the World Bank estimates it would require an investment of $100 billion to cover Africa by 2030, and “no single actor will be able to meet Africa’s 2030 target” (Senges, 2019). Such facts also offer perspective on statements about providing free internet, mobile networks, and TV in Africa from the likes of Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg or Virgin’s Richard Branson. Right now, the claims seem more like clever marketing plots, and the lack of motivation in this direction for many years supports this outlook.\n5G mobile technology\n5G remains a hot topic in the mobile world. There have been many controversies and much resistance to rolling out the new generation of mobile networks.\nThe main advantages of 5G are high bandwidth and reasonable deployment costs.\n5G has the amazing theoretical potential of 20 Gbps downlink and 10 Gbps uplink (Bhardwaj, 2021). However, real-world tests show that current 5G download speeds reach between 160 and 350 Mbps and upload speeds of 20 to 30 Mbps (Fogg, 2021). Although this throughput might be considered high enough, the real issue is the high response time making it almost unusable for certain businesses that rely more on low latency than throughput.\nOne major drawback of 5G is that each cell/station can only reach up to a few hundred meters, while K3 technology can provide stable links and full speed up to 50 km. With fewer K3 towers required, infrastructure installation costs are decisively lower. Also, 5G operational costs are up to 5 times higher than K3’s technology.\n5G coverage in cities is growing and is at about 15%. Typically, penetration in Africa and other emerging economies is almost nonexistent and is not expected to play a major role in the next 5 years (it is estimated that only 3% of the mobile connections in Africa will be on 5G by 2025 (Kazeem, 2020)).\nFigure 7 Global 5G coverage\nStarlink is a new technology aiming to provide global broadband internet coverage through a low orbit satellite mesh network. In its current beta stage, it promises up to 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload speeds. Starlink’s long-term goal is to reach the 1 Gbps download speed mark.\nAlthough Starlink can potentially disrupt the broadband market in the future, it is still in its infancy. It is currently unreliable, inconsistent, foiled by nearby trees, and has limited availability. Real-world usage shows actual download speeds even below 25 Mbps. (Patel, 2021)\nStarlink requires a near-perfect line of sight with its satellite. This becomes an issue in cities where high buildings obstruct clear views of the sky. Starlink’s website states: “If any object such as a tree, chimney, pole, etc. interrupts the path of the beam, even briefly, your internet service will be interrupted” (Starlink, 2021). In the end, this leads to poor user experience as many report interruptions, inability to hold online meetings, and low-quality video streaming.\nThere is no doubt the user experience will improve in the future as more satellites go into orbit. However, Starlink aims to cover rural and remote areas without proper broadband infrastructure. Hence, it is not a direct contender with K3 and 3air, as we aim for densely populated urban areas. Also, Starlink is years from becoming fully functional, while K3 technology has matured over the last decade and already has verifiable real-world applications.", "domain": "geography"}

As our first post, we'll cover our motivation for launching and sharing this adventure. As any story, this story started many years ago as a growth progression from smaller sail boats blending into larger adventures. In 2019, we decided to upgrade to a larger boat, specifically a catamaran. We finalized our selection to a Bali 4.8: a 48-foot sailing catamaran capable of open ocean voyages. A BluReverie provides a very safe and stable platform while able to accommodate 12 adults overnight very comfortably.\nWell as we know in 2020 COVID happened and the world changed. Manufacturing stopped and our boat was delayed. Finally, in January 2021, after almost 2 months of sitting inside a container, BluReverie arrived in San Diego, CA all the way from its factory in France. Without a doubt it was everything we hoped and more.\nAfter we picked up BluReverie in San Diego, we set sail to Mexico, then back up the coast to Catalina Island, Morro Bay, Monterey Bay, Half Moon Bay, and finally making our way back to San Francisco in June 2021, settling in BluReverie's new home at the Port of Redwood City.\nThroughout this experience, what became clear to us was our desire to share the experience with others. Spending overnight on a catamaran in your very own cabin is something that few get to experience. We wanted to make that more accessible. We wanted to create an experience more impactful than a dinner cruise or a sunset sail. We wanted to create an all-inclusive vacation that felt luxurious right here in the San Francisco Bay area where guests could come aboard to relax for a weekend getaway. A place where you can leave your stress and worries behind for a few days. This is the motivation behind BluReverie's Magical Sailing Adventure, a 3 day and 2 night all-inclusive stay aboard our catamaran as we sail in the San Francisco Bay.\nAre you ready to be whisked away? We can't wait to welcome you aboard!", "domain": "geography"}

The notorious Highwayman Higgins also lived in Knutsford.\nThe town’s Italianate buildings include the Gaskell Tower and adjoining early Council Offices now The Belle Epoque restaurant, the Ruskin Rooms and many others especially in Leigh Road where Richard Harding Watt and Henry Royce lived. The town has over 100 listed buildings including the Unitarian Church (Grade I listed) where Elizabeth Gaskell is buried. Also of special note is the Old Town Hall (Grade II) – currently the Lost and Found pub/restaurant, the Sessions Courthouse (Grade II*) – currently the Courthouse Hotel and Restaurant and St Johns Parish Church (Grade II*).\nThe highlight of the year is Knutsford Royal May Day which began in 1864. The procession winds its way through the town’s narrow streets finishing on the Heath where the crowning of the “May Queen” takes place. It occurs on the first Saturday in May each year when thousands of visitors descend on the town.\nKnutsford Heritage Centre has an archive of life in early Knutsford and a comprehensive record of Knutsford Royal May Day and its May Queens dating from 1864.\nFor more information about Knutsford visit one of the following websites:\nThe Gaskell Society: Official website for Gaskell Society news\nTo view a parking map in Knutsford, please click here.\nDid You Know?\n- Knutsford’s Origins were recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.\n- It is the childhood home of Elizabeth Gaskell who immortalised Knutsford in many of her works, particularly Cranford.\n- Knutsford May Day parade has taken place every year since 1864 (with a small break during WW1 and WW2) and since 1887 has been granted the name of Knutsford Royal May Day.\n- Home to the Millennium Tapestry created by 3,000 members of the local community, each road, street and lane can be seen along with over 500 everyday scenes. The three panels measure 12 metres in total, using 53 metres of canvas, 52 miles of wool and 150 needles in its creation.\n- Famous residents have included Henry Royce, co-founder of the Rolls Royce Motor Company.\n- Knutsford’s Great Race takes place every ten years. A 3 hour endurance race on all shapes and sizes of penny farthings, hobby horses and bone shakers, featuring teams and individuals from all over the world.\n- Richard Harding Watt was a wealthy glove manufacturer with a great love of the northern Italian lakes. The legacy of his many buildings around the town, although slightly eccentric, helps to make Knutsford the attractive market town it is today.\n- American General George Patton was associated with Knutsford in 1944 when he set up an HQ at nearby Peover with his troops based at Toft. He lunched with General Eisenhower at the Bells of Peover, where the table they dined at is still laid with fresh flowers today.\n- “Squire” Higgins, as he was known to his friends of the local gentry, appears to have been of good birth, although much of his origin is obscure. Taking residence in Knutsford about 1756 and becoming accepted by the community as a gentleman. such a life enabled him to become familiar with the layout of the houses of his hosts so that at a later date he was able to sneak back for a spot of burglary. Local folklore claims ‘Highwayman’ Higgins had a tunnel running under ‘The Heath’ to hide his booty. Higgins and his wife dined with their neighbours and he hunted, fished and shot with them.\n- Near the end of the 18th century Lady Jane Stanley, daughter of the 11th Earl of Derby, paid for pavements to be installed in Knutsford. She was a spinster who disapproved of any contact between men and women, even walking side-by-side. She therefore stipulated that the pavement must be so narrow that people could walk only in single file.", "domain": "geography"}

On the other side of the dike is the Groetpolder.\nMiddenmeer is the name of the village where we will welcome you and your motorhome. This amazingly beautiful part of the Netherlands has an incredible amount of thing to offer you. There is peace and quiet, art and culture, enough activities and wonderful nature. Woods, dunes, and sea are just around the corner. They are easy to reach via unexpectedly nice cycle routes. Just like fine terraces and plenty of shopping opportunities.\nThe former Zuiderzee village of Kolhorn, for example, is worth a visit, just at two kilometres. A little further away is the lively town of Schagen. Here you will find all the services you can think of. The route towards it takes you past extensive bulb fields. Turn right before Schagen and those same fields will take you to the coast. Not a beach lover? Then choose the other direction and visit the IJsselmeer town of Medemblik or enjoy a great fish catch in the harbour of den Oever.\nAt our Marnic Hoeve, you and your camper will find a beautifully located pitch in the middle of North Holland's nature on our own property. We are proud of our place of residence and like to share this pride. With this in mind, we take great pleasure in welcoming our guests.\nOnce you are installed on one of our paved grass pitches, you can go in all directions and enjoy beautiful walking and/or cycling tours across the West Frisian countryside. From our private jetty, you can easily take a refreshing dip in the Groetkanaal canal, unwind while fishing or play an old-fashioned game of jeu de boules with your travelling companion or one of the other camper van guests on the newly constructed court.\nAs standard, we offer you and your camper the four basic necessities: a pitch, Wifi, water and electricity. Discharging grey water and emptying the toilet cassette is also possible with us. Finally, there is a toilet and shower you can use. We do ask you to keep these tidy. Pets are welcome, by arrangement, at camper pitch Marnic Hoeve.\nBesides living, we both have our own company in the Marnic Hoeve. Coen is Agricultural Business Advisor and works with his team from the office on the ground floor. Margriet works from the first floor with her team for Stichting ZOdIEZiJN (mooidoormij.nl).\nThe name of the farm was invented by Grandpa Knook when he was allowed to lease the farm from the ‘Rijksdienst voor IJsselmeerpolders’ (Dutch National Service) in 1938. The name is a reference to the first names of Grandpa and Grandma Knook, but also to the Latin word Maritiem and the Greek word Nicola; or \"overcome by the sea\".\nTo make your stay at our location possible, there are expenses, and we ask a small fee. We charge € 19 for a stay in a campervan with two persons. This includes tourist tax and the use of Wi-Fi, water and for electricity.\nEvery day we do more than our best to maintain and beautify our living and working space and your place to sleep.

Currently, over a third of holiday dialysis treatments performed by Diaverum worldwide, actually take place with us.\nA True care-centred approach to dialysis travel\nWhile the d.HOLIDAY booking platform has been operational for a little over three months, the number of holiday treatments booked exclusively via the platform in Spain, currently represent over 10% of the total number of treatments booked through the platform on a group level. This places Spain in in the top 5 requested countries list. This early success is proof of our ability to be agile and evolve with emerging trends.\nMore than the online booking platform, d.HOLIDAY’s success can be attributed to Diaverum Spain’s holistic, True care-centric approach to holiday dialysis treatment. We are conscious of providing additional options to patients who may prefer to reach out through a phone call, or face-to-face conversation. Additionally, we help them shape their holidays, through our very own Travel Guide (watch this space for the Guides), as well as practical advice and information. Ultimately, our objective is this; to empower all patients to live out their dreams of travel, by providing them with the right tools and information to achieve this, with the full confidence that their life-preserving treatment can continue whilst on holiday.\nThe present and future of dialysis travel in Spain\nThanks to Spain’s tradition as one of the world’s most fascinating holiday destinations, our clinics’ strategic locations and our well-deserved reputation for being a leading provider of life-enhancing renal care, the d.HOLIDAY programme continues to grow rapidly. The patients we welcome are a balance between local and international; just over half of our visitors are from within Spain, who choose to spend their holidays in our beautiful country. From an international perspective, we welcome many visitors from the UK, Ireland, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as other countries. Andalusia is an extremely popular destination, as are the Balearic Islands, the Valencian Community and Catalonia.\nWith COVID-19 and global current events having a blanket impact on the travel industry, we have inevitably felt the effects of these as well. Despite these very serious challenges, we have been seeing encouraging signs of recovery this year, as the world and indeed dialysis patients, resume traveling.\nI have no doubt that our long tradition in dialysis travel, in combination with the dedication of Spain’s d.HOLIDAY team to empowering patients to live out their dreams of travel, whether locally or further afield, will be instrumental to this growth.”\nSpain Dialysis Holiday Coordinator", "domain": "geography"}

The pond is not maintained for swimming, but it’s not prohibited and many-a-dog have dipped their paws in and lived to woof about it. However, before sending Sparky in, know he’s swimming at your discretion.\nBattle Creek Dog Park\nIf your pup’s a “go big or go home” kind of canine, you definitely want to check out Battle Creek Dog Park. It’s the Great Dane of dog parks, coming in at 35 acres of fenced in off-leash freedom. Burn some energy by romping about the miles of trails, dash through the woods, then cool off in the pond… scratch that… in one of three ponds! That’s right, Princess can choose between two smaller ponds and one larger pond to ensure she never gets bored. The Battle Creek off-leash area is accessible from two parking lots at 2350 Upper Afton Road and 2357 Lower Afton Road.\nFish Lake Off-Leash Dog Area\nFish Lake Regional Park in Maple Grove is home to a year-round dog haven, offering 7 acres of fun at the Off-Leash Dog Area. The fully fenced area features open spaces for dogs to play together, wooded areas for exploring, and a separate space for smol fries to play. After you’ve sniffed every inch of the dog park, leash up and explore the paved trail that loops around the park, ending at the beach. The swimming beach is technically for humans, but there is an area off to the side where pups are frequently seen taking a dip to cool off after a long day of play.\nWhite Bear Lake\nSpanning 4 acres of White Bear Lake shoreline, Matoska Park offers a picturesque place to spend a day at the lake. You’ll find paths to sniff, shady areas to snooze, and a designated spot for dogs to wade into White Bear Lake. We’re sticklers for rules, and this one’s extra important: dogs must remain on-leash at this park, even when swimming. They allow leashes up to 30-feet, so unless your dog is the canine Michael Phelps, that should be enough lead to still have a swimmingly good time.\nMeeker Island Dog Park\nYour dog can’t spell Mississippi, but they sure as heck wanna splash in it! The Meeker Island Dog Park is located adjacent to the Meeker Island Historic Lock and Dam site, along the river at the bottom of the bluff. You’ll find the entrance to this doggy paradise along the Mississippi River Blvd trail. Rather than being fenced in, this park and beach is bordered by nature itself, so make sure the river and bluffs are enough to keep Buddy nearby.\nMinnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park\nYour social pupperfly is sure to meet friends at this popular spot along the mighty Mississippi. The Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park, located on the South side of Minnehaha Park, is the perfect place to feel at one with nature (which to your dog means peeing on every tree, and that’s totally cool here). This is a great place for a game of land or water fetch, just make sure to keep an eye on your eager explorer cuz this park is only partially fenced and we don’t need any runners ruining the day.", "domain": "geography"}

The state of New York, which has flirted with regulating the online card game for a few years now, appears poised for a real run in 2016.\nThere is already stand-alone online poker legislation on the table, and the proposal is also part of a possible budget deal. The state’s current urgency with regards to daily fantasy sports legislation could speed up the process of getting online poker approved, whether on its own or in an omnibus measure. Both DFS and poker stand to benefit from being skill-based games.\nNew York authorized a few new brick-and-mortar casinos in order to help struggling upstate economies, and it was said at an online poker hearing last year that bringing the card game to the Internet likely wouldn’t happen until the new casinos are built. However, that might not be the case anymore. According to a report from GamblingCompliance, one of the online poker proponents in the Empire State’s legislature said there might be motivation to get it done this year.\nAssembly Member Gary Pretlow, Chairman of the New York Assembly Racing and Wagering Committee, told GamblingCompliance: “If I can get assurances that the brick-and-mortar operations are all a part of it, then we will probably move the bill this year.”\nAnother indicator that New York might be ready to regulate an online casino game is the fact that on Tuesday the State Assembly passed a bill legalizing mixed martial arts, which is expected to be signed by the governor. New York would be the last state in the country to legalize MMA. AsThe New York Times pointed out, the state is warming to activities that it once viewed as illicit.\nRead the full article on CardPlayer.com.", "domain": "geography"}

This is especially true in the case of the Italian islands, where millennia of geographic isolation has created local cultures much different from mainland Italy, and on the northern Alpine borders, where many regions were part of the neighboring empires until very recently.\n(Photo by Leandro Ciuffo via Flickr)\nThe elegant city of Trieste is an excellent example of Italy's fascinating diversity. Located on the border between Italy and Slovenia on the Adriatic coast, this wealthy city has seen at least a dozen waves of invaders and rulers since the Romans. Most recently, Italy was granted the city after World War I and annexed the area from the former Austro-Hungarian empire. Though Trieste remained an intellectual hub and center for important literary and artistic movements, the rise of Fascism and campaign to transform this formerly heterogeneous city into a “città italianissima” led to attacks on and subsequent emigrations of the city's large ethnically Slovene population in addition to its Jewish population, which was the third largest in Italy.

The route provides plenty of time for acclimatization and takes in the entire scenery of the mountain as it practically traverses it from west to east. The access via the western route requires a bit longer drive to the trail head but is well worth it as you get to drive through some wild country and may even be lucky enough to spot buffalo or an elephant. During the first few days of the trek you will ascend the western flank of the mountain a side of mountain few visitors reach as you ascend through the lowland jungles to the Shira Plateau. After reaching Shira Camp 2 on the third day the remainder of the trek follows the traditional Machame Route and the number of trekkers on the trail increases. The fourth day of trekking is quite helpful for acclimatization as you ascend to the Lava Tower (15,000 feet / 4600m) before descending to the campsite in Barranco Valley. Another day of trekking brings you to the high camp at Barafu, which lies on a barren volcanic plain. Climbers spend the afternoon resting here before making a midnight summit push. It’s a 6 hour slog to the crater rim and another hour of traversing across the rim of the crater to reach Uhuru Peak the final summit and highest point in Africa.\nDay 1 – Kilimanjaro Airport to Moshi\nPick up from Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer to Moshi town which is known as the gateway to Kilimanjaro. Meet your guide and review your equipment in the evening in preparation for the trek the following day.\nDay 2 – Mti Mkubwa Camp\n(2900 m/9,500 feet), 6 km/4 miles (3 to 4 hours)\nIt is between 3 and 4 hours of driving to reach Londorossi Gate the starting point for the climb. It’s an interesting drive through some remote country so keep your eye out for wildlife. Another few hours of formalities with the park rangers at the gate and you will be on the trail. The trail goes through the lowland forests where you’re likely to spot the large Colobus monkeys which are fairly common.\nDay 3 – Shira 2\n(3875 m/12,715 feet), 16 km/9 miles (7 to 8 hours)\nThe first part of the days trek is fairly steep as you climb up out of the jungle and into the moorland ecosystem dominated by Giant Heathers and a variety of grasses and wildflowers. You will first reach Shira Ridge before the trail continues slightly downhill across the broad expanse of the Shira Plateau to Shira 1 Camp for rest and lunch. We then continue on to Shira 2 camp across the Shira Plateau, and are able to admire the Western Breach if the skies are clear. Today’s long day allows us more time to acclimatize at the higher camps with shorter days before our big summit day.\nDay 4 – Barranco Camp\n(3,983 m/13,066 feet), 10km/6 miles (5 to 8 hours)\nLeaving Shira 2 in the morning you climb towards the main peak Kibo, with the western glaciers clearly visible across the rugged high-altitude desert of volcanic rocks and boulders. The trail ascends to the Lava Tower site (15000 feet / 4600m) before descending back down into Barranco Valley. The area before the campsite is known as the “Garden of the Senecios”, which features many huge senecio plants as well as the shorter lobelia plants. Its 7 to 8 hours walking and the total ascent is only 110m total but having climbed much higher and dropped back down assists acclimatization.\nDay 5 – Karanga Camp\n(13,066 feet/3,983 m), 5 km/3 miles (4 to 5 hours)\nToday consists of a challenging climb up the steep Barranco wall (some scrambling but not technically difficult), easily one of the highlights of the trek. You’ll be able to admire the majestic views at the top before dropping into the Karanga Valley where we will break for lunch and spend the second half of the day resting and acclimatizing.\nDay 6 – Barafu High Camp\n(15,239 feet/4,645 m), 5 km/3 miles (4 to 5 hours)\nToday we make our final push to Base Camp, and we see our longer early days paying off on this day. Arriving to Barafu at lunch time allows us to spend the day resting our legs and preparing for the big push to the roof of Africa. After a hearty dinner you will retire to your tents for a little shut eye before we begin our climb at midnight.\nDay 7 – Uhuru Peak Altitude\n(5895 m/19340 ft) Walking Distance: 5 km/3 miles ascent + 12 km/7 miles descent (10-16 hours)\nThe day starts at midnight with the final push to the summit. It’s a cold and grueling six hour hike to summit rim up a steep slope. The trail is doable but steep with many switchbacks. The summit rim is reached just about sunrise and it’s a fairly level hike around the rim to Uhuru Peak the ultimate summit and highest point in Africa. Going down you will head back to Barafu Hut for a short nap and snacks before continuing down to Mweka camp (3068m / 10,065feet). One of the reasons for such a long day of trekking is to avoid problems with acclimatization and get you back down to a lower elevation quickly.\nDay 8 – Mweka Campsite to Moshi\n(3068m/10,065 feet) Walking Distance: 10 km/6 miles (3 to 4 hours)\nFrom Mweka campsite it is a 4 to 5 hours descent through the forest to Mweka gate to collect certificates and meet the vehicle.

You want to settle down in a city with a strong job market and good blend of Northerners and Southerners. You don’t want to deal with too many tourists or snowbirds but you aren’t willing to give up Florida’s beaches and spring-like winters.\nYou should definitely think about moving to Jacksonville.\nNestled snugly on the St. John’s River, Jacksonville is also a short drive from the Atlantic Ocean (be sure to pack your surfboard). In fact, Jacksonville is so appealing, it was #2 on Realtor.com’s list of Cities Gaining the Most Residents.\nRead on to see why “The Bold New City of the South” could be your new hometown.\nNew graduates, rejoice! WalletHub rated Jacksonville as Florida’s 4th best job market in 2016. More interested in the suburbs? Nearby Fleming Island was rated #3 for Florida’s Highest Median Annual Income and #1 for most affordable housing.\nThe area’s leading job industries are transportation and defense, and this shows up in the region’s top employers: Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Duval County Public Schools, Bank of America, and Baptist Health.\nDefense and transportation not your thing? Jacksonville has plenty of openings available…and plenty of company headquarters. CSX Transportation, Firehouse Subs, Florida Blue, Jacksonville Jaguars (of course) are all headquartered in Jacksonville and the PGA Tour headquarters are in nearby Ponte Vedra Beach.\nYou’ll be putting your degree to good use in no time!\nJacksonville isn’t that much farther north than Orlando (just a couple hours’ drive), but the temperature difference is significant. Jacksonville has an average summer high temperature of 89 degrees, and the lows in winter rarely go below 48 degrees. If you can’t decide whether you hate snow or sweating more, perhaps moving to Jacksonville is the perfect next step.\nJacksonville sees the same number of summer thunderstorms as Central or Southern Florida, but the area occasionally sees a few snow flurries, too. (It’s no White Christmas, but the real thing sure beats the fake Disney stuff.)\nNYC may be the country’s most populated city, but the largest city by area (in the lower 48) is Jacksonville. Taking up the entirety of Duval County, both Jacksonville and the surrounding areas have plenty of great neighborhoods to choose from.\nAvondale/Riverside: Technically two neighborhoods, this area first started booming after the Great Fire of 1901, when the city’s wealthy started building stately homes along the river. Today, Riverside/Avondale is a great place for hip, young trendsetters and medical professionals (St. Vincent’s Medical Center is nearby). The American Planning Association even included it in their 2010 list of Great Neighborhoods in America.\nOrange Park: Looking for a more rural, “Old Florida” lifestyle? Orange Park is a 45-minute drive from Downtown, so you’ll be far from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Homes are affordable (median home value is $163k), and the area is close to the Navy Station and filled with marinas. Whether you’re a horse lover, boat fanatic, or serving your country, Orange Park is the place to be.\nSan Marco: Located across the river from Avondale/Riverside, San Marco is a welcoming neighborhood for artists and creative types. Featuring plenty of 1920’s-era Mediterranean Revival architecture, San Marco Square was inspired by the Piazza San Marco in Venice, Italy. Whether you’re looking for a place to check out some community theater or just a relaxing place to grab a craft brew, San Marco is a great choice.\nThe Beaches: This area might be called “The Beaches,” but it actually encompasses four different neighborhoods: Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, and historic Mayport. Roughly a 30-minute drive from Downtown, The Beaches offer plenty of fun, sun, sand, and surf in the perfect location: not too far from the city, not too close.\nCost of Living\nThat entry-level salary won’t have you rolling in dough, so it’s good to find ways to stretch your paycheck. But Jacksonville’s got your back. On average, Jacksonville is 4% cheaper than Orlando, meaning a $50,000 salary could decrease to $47,000.\nHousing prices are where you’ll see the biggest difference. The median home price in Jacksonville is only $148k vs. $164k in Orlando; Jacksonville’s average rent is $1053/month vs. Orlando’s $1326/month.\nBetween the St. John’s River and the Atlantic Ocean, Jacksonville is definitely a water town. If you love fishing, boating, surfing, or any other aquatic activities, you’ll fit right in. Dry land more your thing? Jacksonville has the largest urban parks system in the country.\nIf you and your family love going out on the town, check out the latest events at Jacksonville Landing. Whether you’re into food trucks or festivals, you’ll find plenty to do.\nIf you’re a football fan, you might be tempted to change your new favorite team to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The fans in this city are diehard, and the stadium reflects the city’s commitment to the sport. EverBank Field, the team’s home stadium, was recently renovated to include larger video screens, updated club areas, and swimming pools!\nNo matter how much you love living in Jacksonville, you may need a getaway. Luckily, you won’t have to go far. Carnival and American cruise ships disembark from the local port.\nWith affordable housing, plenty of jobs, and more than enough to entertain you, moving to Jacksonville might be the first great life decision you make after graduation.\nBut—as with any decision—it’s important to do plenty of research before you commit to a new plan. Take a look at some of our other posts to see what other cities sound right for you. And call us for a free moving quote once you’ve made your decision. Our crew has moved people to every state in the country (except Alaska). We can help you, too!", "domain": "geography"}

The late Friday ruling invalidates an executive order Mr. Trump issued during his first months in office aimed to overturning the ban.\nThere is no ongoing commercial drilling in those areas, and the Alaskan oil industry has been hampered by low oil prices for years, limiting the immediate effects from the ruling. But it does raise questions about a long-awaited overhaul of the country’s offshore drilling plan the Trump administration was expected to issue in the coming weeks.\nThe Trump administration had proposed opening offshore areas around the country, including almost all of offshore Alaska. Though the draft proposal faced stiff opposition from several coastal states and environmental groups, an Arctic expansion had wide support from Alaskan leaders hoping for a revival and an oil industry interested in expanding its options.\n“This is a great victory for the Arctic, its polar bears, other wildlife and communities. It’s absolutely the right outcome under the law and for the sake of our planet,” said Kristen Monsell, a senior attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit challenging the Trump administration.\nA spokeswoman for the Interior Department said the department doesn’t comment on ongoing litigation.\n“From a long-term perspective, it is a central area when it comes to our energy policy and future energy production,” said Erik Milito of the American Petroleum Institute, the oil-and-gas industry trade association that was a party to the case.\nFriday’s ruling focuses on about 125 million acres of the U.S. Arctic Ocean and 3.8 million acres of the Atlantic Ocean, the latter focused on offshore areas from Maryland to Massachusetts. The decision to block drilling there came as part of a wave of last-minute environmental actions from Mr. Obama to “preserve a healthy Arctic ecosystem and protect our fragile Arctic waters,” Mr. Obama said at the time.\nMr. Trump issued an order in 2017 to overturn Mr. Obama’s action, part of his agenda to boost domestic energy production. But legal experts and analysts had warned that he may not have the power to overturn the ban under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act.\nU.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason agreed. That 1953 law includes a sentence saying the president may “from time to time, withdraw” from consideration any currently unleased lands in federal offshore waters. It has been invoked only a handful of times and doesn’t include a procedure for a new president to undo actions by a predecessor.\nJudge Gleason ruled that Congress had passed other laws that clearly authorized a president to revoke the decisions of a predecessor. This law had not, she said, concluding Mr. Trump didn’t have that authority.\nThe decision could face appeal. If it isn’t overturned, it would require Congress to act to open up many offshore areas the Trump administration had included as part of its expansion. That appears unlikely at a time when Democrats have control of the House and have prioritized climate-change policies to limit fossil-fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.\nWrite to Timothy Puko at firstname.lastname@example.org\nCopyright ©2019 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

It is located in Matabeleland, 439 km (273 mi) southwest of Harare, and is now treated as a separate provincial area from Matabeleland. The capital of Matabeleland North is now Lupane, as Bulawayo is a stand-alone province.\nColloquially Bulawayo is also known by various names, these being the ‘City of Kings’, ‘Skies’, ‘Bluez’, ‘Bulliesberg’ or ‘KoNtuthu ziyathunqa’ – a isiNdebele phrase for “a place that continually exudes smoke”. This name arose from the city’s historically large industrial base. The majority of the Bulawayo’s population belongs to the Ndebele ethnic and language group.\nFor a long time in Zimbabwe’s history Bulawayo was regarded as the industrial centre of Zimbabwe and the city served as the hub to the country’s rail network with the National Railways of Zimbabwe headquartered there because of its strategic position near Botswana and South Africa. It is the nearest large city to Hwange National Park, Matobo National Park and Victoria Falls.\nPopulation: 897 249 people (2016)\nLanguage : Ndebele, English\nThe rand is more commonly used in Bulawayo, closer to the South African …\nThe city sits on a plain that marks the Highveld of Zimbabwe and is close to the watershed between the Zambezi and Limpopo drainage basins. The land slopes gently downwards to the north and northwest. The southern side is hillier, and the land becomes more broken in the direction of the Matobo Hills to the south.\nDue to its relatively high altitude, the city has a subtropical climate despite lying within the tropics. Under the Köppen climate classification, Bulawayo features a humid subtropical climate (Cwa), though it is a drier version of the climate. The mean annual temperature is 19.16 °C (66.44 °F), similar to Pretoria at a similar altitude but almost 600 km (373 mi) farther south. As with much of southern and eastern Zimbabwe, Bulawayo is cooled by a prevailing southeasterly airflow most of the year, and experiences three broad seasons: a dry, cool winter season from May to August; a hot dry period in early summer from late August to early November; and a warm wet period in the rest of the summer, early November to April. The hottest month is October, which is usually the height of the dry season. The average maximum temperature ranges from 21 °C (70 °F) in July to 30 °C (86 °F) in October. During the rainy season, daytime maxima are around 26 °C (79 °F). Nights are always cool, ranging from 8 °C (46 °F) in July to 16 °C (61 °F) in January.\nThe city’s average annual rainfall is 594 mm (23 in), which supports a natural vegetation of open woodland, dominated by Combretum and Terminalia trees. Most rain falls in the December to February period, while June to August is usually rainless. Being close to the Kalahari Desert, Bulawayo is vulnerable to droughts and rainfall tends to vary sharply from one year to another. In 1978, 888 mm (35 in) of rain fell in the three months up to February (February 1944 is the wettest month on record with 368mm) while in the three months ending February 1983, only 84 mm (3 in) fell.", "domain": "geography"}

Though this apparent inferno receives less than an inch of rain a year and holds the world heat record, it actually harbours tiny gem-coloured lakes: the dehydrated reminders of a time when groundwater was much closer to the surface. 200,000 years ago, a lake the size of England spread across the sands, and ancient channels testify the existence of rivers, making the land not only tolerable, but farmable—human communities rose and fell with the water like a pulse. The Sahara Desert might have even been one of the paths our ancestors took on their journey out of Africa.

Here is our top 6 things to do while you’re in town:\n1) Visit the local penguins\nThe Stony Point Nature Reserve is home to over 2000 breeding pairs of endangered African penguins and offers one of the best attractions to visit in Betty’s Bay. There is a small entrance fee payable at the gate (R29 per person in 2020) which is a small price to pay for an up-close encounter with these unique birds who will happily pose for a photo.\nApart from penguins you will see up to six different species of cormorant including the endangered Crowned cormorant as well as a variety of other birds. Animal encounters here are bound to include spotting numerous ‘dassies’ (Rock Hyrax) running about and if the weather is good you will see crag lizards and blue headed rock agama’s right next to the wooden boardwalk as they lazily bake in the sun.\n2) Take a walk to Leopard’s Gorge\nIf an easy hike involving climbing ladders past waterfalls in the crevice of a mountain sounds like fun, you need to visit the Harold Porter National Botanical Garden. Make sure to tell them at the entry point that you plan to walk to Leopard’s Gorge as you will need a key to enter the walk which is only reached after walking a few hundred meters into the garden itself. It is not a strenuous walk but things can get slippery where you cross the stream as you enter the bottom of the gorge and get steep at times, especially as you climb up 3 series of wooden ladders on your way to the top. On you adventure you will see an indigenous forest landscape with orchids, mosses and ferns lining the path past pitch black fresh water pools.\n3) Go sandboarding at Blesberg\nOne of the highest natural sand dunes in Africa, the Blesberg dune behind Silversands beach is a whopping 250 m high and offers a potential run of over 400 meters of pure ‘sand surfing’. The dune can be accessed from Delport Road in Betty’s Bay but is located on private property. As with many activities in small rural towns a pre-booking is not possible as the experience is not advertised anywhere and there is no number to call. The custom is to knock on the door at the house at the foot of the dune and to ask permission to use the dune for which you will be charged about R20 per person. Sand boards can be hired from the local café, Centre Shop on Clarence Drive.\n4) Enjoy uncrowded surf spots\nMain Beach consistently delivers great surfing. In summer the beach slopes gently into the sea towards the Stony Point side often providing great opportunities with gentle left or right breakers depending on the direction of the swell, but it is in winter when surf is really up in Betty’s Bay. The winter storms from the North West pounds onto the beach causing the beach to become steeper as the sand shifts in the weather creating some spectacular breakers not for the faint of heart. The best part of it is the fact that there is usually hardly anyone on the beach, let alone competition for the waves and that alone makes it one of the best things to do in Betty’s Bay.\n5) Say hello to the Southern Right Whales\nBetty’s Bay is situated on the Cape Whale Coast – a region renowned for offering the best land based whale watching in the world. With many lookout spots over the ocean, it is easy to see the giants roaming the southern seas with Brydes, Humpback, and even Orca whales visiting the local bays, but it is during the months of June to the middle of December that hundreds of Southern Right whales visit the Cape coast and daily sightings are almost guaranteed. It is during this time that the Southern Right whales come close to our shores to mate and have their young.\n6) Enjoy amazing stargazing\nIt is fascinating how dark it gets in Betty’s Bay at night. There are no street lights and Cape Town’s lights are only a distant glow on the horizon. Unless the moon is full, you can hardly see your hand in front of your face when you stand outside at night and the stars are so bright it feels like they are right on top of you. Once you get over the sheer brilliance of the Milky Way as it stretches over the sky like some space highway you will easily spot the diamonds in the southern sky: Orion’s belt usually somewhere towards the north, the Jewel Box which is visible with a pair of binoculars and the 3 brightest stars in the sky which are only visible in the southern hemisphere: Sirius, Canopus and Alpha Centauri. The Southern Cross is permanently etched into the sky as its constant presence reminds you of the lines of the famous song Crosby, Stills and Nash song: ‘When you see the Southern Cross for the first time, You understand now why you came this way’.", "domain": "geography"}

The sebils are public fountains built at important crossroads, usually outside of mosques and schools. They provide drinking water for passers-by and travelers.\nThe Aïn el Acir Fountain is a unique piece in Algeria and is a real mix of styles : the beauty of the yellow and green moorish tiles combine with the white grecian marble carved in rococo style, an artistic and architectural trend that developed in Europe between 1700 and 1790.\nIt is the last of four monumental fountains from the Ottoman era located in the medina quarter, namely Aïn Jerada on rue Alger and Aïn Chraiet and Haoud Soukène on rue El Fida.\nThere were at that time thirty watering points managed and maintained by the « Caïd El Ayoune » appointed by the Ottoman Khalifa.\nContemporary winesses reported by historians say that this monument was the work of a single european captive during the Ottoman era. The fountain represented for the prisoner a way to redeem himself and so regain his freedom.\nDuring the French occupation it was wrongly referred to as the « Roman fountain » by the French who, on their arrival, thought it must be a Roman relic.\nIn 1913, a restoration of the fountain was achieved through the efforts of Captain Albert Maitrot of La Motte-Capron, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary celebrations of the famous Académie d’Hippone.\nIn 2016, the Town Mayor began the restoration work to return it to its original state.\n[…] English […]\n[…] English […]", "domain": "geography"}

Some of the many reasons for this fragility include armed conflict, inter-communal violence, economic decline, disease, and climate shocks, resulting in some of the world’s poorest health and development indicators.\nFrom December 2013, after only two years of independence, up to August 2018, when a peace agreement was signed between the many warring parties, South Sudan had remained locked in conflict. The severity of the crisis has led to thousands of lives being lost directly through fighting and indirectly through disease (among other causes).\nSince the outbreak of the crisis, 4.1 million people have become displaced, including 2.2 million who have fled to neighbouring countries, leaving 1.9 million others internally displaced. This has resulted in a nation that is now suffering from severe hunger and malnutrition, with one in three children characterised as acutely malnourished and 6.4 million people living with severe food insecurity.\nSouth Sudan - Public Health Crisis\nSouth Sudan is experiencing a public health crisis. It suffers from a heavy burden of malaria, which is made worse by violence and displacement. Displaced people are particularly vulnerable to communicable diseases, as exemplified by the increase in malaria outbreaks in recent years, in particular in the country’s camps for internally displaced persons (IDP), the Protection of Citizen Camps (PoCs) as well as refugee camps. Malaria has crippled more communities across the country than any other. With an estimated number of 1.8 million cases and more than 6,000 deaths in 2017 it remains the top public health priority in South Sudan. Other tropical diseases taking their toll on the health of South Sudan’s population include diarrhoeal diseases, Onchocerciasis (River Blindness), Lymphatic Filariasis, Visceral Leishmaniasis, Schistosomiasis, Soil-Transmitted Helminths, Trachoma and others.\nThe MENTOR Initiative aligns its approach with the WHO Integrated Vector Management (IVM) strategy and effective malaria case management.\nThe IVM package combines vector breeding site reduction and control (with WASH activities focused on surface water treatment, hard and soft waste management, and behaviour change) as well as direct protection from infection, through the implementation of:\n- Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS): Interior walls of human and animal shelters are sprayed with insecticide to ensure 6-9 months of control of malarial mosquitoes and other household insects.\n- Larviciding (Larval Source Management): Regular treatment of open surface water in the camps that otherwise provides a breeding site for malaria (Anopheles) mosquitoes and containerized water (drums, used tyres etc.), the preferred breeding site for mosquitoes (Aedes) that are capable of transmitting Dengue, Chikungunya and Yellow Fever.\n- Fly Control: Regular treatment of potential fly breeding sites, such as pit latrines, waste disposal sites, animal manure and open defecation sites to curb the adult fly population in an effort to prevent fly-borne diseases.\n- Medical Commodities: MENTOR supplies health facilities in its operational areas with medical commodities like Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) for diseases such as malaria, leishmaniasis, dengue fever and others, malaria drugs for treatment and prevention (in pregnancy) of malaria, syringes and more. Donations of medical commodities happen on a gap-filling basis to prevent stock-outs.\n- Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) messaging: Teaching safe vector-borne disease practices and how to prevent contracting the diseases. Examples are the use of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs), avoiding creating mosquito breeding sites, recognising disease symptoms and seeking early treatment as well as going for regular Antenatal Care (ANC) check-ups during pregnancy.\n- WASH Activities: The MENTOR Initiative implements hygiene promotion activities in targeted areas to increase community awareness and knowledge around inadequate hygiene practices whilst interactively guiding through feasible, realistic and effective behaviour change to prevent water-borne diseases.\n- Mass Drug Administration (MDA): The MENTOR Initiative has so far implemented two MDA campaigns in South Sudan. MDA is a means of delivering essential medicines based on the principles of preventive chemotherapy. Populations are offered treatment without any individual diagnosis taking place beforehand. The aim is to prevent and alleviate symptoms and morbidity and to also reduce disease transmission. MDA is the recommended strategy of the World Health Organization to control or eliminate several neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).\nMENTOR in South Sudan\nThe MENTOR Initiative began partnering with the Government of South Sudan and its country partnership of the United Nations (UN), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) as well as Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs) in 2012, in order to find effective, timely and scalable solutions to vector-borne disease control. Efforts have been made to reduce the heavy burden of malarial and other vector-borne diseases amongst the most vulnerable displaced and isolated communities affected by conflict, displacement, malnutrition and flooding, while also working to mitigate the risk and impact of disease epidemics. To date, MENTOR has focused support on communities in Warrap, Abeyi, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Upper Nile, Lakes and Unity states.\nBentiu PoC, Rubkona- Former Unity State\nThe MENTOR IRS campaign, supported by UNICEF, for 2018 in Bentiu PoC was completed in August, reaching a total of 117,204 internally displaced persons. IRS sprayers are also accompanied by mobilizers, who are tasked to educate households on preventing and controlling malaria through the proper use of mosquito nets, the signs and symptoms of malaria and treatment-seeking behaviour. MENTOR also treats mosquito breeding sites as part of its Larval Source Management (LSM) campaigns on a regular basis as well as potential fly breeding sites. To determine the impact the activities, have on the local mosquito population, a number of entomological sentinel sites routinely collect data on key entomological parameters, such as mosquito population density, the predominant mosquito species as well as mosquito resting and biting behaviours.\nMalakal PoC, Former Upper Nile State\nThe 2018 MENTOR IRS campaign in Malakal PoC, also supported by UNICEF, was completed in July, reaching a total of 28,372 IDPs. IRS sprayers are also accompanied by mobilizers, who deliver VBD IEC messages to all households.\nAs in Bentiu PoC, MENTOR also treats mosquito breeding sites as part of its LSM campaigns on a regular basis as well as potential fly breeding sites. Several entomological sentinel sites also collect data on key entomological data, such as mosquito population density, predominant mosquito species as well as mosquito resting and biting behaviours.\nMaban County, former Upper Nile State\nThe MENTOR Initiative has been active in Maban since 2013 and implements VBD control activities in all four refugee camps in the county. As of 2019, all camps combined are temporarily home to over 146,000 refugees, which have fled violent conflicts in the border region of South Sudan and Sudan.\nMENTOR’s yearly IRS campaigns, supported by the United States’ Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, target every shelter in the camps, just before the yearly rains start, to protect people throughout the malaria high-transmission season. IRS in Maban also protects people from sandflies, which transmit Visceral Leishmaniasis, a disease that is highly endemic in this region of the country.\nMENTOR also regularly carries out LSM and fly control activities. These activities are complemented by IEC sessions in the camps, whereby refugees are invited to learn about malaria and other VBDs, how to prevent them, signs and symptoms and when and where to seek treatment. The refugees can then pass the information and messages on to their family and relatives, resulting in a multiplication effect.\nFurthermore, training and technical coaching is being provided to health care providers and managers/supervisors from health facilities in and around the camps on malaria and other VBD diagnosis as well as correct treatment of diagnosed diseases. Additionally, MENTOR also supplies medical commodities to these health facilities to prevent them from experiencing episodes of stock-outs and the subsequent inability to correctly diagnose and treat tropical diseases.\nJamjang County, Ruweng State\nIn Jamjang County, MENTOR is active in two refugee camps since 2018: Pamir and Ajoung Thok. Like in Maban, the programme is supported by the United States’ Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration. The yearly IRS campaign targets both camps and protects over 65,000 refugees from disease-transmitting mosquitoes, which thrive during and after the rainy season as the result of an abundance of breeding sites. IRS in Jamjang also protects people from sandflies, which transmit Visceral Leishmaniasis, a disease that is endemic in the state.\nIn addition, MENTOR carries out LSM and fly control activities in the two camps as well as IEC sessions on malaria and other VBDs, how to prevent them, signs and symptoms and when and where to seek treatment. In Jamjang, MENTOR also disseminates health- and VBD-related information though radio shows.\nTraining and technical coaching is also being provided to health care providers and managers/supervisors from health facilities in and around the camps on malaria and other VBD diagnosis as well as correct treatment of diagnosed diseases. Additionally, MENTOR also supplies medical commodities to these health facilities to prevent them from experiencing episodes of stock-outs and the subsequent inability to correctly diagnose and treat tropical diseases.\nAweil East, Northern Bahr el Ghazal\nIn Aweil, MENTOR is involved in community hygiene promotion activities to reduce water-washed and water-borne diseases amongst the most vulnerable communities. Hygiene promotion activities increase community awareness and knowledge around inadequate hygiene practices whilst interactively guiding through feasible, realistic and effective behaviour changes. A list of community-based hygiene promotional approaches is applied to reach different levels of community structures with emphasis placed on household reach through door-to-door messaging and community hygiene sensitization meetings. Besides the community Health Promotion interventions, institutional hygiene promotion is also being conducted at health and education facilities, e.g. children at schools and mothers with malnourished children at an outpatient therapeutic feedings centre and peripheral health facilities.\nWestern Equatoria State\nIn 2018 in the state of Western Equatoria, the MENTOR Initiative implemented the second Mass Drug Administration campaign since 2017. Onchocerciasis and Lymphatic Filariasis were the targeted diseases, using a combination of two different drugs. The campaign was supported by Sightsavers and the END Fund.\nDespite ongoing fighting and displacement of populations, the MENTOR team managed to distribute the drugs to 562,561 people to treat and prevent both diseases, which can, among a multitude of symptoms, lead to permanent blindness and severe bodily disfigurement.\nThe Way Forward\nMENTOR remains committed to delivering health as well as VBD control and prevention services to the most vulnerable populations in different regions of South Sudan. With the security situation remaining fragile even despite the signed peace agreement, internal displacement is estimated to remain high. Neighbouring countries like Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Central African Republic experience political turmoil, with armed conflicts and ethnical clashes leading to people fleeing to South Sudanese territory and temporarily settling into makeshift camps. The country remains endemic for a multitude of tropical diseases, which can thrive in displacement settings. MENTOR will therefore seek to continue its current activities to reduce deaths and suffering from tropical diseases in South Sudan.\nPage last updated 09/05/2019", "domain": "geography"}

Within 650 miles of Charlotte are 55 of the country’s top 100 metropolitan areas.\nThe CHARLOTTE AIR CARGO FACILITY is a global hub for the world’s largest airline, a result of the merger of American Airlines and US Airways.

This gives companies in Charlotte greater flexibility in scheduling shipments. Air service to and from Charlotte is also exceptional, and continues to improve with the current development of the intermodal port facility which will combine rail, air and truck facilities adjacent to a new airport runway, significantly adding to the ease of shipping to and from Charlotte. The city has more than 60 freight forwarders, custom house brokers and professional international service providers, as well as a foreign trade zone, located next to the airport, for duty-free storage of goods pending shipment.\nCharlotte Douglas International Airport enjoys a nationwide reputation as one of the best-operated air transport facilities in the country.

For each area there is a map with suggested routes for hikers and cyclists, as well as information about the area and its flora and fauna. There are also tips about nearby places of interest, so that everybody is able to combine the visit to our natural treasures with other activities.\nThe project \"Naturschätze Südwestfalens entdecken\" was launched as part of the Regionale programme in May 2013. The Regionale is a structural funding programme of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, under which a different region is presented every three years and various projects are implemented to promote that region. The Regionale South Westphalia 2013 was implemented jointly by the five district authorities Olpe, Siegen-Wittgenstein, Märkischer Kreis, Hochsauerlandkreis and Soest, and was organized and coordinated by the South Westphalia Agency. The state of North Rhine Westphalia, represented by the Arnsberg District Authority, took over the financing of the project.\nThe aim of the project \"Discover the natural treasures of South Westphalia\" is to develop a multimedia nature guide for the 50 areas. Modern and classic media present the natural treasures. A pocket book was published in autumn 2014. Digital media round off the presentation. In addition to the project website on the Internet, there is a smartphone app which enables you to learn all about the natural treasures and navigate in the areas. From June 2016, it has been possible to call up videos or short audio files at certain points. Communal districts and municipalities can draw attention to the project by means of a traveling exhibition.\nThe Project Management Organisation is the conservation group Arbeitsgemeinschaft Biologischer Umweltschutz (ABU) in the District of Soest.\nThe project partners are:", "domain": "geography"}

We took the cable car up, which was pretty quick and then we went for a two and a half hour walk. The walk was long and tiring but it was worth it to just be in the nature away from cars, computers and noisy taxi drivers. I used my Nike + Sportswatch GPS to map and record the walk. It was about 5.8kms. You can check the map and stats here.\nWe went to Maclears Beacon, then Echo Valley and then landed back at the start. We found a cave that had writing, that must have been chiseled onto it, that dated back to 1891 ( if you don’t believe me check the pics). Inside the cave it must have been about 10 degrees. It was so hot outside that we sat down in the cave and had our lunch. I am pretty sure back in the day, someone lived there.

The city does not have its own public health department and receives doses from the county, but the uncertainty at the county, state and federal levels over how many doses are coming in per week has made long-term planning difficult.\n“We don’t know what we’re going to get,” said Christopher Covino, who helps oversee vaccine distribution for Mr. Garcetti. “Think of it like income. If I don’t know how much money I’m going to make next week, what do I buy? If you’re planning your life around that, it’s impossible. And if you’re planning a whole massive vaccination program where you’re trying to vaccinate 20,000 people a day, it’s an issue.”\nDodger Stadium was one of several mass vaccination sites to open at stadiums and convention centers across the country. The sites typically give out doses by the thousands in a drive-through format, allowing people to remain in their vehicles. But the mass-vaccine model has run into supply, technical and logistical problems. In Dallas, city officials struggled with technical glitches in its appointment registration system that led to people being turned away at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.\nTwo mass vaccine sites in Arizona, at State Farm Stadium and the Phoenix Municipal Stadium, were not in danger of running out of vaccine, but officials were limiting appointments at the sites based on the anticipated supply of the Pfizer vaccine, said a spokesman with the Arizona Department of Health Services.\nDespite shortage concerns, Los Angeles will continue its mobile vaccination program, Mr. Garcetti said. “We can’t afford to see the outbreaks and, quite frankly, the unequal deaths that we’re seeing in communities of color,” he said.", "domain": "geography"}

This can also be used as an aid to decision making in other questions concerning the drinking water supply. It is important for the method be transparent because the conditions and valuation criteria may change over time and may be affected by various events such as, for example, outbreaks of water-borne disease. In such a case, it will be possible to work back through the chain and adjust the criteria or ranking without needing to start again from the beginning.\nThe method that has been developed in the project has been applied to a number of case studies concerning different types of issue. These include providing data for analyses of a municipal water supply plan as well as providing data for choosing a long-term sustainable water and wastewater supply in a transformation area. It has also been used to provide support for analysis and comparisons between different water resources or water intakes as data for strategic choices, including the analysis of different alternatives and strategies for backup water supply in Stockholm County. In connection with the applications, the method has been tested from different angles and contexts, which has resulted in its subsequent further development.\nGIS support for prioritising parasite sources – evaluation of proliferation models\nThe Cryptosporidium and Giardia parasites have caused expensive outbreaks of water-borne diseases in Scandinavia in recent years. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) can be helpful in localising the sources of proliferation in the run-off area and, combined with hydrological modelling, constitute a powerful tool for analysing the health risks of raw water.\nThe aim of this project was to evaluate the usefulness of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) for analysing the origin and proliferation of E. coli as well as other species of the Cryptosporidium parasite in surface water intakes. An interdisciplinary project group and a reference group with the authorities concerned has assisted in assuring the quality of the model design.\nThree SWAT models were set up, two within the run-off area for the Göta Älv river (the Slumpån river and upstream of Trollhättan’s raw water intake) and one in Lake Mälaren’s run-off area (upstream of Stäket). The sources of proliferation included municipal wastewater (emissions from sewage treatment plants and overflow points), private wastewater, muck spreading as well as grazing stock.\nIn order to give a representative picture of probable and relevant conditions, modelling was performed for various scenarios. Five base scenarios (S0A-S0E) were chosen to describe probable situations regarding the spread of faecal material and various levels (prevalence) of Cryptosporidium infection in humans and animals.\nSeven action scenarios (S1-S7) were analysed, where the effect of the measures taken in the run-off areas were presented as a log-reduction compared to the base scenario, S0D. The best fit to the modelled and measured levels of E. coli were in the Trollhättan model area. For this area, an infection risk analysis (MRA) was performed.\nThe run-off areas with relatively detailed information on point sources and diffuse sources (Slumpån river) are better suited for analysis with the SWAT tool compared to the large run-off areas where there is scanty information about the point sources (Lake Mälaren) or where the inflow to the model area largely controls the microbiological levels at the outflow node (Trollhättan). SWAT could possibly be used for calculating the proliferation of other pathogens, for example norovirus.\nGround water that is safe for health in a changed climate: Microbial risk analysis\nThe influence of wastewater is a common cause of water-borne infections in the production of drinking water based on ground water. For municipal ground water intakes, the awareness and opportunities for protection are presumably greater than is the case for private drinking water wells, but even in these facilities, water-borne infections occur. For municipal drinking water treatment plants taking their supply from surface water, microbial risk analysis (MRA) has been in use for several years as a tool to estimate the infection risk for a specific system, where the raw water quality and separation in preparatory stages during normal operation and during impaired function affect the risk. For ground water treatment plants, the industry has lacked an analysis tool for quantifying the microbiological risks, this includes for assessing the barrier effect in saturated and unsaturated zones.\nIn this project, a MRA tool has been developed and implemented to estimate infection risks for municipal ground water treatment plants and for private drinking water wells. The project, which was performed jointly with drinking water researchers at Chalmers, included:\n- Identifying ground water intakes subject to microbiological risks, describing sources of proliferation and microbiological barriers;\n- Based on literature studies, selecting methods for estimating the reduction of bacteria, viruses and parasites in saturated and unsaturated zones;\n- Establishing estimation models in the Analytica® software, where this information is used for the risk analysis of municipal ground water treatment plants;\n- Implementing the MRA tool in three case studies at municipal ground water intakes;\nWhile groundwater intakes with natural infiltration may be exposed to pathogens from small drains, leaking sewers and muck spreading, basin infiltration means that large volumes of the surface water are infiltrated, with a consequently potentially large risk for a small unsaturated zone and short transport times. Viruses from humans, for example the norovirus, are the category of pathogens with the best chances of penetrating soil strata; however, the transport, and thus the risk, is controlled by both natural and operational factors.\nAn MRA tool for ground water treatment plants has been developed in Analytica®, where the results from field tests are implemented in the calculation modules for bacteria, viruses and parasites in unsaturated and saturated zones. A calculation module has been set up for modelling the transport of viruses in saturated zones. The MRA tool builds on the existing model for surface water treatment plants and, thus, can be easily extended with additional preparation steps, such as UV light. The tool has been evaluated in several case studies; two in the ground water intakes at Forslunda in Umeå Municipality and one in Magra, Alingsås Municipality. The results from the analyses have been presented and discussed with each municipality.\nMethod for formulating water protection regulations\nThe formulation of water protection for municipal sources of water is a hard and extensive process. The study aims at developing a method to streamline the work with formulating regulations as well as to raise the quality and the legal security. This has included developing the coupling between the regulations and a risk analysis.\nThe regulations drawn up must be legally sustainable. Regulations are frequently questioned. In the study, the possibility of considering case law as early as the formulation of the regulations was investigated. It must be possible to justify the restriction levels selected. Today, there are no recommendations on how this process should be pursued and documented. In many cases, the available recommendations are contradictory and difficult to apply in practise. The conclusion is that they need to be revised and developed, this includes taking into consideration other legislation.\nIn the study, case law and guideline judgements, where water protection regulations were examined, were inventoried. The bodies from which such decisions and judgements were taken include the Government, the Land and Environmental Court and the Supreme Administrative Court. A comparison was then made with the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s general recommendations.\nIn the project, a method was developed for making risk assessments and how this should lead to a risk level. A specification of what constitutes risk in an activity. For example, pesticides can involve a risk during transport, storage and spreading. The different risks associated with the example of pesticides may need to be described and regulated in different ways. The method will make possible structured work including risk assessment.\nIn the project, a method was identified for describing the conditions for ground water movements in a significantly easier way than is the case in conventional hydrogeological surveys.\nIn the “Slug-interference” method, wave movements in the ground water are used to determine the ground’s properties. A pressure wave is induced at one point and it is read off at several other points. The calculation program transforms the wave movements measured into hydrogeological parameters. A suitable program has been selected for this purpose and the method will be evaluated in trials and compared to conventional methods.\nClient: Sven Tyréns Stiftelse", "domain": "geography"}

Since Colorado and Washington became the first states in the US to legalize recreational cannabis in 2012, Alaska, Oregon, Vermont, California, Nevada, Maine, Illinois, Michigan, Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia have all followed suit, with even more states allowing medical marijuana or decriminalizing cannabis in lieu of full legalization.\nSo, Is CBD Oil Legal in Mexico?\nThe U.S. isn’t the only country experiencing widespread cannabis reform. As of October 2018, cannabis has been fully legalized in Canada, making it the 2 nd country to do so after Uruguay in 2013. States in the US continue to legalize each year with federal legalization looming on the horizon. But what about our neighbors to the south? Is cannabis, or CBD oil for that matter, legal in Mexico?\nIn 2009, in an effort to decrease cartel activity, Mexico decriminalized marijuana, allowing possession of up to five grams with no ramifications. Ten years later, Mexico is yet to legalize marijuana officially, however, in October 2018, the Supreme Court ruled that blanket prohibition of marijuana was unconstitutional and impeded on citizens’ rights to “personal development.” This was the fifth time the court had come to such a verdict – an important detail in this case, because in Mexico, once a similar verdict has been reached five times in the Supreme Court, it becomes the set standard.\nAs a result of this new standard, it is now up to Mexico’s federal courts to ultimately decide the legality of recreational use, possession, and growing of cannabis. The October ruling established a one-year deadline for a vote on legalization. But an onslaught of lobbying from cannabis companies has impeded the process, and that deadline has been extended to April 30, 2020, as the many complexities of a new legal market across an entire country – requiring input from both lawmakers and the public – continue to be addressed.\nIn 2017, Mexico legalized medicinal use of cannabis containing less than 1% THC, opening the doors for CBD distribution and consumption nationwide. After the 2018 Supreme Court ruling, no less than 38 over-the-counter cannabis products were approved by the Mexican Federal Commission for the Protection Against Sanitary Risks (the equivalent of the Food and Drug Administration in the US). These CBD products, which include food supplements, cosmetics, edibles, and raw materials, are now available for retail purchase in Mexico.\nMexico is poised to legalize marijuana at any moment. When it does, 125 million adults will have access, making it the largest market for cannabis in the entire world as far as individual countries go. The magnitude of regulating such a market carries with it enormous complexities, meaning it will likely be years before a fully regulated market is established. In the meantime, dozens of legal full spectrum CBD oil and CBD capsules are available across the country, and the recent Supreme Court ruling should act as sufficient peace of mind for cannabis enthusiasts of all persuasions.\nSo, is CBD oil legal in Mexico? Not sure of the legalities surrounding it when traveling in the country? Read our guide to CBD oil in Mexico here.\nWholesale CBD Oil in Mexico\nWant to be the first to know when we start serving in Mexico?\nEnter your email below & we’ll notify you the moment we open in your market!\nWholesale CBD oil in Mexico ? Unfortunately, Joy Organics does not currently serve this market.\n2018 was a huge year for hemp. Many countries took bold steps in approving this plant for supplemental use. Perhaps no country made a bigger statement than Mexico. After legalizing medical cannabis in 2017, the North American country upped the ante in 2018. Mexican officials allowed 38 over-the-counter CBD products to hit the market. That is why now is the time to find a high-quality CBD oil wholesale distributor in Mexico.\nWhy Use CBD Products?\nPresident of HempMedz Latin America, Raul Elizalde, stated, “The Mexican government understands that CBD is not a danger to public health, so regulating quantity just doesn’t make sense.” As Elizalde explained, scientific researchers have found that even extremely high quantities of CBD do not cause adverse side effects in users. That is why CBD is such a potent extract.\nHow to Use CBD Products\nNot only does CBD support wellness, but it can also be used in a variety of ways. This is what makes joining a wholesale program so worthwhile. You can establish a partnership with a company that allows you to provide your clients with choices!\nSome of the most popular ways to supplement with CBD products include:\n- CBD Tinctures.\n- CBD Vape Pens.\n- CBD Salves/Lotions.\n- CBD Pet Treats.\n- CBD Isolate.\n- CBD Flowers.\n- CBD Crystals.\nHowever, this is just the beginning for CBD in Mexico. With much of the country jumping on the CBD bandwagon, the industry is expected to boom. Cannabis products are expected to hit $57 billion globally by 2027, and CBD products will make up a large chunk of that. Get ahead of the wave by partnering with a CBD wholesale program in Mexico.\nHow to Get Wholesale CBD Oil in Mexico\nOne of Elizalde’s concerns is that pharmaceutical companies are trying to patent CBD in Mexico. However, you can’t patent a botanical compound. Right now, there are many ethical and sustainably sourced CBD products out there. Partner with a respected company before the industry becomes muddled.\nConsider one of the following brands for your CBD wholesale partnership in Mexico:\nAs you can see, only a few companies have a presence in Mexico. With time, this list will grow. Eventually, the field may become watered down with cheap imitations. Right now is the time to strike and partner with a reputable CBD wholesale company with a proven track record.\nWholesale CBD oil in Mexico? Officials allowed 38 CBD products to hit the market. Now is the time to find a high-quality CBD oil wholesale distributor.", "domain": "geography"}

The challenge for urban planners will be to apply all of these city characteristics together, to generate a sense of hope through a combination of new technology, city design and community-based innovation, which together will create the Resilient City.\nThe first is city model is the Renewable Energy City.\n1. Renewable Energy City. Urban areas powered by renewable energy techniques and technologies from the region to the building level. Renewable energy enables a city to reduce its dependence on fossil energy and its ecological footprint and if using biological fuels can be part of a city’s enhanced ecological functions.\nRenewable energy production can and should occur within cities, integrated into their land use and built form, and comprising a significant and important element of the urban economy. Cities are not simply consumers of energy, but catalysts for more sustainable energy paths. Cities can become more and more a part of the earth’s solar cycle.\nWhile some solar city projects, such as those in the indented paragraph below, are underway (including Treasure Island in San Francisco) there are presently no major cities in the world that are powered entirely by renewable energy. Vauban is a 100% renewable suburb in Freiburg, Germany. Cairo has a plan for 20% renewable energy by 2020 based on wind and solar. Movement towards a renewable-energy future will require much greater levels of commitment from cities themselves-from the local governments and municipalities, large and small that make up metropolitan areas.\nUrban planning is necessary to create the infrastructure needed to support solar and wind power at the scale necessary to help power a city. While finding locations for large wind farms near urban areas has been controversial (such as the wind farm proposal that was defeated off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts), there are significant opportunities to harness solar and wind power. Studies are also now showing that wind, like PV solar can be integrated into cities and their buildings. A study from Stanford University examined the potential for wind power in regions and in cities. Researcher Cristina Archer said “The main implication of this study is that wind, for low-cost wind energy, is more widely available than was previously recognized.”\nHydro power has been used in cities such as Vancouver, British Columbia and Christchurch, New Zealand, for decades. Few people see much more potential for hydro power due to the impact of large dams but the role of geothermal power appears to be offering a similar level of base load renewable power.\nDongtan, Masdar and North Port Quay – renewable city models for the future.\nDongtan. . . “It is designed to be a beautiful and truly sustainable city with a minimal ecological footprint. The goal is to use Dongtan as a template for future urban design. As China is planning to build no less than 400 new cities in the next twenty years, Dongtan’s success is of crucial importance.” — World Business Council of Sustainable Development\nDongtan is a new Chinese city near Shanghai which is designed to use 100% renewable energy in its buildings, it will be self-sufficient in water and food sourced from the surrounding farmland, and it will feature a zero-carbon public transport system powered entirely by renewable-energy. What happens to cars in the city is not yet clear. Energy plant will burn rice husks, normally just waste, near the city center and the energy will be generated on a decentralised model, using combined heat and power.\nMasdar City in the United Arab Emirates is an important first example of a city built from scratch with 100% renewable energy and zero car use (in theory anyway). It is being built with a 60MW Solar PV plant to power all construction, and eventually a 130MW Solar PV plant for on-going power as well as a 20MW Wind farm and geothermal heat pumps for cooling buildings. Electric automatic pod cars on an elevated structure will be the basis of the transport.\nNorth Port Quay in Western Australia will be home to 10,000 households and is designed to be 100% renewable through solar PV, small wind turbines called wind pods and a nearby wave power system. The development will be dense and walkable with an all-electric transport system featuring electric public transport and electric private transport all linked to the renewable power through battery storage in the vehicles (see Went, Newman and James, 2008).\nNew models of how we can make cities 100% renewable are needed but rebuilding our present cities is just as important. Cities like Adelaide have gone from zero to 20 percent renewable energy in ten years by building four large wind farms.\nThe shift in the direction to the renewable city can occur through many actions: demonstration solar or low energy homes created to show architects, developers, and citizens that green can be appealing, procurement actions that source regionally produced wind and other renewable energy to power municipal lights and buildings and locally and green building standards and requirements for all new public as well as private buildings.\nFew cities have been as active in seeking and nurturing a reputation as a solar city as Freiburg, Germany. Known to many as the “ecological capital of Europe” Freiburg has adopted an impressive and wide-ranging set of environmental planning and sustainability initiatives, many focused on renewable energy. Through its Solar Region Freiburg program, the city has sought to actively support solar energy as an important element of its economic base, and even a form of local tourism. A series of “solar tours” have been organized, for instance, as a way to visit and learn about their innovative solar energy projects in the city. And there are many such projects, from dramatic individual residences (e.g. Rolf Disch’s Heliotropic House) to prototype experimental homes (e.g. the Freiburg zero-energy house) to business structures (e.g. the zero-emission Solar Fabrik, the Solar Tower, high-rise office building), and public buildings and installations. The city has also become home to an impressive number of scientific and educational organizations dedicated to renewable energy to ensure it has an economic edge in the next industrial era.\nFreiburg has, moreover, incorporated solar energy in all major new development areas including Resielfeld and Vauban, new compact green growth areas in the city. Both active and passive solar techniques are employed in these projects, and the city also mandates a stringent energy standard for all new homes. In Vauban, some 5,000 zero-energy homes—homes that produce at least as much energy as they need—have been built and a zero energy office complex was added in 2006, along with two solar garages where PV covers the roof of the only allowable parking in the area.\nThis emphasis on solar energy has in turn set the tone and context for what other businesses and organizations could do. The Victoria Hotel in the center of Freiberg, for instance, now markets itself as the world’s first zero-emission hotel, boasting that all its energy needs are satisfied through renewable energy sources, including solar hot water and photovoltaic panels on the hotel’s rooftop. A host of other environmental features are employed, including providing all guests with free transit passes for riding the city’s exemplary public transit system.\nThe City of Adelaide, in the State of South Australia also envisions itself as a renewable city, as a part of its larger green city initiative. It has designated solar precincts for the installation of photovoltaics on the rooftops of buildings, including Parliament House. There is a solar schools initiative, with the goal of 250 solar schools (schools with rooftop installations, and that incorporate solar and renewable energy into their educational curricula). This idea has since been taken up by the new Australian Federal government to be applied to every school in the country. And most creatively the city has been installing grid-connected PV street lamps that produce some six times the energy needed for the lighting. These new lights are designed in a distinctive shape of a local mallee tree. This is one of the few examples of solar art or solar ‘place’ projects.\nAlong with incentives (financial and otherwise), solar cities recognize the need to set minimum regulatory standards. Barcelona has a solar ordinance, which requires new buildings and substantial retrofits of existing buildings must obtain a minimum of 60 percent of hot water needs from solar. This has already led to a significant growth in that city in the number of solar thermal installations.\nTransport can also be a major part of the renewables challenge. The more that public transport moves to electric power the more it can be part of a renewable city. Calgary Transit’s creative initiative “Ride the Wind” provides all the power needed for its light rail system from wind turbines in the south of Alberta. Private transport can now also be part of this transition through a combination of electric vehicles and new battery storage technology (together called Renewable Transport by Went, Newman and James, 2008 – see www.resilientcitiesbook.org). Electric vehicles not only can use renewable electricity to power their propulsion they can be plugged in during the day and through their batteries enable the power system to store four times their consumption in renewables. Thus they can provide a critical role in enabling renewables to build up as a much higher proportion of the grid. This breakthrough in technology will need to be carefully examined to ensure that cities use it to be fully sustainable and do not use it to justify further urban sprawl.\nRenewable power in a city enables it to use energy for creating healthy and livable environments without anything like the impact of fossil fuels. But by itself it will not be enough.\nCheck back next week for the #2 city model resulting from innovations of resilient cities.\nWhat do you think? Leave us a comment.\nPeter Newman is Professor of Sustainability at Curtin University in Perth, Australia. He is the co-author of Cities as Sustainable Ecosystems, Green Urbanism Down Under, and Resilient Cities: Responding to Peak Oil and Climate Change.\nPeter Newman is a renowned Australian academic and planner who invented the term ‘automobile dependence’ to describe how we have created cities where we have to drive everywhere. For 30 years since he attended Stanford University during the first oil crisis, he has been warning cities about preparing for peak oil. Peter’s book with Jeff Kenworthy, Sustainability and Cities: Overcoming Automobile Dependence was launched in the White House in 1999. Newman is the Professor of Sustainability at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia, where he is best known for his work in reviving and extending the city’s rail system. From 2001-2003, Newman directed the production of WA’s Sustainability Strategy in the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. It was the first state sustainability strategy in the world. From 2004-2005, he was a Sustainability Commissioner in Sydney, advising the government on planning issues. From 2006-2007, he was a Fulbright Senior Scholar at the University of Virginia Charlottesville and he returned there in early 2008 as Harry Porter Visiting Professor. His new book with Tim Betaley and Heather Boyer in late 2008 will be Resilient Cities: Responding to Peak Oil and Climate Change.", "domain": "geography"}

Unlike most other countries where you need to go from one check in port to another, Thailand allows you a flexible 3-5 days to travel from Langkawi to Phuket, which allows you to explore these beautiful islands (Koh) along the way.

We wait patiently for a break in the tourist boats and then swim in and have the place to ourselves for about 4 minutes. Still, very pretty\nFor our final day in Thailand, we head back to Koh Lipe, and have a terrible night of weather, where we up anchor at 11pm as the wind has swung and many other boats in the anchorage are dragging. It’s a wild couple of hours, but eventually we head back up to another location and pick up a mooring that we had used earlier in the day.\nAnd that’s it, we are back in Langkawi prepping to leave the boat for 6 months (or so we thought)\nAnd then COVID happened", "domain": "geography"}

It is a pride for France and no one visiting Paris can miss a tour to the Eiffel tower. Still, if you are not much interested in visiting this place then take a look at the most intriguing facts related to the history of the Eiffel tower. Definitely, after this, you will be planning a Paris tour to see the Eiffel Tower.\nBuilt for the 1889 World Fair\nMany of you might not be aware of the fact that the Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 World Fair and was planned to be demolished after twenty years from the completion of its construction. The fair was organized to mark the 100th anniversary of “the storming of the Bastille”, which is also known as the Prise de la Bastille.\nTower was called monstrous in 1889\nHistory sometimes reveals such facts that take you by surprise. One such is that the Eiffel tower after its construction was completed in 1889 was called by the Parisians and artists of that time as “useless and monstrous”. In fact, many of the Parisians also started a petition to get the tower dismantled.\nPlayed a great role during World War I\nIn the history of the Eiffel tower, Gustave Eiffel has played a very important role. His company not only led to the creation of an iconic tower but he also ensured that it remains free from the threats of destruction. He turned the Eiffel Tower into a huge radio antenna, thereby giving a new purpose to it. Interestingly, this helped the French military a lot in sending and receiving wireless messages. That is why even today the contribution of the tower is considered quite great in the WWI for French Military.\nNot designed by Gustave Eiffel\nAre you shocked to hear this? Yes, you might be and why not because all your life you must have heard that Gustave Eiffel designed the gigantic Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately, this is far from the truth as in reality the company – Compagnie des Établissements Eiffel of Gustave Eiffel was in charge of the construction of Eiffel tower. The tower was designed by two engineers who worked for his company – Maurice Koechlin and Émile Nouguier.\nBonus Point: Gustave Eiffel did design later the Statue of Liberty spine.\nCertainly, the history of the Eiffel tower must have impressed you, but the tower will overwhelm you far more than this. So, plan a trip to Paris and do not forget to visit the splendid Eiffel tower.", "domain": "geography"}

The FI-PI-LI is connected to the A1 motorway where you can enter directly in Florence: once you are on the freeway, follow it in the direction of Pisa-Livorno after about 40 km there is the Pontedera exit. Arriving from the A12 Genova-Rosignano motorway, to enter directly in FI-PI-LI, exit at Pisa Centro: once in the freeway, proceed towards Florence for about 20 km and take the Pontedera exit (caution) : from Pisa, the exit to take is not Pontedera-Ponsacco but the next one).\nOnce out in Pontedera, follow the signs to the center and park near Corso Matteotti.\nON THE TRAIN\nTo reach Pontedera by train you need to get off at the F.S station. Pontedera-Casciana Terme. The Pontedera-Casciana Terme station is on the Pisa-Florence route, about 15 minutes from Pisa and 40 from Florence. To get from the north or from the south you need to reach the Santa Maria Novella station by fast trains: from Florence SMN there are trains to Pontedera every 30 minutes. Arriving at the station of Pontedera, the PALP can be easily reached on foot in five minutes by exiting the main exit of the station and walking towards the center.\nThe nearest airport to Pontedera is Pisa’s Galileo Galilei which is about a 15-minute drive away. The Galilei is adjacent to the highway FI-PI-LI in which you can directly get out of the airport. Once in FI-PI-LI, follow it in the direction of Florence and exit at Pontedera. Otherwise, from the airport it is possible to take the Pisa Mover public transport that connects to the Pisa Centrale station: from Pisa Centrale a train leaves for Pontedera approximately every 30 minutes.", "domain": "geography"}

It can be really confusing to start comparing homes and realize that they have widely different price tags. But there’s generally some method to the madness. In fact, a good bit of research and statistics that go into determining what the worth of a home is. Both independent research organizations and government agencies track tons of data about the real estate market. Where homes are selling, what kinds of homes are selling, and what people across the country are paying for property. In short, all that research comes down to one truth: all real estate is local.\nSo much of what determines the worth of a home has to do with the location of that home. The U.S. is a big country with hundreds of major cities and thousands of small towns, each unique in its own way. What’s going on at the local level often determines what a home is worth.\nOne of the biggest factors driving the price of homes in a particular area is the economic law of supply and demand — how many homes are up for sale and how many people want to buy a home in that area. When there are plenty of homes on the market but not as many people want to buy, the prices of those homes fall. Demand is below supply.The opposite happens to prices when an area is very desirable but there aren’t many homes up for sale.\nPrices can also be affected by neighborhood perks. A home near a nice park, trendy retail area or restaurants, or other feature can be worth more than a similar home that’s further away. School districts can have a pretty sizable effect on value, too. Even if you don’t have kids and don’t plan to, buying a house in the top local school district means a higher price tag. Homes in a top school district can even hold their value better in an economic downturn.\nSales of comparable homes in the same or a similar neighborhood can also influence the value of a home. In a neighborhood where several houses have sold for more than their asking price, a similar home might be able to command a similarly up-sized price. Unfortunately, the same factor can work also against you. If you’re selling a house after several similar, nearby homes sold for cheap, you may end up with lower bids.\nOf course, local conditions aren’t the only factor that affects home prices. Other details can push a particular home’s price higher or lower. A home with unusual features or a unique history might sell for a higher price. A home that would make a good investment or that has good renovation potential might sell for more. Sometimes economic factors can affect home prices as well. High interest rates, a weak job sector, or tighter requirements for borrowers could all affect the supply and demand for housing, which could temporarily send prices higher or lower depending on the situation.\nWhat decides how all these perks and data add up to a price tag for a particular home? That’s generally the job of appraisers. Appraisers consider all the data, all the records, all the local perks and come up with a number.\nYou’ll get the full experience of a home appraisal when you choose what home to buy — a lender will require one to make sure the loan they give you isn’t worth more than your new home.", "domain": "geography"}

In addition, Mr. Styron took on the task of naming the remaining streets and parks in Port Warwick. Given free reign, Styron decided to honor great American writers.\n“In naming the various thoroughfares and squares of Port Warwick,” said Styron, “I have chosen outstanding American literary figures from the nineteenth and twenty centuries. These artists seem to me ones who are indisputably lodged in the pantheon of American literature. Limitation in number has forced me to exclude many illustrious writers deserving of recognition; therefore my choices reflect a personal leaning. But the overall selection of names does, I think, represent the best in the great flowering of American literary art.”\nMr. Styron attended the dedication of the Styron Square Pavilion in 2001, and while his health did not allow him to revisit Port Warwick, he stayed in communication with Port Warwick developer Bobby Freeman, assisting in reviewing plans for buildings, adding street names and selecting the quotations that appear in the marble base of the Natural, the sculpture on Phillip Roth Street.", "domain": "geography"}

Combined with the Trimble Business Center photogrammetry office software module, the Trimble UX5 offers a complete UAS photogrammetric mapping solution specifically designed for surveyors and geospatial professionals.\nTrimble's UAS for photogrammetric aerial mapping allows surveyors and geospatial professionals to collect data with an unmanned aircraft for large projects. A wide variety of traditional surveying applications such as topographic surveying, site and route planning, progress monitoring, volume calculations, disaster analysis, and as-builts in industries such as surveying, oil & gas, mining, environmental services, and agriculture, can now benefit from aerial imaging by allowing professionals to safely collect large amounts of accurate data in a short time.\nThe Trimble UX5 can provide a safer method to collect data compared to traditional surveying methods, according to a company press release. Flights are fully automated, from launch to landing, and require no piloting skills. The operator facilitates the aircraft's operation and built-in safety procedures can ensure safe and successful launches. Data collection can be performed remotely without exposing individuals to hazardous terrain, environmental contaminants or heavy equipment and machinery.\nIncorporating a mirrorless 16-megapixel camera with a fixed focal-length external lens, the Trimble UX5 provides high-resolution imagery and accurate deliverables.\nDesigned to operate in real-world conditions, the Trimble UX5 is capable of flights between 75m and 750m (approximately 246ft and 2,460ft) above ground level and can be flown in light rain and windy conditions, up to 65kph (approximately 40mph).\nThe Trimble UX5 airframe is comprised of a carbon frame inside expanded polypropylene. Impact-resistant plastics and composite fibers are used for the aircraft components, including winglets and belly plate. This design and choice of materials creates a rigid aircraft with strong torsional stability and the ability to withstand rough landings.\nTrimble Business Center allows surveyors and other geospatial professionals to combine aerial photography with data collected from GNSS receivers, total stations, 3D laser scanners, and more. By combining imagery from the Trimble UX5 and any Trimble VISION instruments, users can visualize their project from both aerial and terrestrial perspectives, measure points within the images, and create 3D models of the infrastructure and terrain.\nThe new Trimble UX5 aerial imaging solution, including the Trimble Access aerial imaging application, is available now through Trimble's Survey Distribution Channel in markets where UAS commercial operations are permitted. The Trimble Business Center photogrammetry module is available now.", "domain": "geography"}

The location is isolated from other pig production and yet it is still close to Winnipeg Richardson International Airport, which makes it possible to export high-health boars and semen with the highest genetic value to our customers.\nDelta Canada houses 2600 pigs and tests 7500 young nucleus boars of the TN Tempo sire line and the Z-line dam line every year. Delta Canada, just like the Delta centre in Norway, is equipped with IFIR feeding stations for individual feed intake registration and a CT scanner that makes it possible to improve carcass composition, robustness, and meat quality faster and with greater accuracy.\nMeet your host:\nOriginally from the UK, Mike Shaw received his BSc in Animal Science from the University of Leeds and MSc in Pig Production from the University of Aberdeen. Before coming to Canada almost 20 years ago, he worked for 5 years in the UK and France for a global swine genetics company. In Canada he worked inside of Maple Leaf Foods at GAP Genetics, Landmark Feeds and Elite Swine Inc., overseeing the genetic and multiplication departments before moving to Topigs as part of their acquisition of Maple Leaf Foods Genetics Division. Most recently Mike managed the CAN$15m Delta Canada project from conception to completion.\n*This event will take place over Microsoft Teams – the access link will be emailed to all those registered at a later date.

Featuring many shops and nightclubs, it is undoubtedly one of the top European tourist destinations and the Harmony Bay Hotel is the place to fully experience it. The recent shopping development complex of My Mall is located less than 15 minutes from Harmony Bay Hotel and is a popular attraction housing a wide range of high-street shopping brands while also including some dining venues and exciting entertainment options.\nIf you are on a family holiday, a visit to Fasouri Watermania Water Park and to the Limassol Zoo will be a delight for the children. You should also not miss a walk around the Historical and Classical Motor Museum of Cyprus and, if you seek adventure, Sayious Adventure Park will become your favourite destination on the island!\nBeyond its contemporary cosmopolitan side, Limassol has great sites and historical monuments which are definitely worth a visit, introducing the visitor to a more sophisticated aspect of the area. Take some time to admire the archaeological site of Kourion, which includes the ruins of an amphitheater adorned with beautiful mosaics and Roman foundations. Another characteristic cultural monument of the area is the Sanctuary of Apollo, where you will see the ruins of ancient baths and dorms being unveiled.\nImportant sites are also the historic castles of the Colosseum dating back to the crusade and the Limassol Castle at the harbor, said to have been the setting of Richard the Lionheart’s wedding. You can also visit churches and monasteries of noteworthy beauty, such as St. George Alamanos.\nWhile exploring the many beauties of the area, do not miss a visit to traditional hamlets such as Omodos and Koilani, so as to admire typical views of Cypriot architecture and immerse yourself in a sweet sense of tradition and warmth. The wine festival, organized at the end of August, holds a special place in the heart of the locals and will surely impress you. If you are here in February, you will have the chance to dance to the rhythms of the famous Carnival of Limassol.\nFor the more adventurous guests, we suggest venturing out to explore the famous Troodos mountains at a distance of approximately 1 hour from Limassol. Apart from the unique natural beauty that surrounds, the Troodos mountains are the home to numerous picturesque villages and to ten Byzantine churches and monasteries that are adorned with stunning coloured murals. Since they are sites belonging to UNESCO World Heritage, paying them a visit will definitely excite you. Additionally, the Geopark Visitor Centre of Troodos mountains is also a noteworthy as it showcases the geological importance of the mountainous range.\nAnd for those who enjoy good wine, you will be thrilled to take a tour or our infamous wine routes, especially that of Commandaria! Cyprus is famous for its long tradition of wine making from ancient times, and the variety of Commandaria is the world's oldest wine label, with Richard the Lionheart being the greatest admirer. A visit to the various winery villages is the ultimate wine lovers’ experience, as it is these same ancient varieties that are being produced until this day and in the same traditional ways. Taste the wine that Richard the Lionheart himself named \"the wine of the Kings and the King of Wines\".", "domain": "geography"}

Particularly, we are going to apply sound, animation and interactive equipment to our site.\nSo far, we have a 3D environment and an animation for the main projected wall.\nFirstly, we would like to attract the visitors’ attention to our main projected wall. So we would like to do a 3D light show on the wall. Here I attached the animation I have created so far.\nI used Blender for 3D modeling. Particularly, I applied a modern hologram texture in Cycles render for the pillars to make a better light effect.\nHere I attached a picture of the test result. As we are still learning projection mapping by Madmapper, we can only map a picture on the wall now. We will keep studying in the following weeks before presentation.\nWhen I was creating the animation and 3D view, I always asked myself “how can I create environments in which people can get immersed and how can I connect the (e)motion with the environment”? Then, the theory of Relative Motion came into my mind. Basically, I moved the shining pillars and arches to make visitors feel like they are walking into the main arch and watching the scene inside, which is the 3D environment of the ocean.\n3D Environment of the undersea\nAccording to our project brief, we need to combine environments and motion with media and digital technologies to create an augmented environment (live event, installation). So I started to think about “What elements related to ocean can I use to augment sensorial experiences in the specific site?” Because we wanted to visualise how the Winged Victory was buried under the Aegean Sea, I chose the seaweed and sand ground to create an undersea view. To make the scene more real, I referred to a video tutorial by EnigmaToots to do the glowing sand ground and the reflective sea surface.\nI used the cloth modifier for the seaweed, so that they are actually swaying once I rendered out the animation. To be more immersive, the whole animated scene will be accompanied with sound effect in the future.\nAnimation: Making more animation with different elements for the main projected wall.\nMapping: Learning the mapping method and testing it in the sculpture court.\nSound: Attaching the sound effect to the animation of the pillars, and try to make a deep sea sound for the animation.\nEnigmaToots, 2014, Creating Underwater Scenes In Cycles, Online available at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq0y8J59GJs (accessed 12th February, 2016).", "domain": "geography"}

St. Michael’s Cemetery, once a rural cemetery serving a colonial population, is today an eight- acre green space in the heart of urban, historic Pensacola, Florida. It is one of the two oldest extant cemeteries in the state of Florida (the other being Tolomato Cemetery in St. Augustine) and reflects the social history of the community it is associated with. The cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property to the Pensacola Historic District.\nHistorical research and early maps indicate that the land in and around the modern cemetery was in use as a burying ground beginning in the mid to late 18th century. The earliest surviving above ground markers in St. Michael’s Cemetery, however, are associated with Pensacola’s Second Spanish Period (1781-1821). The cemetery is an open-air museum that is a testament to the diverse history of Pensacola.\nPensacola drew immigrants from around the world. The cemetery is the resting place of Captains of Industry, victims of Yellow Fever epidemics and steam ship explosions, along with those who died in child birth, as infants, and of old age.\nThere are approximately 3200 marked graves in the cemetery with subsurface anomalies possibly several thousand unmarked graves. Tombstones in the cemetery reflect not only status and ethnicity of individuals but also reflect society as a whole on the Florida Gulf Coast frontier. One has only to walk down the extant colonial road bed at the south end of the site to experience the strong sense of place and identity in the cemetery; a feeling of community.\nToday, primary stewardship for the cemetery is provided by St. Michael’s Cemetery Foundation of Pensacola, Inc. The nonprofit Foundation works with the University of West Florida and many community groups and individuals to preserve this historic site. Research at historic St. Michael’s Cemetery is focused on expanding our knowledge of the history and physical development of our community.\nOne project, The Search for the Hidden People of St. Michael’s Cemetery, identified unmarked burials at the site utilizing remote sensing techniques. In-depth historical research focused on the burial patterns reflected in the Pensacola Bay area, individuals who lost their lives in Pensacola during the colonial period, and how the landscape of St. Michael’s evolved over time in relationship to the community it serves. An in-depth history of the cemetery, results of the remote sensing survey, landscape reconstruction, and a colonial mortality database is now available. The ongoing research, conservation, and preservation efforts at St. Michael’s Cemetery are an excellent example of preserving our past to benefit our future.", "domain": "geography"}

Xenon was part of a dynamic group that had the opportunity to travel to Dublin, Ireland and London, England from October 6th through October 14th for continued education and European inspiration.\nEight people represented Xenon on the trip—four staff members and four students. All were from the Wichita campus.\nThe trip was certainly one for learning and growing as a stylist, but also getting a taste of the cultural differences.\n“From the start we were immersed in culture, diversity and fashion,” said Kim McIntosh, Xenon Owner & President.\nThe first stop on the 10 day excursion was Dublin, Ireland. While in Ireland, the group visited traditional Irish pubs, beautiful gardens, cathedrals and castles.\n“Ireland was breathtaking— the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to,” said Courtney Swick, Xenon Student.\nThey then traveled by boat on Ulysses, the world’s largest ferry, to Holyhead, in Wales. From there, they took a train on a 3 hour scenic journey through the Welsh countryside to central London.\nOnce in London, the group went on a guided tour to visit the most historic and breathtaking places in the country. They saw attractions such as the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament and of course, Buckingham Palace.\nThe group also attended the Salon International Show at the ExCel Center and the Alternative Hair Show, which is one of the most prestigious hairdressing events that hosts leading teams and artists from around the world.\nThe Alternative Hair Show had such interesting and unique ideas and themes and “our students were absolutely awestruck,” said McIntosh.\nOne of the most industry-focused days, was when the group learned Vidal Sassoon hair styles and techniques.

This summary will hopefully answer that question. After it has been examined I'm happy to publish the whole thing here, not that you'll actually want to read it.\nElectoral district boundaries in South Australia are reviewed and redrawn if necessary after every state election. These redistributions are conducted by a statutory authority that is independent of the government called the Electoral Districts Boundaries Commission (EDBC).\nThe EDBC is required to ensure that electoral boundaries conform with a notion of fairness contained in the Constitution. In general terms this means that the boundaries should ensure that the party that receives the majority of the votes (after the distribution of preferences) at an election should be able to form government.\nSince this fairness requirement came into effect in 1991, there have been six South Australian elections, and in three of these elections the party that received a majority of the State-wide two-party preferred votes (in all cases, the Liberal Party) was not able to form government. This indicates that either this characterisation of fairness is unworkable in practice, or that more information and advanced techniques are required to implement it effectively.\nOne key part of the EDBC's method of redistribution involves calculating estimates for the strength of support for each major party in small areas of geography called `collection districts'. There are more than 3000 collection districts in South Australia. These estimates are then used to make decisions about which collection districts to move between electoral districts.\nThis thesis is chiefly concerned with the calculation of these estimates. We develop new methods of calculating them using new information in an attempt to improve the estimates, and hence improve the information available to the EDBC.\nThe new information we use is data about the demographics of each collection and electoral district, sourced from the periodical Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). We use data from the 2006 Census, along with election returns from the 2010 state election. Principal Component Analysis techniques are used to explore and visualise the predictor datasets.\nThe thesis develops a series of logistic regression models, with either two or three response categories. Gradual improvements are gained over the course of the thesis. The models are verified and checked using standard statistical techniques and using a set of summary statistics and visualisations.\nThe preferred model in the thesis is one that combines demographic information from the ABS with some 'spatial' information inherent in the system; taking advantage of the fact that collection districts are nested in electoral districts.\nAfter settling on this model, the predictions for the support for each major party in each collection district is compared to the predictions that were actually used by the EDBC.\nWhile further research is required to establish the improved accuracy of our predictions, we argue that they are credible and overcome some clear shortcomings in the EDBC predictions, and that these methods deserve further attention.", "domain": "geography"}

The Eastport pilot boat, MEDRIC II, has left her berth at the Breakwater and is headed up Head Harbour Passage bound for the m/v SAGA MONEL at the pilot station in the Bay of Fundy.\nAboard are Eastport harbor pilot captain Bob Peacock who will bring the cargo ship into the pier at Estes Head, pilot boat captain Ralph DeWitt, DeWitt’s son, Jesse, who serves as mate, and on this occasion DeWitt’s young nephew, Ryan.\nWhile it’s Peacock’s job to bring the SAGA MONEL safely to the pier – no small order given the extreme tides, tricky currents and prevalent fog – it’s DeWitt’s job to get Peacock safely aboard the ship’s pilot’s ladder. That’s no small order, either, in the Bay of Fundy even in good weather.\n“I literally trust my life to Ralph’s ability,” Peacock says simply.\n“Fundy Traffic, Eastport pilot boat,” DeWitt says into the radio and is acknowledged by the Canadian Coast Guard’s navigation center in Saint John, New Brunswick. “We’re at Four Papa, approximately 40 minutes from the pilot station.”\nThe fog, which in Friar Roads was light enough to see the Deer Island-Campobello ferry crossing, has become so thick at Head Harbour Light that the light station, close by on the radar, is invisible while its foghorn is loud and clear.\nPeacock requests a speed of “three-and-a-half to four knots, please” from the cargo ship’s captain and is acknowledged. The ship’s whistle becomes louder, and as the fog scales a bit the vessel’s house becomes visible but not the hull.\n“SAGA MONEL, pilot,” Peacock says into the radio. “We’re a half-mile away; start your swing, correct course to zero-four-zero.”\nA few minutes later DeWitt radios, “SAGA MONEL, pilot boat. We’re making our approach.”\nDeWitt maneuvers along the vessel’s port side, matching the ship’s speed. He eases the MEDRIC II to the pilot’s ladder, Peacock steps onto the lowest rung, grabs the ropes, and climbs aboard.\nIt’s 12 noon, and DeWitt’s job is done – for the moment.\nAs the pilot boat heads back to Eastport, the wheelhouse radio crackles, “Fundy Traffic, SAGA MONEL, pilot is aboard.” At Peacock’s request, DeWitt watches for small boats ahead of the cargo ship, and he says, “You know, a bad day on the water is still better than a good day in a cubicle.”\nThe MEDRIC II, a fishing/utility boat built in 1996 of high-density plastic, is not an imposing craft – 48 feet long with a 6-foot beam – but “she’s tough as nails,” Peacock says. “We’ve never missed a ship because of her.”\nThe MEDRIC II is named after the MEDRIC, a double-ender sardine carrier built at East Boothbay in 1919. As it happens, DeWitt was the last captain of the MEDRIC, owned by R.J. Peacock Canning Company, before she was laid up in 1994 after a hard-working career spanning 75 years.\nIn his chronicle of sardine carriers in and around Passamaquoddy Bay, Masts and Masters, John Gilman wrote, “`Frankie’ Pendleton ran the MEDRIC the first year she was used but he didn’t like her and went back to the SYLVINA BEAL.”\nBut if you ask DeWitt what he liked most about piloting the MEDRIC, he says, “No question, it was the boat herself. She was wonderful to run. And it was an absolute thrill to be part of that boat’s history.”\nAt first, nothing remarkable comes to DeWitt’s mind about piloting the MEDRIC. Then he says, “Well, there was the time we had a finback [whale] running alongside that was longer than the boat, and she was 65 feet long.”\nHe adds, “I guess I’d have to say the most exciting time was carrying herring. We knew it was a dying industry; I felt I was fortunate to have a part in it.”\nThe sardine carrier was also used to haul feed to salmon pens around the bay. “This was back in the days of moist feed,” DeWitt says. “We’d deliver at night usually starting about 10 o’clock so the salmon would have fresh feed in the morning. Well, I remember once we got a call about daybreak that the feed had spoiled so we had to take that feed back, then deliver new feed, about a thousand pounds in all. By the time we were done, it was just about time to start again. So we ended up working just about 24 hours. That’s three boats with their crews and the docking crews, and we were all tired.”\nOn and off the water, DeWitt has worked at a bit of everything. A graduate of the Eastport Boat School, his jobs have included Moose Island Marine “both in the retail operation and out at the boatyard,” and has taken on odd jobs around the area.\n“We’re in a survival mode here most of the time; you have to take on three or four jobs just to get a decent paycheck,” he says. “Jobs are like the fog; they come and go.”\nWhen Peacock asked DeWitt to pilot the MEDRIC, DeWitt actually refused. “I said no to Bob a couple of times,” he says. “I wasn’t sure I was up to it. But Bob was convinced I could do it and gave me time to practice with her. Finally saying yes was the best decision I ever made.”\nDeWitt doesn’t talk much about his skills but Peacock says, “Ralph is truly a jack of all trades – fishing, carpentry, fiberglass repair, aquaculture, marine research, public affairs, teacher, expert boatman, engine and electronic repairs wrapped up in a very dependable, steady friend who has a great dry sense of humor.”\nDeWitt’s roots go deep on both sides of the border. “On my father’s side, my ancestors arrived on Campobello in 1728. My mother’s people were from Eastport – I’m not sure how far back they go, but it’s a long way – and they were boatbuilders and fishermen.\nAs the MEDRIC II heads down Head Harbour Passage into Friar Roads, DeWitt picks up the mike. “Fundy Traffic, Eastport pilot boat. We’re just crossing Four Papa, 25 minutes to the Eastport Breakwater.”\nEastport is now in bright sunlight, and visibility is clear.\nAt 1 p.m., DeWitt is again on the radio. “Fundy Traffic, Eastport pilot boat. We’re secure at the Eastport Breakwater. Thanks for your assistance.”\n“Eastport pilot boat, Fundy Traffic. Roger that.”", "domain": "geography"}

Observation informs our decisions about how we manage our farms. For thousands of years farmers have been relying on empirical knowledge passed down through generations, helping them to recognise patterns in the weather, cycles on the land and rhythms within nature. But what can you do when you don’t have that mulit-generational connection with your land?\nToday we are armed with a vast array of tools to allow us to make evidence based decision making for our farming enterprises. These tools are usually expensive, difficult to use, or unable to be tailored for specific applications. In my quest to learn more about caring for the soil on the Rock Farm, I recently attended a winter update session hosted by the NSW Local Land Services. One of the sessions was on a web based tool that has enormous potential to help me make better decisions about our farm management.\nThe tool is Farming Forecaster. This tool has been available in our area for a couple of years, but is rapidly expanding throughout New South Wales and Tasmania. Matt and Phil from the video below attended our session and took us through the tool, how it works, and how we can use it to make better decisions. One of the best aspects of the Local Land Service’s workshops is the calibre of people they have at the sessions, and to hear Matt and Phil explain the tool was a real privelige.\nThe tool uses real-time soil moisture probes in our district to predict pasture growth. Water in the soil is the largest determinator of pasture growth in our area, followed by fertility. The Farming Forecaster assumes you have appropriate fertility and uses the soil moiture profile to determine pasture growth based on either:\n- 30 years of historical data\n- Bureau of Meteorology ACCESS S long range forecast data\nWith accurate pasture growth data, based on 30 years of observed weather, and knowing exactly how much area is available to graze (using free GIS software QGIS) I am able to calculate with reasonable confidence how much feed will be available to my cattle for the next three months.\nThis information, coupled with data on the amount of feed I can expect my cattle to eat (based on tables from the Local Land Services Soil Fertility and Decision Making Workshop) allows me to make decisions on my stocking rate.\nWith rainfall and soil types varying across the region, it is important to look at several sites around your farm. You can do this by clicking on the ‘View Network‘ button. There are some great videos that explain the data also available. Additional information on the site can be found here: https://farmingforecaster.com.au/MemberUpdates.\nFrom using Farming Forecaster, I am now able to confidently say that we have an appropriate stocking rate for this season – well at least for now. It is worth regularly reviewing the site as it is updated weekly. For a punter like me, who has so much to learn about animal husbandry, pasture growth and stocking rates, it really helps me to access knowledge that took generations to acquire.\nOf course the ones who benefit most from it are oblivious to it – but that is ok. They’re beautiful – and now I know they should be well fed throughout the next couple of months :).", "domain": "geography"}

I have to say that this was probably the most action-packed day trip I have ever taken. First, I met up with a great couple who I’d only met the night before at the International Congress on Math Education (ICME), who turned out to be my surrogate parents for the day. We took a train from Hamburg to Berlin, which I believe was about a two-hour trip.\nBus or boat?\nAs soon as we arrived by train in Berlin (about 100 of us), we were whisked onto tour buses that gave us a one-hour tour of the city. It was a fairly comprehensive tour where we were able to see part of the Berlin Wall, Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial, with 2,711 gray concrete slabs, Checkpoint Charlie and lots of historic buildings. My only complaint is that the bus moved very quickly and I found it difficult to take in what I was seeing along with narration from our tour guide. And every time I tried to take a picture from the bus, we were driving off before I could get a snap! After the bus tour, we immediately boarded a boat for another, more laid-back tour of the city. If you are visiting Berlin, I highly recommend getting a boat tour on the Spree river in the city center. We revisited a lot of the locations we breezed by on the bus, but with a closer view at a more manageable pace.\nI am obsessed with the Berlin Cathedral. Located in the heart of Museum Island, we passed it several times by bus, boat and foot when we were walking around the city later in the day. Every time I passed it, I had to take a picture! You do not get to see architecture like this in the United States, and I was just blown away by the beauty and intricate detail of the church, originally built in 1465 and completed in 1905. Like many historic buildings in Berlin, the cathedral had a major renovation to restore damage from the second World War. It is breathtakingly beautiful and too big to miss. Next time I’m in Berlin, I have to get a tour of the interior. I bet it is just as, if not more, spectacular than the facade.\nAfter our tours, our group was brought to a traditional “Biergarten” for a buffet-style lunch. Out of about 20 dishes, about 15 were based on potatoes and sausage! After lunch, we had a few hours to explore the city by foot and public transportation. Public transportation in Germany is very modern and easy to navigate–an inexpensive, easy way to see all the sights. We decided to revisit Museum Island, an ensemble of five world-renowned museums on an island in River Spree right in the heart of Berlin’s city center. For 18 euros, one can buy a ticket to all five museums. We visited the Pergamon and Neues museums, both chock full of antiquities. The Neues houses an impressive collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts, including the bust of Nefertiti. Unfortunately, the bust was not open for photography, much to my disappointment! The Pergamon is the most visited museum in Berlin and hosts a beautiful collection of Islamic art as well as the Ishtar Gate, constructed by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II circa 575 BCE. It was the eighth gate of the city of Babylon (in present day Iraq) and was the main entrance into the city. The magnificence of the Ishtar Gate was so well known that it made the initial list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.", "domain": "geography"}

This sponsorship comes as a result of Bank of New Hampshire’s implementation of an annual giving focus.\n“Our mobile food pantries have become a safe and effective approach to meeting the needs of our food insecure neighbors during this difficult time,” said Eileen Liponis, Executive Director, New Hampshire Food Bank. “Thanks to the generosity of Bank of New Hampshire we will be able to further our reach this year and ensure that our neighbors across the state do not have to worry about where their next meal will come from. Our mission would not be possible without our community partners, like Bank of New Hampshire. We are truly grateful for this partnership.”\nBank of New Hampshire’s annual giving focus has been implemented within the bank’s Corporate Giving Program to concentrate monetary donations and volunteer efforts on a specific need to better serve the community in a more measurable way. The 2021 giving focus for Bank of New Hampshire is food insecurity. While food insecurity has always been a struggle for many of our friends and neighbors, the current COVID-19 pandemic has greatly increased this need across our state with a projected 13% increase in 2021.*\n“As we seek to make an impact on food insecurity in our communities, we are confident that this significant contribution to the New Hampshire Food Bank will move us toward that goal,” stated Christopher Logan, President & CEO for Bank of New Hampshire. “In this one-year partnership, beginning in April, we will support one Mobile Food Pantry event each week, providing food for up to 500 families.”\nThe Mobile Food Pantry travels to locations throughout the state, aligning with Bank of New Hampshire’s footprint. In addition to financially supporting the Mobile Food Pantry, Bank of New Hampshire employees will be serving as volunteers at Mobile Food Pantries throughout the year.\nLogan went on to say, “The New Hampshire Food Bank has been addressing food insecurity in our state since 1984, and we are thrilled to take part in the fight against hunger. Bank of New Hampshire has maintained a strong legacy of community service and civic leadership, and we are proud to be partnering with the New Hampshire Food Bank which has done the same. From one bank, to another, we strive to end hunger.”\nBank of New Hampshire, founded in 1831 provides deposit, lending and wealth management products and services to families and businesses throughout New Hampshire and southern Maine. With 21 banking offices and assets exceeding $2 billion, Bank of New Hampshire is the oldest and one of the largest independent banks in the state. Bank of New Hampshire is a mutual organization, focused on the success of the bank’s customers, communities and employees, rather than stockholders.

Janet Wong is a very close friend of mine and an extremely talented climber who is driven by adventure. Because we have limited ice climbing experience here at Kanga Climbing, we had a lot of questions for Janet! Following this blog post is a short Q&A we had with Janet to help us and our readers better understand ice climbing. Enjoy!\nYou wander through the forest in a winter wonderland, then don what looks like medieval footwear and weaponry. All is silent, except for a rhythm of thunks and crunches, and what vaguely resembles the sound of glass shattering. You feel the teeth of your crampons dig in like claws. A sense of adventure fills the air as you make your way up a frozen waterfall.\nIce is an ephemeral medium to climb. Their natural beauty and limited existence capture my attention. It engages me on every level of my being and it’s as if I become part of the artistic masterpiece, nature’s ice painting. Here, I’ll share with you the beginnings of my ice climbing journey and how winter can be a great time for climbers to get outside.\nWhere it took off…\nMy climbing journey began on the rocks, glaciers, and mountains of New Zealand in 2016, but my passion for waterfall ice climbing unexpectedly took off once I came back to Ontario and had the chance to climb at Granary Lake with the Alpine Club of Canada in 2018. It was a Family Day long weekend trip organized by Danylo. There was something enchanting about crossing a frozen lake towards a cliff covered with ice and then climbing 40 metres up a thick patch of ice attached to the rock wall. I looked up at it the way you might look at the Grand Canyon and ponder how time and natural cycles have played their part to create this: ice formed from seeping water that froze layer upon layer over time to create this giant structure weighing many tons. The trip leaders and assistants set up top ropes and soon enough, us little humans were picking our way up this humbling space. Everybody was friendly, excited and happy to belay and climb together. When an experienced ice climber and volunteer, Ray, at the event began leading up the ice pillar, I was filled with amazement. He looked so smooth and confident on what was an intimidating freestanding column of ice. I definitely wanted to be like that! I gave it a go on top rope as my final lap of the day and my forearms burned for mercy at the steepest section.* I wondered how anybody could have the endurance to stop here to place an ice screw for protection?\nToproping the pillar at Granary Lake in Algoma\nAfter that trip, I knew that ice was in my future and I wanted to know how to lead in order to open up more climbing options. I stumbled upon Will Gadd’s sage advice on the internet. He recommended top rope climbing at least one hundred and fifty 30m pitches of ice before getting on the sharp end. So, for my first season, I observed the changing nature of ice and practiced becoming solid on ice movement and technique before trying to lead. I even kept track of the estimated “metres” of ice that I climbed – because it’s not often one finds 30m pitches of ice in Southern Ontario! *\nSouthern Ontario Ice Festival\nLater that February, I attended my first Southern Ontario Ice Festival. My climbing partner, Sarah, and I headed out to Hidden Gems, the “other Diamond Lake”, to avoid the crowds at Papineau Roadside. We walked along the presumably thick frozen lake ice. A thin superficial layer had formed above the solid ice from recent weather events and it would crack and break, occasionally freaking us out.\nI top rope climbed every line that the Alpine Club of Canada had set up. Jade was challenging because it had been so sun-affected* that it resembled loosely held together grains of snow rather than ice that I pondered if I was better off with shovels rather than picks. In contrast, the route, Onyx, was in fat ice* conditions, it looked gorgeous. The bluish-green curtains of ice draped over the cliff like a cape. It was 12m worth of climbing, so to make my training laps full-value, I amped up the difficulty by using old school straight shaft tools*. It definitely gave me a good forearm pump!\nIn the evening, festival goers all headed to the Arlington Pub in Maynooth, a quaint little town centered amongst a plenitude of ice climbing areas. That night, it was crowded with psyched ice climbers! I was blown away by the energy in that place and how friendly everybody was! There were climbers of all ability levels from never-ever’s, who were taking advantage of the affordable and professional instructional clinics being taught by mountain guides, to the very experienced, for whom ascending ice was second nature, and others who have spent countless days traipsing the backcountry to find ice routes or bolt mixed routes* that were included in a relatively new ice guidebook for Southern Ontario. There was so much excitement. It was wild. The festival itself was relatively small, ice climbing being a very niche outdoor activity, so the community felt very tight-knit in a cozy way. It was very welcoming.\nThe next day, freezing rain turned into actual rain during the morning. When it stopped, it didn’t dampen our spirits from going outside and trying to find ice to climb. Mark, a fellow ice climber I met at the festival, and I hiked around Diamond Lake and set a top rope off of Where Egos Dare. I was belaying Mark when a random ice climber named Kevin showed up and asked if he could have a turn on our top rope. I agreed and proceeded to belay him after Mark finished climbing. I was already set up on an awkward belay spot on a slope where I was secured to a small tree. Kevin was fast, but I had already made my mistake to agree to belay two people in a row. When it was my turn, I was as cold as a popsicle.\nThe start of the climb was more water-fall than frozen waterfall. Thankfully, I dressed for success in waterproof shells, top and bottom. The start of the climb was the crux, where I needed my jacket hood on. I couldn’t look up at all because too much water was pouring on top of me. My gloves were getting wet as I blindly swung my tools above me. Once I was past that, I had a choice of climbing the ice or the rock slab. I chose to climb what little ice was left in the rock corner. When it disappeared, I had to make the transition across a slab of slush. The final ice bulges were in hero ice* shape, where my tool placements would feel super secure on the first swing. When I topped out, I started to feel a painful tingling sensation in my hands. I wrenched my soaked gloves off. My hands were cold and numb. I stuffed them in my jacket under my armpits, shivering from my cold shower at the beginning of the climb. I wanted to start cleaning the anchor but the pain climaxed and I could not will myself to do anything other than bend down and whimper for several minutes. Yes, this is the notorious “screaming barfies” experience common in ice climbing. But I assure you, when it was over, all my fingers were intact! Overall, the festival was a phenomenal experience with a lot of psyche and try-hard from everyone. I loved swapping belays with my new friends in an incredibly positive social atmosphere.\nExploring the Algoma Region\nRunning off the adrenaline of the festival and having fallen in love with ice climbing, I saved money (that I was supposed to use to pay off my student loans) to buy ice climbing gear. I couldn’t afford a car either, so for a trip during the March Break, I took public transit for two hours from the east end to the west end of Toronto to meet Danylo for a carpool. I looked like a ridiculous pack rat on the TTC with 3 giant bags of stuff: ice climbing gear, sleeping bags, snowshoes, the works. It was in preparation for a 9-day ice climbing trip that would involve some winter camping. After six hours of driving, we were in Algoma, planning to explore a myriad of areas north-east of Sault-Ste. Marie. The next morning, we drove down winding roads where we could see cliffs dribbled with ice. Our necks were like rubber chickens, looking intently out the window as our eyes were locked onto seeing what ice had formed and in what conditions. We would bushwack in the backcountry with our snowshoes through deep snow to look for unclimbed ice lines, for first ascents!\nOur winter camping trip involved pulling our own sled full of equipment for 3 km to camp in the Canyonlands near Kynoch. We climbed a rambling WI3* route called Electric Toothbrush before retiring for the night. It was -38 degrees Celsius and I was fairly uncomfortable before I finally figured out the perfect number of layers I needed – I slept in my down jacket and two sleeping bags.\nThe next morning, we snowshoed deeper into the Canyonlands to have a look at a climb called Hunter. It was completely sun-baked and Danylo deemed it unsafe to lead. It was the biggest ice climb I’d ever seen at that point, a full 50m! We walked around to look at a few other climbs. The sun was out in full force, scorching us with heat, a complete reversal of what I had felt the night before. The snow quieted the landscape where we were miles away from civilization. We were enveloped in silence, save for the crunch of our snowshoes. I turned a corner towards Raven Creek Ravine and happened upon 15m of moderate rambling ice! Danylo had said that he and the others hadn’t come across this one before. It was in wonderful condition, so we climbed it. It faced west, so you could see just above the tops of the trees around you and the dip into the valley beyond. I remembered hearing birds chirping, so following along the theme of bird-related geographic names in the area, we called it Birdwatcher. My first ever first ascent!\nWe explored many more areas of Algoma (without the winter camping) for ice and were spoiled with “virgin” ice conditions – where the ice has not been climbed by anybody yet for the season – as well as a sense of solitude that popular climbing areas cannot offer. From this experience, I also developed a deep appreciation for what was outside and not too far from home, when we take the time to explore.\nIce Climbing is Fun!\nSouthern Ontario had a lot to offer my early ice climbing career. The community was small, close-knit, and friendly. The majority of ice that I climbed was almost always in virgin ice condition. Snowshoes were essential for the approach, often in remote backcountry areas, where no other tracks are visible nor beaten in. There were plenty of ice and mixed routes to play on. The drives were often quite long, but worth it when shared amongst good company! Ice climbing in Southern Ontario often felt like I had a piece of heaven to myself.\nClimbing ice seems improbable. When the sun’s rays shine just right, it illuminates the ice so that it seems translucent, as if you were holding onto nothing but an illusion of something solid. Part of the fun is that features can form differently every year and conditions can vary wildly, so that it’s a new adventure every time, even on the same routes!\nReady to try out ice climbing? Join your local Alpine Club of Canada section for trips, courses and more resources. If you live in Southern Ontario, check out the Southern Ontario Ice Festival. Additionally, you can check up on ice conditions here. Be safe, stay warm and have fun!\n*How long did it take you to complete one hundred and fifty 30m pitches?\nIt took 23 days. I reached my goal by the end of my first season of ice climbing. I calculated that it consisted of 4500 metres of toprope climbing in total. After each climbing day, I would estimate the length of the route, which was sometimes provided in the guidebook, and numbers of laps to log all of my metres. I managed to climb quite a lot of days when I ice climbed every weekend from mid-February to mid-April.\n*How did you learn to ice climb?\nI practiced my ice technique and movement on toprope. I also pretended to lead while on toprope, aka mock leading, so that I could safely work on my strategy and risk assessment. I soaked in every little climbing tip that people would blurt out, I would read voraciously, I watched a few videos on youtube, I would practice my wrist flicks and do pull-up’s when I wasn’t outside. I would’ve liked to take courses but they were neither affordable nor widely available so I sided on spending more time gaining climbing mileage, I tried to learn from and observe other ice climbers, and, most importantly, I stuck to a conservative decision-making process.\n*What is fat ice?\nFat ice is when the ice quality is great because the ice is thick and well-bonded, it is confidence-inspiring, climbs well and offers quality protection.\n*What are straight shaft tools?\nThese were the first tools designed specifically for ice climbing. The shafts are straight and there is no pommel. They are not as ergonomic or light as modern tools.\n*Can you describe the difference between ice climbing vs mixed climbing?\nIce climbing is what it sounds like whereas mixed climbing involves using ice tools and crampons on terrain that may involve ice as well as rock.\n*What exactly is hero ice?\nWhen you can get one hit sticks with your tools and crampons, ice climbing seems so easy that it makes you feel like a hero!\n*How do ice climbing grades work?\nHere’s a great resource: http://www.alpinist.com/p/climbing_notes/grades\nDid you enjoy this article?

Fry W. Giles, one of the city’s founders, wrote that the Rev. S.Y. Lum proposed the name on January 1, 1855, and that the founders of the city chose the name because it was “a name not found in the list of post offices of the United States, nor in any lexicon of the English language. It was novel, of Indian origin and euphonious of sound.”\nThe name was unanimously adopted by the founders.\n“Topeoka” was the Indian name for the Kansas River according to Thomas Say, who was with the 1819-1820 expedition commanded by Major S. H. Long. Say included the word “to-pe-ok-a” and its meaning “good potato river” in his list of Indian words. He explained that he recorded each word on the spot as it was pronounced by an Indian or interpreter.\nMajor Angus L. Langham, who was surveying the Kaw Nation lands in 1826 for the United States governmentreferred to the Kansas River as the Topeka River in his report.\nThe name was also on the map drawn by missionary Johnston Lykins who drew the map while living at the Potawatomi Baptist Mission in 1849. On this map, Topeka was the name of the Smoky Hill fork of the Kansas River. The map was published in a book by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft in 1853.\nGiles claimed that the Kansa Indians living in the area said that the Kansas River Valley was called Topeka because it was a good place to gather the little tuber known to non-Indians as the wild potato.\nJohn Dunbar, Washburn University professor of Greek and Latin in the 1870s, also reported this definition. Dunbar wrote that the name Topeka is made up of three words common in the languages of the Iowa, Omaha, and Kansa Indians. “To” means potato, “pe” means good, and “okae” means to dig in these languages. He said that the word Topeka literally means a good place to dig potatoes.\nJoseph James, called Jo Jim, was another Kansa man who reported that Topeka meant “a good place to dig wild potatoes.” Joe Jim was part French and part Kansa and was married to a Potawatomi woman. He lived in the area of Topeka in the mid 1800s.\nIn 2022, Desiree Storm Brave, Director of the Kaw Nation Language program, said the meaning of the word in the Kaw Language is:\nPi= really good\nKa= probably to do with diggin em up", "domain": "geography"}

Continue the road and visit the Almádena Fort with its magnificent view.\nGo through the beach of Boca do Rio, and at its western point you will find the ruins of a Roman fishing center that included salting tanks and a sea port, from which they were removed the tiles currently displayed at the Museum of St. António in Lagos.\nThe tsunami resulting from the November 1, 1755 earthquake put on view the ruins of this village. Occupied since the mid of first century, there were produced fish preparations, such as garum. A Roman oven is still visible on the slope.\nLeaving the beach of Boca do Rio take the left to Salema beach with its dinosaur footprints described in the section of circuits.\nGo through this fishing village and take the municipal road towards Figueira. Access to the beach of Figueira requires a short walk through a small beautiful valley (We thank our friend Veronika Kristofcsak the beautiful photos!)\nFrom the village of Figueira is an indication to the beach Furnas.\nFollow the small road to Hortas do Tabual and there turn left to the beach of\nContinue to the small but beautiful bay Ingrina beach. Following to Raposeira you will find a standing menhir at your left and several menhirs laying down on your right.\nYou can also try the beach of Barranco, turning left just before the Raposeira village.\nIf you follow now to Sagres by the national road 125, you may choose the Martinhal beach, where there was a Roman pottery center which produced amphorae for transporting garum and other fish preparations.Next to Sagres center there is the good and protected from the wind Mareta beach, and near Sagres fortress, the beach of Tonel and, following in the direction of Cape St. Vincent, the beach Beliche, if the staircase does not scare you. The magnificent views of the promontory of Sagres and Cape St. Vincent are magnificent!\nThe Telheiro beach, near an extraordinary geo-monument, is accessible by a dirt road. About 800 meters after the beach Beliche and before arriving at Cape St. Vincent, turn right on a narrow paved road until you reach an abandoned lot. Turn left and go straight ahead (the road you will find 200 meters to your right following the direction of the beach of Ponta Ruiva), you have to go 1 km on a dirt road, followed by a footpath. The geo-monument is located north of the beach.\nFrom Vila do Bispo take the Ribeira do Poço street, near the Town Hall, towards the beach of Castelejo, with its rock formations and where you can go walking to the beaches of Cordoama and Barriga, on low tide. You can also take the car directly to this beautiful beach, turning right at the junction before the beach of Castelejo. Before returning to this cross section turn right and climb to the top of the hill where you can see a beautiful sunset.\nThe beach Barriga can be reached going north after the beach Cordoama and, further north, the beautiful beach Murração, the last of the Vila do Bispo beaches.\nIf you are not frightened by dirt roads make a visit to the beach of Ponta Ruiva. This beach is accessible from Vila do Bispo, moving on instead of turning to the road that leads to Castelejo and Cordoama. Follow the paved road, always on the left, until you reach a dirt road, here turn left and head to a fork with an indication of the Aspa tower to the right, the Ponta Ruiva is to the left. Another possible route is from Sagres, taking the direction of Cape St. Vincent and out toward the Aspa tower.\nIt is worth visiting the viewpoint of Aspa tower for a magnificent panorama over the beaches of Castelejo and Cordoama at north and on the cliffs of Vincentina coast to the south. From this viewpoint enjoy a fabulous sunset.\nBack to Quinta das Alagoas out of Vila do Bispo be sure to visit the church of Vila do Bispo, Raposeira and especially the chapel of Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe.\nIf you still have appetite for more beaches of the Costa Vicentina, we advise you to go back to Vila do Bispo and follow the direction of Carrapateira.

One such gem is the Kasilof River, a lesser-known but highly rewarding destination for angling.\nFishing in this remarkable river is not just about catching fish but experiencing the untamed beauty of nature. Riddle’s Fishing Lodge, located conveniently close to the river, offers a perfect base for your fishing adventure.\nRiddle’s Fishing Lodge: Your Gateway to the Kasilof River\nWhen it comes to exploring the Kasilof River, there’s no better place to stay than Riddle’s Fishing Lodge. Nestled in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness, the lodge provides a cozy and comfortable retreat for anglers. It’s worth noting that the Kasilof River and meeting your fishing guide is just a short 25-minute drive from this fantastic lodge, making it an ideal starting point for your fishing excursion.\nSpecies of Fish in the Kasilof River\nThe Kasilof River is a treasure trove of fish species, making it a paradise for novice and experienced anglers. Some of the most sought-after catches in this river include:\n- King Salmon (Chinook): These behemoths of the salmon world can weigh more than 30 pounds and are prized for their delicious flesh.\n- Sockeye Salmon (Red): Known for their striking red appearance, Sockeye salmon are plentiful in the Kasilof River, and their firm, flavorful meat makes for a delectable meal.\n- Silver Salmon (Coho): Coho salmon are prized for their acrobatic leaps and strong fights, providing an exhilarating angling experience.\n- Steelhead Trout: These migratory rainbow trout are known for their incredible strength and are highly sought after by anglers for their challenging fight.\n- Dolly Varden: A member of the char family, Dolly Varden provides exciting catches in the river and is a favorite among fly fishers.\nFishing from a Drift Boat vs. Power Boat\nFishing in the Kasilof River through Riddle’s Fishing lodge is done out of a drift boat. While fishing out of a power boat on other rivers is wonderful, drift boats are the preferred choice here for the following reasons:\n- Serenity and Solitude: Drift boats allow you to move with the current, immersing yourself in the tranquil beauty of the river, away from the noise and chaos of power boats.\n- Precision and Control: Drift boats offer a more controlled fishing experience, ideal for accurately targeting fish in the river’s diverse and complex currents.\n- Versatility: Drift boats can navigate shallow waters with ease, allowing you to reach fishing spots that power boats may not access.\n- Eco-Friendly: Using a drift boat leaves a smaller environmental footprint compared to power boats, ensuring the river’s pristine ecosystem remains intact.\nThe Kasilof River: A Part of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge\nOne of the most compelling aspects of fishing the Kasilof River is its location within the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Spanning over 2 million acres, this refuge is a testament to the unspoiled beauty of Alaska.

You're not at the West Senior High Auditorium anymore kiddos! Postajna Cave features a Concert Hall, Post Office (not kidding), Vivarium and a Medieval Castle.\nA Palace and a Crypt\nTuesday, March 24\nGoodbye Vienna as we depart for Ljubljana, Slovenia. A stop will be made in Eisenstadt for a guided tour of the Esterhazy Palace. The tour will end in Haydn Hall, known for its almost perfect acoustics, very similar to what we experience at the West Senior High Auditorium.\n11:00 am Informal Performance in Haydn Hall. (Sorry, no wifi, no streaming)\nThen walk to St. Mary’s Church to view the tomb of Joseph Haydn located in the crypt. Grab a bite to eat in Eisenstadt then its on our way to Ljubljana.\nMore notes! there will be a test later\nLjubljana is the capital of Slovenia, the largest city and economic and cultural center of the country. Its history dates back thousands of years. Around 50 BC, the Romans built a military encampment that later became a permanent settlement. In 452, it was destroyed by Attila the Hun’s forces and later by the Ostrogoths and the Lombards and probably one of the students in Clash of Clans. In the Middle Ages, the city was recognized for its art and it was rebuilt in the 16th century in the Renaissance style. After checking in to the hotel we meet our guides and begin a leisurely walking tour of the historic city center except for Mr. Gailey who will be forced to jog the entire tour.\nThe City of Dreams\nMonday, March 23\nThe day starts with breakfast at the hotel and if you've never had the complimentary breakfast at a European hotel prepare to be impressed, no broken make-your-own waffle maker here. Wear sensible shoes for the bus and walking tour of the Vienna.\nTake notes! there will be a test later\nYour local guides will point out the highlights of the city including the Opera House, Hofburg Palace and Stephansdom. Vienna is the Austria’s capital and the cultural, political, and economic center of the country. Vienna is considered the City of Music , as well as \"The City of Dreams\" as opposed to\"The Field of Dreams\" because it was home to the world's first psycho-analyst – Sigmund Freud not a baseball field in Iowa. Vienna was transformed from a Celtic and Roman settlement into the Baroque capital of the AustroHungarian Empire and if it's not Baroque don't fix it I always say...ahem, where were we. It played an essential role as a leading European music center, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. The historic center of Vienna is rich in architectural ensembles and vocal ensembles as the tour will end at the Stephansdom for a 30-minute rehearsal. Lunchtime entertainment will feature a performance by the remarkable Traverse City West Senior High School Choir (that would be us) at St. Stephen’s Cathedral.\nFollowing the performance enjoy some free time for independent exploration (in small groups) of the beautiful city center or just take a nap.\nThe day concludes with dinner and either a Strauss & Mozart concert by the Salonorchester Alt Wien, in the Kursalon Wien, an exquisite palace in the City Park where the Strauss (not Levi Strauss) brothers had their greatest successes or a trip to Vienna Woods for Heurige dinner and folkloric show, again without Levi Straus.\nCan you say WOW?\nGet your sleep in before the trip because you are going to be busy. Check out some of the links below and may your mind be blown!\nSaturday, March 21\n- Very long transatlantic flight with airplane food, Yum! Trust me it does get better. Did I mention we land in Vienna, Austria?\nSunday, March 22\n- Don't plan to get settled in because the touring starts right after we land! Get on the bus (with all of our luggage) and away we go. Let's start with a guided tour of Schönbrunn Palace to include 22 of the sumptuous rooms. You’ll also have time to explore the beautiful gardens* before continuing on to your hotel in the city center.\n*Gardens are where plants and flowers grow in case you've forgotten over the winter.\nStay tuned, more to come....\nThe choir program at Traverse City West Senior High School (in Michigan, USA) includes seven ensembles and more than 160 students aged 14 to 18. Every three years, select students from these different choirs form EuroChorale, a large international touring ensemble. Over the past 15 years, this group has competed at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in Wales (3rd place Mixed Choirs, 2000; 2nd place Mixed Choirs, 2003); the International Choir Competition and Festival, Budapest (1st place Mixed Choirs, 2009; 1st place Folklore, 2009); the International Choir Competition, Riva del Garda, Italy; and Young Prague (Winner of Category – Spiritual, Gospel, 2013). Memorable performance venues include St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City; Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris; St. Mark’s Basilica, Venice; Il Duomo, Florence; and La Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, among many others. Students of the EuroChorale choirs have visited more than ten European countries and are excited to add Slovenia and Croatia to that list in 2015.", "domain": "geography"}

Photo courtesy of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte.\nThe Hewlett Foundation makes a number of grants in the San Francisco Bay Area and California's Central Valley in order to reduce teen pregnancy particularly in disadvantaged communities. These local grants not only serve the local community, but also provide valuable insights on what programs work on the ground. These lessons inform the Foundation's grants elsewhere in California, the U.S., and around the world.\nThe local teen pregnancy prevention strategy has three elements:\n- expand or improve teen pregnancy prevention services\n- focus on teen pregnancy hot spots and key populations\n- provide grants that enable grantees to become more financially sustainable\nThe core of the strategy is to expand and improve direct services for teen pregnancy prevention in the Bay Area and Central Valley particularly for low income youth. The grant supporting the Bayview Hunters Point Healing Arts Center is an example of services being expanded within a teen pregnancy hot spot, whereas the grant supporting the New Generations Health Center is focused on improving services to disadvantaged youth. The specific improvement is providing follow-up phone calls to check in with clients and answer their questions and monitoring whether these calls help clients more consistently use contraception and ultimately avoid teen pregnancy.\nCalifornia's Central Valley has the state's highest teen pregnancy rates and is projected to have dramatic growth including a doubling of the number of teens over the next 50 years. The Hewlett Foundation's support for the Fresno Regional Foundation is strengthening the ability of this growing Central Valley community foundation to make local grants for teen pregnancy prevention.\nThe final element of the strategy is to structure the grants in way that helps grantees become more financially sustainable and enhances their overall ability to have impact. For example:\n- Supporting development and implementation of best practices\n- Favoring flexible general operating support to strengthen core functions\n- Seeking collaboration with other donors to diversify grantees funding sources\nThe Global Development and Population Program does not accept unsolicited Letters of Inquiry for its Serving Bay Area Communities grantmaking.", "domain": "geography"}

I knew right then that I was about to embark on an adventure of a lifetime. The cool morning air, the anticipation of the catch, and the rhythmic sounds of waves against the boat set the stage for our day with the New York Deep Sea Fishing Charters.\nWhy Lake Ontario?\nFor the uninitiated, Lake Ontario might just seem like another of the Great Lakes. But for anglers in the know, it’s a prime location for salmon fishing, especially during the peak season. The lake is teeming with Chinook, Coho, and the prized Atlantic Salmon. Couple this rich diversity with the depth and vastness of the lake, and you’ve got a deep-sea fishing experience right in the heart of New York.\nThe Crew: Our Trusted Guides\nFrom the moment we stepped onto boat, we could sense the love and respect they had for the vast expanse of water beneath us. Their stories, laced with humor and wisdom from years of navigating these waters, added depth to our adventure. The crew was nothing short of phenomenal. They prepped our gear with expertise, shared insider fishing tips, and celebrated each catch with genuine enthusiasm. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with shades of crimson and gold, we shared tales and laughter, the camaraderie building with every shared moment. It wasn’t just a fishing expedition; it was an unforgettable journey that bridged the gap between man, nature, and the primal thrill of the catch.\nThe Thrill of the Chase\nWith years of experience, often shared tales of epic battles with fish from days gone by, giving us both a sense of awe and a target to aspire to. The crew, ever vigilant, navigated the waters with an uncanny intuition, often guiding us to spots where the fish seemed to be waiting. With every tug and pull, we felt more connected not just to the water and its inhabitants, but to each other. The rhythm of casting, waiting, and reeling became almost meditative. The world beyond the boat’s edges faded, and all that remained was the shimmering water, the dance of the lures, and the shared hope of what lay beneath. As we traded stories, jokes, and advice, it became clear that fishing wasn’t just about the catch, but the memories we were weaving together.\nLunch on Board: A Feast of Fresh Catch\nThey regaled us with tales of fishing adventures from around the world, each story enhancing the flavor of the meal. The crew, too, shared their personal recipes and cooking secrets, adding a personal touch to the feast. As we toasted to the success of the day, with the vast expanse of water around us and the sky painting a backdrop of pastel hues, it wasn’t just a meal—it was an experience deeply ingrained in the fabric of the adventure, a moment of reflection and gratitude.\nTips and Techniques: Learning from the Best\nThe crew, with their diverse experiences, added layers of knowledge, introducing us to local fishing lore and time-tested techniques. As we absorbed their wisdom, we began to see the water differently – not just as a home to our prized salmon, but as a living, breathing entity, full of secrets and stories. Our conversations ventured beyond just fishing, touching upon the delicate balance of the marine ecosystem, the need for conservation, and the shared responsibility we hold as stewards of these waters. By the time the sun began its descent, we realized that our day had transformed us. We weren’t merely anglers; we were a part of something much larger, intertwined with nature and bound by a shared respect for the world beneath the waves.\nConclusion: An Adventure to Remember\nAs the sun set on Lake Ontario, painting the sky with shades of orange and purple, we headed back to shore with our bountiful catch and hearts full of memories. The day was a testament to the magic of deep-sea fishing and the unparalleled beauty of Lake Ontario. If you ever get a chance, don’t think twice—book a trip with New York Deep Sea Fishing Charters. It’s an adventure you won’t forget.\nBook Your trip Now : https://fvblackjackcharters.com/#reserve-trip or Call : Capt. Matt 570-495-3527", "domain": "geography"}

Usually this is because that is where he or she has family member(s) who are willing to offer emotional support as well as assist with the day to day child rearing tasks.\nOne of the major issues that arise in this scenario is how can a husband and wife each retain the ability to spend meaningful time with their children if one parent remains in Florida and the other relocates out of state. In Florida divorce cases involving time-sharing with minor children, a “Parenting Plan” is always required to be entered by the court. The Florida Supreme Court has established Family Law Form 12.995 (c) for attorneys and parties to use to set forth all of the necessary terms for a Long Distance Parenting Plan when one of the parents will be living out of the state of Florida.\nOur Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediators at Mediation of Coral Springs, Inc. are experienced in assisting clients with establishing the terms and conditions of a Florida Long Distance Parenting Plan that are necessary in order to be in the best interests of the parties’ minor children. Florida Statute § 61.13 sets forth about twenty factors that a Florida Family Law Judge is required to consider in order to determine what time sharing schedule is in the best interest of the children in each case. In addition, § 61.13 makes it clear that the best interest of the children is the main consideration that the Court uses to establish the terms of a Long Distance Parenting Plan in order that every Florida Parenting Plan is specifically drafted so that the needs of each individual child who is the subject of the plan are fully taken into consideration.\nIn drafting a Florida Long Distance Parenting Plan our Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediators at Mediation of Coral Springs, Inc. helps our clients recognize that the most significant issues involve travel arrangements and the expenses associated with transferring the children from one parent to the other and how to make certain that the “away” parent is able to maintain contact with his or her children.\nOur Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediators at Mediation of Coral Springs, Inc. have found that the issues surrounding travel in a Florida Long Distance Parenting Plan can be extremely difficult when the children are very young and the parents live such a distance apart that airline flights are necessary. This is due to who will accompany the children on flights, who pays for the travel expenses, and who makes the travel arrangements.\nOur Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediators at Mediation of Coral Springs, Inc. are experienced in helping those who mediate to establish a Long Distance Parenting Plan that meets your family’s needs and is affordable for both parties.", "domain": "geography"}

Boston Whalers have a worldwide reputation as the \"Unsinkable Legend\" and are valued for their solid construction.

If the boat is carrying more than six passengers, it is required to be inspected by the Coast Guard, and a Certificate of Inspection should be displayed in an area accessible to passengers.\nProspective passengers should exercise caution before chartering a vessel and should consider these key questions:\n· Does the vessel have a credentialed master aboard?\n· Are the master and crew enrolled in a Department of Transportation Drug and Alcohol Testing Program?\n· Does the vessel have proper documentation and safety equipment aboard?\n· If carrying more than six passengers, does the chartered vessel hold a Certificate of Inspection issued by the U.S. Coast Guard?\n· If it is a bareboat charter rental, (one without a crew provided), are you exceeding the maximum of 12 passengers allowed plus the charterer? Are you given the opportunity to select a crew or provide your own crew in order to operate that vessel?\nIllegal charters not only put passengers in danger but impact the business of legally operated charters.", "domain": "geography"}

In this comprehensive guide, we will navigate the intricate landscape of International Search Engine Optimisation, providing you with the insights and strategies to elevate your global online presence.\nUnderstanding the Scope of Global SEO\nInternational SEO, often referred to as Global SEO, is the practice of optimising your website to ensure it ranks effectively in search engines across multiple countries and languages. It’s a complex yet rewarding undertaking that demands a holistic approach, taking into account cultural nuances, linguistic variations, and regional search engine preferences.\n1. Multilingual Keyword Research: The Foundation of Global SEO\nKeyword research lies at the heart of SEO, and in the international arena, it’s no different. Begin your international SEO journey by researching and identifying relevant keywords in your target languages and regions. Tools like Google Keyword Planner and SEMrush can be invaluable resources for this task.\nConsider the differences in search behaviour and language use. For example, while “automobile” might be the preferred term in the United States, “car” is more commonly used in the United Kingdom. Understanding these distinctions is essential for international keyword selection.\n2. Geotargeting: Reaching Your Global Audience\nGeotargeting is the practice of tailoring your website’s content to specific regions. Search engines like Google have geotargeting tools that enable you to specify which country you’re targeting. This ensures your website appears in search results for users in your intended region. By utilising geotargeting, you can provide region-specific content and offers, significantly improving your user experience.\n3. Localise Your Content: Speak Your Audience’s Language\nEffective international SEO requires content that speaks to your audience in their language, both literally and figuratively. Translation alone isn’t sufficient; you must localize your content. This means understanding the cultural nuances, idioms, and context that resonate with your target audience.\nFor example, marketing a winter coat in the UK should acknowledge the difference between “autumn” and “fall” and consider the importance of waterproof features due to the country’s renowned rainy weather. Localised content goes a long way in establishing trust and relatability with your international audience.\n4. Technical SEO for International Audiences\nTechnical SEO is the foundation of international SEO. Your website must be structured to cater to a global audience. Key technical aspects include:\n- Hreflang Tags: These tags signal to search engines which language and regional versions of a page should be displayed in search results. Implementing hreflang tags is critical to ensure the right version of your page is presented to the correct audience.\n- International Domain Structure: You have several options for structuring international domains, including country code top-level domains (ccTLDs), subdomains, and subdirectories. Each approach has its pros and cons, and the choice should align with your business goals.\n- Page Loading Speed: Ensure that your website loads quickly across the world. Slow-loading pages can lead to higher bounce rates, harming your SEO efforts.\n5. Mobile Optimisation: The Global Trend\nMobile usage is a global phenomenon, and it’s crucial that your website is mobile-friendly. This is particularly vital in regions where mobile devices are the primary means of internet access. Ensure your website design is responsive, and pages load smoothly on mobile devices to improve user experience and boost your SEO rankings.\n6. Local Link Building: Strengthening Your Global Reach\nLink building is an essential component of SEO, and in the international context, building local links is vital. Collaborate with local businesses and industry organisations in your target regions. Acquiring backlinks from authoritative, regionally relevant sources boosts your credibility and authority in those areas, which is favoured by search engines.\n7. Monitor Your Global Performance\nContinuous monitoring and analysis are at the heart of a successful international SEO strategy. Use analytics tools to track your global performance, identify areas for improvement, and understand which strategies are working best in different regions. Regularly review your keyword rankings, traffic, and conversion rates to make data-driven decisions.\n8. Adapt and Evolve\nThe world of SEO is ever-changing, and international SEO is no exception. As search engines modify algorithms and user behaviours evolve, your strategy must adapt. Keep abreast of industry trends, be open to experimentation, and be ready to make adjustments.\nCase Studies in Global SEO Success\nLet’s take a look at a couple of real-world examples to understand how effective international SEO strategies have helped businesses expand their global presence.\nCase Study 1: Airbnb\nAirbnb, a global online marketplace and hospitality service, recognised the importance of localised content and user experience. They embraced geotargeting and provided unique listings and experiences tailored to the preferences of users in different regions. As a result, they have become a global brand with a presence in over 220 countries.\nCase Study 2: Booking.com\nBooking.com is another example of a company that has effectively harnessed international SEO. They optimised their website for multiple languages and implemented hreflang tags. This made it easier for users worldwide to find and book accommodations in their native language and currency. The result? Booking.com operates in over 40 languages and has a presence in nearly 230 countries.\nIncorporating Global SEO into Your Business\nGlobal SEO isn’t reserved for multinational corporations. Any business, regardless of its size, can tap into the potential of global markets. By understanding the intricacies of international SEO and adopting a user-centric approach, you can effectively expand your online presence and reach new audiences worldwide.\nAt [Your Digital Marketing Agency Name], we specialise in crafting international SEO strategies that elevate your online presence on a global scale.

By embracing international SEO, you unlock the doors to global markets, extend your reach, and connect with audiences from diverse cultures and backgrounds.

The data comes from the City of Cape Town and the National Department of Water and Sanitation, indicating a significant improvement from last year’s water storage levels. The success is attributed to recent rainfall, but authorities urge continued water conservation.\nUnique News Report: Breaking News: Cape Town Celebrates Overflowing Dams as Water Crisis Fades\nIn a remarkable turn of events, Cape Town witnesses a triumph over water scarcity as five essential dams hit a stunning 100% capacity. These reservoirs, responsible for providing potable drinking water to the city’s residents, are now brimming with hope and abundance. The City of Cape Town and the National Department of Water and Sanitation have confirmed this astonishing feat, signaling a promising shift from the water crisis that loomed large not too long ago.\nA year ago, Cape Town grappled with an impending “Day Zero,” a dark scenario where the dams would be so depleted that water taps in homes and businesses would run dry. The city was on the brink of becoming the first major metropolis in the world to face such a dire fate. However, the memory of that ominous period has become a testament to the resilience and determination of Cape Town’s people.\nThe extraordinary recovery is attributed to recent downpours that breathed new life into the region’s water supply. The rains have worked their magic, replenishing the dams and restoring hope for a brighter, water-secure future. Berg River, Steenbras Lower, Steenbras Upper, Theewaterskloof, and Wemmershoek dams all stand as shining examples of this incredible transformation, each overflowing with a remarkable abundance of water.\nThe total water stored in these dams currently stands at an impressive 890,144 Ml, representing an astounding 99.1% of the dams’ total capacity. This exceptional achievement marks a dramatic improvement from last year’s worrisome levels, which had plunged to a mere 75.3% of capacity.\nWhile Cape Town celebrates its victory over water scarcity, city officials and water authorities emphasize that the battle for sustainable water usage is far from over. The memory of “Day Zero” serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of responsible water management, even in times of plenty. The City of Cape Town calls on its citizens to remain vigilant in water conservation efforts, ensuring a resilient and secure water future for generations to come.\nAs Cape Town rejoices in its triumph, this success story stands as an inspiration to cities worldwide, demonstrating the power of collective action in preserving our most precious resource – water. With responsible stewardship and a continued commitment to water conservation, we can ensure that Cape Town’s recent victory remains a shining beacon of hope for all communities facing the challenges of water scarcity.", "domain": "geography"}

The entire region was subjected to a flash flood emergency for most of Wednesday night, and more than 3 inches of rain was recorded in Central Park in just an hour. Flash floods turned roads into river rapids and inundated homes and apartments. At least 41 people died in the storm and authorities are still looking for some people missing in the flood.\nBiden is expected to travel to two of the hardest hit areas – New York and Manville, New Jersey – on Tuesday to assess the damage.\nThe disaster reports cover Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Westchester County in New York as well as Bergen, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Passaic and Somerset counties in New Jersey.\nThis means that residents and business owners affected by flooding and other damage can apply for a host of Federal Emergency Management Administration programs to clean up, make repairs, and secure temporary housing.\nNew York Governor Kathy Hochul said on Sunday Wednesday’s storm caused at least $ 50 million in damage; the state had to prove at least $ 30 million in damages to have a disaster declaration approved. The dollar amount in New Jersey was not available – and Ida’s true cost in the tri-state area probably won’t be known for some time.\nBut the statements, which were released on Sunday, do not include some areas that suffered damage during Ida. In New York City, Manhattan is the most notable exception – but the county is eligible for certain federal government assistance programs.\nIn New Jersey, Hudson County was excluded from the disaster declaration, prompting Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop to call Governor Phil Murphy.\n“It is absolutely insane / shameful that Hudson County was not included on this list,” he tweeted to his fellow Democrat. “We had the storm as severe as any county in NJ with a higher population density. I urge you to work with our federal officials to resolve this issue.\nFulop added that the damage to Jersey City’s infrastructure alone exceeded $ 35 million, above the threshold for a disaster declaration.\nMurphy, visiting flood-damaged areas of Lambertville on Labor Day, said Biden’s declaration of major disaster will allow individuals to receive assistance, including grants for temporary housing and home repairs and low cost loans to cover losses of uninsured property. He added that he would speak to Biden during his visit about the addition of other counties to the major disaster declaration.\nIn New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio, Senator Chuck Schumer and United States Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent part of the morning visiting the storm damage in Queens with Deanne Criswell, the former chief of the emergency management of the city which is now the administrator of the federal emergency. Management agency.\nA resident greeted de Blasio with an arm over his shoulder and a joke about their flooded homes.\n“Welcome to Woodside,” she said. “We have swimming pools in every house. So you can put on your swimsuit and swim with us.\nIn the Hudson Valley, Metro-North said commuter rail service would return to rush hour Tuesday morning after crews removed several feet of mud from the tracks and restored faded slopes and ballast. Two of the four tracks on the Hudson Line remain out of service for repairs between Riverdale and Tarrytown.\nAt least 17 people have died in New York after the historic and devastating Ida floods last week. In the early hours of the storm, neighborhoods saw a month of rain in just one hour, catching millions of people by surprise as floodwaters quickly flooded the streets and poured into countless basements.\nIt is the speed of the deadly storm that the governor wants to be prepared for in the near and distant future.\n“I guess it could happen again in 10 days,” Hochul said while calling for an improved warning system.\nIn anticipation of future climate threats, the governor announced millions of federal dollars that she planned to allocate to storm resilience. Hochul said there is $ 378 million in risk migration funding previously awarded by FEMA that will be redirected to improved infrastructure. She called on local authorities to help her identify projects that require immediate attention.\n“I ask all of our local elected officials: tell me where the challenges are, tell me what you know that could happen in a week if the same weather event occurs and we will go straight to these places first.”\nHochul also encourages New Yorkers to check out the newest online resource to find additional information about applying for FEMA financial assistance and accessing shelter and food.\nTo apply for federal disaster assistance, visit www.disasterassistance.gov or by calling 1-800-462-7485.", "domain": "geography"}

BWH is world renowned for its clinical and basic investigations into acute kidney injury, as the site of the first kidney transplant, and as the institution that developed the Kolff-Brigham kidney that made it possible to sustain life on dialysis. BWH and its affiliated hospitals serve a diverse patient population including the Mission Hill, Roslindale, Jamaica Plain, and Hyde Park neighborhoods of Boston, and its health centers extend to the southern and western suburbs, down to Foxborough and Gillette Stadium. BWH also benefits from a robust international referral base including cases from all 50 states and internationally from Bermuda to the Middle East and beyond. From bread and butter diabetes and hypertension to the rarest of presentations, fellows at BWH will see it all. The BWH renal services are divided into consult, ICU, dialysis and transplant services. BWH will feature exposure to SLE and autoimmune diseases, extensive onco-nephrology, given the close proximity and formal affiliation with Dana Farber Cancer Institute, as well as complex renal transplant cases and a robust solid organ transplant program including heart and lung transplants as well as ventricular assistive devices. BWH also serves a large outpatient dialysis population, both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, and features a thriving interventional nephrology program managing all aspects of dialysis access.\nMassachusetts General Hospital\nMassachusetts General Hospital, the oldest and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, is a 1000-bed hospital situated on the banks of the Charles River and bordering Beacon Hill. MGH houses the largest hospital-based research program in the world, is consistently the top ranked hospital in the Northeast by U.S. News and World Report, and is the only adult hospital in New England to offer all types of transplants currently available. MGH and its affiliated hospitals serve a diverse patient population from nearby Beacon Hill and the North and West Ends of Boston to the North Shore, including Cambridge, Medford, Revere, and Chelsea, with opportunities to impact disadvantaged communities. MGH is similarly divided into four services – consult, ICU, dialysis and transplant. MGH is an international referral center and fellows will see everything, from rare presentations of routine conditions, to the rarest of disorders. MGH fellows will gain extensive exposure to ANCA, anti-GBM and other vasculitides through the world-renowned MGH Vasculitis and Glomerulonephritis Center, as well as extensive experience in renal transplant, especially living donor transplantation, as well as hepatorenal syndrome and renal consequences of liver transplantation. MGH also boasts a world-renowned calcific uremic arteriopathy (“calciphylaxis”) multidisciplinary program. Finally, like BWH, MGH serves a large outpatient hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis population, and has an extensive access program staffed collaboratively between interventional nephrologists and radiologists.\nVA Boston Healthcare System\nThe VA Boston Healthcare System (VABHS) cares for over 50,000 patients annually. The VA rotation alternates weeks at the West Roxbury VA, home to the inpatient service, and the Jamaica Plain VA, home to the continuity clinics and outpatient dialysis unit. Veterans served by the VABHS present with the full array of renal pathology, and the VA experience also exposes fellows to systems based practice within a closed healthcare system that takes full responsibility for patient care across the care continuum – the original accountable care organization. First year fellows benefit from the one-on-one attention of devoted faculty at the VA, while setting aside time to read and solidify their learning on what is generally a lighter rotation.\nFirst year fellows attend weekly continuity clinics with an assigned preceptor from each primary hospital. Both BWH and MGH offer a mixture of general nephrology and transplant clinic opportunities, as well as sub-specialty clinics such as onco-nephrology or vasculitis clinics to which fellows can be assigned. As second years, fellows often choose to continue in their same continuity clinic at their identified academic home, although fellows can also explore new clinic experiences in second year and beyond.\nOvernights at BWH and MGH are covered by a night float fellow Sunday through Friday nights from 8pm-6am. A short call fellow remains in each hospital until 8pm for any late day consults or dialysis needs. Saturdays are “long call” days covered by a first year fellow at each hospital until the next morning.\nNight Float duties are covered primarily by second year fellows one week at a time for four weeks each over the course of the year. One night float fellow covers both BWH and MGH with the VA fellow and the attendings on the respective services available in the event of simultaneous needs at both hospitals. First years do one week of Night Float each during first year. There is limited Night Float the weeks of ASN Kidney Week, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s and the In-Training Exam with most nights those weeks covered as “long call” by an assigned first year fellow each night at each hospital.\nFirst-year fellows have two weeks of electives. This includes a one-week selective focused on interventional nephrology and access management where they evaluate dialysis accesses in access clinic as well as observe and participate in access procedures including temporary and tunneled catheter placements and fistulograms and interventions including thrombectomy, angioplasty, and stenting. Options for the second elective week include: (1) Outpatient and home dialysis; (2) renal pathology; (3) Pediatric nephrology; (4) glomerulonephritis and onco-nephrology; and (5) renal palliative care.\nEach fellow has 4 weeks of vacation that can be taken in one- or two-week increments, divided evenly between the two halves of the year. Second and third years have four weeks of vacation per year that they can utilize as they wish, coordinating any time off with their continuity clinic attending and any other clinical duties.", "domain": "geography"}

Yet, the risks associated with data breaches and intellectual property concerns cannot be overlooked. Protecting confidential information and maintaining data integrity is essential, especially in a digital age where cyber threats are ever-present.\nTwo prominent outsourcing options to consider are nearshore and offshore outsourcing. Nearshore outsourcing, in particular, is exceptional in reducing the risks associated with data breaches and intellectual property concerts. Organizations can efficiently optimize their operations thanks to factors like geographic proximity and commonly shared regulations.\nUnderstanding Nearshore and Offshore Outsourcing\nBefore diving into the security aspects of nearshore outsourcing, let’s briefly differentiate between nearshore and offshore outsourcing.\nNearshore outsourcing involves partnering with service providers located in neighboring or nearby countries, typically within the same region or time zone as the outsourcing company. For businesses in North America, this could mean outsourcing customer service or software development services to countries in Latin America or Canada.\nNearshore outsourcing typically brings many benefits, like:\n- Minimal time zone differences, allowing for easier collaboration and communication\n- Lower travel costs for occasional in-person meetings\n- Cultural affinity and shared context from geographic proximity\nOffshore outsourcing, on the other hand, involves collaborating with service providers situated in distant countries, often in different continents. Popular offshore outsourcing destinations include countries in Asia, such as India and the Philippines.\nThese services bring perks such as:\n- Significantly lower labor costs due to lower wages in the provider’s country\n- Access to a larger talent pool by expanding the search globally\n- Time zone differences that can enable 24/7 productivity\nCommon Security Considerations in Nearshore and Offshore Outsourcing\nOutsourcing software development and other critical services introduces potential data security risks that must be evaluated. When partnering with an external vendor, proprietary code, databases, and other sensitive assets may be exposed. Failing to secure data and intellectual property properly can lead to theft, leaks, compliance violations, and loss of competitive advantage.\nA primary concern is ensuring strong access controls. Giving outsourcing partners excessive access rights to systems can enable data exfiltration or malicious actions. As such, access should be limited to only what is necessary for the vendor to complete their contracted work.\nAdditionally, encryption is critical for securing data in transit and at rest. Networks, endpoints, databases, code repositories, and other systems must be encrypted. Proper key management procedures must also be in place.", "domain": "geography"}

Located in the northern part of Nagano Prefecture, the hot springs and ski town of 5,000 draws both Tokyo weekenders and a small, in-the-know crowd of international visitors. Here's my list of top things to do during your visit to Nozawa Onsen.\n1. Ski fresh powder at Nozawa Onsen resort.\nThough it's not a big power player, Nozawa Onsen's ski resort boasts a vertical drop of 1,085 meters and wonderfully soft powder. With the terrain pretty evenly divvied up among advanced, intermediate, and beginner, there's something for everyone here.\nThe resort feels like an intimate, family run joint with two gondola lifts and 18 ski lifts. It's very much polar opposite of the super-commercial ski resorts of Tahoe or Colorado. Lift tickets are a fraction of the cost of a Colorado mountain (a one-day adult pass is 4,300 yen - or $43 USD!), so you can ski a couple of days guilt-free. Japan doesn't really have a strong apres ski culture, but you can definitely get some cold Asahis on the mountain. Snow season runs from December until May.\n2. Bathe in one of the public hot springs.\nOff the slopes, visitors love enjoying good soak in a soto no yu, or public hot springs bath. Relax in one of the 13 public baths, which are open from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm. There are typically areas for changing, storing your clothes, and rinsing off before you get in the bath, but bring your own towel from your ryokan. The mineral water in Nozawa is nearly scaldingly hot, so be careful getting in.\nThe baths are a deeply rooted part of the village and are open to all, free of charge. Outside the onsens, there are little boxes for donations. Locals clean and maintain the baths, so be sure to study up on onsen etiquette.\n3. Stay at a traditional ryokan.\nStay a night or two at a ryokan—a traditional Japanese inn, commonly found near scenic areas away from the city. Typical ryokans are a little pricier than a western hotel room, but often include dinner and/or breakfast in the price.\nRyokan rooms have tatami floors and futons for sleeping; usually, there's a common bathing area that pipes in hot springs water. (Many also offer western-style beds, though, if you're not comfortable sleeping on the floor.)\nDuring our time in Nozawa, we stayed at the Kawamotoya Ryokan for about $160 USD a night. I try to include a ryokan stay on every trip to Japan—there's something about them that's so peaceful and meditative.\nLocation : 8955 Toyosato, Nozawa Onsen Mura, Shimo Takai Gun 389-2502\n4. See the Jigokudani snow monkeys.\nHumans aren't the only ones who love a hot bath. Over 160 Macaque monkeys live in Jigokudani, which means \"Hell's Valley.\" You'll take a short hike up to their habitat, where you'll find snow monkeys playing, tussling, and bathing blissfully in the natural hot springs.\nThere are also some human-friendly baths and shower facilities on-site, plus a toasty little soba shop. If you aren't driving yourself, most ryokans in the area can help you organize a trip.\nJigokudani Yaen-Koen Snow Monkey Park\nLocation : 6845 Heion, Yamanouchi-machi, Shimotakai-gun 381-0401, Nagano Prefecture\nPrice : ¥800/adult, ¥400/child (up to age 17)\n5. Eat an onsen tamago, a hot springs egg.\nIt turns out temperature-stable geothermal hot spring waters have the exact level of heat needed to make wonderfully soft-cooked eggs. You'll come across spots around town where shell-on eggs are cooking in hot spring water. They make for the silkiest eggs!\nSeveral of the onsens have little boxes located outside with hot springs running through them. You can drop the eggs in before you get in, and they'll be perfectly done when you emerge.", "domain": "geography"}

Volcanoes and Earthquakes by Sarah and Gordon Ell is part of Oratia’s ‘The NZ Series’ and this extract is reproduced with permission.\nBy bringing molten rocks to the surface, volcanoes can deposit useful minerals on the surface of the earth. The molten rock (magma) may cool in various forms such as andesite or basalt. Inside these rocks there may be crystals or precious metals. Their composition is determined by the kinds of rock beneath the earth, and the effects on them of heat.\nMagma flowing from the mouth of a volcano is known as lava. Sometimes it flows quite swiftly, forming a surface skin, while molten rock, at 1000°C or more, rushes underneath like an underground river. At other times it moves slowly, twisting and breaking as it cools, into piles of broken rock and scoria. There may be ‘bombs’ of rock thrown from the volcano as molten lumps, reshaped as they cool, falling to earth like giant stone teardrops.\nSometimes [lava] flows quite swiftly, forming a surface skin, while molten rock, at 1000°C or more, rushes underneath like an underground river.\nRock formations caused by flowing rivers of basalt are sometimes called pahoehoe, and produce billowing shapes, pillows of lava as may be seen in the cliffs at Oamaru and at Muriwai, west of Auckland. The broken surface of the rock produced by an aa (pronounced ‘ah-ah’) type eruption can be seen on Rangitoto Island and the scoria fields about the Auckland volcanoes, and at Mt Tongariro.\nTephra is a name used by geologists to describe material ejected as particles by a volcano (rather than lava, which flows as a mass of molten rock). Volcanic ash is a form of tephra, not the remains of something that has been burned like wood ash, for there is little burning in the volcano. The ‘smoke’ and ‘fire’ we may see during a volcanic eruption are actually gases escaping from the molten rock. Much of that gas is steam, and most ‘smoke’ coming out of a volcano is ash-charged steam.\nUnder New Zealand, the Australian and Pacific plates grind against each other, causing earthquakes and allowing molten rock to reach the surface and escape as volcanoes. (image: Tim Galloway)\nThese gases, erupting with the molten rock, may roar up into the sky in vast clouds. Volcanic ash and pumice then coat the land surrounding the volcano. Pumice is a rock light enough to float on water: gas has filled it with holes which help it float. Pumice from the central North Island is often found on west coast beaches, washed down to the sea by the Waikato River.\nVolcanic eruptions may vary in violence with the amount of gas built up in the molten rock. Where the rock is free-flowing the volcano may erupt quite gently, the basalt lava streaming away from the crater, as the gases escape easily into the atmosphere. This is how the little volcanoes of the Auckland isthmus were born.\nWhere the rock is thick and tacky, in its molten form, then it is difficult for the gases to escape. The result may be a catastrophic explosion. In such a way, great clouds of gas lifted the heart out of Lake Taupo in a huge eruption recorded as a darkening of the skies by the ancient Greeks and Romans, on the other side of the earth. Molten rock is carried high into the air, often expanding with the gases, to form great showers of pumice which then falls on the land.\n[…Great] clouds of gas lifted the heart out of Lake Taupo in a huge eruption recorded as a darkening of the skies by the ancient Greeks and Romans, on the other side of the earth.\nIn another kind of eruption, gas may escape across the surface of the land carrying with it a wall of hot sand, molten glass fragments and pumice. The rush of material flattens any forest and settles as a mantle across the land. In such a way the central North Island has been built up into the Volcanic Plateau. Successive pumice showers overlay thick beds of ignimbrite rocks created by these gaseous eruptions.\nMuch of the central North Island, north from Taupo and Tarawera, is covered in tephra from volcanic explosions. It may be seen in layers from successive eruptions, in places like road cuttings and riverbanks. The roots and branches of trees, overcome by the eruptions, are often still to be seen in the layers.\nIt may be seen in layers from successive eruptions, in places like road cuttings and riverbanks.\nGeologists have given names to the various ash showers, the layers of mud and pumice which cover the land. Like a layer cake, they show the extent and violence of various eruptions. The Tarawera eruption of 1886 scattered pumice over some 900 square kilometres, while the Taupo eruption some 1800 years ago covered some 6000 square kilometres.\nThe weather and existing rivers may re-sort the deposits of ash. A river, held back by a new fall of ash, may form a temporary pond. When the dam of soft material bursts then the rush of water may coat the countryside in volcanic mud. Such mud flows are called lahars, and may leave hillocks on the land, as can be seen approaching the Chateau Tongariro Hotel and about Mt Taranaki. A mud flow bursting from the crater lake of Ruapehu in 1953 swept down the Tangiwai River, washing out a railway bridge and causing the deaths of 151 people when an overnight express train plunged into the river.\nThe kinds of minerals produced by volcanoes depend on the kinds of rocks melted under-ground. Broken fields of basalt may produce the red scoria used in roading work. Sometimes rocks fuse to form glass particles and even sheets of black glass called obsidian. Maori people used splinters of this glass from Mayor Island and Northland as tools to cut and scrape food.\nThe cones of mountains like Ngauruhoe and Taranaki are easy to identify as volcanoes. Yet there are other landforms created by volcanic activity that are not so obviously formed in this way. In places huge explosions have blown a hole in the earth, which is now filled with fresh water, like Lake Taupo. Perhaps a giant volcano has emptied itself and the countryside above has collapsed into the giant chamber that once held molten rock, such as the caldera of Lake Rotorua. Sometimes molten rock has simply oozed up from a fissure and built up a dome of rock, like Mt Ngongotaha at Rotorua.\nThe cones of mountains like Ngauruhoe and Taranaki are easy to identify as volcanoes. Yet there are other landforms created by volcanic activity that are not so obviously formed in this way.\nErosion can over time reveal other forms, such as the plugs and dykes that were once the molten skeletons of long-lost volcanoes, like the Coromandel Ranges.\nCone volcanoes, such as Ngauruhoe and Taranaki, are built up over centuries from steep layers of lava and ash. Such cones may produce secondary outlets as their main ‘throat’ becomes blocked with cooling magma.\nShield volcanoes are formed by runny magna, which flows quickly to form a smooth mound. Such volcanoes are quite easy to find in northern New Zealand. Often they are quite small, less than 100 metres high, such as the little Bay of Islands and Auckland cones. Their form is quickly produced, perhaps within two or three years, as basalt-type volcanoes rapidly exhaust their magma.\nExtracted with permission from The NZ Series: Volcanoes and Earthquakes by Gordon Ell and Sarah Ell, published by Oratia Books.\nVolcanoes And Earthquakes\nBy Gordon Ell and Sarah Ell\nPublished by Oratia Books", "domain": "geography"}

I then export all of them unedited to a folder on my computer.\nI go through every image individually and star my favourite ones so I can come back and edit them, this saves me a lot of time! I roughly edit the selected photos using; crop, exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, vibrance and clarity.\nSubject: Mayan ruins\nBrief: Photograph the landmarks and points of interest of the Mayan temples from my trip to Chichen Itza, Mexico.\nEquipment: Sony a5000, Sony E-Mount 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 lens.\nPost Production: Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop\nInspiration: Fernando Guerra, John Huba\nAt the beginning of 2016 my luck hit and all time high as I was fortunate enough to win a holiday to Cancun, Mexico, from a competition I entered in 2015. Me and my girlfriend decided to go during the Easter holidays, to which I thought was the perfect opportunity to capture some great images for my assignment! We did many exciting activities but one of the perks of the trip was getting to explore the 5000 year old Mayan temples at Chichen Itza. I took many photographs on the day trip, here are my top 5.\nThis is the main temple at Chichen Itza. Its design has one side facing the sun with segments between each step that shades the other side, giving this amazing light and dark effect. I really like this image as it shows a great example of that effect taking place, showing one half exposed and the other shaded. Having the composition of the temple straight down the middle, almost splits the image into two segments.\nWhilst you walk around the site there are many market stalls that sell handcrafted wooden masks, these masks are suppose to resemble those that the Mayans would wear and decorate their constructions with. This mask was perfectly lit by a small gap of light shining through the forest trees, leaving the two on each side darkened by the shade. The details and colours are illuminated, making this image pop.\nAnother photograph of the ‘light side’ of the Mayan temple. From this perspective you get an idea of how big the structure is with other tourists stood underneath it. This photo is made by the composition and symmetry, the stair case straight down the centre, then the zig-zag pattern either side of it work in harmony.\nThe market stalls also sell materialistic pieces such as clothing and bowls. This stall particularly caught my eye due to the amount of vibrant colours. This photo works for the reason, its vibrancy, as well as the pattern and structure of the layout.\nThis stall sold small handcrafted wooden masks, similar to the previous photo the structure of the layout along with the vibrant colours makes this photo interesting to look at. Applying to both this image and the last one – I decided to use the photographs with higher aperture as I believed it looked better when the whole image was in focus, allowing you too see every detail. I have similar copies shot in f/3.5 that focus on the centre, leaving the fore/background out of focus, but didn’t have the same impact.\nI researched multiple interviews with different photographers to get inspirations as to which questions I could ask. I came up with a list of questions and then narrowed them down to 8. I split them up into subcategories covering career, style & equipment and inspiration, that way I had some context to the questions I was asking.\nThe idea behind my shoot was to create something editorial, I wanted to use post production to make something artistic. I also wanted my photographs to have a meaning behind them, a message that can be conveyed through an image. A simple Google search bought me to a variety of ideas I could imitate. Seeing a few clever ideas, I found one that really stood out and would be realistic to achieve via post production\nHowever, I didn’t want to copy it exactly the same so I thought about how I could make it have a meaning. I took the feature of colouring the eyes, but removed the paint brush and instead chose to create a frame with the subject’s hands.\nI wanted to convey the meaning along the lines of “creativity is in the eyes of the beholder” and the importance of our vision. How we see the world through our own eyes and the colours and details we can appreciate. The fingers creating a box represents the window we see through or can be interpreted as a reference to photography, creating the frame of an image.\nDavid Pullum is a UK based wedding photographer with plenty of experience in the industry.

I live in a small town near the Great Smoky Mountains, and the springs here are lush and green. We're also far enough south that it's sometimes possible to overwinter some plants. I've discovered that my favorite plants are wild and delicate, like the Japanese bloodroot that hides in the shade, with its white flowers sheltering behind broad green leaves; like the pink-flowered wild geranium; like the white foamflower that grows so well in the local woods. Impatiens, so easy to grow in dark, out-of-the-way places, were once my favorite flowers, since almost nothing (except the squirrels and skunks that snap stems in containers while looking for grubs) can keep them from growing and spreading over the summer. But I find that I'm slowly relegating them to places further away from the public walkway. Once I loved nothing better than bright patches of impatiens, zinnias, and marigolds, but lush greenness in dappled light from the woods and pine trees is what I crave these days.", "domain": "geography"}

In February 1611, Hartog married 18-year-old Meynsgen Abels at Amsterdam’s Oude Kerk (Old Church), the same church in which he was baptised. It is not known whether the couple had any children.\nBefore joining the VOC in 1615, Hartog traded as a private merchant and skippered the small vessel Dolphyn (Dolphin) to a number of Baltic and Mediterranean ports. In January 1616, aged 35, he became the skipper of the 700-tonne Eendracht on its maiden voyage to Bantam in the East Indies. The ship embarked from Texel in North Holland along with four other vessels. It had a crew of 200 and carried 10 money chests containing 80,000 reales (pieces of eight), valued at about 200,000 guilders, which were to be delivered to VOC trading posts in the East Indies.1\nHartog saw ‘several islands, though uninhabited’, behind which a vast mainland could be seen.\nIn August 1616 Eendracht arrived at the Cape of Good Hope alone, after becoming separated from the fleet during a storm. It was restocked with supplies of fresh fruit, vegetables and drinking water, before departing the Cape three weeks later following the new Brouwer route. Eendracht sailed too far east, however, resulting in an unexpected encounter with the then unknown west coast of Australia, where Hartog saw ‘several islands, though uninhabited’, behind which a vast mainland could be seen.2\nCape Inscription, Dirk Hartog Island\nOn 25 October 1616, Eendracht made landfall at the northern end of Dirk Hartog Island in Shark Bay, an area that was home to the Malgana people. Hartog and his crew spent two days ashore. The group examined the area thoroughly but determined that it held nothing of apparent commercial value. Before proceeding for Bantam on 27 October, they inscribed a testimony of their visit on a flattened pewter dinner plate.\nRecording their landing date, the name of the ship and its senior crew, and details of the onward journey, this act transformed an ephemeral engagement into a tangible mark of discovery. The Hartog plate was nailed to an oak post placed on the rocky cliff top, overlooking what is now known as Cape Inscription. The message on the plate is translated as:\n1616, 25 October, is here arrived the ship the Eendracht of Amsterdam, the upper-merchant Gillis Miebais of Liege, skipper Dirck Hatichs of Amsterdam; the 27th ditto set sail again for Bantam, the under-merchant Jan Stins, the upper-steersman Pieter Dookes van Bill, Anno 1616.\nIn December 1616, Eendracht reached Macassar, where 16 of its crew were killed in a confrontation with locals.3 Hartog then visited a number of trading posts to deliver the money chests, before departing Bantam one year later for the return passage to the Netherlands, arriving in the province of Zeeland in October 1618.\nFollowing his history-making voyage, Hartog left the employment of the VOC and became the skipper of Geluckige Leeu (Lucky Lion), which sailed to various European ports. Dirk Hartog died in 1621, shortly before reaching the age of 41, and was buried in the grounds of the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) in Amsterdam. The Eendracht, which embarked on a second voyage to the East Indies in May 1619, was eventually wrecked off the west coast of Ambon Island in May 1622. The wreck site has not been located.\nThe Land of the Eendracht\nHartog’s landing in 1616 had a significant impact on world geography and cartography, and foreshadowed a series of Dutch, British and French expeditions that would gradually, over the course of two centuries, put Australia on the map. As he sailed north from Shark Bay to Bantam, Hartog charted some 400 kilometres of the Western Australian coastline and named it after his ship, ’t Landt van de Eendracht (the Land of the Eendracht) or Eendrachtsland. This name soon began to appear on maps of the world, in place of the mythical Terra Australis Incognita. Among the earliest were the 1618 and 1627 outline charts by chief VOC cartographer Hessel Gerritsz.\nSuccessive Dutch navigators, including Abel Tasman and Willem de Vlamingh, would extend the charts of the western, northern and southern coasts to give shape to Hartog’s Eendrachtsland, which was also known as ’t Zuyd Landt (the South Land) or ’t Grote Zuyd Landt (the Great South Land). In 1642 Tasman sighted new land that he called Van Diemen’s Land (now Tasmania) after the Governor-General of the East Indies, Anthony van Diemen. In 1644 he completed charting a long stretch of northern coast from the Gulf of Carpentaria to North West Cape, connecting all the unfolding Dutch discoveries to form Hollandia Nova (New Holland). Tasman’s two voyages were the last major explorations of New Holland for some decades.\nProof of daring VOC ancestors\nDirk Hartog’s plate would lie undisturbed at its windswept island outpost for more than 80 years, until Willem de Vlamingh’s expedition in the ships Geelvinck (Yellow Finch), Nyptangh and Weseltje in 1696. De Vlamingh had been instructed to search for possible survivors from the wrecks of two VOC ships, Ridderschap van Holland (lost 1694) and Vergulde Draeck (Gilt Dragon, lost 1656), and also to chart the remainder of the western coast of New Holland. While he was unable to locate any trace of the missing ships, his expedition resulted in the mapping of nearly 1,500 kilometres of coastline, as well as the naming of Rottnest Island, the Swan River and Steep Point, the most westerly point of Australia.\nIn February 1697, de Vlamingh and his crew landed at Dirk Hartog Island and by sheer coincidence discovered the inscribed Hartog plate, lying half-buried in the sand beside its now decayed oak post. Recognising its historic significance, de Vlamingh took the Hartog plate on board and replaced it with a new one engraved with his predecessor’s original message, as well as a record of his own visit. The plate was nailed to a new post of cypress pine collected from Rottnest Island. The inscription on the de Vlamingh plate is translated as:\n1697, the 4 February, is here arrived the ship Geelvinck of Amsterdam; the commander and skipper Willem de Vlamingh of Vlieland, assistant Joannes Bremer of Copenhagen, upper-steersman Michil Bloem of the diocese of Bremen. The hooker the Nyptangh, skipper Gerrit Colaart of Amsterdam, assistant Theodoris Heirmans of the same, upper-steersman Gerrit Geritsen of Bremen. The galliot, the Weseltje, skipper Cornelis de Vlamingh of Vlieland, steersman Coert Gerritsen of Bremen; and from here set sail with our fleet to explore the Southland with destination Batavia.\nIn March 1697 de Vlamingh delivered Dirk Hartog’s plate to Batavia as ‘proof of the daring spirit of his ancestors’.4 The following year the plate was taken to the VOC headquarters, East India House, in Amsterdam, where it remained until the company was dissolved in 1799. In 1819 the plate was handed to the Koninklijk Kabinet van Zeldzaamheden (Royal Cabinet of Curiosities) in The Hague, which became part of the Rijksmuseum in 1883. Today it endures as a powerful icon of shared cultural heritage, symbolising the longstanding maritime connections between the Netherlands and Australia. In 1991 Dirk Hartog Island was included in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area, in recognition of its outstanding natural universal values, while the Cape Inscription area was added to Australia’s National Heritage List in 2006 as a place of national significance.\nThe de Vlamingh plate has been in the collection of the Western Australian Maritime Museum in Fremantle since 1950. It was discovered by French Captain Emmanuel Hamelin of Naturaliste (part of Nicolas Baudin’s expedition) in 1801, and then recovered from the sands of time in 1818 by the French explorer Louis de Freycinet, who presented it to the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in Paris. The plate was rediscovered in 1940 and returned to Australia by the French government in 1947. It is one of the few material reminders of pre-British, 17th-century Dutch encounters with the continent that would come to be known as Australia.\nThe Dutch ultimately abandoned their interest in New Holland in the mid-18th century, having found nothing of commercial value in what they deemed a barren and inhospitable land. In 1770 the British navigator Lieutenant James Cook charted the elusive east coast of New Holland and named it New South Wales. In 1801–1803, Matthew Flinders’ circumnavigation showed that Terra Australis was an island, and not part of a larger southern landmass. Hartog’s Eendrachtsland, New Holland and the Great South Land were finally revealed to be one continent – Australia.\n- Phillip E Playford, ‘Hartog, Dirk (1580–1621)’, Australian Dictionary of Biography.\n- J P Sigmond and L H Zuiderbaan, Dutch Discoveries of Australia: Shipwrecks, Treasures and Early Voyages off the West Coast, Batavian Lion, Amsterdam, 1995, p 36.\n- Although Bantam is listed as the onward destination on the Hartog plate, VOC log books indicate Eendracht visited the Dutch factory at Macassar before sailing on to Banda and Bantam.

The fellowship provides artists with the resources to develop a large-scale project on their own terms in their own local contexts.\nDeborah Jack (pronouns: she/her) will create To Make A Map of My Memory: Wayfinding Along Synaptic Topographies, linking cultural memory preservation in St. Maarten with climate justice through an archive of oral histories, a connected film, and multimedia installation. She will center the experiences of communities in small island nations bearing the brunt of climate disasters and work collaboratively with her community in St. Maarten to produce self-determined narratives and representations that confront issues of colonial extraction and cultural commodification for touristic consumption. Jack will combine voices and recollections on the island’s shifting landscape from elders in St. Maarten with archival imagery, vernacular photography, and present-day images of the changed landscape to create a poetic documentary project. With To Make a Map of My Memory, Jack underscores the importance of preserving these intangible histories within the broader collective memory of smaller islands and advocates for the value of island consciousness as a counter and cure to the extractive nature of landlocked continental forces.\nJack is a multidisciplinary artist based between St. Maarten and Jersey City whose work includes video installation, photography, and text. Her practice engages a variety of strategies for mining the intersections of histories, cultural memory, ecology, and climate change. Her work was featured in the exhibition Forecast Form: Art in the Caribbean Diaspora, 1990s-Today at the MCA Chicago and will travel to ICA Boston in Fall 2023. In Fall 2021, a retrospective, Deborah Jack: 20 Years, was presented at Pen + Brush in New York City. Her work is in the collections of the MCA Chicago and the Smith College Museum of Art. Deborah received a Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists (2021) and she is a 2023 Changing Climate Resident at the Santa Fe Art Institute, as well as a Surf Point Foundation Artist in Residence. Deborah is currently a Professor of Art at New Jersey City University.[. . .]\nChemi Rosado-Seijo (pronouns: he/him) will work with residents from El Cerro, Puerto Rico, to transform the community into a “Green Barriada,” a self-sustaining and environmentally resilient community. El Cerro: From Metaphor to Reality seeks to position El Cerro as a model for energy, hydric, and food sovereignty. Rosado-Seijo will collaborate with this ancestral community to invest in its survival capacity and knowledge by building and teaching residents how to sustain energy and water-resilient homes through harvesting solar energy and rainwater. The construction of informal orchards and five new community gardens will encourage research about the agricultural history of El Cerro. The residents are instrumental partners in the design and implementation of these agro-ecological practices and community-led solutions for climate, environmental, and economic justice. The artist will collect and document these experiences, working methods, social and educational impact, and project histories to share in a print publication serving as a testament to the possibilities for other communities.\nRosado-Seijo is an artist who uses organizing, visual art, and sculpture to tell the story of his Puerto Rican identity and community. In 2020, Rosado-Seijo was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art‘s education department to develop a project entitled Beyond the Uniform, which engaged Museum of Modern Art‘s security department officers. He currently has a long term site-specific sculptural skate bowl at Art Omi. From 2009–2014, Rosado-Seijo organized exhibitions in his apartment in Santurce, creating a center for meeting and exchange in the Puerto Rican contemporary art scene. In 2006, together with Roberto “Boly” Cortez, they inaugurated La Perla’s Bowl, a sculpture built with residents of San Juan’s La Perla community that functions as both a skateboarding ramp and a pool. Since 2002, Rosado-Seijo has worked with residents of the El Cerro community to present art projects, workshops, and other initiatives. Rosado-Seijo had his first solo show at the Joan Miró Foundation, Barcelona (2000). Before that he worked with Michy Marxuach to open a gallery in 1998 that transformed into a not-for-profit organization presenting resources and exhibitions for contemporary artists in Puerto Rico.\nFor more information, see https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/grants/soros-arts-fellowship Also see https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/fellows/chemi-rosado-seijo and https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/fellows/deborah-jack", "domain": "geography"}

In fact, it’s actually estimated that about 80% of plastics currently polluting oceans worldwide come from land-based sources!\nThese single-use plastics, usually in the form of plastic bottles, have usually been dropped into water or beach areas as litter, and are mostly collected by volunteers, to prevent them from making it to the ocean and doing further damage there. This is because, due to the nature of ocean water, which contains high quantities of salt, single-use plastics become degraded and completely unviable for recycling, meaning that even if it were possible for these bottles to be removed from the ocean, they would just end up at a landfill and further contributing to greater pollution.\nExperts currently define Prevented Ocean Plastic as plastic which is found within 30 miles of a coastal area or a major waterway which feeds into the ocean, but this definition does also include plastic which could in some way otherwise harm marine life.\nMost commonly, these plastics are found to be harming water across South East Asia, South America, and the Galapagos Islands, the Mediterranean, Central America, and the Carribean, so it’s truly a worldwide issue.\nWhat can I do to help?\nThe most simple answer is: recycle! Whilst these schemes are a great way to deal with the growing waste problem we’re facing globally, recycling your single used plastics is by far the best way to do your bit, so these plastics aren’t likely to end up in bodies of water in the first place!\nAside from that, as with most eco-friendly and sustainable materials, the more demand there is, the more recycling processes will be prioritised, and the more these recycled ocean plastics can be utilised! Luckily, there are lots of ways in which various companies are getting involved with these schemes, so you will be able to make some changes that can help! For example, some supermarkets are now getting involved in incorporating these recycled ocean plastics into their packaging, so it’s always worth doing your research and keeping your eye out for the Prevented Ocean Plastics logo where possible!\nAnother option to help this important cause is to try and purchase more recycled plastic products, such as rPET (recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) or recycled Polyester, which are made from two of the largest contributors to Ocean Bound Plastic!\nThere’s plenty to be done and lots of global organisations to help, so please do try and get involved if possible.\nWe hope you found this information useful, and we’re so delighted that Team GB’s artistic swimming duet have chosen to opt for recycled ocean plastic costumes this year, to further highlight this incredibly important cause.\nIf you’d like to find out more about these recycled ocean plastics, please head over to preventedoceanplastic.com, where you can also find out what you can do to help!\n0 Comments for “Spotlight on Prevented Ocean Plastic”", "domain": "geography"}

The four-year grant award of $14.2 million, from USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture, is critical to expanding the Double Up Oklahoma (DUO) program to farmers markets and grocery stores in high-need areas across the state. Double Up Oklahoma offers a dollar-for-dollar match, up to $20 per day, on SNAP purchases for qualifying fruits and vegetables at participating locations.*\nAccording to Richard Comeau, Senior Director of Programs at Hunger Free Oklahoma, the USDA grant will be transformative for Oklahoma with the potential to reach 50 of Oklahoma’s most food insecure communities.\n“We will be working with communities and partners across the state to identify areas where access to nutritious food is severely limited and implementing programs that really meet the community’s needs,” said Comeau. “Oklahomans living in food deserts, rural communities, and areas with high health disparities will all have access to more nutritious food, improved food security, and the ability to stretch their budgets further amidst rising inflation and the end of COVID-19 support programs.”\nHunger Free Oklahoma has operated the Double Up Oklahoma program since 2019; at that time the program only existed at farmers markets. In the past three years, through strategic growth and partnerships, DUO has expanded and currently operates in 10 grocery stores, as well as 17 independent farmers markets across the state. Expanding the number of stores over the next four years will offer increased options and access to fresh fruits and vegetables for participating communities. Hunger Free Oklahoma believes this will have a huge impact on those communities.\n“We are grateful to the USDA and the National Institute for Food and Agriculture for this opportunity and to all supporters who contributed towards the matching funds required to apply for this grant,” said Chris Bernard, Executive Director at Hunger Free Oklahoma. “Collectively, this support will allow us to make Double Up Oklahoma the largest nutrition incentive program in the region.

Aided by the wonders of an English passport, I am provided with very few visa complications around the world. I have travelled through almost 40 countries; each one carrying its own gem of uniqueness. Though, it was in Cambodia during a 9-month trip through Asia that I became quite disinterested in the conventional methods of travel. After all, it’s not about the destination, but about the journey, right? Apologies to the cramped buses, full of boozy ‘slack’ packers, that lost my custom, but I decided to invest more in the ‘journey’ side of traveling.\nIt was in Battambang, a city just southwest of Siam Reap where my travel buddy and I invested in two fixed-gear bicycles for $10 each. Using bungee cords and rope we attached our backpacks to the loose racks on the back of the bicycles, and began cycling south with no clear destination in mind.\nThe feeling of using your body to propel yourself across large masses of land is unexplainable.\nAdventurously, instead of going directly from A to Z, you’re given the freedom to explore the many escapades that await, hidden, among the other 24 letters of the alphabet. As slow as this may seem, watching the environment pass you by while on a bicycle seems somewhat more visceral than through the transparent divide of a window. Being forced to stop due to a flat tire, or mild fatigue can allow you to elicit the most interesting of conversations from the wildest of characters.\nPhysically, the demand is wherever you want it to be. You have full control on how far you would like to push yourself for the day. Your heart rate remains at a steady, slightly elevated pace, for the entire journey. Meaning, unlike any other vacation, you finish your holiday in better shape than when you started.\nEnvironmentally, you’re doing the world a big favour. The tourism industry is responsible for 5 – 12% of global greenhouse emissions (1), with air travel being the largest contributor of those emissions. Whereas cycling is the most environmentally efficient way to travel, who doesn’t want to reduce their carbon footprint using their feet?\nCurious about your personal Carbon Footprint? Calculate yours here: http://www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx\nAfter 3 weeks of cycling around Cambodia, covering over 1000 km, I rolled into Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on my faithful two-wheeled friend. Feeling tired, overwhelmed, and accomplished, I sensed that the small world that I was used to traveling had now become much larger.\nI have now cycled over 5,000 km through 9 countries. Every trip reminds me how much more there is to see, and I can think of no better way to see it than from two wheels and a saddle.", "domain": "geography"}

The artwork takes inspiration from the book’s tagline – “Look at cocaine and all you see is powder. Look through cocaine and you see the world” and highlights four peaks representing the European cities with the highest consumption rates.\nInstalled in Greenwich overlooking the City, Nathan crafted the map over a week, after months of preparation, using 161kg of the class A drug’s moniker, 000 flour. This is the gram for gram equivalent of cocaine consumed in London every week – the highest of any capital in Europe – worth upwards of £6,400,000 in street value. The artwork highlights four peaks representing the European cities with the highest consumption rate. The tallest peak is London (161kg per week, 23kg per day), twice that of Barcelona (80.18kg per week, 12.74kg per day) which occupies second place, and almost three times that of Amsterdam and Berlin in third and fourth position with the smallest peaks.\nZeroZeroZero follows the journey, cost, and devastation of transporting a large shipment of cocaine from Mexico to Europe. The 7 x 5 metre artwork shines a sobering spotlight on the UK and European consumption rates of cocaine. It features the most popular shipping routes to Europe and the UK from South America, the Caribbean, West Africa and Brazil with seven cargo ships illustrating how 77% of cocaine is carried by sea.\nFeaturing an all-star cast including Andrea Riseborough, Dane DeHaan and Gabriel Byrne, fast-paced series ZeroZeroZero focuses on the buyers, sellers and brokers who drive the frenzied and lethal world of international drug trafficking, Commenting on the installation author Roberto Saviano said: “There is a river that flows under the big cities, a white river that originates in South America, which crosses Africa and branches out everywhere. Men and women, heads down, walk along the London boulevards... under their feet flows that white river, it flows impetuously.”\nArtist Nathan Wyburn added: “I’ve worked with all manner of unique ideas and mediums over the years. This intricate piece for NOW TV has been incredibly interesting to design but it’s also harrowing to see such shocking statistics piled high in flour form.”\nAccording to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA): ‘Cocaine is the most commonly used illicit stimulant drug in the European Union. Around 18 million adults (aged 15-64) in the EU have used cocaine at least once in their lifetime. Of these, around 3 million are young adults (aged 15-34) who have used the drug in the last year’.\nThe EMCDDA adds: ‘In 2018, the number of cocaine seizures and the quantity seized in the EU reached the highest levels ever recorded, with more than 110 000 seizures of cocaine reported, amounting to 181 tonnes’.\nFor support and guidance on cocaine use, and for more information on where to seek help, visit the NHS website or NOW TV’s charity partner The Mix. ZeroZeroZero is available on streaming service NOW TV and Sky Atlantic from 4th February.", "domain": "geography"}

The full marathon will do one loop of the half marathon course, then branch off at about mile 11 and go further into residential roads in Hampton. (Marathoners do NOT go past the Half Marathon finish or near the start)\nThe second loop of the marathon will contain 4 miles of different rural roads, then joins back up on the original course at mile 15.5 of the first loop. For better hydration, water stops are now 2 miles apart.\nAs of right now, the elevation guide we have shows this to be the flattest course in New England for a Marathon, and half marathon.\nThe course is certified and a Boston Qualifier with a start and finish mat for the half and full marathon.\nThe race course has been measured and certified according to the USATF and is a Boston Qualifier. (Certified NH11027RF)\nThere are two small hills at miles 4 and 6, but the highest elevation gain is only 60ft!\nHalf Marathon Elevation Chart\nFull Marathon Elevation chart\nBoth the Half marathon and the full marathon travel on mostly scenic country roads and include miles of oceanside views. The course is very flat - for New England - and has only one medium hill you travel over once in the half and twice in the full marathon.\nOur course starts in the center of Hampton Beach near C street, and north of the large Sea Shell. The starting line is about 1/4 mile north of the famous Seashell on Hampton beach. Before you start, why not plunge into the cool ocean water at Hampton Beach Park? It has a wide sandy beach with bath-house, showers and lifeguards (in the summer) along with blocks of attractions, restaurants, and hotels.\nThe race for the Marathon and Half all start in one place. Wave to all your friends and family as off you go south on Rt. 1A or Ocean Boulevard for about 1 mile with the Atlantic Ocean and Hampton Beach to your right.. After a foliage laden loop of Hampton's rural roads and neighborhoods the course heads for the small but picturesque town of North Hampton, first settled in 1639.\nFollowing the separation of New Hampshire from Massachusetts, this part of Hampton was known as \"North Hill\" or \"North Parish\". Just off the course are the Fuller Gardens, where you can enjoy two acres of formal flower gardens (hundreds of tulips and 2,000 rose bushes) on a turn-of-the-century estate.\nThere are century old historic homes, hay fields and stone walls all along the rural route. Some people love the inner loop even better than the famous ocean side of the course.\nThis is a \"loop\" course where the top of the loop eventually ends back up on Rt. 1A by mile 9. This loop includes some of the most scenic Atlantic Ocean roads on the rocky New Hampshire coast. Enjoy unobstructed views of the ocean and the rocky cliffs at Little Boars Head, a seaside promontory that became a fashionable summer resort in the 19th century, and contains elegant examples of Victorian and Edwardian architecture. You will travel on past North Hampton State Beach where it's still possible to find some peace and quiet, and you might even spot some hardy souls riding the waves. North Beach also has a sandy beach, bathhouse and lifeguards. Right on the water’s edge, the park offers beautiful gardens and places to spread out for a picnic or nap.\nAs you wind your way southward, you will have traveled the so-called “two-mile drive”, which is said to be the most spectacular ocean-side drive on the East Coast. On the left, nothing but ocean, on the right, expansive beautiful homes. Finally you'll return to finish at Hampton Beach and celebrate with a well-deserved after-race party.\nBoth the half and full marathoners run together until about mile 11. At about mile 11 the full Marathon separates from the Half Marathon. PLEASE be aware and listen to race marshals and see our large signs for the split.\nYou will end up back on on Winnacunnet Road and then wind through some delightful Hampton areas neighborhoods. So the Marathon course is different from the Half Marathon from about mile 13 to about mile 18.5. At mile 19.5 you will join back up with the half marathon course on Woodland street and go to North Hampton just like the first loop.\nThe marathon course has a medium grade hill at about mile 16.5 miles. This is the same loop we do in our Winter Half Marathon and this is a reasonably easy incline. The final 8 miles of the marathon course are the same as the half with those beautiful roads along the rugged New Hampshire coastline.", "domain": "geography"}

If you are located near the Gulf of Mexico or Naples Bay, it can be expected that your heating system would rarely have to operate at or below freezing temperatures ; whereas heating systems to the east of US 41 and even further to east of Interstate 75 will have to operate at lower temperatures and for longer durations.\nThe data below was collected from Naples Municipal Airport over the past 15 years. It shows the Average High, Average Medium and Average Low Temperatures for each month of the year. Notice that Naples Municipal Airport recorded an average of .3 freezing days over a 15 year period and only during the month of December. We all know that other areas of Collier County reached freezing temperatures much more frequently than at Naples Airport. It’s located on the Gordon River at the foot of Naples Bay and in close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico keeps it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.\nSW Florida Construction Methods\nWhile the demands of our heating season can be considered mild in comparison with other regions of Florida, the most common methods of construction used locally in the buildings served by our heating systems are not nearly as resistive to heating losses to outdoors though walls, windows, doors and ceilings in most cases. Likewise, residential and commercial systems for use in controlling the comfort of occupants are rightfully designed with cooling and dehumidification capabilities prioritized.\nArchitectural features that are popular include large rooms with high ceilings. The most effective air conditioning system configuration is diffusion of conditioned air into the space from ceiling or side wall locations located toward the center of spaces and directed downward toward the heat sources within the space.\nArchitecture and heating systems designed for use in regions where energy use for comfort is dominated by a cold climate are usually designed with the heat supplied near the floor using forced air systems with floor mounted diffusers or heated slabs and radiant heaters located at or near floor level. Each method addresses the heat rising to the ceiling through convection to favor the most frequent mode of operation.\nMany of SW Florida central air systems are not very efficient when operated in heating mode ; the architectural design of many of the spaces served is in not conducive to efficient heating mode performance.\nMany SW Florida interior spaces are designed in such a manner that the heated air rises up into high ceilings through convection taking the heated air away from occupants at floor level.\nOften cold surfaces such as windows, sliders and tile or marbles floors add to comfort issues for occupants down in the living area while all of the heated air supplied into the room is just overhead in the high ceilings above them.\nThe thermostat is located above floor level near eye level of the users and is also quite a few feet below heated air that accumulates in the upper areas of a high volume ceiling space. The thermostat will continue to demand heating operation until the user set point has been satisfied by the room temperature in the exact location of the thermostat. Room air temperatures in high ceiling area above the thermostat could be as high as 20 degrees greater than the temperature of the indoor air at the thermostat level. When these scenarios combine, it increases the required hours of heating run-time required and the energy demand required.\nEven though annual heating energy costs are far less than what is used for cooling and dehumidification of the conditioned air in summer weather mode, many of our heating systems and building designs run much higher energy cost per hour than would be tolerable in colder climates. Electric resistance heating is the most inefficient method used to provide heating mode comfort to occupants. It is also the most common type of heating system used in residential and commercial SW Florida Buildings. Even though annual utility costs for heating is just a fraction of what is used for cooling, many SW Florida owners of electric heating systems have had very high monthly statements for the months that the electric heating system was used.\nMany of Johnson’s customers have ultra efficient heat pump systems that operate from cooling tower or geothermal water systems operated in their building, these are water source heat pump systems that are excellent for cooling and dehumidification uses and are heat pumps as a standard feature. Many SW Florida multi family condominiums utilize water source heat pumps.\nTypes of SW Florida Heating Systems\nOnly a handful of comfort heating systems in southwest Florida utilize the types fossil fuel combustion furnaces that are so common in northern areas of North America. The vast majority of residential and commercial comfort heating systems in SW Florida are dependent upon electrical utility energy sources ; some are heat pumps while others are less efficient electric resistance heating systems. Both use electrical power to heat indoor air for the comfort of occupants.\nHeating systems require varying levels of maintenance. Electric Resistance heating systems have fewer components and while not requiring the same level of maintenance as heat pump systems, still need attention and regular testing. Electric heat components should be tested regularly during maintenance service of the central air system whether they have been used by occupants or not. Electric heating elements collect combustible dust and debris during operation in cooling mode than accumulates on the electric heating elements, if not regularly energized and tested the combustion becomes more severe when eventually energized. The only way to make sure electric heat will operate when needed is to maintain it even during long durations of not being used.\nHeat pump system require the same maintenance and service requirements as air conditioning systems. Heat pumps utilize the same indoor and outdoor fans, heat exchangers and compressors that are used during cooling mode operation and share a control system that operates the same components, but differently as it switches between heating and cooling modes. Heat Pumps are reverse cycle refrigerant systems that can direct heat flow from outside to inside during heating mode operation and from inside to outside during air conditioning operation.", "domain": "geography"}

The race was very similar to the legendary Mille Miglia and Targa Florio races held in Italy. The grueling automotive spectacle originally occurred as an annual event from 1950 to 1954 beginning in El Paso’s sister city, Juarez, Mexico, just across the international border. The finish line was reached six days and 3,373 kilometers later after driving through dense forests and jungles at the southern-most city of Cuauhtemoc, Chiapas at the border of Mexico and Guatemala. The race was so incredibly challenging, it instantly became synonymous with the title, “The world’s most dangerous race”. This was due to its formidable and unforgiving course plan and because the spectacle was cloaked in tragedy when three drivers and one spectator lost their lives during the inaugural race in 1950.\nWith legendary German race car driver Hans Hermann at the wheel of a stock four-cam, 110 horsepower, 550 Spyder, Porsche won its first off-road rally race in the 1500cc class at the running of the 1954 La Carrera Panamericana. In fact, two factory-stock Porsche 550 Spyders finished in third and fourth places behind two purpose-built 12-cylinder Ferrari’s that same year. This amazing feat prodded the tiny little Porsche race car into the worldwide limelight. Soon thereafter, and with its chest still rightfully bursting with pride, Porsche began naming some of its sports cars after the infamous cross-country race. The success of the Porsche 550 Spyders at the 1954 La Carrera Panamericana directly influenced the success of race driver Humberto Maglioli’s commanding 15-minute overall victory at the 1956 Targa Florio in Italy. It was Porsche’s first overall victory in an international race with the 550 Spyder. Today, you can still purchase a new Porsche 911 Carrera with our Region’s name proudly emblazoned across its engine cover!\nCarrera Region is very proud of our racing heritage and we are extremely grateful to Porsche A.G. for allowing us to keep our PCA Region name. Our region members are quick to confess that of the 145 Regions in Porsche Club of America, we are the only Region to have a Porsche-branded name as our club moniker!\nLying within the expansive area that is PCA’s Zone 9 footprint, the boundaries of Carrera Region span seven counties in far west Texas and it encompasses all seven of New Mexico’s southern-most counties. Our sprawling footprint stretches from the Midland/Odessa area on our eastern border, all the way out west to the Arizona border, and from the US/Mexico border in the south, up to Roadrunner Region’s border, just to our north in Albuquerque, NM.\nOur region membership is currently at around 100 registered members of which about 75 to 80 active members regularly participate in various club events. We are very proud to say that we still have a few charter members, from the original club in 1966, in our ranks!\nCarrera Region is active in community and charity events, many of which receive national visibility. A couple of the more notable charity events we participate in are “The Susan G. Komen Walk For The Cure” and “Walk To End Alzheimer’s”. The club has many members who participate regularly in Sports Car Club of America sanctioned events and we continue to foster a close relationship with the Pan American Region of the SCCA. We offer sanctioned car clubs the opportunity to participate in many Carrera Region social and track events throughout the year.\nCarrera Region has earned many PCA National accolades over the last several years including a 4th place and two 2nd place awards in the rigorous Region t-shirt competition. Finally in 2012, some of the hard work paid off when we won a first-place trophy in the t-shirt design competition at Porsche Parade. In 2013, Carrera Region proudly teamed-up with SVT Mustang Elite, a premier Ford Shelby car club in El Paso, to raise money in support of a local fledgling no-kill animal shelter, here in our hometown. A big-time win for El Paso!\nYears of dedicated spirit and back-breaking determination culminated in a very hard earned National first place trophy in the Level-1 Region Website Competition. The honor was awarded to Carrera Region during Porsche Parade in 2014 at Jay Peak, Vermont. In 2016, Carrera Region earned another National award coming in second place for factored membership growth in a Region over the previous year. That’s a HUGE accomplishment for any Region, but especially for a small region such as our own! Another amazing pinnacle of exceptional dedication occurred during Porsche Parade 2017 at Spokane, Washington when Carrera Region was, once again, awarded the prestigious PCA National first place trophy in the Level-1 Region Website Competition.\nWe are very proud of our accomplishments and our racing heritage. We look forward to taking our Region into the next chapters of its success in the years ahead! We hope you will join us to be a part of the excitement!\nContact Carrera Region, at email@example.com, for more information.", "domain": "geography"}

Especially in the early evening as the last minutes of sunlight hit the water. The Nile is not only Egypt’s primary water source but a pulsing current of the country’s lifeblood.\nDuring my month in Egypt, the Nile River was an obvious central point for much of my travels. Many travellers originating in Cairo, book the expensive overnight sleeper train to Luxor, the gateway to Upper Egypt. However, the night journey misses the magic of the scenic route Nile carves through the country. Passing countless villages, revealing the vibrancy of the Nile delta and the fertile land surrounding. A landscape in sharp contrast to the rest of the country which is predominantly desert.\nAfter departing Cairo at 8am, the rapid emergences of palm tree groves are breathtaking as the colours of the landscape change vastly. Rolling into Luxor a little after sundown is disorientating but waking up at sunrise to a view over the Nile is a worthy and surreal experience. Hot air balloons bob along following the path of the river. Luxor, inarguably home to Egypt’s most prized archaeological masterpieces outside of the Pyramids of Giza. Luxor, which has sadly been visibly tainted by the negatives impacts of tourism, still holds up due to its plethora of monumental ancient sites and enthusiastic yet friendly locals.\nOnce you venture inland away from the river, deep into the Valley of the Kings, the radiant heat is inescapable even under the shade of a rocky cliff face. Back in Luxor, on the Nile’s edge, I met Kika, a friend of a friend for a drink. Kika took me to a restaurant on a boat docked by the water; A common occurrence in Egypt; many cafes, restaurants and bars are on boats along the river’s edge, each competing with their own music, tafara (apple) shisha and a confusing combination of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails and beers.\nTravelling south from Luxor along the Nile’s edge, you reach the warm and golden-hued Aswan. The most prominent settlement in southern Egypt, Aswan is home to a sizeable Nubian community and the river is very much the centrepiece of this city, which for centuries has been a trade gateway to continental Africa. Watching feluccas and other small passenger ferries cruise up and down the river and around Elephantine Island is a dizzying experience and a highlight of Aswan. After a few hours on a felucca one evening, Hamada – my sailor and new friend – offered me tea, dates and a smoke or Bob Marley as its colloquially referred. Compared to its northern counterparts, Aswan has a slower way of life with seemingly endless sunsets and the warmest of golden light that lingers well into the evening.\nAt the opposite end of Egypt’s length of the Nile, is the mouth of the river that pours into the Mediterranean Sea, around the historic Alexandria. Surrounded by the Nile Delta, the country’s most fertile region, the port city’s complex and multicultural history helped create a vibrant city full of architectural gems and diverse neighbourhoods, not to mention a gateway to trade with Europe and vice versa. Tying this all together, is a river synonymous with Egypt’s historical civilisation and its enduring strength throughout the centuries and remains a pivotal part of modern Egypt, particularly with the burgeoning threat of climate change and water scarcity in northeastern Africa.\nPhoto essay commissioned by Gobe", "domain": "geography"}

In the photo above the area starting with the arched, differently colored masonry is last of a series of changes to the top. Drawings of previous versions indicate they were smaller towers carrying the theme of the brickwork below. It is my opinion that, unlike so many of the changes to Moorish architectural gems made after the reconquest, the result of this final version made by Hernán Ruiz in 1568 is an improvement. At the tip is a very large 16th century bronze weather vane, a giraldillo, giving this entire landmark and symbol of the city its name of La Giralda.\nThe shot above is from the Patio de los Naranjos, a paved area with little channels irrigating the orange trees. It was the place worshipers in the mosque would wash before entering. This area was preserved along with what became La Giralda when the cathedral replaced the mosque. It is entirely surrounded by a chapel and building-wall with an arched walkway along the side next to the tower.\nOne might visit the cathedral itself. It is an impressive, interesting and sometimes beautiful building. The great (Capilla Mayor) altar is a mass of wonderfully carved panels done over about a hundred years starting from 1482. The figures in the panels are about half life size and painted to show against the gold covered background. The cathedral is massive, second (some say third) in size to St. Peters in Rome. It also contains some weird things. One is the tomb of Columbus borne by figures representing the kings of the period of exploration. There is serious question of whether the remains inside are actually those of Columbus, but it is a nice touch. After a long rest in the cathedral one might decide to walk the ramps, built so horsemen could ride to the top of La Giralda, to see the bells and for the view. Just be sure to be rested. Somewhere around level 25-30 the constant, turning climb seems somewhat endless.\nOn the way there is a chance to view the stonework closely and also get vistas of the city at different levels. Little exhibits of the history, architecture and artifacts are in chambers of the inside walls. I was personally amused, though I doubt maintenance people share that feeling, at how the pigeons took advantage of deeply carved stonework as little cave dwellings. At either the opening below or above this one a pure white pigeon was so far back into one niche, only slightly larger than the bird, that only a wind driven rain could have touched it.\nThe top is worth the walk and most will probably want to stay for a good long rest. Even kids seemed worn out and possibly a little dizzy from the constant left turns at each ramp segment's end. In this view the Reales Alcázares, the Royal Palaces, and its gardens are immediately below. The palaces were inserted within the earlier Moorish palace. Isabel I sent explorers to the New World from her quarters here, but it is the Moorish portion that is of great fame. The gardens -- well I could have spent a full day in the gardens alone as they are huge, changing and beautifully done.\nOne strange little bit of the cathedral stuck in my mind from a brief visit many years before. I loved the city, remembered bits of the cathedral, had never climbed La Giralda, but one thing kept popping up in memories. I'd visited for a few hours while driving from Madrid to Rota. The cathedral and many other buildings were closed so it was outside views except that we could enter the Patio de los Naranjos. Hanging by chains way up in that covered walkway around the building-wall was a musty old crocodile and an elephant's tusk. What strange artifacts of the age of discovery or empire were these?\nOn my last visit (2000) they were missing. I was told this was only during some restoration work. Above where they had been was gray painted wood covering the stonework. The poor state of some can be seen right above the crocodile's head in the enlarged section above of a photo from 1974. Pieces may have been falling and creating a danger. I certainly hope the restoration included hanging of these artifacts that add that little touch of weird interest to the place. One expects chapels and relics, but a crocodile and very large elephant tusk hanging in chains? It is one of those pleasant curiosities.\nI asked and found a bit of the story, but not much. The crocodile is a wooden model sent by Egypt's ruler as a gift long ago. I did not find the origin of the tusk.\nSevilla is not all old. It is a modern city with much entertainment, assuming one can stay up until things liven up sometime around one to three in the morning, beautiful parks and a playground of a river through the heart. In a walk over the bridge near the cathedral we were passed by kids, possibly twelve or thirteen years old, rushing across. My wife and I had stopped to look at the river and saw these kids joining more of the after school crowd launching kayaks from a boat storage building just below the bridge's other side over in the Triana section. Little squadrons of these kids and a number of older people were forming lines, paddling four abreast, racing and in general having a great time in the city's heart.\nThe AVE (tren de Alta Velocidad Española) connect Sevilla with Madrid. Some stop in Cordoba. The trip to and from Madrid is a scenic and very comfortable 2½ hours. I'd commented in Madrid's beautiful station that if this were Japan these Shinkansen equivalents would stop exactly on a mark telling us our car and seat section. Instead of the brass markers behind which Japanese stand I found larger green painted sections showing car number. Pleased at this efficiency I'd liked in Japan I carefully observed the minute hand on the clocks to see if we moved on the minute. We did. It was almost as smooth as I'd remembered the Shinkansen where on my first trip I thought we were late until raising the shade and seeing the outskirts of Tokyo racing by at over 100 miles per hour. Spain with Japanese precision and efficiency? Yes. And isn't it refreshing? It does not take a dictator to make the trains run on time! The AVE make the trip pleasant and very fast.\nFor some details on the area and cathedral see Atrium's SEVILLA CLÁSICA page.\nSee Catedral de Sevilla: La Giralda for unusual close views of the weather vane that is the origin of this name. The main page of Hispalis Net's Turismo y Cultura has links to much more detail on the cathedral, Reales Alcazares and other sights of the city.\nCopyright © 2001 by Ramon Jackson", "domain": "geography"}

Michelle had been joined by her parents and her sisters and Faraz’s sister who were all bridesmaids, her gorgeously cute little nephew who was a pageboy and various other friends and relatives, not to mention the family dog who was keen to be part of all the activity!\nFaraz had proposed to Michelle in Disneyland, so this was truly a fairytale wedding which had inspired Michelle’s choice of bridal gown and her arrival on a horse drawn carriage – magical! Michelle and Faraz live abroad in the African continent so this influenced many elements of the day, including the bridesmaid’s dresses and details at the wedding breakfast, many of which had been lovingly handmade.\nThen it was over to St Mary’s church in Reculver to photograph the groom and wedding guests before Michelle’s arrival. This ancient flint church is set in beautiful farmland overlooking the north Kent coast – an ideal location for a wedding photographer! There were a few happy tears shed as Michelle made her entrance, after alighting from her horse drawn carriage – I’m not surprised – she looked radiant. I was given plenty of leeway to take photographs throughout the church ceremony, enabling me to take my favourite images of the day – a shot of one of Michelle’s bridesmaids drawing her veil back from her face and a delightful moment of shared laughter between Michelle and Faraz just as the ceremony was beginning.\nAs Faraz’s family are Iranian, the next part of the day, at the Kings Hall Pavillion in Herne Bay, featured Sofreh Aghd – an Iranian wedding ceremony. Michelle and Faraz were seated in a sofa amidst an elaborate set up of decorations, candles and several kinds of food. A fine fabric scarf was held over their heads by the bridesmaids and during the ceremony, two cones made of crystallised sugar were softly ground together over their heads – a symbolic act to sweeten the couple’s life together.\nBefore the speeches, I was able to steal Michelle and Faraz away for some portraits of the new Mr & Mrs by the seashore, just below the Pavillion. We managed to time it perfectly – the sun was sinking over the horizon, casting a pink glow over the scenery before providing us with a magnificent golden ribbon of light across the sea – ideal for a silhouette shot. What an incredible barmy evening – few and far between in the UK!\nAs we were leaving, lights were twinkling across the sea, underneath a blue velvet sky. The perfect end to a perfect day.\nMany congratulations you two. You were an absolute delight and what an incredible achievement to pull together such an amazing celebration from all those miles away! x", "domain": "geography"}

You'll be very impressed by the excellent lift system, which allows you to discover over 270km of groomed runs, many tree-lined, leading to adjacent villages.\nThis resort offers breathtaking views and snow thrills for skiers and snowboarders, as well as over 50 pit-stops in the form of very tempting mountain restaurants! It's little wonder it's known as the 'Ski Circus' to regular visitors.\nThe Chalet-Hotel Christina is actually one of very few chalets in Saalbach. It is modern, well-equipped and very comfortable, as well as being located just 5 minutes' walk from the main lift area and the centre of town, where you have the choice of cosy bars or more active nightlife. Saalbach (and the Chalet-Hotel Christina) has something for everyone!\nBut there's more to Saalbach than just the mountains! Apres-ski is a part of life here and the town is packed with lively bars and intimate restaurants, although come midnight the town can take on a relaxed party mood. A pretty, pedestrianised town centre also has a wide range of shops and boutiques, so bring a credit card in case you want to stock up on the latest snow fashions!\nON THE MOUNTAIN\nExpect to ride large, open, well-groomed pistes for most of the day. There's plenty to excite the advanced rider - Saalbach was a one-time Skiing World Cup venue - but this is a resort more in tune with the intermediate skier or snowboarder, as red and blue runs dominate the piste map. Thankfully, you won't have to do much chopping and changing between chairlifts because Saalbach's pistes are well-linked and the lifts and gondolas are high-tech. Some of them even have heated seats, so you can stay warm on your way up to the mountain's peak.\nWith so much to do on the snow, it's easy to work up a healthy appetite. Thankfully, the area boasts over 50 restaurants and bars, all of them within easy reach of a chairlift. You can pick between live music venues with sweeping, panoramic views of the mountains, or cosy ski huts with a traditionally Austrian menu and a roaring fire. Whatever you fancy, a Ski Miquel guide will happily lead you to the best tables on the mountain.\nThere's plenty of relaxing to do in the Chalet Christina's salubrious lounge area, but if you do fancy an afternoon or early evening drink, Saalbach is renowned for its apres-ski. Check any resort guide and you will see that it is often voted 'Europe's Best Apres-Ski Resort'. The town has several busy bars, and they start early too - from around 3pm, locals sing along to Austrian pop songs and rock hits in the Goat Stall, a buzzing bar at the foot of the mountain and the hottest afternoon hangout in town.\nElsewhere, make the most of the Saalbach Happy Hour, which usually takes place at 3:30pm - Head to Bobby's Pub, which has a buzzy atmosphere and provides pool, darts and bowling. And don't worry if you fancy a quiet night, as Saalbach has its quieter enclaves and boasts around 70 restaurants to choose from, which means you'll have a wide variety of food to choose from on the Wednesday night when our chalet staff have a day off, so you can make an evening of it!", "domain": "geography"}

When I found out about the syrup in the Tropics of Bali, I was compelled to bring it to the UK, and to educate people on the benefits of this natural wonder.\nWhat does it taste like?\nBali Nutra’s Coconut Syrup has a rich and smoky treacle taste often likened to a high quality maple syrup. It is very sweet and should be used sparingly, for those that can resist the allure, once you have started to replace your regular table sugar with Bali Nutra Coconut syrup you would be crazy to go back, after knowing the health benefits.\nWhere does it come from?\nBali Nutra’s Coconut Syrup comes from the sun kissed east coast shores of Bali, Indonesia. We make sure that the sap is only collected from Coconut trees that are not within proximity of 5Km to factories or farms that use fertilisers.\nEast Coast of Bali\nCoconut Sap Heated\nHow is it made?\nCoconut Syrup is made purely from the Coconut Sap of the Coconut tree or scientifically speaking the coconut plant, “Cocos nucifera”. It is harvested on average twice a day by local farmers, on small family owned farms, who climb to the top and collect the sap. The Coconut Sap is funnelled using a coconut leaf into a dried coconut shell. The Coconut Syrup is harvested in the dry season which gives Bali Nutra’s Coconut Syrup a unique taste, there are no added ingredients, so that it retains it natural qualities.\nWhat Are the Health Benefits?\n* 10 Minerals; Rich in Iron, Magnesium and Potassium.\n* 17 different Amino Acids;\n* Low Glycemic Index of 35±\n* Essential Glyconutrients, including Inulin.\n* Certified and registered with Vegan Society.\n* No Preservatives / No Artificial Flavours\n* GMO Free / Gluten Free\n|Typical Values||Per 15g||Per 100g|\n*Certified by ALS Food and Pharmaceutical, UKAS approved.", "domain": "geography"}

They know how to fend for themselves – they grow their own food, sew their own clothes, change their own oil, fill their own potholes, set their own fractures. They’re often free-thinkers, unafraid to hold to notions their neighbors find faulty. Blazing a path isn’t an obstacle; it’s to be expected. Hermiting in Maine is considered an acceptable response to the world.\nAnd yet, Mainers are neighbors. The kind of neighbors that don’t just lend a cup of sugar, they lend their blender and their chicken’s fresh eggs. They help each other without ever asking. They plow yards, cut wood, make meals, fix fences (or rock walls), loan cars. Part of Maine heritage is an unassuming work ethic. No one makes a big deal out of anyone, but everyone makes sure each person is treated with dignity.\nIt’s nothing to drive people to the airport (even though it’s a 2 hour trip one-way). In return, just a fresh cup of joe from Dunkin’ Donuts.\nThis is the way life should be.\nBut this is also vacation land – a place the world flocks during the 6 weeks of the Maine year claimed by summer. Our coast is inhabited by strangers, and rightfully so. The rocky beauty is stunning. The towns feel authentic and quaint. The lobster is the best in the world.\nBut I know oodles of Mainers who rarely, if ever, eat lobster. They’re more likely to be grilling hot dogs or hamburgers. They likely never visit the coast in the summer. If they do, the only thing they’ll report on is the absurd, urbanesque traffic. Trips to Acadia are saved for winter when it’s silence cultivates the serene.\nMainers have thick skin for cold weather, but when it comes to crowds, they’re a little flimsy.\nPeople’s jobs are a patchwork of the state. Lobstering or serving in the summer on the coast. Orchard work or caddy in the fall. Lifty in the winter in the mountains. And God knows, no one is productive during mud season. The truth is, everyone just makes it work.\nThat’s the real motto of Maine – the place to live if you have enough grit to just make it work.\nMaine is truly undefinable. It’s a place to spend days without talking to anyone, but it’s also one of the strongest communities I’ve ever been a part of. If you meet another displaced Mainer, you instantly bond. There’s no doubt, Maine is home for life. It’s a place known for the summer coast, but it’s really a place filled with fields, mountains, lakes and streams and winter for over six months. It’s a picturesque, idyllic place that’s economically difficult to survive in. But lots of us do with some creativity, a lot of thriftiness and a tsunami of stubbornness.\nThis Thanksgiving I’m incredibly thankful for the way this state has shaped me. I think it is easier to live elsewhere, but I think Maine makes it’s inhabitants better.\nThis isn’t just the way life should be; it’s a place to become a little more who you should be.", "domain": "geography"}

However, this figure differs drastically from region to region as London reported a rise by 9.1% whereas prices in the north actually fell by 0.5%.\nClearly, the issue of a housing bubble is unlikely to affect the north, where Help to Buy is most actively used. That said, this is not a case of the north being punished for southern (or rather, London) housing concerns, as the average value of Help to Buy loans is just under £150,000 – over £200,000 less than the proposed new maximum.\nThese equity loans, which are currently open to both first-time buyers and those looking to move, require the buyer to contribute a minimum of 5% of the overall price of the property, with the government providing a loan for up to 20% and a mortgage covering the remaining 75%.\nTheoretically, then, should a maximum loan reduction come in to place, buyers in the north who are interested in using the Help to Buy scheme will be largely unaffected.\nIf you would like to talk to someone about the Help to Buy scheme, speak to your Help to Buy agent, or contact Mike Carter at email@example.com or call 0151 264 7363 for any legal advice.", "domain": "geography"}

COVID restrictions prevented face-to-face meetings from happening and therefore project partners from different countries were only able to meet in online meetings and workshops. Luckily, during the last few months of the project, the CBSmallPorts partners, including SAMK team, could have a few face-to-face workshops and participate in a few events and fairs. At last, the final conference and final partner meeting were held in in Riga, Latvia in August 2022 for the entire project partnership.\nTravel to Riga, 24.08.2022\nThe SAMK team took an approximately one-hour flight from Helsinki to Riga in the afternoon on 24 August. When we arrived at the airport in Riga, we took taxis to our hotel Wellton Riverside Spa Hotel located in the city center. After a short rest we had a walk in the old town of Riga which was very close to the hotel.\nThe old town of Riga had a wonderful atmosphere with historical buildings. Most of us in the team were taking beautiful photos of the streets and buildings even though a few of us had already visited the place some years back. Our walk in the old town, which lasted for a few hours, ended with a great dinner. The it was time to head back to the hotel to rest and to prepare for the conference on the day after.\nCBSmallPorts final conference, 25.08.2022\nThe venue for the final conference room was located on the top (8th) floor of the same hotel we stayed at. After having a good breakfast, we met our partners in the conference room at around 9:30 AM to have a coffee and start the conference at 10 AM.\nIt was very exciting to finally being able to meet the partners from Sweden, Latvia, and Estonia after having mostly online meetings for over two years. That reminded us how important it is to meet the coworkers or partners in person and how the work can proceed when meeting people face-to-face.\nDuring the final conference, the presentations covered topics such as small port development, energy efficiency for boaters and small ports, and development of networks and cooperation. The small ports are part of the tourism industry – they are essential in providing services to boaters and other users. It was mentioned that one euro spent in the small port leads to four euros spent in other services. The CBSmallPorts project results were presented by SAMK’s Minna Keinänen-Toivola. Minna introduced one of the key results of the CBSmallPorts project, an online platform called Baltic Small Ports. In addition, as August 25 happened to be the annual Baltic Sea Day, it was a great opportunity to celebrate the Baltic Sea at the conference, as well.\nThe last partner meeting with a tour in small ports and old Riga, 26.08.2022\nOn Friday morning, SAMK team and project partners gathered in the meeting room for the last partner meeting of the project. It was time to sum up the results and have final discussions. Jussi Sutela from XAMK, one of the project partner organizations, attended the meeting online. At last, we took a group photo and ended the meeting with a wish to work with the same partners in future projects.\nAfter the meeting, we took a bus to visit three small ports in Riga and to have a one-hour guided tour in the old town of Riga. We had the chance to hear the history and stories behind the old buildings. Riga and Latvia in general, have an interesting history and hearing them while visiting the place and taking photos, is a great experience.\nFinally, after a lunch in a restaurant with a beautiful view it was time to head to the airport and return to Finland. Overall, it was an amazing trip with the company of nice people, in a beautiful city with a wonderful atmosphere.\nText: Sina Khabbazi and Minna M.

This is the part that feels a bit like some nice marketing effort, and promoting yet again the free suite that is Ovi Maps. Even with it bundled in the firmware of most phones, people still need to know it’s there and that it is free.\nThough I love the irony that Ovi Maps Challenge isn’t as free as Ovi Maps. When you start the game, you’ll see that the major continents have been padlocked. To unlock these you’ll need to purchase and download additional question packs from the Ovi Store – a nice twist on the free demo and premium content model.\nBefore you have to think about grabbing a pack (and they should address the ever present issue of what to do with a quiz game when you run out of questions) you have what is essentially the “world” question pack to show you what the game is like.\nIt’s not just straight ahead “Question, Answer A, Answer B, Answer C” factual dumps. Although the basic engineering is around that model, the variations on offer keep everything nice and fresh. Going from “which country’s flag is this” to ordering countries by population size, or trying to guess which country is which with just the outline of the border on show is a great way of stopping the rot of boredom arriving in the users mind for as long as possible.\nThe sixteen different styles of questions/challenges have a lot of variance on offer, not just in the question, but how you answer them. There are some where you get the answers in text boxes, some where you have to tap a spot on the map to locate a country, and others where you have to slide answers around to create ranking orders.\nAs you progress through the two available modes (“Quiz” gives you a fixed number of questions, while “Action” gives you a set amount of time to answer as many as you can), you’ll gather up points which contribute to your passport – build up enough of these points and you can collect a “passport” stamp for another country. Again it’s another small thing that keeps you coming back to the game.\nRovio are masters at pitching the difficulty curve and the reward curve across their portfolio to keep people playing a game on their handset. While they might not build up a big buzz online compared to others, once people actually have a look at this, I think they’ll be pleasantly surprised. it’s not an A-List title, but it’s a strong second-string and another smart choice from Nokia to make this available.", "domain": "geography"}

I can't say I was that enthusiastic about the whole affair, that was until dinner was served! That trip completely opened my senses to a whole world of flavours I had never experienced before, mostly due to my Italian uncle Carlo's cooking, who god rest his sole was a fantastic cook and teacher.\nEver since that first trip I was hooked and I've been cooking ever since. I started out working in the local pubs, then out to the chalets of France and Switzerland and restaurants in Canada. I went on to train at Westminster college, while working under the Galvin brothers and then with Theo Randall at the Intercontinental hotel in Hyde Park. Theo is an amazing chef and a brilliant teacher who, unlike many others, has a lot of patience and a lot of knowledge.\nAfter five years in the smoke of London, I decided it was time to broaden the taste buds and set out to travel the world with my newly-wed husband in tow. Starting out in his home of South Africa we journeyed through India, Nepal, Hong Kong, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia and lastly New Zealand, where we liked it so much we stayed and worked for an extra six months.\nInspired to start my business\nWhilst traveling I experienced so many new foods, flavours and cooking techniques I would need to write a novel to tell you about them all! Lets just say it was an enjoyable education. During my time in New Zealand I was fortunate enough to work with two incredible ladies who have a wonderful catering company, B & V gourmet, in the spectacular Marlborough wine region. It was after working here I knew exactly want I wanted to do on my return to the UK. Ever since I have been throwing myself into creating amazing dishes in domestic kitchens, to ensure my clients have an amazing culinary experience.\nIn the Frame catering Ltd. is based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and we now have a team of highly skilled professional chefs ready to show off their skills in your kitchen. Currently we're localised to the area, operating within a 50 mile radius. We plan to expand this and eventually become a nationwide service.\nWe look forward to hearing from you please do contact us !", "domain": "geography"}

In the meantime, verified fan registration for Toronto shows is now open.\nAmerican musician Gracie Abrams, who Swift has called one of her favourite friends while performing together in Ohio, will be joining her on stage in Toronto.\nIn June, Canadian fans were left in the lurch when Swift announced 40 new dates for her Eras Tour, including Mexico, Europe, Asia and Australia – skipping Canada entirely.\nIt seems Swift is eager to smooth over the rough patch with Canadians – the only other cities that got six shows were Los Angeles and Singapore.\nThe original omission pushed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to tweet at Swift with paraphrased lyrics from her own songs, posting, Its me, hi. I know places in Canada would love to have you. So, dont make it another cruel summer. We hope to see you soon.\nTAYLOR SWIFT WILL HAVE ‘ENORMOUS’ IMPACT ON TORONTO\nDestinations Toronto Executive Vice President Andrew Weir said Swift’s shows will have an “enormous” impact on the city’s tourism and hospitality industries when they need it most.\n“Thats a critical time for our industry, just as the time when a lot of business travel starts to subside, leisure travel for the holidays hasnt really picked up yet,” Weir told CP24.\nAs the only city in the country with shows booked, Weir said he expects the geographic radius of Swifties inundating Toronto will be significant, and in turn, reflect a substantial monetary value.\nOn average, Era Tour fans are spending U.S. $1,300 – equivalent to more than $1,700 in Canada – on tickets, merchandise, alcohol, food, parking and hotels, Canadian music correspondent Eric Alper told CP24.\n“You tabulate that, she could be raking in anywhere between $75 million and $100 million just based on these six dates alone,” Alper said.\nHe notes that several days linger between Swift’s Toronto shows, which could leave room for more dates to be announced, or even a quick visit to stages in another major city, like Montreal or Vancouver.\nTHE ERAS TOUR SO FAR\nThe first leg of the Eras Tour launched in March with the final date booked in Brazil at the end of November 2023.After a few months to rest her vocal cords, Swift will be back on stage in Tokyo in February 2024.\nThe three-hour concert takes fans through the eras of the Grammy-winner’s 17-year career, spanning from “Love Story” in her earliest era to her most recent “Anti-Hero.”\nWith the first stretch of the tour nearly in the rear-view, Swift wrote, “really blows my mind that we have one last city on the US leg,” on Instagram this week before heading to Santa Clara.\nMore than halfway through the eight-month stretch, and the hype for her tour has only roared louder, with her Seattle concert generating seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake just last week.\nWhile Canadian Swifties are rejoicing about the new tour dates, securing tickets could be a battle in itself. When tickets for the first leg of her Eras Tour were released, Swift broke Ticketmaster with insufficient supply to meet the extraordinary fan demand.", "domain": "geography"}

If the layout and feel of the slot seems familiar to you, that is because many in the G+ range have the same basic system and are just different covers with different themes.\nZanzibar offers you five reels with 30 paylines, a replicating wild and a free spins bonus. This is a medium to high variance slot, which means that you stand a big chance of hitting the free spins round, but a smaller chance of hitting the jackpot. Zanzibar can be played for both real and free money, and with its pretty low minimum wager it caters for all budgets.\nFirstly you may be asking what on earth is Zanzibar? Zanzibar is an island off the coast of East Africa. Its population is mostly Arabic, and its one and only city holds the record of being the first city on earth to have electric streetlights.\nZanzibar the slot has a rather pretty Arabic theme, with a nod to the actual island by way of a sunset with palm trees in the background of the reels. The rest of the theme doesn’t have a whole lot to do with the tropical island, and more just the Arabic part of it.\nThe reels themselves are a sandy brown, with the symbol’s graphics being more simplified than arty. The buttons at the bottom are the familiar blue and gold from WMS, and are neatly laid out with nothing confusing going on. This is a simple slot, easy to understand with no added frills more like slots in Canada.\nThe reels are packed with suitably Arabic symbols, most of which actually wouldn’t be found anywhere near the island of Zanzibar, but that is beside the point. You can find Arabian horses, a female burkha clad Arabic warrior, Arabic jewellery, scimitars, and Arabic ornaments. The base symbols are the suites from a deck of cards, namely Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades all done to look like colourful jewels. A Free Spins Bonus symbol can also be found, as can a Sunset Palms replicating wild.\nZanzibar Special Features\nThere are only really two special features in the game; the fist is the replicating wild in the form of a sunset and a palm tree. This symbol appears on reel three, it can replicate across all the reels as a wild, taking the place of all other symbols except the bonus symbol. This feature is available on both the base game and in the free spins bonus round, which can lead to some very interesting winnings.\nFree spins bonus symbol is found through out the reels, and three or more of these will launch the free spins bonus round. This bonus round is Zanzibar’s main feature and can be launched quite often. The more bonus symbols that you find, the more free spins you will be awarded.\nThe most a player can find is five bonus symbols, which will result in a pretty neat forty free spins. Remember that during this round you can find replicating wilds as well, which all add up. Every win during the free spins round comes with a two times multiplier as well.", "domain": "geography"}

It's also referred to as \"midsummer\" even though it is the first day of summer and the end of spring. But living in the middle of a cold prairie province means that, for me, I just planted my garden, the cottage was just opened a few weeks ago, and my white skin is just starting to get a glow. It hardly feels like \"midsummer\" everywhere in the northern hemisphere, even though some places have been enjoying blistering heat for months already! The solstice is also an indicator that the hottest months are ahead. So why not reign in this natural occurrence with a little celebration, the way previous traditions did?\nSince the days following the summer solstice begin to shorten, the solstice was traditionally a time to celebrate the sun. The word solstice loosely translates to “sun stand still,” and its influence has always been extremely important to agricultural societies. This day was a special time to gather and celebrate, and honour the sun shining in the sky, allowing food and crops to grow and offer us sustenance. Singing and dancing around a bonfire was the most common tradition associated with the solstice in earlier times. Many countries still honour the custom.\nI get together with a few friends every solstice and equinox. It’s been a really interesting way to stay in touch with the natural occurrences of our planet, and I'm always surprised how changes of season often bring a lot of internal shifts as well. On the winter solstice, we ate comfort foods and shared things that we needed to let go of. In spring, we did a plant swap and talked about budding ideas for the new year. Now, the summer solstice is almost here. So, a fire and possibly an in-season flower swap is on the agenda.\nIf you’re hoping to find a way to celebrate the summer solstice, here are some old and new ways to do it:\n1. Have a bonfire\nHilltop bonfires seemed to be one of the most popular ways for ancient Celts to celebrate and it’s still a very common tradition all around the world. In some European countries, it’s an extremely significant outdoor celebration; dancing, singing, and huge bonfires being the central excitement of the event.\nSolstice idea: Gather your closest friends, set out a moody midsummer playlist, and keep a bonfire going until the sun dips below the horizon. Nosh on some in-season ingredients, and request themed attire!\n2. Get yourself some flowers\nCelebrating summer is a perfect excuse to buy yourself some flowers and have the smell of fresh blooms in your home. Who doesn't enjoy a fresh little bouq on her dining table? If you've got blooms in your yard, try snipping a few to build your own arrangement.\nSolstice idea: Hunt down some ribbon, floral wire and floral tape, and snip or purchase some of your favourite in-season blooms to make your own flower crown, corsage or necklace. Maybe you can wear it to your themed bonfire celebration!\n3. Light a candle\nSummer solstice celebrations don't need to be loud, and they don't need to be bustling with tons of bodies. If you’re not feeling like a wild outdoor party, opt for something more low-key and celebrate the fire of the sun by lighting some candles around your house.\nSolstice idea: Light some candles and have a seat to think about some things you’re grateful for or things you’re hoping for the rest of the year. Hold a piece of sunstone, and throw on “Here Comes The Sun” for an especially on point solitary solstice night.\n4. Two words: Sun. Piñata.\nIf you're celebrating with little ones (or if you're a kid at heart), DIY a sun piñata to create a memorable summer celebration that your littles look back on fondly, or even look forward to each year.\nSolstice idea: Fill a piñata with yellow ribbons, gold coins (of the chocolate variety, perhaps?), and yellow flowers and break it with your kids, or your best friends. Cause, who can turn down sunshine-themed games that remind you of childhood birthday parties? Bonus points if you use foraged sticks from the yard to bang on the piñata.\nMidsummer means blooming gardens! Spend some time walking around and foraging whatever you can get your hands on (and isn’t on your neighbour’s lawn). Make a bouquet, hang them to dry, or cleanse your home with the smell of summer by burning the fragrant pickings.\nSolstice idea: Gather some friends and spend the solstice evening wildcrafting and foraging together. You can also pick things from your own garden, and exchange your harvest with friends. Someone always has an abundance of tomatoes!\n6. Get outside\nOkay, but seriously: get outside on the longest day of the year! Go on a walk at lunch, spend the evening at a park, sit in your backyard. Whatever works for you! Soak up some sun. And hey, maybe you’ll get a festive tan/sunburn to boot.\nSolstice idea: Dinner can be really special on the solstice. Set out some evening lights, make a light, in-season meal with crisp salads and fresh juices, and dine slowly beneath the setting sun. You can go formal and invite guests over to chill on the deck, or you can have a romantic evening picnic for two.", "domain": "geography"}

The meeting is organized by the International Society for Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions (ISMNI). The workshop will offer participants a chance to present their latest results in the area of neuromuscular degeneration and osteoporosis in relation to ageing. The format of the meeting will be such, that maximal time will be allotted for discussions. State of the art lectures will review key topics and new developments that have relevance both directly and indirectly to the main theme of the meeting. The program will appeal to medical doctors, biologists, physiotherapists, physicists, biochemists, veterinarians and dentists.\n- the host Island\nEver since Odysseus washed ashore after being shipwrecked on his way home to Ithaca, the island of Corfu has been praised for its lush beauty. Corfu's mild climate and abundant rainfall make it one of the greenest islands in Greece. It's said that Shakespeare envisioned Corfu when he described Prospero's island in The Tempest. In later centuries, Goethe, Oscar Wilde and the Durrell brothers amongst others extolled its virtues. Historically a favorite haunt of European royalty and aristocrats, the island has an eclectic international flair, especially its capital (also named Corfu). The Liston, built during the French occupation, was modeled on rue de Rivoli. The old town's 18th century shuttered alleyways in mellow pastels make it more reminiscent of Venice than Greece. The birthplace of composers, politicians and poets, Corfu today is an intellectual and cultural capital of sorts. It's home to no less than seven schools of music and numerous museums, Byzantine churches and archaeological sites\nI Dontas, JL Ferretti, HM Frost, JA Gasser, WSS Jee, GP Lyritis, S Miller, Lis Mosekilde, T Nakamura, M Runge, E Schoenau, T Skerry, D Thompson\nGr Skarantavos (Chair), G Kapetanos, E Kataxaki, I Kouris, I Koulouris, P Boskainos, G Trovas, S Vlahos\nYoung Investigators Awards\nFive young investigators awards, consisting of 500 Euros each, will be offered for the best poster displays and oral presentations.\nAll first authors under the age of 35 are eligible for the prize.", "domain": "geography"}

While a 10 night sojourn in Thailand may not quite match the cheaper deals of Egypt and Tunisia, it will come very close, the main difference being the flight cost, not the accommodation, which is a lot more consistent in quality compared with many parts of Asia, particularly Malaysia and Thailand.\nThe rise in boutique properties in Thailand is a stark contract to the huge all inclusive resorts of Egypt and to a lesser extent, Tunisia.

You may like the eTrex GPS devices just the way they are, but don’t refuse to upgrade before you find out what’s new. Well for starters they gave it a new user interface. A great new feature allows you to select profiles based on the activity you are participating in. It will adjust the menu options to put the function you use the most at your fingertips.\nNext they included a worldwide basemap. The eTrex 10 doesn’t come with mapping features but the basemap is a little nicer to look at than just coordinates and dots. Just don’t expect scale topo maps or turn by turn from the basemap.\nYou’ll be up and running with your new eTrex 10 in just a few minutes. Open up the back with a turn of the lanyard clip and pop 2 AA batteries in it. With your batteries installed push the power button and sit back and watch. It will immediately begin locating satellites. This happens very quickly and you should be ready to go in under a minute. It will automatically set the date and time based on your location. It takes longer to locate you the first time. After that it will be much quicker. Garmin gave it their Hot Fix satellite prediction software. It is a satellite prediction utility so it knows where to look for satellites. In addition the eTrex line are the first consumer GPS receivers that are comaptible with the Russian GLONASS navigation network. GLONASS is reported to be 20% faster than GPS. Not to mention it allows the eTrex 10 to connect to many more satellites which gives it better signal streng\nA very important feature that makes the eTrex 10 such a great GPS unit is WAAS. The FAA developed WAAS to improve the accuracy of GPS navigation. Basically, WAAS receives signals from the GPS satellites, does some calculations, makes corrections, and sends the corrected signal back. This improves the accuracy from about 50 feet of your actual location to within 10 feet or better. Regardless of what GPS unit you decide to go with I recommend you get one with WAAS.\nNot to be overlooked is the paperless Geocaching features. Just plug your eTrex 10 into your computer and download all of the geocache files for your next outing. No more paper maps. No need for anything other than your handheld GPS for geocaching now. It’s more convenient and you’ll save some trees in the process.\nWaterproof is a necessity of handheld GPS devices. You’ll get an IPX7 rating which means you can drop it in a river and it will keep on ticking. It will save your tracks, store up to 1,000 waypoints, and tell you when the sun is going to rise and set. I think you’ll find all eTrex 10 reviews coming to the conclusion that this is a great entry level GPS. The price is right around $100 and it’s made to handle anything you can throw at it.", "domain": "geography"}

In addition to this, tuffaceous units known to host gold and base metal showings also occur on the Property.\nAn exploration campaign done in 2017 resulted in anomalous assay values in soil as high as 29ppb Au, 112ppm Cu, 600ppb Ag and 155ppm Zn. In particular, a broad zinc anomaly is located in the western area of the claims. Outcrop sampling allowed the identification of an anomalous area about 500m long on the west side of the Property, where values of silver up to 3.3g/t and 519ppm copper have been returned from mafic to ultramafic rocks (pyroxenites and gabbro). Very shallow drill holes (<3m) made on this zone returned similar anomalous values of up to 0.2g/t A, 498ppm Cu and 123ppm Zn. Finally, the same survey defined multiple beep-mat anomalies on the west portion of the Property.

The Beep Mat and soil sampling programs performed in 2017 identified several anomalies that would merit further investigation in order to assess their potential. A first phase of work should consist of a follow up Induced Polarization survey in the areas of soil anomalies associated with the 16 Lamarck Fault.

Many experts project an activity level of average to above average this season.\nThis is troubling news for those that live on the East coast & Gulf coast of the United States. Not too long ago, there were evacuations in parts of Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. Thousands of people lost their homes, personal belongings, sense of community…and some even lost their lives.\nThe recovery is still ongoing in some parts of the Atlantic. Islands in the Caribbean, in particular, Puerto Rico, face challenges from last year. There are still thousands without power as we head into the heart of Hurricane season. The city of Houston is still reeling from the record flooding brought by tropical storms.\nThese are all stark reminders of the importance of having a hurricane plan in place. You might think that you don’t need one; after all, you can see hurricanes coming weeks in advance, right?\nNever Underestimate Unpredictability\nAsk someone from New Orleans or Florida about the unpredictability of hurricanes. Katrina wasn’t supposed to hit New Orleans…by the time forecasters recognized the change in direction, it was too late for thousands of people.\nLast year, projections showed Hurricane Irma to grazing the east coast of Florida. Within 24 hours, it had reached the Florida keys and was on its way to Tampa Bay. It wasn’t until right before landfall that Floridians realized the storm was going to cut through the middle of the state.\nThere’s a difference between “seeing them coming” and knowing where they are going to end up. Being unprepared is a dangerous game to play.\nThe 4 Approaches To Risk Management\nThere are four ways someone can look at risk management:\nIgnore the risk. Live and let live. Whatever happens, happens. This is, for obvious reasons, the worst way to view risk management.\nReduce the risk. Develop a plan in case disaster strikes and test it.\nEliminate the risk. Don’t live in an area where there are hurricanes. This might seem like the best option, but risk is everwhere, whether it’s from hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, or even volcanoes.\nTransfer the Risk. Purchase a hurricane insurance plan and have an emergency plan in place. This protects you from immediate risks, such as having to evacuate, and long-term risk if a hurricane destroys your home.\nIt’s easy to see that option four is your best bet. Let’s look at how to transfer the risks you face while living in a hurricane-prone area.\nMake An Emergency Hurricane Plan Now\nIt’s never too late to make an emergency plan. There are a few simple steps you can take now to ensure you’re prepared for the next major hurricane.\nFirst, raise some liquidity including cash. If a hurricane hits your town, you’ll need access to cash now. What happens if you have to evacuate last minute but aren’t able to because you don’t have the money to get your family somewhere safe? Don’t assume you’ll be able to run to the bank; they’ll evacuate as well.\nTry to save enough money for two to three months of living expenses. You want to make sure you can pay your bills if you aren’t able to work after a significant storm. This is the cornerstone of any financial plan.\nSecond, plan. Stock up on some extra fuel, especially if you live along the coast or in Florida. The day before Irma came through Florida; there were thousands of cars clogging the main highway and gas stations began running out of fuel. Keep some non-perishable food on hand in case stores close down.\nKnow where you’re going and plan an evacuation route ahead of time. You don’t want to spend valuable time calling relatives to make sure you can stay with them. When hurricane Irma switched course and started going towards the western part of Florida, there was a small window of time that you could leave your home, avoid the traffic jams, and find gas relatively easy.\nThat window of time was one hour. If you left after that, it doubled or tripled your travel time…if you didn’t run out of gas. Don’t take minutes for granted.\nBuy some boards to keep handy in case you need to secure your home for an evacuation. Hurricane shutters are more expensive but more effective as well. Put important documents in an evacuation box. Don’t leave your house without your social security card and birth certificate.\nDon’t assume that utilities will work, either. You’ll need water and a backup generator. The generator is of particular importance if you or a loved one relies on electricity for health reasons. Emergency services will do their best to help, but after a disaster might not be able to reach you. Have a battery-powered radio for updates as well as enough batteries to last for two weeks.\nIn the last section, we discussed having liquidity. This topic, and financial matters, in general, deserve extra attention. It’s often difficult to get people to take this aspect of planning seriously. As a financial Planning firm that serves the Emerald coast I’ve seen the good and the bad when it comes to hurricane season.\nImagine that you find out a hurricane is coming. You watch the news, and the governor tells citizens to stay inside and off the highway because it’s too late to flee. You might think this wouldn’t happen, but it did with Irma due to the late change in course. It also happened in SC a few years ago, only the warning came too late, and there were people on I-26 in traffic as the hurricane hit the state.\nYou hunker down when the storm hits, and luckily your house is intact, and everyone is safe. You feel good because you’ve got plenty in your bank account. What could go wrong? Why was everyone telling you that you need an elaborate plan in case a disaster strikes?\nYou realize your power is out, and your neighbor tells you that the radio stated it could be anywhere from three days to a week for it to come back on. Your water isn’t working, or worse, the storm contaminated it. He forgot to mention that the water is undrinkable…that radio would have come in handy.\nYou go to the store to get some medicine, but it’s closed. You find a few gas stations that are open, but with the power out, the credit card machines are down. They are unsure when they’ll be back up, leaving you sick with no medicine, no money, and no gas to get somewhere that can help you.\nYour cell phone works, but you aren’t able to reach the emergency responders. Apparently, there were a lot of people like you that assumed this situation only happened on the news. You get lucky when your neighbor has medicine and some extra food because he planned ahead.\nThere are two ways to avoid this situation: a hurricane plan and liquidity. Cash solves most problems after a hurricane. Never assume that the money in your bank is worth anything after an emergency. Your stocks aren’t going to help you either. You can’t liquidate them after the fact, and in the immediate aftermath of almost every disaster, stock prices go down, meaning you’ll have less money than you think for a short time.\nThere are some wealthy people every year that end up relying on the kindness of strangers. Money without a plan is worthless, and a plan without money is ineffective. You need a balance of both to stay ahead of the game.\nHomeowners that live in hurricane-prone areas know how much damage a storm can do to their property. The problem is that typical homeowners insurance doesn’t cover all the possible damage a hurricane causes.\nAfter developing a hurricane plan to protect your life, your next step is to develop a plan that will keep your property safe.\nFirst, go over your current insurance and see what type of coverage you have. Most plans cover wind damage but not flooding. Some insurance policies don’t cover wind damage though. Along the coast in areas that see high hurricane activity, many insurance companies shy away from this coverage. Flood insurance is a separate policy that you’ll need to purchase, as a majority of damage comes from the massive rain hurricanes bring.\nThere are some essential technicalities to remember when going over your insurance plans. For example, if the wind from a hurricane takes out part of your wall and that leads to flooding, most policies will cover the damage. Regular flooding due to a rise in water levels is not insured. Contact your insurance company for clarification if need be.\nDeductibles are another area to examine. After the massive financial losses insurance companies have had to absorb because of recent hurricane value, many companies now require a separate wind damage deductible instead of a fixed one. It’s normal for this deductible to run between 1-5% of your home’s value.\nHurricanes aren’t the most pleasant thing to discuss, but it’s essential to have this information up front. You can’t control the storm itself, but you can control your reaction to it. Remember the ideal form of risk management? Transfer the risk by preparing ahead and having the right insurance to meet your needs.\nIf you need help developing a hurricane plan and finding the best insurance for your situation, contact us today. We’ll help you discover ways to plan ahead for emergencies and give you the peace of mind you need to enjoy coastal living. Don’t put your life or financial health in jeopardy when help is just a phone call away.", "domain": "geography"}

They have both worked really hard, keep it up and well done!\nWell done to Rose and Libby-Hope for showing their superpower of resilience.\nThis half term year 3 are asked to complete weekly homework tasks based on the rainforest. Children will also continue receiving weekly maths homework which links to the in class learning topic as well as weekly spellings to learn which are tested on a Monday.\nShay, Dexter and Isla from 3A have brought in some amazing homework about rainforest animals! It's great to see the children learning more about their topics at home!\nThis half term the children are developing their understanding and application of their 3,4 and 8 times tables. They will learn about fact families as well as moving on to learning about totalling amounts of money, giving change and converting between pounds and pence.\nYear 3 really enjoyed their Mindfulness session with Mrs Plant and Mrs Wedge. The children learnt different ways to help them stay calm and relax.\nDuring the Spring term, Year 3's new topic is Rainforests! We will be learning about all things to do with the rainforest in English, Guided Reading, History and Geography!\nIn English we will be working on the book 'Into the Jungle' by Katherine Rundell. It's a modern take on Rudyard Kipling's original The Jungle Book which focuses on some of his popular characters including Mowgli, Shere Khan and Baloo..\nOn a Friday when we usually do our Big Write in English, the children have started to peer assess each other's work. This is when they swap books with a partner so they can read someone else work and give them 2 stars which are compliments, and a wish which is something their partner could improve next time. They re all enjoying this so far and are feeling like 'mini teachers'!\nThe children have thoroughly writing their own weather report scripts this week and had the opportunity to become weather and news reporters! They were imagining to be reporting live from the Amazon Rainforest in stormy, humid and sticky conditions!\nWe thoroughly enjoyed creating our own rhyming rainforest poems in English. We then performed our poems to the rest of the class trying to keep to the rhythm we had created within our poems!\nWe are hugely encouraging all of our children to have a love of and for reading! In class we have a Super Readers challenge where each week the children must prove they've read at home out loud to an adult and then bring their book in to swap when they've finished. The aim is to reach the super city by the end of the half term. Those children that do reach the city will receive a reward!\nJacob and Dexter really enjoyed the reading suitcase this week. They both enjoyed the time to read to an adult with a hot chocolate and a cosy teddy.\nIn Geography year 3 have been learning all about the pros and cons of deforestation. The children then had a class debate as teams of 'islanders' or 'developers', on whether or not an untouched island in Australia near Daintree Rainforest should be turned into a holiday complex or not after reading the book 'Where the forest meets the sea' by Jeannie Baker. They argued their persuasive points to each other respectfully and with passion!\nWhy does the world need rainforests?\nDuring the spring term the topic for year 3 is rainforests. We will be looking to answer our big question 'Why does the world need rainforests?' by learning about their climate, deforestation, the people that live there and more!\nThis half term, children in year 3 will be learning all about plants, the nutrition they need to grow healthily and will be thinking scientifically by carrying out a variety of investigations to do with plants.\nIn Science we have been dissecting flowers to try and identify each real part that we have been learning about. We worked in groups and presented what we had found to the rest of the class. Some of us even thought we had found the seed from inside the flower!\nIn French this half term the children in Y3 are learning numbers up to ten. They enjoyed playing a matching game to help them recognise the number words.", "domain": "geography"}

However, more than a tourist attraction, this city is eventually becoming one of the most vulnerable cities to drug abuse and drug supply. This has increased the need of better facilities in the drug rehab centers in Wisconsin.\n‘American Dairy land’, or the‘City of Lakes’, is an American city named Wisconsin that gains a lot of attention due to the beautiful lakes it offer. However, the city has been under the un-wanted attention of NIDA for the past few years, due to the increased cases of drug abuse in the city. NIDA is the national institute on drug abuse that is registered under the national health department of the country. The various surveys done by the institute keeps and tracks the increased or decreased ratio of drug addiction amongst people in various cities and states all across U.S.A. The stats that NIDA has provided for the past some years have shown a tremendous increase in the number of drug addicts in the city. The exact number and increased percentage is accessed from various hospitals and the drug rehab centers Wisconsin comprises of.\nThis increasing percentage is alarmingly increasing the need of the drug rehab centers in Wisconsin offers, as well as the need of the better facilities that can entertain any emergency case 24 X 7. The different types of drug rehabilitation centers present in the city can be categorized mainly into two i.e., the rehabilitation centers for youth and the conventional rehabilitation centers. The difference in the approach towards the treatment of the patient is the basis of the difference between the two types of rehabs that the city offers. While the former deals with the patients that are in their adolescent age, the latter offers an aid to everyone, irrespective of the age or gender.\nUsually the rehabilitation centers that are meant for youth specifically are preferred over the conventional ones; when it comes to the treatment of the teenagers. This is basically, because apart from medical aid, these drug rehab centers Wisconsin offer additional counseling sessions, various therapies and re-creational activities to the youth as well. This is important (apart from the normal medical aid) in order to re-frame the thinking of the youngsters and chancing their perception about the society and drugs largely.\nHowever, the medical amenities offered in both the types of rehab centers are almost the same, depending upon the substance abused largely. According to NIDA marijuana is the mostly abused drug in this city. This clearly indicates the increased supply of the same in the local markets. However, the latest innovation and creation by neurosciences have resulted in the invention of the modern drug treatment option. This treatment option offers treatment to all the addicts, irrespective of the substance being abused. This is basically a de-toxification method that gradually reduces the craving of the drug in the patient. This is one of the safest methods developed by far and almost all the drug rehab centers in Wisconsin offer the aid of this method to the addicts.\nIt is easy to find out the location of the suitable drug rehab centers in Wisconsin offers. The various City Hospitals on one hand can become a guide, directing you to the drug rehabilitation center that you need and on the other hand, a single click over the internet will expose you to a long list of the type of rehabilitation center you are looking for. To conclude, both the methods are equally safer; however, internet is quicker amongst the two.", "domain": "geography"}

The gross state domestic product (GSDP) is the sum of all value added in each state or union territory and serves as an alternative to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). We will also explain in brief how these states are getting rich year after year.\nWithout further ado, let’s get started.\nList of Top 10 richest states in India\n|Rank||State||GDP in lakh crore|\n|1||Maharashtra||32.34 lakh crore|\n|2||Tamil Nadu||22.44 lakh crore|\n|3||Uttar Pradesh||17.05 lakh crore|\n|4||Gujarat||16.48 lakh crore|\n|5||Karnataka||16.29 lakh crore|\n|6||West Bengal||13.54 lakh crore|\n|7||Rajasthan||10.21 lakh crore|\n|8||Andhra Pradesh||10.19 lakh crore|\n|9||Kerala||9.78 lakh crore|\n|10||Telangana||9.78 lakh crore|\n1) Maharashtra : GSDP of ₹32.24 Lakh Crore\nWith a GSDP of 32.24 lakh crore, Maharashtra is the richest state in India. The state is located in the western part of the country and is the second most populous and third largest in terms of area in India. The capital of Maharashtra is Mumbai, which is also known as the financial capital of India.\nMaharashtra’s economy is primarily driven by its population, natural resources, and industrial base. The state’s population is large enough to support a strong industrial base, and its natural resources—such as coal, iron ore, and bauxite—provide the foundation for a number of industries.\nMaharashtra is also known for its large agricultural sector which is responsible for almost one-third of the total production. The manufacturing and service sectors occupy the remainder of the economy.\nTourism is also a significant contributor to the state’s economy. Additionally, Maharashtra has an extensive and well-developed infrastructure, including airports, ports, and highways. As a result of all of these factors, Maharashtra is a very attractive place to do business.\n2) Tamil Nadu: GSDP of 22.44 Lakh Crore\nTamil Nadu is the second richest state in India and is a major contributor to the Indian economy. The state’s major industries include textiles, agriculture, and information technology. Tamil Nadu also has a strong manufacturing sector, which includes automobile manufacturers and electronic equipment makers. The state’s main exports are agricultural products, textiles, and chemicals.\nTamil Nadu also has a strong financial sector, with several multinational corporations headquartered in the state. On top of that, Tamil Nadu has a well-developed infrastructure, with ports, airports and highways making it an important regional trade hub.\n3) Uttar Pradesh: GSDP of 17.05 Lakh Crore\nWith the largest population in India, Uttar Pradesh ranks third among the richest states in India. According to the state budget for 2021-22, the gross state domestic product of Uttar Pradesh amounts to 17.05 lakh crores.\nThe Uttar Pradesh economy is seeing a boom as a result of its many important factors, chief among which is its increasing importance as an IT hub. Noida and Ghaziabad are both in Uttar Pradesh. As an increasing number of businesses move to these cities to take advantage of their strong infrastructure and availability of skilled workforce, Uttar Pradesh is quickly becoming an important center for information technology (IT) activity.\nWhile the state’s agriculture and food industries are doing very well, the handicrafts, livestock, and weaving industries are also on the rise. Uttar Pradesh is also experiencing a boom in tourism, and the government of Uttar Pradesh is focusing on the development of infrastructure to support this growth.\n4) Gujarat: GSDP of Rs. 16.48 Lakh Crore\nWith a GDP of 16.48 lakh crore, Gujarat is India’s fourth-richest state. It is also known as the country’s petroleum capital and is situated on India’s western coast. The Gujarat economy is one of the most diversified in India with major sectors including agriculture, pharma, petrochemicals, ceramics, textiles, automobile, and diamonds.\nIt has also been ranked as the world’s largest producer of processed diamonds as well as the third largest producer of denims. The state’s workforce is also well-educated and skilled, making it an attractive investment destination. Additionally, the state has a well-developed infrastructure, making it an ideal place to do business.\n5) Karnataka: GSDP of 16.29 Lakh Crore\nThe state of Karnataka is the fifth richest in India.

In the past twelve months, we’ve seen throughput volumes increase 72%, from approximately 870,000 Mcf/d to a level above 1.5 Bcf/d. This demonstrates the commitment of our producer customers to drill in the Eureka Midstream footprint, which encompasses core areas of the Marcellus and Utica in Ohio and West Virginia. The Eureka Midstream footprint consists of some of the lowest cost natural gas and natural gas NGL production economics in the world.\nEureka Midstream also announced two new interconnects that tie into the high-demand Rover and Leach XPress interstate transmission pipelines located in Monroe County, Ohio. These two new interconnects add 700,000 Mcf/d of additional delivery point capacity into the key takeaway markets for Eureka Midstream customers.”\nDeliveries of natural gas into TransCanada’s Leach XPress pipeline through a new delivery point interconnect started in January 2018. The Leach XPress pipeline transports gas to distribution markets serving consumers in the U.S. Midwest and in the Gulf Coast, creating the potential for better netback pricing for our customers.\nEureka Midstream also commenced deliveries of natural gas into Energy Transfer’s Rover pipeline. Rover carries natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica to markets across the United States, as well as Canada. The Eureka Midstream delivery interconnect design capacity into Rover is 350,000 MMBTU/d.\nIn addition, Eureka Midstream constructed and placed in service a 1 Bcf/d receipt interconnect and connector pipeline with Ohio River System (ORS), providing takeaway for natural gas from the ORS facilities via the Eureka Midstream system.\nAkers continued, “In total, Eureka Midstream now has 15 receipt and delivery interconnects designed to provide our customers with increased pricing power and downstream optionality. Eureka Midstream can deliver natural gas to all major markets nationwide. Completion of these interconnects was a key business strategy of connecting the supply of the Appalachian Basin with the markets our customers demand. As always, one of our core values is relentless focus on providing the highest quality service to our customers, and we believe that providing them the highest degree of market optionality provides them with a competitive advantage.”\nEureka Midstream will be attending the SHALE INSIGHT™ 2018 conference in Pittsburgh on October 23-25th.

This city of hot humid climate and heavy rains during the summer, finds its name in the Nahuatl Xallapan and means \"Sand Spring\".\nThe city is known for being a promoter of culture and this is largely due to the presence of the Universidad Veracruzana, so it is common to see the squares and streets flooded with student life that give a fresh air and fill the center with energy. .\nThe city is surrounded by rivers, springs and streams, a natural lake and some artificial ones, as well as a green area reserved for recreation, known as Cerro Macuiltépetl, where oak, eucalyptus, jacaranda and even avocado trees abound.\nSo feeling surrounded by nature and having beautiful landscapes will be a constant during your tour of Xalapa, without a doubt, it is an excellent reason to do so.\nIn all these spaces is the second largest collection in the world of art prehispanic Mesoamerica around 2,500 pieces, fundamentally from the cultures Olmec , totonac Y Huasteca , among other peoples of the Gulf of Mexico , as well as an extensive exhibition on the ethnography of the current indigenous peoples of the State of Veracruz .\nThe emblematic Xalapeño Stadium was built by Engineer Modesto Rolland, a revolutionary thinker of his time who erected the “Heriberto Jara Corona” Xalapeño Stadium in 1925, with a low budget from the State Government. Its construction was carried out in record time: 2 months and 16 days, and 94 years later its structure is still intact; time does not pass by this state banner that has witnessed innumerable sporting, political and social events of Veracruzana Athens.\nIt was built in a natural swamp where some sporting events and concentrations that the Xalapa society had in the 1920s were already held; its innovative architecture surprised Latin America, but above all the way it was built with a cantilevered roof of more than 3 thousand square meters.\nThe Metropolitan Cathedral of Xalapa, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, is the seat of the Archdiocese of Xalapa, and one of the oldest buildings in the city, it is located on the corner of Enríquez and Revolución streets in the historic center of Xalapa . It has undergone numerous modifications, resulting in the current appearance of the building.\nThe parish church of the city, also known as the Metropolitan Cathedral of Xalapa, which was consecrated to the Immaculate Conception, religious patron of Xalapa, began to be built in 1641, in wood, but it collapsed.\nThe current cathedral was built around the year 1641, resulting in a temple of simple proportions; Modifications were made to the building until the 18th century, which gave it its first baroque appearance. You can still see some details in some parts of the building, such as the bell tower (the only one that this temple has had) or the dome. one of the chapels has Solomonic style columns.\nWalk of the Lakes\nThis set of three lakes is surrounded by gardens and walking paths in a wooded area. It is located in the Dique neighborhood, just 10 minutes from downtown Xalapa. It was formerly a dam that belonged to a textile company.\nThe place is frequented by families, groups of friends and people who come as a couple or alone to exercise. But you will also see other travelers who take the opportunity to explore it and spend an afternoon at ease.\nDuring the week you will see a calmer atmosphere, since most of the visitors are runners or young people who take the opportunity to walk while they enjoy an ice cream, buy a snack or sit on their benches to talk about their day to day.\nWeekends are when families decide to visit, so you'll see bikes, workshops and shows designed for children.\nBut if you come with teenagers, don't worry, there are also other options like ziplining and boat rentals, so there's no way someone won't have fun.\nFormer Hacienda of Santa Anna\nFounded by Juan Lencero, a soldier of Hernán Cortés, to serve as an inn on the way from Veracruz to Mexico City, it is a magnificent hacienda now a museum, a true romantic evocation that summarizes almost five centuries of history of Xalapa and Mexico. In 1842 it was acquired by General Antonio López de Santa Ana, and in 1875 it was one of the most important sugar estates in the region. The construction stands on a natural terrace from which an extensive landscape is dominated. The main house houses the museum that wonderfully preserves furniture, ceramics, musical instruments, weapons and carriages. It has a colonial chapel, an artificial lake and huge gardens in which its monumental fig tree stands out.\nFrancisco Javier Clavijero Botanical Garden\nThis garden and sanctuary is located just 15 minutes from the city of Xalapa and on tropical mountain lands where the smell of coffee is felt.\nIn it you will find an extensive collection of plants and vegetation, made up of regional specimens and others brought from other parts of the world. You will also see the National of Cycads, which refers to the oldest plants in Mexico and another ethnobotanical collection, which has more uses than you could imagine.\nOn the other hand, the Fog Forest Sanctuary is an area where you will find plants from the northern to the southern hemisphere, which live in an extraordinary coexistence that you will hardly see anywhere else. It should be added that this ecosystem currently represents a small part of the national territory as a result of overexploitation, so we assure you, you will not regret knowing.", "domain": "geography"}

Let’s look at the best things to do in Cancun right now.\nExplore the Cenotes\nCenotes (“sinkholes”) are natural underground pools in a dark cave. These cenotes are very common in the state of Yucatan near Cancun.\nThe water is filtered naturally and you will notice the stunningly clear water with tiny fishes swimming everywhere.\nYou can’t leave Cancun without visiting a cenote. There are over 6000 cenotes near Cancun: if you’re short on time, try to add a cenote or two during your day trips. Most cenote tours on Viator will include hotel pick-up and drop-offs.\nExplore the Underwater Museum\nWhat’s better than visiting a museum? How about visiting a museum with over 500 underwater sculptures! MUSA, Museo Subacuático de Arte, is a museum devoted to conserve and protect the coral reefs. It also happens to be a popular tourist destination since its inception in 2010.\nTo see the underwater museum, beginners should opt for snorkeling or book a glass-bottom boat tour. If you’re an experienced scuba diver, you can see the sculptures up close and personal.\nMuseo Subacuático de Arte. Cerrada Las Golondrinas 24, Alfredo Bonfil, 77560 Cancún, Q.R., Mexico – Tickets\nPlaya Delfines and El Rey\nPlaya Delfines (Dolphin Beach) is a free public beach in the Hotel Zone that is worth the visit because it is left undeveloped and kept most of its natural look. There are no hotels, restaurants, or buildings on this beach – only a few palapas and chairs.\nIf you’re not staying at a beach resort, this is the beach you want to visit for a peaceful and relaxing day in the sun. You’ll also find the colorful “Cancun” sign at the beach – perfect backdrop for your vacation photo.\nAfter the beach, head over to the nearby archaeological zone called El Rey. It is made up of 47 structures built by the Mayans somewhere between 250-600 AD.\nPlaya Delfines. Kukulkan, Zona Hotelera, 77500 Cancún, Q.R., Mexico\nEl Rey Archaeological Zone. Hotel Zone, 77500 Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico\nVisit Xcaret’s Theme Park\nBuilt in the same area as the Xcaret archaeological site, the Xcaret Park is a theme park surrounded by jungle and natural pools. This is not your average theme park with roller coasters!\nSince it is located a few minutes away from Playa del Carmen, we highly recommend you visit Xcaret at the same time.\nIf you purchase your ticket online here, you will be given free transportation to Xcaret from Cancun, Playa del Carmen or Riviera Maya.\nXcaret Park. Carretera Chetúmal-Puerto Juárez Kilómetro 282, Solidaridad, 77710 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico – Tickets\nZipline through the Jungle\nThe same people that built the Xcaret Park also offers Xplor zip-lines: the tallest zip-lines in Cancun at 45 meters (49 yards) high.\nWith 7 different zip-lines, this is not for the faint of heart. Xplor also has amphibious vehicles (works on land and water), rafts, and cenotes.\nThis is the perfect time to make use of your action camera. If you don’t already have an action camera like the reliable GoPro HERO, buy the YI 4K Action Camera for a cheaper – yet powerful – alternative on Amazon.\nXplor Park. Carretera Cancún -Tulum Km 282 Puerto Juarez, 77710 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico – Tickets\nExplore Cancun’s Hotel Zone\nThe Zona Hotelera (Hotel Zone) is known for its nightlife and parties. Don’t miss out on Coco Bongo! It’s a mix of a nightclub and a show at the same time. Drinks are unlimited if you purchase your tickets online here.\nFor shopping, head over to La Isla – it’s an indoor-outdoor shopping village with shops, restaurants, aquarium, theater, and a Ferris wheel.\nFor luxury brands, the Fashion Harbour and Luxury Avenue Mall have many upscale brands along with Mexican luxury brands. Don’t forget to take advantage of the tax refund when shopping in Cancun.\nGetting around Cancun’s Hotel Zone (Zona Hotelera) is extremely easy with the public bus and costs around $1 USD per trip.\nThousands of years ago, the Mayan people built the jaw-dropping El Castillo (Temple of Kukulcan) – a large pyramid located in the ancient city of Chichen Itza.\nLocated about 2 hours from Cancun, it’s a great day trip to take a break from the beach life. There was a time where you were allowed to climb the pyramid but that’s no longer the case.\nChichen Itza is widely considered as one of the 7 Wonders of the World and is one of the most visited archaeological sites in Mexico. Unfortunately, that means it gets very crowded with tourists.\nIf you plan to book a tour, try booking a tour that arrives early to avoid the busiest times of the day.\nChichen Itza. Yucatan, Mexico – Tickets and tours\nCancun is home to some of the best snorkeling spots in the World whereas you can see everything from turtles to whale sharks to stingrays. Here are the best spots for snorkeling within 30 minutes from Cancun.\n- MUSA: The Underwater Museum should be at the top of your list\n- Punta Nizuc: Conveniently located at the south tip of Cancun’s Hotel Zone\n- Puerto Morelos: About 30 minutes south from Cancun\n- Isla Mujeres: A snorkeling paradise that is only a short boat ride away\nVisit Isla Mujeres\nIsla Mujeres is an island located only 13 kilometers (8 miles) off the coast from Cancun. The Playa Norte (North Beach) is a great spot to either relax or to snorkel. There’s also a good number of all-inclusive resorts on Isla Mujeres if you haven’t booked a hotel yet.\nHead over to the Tortugranja (Turtle Farm) to see different species of turtles and learn how this sanctuary is doing their best to protect endangered marine turtles.\nDay Trip to Tulum\nTulum is a unique resort town built on the ruins of an ancient Mayan city overlooking the Carribean coast.\nOnce a quiet town, Tulum is now one of the most visited archaeological in Mexico after Chichen Itza and Teotihuacan near Mexico City.\nLocated only about 2 hours away from Cancun, you can visit both the Tulum Ruins and the nearby stunning beaches together during the same day.\nIf you have extra time, consider spending a few nights at one of the various boutique hotels in Tulum.\nWhat about Downtown Cancun?\nLocated only a few minutes away from Cancun’s Hotel Zone, El Centro (Downtown Cancun) provides an authentic taste of Mexican culture as opposed to the Hotel Zone.\nEl Centro is where many of the locals live so you will be able to find small shops, tons of street food, and local bars.\n- Head over to the Mercado 28 for the largest market in Cancun – this is a good place to buy souvenirs and taste some street food.\n- Parque Las Palapas is the main park where you can also find food carts, local handicrafts, and other goodies.\n- The wide boulevard Avenida Tulum is the heart of Downtown Cancun.\nBut is it safe? If you do a search online, you’ll find polarizing answers to the level of safety in Downtown Cancun.\nSome reviewers will rave about Downtown Cancun and prefer it over the Hotel Zone. Others swear that it is dirty, dangerous, and totally a waste of time.\nLike most polarizing questions, the answer lies somewhere in the middle. If you’re not the adventurous type – maybe it’s best to stay in the Hotel Zone.\nIf you’re a travel veteran and know how to stay a low-profile, El Centro is a hidden gem not overrun by tourists and is an immersive way to experience the local life.\nOther things to do\n- Visit the island of Cozumel\n- Celebrating something special? Try a fine-dining experience at Tempo by Michelin star Spanish chef Martin Berasategui\n- Eat and drink all day at an all-inclusive resort – why not?\nMost tourists will come to Cancun for its all-inclusive resorts and there’s nothing wrong with that!\nHowever, we do suggest adding at least one excursion – chances are it will be the most memorable part of your trip to Cancun!\nDid we miss anything? What do you think are the best things to do in Cancun?\nLooking to book your next trip?

Throughout the Greater San Antonio area, the Foundation provides seed funding and support for initiatives demonstrating the greatest potential to improve the lives of local children and families, schools, and the overall community.\nRecognizing the importance of early development of children, the Foundation supported the establishment of Early Matters, a community-driven organization created to “catalyze the power of people, partnerships, and investments to make San Antonio the best place in the country for children and families.”\nCollaboration is a core value of the Charles Butt Foundation and represents an essential building block in marshalling all stakeholders to ensure our youngest San Antonians have a strong start. As a part of ensuring a strong start for children, the Foundation is supporting the establishment of the first Educare Center in Texas in the southern sector of San Antonio. Educare provides a model of research-based, high-quality childcare from birth to age 5.\nExpanding into PK-12 education in San Antonio, the Foundation is a proud lead supporter of CAST Schools, a growing network of innovative schools designed in partnership with local public school districts, industry partners, and community leaders to provide students with authentic experiences in high potential career pathways.\nTo foster real-world learning across the region, the Foundation supports SA Works, which provides job shadowing and internship experiences for high school and college students throughout San Antonio.\nSince post-secondary education and training is essential for employment in today’s economy, the Foundation supports both Alamo Promise, which provides two-year, tuition-free certification or an associate’s degree at any of the Alamo Colleges, and the National Post-Secondary Strategy Institute national network, focused on increasing college and career outcomes for low-income and minority students throughout the region.\nBuilding on the value of research and data-informed problem-solving in education, two of the organizations and initiatives that the Charles Butt Foundation supports augment San Antonio’s capacity to learn together and to assemble essential data for more informed decision-making. The UP Partnership is a local nonprofit committed to using data and aligning resources to create equitable systems and ensure all young people in Bexar County are ready for the future. The San Antonio Education Forums, presented by the SA Report, annually bring together educators with civic, business, and non-profit leaders to address Bexar County’s most pressing PK-12 public education challenges and opportunities. Each of these organizations foster deep collaboration across sectors in San Antonio to improve the educational outcomes of the region’s children.\nWith the onset of the pandemic, technology and access to the internet became essential for students and for families. Over the years, the San Antonio region has struggled with digital access, so a team of community leaders, with initial support from the Charles Butt Foundation, created a public-private-community collaboration called SA Digital Connects. The collaborative developed the San Antonio and Bexar County Digital Equity Plan, which is advocating with city and county officials to designate local, state, and federal funding for initiatives to close the digital divide, and will track and report progress in un/under-served areas disproportionally impacting some of San Antonio’s most vulnerable families and individuals, including PK-12 students.", "domain": "geography"}

Here’s a detailed look on each of the GPS bike mounts mentioned in the chart.\n1.

GARMIN 010-10454-00 Handlebar Bike Mount (for GPSMAP 60 Series)\nThis GPS bike mount does not come any less than the first one.

While there, we both discovered the mineral spring waters, minutes from the resort, that Thomas Jefferson used as therapy for his rheumatoid arthritis. While soaking in the legendary mineral spring waters, we could understand why Jefferson pronounced them to be \"the very best\". There, we experienced complete relaxation of mind and body as we restored our spirit in the natural mineral spring waters of the legendary Jefferson Pools.\nThe magnificent, naturally warm mineral springs are located just five miles down the road (Rt. 220/Sam Snead Highway) from The Homestead 1766 resort, now owned and operated by The Omni Hotels. The Pools were originally developed as a spa resort in the mid 1750's. On June 1, 1761, an octagonal wooden building was opened to the public. To my surprise, the experience intentionally remains very much as it was back then. When you first see it, the first thought that comes to mind is, \"Is this old building actually the spa?\" Looking beyond the 18th century appearance, and after \"taking the waters\" inside, its authenticity was actually very charming. I couldn't help but imagine sitting across from Thomas Jefferson himself.\nOnce opened, Warm Springs expanded rapidly as a spa resort. Hotels, dining rooms and kitchens, taverns, livery stables and blacksmith shops, as well as a church, laundry and related buildings were built to accommodate the growing number of guests. On August 13, 1818, at the age 75, Thomas Jefferson was one of those travelers, who arrived at The Homestead to \"take the waters\" for his rheumatism. 196 years later, to the day, my husband and I would be visiting the same pool that my favorite founding father visited. You cannot imagine how I felt once realizing the coincidence in dates! Jefferson stayed at The Homestead for over three weeks, \"taking the waters\" down the road several times each day. Each day, my husband and I enjoyed breakfast and dinner in The Homestead's Jefferson Grill, as well as visited the legendary Jefferson Pools. Our trip will be one of my fondest birthday memories!\nThe historic natural spring pools are named in honor of their most illustrious patron...they are The Homestead's Jefferson Pools!

Earth Observation technologies were as distant and removed from my worldview as the satellites and the space themselves.\nHowever, I was curious, and my mind was triggered to find out and understand if there is any value in it for me.\nMy research into the subject was earth shattering, continuing with the space jargon here. As it turns out, our lives, my life is very much space-enabled. I am now using the language of Danielle Wood, who is a professor of MIT and who has founded there a Space Enabled Research Group. Here is what I have learned:\n- Space helps me communicate. The communication satellites that are orbiting the Earth enable us talk to each other.\n- Space helps me locate myself. The positioning satellites that are orbiting the Earth enable me to find and geo-position myself in the world.\n- Space makes me smarter. The findings from the research that takes place in space (the microgravity research) can be extrapolated and used here on Earth to advance medicine, science and many other disciplines.\n- Space makes sure that I am not hungry. The data that is made available through Earth observation technology helps us track crops, vegetation, water supplier and much more.\n- Space makes me safer. The space can warm me against the areas of danger or stress in the world that could guide me in my movements.\nIt was such a powerful and amazing discovery that the space, so alien and far help me be human and live my human live here on Earth. In a way, space reinforces my humanity, and that goes for every person on this planet.\nComing with this discovery into the session, I have expanded my knowledge on the subject even further. During the discussion, we have uncovered new, exciting opportunities for enabling researchers to access and compute geo-data. The solution is called the data cube and it allows dynamic and large scale data processing, and there is already one regional example in Armenia. Building on this, NRENs have a fantastic opportunity to connect researchers and decision maker through the connectivity and data services, and as a result to strengthen their role and value for the local and regional economy. This value proposition will be captured by a position paper that will be put together by GÉANT in coming month.

Hoffman is a research geologist formerly with the Geological Survey of Canada and Harvard University. His 55 years of ongoing field work are split between Paleoproterozoic basins and tectonics in northern Canada, and Neoproterozoic paleoceanography–paleoclimate in northern Namibia. In the 1970s and ‘80s, he successfully applied the new concepts of plate tectonics to the Precambrian. He established the paradigm that cratonic North America is a composite of six or more formerly independent Archean microcontinents, convulsively assembled as part of the supercontinent Nuna in geon 18 (1800-1899 Ma). In 1992, sensing that deepsea and glacial ice-core proxy data were revitalizing paleoceanography–paleoclimate, just as paleomagnetism and marine geophysics had revolutionized tectonics thirty years earlier, he abruptly switched his research focus to the Neoproterozoic. In the 1990s and 2000s, he and geochemical oceanographer Dan Schrag were the leading advocates of the snowball Earth hypothesis for low-latitude Cryogenian glaciations and cap carbonates. Critical predictions of the snowball hypothesis, greatly elevated atmospheric CO2 at deglaciation and synchroneity of glaciation and deglaciation globally at low latitudes, are increasingly supported by new data. Hoffman’s best known papers are, United plates of America: the birth of a craton (1987), Did the breakout of Laurentia turn Gondwanaland inside-out? (1991), and A Neoproterozoic snowball Earth (1998). A recipient of the Wegener Medal (European Union of Geosciences), Wollaston Medal (Geological Society of London), Bucher Medal (American Geophysical Union) and Penrose Medal (Geological Society of America), he lives in Victoria, British Columbia.\nRichard Goldfarb (Colorado School of Mines, China University of Geosciences Beijing)\nRichard Goldfarb received his BS degree in geology from Bucknell University, an MS degree in hydrology from the MacKay School of Mines, and a PhD degree in geology from the University of Colorado. He was a research geologist with the Minerals Program of the U.S. Geological Survey for 35 years. Rich worked on the program’s Alaskan resource assessment projects for three decades, leading the Survey’s Alaska geochemical exploration research group during the late 1980s and 1990s. Since the middle 1990s, he has been involved with many of the Survey’s international metallogeny studies and was most recently chief of the Mineral Deposit Models project. As of the start of 2016, he divides his time as an adjunct professor at the Colorado School of Mines, University of Western Australia, and the China University of Geosciences, as well as serving as a consultant to the exploration industry. He continues to run many workshops on gold exploration for industry geologists. Rich’s major expertise is the geology of gold deposits. He has conducted studies on the distribution of gold deposits throughout the world, compiling some of the most comprehensive global descriptions of their spatial-temporal setting and evaluating their controlling factors as guides to exploration. His research has been focused on global metallogeny, geology of ore deposits in the North American Cordillera with emphasis on orogenic gold, and distribution and geology of lode gold deposits in China and elsewhere in Asia. Rich has authored more than 200 papers on mineral resources, with many recognized as the authoritative research on orogenic gold and on aspects of regional metallogeny, as well as editing numerous books. Rich is Past-President of the Society of Economic Geologists and was past chief editor of Mineralium Deposita.\nSandy Steacy (University of Adelaide)\nSandy Steacy is an earthquake scientist who is particularly interested in stress interaction and time dependent seismic hazard. After graduating with a geology degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she went to the University of Southern California to complete a PhD with Professor Charlie Sammis. Sandy then moved to the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland where she became Professor of Earthquake Physics in 2007; she joined the University of Adelaide in January 2015.\nSandy’s current research is in the general area of operational earthquake forecasting, in essence the determination of time dependent changes to earthquake probabilities. Her work focuses on the computation of Coulomb stress changes which affect earthquake likelihood in time and space, and in combining this physics based approach with geological and statistical models. Sandy was a member of the expert elicitation panel on future seismic hazard in the Canterbury region whose work informed the revised building codes in Christchurch, New Zealand. She was also lead editor of a special issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research on ‘stress transfer, earthquake triggering, and time-dependent seismic hazard’, and is lead author of the review paper that introduces the volume.\nProfessor Sandy Steacy\nHead of the School of Physical Sciences\nThe University of Adelaide\nKen McClay (University of London)\nKen McClay is Professor of Structural Geology, Department of Earth Sciences, Royal Holloway University of London.

And in the equator... I don't know, It doesn't turn in the equator, it just falls straight down I guess. Those who want to go a little further and are able to remember the name, normally attribute this effect to a mysterious Coriolis effect. Although probably they are not able to explain what it is, the fact that it relates to a scientific theory seems enough to give credibility without actually checking if this relationship is real, although anyone can try it at home: just pull the plug and look how the water falls.\nThe proof... or not\nYou can actually see exhibits on the line of the equator that try to prove so: they empty a sink above the line of equator and the water falls straight down the drain. After moving a few meters to one hemisphere, the water falls turning around the drain. Finally, they move a few meters across the equator to the other hemisphere, and water falls spinning in the other direction.\nThe first problem I encounter to believe this experiment is that I have to accept that the line painted on the floor marks the separation between the north and south hemispheres with an accuracy of about one meter, since this alleged difference between north and south hemispheres is observed by only moving a couple of meters across this line. The other problem I find is that this radical change about water always turning in one direction and just crossing the equator behaving totally different and turning in the other direction sounds almost like magic, doesn't it?\nBut hey, let's be complacent and forget these points. There is a more serious problem: the three tests are not performed with the same conditions. To verify that a given variable is the cause that produces an effect you have to keep constant the other factors that can also alter the result, and that is not being done in this experiment. Apart from the location of the sink, there is another important factor that is being changed: the state of repose or initial movement of the water. We see that in the first test, performed \"above\" of the equator, the water is at rest (more or less). In the second, as the water is poured, the bucket is moved to the left (clockwise) and in the third, they throw the water moving the bucket to the right (counterclockwise).\nAlso note that they throw some leaves to the water so you can see how the water falls down the drain in the predicted direction. But they throw them after opening the drain so you can't see that the water was already in motion before opening the drain. For the same reason, they remove all the leaves before making the next test, so you can't note they are cheating when they throw the water.\nAnd that initial movement they apply is just the same the water haves as it falls down the drain. The water is just keeping the same movement initially applied to it, and as the circumference of the rotation gets smaller as it approaches the drain, it will increase its speed (conservation of angular momentum).\nWell, you see that in this typical demonstration they are cheating, but that doesn't mean that without that initial movement we won't get the same result. Have you tested it? Have you asked to prove it to the person that told you? Does water always fall in the direction predicted by the hypothesis in all the drains at your home? Notice that I emphasized \"all\" and \"always\" as the urban legend says that the water drains in the northern hemisphere turn in one direction and in the south always in the opposite direction, as a kind of physical law \"explained\" by the unexplained Coriolis effect. So, by finding a single case which doesn't fulfill, we will void the hypothesis.\nI have myself done the same test and, oh, surprise, without moving from my home in the Spanish northwest I made the water turn clockwise when it is assumed that in the northern hemisphere should always turn counterclockwise:\nIn case you still have doubts, I also managed to turn it counterclockwise:\nThat is, without changing hemisphere, I managed to turn it in both directions. Is not supposed that water should always rotate in the same direction unless we change hemisphere? How did I do it? Well as you can see in the video, using the same cheat as in the initial video: by applying an initial movement in the direction that I am interested in.\nIf we do not apply enough initial movement (in a \"homespun\" experiment like this one is inevitable to apply disturbances when you pull the plug), I see no movement in the drain, which supposedly only happens in the equator:\nSo, does water turn always in the same direction in each of the hemispheres when going down the drain? Not really. Sometimes it turns in one direction and sometimes in the other one, it depends on various factors such as the shape and position of the basin, the plug position, the initial state of the water, ... Well, what then? Is the Coriolis effect fake? No, Coriolis effect exists and is very important for example in air travel, storms and tides. To a lesser extent, it theoretically influences the water drain, but its influence is so weak that it is nullified by other factors and even if we cancel these other factors, the influence of the Coriolis effect is too weak to be perceptible:\nThe question, then, is whether the Coriolis effect could be detected in the water of my basin. The answer is yes, and in fact, it has been achieved. If you have a circular sink over a meter in diameter filled with water completely still (except, of course, by the rotation of the Earth) with a tiny hole in its precise geometric center obstructed by a plug reachable from the bottom so as not to introduce spurious movements in the liquid, and had the entire system in a non-seismic and totally free of vibration area, it could be tested. You have to let the water settle for at least a week (or, better, for one month) for the molecules to lose all motion and then gently remove the bottom plug. Water will begin to flow through the small hole, emptying the tank, and if the process continues for 14 or 20 hours, we will see that gradually the Earth's rotation begins to introduce small deviations in the flow of fluid to achieve a circular motion. The motion is clearly cyclonic type, and rotates clockwise in our southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. — Dos Santos, Marcelo. \"La \"verdad\" mentirosa\" [translated by me]. Axxón. Num. 139 (june 2004)\nThe Coriolis effect\nIt is not my intention to give a very precise and deep explanation of the topic. First of all, because then another one will have to do it, and secondly because this article is not written for graduates in physics but for the general public who has the widespread belief that water swirls in different directions in each hemisphere. For this reason, I will use some terms that can squeak the most orthodox people but that will make easier their understanding, such as the Earth \"escaping\" of the airplanes after \"pushing them\" or that the Earth rotates at different speeds depending on the latitude. In the latter, I obviously mean linear speed, but will omit this clarification from now on.\nWe could describe the Coriolis effect as the apparent deviation of a straight path that an observer perceives from a system in rotation whose axis of rotation is perpendicular to that said straight path.\nAs usual, everything is best understood with an example:\nOkay, okay, I put that video just because it's fun, but does not explain very well the Coriolis effect.\nIn this one, we can see that there is an object making a straight path — the pen. However, an observer situated on the circumference that makes a rotational movement will see the pen describing a curved path: the line drawn on the circumference.\nThe most common example which I think makes people understand very quickly how Coriolis effect works is the Carousel.\nThis video explains it very well because they show the path seen by an observer outside of the rotation system and another observer inside. Therefore, as one can clearly see, the object describes a straight path while the rotating observer perceives it as a curve.\nIn these cases, the difference caused by the Coriolis effect is big compared to that produced on Earth since the angular speed of the system in the example is much higher than the one on Earth and the path to examine extends from one side to the other of the system.\nThis is not the case of drains on Earth, of course. If we had a drain covering almost from one side to the other of an Earth that took a few seconds to turn around itself we would be able to appreciate the Coriolis effect in drains.\nTo understand why we don't appreciate the Coriolis effect on our tiny drains on our slow Earth, let's go back to the subject of the airplane.\nI told above that the Coriolis effect is noticeable in airplanes. And indeed it is very important: if we don't take care of it, we may never reach our destination.\nWe can see what happens in this animation:\nThe plane starts its flight in a straight path because it wants to reach a point that it's \"in front\" of it. But as it goes straight it's destination \"escapes\" due to the rotation of the Earth. So it has to alter its trajectory and at the end it makes a curved path. This is because the linear velocity of rotation is not the same at all points of the globe. The Earth takes one day to turn around itself at any point on the planet, but the circle it has to describe is much smaller on a pole that on the equator. That is, in the equator travels much farther in the same time, so we can say that as we reach the pole, the [linear] speed of the rotation decreases. The plane begins its path \"pushed\" by the linear velocity of the rotation of the Earth at the time it takes off, but as we have seen, as it reaches the pole, the linear velocity of rotation decreases, so Earth is \"left behind\" by the airplane. The Earth does not rotate as fast (note, again, I'm speaking about linear velocity) at the point the plane aims to reach as at the point from which it took off, so the target is not \" where we expected.\"\nWell, as told above, this happens because, as the diameter of the circle of rotation of the Earth decreases on the area of the Earth we are, the speed at which it rotates to make a full turn in a day will decrease too. I think that this will make us realize that the difference in the size of the rotation circle in the different points of the drain is not enough to notice the Coriolis effect.\nBut if my empirical demonstration and \"homespun\" explanation are not enough for you and you want to know more about this issue with its equations that show how Coriolis effect (not) really affects drains, there is huge information on the net about this topic. For example, in Spanish: The Túzaro, El Tamiz and the aforementioned Axxón magazine. Sorry, I haven't collected links in English.", "domain": "geography"}

Moderate to heavy with at times intense rains over the rest of Visayas, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Romblon, the central portion of Palawan, Calamian Islands, and Dinagat Islands. Light to moderate with at times heavy rains over Bicol Region, Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga del Norte, Quezon, and the rest of MIMAROPA and Caraga.\n• Under these conditions, scattered to widespread flooding (including flash floods) and rain-induced landslides are expected especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazard as identified in hazard maps, and in localities with significant antecedent rainfall.\n• Strong winds (strong breeze to near gale) with higher gusts will be experienced within any of the areas where TCWS #1 is currently in effect during the passage of the severe tropical storm. This may generally bring up to very light damage to structures and vegetation.\n• Areas under TCWS will be expanded in succeeding bulletins, while the hoisted wind signals in some localities of the country will be upgraded as “ODETTE” moves closer. The highest level of wind signal that may be hoisted during the passage of “ODETTE” is TCWS #3 due to possible destructive typhoon-force winds in localities near or along the path of this tropical cyclone.\nHAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS\n• Under the influence of Severe Tropical Storm “ODETTE” and the prevailing Northeast Monsoon, a Gale Warning remains effect for the seaboards of Northern Luzon, the eastern seaboard of Central Luzon, the eastern and western seaboards of Southern Luzon and Visayas, and the eastern seaboard of Mindanao. For more information, refer to Gale Warning #46 (Intermediate) issued at 11:00 PM today.\n• Within the same period, moderate to rough seas (1.2 to 3.1 m) will prevail over the remaining seaboards of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and Visayas, and the western and northern seaboards of Mindanao. These conditions are risky for those using small seacrafts. Mariners are advised to take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating in these conditions.\nTRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK\n• “ODETTE” is forecast to move west northwestward tonight through tomorrow, then westward beginning Thursday. On the forecast track, the center of this tropical cyclone is forecast to make landfall in the vicinity of Caraga or Eastern Visayas on Thursday afternoon or evening. Afterwards, the center “ODETTE” will continue moving generally westward and cross several provinces in Central and Western Visayas regions before emerging over the Sulu Sea on Friday morning or afternoon. After passing near or over the Cuyo archipelago, this tropical cyclone is forecast to cross the northern portion of Palawan on Friday evening.\n• Further intensification is expected tomorrow through Thursday as the severe tropical storm crosses the Philippine Sea east of Mindanao. “ODETTE” is forecast to intensify into a typhoon within 12 hours and may reach a peak intensity of 155 km/h prior to making landfall on Thursday afternoon or evening. This tropical cyclone may see some slight weakening as it crosses the Visayas and Palawan, but it is forecast to remain within the typhoon category. Re-intensification is likely once “ODETTE” emerges over the West Philippine Sea.\nConsidering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. For heavy rainfall warnings, thunderstorm/rainfall advisories, and other severe weather information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your local PAGASA Regional Services Division.\nThe next tropical cyclone bulletin will be issued at 5:00 AM tomorrow.\nSevere Tropical Storm “#OdettePH”", "domain": "geography"}

Since then, CIP has worked across all geographies in Pakistan from the most vulnerable remote areas to developed urban centres to support people in overcoming poverty through creating opportunities for self-reliance. We adhere to the humanitarian principles of impartiality and neutrality.\nCIP employs a partnership model, working with local implementing partners to strengthen their capacities in the delivery of programs that align with the Government of Pakistan’s (GoP) development objectives. Believing in localization, CIP provides technical assistance to local partners, who work in rural and urban communities across the country. In Pakistan, we have designed contextualised models which apply evidence and learning from past programs and current innovations to influence broader change and to scale up effective solutions. CIP’s approach is based on leveraging the talents and capacities of communities for self-reliance, rather than making them dependent on aid.\nWith the support of our partners in government, civil society, academia and for-profit organizations, CIP has promoted equality and inclusion, particularly in the areas of Health, Education, Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE), Food Security and Nutrition (FSN) and Emergency Response (ER).\nWe seek a world of hope, inclusion and social justice, where\npoverty has been overcome and all people live in dignity and security.\nSave lives, defeat poverty, and achieve social justice.\nWe put women and girls in the center because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities.", "domain": "geography"}

Most of the causes of erosions are traceable to bad management practices such as roads without proper drainage or catchments pits, blocking drainage channels with refuse, deforestation, unsustainable farming and mining of sand.\nIt is time for us to create institutions and implement policies that will guarantee a sustainable environment.\nHon.

Though there is so much to see and experience in Cairo, many people find themselves with only one day in which to see the main sights of the city. If you find yourself in this position, there are a few musts that simply cannot be missed.\nHere is your ultimate guide to a one-day visit to Cairo.\nBegin your one-day tour of Cairo with an early morning visit to the Giza plateau. It is essential to visit the Pyramids and the Sphinx, no matter how many pictures you have seen of them before. The experience will leave you humbled as you will be taken aback by the sheer size of the structures and the brief history that your tour guide will give you about how and when they were built.\nAfter visiting the Giza plateau, head towards central Cairo and visit the Egyptian Museum. Though you can spend an entire day at the museum alone, there are a few must-sees that can compensate for the short nature of the duration of your trip. The mummy rooms and the King Tut rooms are a simple must. You can also shop in the museum gift shop for books and memorable souvenirs.\nOnce you are done with your visit to the Egyptian Museum, get ready to get lost in the labyrinthine of fascination that is Khan El Khalili. The 600-year-old Khan El Khalili Bazaar is where truly authentic art pieces that are crafted to perfection can be bought. It is also where a completely different face of Cairo is uncovered as a switch from Pharoanic Egypt to Islamic Egypt occurs.\nTo see Cairo from yet another completely different angle, visit the Cairo Tower. It is the tallest building in Egypt and its design was inspired by the lotus flower, which is symbolic of Egyptian history. The capsula at the top of the tower contains a revolving restaurant that gives a spectacular 360-degree view of the entire city of Cairo, all while enjoying a hearty and healthy meal amidst friendly and professional service.\nEnd your day perfectly by paying a visit to Al-Azhar Park in the heart of old historic Cairo. The park commands stunning panoramic views and offers lush green landscaped gardens and walkways. This 30-hectare (74-acre) Al-Azhar Park lets you enjoy exotic settings amidst a variety of unique cafes and restaurants that are thoughtfully positioned for visitors to appreciate the most dramatic views of Cairo.\nThough Cairo is a city that you can rediscover daily, these basic guidelines can be your first step to what will be one of many visits to this magical city.", "domain": "geography"}

In the 1820’s the Erie Canal opened, connecting the Hudson River to the Genesee river. This allowed Rochester’s flour to be transported quickly downstate.

The ROC quickly became surrounded by nurseries large and small, earning its new title the “flower city.” Soon after, Frederick Law Olmsted completed the development of Highland Park, that has become home to over 400 varieties lilac flowers.

(AP) — The western Colorado town of Parachute is getting a marijuana shop with a drive-up window, believed to be the first …\nCOLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Paul Vondergathen loves hiking through the Strawberry Fields area of Cheyenne Canyon.\n“I hike here maybe three, four times a week with my dogs,” Vondergathen said.\nThe 190-acre open space is on the trading blocks. The Colorado Springs city council approved a trade with The Broadmoor Hotel in exchange for other trails and open space. They plan to use it for horse stables and riding trails but say they will still leave some area open to the public.\nIn exchange, the city would receive 155 acres of land – called Ruxton Canyon – that includes the heart of the Manitou Incline.\nOpponents of the transaction say deal violates the whole spirit of the law that made the land a park in the first place.\n“That park has been in the family for 131 years and it was voted on by the voters in 1885,” Richard Skorman of the Save Cheyenne group said. “We think the voters should have a chance to vote on whether to sell it or trade or not.”\nSkorman has filed a lawsuit to stop the transaction and is trying to collect a little more than 15,000 signatures by January 4th to put the proposal (Protect Our Parkland, or POPS) on the April ballot. But the mayor’s office doesn’t support the measure.\n“The city goes through regular land transactions all the time,” Jeff Greene, the Mayor’s Chief of Staff said. “It could be public right-aways, easements or utilities. You’re just basically going to disrupt any kind of activity that will benefit the city or community.”\nSkorman goes back to a battle he waged in 1998. The developer wanted to build hundreds of homes where the Stratton Open Space now sits. “We don’t want to set a president where the city sells or trades an area of open space.”\nIn 1997, the group convinced voters to approve a sales tax to help pay for open space and avoid developments like the 1998 attempt.\nBack to Vondergathen, the German native who moved to the area more than four decades ago, said he supports The Broadmoor.\n“There are plenty of open spaces I hike all the time,” he said. “I think they have always done good things for the community and trust they will do the right thing.”\nThe issue may wind up in the hands of the voters.

Welcome to my blog. My name is Col. I live in Perth and I have a passion for construction. I am pretty useless when it comes to construction work so I tend to leave it to the experts. However, I find that there is nothing more pleasing than seeing a team of construction workers complete a job. Over the years, I have hired many different types of construction worker and they have all taken the time to chat with me. During these conversations, I have learnt so pretty interesting things which I will be exploring on this blog. Enjoy!\nPlanning to commence construction on a subdivided lot? You need to know about engineering surveying before embarking on the project.\nSo, what is an engineering survey and how can it benefit your project? Stick around to find out.\nEngineering Survey – What Is It?\nA land survey is an integral part of any new or continuing land development. It is commonly performed to define the boundaries of a property, to identify the features of a property, to fulfill local building codes and regulations, and to determine existing easements, utilities, and covenants. But not all land surveys are created the same. One of the land surveys that is typically performed before developing land is an engineering survey.\nThis type of land survey helps to identify conditions and geographic features that may impact construction on the property. The geospatial information gathered from conducting an engineering survey is essential for construction projects in a number of different ways.\nWhat Are the Benefits of an Engineering Survey?\nHere are three important reasons to perform an engineering survey before building on your subdivided property:\nProject planning and design\nBefore any work can begin at your construction site, it is important to ensure that layout of the lot is well-thought-out and the design of the structure to be built meets local building codes and regulations.\nEngineering surveyors can investigate the features of your property and help you come up with a practical building design that conforms to legal requirements. An engineering surveyor will look into all the civil works needed to build on your land and set everything out for you. This will allow you to go about your project in an organised, well-coordinated manner.\nBeyond project planning and design, it is important to follow quality standards throughout the construction process. An engineering surveyor can provide the expert insight needed to know if your construction project is on track to meet expectations. They'll crunch the numbers to ensure you structure is built according to the given tolerances.\nAn engineering survey can also be performed post-construction to ensure the structure is strong and safe for human occupation. Any existing flaws are noted down, and corrective action recommended.\nWhen it comes to building on subdivided property, every project is different. If you're ready to request for an engineering survey, contact an experienced land surveyor in your local area to discuss about your project needs and requirements.", "domain": "geography"}

The rejuvenating power of nature is so deeply magical and the beauty fills me with awe and wonder. I love to hike, hug trees, and soak up the mountain air.\nI feel equally as refreshed living near the ocean. I often drive or walk along the beach, watching the sun shimmering on the ocean, whales spouting, and witnessing glorious sunsets. The power of this beauty has inspired a constant flow of joy and gratitude and it has been such a gift to have this self-nurturing practice.\nI love the ocean but the forest holds my heart. Forests seems to breathe with me and embrace me with their sacred silence. I feel such reverence walking amongst these trees and always feel like I have come home. I love watching the sun lighting up the leaves and branches and creating layers of light and amazing reflections. Every step I take through the forest is in deep awe and wonder and I feel so nourished by the experience.\nAs John Muir wrote, “This is the best tree-lover’s monument…in all the forests of the world.” Indeed my deep love of trees leads me over and over again to the forest and has since I was a girl. I used to play In the forest and still feel that childlike wonder any time I am among the trees.\nWhere do you go in nature to rejuvenate?\nHow often do you nurture yourself in this way?\nHow does connecting with the beauty around you change how you view the world?\n“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.” ~Rachel Carson\nMay you reconnect with the rejuvenating power of nature and nurture peace in the world from the inside out!\nSending you so much peace, love and gratitude,\nKelley Grimes, M.S.W.\nCounselor, Author & Speaker\nSign up to receive daily reminders with our mobile app!", "domain": "geography"}

If you are a history buff, then this is what your diving dreams are made of. Previously only accessible to archaeologists, the 2,000-year-old Greek shipwreck, the Peristera- an underwater museum, is now open to the public.\nAs Greece begins to relax its previously strict restrictions on certain historical sites, The Peristera will become Greece’s first underwater museum, allowing public access of this site to scuba divers. Dive trips to the historic site will be available until October 2, 2020 but will reopen next summer.\nThe Peristera shipwreck stretches across a 25-meter area. Archeologists believe this large merchant ship sunk due to bad weather in 425 BC while transporting thousands of amphorae full of wine from northern Greece to other parts of the ancient Greek empire. The wreck rested at the bottom of the Aegean Sea for 2,000 years until a lone fisherman discovered it in 1985.\nTo help protect the integrity of the wreck, divers will still need to be accompanied by licensed, local dive guides. Divers can book trips in Alonissos, Greece, where they will then depart to the nearby, uninhabited islet of Peristera in the northwest Aegean Sea. The dive guides will take divers to depths of 28 meters to explore the remains of the wreck and its more exciting cargo, nearly 4,000, mostly intact amphorae.\nThis fascinating dive site is being referred to as the Parthenon of shipwrecks due to the historical significance of discovering such a large number of ancient amphorae in a single site. Greek authorities anticipate diver enthusiasm over this site will be high and are planning on opening up additional shipwrecks in the area to scuba divers and underwater enthusiasts with the ultimate goal of forming a diving park.\nWith gin-clear waters and temperatures of up to 25C (77F), this fascinating, historically rich site offers the ultimate adventure. Ancient artifacts are not the only things to explore, however. The wreck is also home to an abundance of Mediterranean marine life, including colorful fish and beautiful sea sponges. With only a month and a half left to access this unique dive site and Greece slowly opening its borders up to other countries, don’t wait…plan your Peristera dive trip today!", "domain": "geography"}

The Agents include National Title Insurance, Alliant National Title Insurance, Attorneys’ Title Guaranty Fund, Connecticut Attorneys Title Insurance, and Security Title Guarantee—and more may be joining the fold.\nWhat’s behind this alliance, and what are the pros—and cons? Is it a game changer?\nFirst, the background: These companies are underwriters that issue title insurance policies. Title insurance agents provide title insurance policies to clients –such as purchasers of real estate and lenders financing real estate deals — through such underwriters. When real estate was booming, prior to the recession, the number of underwriters grew substantially. However, when the real estate market crashed, some underwriters went out of business. Big underwriters also took the opportunity to buy out smaller underwriters, consolidating the market further. Smaller, regional underwriters were left to compete against a handful of giants.\nATRA Alliance Positions Regional Underwriters To Better Compete\nConsolidation in a market resulted in less competition. Additionally, big underwriters increased exclusions demonstrated a reluctance to insure certain kinds of transactions. With fewer underwriters and more exclusions, these five regional underwriters formed an alliance to form a powerful group, better able to compete with the largest underwriters.\nIs it a game changer? That remains to be seen. Certainly, title agencies benefit from having a variety of willing title insurance underwriters to ensure they are able to insure even the largest and most complex transactions. Greater choice and a competitive landscape is also typically good for clients.\nPossible cons? Questions include how well the corporate cultures of ATRA’s members will blend. How will the five firms, which have been functioning in regional markets, operate cooperatively in states with varying regulations and statutes? These and other questions abound. This alliance will provide a very interesting scenario to watch as it unfolds.", "domain": "geography"}

By the mid-nineteenth century, however, the town had fallen on hard times. More than half the population emigrated, mostly to America. Positano was a relatively poor fishing village during the first half of the twentieth century. It began to attract large numbers of tourists in the 1950s, especially after John Steinbeck published his essay about Positano in Harper's Bazaar in May, 1953: \"Positano bites deep\", Steinbeck wrote. \"It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.\"\nThe church of Santa Maria Assunta features a dome made of majolica tiles as well as a thirteenth-century Byzantine icon of a black Madonna. According to local legend, the icon had been stolen from Byzantium and was being transported by pirates across the Mediterranean. A terrible storm had blown up in the waters opposite Positano and the frightened sailors heard a voice on board saying \"Posa, posa!\" (\"Put down! Put down!\"). The precious icon was unloaded and carried to the fishing village and the storm abated. Positano has been featured in several films, including Only You (1994), and Under the Tuscan Sun (2003), as well as more recently in Kath & Kimderella (2012) and being mentioned in the 2009 musical film Nine in the song \"Cinema Italiano\". It also hosts the annual Cartoons on the Bay Festival, at which Pulcinella awards for excellence in animation are presented. From July 1967 and through most of the 1970s, Positano was home to singer-songwriter Shawn Phillips and where most of his best-known work was composed. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones wrote the song \"Midnight Rambler\" in the cafes of Positano while on vacation.", "domain": "geography"}

We are local roofers through and through, but everyone needs a break! The place is brilliant, we loved it. It inspired us to write an article on their roofs and how they differ to the UK roofs!\nAnyone who has ever visited Thailand will remember the distinctive traditional roofs. From a distance, these steep peaks with their pointed gables are eye-catching and beautiful. We see them everywhere, from local traditional Thai houses to the ornate Grand Palace of Bangkok. The roof is a hallmark of Thai architecture, a marvel at the very heart of the nation. But what makes them so unique?\nForm Follows Function\nIn the harsh, cold reaches of Scandinavia, roofs are built steep, so that the snow slides off; while in arid Africa, roofs are built flat. Put simply; form follows function. A building must conform to the needs of the environment, or it will not survive.\nAs such, Thai roofs are steep, with some angles exceeding 45 degrees. A steep roof ensures that during the heavy rains – which can exceed 30 centimetres – the roof does not collect water, and the building remains undamaged. Additionally, most traditional their houses lack a ceiling, so warm air can rise and escape. Thus, keeping the building cool, despite the warm climate.\nTypes of Traditional Thai Roofs\nTypically, Thai roofs are made from terracotta tiles, teak shingles, palm leaf thatch, wood chip, metal roofing sheets (corrugated), or dried grasses. Though the roof is a distinctive part of Thai architecture, they can differ from region to region. In the more arid north, Thai roofs are a gentler slope, while in the south, roofing is steep and large, to deal with the barrage of heavy rain and wind.\nHowever, there are four main types of roof:\n- Gabled roofs: The traditional roof of Thailand, has a steep concave shape and is mostly found in the central region. It is designed for the short bouts of heavy rain.\n- Hipped roofs: Also known as Panya roofs, these are usually used in palaces or governmental buildings. There is a strong Western influence. The ‘panlom’ or bargeboard rises to a point and denotes importance. See Sanphret Prasat Palace.\n- Hipped-gable roof: Also known as gambrel or Manila roofs, they are commonly used by Thai Muslims in the south. They have a hipped form, with gables halfway up the slope on a couple of sides, to improve ventilation.\n- Double-gable roof: Here two different gables are placed on top of the house to help provide better protection of the structure. See Wat Pho, where there are many examples of double-gabled roofs.\nMaking a Thai Roof with Modern Materials\nIn modern Thai architecture, the traditional Thai house still has a place. Where previously, Thai structures often fitted together without metal nails, using pre-cut holes and grooves, modern structures often use an underlying metal framework. Nails are generally used for ease.\nA layer of traditional Thai wood is used next, to provide bracing. Before a final layer of wooden shingle is used, to give the house a traditional Thai look. Decoration can then be added, according to the taste of the homeowner. Be it modern and slick, or classic Thai architecture.\nThe trip was great. We’ve taken home some ideas we can use for our flat roofs. Although Asian countries deal with different climates to us, it’s still interesting to see how their engineering works. Seeing how other people deal with roofing problems is a great exercise. Although proficient, we believe we are all always learning!", "domain": "geography"}

Toward the beginning of winter, Hudson finished mapping James Bay, which he named after his son. Winter was coming and the crew wanted to return home but Henry Hudson refused. Shortly after, the crew mutinied and took over the ship. Henry Hudson, his son and seven other loyal crew members were abandoned in James Bay in the jolly boat. They were never heard from again. The crew returned to England where one of them told the terrible tale. The crew lived just long enough to be hanged for mutiny.", "domain": "geography"}

Scott Morrison, Prime Minster of Australia that Legendary Entertainment’s feature Godzilla vs Kong and Disney ABC International Television series Reef Break will be filmed in Australia.\nGodzilla vs Kong, scheduled for release in 2020, will be the latest entry in Legendary Entertainment’s successful ‘MonsterVerse’ series of films and will see the two iconic movie monsters going head to head. Godzilla vs Kong, starring Alexander Skarsgard, Rebecca Hall and Kyle Chandler and Ken Watanabe will follow on from the upcoming Godzilla: King of the Monsters (trailer below) and recently released Kong: Skull Island, the latter of which was also shot at Village Roadshow Studios.\nSimilarly, Disney ABC International Television will be filming their big budget 13 episode Reef Break television series, starring Poppy Montgomery on the Gold Coast as well as in Hawaii.\nBoth productions have been attracted to Australia thanks to the Location Incentive Programme.\nThe continued success comes hot off the heels of a number of major productions filming on the Gold Coast such a Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Thor: Ragnorak and includes the soon to be released Aquaman and currently in production Dora the Explorer films.\nThe strong production slate is likely to be further incentivised with the Queensland Government recently announcing a new post, digital and visual effects (PDV) incentive designed to attract high-end post production work to the state. The 10 percent rebate (able to be combined with a 30 percent Federal PDV offset) is expected to attract significant national and international post-production projects. Similar PDV incentives in other states have proved highly successful.", "domain": "geography"}

This platform is unmanned, it is transported to the stratosphere by means of a balloon together with a payload, which is then transported in a controlled manner to the planned destination.\nIt also works well in environments where the temperature is around -60 ° C, so it is very suitable for the stratosphere. After reaching the final height of the balloon, the glider is disconnected and returns to either the starting position or another planned destination by a sliding controlled descent. Of course, it can also be changed during the flight. All using GPS.\nThe devices are integrated into the glider so that they can collect data even at low temperatures and in the event of radiation that could otherwise damage them,\nThe inspiration for the project came during the launch of a stratospheric balloon, the payload of which had to be difficult to find. Thus, the overall process of launching a balloon is time and money consuming.\nThe goal is to efficiently transport payloads from the stratosphere back to earth. The secondary goal is to develop such a transport device that would be functional even in conditions of thin air not only on Earth, but also on Mars, for example.\nIn 2019, a glider with manual control was produced. Landing and stabilization were tested. The test on the balloon was during April – May 2020. We are currently working on avionics and an auxiliary drive to approach the target.", "domain": "geography"}
