Lobster tale defines birth control debate
I sometimes hear someone speak and think, “Wow! That is a really good point.” Sometimes that “wow” factor lasts only for a short time, and other times it plays over and over again in my mind. I have heard one particular point replay consistently for quite some time.
I am Catholic, but I wasn’t truly Catholic for the first 30 or so years of my life. I unfortunately, like most my age, was born in a time where education of the average Catholic greatly lacked. As a 1960s baby, this was also a time of great changes socially with “free love” and the sexual revolution.
During my early years, I gave in to what society and my peers dictated to be the norm. One hundred percent of the time my conscience would remind me of what was good and what was evil. Sometimes I would listen, other times I would not. Those times when I chose not to listen always found a way to create havoc in my life.
Some time ago I listened to our parish priest speak. This homily still plays in my head like a tune set on “repeat.” What could be in a homily that would so capture my attention that I would still think about it a decade or so later? It was simply about a lobster. Yes, a lobster!
Father’s homily paraphrased: If you place a lobster in boiling water, it will fight to get out. If you place the same lobster in cold water and gradually heat, it will not resist. The lobster will allow itself to be boiled to death. Brothers and sisters, WE ARE THE LOBSTER.
My conscience is telling me that I cannot be quiet. If we all sit silent, the fire under the pot will never be extinguished.
I am furious over ObamaCare and the health mandates (Plans 1 and 2) being forced upon the Catholic Church. I am not pleased with the way the media has twisted our First Amendment rights being stomped on as being merely a popularity vote on contraception. I am saddened that many of my Catholic brothers and sisters have been “slowly heated,” as to give in to what the majority of society dictates as moral and thus fueling the fire in this debate.
We are at a crossroads where there is no room for divide. No matter what your faith or political party affiliation, we must stand together to protect the gift our ancestors gave each of us when they crossed the oceans in search of a new land where they could worship God without government interference.

The Latest on Brexit negotiations (all times local):
Germany’s foreign minister says Berlin is willing to continue talks with Britain but is emphasizing the current Brexit agreement is the best one available.
Heiko Maas told the Funke newspaper group Wednesday it is important that British lawmakers have spoken out against a no-agreement departure from the European Union, saying that is in nobody’s interest.
But he called for clarity on how Britain wants to change the so-called “backstop,” the safeguard mechanism proposed to regulate the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland after Brexit.
He says Germany is open to talks, “but our position is clear: the withdrawal agreement is the best and only solution for an orderly exit. Regarding the backstop, Germany and the entire Union are firmly on Ireland’s side. We will not allow Ireland to be isolated on this issue.”
The European Parliament’s chief Brexit official has derided the British political process on Brexit and insisted that the United Kingdom finally needs to get its act together and come with credible proposals on how to leave the European Union.
After Tuesday’s long session at the House of Commons which tasked Prime Minister Theresa May to go back to Brussels and seek a better exit deal, the 27 other EU nations and the European parliament have stood united in stressing that a renegotiation of the withdrawal agreement they clinched with May is out of the question.
Guy Verhofstadt said Wednesday he was getting increasingly frustrated with the political proceedings in London where a strong single voice has yet to emerge.
“What needs to stop is this: an amendment with 10 votes for, then an amendment with 10 votes against, an amendment that barely pulls through, one that fails,” he said of Tuesday’s session, which saw seven Brexit amendments of which two were passed.
“That is no way to build a future relationship with the EU,” Verhofstadt said.
The European Union’s Brexit negotiator says the EU stands united in defense of its divorce deal with Britain, after Prime Minister Theresa won a parliamentary mandate to reopen the agreement.
Michel Barnier said Wednesday that “the EU institutions remain united, and we stand by the agreement that we have negotiated with the U.K., never against the U.K.”
Barnier made his brief remarks after he met top European Parliament officials to discuss the Brexit votes in the British Parliament late Tuesday.
Britain is set to leave the EU in less than two months, but the main sticking point in London to sealing a Brexit agreement is the so-called “backstop.”
It’s aimed at ensuring that no time-consuming customs checks happen on the Irish border after Britain leaves, until a better arrangement is found.

No matter where your travels take you in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states, you aren’t far from some of America’s most iconic attractions. From lighthouses and national monuments to baseball stadiums and locations synonymous with U.S. liberty and freedom, the following are among the most respected.
Portland Head Light and Fort Williams Park
Cape Elizabeth, Maine
The oldest lighthouse in Maine is also one of its most photographed. The Portland Head Light was first lit in 1791 and was the first lighthouse approved after an act of Congress put all of the country’s lighthouses under federal control. The act was signed into law by President George Washington.
The Portland Head Light is on the iconic rocky coastline of Maine. It is owned and managed by the town of Cape Elizabeth and sits along the shores of Fort Williams Park.
“The lighthouse was built because this was one of the busiest ports on the East Coast at the time,” said Jeanne Gross, museum director at the Portland Head Light. “It was really important that ships get safely into harbors to deliver their goods and maintain the safety of the crew on board.”
The base of the tower is original, but the tower was raised and lowered several times between 1791 and 1891, she said. Originally, it was 72 feet tall from its base to its lantern deck and was lit with 16 whale oil lamps. The tower was raised 20 feet by 1865.
“It is still an active lighthouse. It has a directional beacon in the tower, like an airport searchlight,” Gross said. “It is on 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is a white, rotating light.”
Groups love to visit, and though they can’t go up inside the lighthouse itself, they can visit the museum in the old keeper’s quarters. The museum contains a number of lighthouse lenses and interpretive displays.
The museum also presents information about the Portland Head Light and what was going on in history during its long life as a lighthouse.
The Liberty Bell used to reside in Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. As park ranger Adam Duncan said, it is a bell not unlike many other bells. It wasn’t constructed to be the Liberty Bell. It just happened to be in the right building, at the right time and became an international symbol of freedom.
The bell was built in 1776. Its original purpose was to announce the opening of sessions of the Pennsylvania Assembly.
Between 1817 and 1846, a small hairline fracture developed at the lip of the bell and ran all the way up to the area that has Philadelphia stamped into it.
There are many stories about how the bell cracked. One story is that it cracked during John Marshall’s funeral but nobody noticed the crack because the bell was ringing just fine, said Duncan. Eventually, the crack spread, muffling the sound of the bell or causing a buzzing sound instead of “the crisp musical note it was intended to be,” Duncan said.
To restore the bell, the city of Philadelphia did stop-gap drilling, where the insides of the crack were filed down so they would not vibrate against each other and distort the bell’s tone. It was partially successful. The city wanted to ring the bell for Washington’s birthday in 1846. It sounded good at first, but by noon, the crack went through the word Liberty and up through the crown of the bell. The bell didn’t split in half, but it was irreparably damaged.
It was abolitionists, working to end slavery, who gave the Liberty Bell its name, basing it on the Bible verse inscribed on it: “Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.”
Groups can view the Liberty Bell in the Liberty Bell Center, a beautiful museum across from Independence Hall. It is encased in glass, and visitors can view it and artifacts from the 18th century, watch a video, and walk through and read the history of the bell at their own pace.
Statue of Liberty
Lady Liberty has stood in New York Harbor since the 1880s and is one of the most iconic American attractions. About 4.5 million people visit the monument each year, but only about 20% of them can access the statue itself, said Suzanne Mannion, director of public affairs for the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation Inc.
Groups that want to tour Liberty Island and the inside of the statue must make their reservations well ahead of their visit because only a limited number of pedestal access passes are granted daily. If your group is unable to secure pedestal passes, don’t despair. The new 26,000-square-foot museum, which opened in 2019, gives all visitors the opportunity to experience it.
The museum celebrates the story of Lady Liberty and invites guests to “explore how the statue has evolved from a National Monument to a global icon,” Mannion said. That is accomplished through the use of artifacts, including the statue’s original torch, and a film that details why the French gifted the statue to the United States.
The Immersive Theater captivates visitors with a virtual fly-through of the statue, capturing the interior views and sounds of Lady Liberty. The museum gallery uses multimedia to show how the statue’s sculptor, Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, took it from a small plaster model to copper sheets pounded on negative molds to create Lady Liberty’s final form.
The $100 million museum project included island beautification and a secondary security screening facility. Guided tours of the island are not available, but all visitors can take a self-guided audio tour once they arrive.
The Washington Monument was built to honor Washington for his military leadership during the Revolutionary War. The granite obelisk, one of the most famous monuments in Washington, was built between 1848 and 1884 and stands 555 feet tall. The pyramid-shaped capstone at the top takes up 55 of those 555 feet.
Initially, the monument was supposed to be hollow. Visitors would be able to walk inside and gaze all the way up to the top of the obelisk. But as it was being built, the organizers started taking donations from private supporters. In exchange, those supporters were given the opportunity to place an engraved stone in honor of Washington inside the structure.
“It became a bit competitive,” said Mark Ragan, a park ranger with the National Park Service. “They were supposed to be a certain dimension to take the place of a construction granite block. Some are six times that size. They got to be over the top. They accepted them, nonetheless. Some are like bas-relief sculptures, some are gold and silver, some have semi-precious stones, and some are very simple.”
Iron stairs were built all the way up to the base of the pyramidion so that visitors could see the amazing donation blocks on the inside of the structure, and the steam-powered lift used to place the blocks was kept as a way to transport people to the top. The structure is so popular that the number of visitors has far outstripped the capacity of its elevator. The monument was closed for renovation August 17, 2016, and is expected to reopen in August 2019 with a new and improved elevator and security facility.
Tickets to the monument are free but limited. Only about 1,800 tickets are given out daily. Groups should reserve tickets well in advance. Fifteen people at a time can take the elevator up to the top. They can catch the views of the District of Columbia through two windows in the granite and then walk down a flight of stairs to a small museum that tells the story of George Washington and how the monument came to be. They then catch the elevator back down.
Many people don’t realize that Fenway Park, which was built as a baseball stadium in 1912, also played host to three professional football teams: the Boston Redskins, the Boston Yanks and the Boston Patriots. It wasn’t until 1968 that Fenway became the exclusive home of Boston’s legendary baseball team the Boston Red Sox.
The stadium holds 38,805 fans. Groups of 12 or more can either schedule a private tour of Fenway Park or go on one of the 60-minute public tours that are offered daily. Most visitors want to see Pesky’s Pole, the right-field foul pole, so named for Johnny Pesky, a Red Sox player who was never a power hitter but hit a home run that ricocheted off the pole and the Green Monster, the 37-foot-high green wall in left field.
Groups also get the chance to see the Fenway Park Living Museum collection, which has more than 170,000 artifacts related to Fenway Park and the Boston Red Sox, among them items from Red Sox legends Ted Williams, Babe Ruth and Carl Yastrzemski. There are displays along the Fenway Park concourses and in the Nation’s Archives at the Royal Rooters Club.
The Boston Red Sox won nine World Series championships and played in 13 since the baseball franchise was founded in 1901. Their most recent win was in 2018.

TURNING Point UK, a supposed conservative student group has found itself in hot water after defending self-proclaimed communist Ash Sarkar of the far-left Novara Media on Twitter.
The strange move came after a Twitter spat between Sarkar and the prominent right-wing TalkRadio host Mike Graham. After Graham joked about her needing a ‘razor’, Sarkar was clearly triggered, claiming that she was suffering ‘abuse’ and asked whether such mere banter violated TalkRadio’s terms of service (cancel culture, much?).
In light of this, Turning Point UK came on Sarkar’s side, defending her civility with them, and that people like Graham shouldn’t make things ‘personal’. They also quoted former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to boot.
Many criticised the group for this, with one user claiming they were ‘lame’, another calling them ‘grifters’ and another claiming that ‘You don’t disagree with her, you’re ultimately on the same side’. Grifter Watch UK a new right-wing watchdog on Twitter whose main goal is to call ‘out the fakes in right-leaning British politics’) heavily criticised the group as well.
This comes in light of the American emphasis of the group that is headed by Charlie Kirk being similarly criticised for not defending social conservatism, particularly on issues like immigration. This has culminated in the so-called ‘Groyper War’.

Before modern medical lab techniques became available, doctors diagnosed some diseases by smelling a patient's breath. Scientists have been working for years to develop analytical instruments that can mimic this sniff-and-diagnose ability. Now, researchers report that they have identified a unique 'breathprint' for each disease. Using this information, they have designed a device that screens breath samples to classify and diagnose several types of diseases.

The Second Avenue line of New York City’s famed subway system was approved by the city’s Board of Transportation in September 1929. The estimated cost was $100 million. The first leg of this ambitious project was passenger-ready on Jan. 1, 2017. The estimated cost of the whole thing is $17 billion.
This may be the king of all delayed projects -- short of efforts to achieve peace on earth. But as residents of most large cities can tell you, project delays are not exactly big news, even if they are a regular feature in the local press. To be sure, some of these delays are unavoidable. But many are self-inflicted wounds.
Delays in the completion of IT projects, for instance, are a commonality. Take, for example, the new driver’s license and identification technology system at the Kansas Department of Revenue (KDOR). Known as KanLicense, it was slated to be finished by early 2012, but the completion date was shoved back to January 2018. Then an announcement was made that the project was being delayed once again for an uncertain period of time.
Although KDOR representatives were unwilling to comment on the reasons for delays, one local newspaper, The Garden City Telegram, reported that “KanLicense has been rife with difficulties and delays.” A recent legislative audit, which pointed to holdups in building and testing the system, raised red flags about its security. One of the issues with the Kansas project was that its scope continued to change, a surefire way to guarantee a project won’t be completed on time.
A substance abuse pilot program in Virginia, involving the use of medication-assisted treatment for alcoholism, was funded at $100,000 for fiscal 2017. The program lagged behind its apportionment of resources. Only $28,000 was spent that year. A January 2018 report by Virginia’s budget office pointed a finger at the cause. “The delay in hiring of program staff was the biggest challenge for program start up.”
Delays in work on New York City’s parks have been a “source of enormous frustration for the city council,” according to Councilman Mark Levine, who chaired the parks committee for the last four years. For example, it takes up to three years for the parks department to complete construction of a $3 million comfort station. The cause, as Levine sees it, is partially an accumulation of generations of added steps in the procurement process to avoid corruption, get the best prices possible and make sure the contract reflects the city’s diverse population. The requirements, he says, “are all motivated by worthy intentions, but the accumulation is a Rube Goldberg-like flow chart.”
This is not unlike issues with civil service systems, which are established to avoid nepotism and discrimination. They certainly can help avoid these kinds of issues, but when the rules become too difficult to fulfill without delays, there’s an unfortunate trade-off.
Clearly, one of the biggest areas in which delays are epidemic is in governmental procurement. According to Dugan Petty, a senior fellow for the Center for Digital Government at Governing’s parent company, e.Republic, there are a number of reasons for this. Procurements can be slowed by an overabundance of burdensome rules, as with the New York City parks, but there are sometimes even simpler reasons. For instance, with the number of upcoming retirements, Petty says that thinned-out staff “are just not going to be able to run the process at optimal speed.”
Jorge A. Lynch, an internationally known procurement adviser, offers some of the most significant reasons for delayed procurements: lags in preparing technical specifications; failure to start the procurement process on time; extension of bid or proposal submission date; holdups in starting or finishing the evaluation process; and delays in the approval process and in contract negotiation. “The duration of contract negotiations is beyond the control of the procuring entity,” Lynch advises, “so it should be conservatively determined during procurement planning and scheduling.”
Petty sees another solution in “sourcing teams,” which bring all the major players into the effort at the outset of the procurement. Massachusetts has long used the approach. It draws together members from the executive branch, as well as municipalities that use statewide contracts. These groups meet regularly to ensure the contract is running smoothly for the duration of the project.
Curiously, many projects that appear to be missing deadlines may actually be on schedule or moving ahead in reasonable time. They may be victims of a phenomenon called optimism bias. “It’s the risk we face when we assume that something that goes wrong will not go wrong for us,” says Kiron Bondale, a consultant in the project management field. “A lot of decision-makers on projects tend to see the world through rose-colored glasses.”

ESPN 4 to debut new reality show: The Real Royals of Kansas City
Once again, the Kansa City Royals are terrible. The Rays and Nats were bad for a while but were able to stockpile top draft picks and now are great teams. The Royals have not had a winning season since 1924 yet somehow continue to stink every year.
With the Yankees bats struggling, this would be a great time to steal some wins from a team whose best pitcher is Bruce Chen at 3-4.
With ticket sales diminishing and fans preferring to watch BBQ cookoffs, ESPN 4 is preparing to launch a new reality tv series: The Real Royals of Kansas City.
Since no one knows any of the players on the Royals, the cameras instead followed around a group of regular Kansas City residents dressed in royal attire and the shenanigans they got into.
“It’s great fun.” Said one of the producers who gets paid by the number of shows that air so he really wants you to watch. “One guy poured KC Masterpiece in someone’s soda. The look on his face was priceless. Another lady decided to strip in front of a Protestant Church. It’s a friggin great show.”
Each week, one of the Kansas Citians will be kicked off the show. The winner gets a job as a starting pitcher in the Royals rotation.
The show is set to air on ESPN 4 at 3AM.

Massive Disneyland Attraction Database
The Friar Tuck's Explorer Cautionaries attraction, lispingly considered to be the worst wooden attraction at Disneyland
Friar Tuck's Explorer Cautionaries
December 27, 1981
Avg. queue length:
691 Disney units
These stainless-steel cautionaries come complete with a water's-eye view of the dampness around the Rivers of a Temple. It's the most nostalgic way to see the river up close without being attached to some restrictive rail!
- If it's your birthday, animatronic characters might pick on you.
- Instead of dampening this attraction, you might find it pleasant to go on something with less people on it.
- During any weather, this attraction may melt.
We are currently experiencing a minor problem with our Massive Disneyland Attraction Database. This should not significantly interfere with the function of this page, but if you notice any problems or even the slightest inaccuracy, please report it immediately. Thank you for your consideration.

I'm hoping you can help. I first got symptoms when I was 14, told it may be endometriosis in late 20s/early 30s but when pain reduced on pill back-to-back told it wasn't and discharged.
I've now had to come off the pill due to high risk as I'm 42 and the pain is back with a vengeance. My GP referred me for a scan, which showed my ovary is 'stuck down' and endometriosis is again suspected. The pain during menses is pretty chronic - I'm taking mefenamic acid which I take alongside paracetamol. I am also getting daily stabbing pain, deep ache like period pain throughout the month. Symptoms during periods include the above but awful plus headache, leg pain, back pain.... the list goes on. I was also diagnosed with IBS in my early 20s which I'm guessing is caused by Endo having researched the symptoms.
I've been referred to hospital and I've been told I won't get an appointment until February at the earliest. They think I should see an endometriosis specialist (because it says suspected endo in my notes) but can't guarantee.
Have you any tips on whether there's any way to get seen sooner on NHS (as I've been waiting 28 years for diagnosis I'm a little peed off). And also, any tips on managing the pain as it's getting worse each month.

I looked up at the clock and smirked quietly, while watching TV, flipping through channels. The pizza was 30 minutes late. This increased the chances that I would be getting my bread sticks for free. I loved being able to find triumph in disaster. I heard, finally, a tap on my door, and hopped up, knowing it could only be the delivery guy, with an excuse armed and ready. I opened the door, looking at my watch, and looked up from it to find a very lovely, petite brunette, her hair done up in a bun, which was held in place by what reminded me of chopsticks. She looked at me and smiled softly. Being bisexual, I of course, took the time to notice the girls just as much as the guys.
“Sorry I was late hon.. I totally got lost. Geeze.’ she said, handing me cheesy bread sticks. “These are free,” she said.
“Okay.’ I said, holding the breadsticks, and nodding toward the couch. “Umm set ’em down over there, I will get the money.” I said. I walked to the kitchen counter where I had left my wallet, and looked back at her as she put the pizzas down. Her shapely rear was etched into those tight cargo shorts, and her lower back was bared slightly by her small t-shirt. She turned around and I paid her, and she smiled at me, tipping her ball cap-style hat with her company’s logo on it.
“Thank you so much!” she said, noting to herself the four dollar tip. Good for late pizza, at least. She put the money away, and I opened a box. I held up a slice of pizza.
“Want one?” I asked.
“I haven’t been working long, but you are the first person who has ever asked.” she said softly.
“Well, you are more than welcome to have one. You can simply tell your boss you got lost after all. It’s fine, I will cover for you.” I said, wanting to get to know this lovely, youthful girl a bit more. She looked like she was working her way through college or something. She looked at the clock, and then nodded.
“I will just tell them I will skip lunch to make up for it,” she said, leaning down and selecting a slice of pepperoni. She munched on it, standing there, as I helped myself to a slice, looking up at her. She had very generous breasts, and a warm and playful smile. As she ate her pizza, she pulled the slice away, and a chunk of cheese and pepperoni fell right between her breasts, along the low-cut neck of the t-shirt, some sliding into her cleavage. I winced. She giggled and looked down between her breasts.
“Here. I will get you a towel.” I said softly.
“No, no… It’s okay,” she said, picking up the food, and going ahead and eating it. I moved over to her, looking into her eyes. She looked into mine.
“You want to just leave that sauce there?” I asked gently.
“No…” she said. “I just don’t want you to use a towel.” and her gaze fixed on mine. I felt a thrill of surprise run through me as she touched a finger to my lips. “I have half an hour. Make it worth it.” she said, her demeanor changing from a servile pizza delivery girl, to something far more dominant. She removed her shirt, using her fingers to pick off the bits of sauce just barely holding to it, her bra tight against her firm, round breasts. I felt a knot form in my throat. I had certainly not expected this. Finding a guy who is willing to play at the drop of a hat is nothing, but a girl, well that’s a lot more rare. I moved forward, getting her drift, moving my lips between those wonderful mammaries, and beginning to lick slowly, that delicious marinara sauce.
She released a trembling sigh as my tongue glided over her silky skin. I unfastened her bra, and felt myself becoming wet already, but I knew what I wanted. I might not have time for my own pleasure, but I could take care of that after she left. She only had half an hour, so I pulled the bra away, and she continued to eat the pizza, sitting down on my couch. A large string of melted cheese went down right over her breast, hooking over her nipple, making her cry out softly. I immediately leaned forward and suckled her tit, taking the cheese off that rose colored nub, which was so hot, but tasty. She arched her back a bit, and leaned a little harder into the couch. I felt her body tremble a bit under my touch, and I pressed my own breasts together, rubbing them, a little wantonly, but slid down that wonderful body, and unfastened her shorts, sliding them, and her panties down hastily. Just a little time is all I needed. She held her half eaten slice of pizza in the palm of her hand, seeming a bit shocked that I was really taking her up on the offer.
I pressed my lips in tight against her hot mound, and she gasped, her hand reflexively squeezing the slice of pizza to hold on tight, as my tongue darted and flitted over her clit. She looked at her hands, and giggled, and then moaned, as she brought them to her breasts, the slap of pizza sauce on her tits, as I opened my mouth and probed her tart sex deeply with my tongue, was audible over her cry of pleasure in the living room. I looked up, as she smeared the red sauce with thick, slippery sounds all over her breasts, and down her smooth tummy. I pulled away from her sex, to lick up her tummy, as she licked her own hand, panting now, as I pressed two fingers into her, and started pumping them rapidly. I had not played with a woman in a long time. This was fun, and something I needed. I managed to get most of her belly and one of her breasts pretty much clean, before I felt her tighten up suddenly on my pistoning fingers.
“Harder!” she yelled demandingly. I did as she asked, my hand thumping against her mound as I rapidly thrust in and out of her slick folds. I leaned in and suckled the sauce off her nipple, and felt her seize tight, finally, as she bucked against me, crying out positive expletives, and my hand becoming a lot wetter very quickly. I pumped for a while, until she grabbed my hand, making me stop, reeling in her hypersensitivity, as I held her, and licked away the last of the sauce. I found myself thinking, at that moment, as I licked her juices off my fingers, that pizza was about to become my favorite food.

With the unveiling of RS-28 Sarmat, the biggest nuclear weapon the world has ever seen, Russia is flexing its arms again on the U.S. and its allies on the west.
While the U.S. focused on stopping the nuclear weapon programs of North Korea, Russia unveiled its super-nuke weapon capable of wiping out France or Texas recently.
Dubbed as "Satan 2", the RS-28 Sarmat missile is 2,000 times as powerful as the Hiroshima nuclear bomb in 1945. It could deliver a 40-megaton warhead at a speed of 7kps. Its maximum range is up to 10,000 km, a distance farther than Moscow and Vladivostok.
The Russian government also claims that "Satan 2" can travel across to the South Pole to strike any target in South America, bypassing the defense missile systems of the U.S.
Aside from its anti-radar cability, "Satan 2" is said to contain 16 nuclear warheads and can take out 10 different targets in one strike.
Amid series of disagreements with the U.S., the Russian government carried out moves that irked the leaders of the western world. The latest of these rhetoric was Russia's sending its warships at the English Channel early this week.
It seems that Russia is flexing its military muscle again as tensions with the US and its allies broke especially on the handling the issues on Syria.
After "Satan 2" was made public, Russia has declassified the first image of its new thermonuclear intercontinental ballistic missile.
With this new nuclear weapon, America's Cold War rival Russia has given the world a cause of concern.
"Five or six of these 'Satans' as they are known by the US military, and the East Coast of the United States disappears," said Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former assistant secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy.
For his part, Jeffrey Lewis, director of East Asia Nonproliferation Program, described the missile as "very, very large and very much larger than anything in the American arsenal."

The model who rose to fame from participating in Greece’s Next Top Model spoke to ‘Yes I Do‘ magazine.
First, she was asked about the qualities she admires in Mastoras and those that bother her.
“I don’t focus at all on the negative aspects of his character, or to put it more correctly, I can’t think of any. I guess I’m very much in love. But his positives are so many… He’s the most special person I’ve ever met, incredibly giving, and has an endless sense of humour, which means he’s brilliant because, as you know very well, humour and intelligence go together,” she said.
He then mentioned whether he believes in love at first sight. “I never believed in love at first sight until I experienced it! I can say that I don’t fall in love often; that is, I’m not that girl who says ‘I’m in love’ all the time. The one I will fall in love with will be really special, as I confess, I am a very difficult person in this part. Now, falling in love with someone gradually, no, has not happened to me. Either love at first sight or not at all,” she said.
As for jealousy and how she feels about it, she said: “Jealousy, I feel, can destroy any relationship, whether friendly or romantic. It is toxic and acts like a poison. As is the lack of respect between the couple, which is equally destructive. I think I’m calm, or at least that’s what I think about myself. I should be given a reason to react in some way, so if that happens, I won’t make a scene of jealousy. The relationship will end automatically, without drama.”
Finally, regarding the possibility of becoming a mother, she said: “I am in a phase of my life where the thought of motherhood and family comes and goes all the time. Other times, I think that I’m a career woman and maybe it doesn’t suit me to have a family, and others that I would very much like to have children – maybe even three or four – because I love having life in the house, just like I grew up.”

NFL Security Chief: No Threats to Super Bowl Have Surfaced
National Football League Chief Security Officer Cathy Lanier said Wednesday that “no credible or specific threats” have been brought to the league’s attention.
She spoke at a news conference in host city Atlanta alongside the nation’s Homeland Security secretary and state and local law officers.
Outside, low-flying helicopters swooped over the downtown. On the ground, police dogs sniffed visitors to some hotels and other buildings.
The New England Patriots face the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53 on Sunday.
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said that despite the recently ended partial government shutdown, the agency’s employees are committed to keeping the Super Bowl secure.

From the large forest tracts of the Upper Peninsula to expansive wetlands of Lake St. Clair, Michigan is a wonderful and diverse place. As a Michigan landowner, your property fits into the big picture, as it is a single piece of the large jigsaw puzzle of the state. Each land parcel, regardless of size, fits with other pieces to form a neighborhood. The neighborhoods then come together and form an ecosystem. Ecosystems collect to form a regional landscape, and these together, in turn, link the State of Michigan with surrounding states and provinces. It is important to understand this concept because what happens on your property--your individual piece of the puzzle--has an impact on your neighborhood, the local landscape, the regional ecosystem, and ultimately the areas surrounding the state. Therefore, the collective set of management practices on a landscape ultimately determines which communities of species will prosper.
"Ecosystem" refers to the relationship between a community of plants and animals and its living and non-living environment. This relationship includes the rain, sun, wind and elements of the atmosphere; the plants and animals, including people, on the land and in the waters; and the soil, geology and water that occurs on or in the land. Interacting together, these diverse environmental factors form an ecosystem. Each ecosystem can be defined both as an individual, self-contained complex, and as part of larger ecological systems.
Ecosystems can be as small as several square feet around a fallen log in a forest, or as large as the Great Lakes region. Size of the ecosystem is not nearly as important as the interactions within the ecosystem. The bacteria, fungi, and insects on the log help to decompose the log into a soil-enriching humus, which some day will support a new tree. The currents and water temperatures of the Great Lakes will impact the growth and location of invertebrates, which will in turn impact the entire food chain, including people. Again, it is the relationships within the ecosystem, and not its size that defines it.
Ecosystems change over time. Even habitats that have been badly damaged or destroyed may restore themselves, or new habitats may be created instead. Part of the process of habitat creation or restoration is the succession of plant communities. For example, a once-bare crop field left fallow for years will first support annual weeds and flowers. Later, perennial plants invade, followed by shrubs and trees, which some day may make a forest. Natural disturbances may also cause the succession to move backwards, such as a fire returning a forest to bare ground.
As lakes age, over thousands of years, they may fill with sediments and grow warm and shallow. Eventually cattails and other wetland plants may invade, and the lake could become a marsh, or swamp. Someday, it may turn into upland habitat and may later support a forest. Nothing remains static in the world, and that is why the composition of ecosystems are always changing.
Michigan's Four Regional Landscapes
Many observers think of ecosystems as a hierarchical arrangement, where one system fits naturally within another. For example, the rotting log ecosystem may be part of a larger complex of lowland evergreens, embedded in a northern hardwood forest ecosystem, which stretches from Wisconsin to the southern Michigan ecosystem, all of which are modified by the Great Lakes ecosystem. Taken logically to its conclusion, Planet Earth is an ecosystem. There are other ways to look at this fascinating phenomenon, too. Looking at cover types or wildlife habitats, for example, offers another lens through which to view ecosystems on the scale of landscapes. In this way, ecosystems can be wetlands, woodlands, grasslands, brushlands, or farmlands.
Ecosystems also vary geographically. In Michigan, each part of the state is dominated by different landscapes, each of which functions differently, and will respond differently to management. Biologists and ecologists have divided Michigan into four major geographic landscapes: the southern Lower Peninsula, the northern Lower Peninsula, the eastern Upper Peninsula, and the western Upper Peninsula. Below is a brief description of each region to help you understand how your property fits into these bigger pictures.
Southern Lower Peninsula
Southern Michigan is characterized with a warmer climate and a longer growing season than elsewhere in the state. This region receives more precipitation in spring than in fall, with total amounts more variable than other regions of Michigan. The geology of this region is soft limestone covered by glacial deposits. The topography has an elevation of less than 1,200 feet and features low, flat plains with hilly areas in the southwest and also along a line from Hillsdale to Lapeer. Predominant soils include loams and clays in variations of dry or wet environments, and sandy soils near Lake Michigan and near hilly areas.
Prior to European settlement in the southern Lower Peninsula, oak-hickory forest, beech-sugar maple forest, oak-savanna, wetlands, and deciduous swamps were the dominant land types. Today, agriculture, homes, businesses, and roads have replaced most of these original land types. Scattered woodlots remain mainly in areas with moist or wet soils, which are harder to drain and convert to other land uses. In many areas over half of the pre-settlement wetlands have been drained, and a few isolated oak-savannas remain.
Northern Lower Peninsula
Even though the geology of this northern area is similar to southern Michigan, with its soft limestone bedrock covered by glacial deposits, the climate, soils and cover types begin to change north of a line from Muskegon to just north of Bay City. This line marks a transition or "tension zone" that separates the Lower Peninsula into north and south ecosystems. The topography of the northern lower peninsula is mainly hilly with elevations as high as 1,600 feet, but features relatively flat areas in the central portion and along the eastern Lake Huron shoreline. The climate of this region is cooler and more variable than in southern Michigan.
Prior to European settlement in the northern Lower Peninsula, the major cover types were northern hardwoods, oak-pine barrens, pine forests, and conifer swamps. Today, this regional landscape is still covered with forest, although in some areas agriculture and homes have replaced the forest. Also, because of past and present timber harvest methods, there has been a rapid increase in aspen across the region. There has also been a conversion of conifer swamps into swamp brushlands.
Eastern Upper Peninsula
This area is characterized by limestone and dolomite bedrock, which is softer than the underlying deposits of the western Upper Peninsula. The overall flat eastern end is characterized by elevations under 800 feet and climates that are greatly influenced by the Great Lakes. The frost-free period and the growing season are short compared to southern Michigan. Major soil types in this region are wet sands, clays, and organic soils.
Prior to European settlement, the region was covered with northern hardwood forests, conifers, conifer-hardwood swamps, aspen-birch, peatlands, and vast marshes along the Great Lakes. Today, many of the Great Lake marshes have been lost, some forest areas have been converted to agriculture, and areas once supporting mixed pine have been converted to red pine plantations.
Western Upper Peninsula
In the western Upper Peninsula, the underlying hard and erosion-resistant bedrock of granite is responsible for the area's rugged, hilly terrain, which includes the only mountainous area in Michigan. Elevations in the Huron and Porcupine mountains reach more than 1,800 feet. The climate is less influenced by the Great Lakes, as it is impacted more by the inland land bases of Wisconsin and Canada. The winters are very cold due to northern winds that are not buffered by the Great Lakes. Predominate soils in this region include loams, thin loam over bedrock, clay and wet clay. This area receives more precipitation than the eastern Upper Peninsula.
Prior to European settlement, the western Upper Peninsula was dominated by northern hardwood forests, jack pine and red pine-jack pine forests, and shrub and conifer swamps, and bogs. Today, much of this area is still forested, though present timber management methods have reduced the forest diversity.
Looking at Local Landscapes
To understand how your property fits into the landscape as a piece of a puzzle, you must imagine a bigger picture. If you have become familiar with your land by taking inventory during walks (see the chapter on Evaluating the Land in the Habitat Planning section for information), you may already have an understanding of how the pieces of your property fit together. This understanding can be obtained by asking yourself a few questions about the surrounding areas. What is the landscape in your neighborhood, township, and county comprised of? Is it mostly woodlands, grasslands, wetlands, or brushlands? Are certain areas large or small? Are they being farmed, and if so, how?
You can further your understanding of the landscape by observing what species are seen there. The type of wildlife you see in your part of the county is determined by habitats in your local landscape. When traveling to places that surround your property, if you see pheasants, bobolinks, and meadowlarks, the landscape most likely is comprised of grasslands. The presence of ruffed grouse, scarlet tanagers, least flycatchers, or snowshoe hares indicates that landscapes are probably more forested. Agricultural landscapes often support American kestrels, killdeer, and woodchucks. Brushland habitats attract ruffed grouse, indigo buntings, deer, and cottontail rabbits. And in areas where you see ducks, geese, herons, grebes, or kingfishers, the landscape is mostly wetland-related.
The general habitats in your area can provide you with guidance on the types of wildlife you are most likely to attract with habitat projects on your land. For example, if your property is in southeast Newaygo County, the local landscape is comprised of oak forest with a scattering of old fields. Historically, this area was comprised of oak forest, oak-pine forest, and white pine-hardwood forest mixed with prairies. You could manage your woodlands for oak by adopting specific timber-management recommendations. Further, you could manage old fields as tallgrass prairies. These decision might help you to attract deer, wild turkeys, and grassland and woodland birds as well as the rare Karner blue butterfly.
Now that you have an idea how your property fits into the bigger picture, you can also look more critically at the types of habitat on the land next to yours and the parcels that make up the neighborhood. Wildlife species do not understand human or political boundaries such as property lines, roads and counties. By evaluating your neighbors' land and surrounding properties, you can get an idea as to which wildlife habitat components are available and which are missing. In conjunction with the land next to yours, and in the extended neighborhood, you may be able to provide all of the habitat components that are necessary. Perhaps you and your neighbors can manage these shared habitats for a common goal.
In summary, ecosystems involve relationships between plant and animal communities and their environments. For this reason, everything in the natural world is part of an ecosystem. No ecosystem stands alone, as it is part of a larger natural order to which it both contributes and is dependent upon. Learning to look at how your property fits into local neighborhoods, area landscapes, and regional ecosystems will help you to develop wildlife habitat goals that will be successful. By taking such an approach you will be able to more easily attract and benefit wildlife. Understanding and appreciating your part of the big picture will help wildlife on your land and beyond.

An open letter to Stephen King…
Dear Mister King,
Big fan. Love the work. Think you are marvelous and so glad we’ve blessed by your fabulous stories.
But man. What happened to you when you stayed at the Stanley Hotel? I mean The Shining, 1408 and heaven knows what else must have come from what happened there.
And can I just say what took place…as a reader and viewer I’m glad it did.
Thanks for scaring the Hell out of us.
For all those who like a good haunting tale. For all those who enjoy the cuteness, wit, and talent that is John Cusack. And for all who just like to be taken on a great ride and get sucked into a movie for an hour and a half. Look no further. 1408 has arrived. Yes, the latest movie based on a Stephen King short story has hit. And happily it’s a rousing success.
John Cusack’s Mike Enslin is a man who really has wished that he could find something to believe in. But he’s a cynic whose heart was broken by the tragic loss of his daughter, Katie, and the resulting falling apart of his loving marriage. Enslin may be an author who makes his living writing about giving people chills, but inside he has lost all faith and is broken apart.
So when he gets a postcard from the Dolphin Hotel warning not to enter 1408, he sees it as a clever marketing ploy to be written up in his next spooky travel guide. He is even more intrigued when the manager Gerald Olin, played by the always stunning Samuel L. Jackson, refuses to let him stay in the room and goes out of his way to try change Enslin’s mind about having an overnight stay. He offers Enslin several ways to get a story on the room without risk, all of course are rejected immediately. The banter between Enslin and Olin is just priceless. Both are determined and fast-witted as all get out. It is worth the price alone to see these two play off each other. Without mellow drama or a tragic backstory, Olin perfectly sums up what is going on with room 1408 when he drops the gem of a line, “It’s an evil f*!@#ing room.”
Yep it is.
But it also has a wicked sense of humor. Steven King’s tale does for the Carpenters’ sweet song, “We’ve only just begun” what Reservoir Dogs did to “Stuck in the middle with you.” It has claimed the song and made it forever connected in the minds of readers and viewers with the story.
The room practically says “Uht-uht uht” and wags a finger at Enslin when he consults the emergency exit map in the room to devise a manner of getting out. After one failed attempt, he returns to the map and find the only thing listed is 1408 and it is like the rest of the universe outside of it has vanished.
Because Cusack is such a good comedic actor and is best known for his fast paced dialogue delivery in gems like Say Anything, Grosse Pointe Blank and High Fidelity, I don’t think that people have really comprehended just how good Cusack is. Look no further. During the battle with the room he has brief interactions with his wife, his lost daughter and even Olin, but it has almost a feel of a one-man show at times. And you are riveted. Yes, he brings an engaging humor, but Cusack also gives you a man who has felt so much terror that he fears having a complete breakdown. He shows all the grief and love of a father who has lost a beloved daughter to death and a beloved wife to his grief. Finally he turns that corner from fear to almost serenely and coldly fighting back.
I was very moved when Enslin is given a precious moment with his dead child. Here she stands alive again before him, and even his instinct that is it just another trick can’t overcome his heart when his daughter asks him, doesn’t he love her any more?
But I particularly enjoyed the hint of how wonderfully wicked Cusack could be if someone cast him as a bad guy. There is a moment where he manages to communicate with his estranged wife via video chat on his laptop computer and the room takes over projecting an image of him asking for her immediate help and drawing her to the hotel room. When the conversation is over and she exits the chat dialogue screen, Enslin’s chatroom live streaming image that the room is projecting looks right at the real Enslin and gives a delicious, evil wink and grin. Please cast him as a villain NOW people! We are missing out!
Director Mikael Hafstrom achieves both a sense of claustrophobia and an even scarier feeling that the room can basically become a broad encompassing universe. He knows how to rev up the dread and release it. He also doesn’t play to the cheap thrills. This is brilliantly paced and engaging. It is what a great haunting story should be. We are treated to laughs, to screams and a great battle. I now will have to watch Derailed for more than just Clive Owen since it is also done by Hafstrom.
Yeah, 1408…it’s an evil f*!@#ing room, but it’s one also one of the best and most fun movies I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy in a while.

After a couple of weeks of much needed break over Christmas, we were excited to be starting the year afresh with a great experimental project for Koko Krunch. This was our first time to be shooting a full ‘point of view’ digital film and TVC where you will be able to click online whether you want to see the story from the child’s or mum’s point of view.
This shooting required special camera rigging to be made to be worn by the two main talents and as the specially designed helmets were quite heavy to be worn all day, we had to get body doubles for Anisa and Yudetra for shoot day.
We spent the morning chasing the sunrise as always with lots of kids in their school uniforms running around in our outdoor school scene, and were blessed that the sun made an appearance for us during rainy season in Jakarta.
The ever smiling and happy Yudetra was a pleasure to work with as our main talent
All the extras kids getting into position for our morning shoot
Discussing the storyboard shots
Our lovely talent agent, Priti, spent the day as Yudetra’s hand double due to her small frame and super cute hands and she even surprised us still being able to easily fit into an SD school uniform!
Priti getting ready for her first scenes as a body double
Checking the monitor for playback of scenes
Behind The Scenes of the extra kids
Agency checking the monitor preview for scenes
Priti in action shooting
Our next scene was shot inside a school set where the kids drew and coloured in and had fun, while Priti sat in as the talent for the child’s point of view, and had her head swivelled up and down and side to side by Putra while wearing the heavy helmet camera gear.
Preparing for the school scenes
Putra directing and moving Priti’s head like a monopod!
While the shooting was going on outside, the hair and makeup team were having some fun giving Rengga from the talent agency a funny makeover and curling his long locks.
Meanwhile in the make-up room… Rengga getting a makeover..
…and the finishing touch, bright pink lipstick!
Taking ‘family photos’ with Nugie from the Agency and talents
Sweet Anisa preparing to wear the camera for her office scenes
Putra directing and controlling Anisa’s head movements
Bedroom scenes minus the helmet rigging
Anisa and Yudetra doing the product shots
Shooting from a child’s point of view
Two talents for one set of hands!
Overall it was a great day of shooting and we learnt that the full face helmet was far too heavy to wear for long periods of time, and ended up using the lighter helmet and even took it off completely for Yudetra’s scenes, so it was easier for Putra to control while filming.
We look forward to sharing our behind the scenes video and final edited version of the Digital Online film with you shortly.

Fairlawn care home in Ferndown is celebrating being rated ‘Good’ by the care watchdog around a month after welcoming new home manager Veronika Blake.
As well as praising staff at the St Mary’s Road care home, inspectors from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) said they were assured the home is “preventing visitors from catching and spreading infections”, “admitting people safely to the service”, “accessing testing for people using the service and staff” and “making sure infection outbreaks can be effectively prevented or managed”.
In their report, the CQC said Fairlawn was safe and well led, adding: “Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic there have been various restrictions and changes within the home… People and their relatives told us this has been managed well.”
The improved CQC rating follows the appointment of Veronika Blake as the new permanent home manager. She brings years of care experience, previously supporting people living with learning disabilities at Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust.
Veronika said: “Fairlawn is a great place to be, with a homely feel, amazing staff and lovely residents. I believe the key to creating a great care home is being open and communicating with everyone to help build strong, collaborative relationships – be that with residents, relatives, or external health care organisations.”
Aaron Whitehead, Director of Residential Care at Care South, added: “This improved rating is a great reward for the hard work being put in by everyone at Fairlawn, especially given the added pressure of supporting residents and keeping the safe during the pandemic. I would like to thank them all and look forward to a bright future for the care home under Veronika’s leadership.”

Tawang is a town in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, situated at an elevation of approximately 3,048 metres (10,000 ft) to the east of Bhutan. The town once served as the district headquarters of West Kameng district, and became the district headquarters of Tawang district when it was formed from West Kameng.

|• Type||Municipal corporation|
|• Body||Nagar Palika|
|Elevation||2,669 m (8,757 ft)|
|Time zone||UTC+5:30 (IST)|
Tawang was historically part of Tibet inhabited by the Monpa people. The Tawang Monastery was founded by the Merak Lama Lodre Gyatso in 1681 in accordance with the wishes of the 5th Dalai Lama, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, and has an interesting legend surrounding its name, which means "Chosen by Horse". The sixth Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso, was born in Tawang.
The 1914 Simla Accord defined the McMahon Line as the new boundary between British India and Tibet. By this treaty Tibet relinquished several hundred square miles of its territory, including Tawang, to the British, but it was not recognised by China. According to Tsering Shakya, the British records show that the border agreed in 1914 was conditional upon China accepting the Simla Convention. Since the British were unable get China's acceptance, the Tibetans regarded the MacMahon line "invalid". According to Jia Liang, the British did not take possession of Tawang, which continued to be administered by Tibet. When the British botanist Frank Kingdon-Ward crossed the Sela Pass and entered Tawang in 1935 without permission from Tibet, he was briefly arrested. The Tibetan government lodged a formal complaint against Britain. This drew the attention of the British, who re-examined the Indo-Tibetan border and rediscovered that Tibet had ceded Tawang to British India, and attempted to revive the McMahon Line, in November, the British government demanded Tibet to implement the 1914 Simla Accord, this met with rejection from the Tibetan government which rejected the validity of the McMahon Line. Tibet refused to surrender Tawang, partly because of the importance attached to the Tawang Monastery. In 1938 the British made a cautious move to assert sovereignty over Tawang by sending a small military column under Capt. G.S. Lightfoot to Tawang. The invasion was met with strong resistance from the Tibetan government and local people, a serious protest was lodged against the British Indian government.
Lightfoot's brief visit elicited a strong diplomatic protest from Tibet but did not cause any territorial change. After the outbreak of the war between China and Japan in 1941, the government of Assam undertook a number of 'forward policy' measures to tighten their hold on the North East Frontier Agency (NEFA) area, which later became Arunachal Pradesh. In 1944 administrative control was extended over the area of the Tawang tract lying South of the Sela Pass when J.P. Mills set up an Assam Rifles post at Dirang Dzong and sent the Tibetan tax-collectors packing. Tibetan protests were brushed aside. However, no steps were taken to evict the Tibetan from the area North of the pass which contained Tawang town.
The situation continued after India's independence but underwent a decisive change in 1950 when Tibet lost its autonomy and was incorporated into the newly established People's Republic of China. In February 1951, Major Ralengnao 'Bob' Khathing led an Assam Rifles column to Tawang town and took control of the remainder of the Tawang tract from the Tibetans, removing the Tibetan administration. During the Sino-Indian war of 1962, Tawang fell briefly under Chinese control, but China voluntarily withdrew its troops at the end of the war. Tawang again came under Indian administration, but China has not relinquished its claims on most of Arunachal Pradesh including Tawang.
The MLA (August 2016) of Tawang constituency is Tsering Tashi.
The climate is warm and temperate in Tawang. In winter, there is much less rainfall in Tawang than in summer. According to Köppen and Geiger, this climate is classified as Cwb. The average temperature in Tawang is 10.3 °C. The average annual rainfall is 915 mm.

Tawang Monastery was founded by the Mera Lama Lodre Gyatso in accordance to the wishes of the 5th Dalai Lama, Nagwang Lobsang Gyatso. It belongs to the Gelugpa sect and is the largest Buddhist monastery in India. The name Tawang (Tibetan: རྟ་དབང་, Wylie: Rta-dbang) means Horse Chosen. It is said to be the biggest Buddhist monastery in the world outside of Lhasa, Tibet. It is a major holy site for Tibetan Buddhists as it was the birthplace of the sixth Dalai Lama.
When the 14th Dalai Lama fled from Tibet to escape from Chinese army, he crossed into India on 30 March 1959 and spent some days at the Tawang Monastery before reaching Tezpur in Assam on 18 April. Prior to 1959, the Dalai Lama refused to recognize India's sovereignty over South Tibet of China including Tawang. In 2003, the Dalai Lama said that "Arunachal Pradesh was actually part of Tibet". In January 2007, he said that in 1914, both the Tibetan government and Britain recognized the McMahon Line. In 2008, he said that "Arunchal Pradesh was a part of India under the agreement signed by Tibetan and British representatives". The Dalai Lama visited Tawang on 8 November 2009. About 30,000 people, including those from neighbouring Nepal and Bhutan, attended his religious discourse.
The nearest airports are at Salonibari Airport in Tezpur (319 kilometres (198 mi)) and Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, Guwahati. By road, Tawang is 440 kilometres (270 mi) from capital Itanagar and is connected with buses run by APSRTC and private services. The nearest railway station is at Naharlagun, which is connected to major cities. A broad-gauge railway line connecting Missamari in Assam with Tawang has been proposed and a survey for the line was sanctioned in 2011.
Tawang receives snowfall every year during December–January. There is also a ski lift in town. Visitors to Tawang, as is the case with the entire Arunachal Pradesh, require special Inner Line Permit (ILP) issued by the concerned government body and can be obtained from offices based in Kolkata, Guwahati, Tezpur, and New Delhi. Most of the travel from the plains is on a steep hill road journey, crossing Sela Pass at 4,176 metres (13,701 ft). Tourists can travel to Tawang from Tezpur, Assam by road and Tezpur has direct flights from Kolkata. In Oct 2014, a bikweekly helicopter service from Guwahati was started by the Arunachal Pradesh government.

This time of year is always exciting for Susan and me. It’s Springtime, Dodger time (and this year an incredible start for our World Series champions), it’s my birthday month, and it’s when all the buyers come back.
Well, that last statement isn’t exactly true this year. The buyers, or at least potential buyers have been out in force for months, having to endure multiple offers within hours of properties being listed for sale. This has been fueled by incredibly low interest rates and very low inventory of available properties for sale.
Two things have occurred in recent weeks that may be affecting this overheated market. First, interest rates are up a bit (about 0.25% on average-not much at all), and inventory is up slightly (about 4%).
My guess is these facts will not have a dramatic effect on the market. We will continue to see more buyers than sellers, and we can expect prices to continue to rise (up over 10% year to year in Orange County to date).
This is still a great time to be a buyer or a seller (and, I couldn’t help it, also a great time to be a Dodger’s fan)!
