Visit Malacca, Malaysia
Kill me too , you think, as your youngest daughter flings spaghetti onto your shirt while giggling loudly. Your older one seems to have lost his appetite for actual food, and is insisting on having ice cream. The waiter arrives, and comments on how pretty your girl is. Well, maybe you should the next time you visit one of these top romantic spots in Melaka.
Malacca in Peninsular Malaysia is also spelled Melaka and is one of the most interesting parts of the country. Malacca has a varied history, having been colonized by the Portuguese, Dutch, and British, and as such you will find influences from all of these former colonial powers in the food, architecture, and even the language. The city also has a large Chinese community known as Peranakan or Straits Chinese which has led to the Nonya culture which is a mix of Malay and Chinese influences that has even spawned a completely unique cuisine in the form of delicious Nonya dishes.
As well as food, you can expect a huge number of cultural attractions in Malacca, and considering its size it has a wide variety of engaging museums which will be a treat for any history buffs wanting to know more about the area. This is also a strategically important part of the country that sits on a graceful river, and one of the highlights of a trip here is a scenic river cruise that allows you to take in all the delights of Malacca while enjoying the breeze over the water.
All in all, Malacca offers a serene yet fascinating glimpse into the history of Malaysia and is a top spot for anyone looking to explore a different side of the country away from big cities like Kuala Lumpur. Cheng Hoon Teng Chinese Temple has the claim to fame of being the oldest Chinese temple of its kind in Malaysia and dates from the 17th century.
The temple is an important place of worship for the Buddhist Chinese community in Malacca and a visit here is a great way to learn more about their culture and history. Make sure to check out the inscription that dates from and which is dedicated to Kapitan Li Wei King as well as the statue of Guanyin who is the Goddess of Compassion. It is hard not to notice Taming Sari Revolving Tower when you are in Malacca as it soars to a height of meters and can seat 66 passengers at one time.
The ride in the tower takes around 7 minutes to complete as you will ascend and then get to spend 5 minutes at the top taking in the views over the city before descending again. From the tower you can take in panoramic vistas across the city which stretch all the way to the coast.

There are so many activities in Melaka, however, we have narrowed it down to our 10 favourite in the city. Probably the most iconic attraction in Melaka is the Dutch Windmill Square otherwise known as the red square. If you wish to get a photo without crowds, it is necessary to arrive early in the morning.
The rickshaws in Melaka are essentially colourful bicycle powered tuk tuks with different themes. Jonker Street is the iconic shopping street in Malacca and also home to the iconic heritage houses.

The Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Committee said that 32 Palestinian female prisoners are languishing in the Israeli occupation prisons, including 9 mothers.
The Committee added in a press statement on Monday that the prisoner, Shorouk Dwaiyat, 24, is in Damoun Prison, where she was arrested on October 7, 2015, the moment she was shot by live bullets by a colonial settler on Al-Wad Street, near the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The occupation authorities had previously sentenced the female prisoner Dwaiyat to 16 years in Israeli occupation prison, in addition to a fine of 80,000 shekels.
In this context, the detainee, Khitam Saafin, 58, from Ramallah, is still being held in Damoun prison, after the occupation forces issued an administrative ruling against her for four months, but the occupation forces turned her file into a case.
Al-Sa'afin was arrested on November 2, 2020.
It is noteworthy that Al-Saafin is married and has a son and two daughters. She is active in feminist union work. She chaired the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees in 2010. She is a member of the General Secretariat of the General Union of Palestinian Women, a member of the Regional Alliance of Women Defenders in the Middle East and North Africa, and Deputy Head of the Secretariat of the World March of Women and a member of the General Authority of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees.Source : Safa

I have just finished wading through “The Namesake” written by Jhumpa Lahiri. “Wading” is the word I use because, though Lahiri is an engaging writer, she fills her novel with too many details, over which I stumble, ponder, wonder (hmm, now why would she have had to say that?), genuflect, and then straighten myself. Her paragraphs are uniformly half a page and in that, too, these inconsequential details of everyday life, some cultural vestiges lie around like stumbling blocks.
I am constrained to mention this here because the flow is hampered, I lose track, and finishing the book was a great effort. I don’t like to be exhausted reading a book; I like to be entertained. I guess this applies to most writers of the Diaspora and, our own homegrown variety. We are so much anxious to impress with our knowledge and our articulation that we overdo it, consistently, constantly.
Now, I may be veering into the rant mode but this is something Lahiri does through this excellent novel. If you are through the first hundred pages, it becomes a little better. You can safely ignore the details and go ahead, come what may. But getting over the first hundred pages is the toughest part. When Lahiri describes each item in a house, or, a rented hotel room, you have no alternative but to sit up and cry, “Whoa! She is so perceptive, she gives me a complex.” Yes, she does, to all pretenders, such as I, who think they can write. But one also thinks, “There she goes, why would she include all that? Is it significant, a leit motif, for the rest of the story?” But disappointingly it isn’t.
It’s the story of Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli. Ashoke is told to leave the country by a man he meets during a train journey. The train in which he is traveling is derailed in the night and the compartments are smashed and thrown off the rails. Ashoke is injured in the accident but has a providential escape because he happens to be clutching a novel written by Nikolai Gogol which he was reading at the time of the mishap. So, obviously, Nikolai Gogol has a prominent part to play in Ashoke’s survival and he names his first-born Gogol, probably to record his thanks to the Russian story teller.
He immigrates to the United States with Ashima, gets a job raises a family of two. Gogol and Sonia are the two children he raises the Indian, sorry, Bengali way, protectively, always apprehensive, always paranoid about security. The children are happy-go-lucky American kids and they do not know from where their parents’ fear comes from. (They do not know that the fear originates from India where anything left untended is summarily snatched away, or vandalized.)
But Gogol resents being named thus, and is not flattered by his Russian name, that too of a writer thought to be a maniacal genius. He militates against his father’s choice of nomenclature. He has his name changed to Nikhil but the original name sticks to him like a ghost from the past, and haunts him. The teaching of Gogol’s writings in school is a big embarrassment to him, and he cowers from any association with Gogol, the writer.
Ashoke and Ashima does a heroic job of raising a family, protecting a culture in an alien land, in which they are recently emigrated strangers. They have a very close-knit community of Bengali friends in the US and their interaction is restricted to this group who meet for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and other social dos. The urge is very strong among migrants to maintain their cultural identity when they are in an alien land, and Ashoke and Ashima would like to pass on their Indian-ness to their children.
But the children are drawn towards the mainstream White culture. Gogol has affairs with white girls/women and nearly marries one much against the wishes of his parents. The Indian girl he marries eventually, through the persuasion of his mother Ashima jilts him for a Russian. Sonia marries a white man, and therefore Ashoke’s and Ashima’s dream of propagating the culture they have so assiduously cultivated in an alien land collapses. So, in that sense, the emigrant’s strict phobias seems trivial and unfounded.
The most poignant part of the novel is the sudden and unannounced death of Ashoke. Now, this is the best part of the novel. It is narrated in such deadpan prose that it rings so true, so authentic and life-like. Death is the most unexpected of visitors. The reader is shocked beyond disbelief, and can understand the emotional turmoil that Ashima, and her children Gogol and Sonia go through at this juncture. It is to Lahiri’s credit that she has handled this evolving drama pretty well.
Gogol falls in love with Moushumi, the girl his mother has picked for him, and who is trying to get over a broken engagement with her White boyfriend. They marry, and for sometime all is hunky dory. This section of the novel is well handled and the reader is shocked that Moushumi would go off with another man, a Russian professor, leaving poor Gogol. But that is life, and that is literature, so authentic as to be stupefying. Lahiri handles these passages really well, one is awed how naturally it happens, and how her story lends the incident so much life-like uncertainty. This is Lahiri at her best, delivering a deadly punch in the narrative when the reader least expects it. This is as shocking, or, was as shocking to me, as was Ashoke’s death.
The novel is a chiaroscuro of images, experiences, some sad, some elevating, all written in the author’s perspicacious style, with much detailing. Much as I had enjoyed “The Interpreter of Maladies” I relished this one that promises to be a watermark in the annals of literature produced by the Diaspora.

Caves in Context: the Place of Caves in Middle Bronze Age Southern Lazio, Italy
A research project of the Department of Archaeology.
Our research project seeks to challenge two established traditions of archaeological research in Italy. The first is cave archaeology. Here, caves have often been studied in isolation, especially as sources of stratified artefacts used to refine traditional typological and relative-chronological frameworks. They have also been interpreted through rather simplistic models – for example, as shelters for herders and hunters or as places for the performance of rituals – with relatively limited consideration of the diversity of caves and of the people who actually used and modified them. The second research tradition is the archaeology of the Middle Bronze Age. Here, central Italy has tended to be portrayed – due to a lack of systematic research in the region – as the ‘poor relation’ compared to the archaeology of the Middle Bronze Age in northern and southern Italy. Our research on the place of caves in Middle Bronze Age southern Lazio has the potential to transform both traditions.
Related to these ambitions, our project has five interconnected aims:
1. To achieve a new understanding of the human use of caves in the past, by considering them in context, over space and time, and through the application of cutting-edge scientific analyses to their archaeological remains;
2. To redefine the character of the Middle Bronze Age in central Italy, as distinct from the Middle Bronze Age in northern Italy (characterised by ‘terramare’ sites) and in southern Italy (characterised by defended coastal sites);
3. To establish a new model for future archaeological research and heritage management in Italy, by undertaking a truly collaborative, outward-looking research project;
4. To contribute to the economic development of the tourist-caves of Pastena and Collepardo in the province of Frosinone, by significantly enhancing the scientific and public value of their heritage assets;
5. To publicize the significance of the archaeological and natural heritage of southern Lazio to a wide variety of local, regional and international audiences.
Our research is focused on the archaeology of the Middle Bronze Age within the catchment area of the River Sacco in the province of Frosinone in southern Lazio.
Our plan is to compare and contrast three major Middle Bronze Age sites: two large caves whose spectacular natural features today attract large numbers of tourists – Grotta del Pertuso (in the Comune of Pastena) and Grotta Regina Margherita (in the Comune of Collepardo); and a little-known settlement site situated on the prominent hilltop of Monte Castellone (in the Comune of Monte S. Giovanni Campano). Preliminary excavations at both cave sites have confirmed that each has rich, intact mortuary deposits, while surface survey at the settlement site suggests that surviving archaeological deposits here (including some potentially ancient terraces) are worthy of closer investigation.
As our project progresses, the archaeological remains from these three sites will also be placed in the context of other Middle Bronze Age sites and remains found in territories of the three respective Communes, through detailed archival research and carefully targeted landscape and cave survey.
Our project seeks to undertake archaeological research in a new way: one that is characterised by well-integrated collaboration.
Dott.ssa Micaela Angle of the Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici del Lazio holds overall responsibility for the project.
She is joined by two directors of the scientific research: Prof. Mario Rolfo of the Università di Roma ‘Tor Vergata’, who is directing the work at Pastena; and Dr. Robin Skeates of the Department of Archaeology, Durham University, who is directing the work at Collepardo and Monte Castellone, assisted by Dottssa. Daniela Mancini and Dottssa. Letizia Silvestri.
Together, they are working closely with the Consorzio per la Conservazione e Valorizzazione del Patrimonio Speleologico delle Grotte di Pastena e Collepardo, and with the Communes of Pastena e di Collepardo.
Our project is generously supported by The British Academy, the Prehistoric Society and the British Cave Research Association.

Are you hoping for a better night's sleep? Looking to upgrade your mattress? Before you do, there a few things you should know.
Firstly, are you aware that most mattresses sold on the Australian market are made from petroleum-based polyurethane, and are treated with potentially lethal flame retardants?
Even a mattress that is ten years old can still off-gas. That is, release toxic Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that you then breathe in.
Many flame retardant chemicals have been linked to serious health risks, such as hormone disruptions, infertility, birth defects, neuro-developmental delays, cancer, reduced IQ and behavioural problems in children. This study showed that both prenatal and childhood exposures to the flame retardant chemical PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ether) were associated with poorer attention, fine motor coordination, and cognition in school-age children.
Recent research suggests that these chemicals are also poisoning our pets and wildlife.
Here are our 3 top tips when it comes to ensuring a peaceful, chemical-free sleep
1. Ask for materials that are free from harmful flame-retardants
Search online, ask questions and check the manufacturing specs before purchasing your new mattress. Find out what safer options are available.
Also watch out for stain and/or water-resistant products, as these tend to contain perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are also toxic to human health and best avoided.
2. Opt for natural fibres for your new mattress
Wool is one material that naturally repels fire. Some organic wool brands also avoid pesticides. Non-toxic and anti-microbial latex mattresses are also great options. Certified organic latex mattresses do not contain any chemicals, synthetics, pesticides, herbicides or other man made products.
3. Update your bed linen
Aside from your mattress, overhauling your bed linen could make all the difference to getting a good, restful sleep.
Natural fibres such as cotton or hemp that breathe, contribute to a better sleep as moisture is wicked off the skin. By contrast, synthetic materials such as polyester are less hygienic as they trap moisture and allow microbes and dust mites to flourish.
Once you’ve settled on a natural fibre, look for an organic option if you can. Unfortunately if pesticides have been used to grow the crop, they often stay within the fibres, meaning you could be breathing them in during your sleep. Non-organic cotton for example often retains pesticides along with cotton smoothing agents (containing formaldehyde) in the final product.
When it comes to pillows and quilts it’s worth looking into eucalyptus, buckwheat, tea tree or corn-fibre. There’s also newer fibre called kapok (also known as Java cotton) which is made from the pods of the kapok tree. It is light, naturally repels mites and bacteria, and is usually grown organically.
Can’t afford a new mattress?
Don’t worry, we have a solution for you too. Cover your current one with a non-toxic mattress protector that is at least 2.5cm thick. This will prevent you from breathing in those nasty chemicals.
Here’s hoping your next sleep is a healthy, comfortable, peaceful and chemical-free one. Sweet dreams!


David Falco Jr. entered the postseason after two of his best outings this season — appearances in which he combined for 4 ⅔ scoreless innings.
He was called upon again in Maryland baseball’s 3-2 win against Michigan State in the first round of the Big Ten tournament Tuesday, this time in a tie game in the seventh inning.
Falco tossed a hitless 1 ⅔ between the seventh and eighth innings to give the Terps a chance to break that deadlock — which they did courtesy of a Luke Shliger RBI double.
In the ninth, the reliever struck out a pair and sent the Michigan State lineup down in order to complete the win and his third consecutive scoreless outing of at least two innings.
Falco’s appearance capped 8 ⅓ innings of one-run pitching from the Maryland bullpen, a unit that struggled at times in the regular season but was largely responsible for the opening round victory.
Maryland, which won just one game in last year’s Big Ten tournament, will play either fourth-seeded Nebraksa or fifth-seeded Rutgers in the second round Thursday.
Kenny Lippman was the first entrant for Kyle McCoy, who threw just 15 pitches and recorded a mere two outs. Lippman gained experience pitching in bulk relief and being used as a spot starter throughout the regular season, a quality Rob Vaughn relied on in his team’s first postseason contest.
The right-hander walked five Spartans and faced frequent traffic on the basepaths but often used ground balls to escape those jams. Lippman ended each of the second, third and fourth innings with double plays. That helped keep his pitch count low despite throwing just 32 of his 56 pitches for strikes.
Andrew Johnson and Nigel Belgrave combined for scoreless fifth and sixth frames. Belgrave allowed a leadoff triple that later reached home to even the score in the seventh before Falco entered and closed out the win.
Maryland’s pitching prowess made up for a mostly sluggish offense. After scoring two in the first inning with sacrifice flies from Nick Lorusso and Ian Petrutz, the Terps didn’t push another run across until the penultimate inning.
Jacob Orr singled and eventually reached third as the lineup turned over. Shliger, who’s held down the leadoff spot for two seasons, slugged his second double of the night to push Orr to the plate as the winning run.
The narrow victory came despite McCoy’s abbreviated outing. His velocity was lower than it usually is in his first start in three weeks, Vaughn said on the Big Ten Network broadcast, which prompted the freshman’s exit that forced the bullpen into difficult circumstances.
Tuesday presented an opportunity for McCoy to make his first appearance since May 6 and perhaps rediscover the form that made him an effective hurler midway through his debut season. Instead, he left far earlier than anticipated.
That could end up being a blessing — being used sparingly in the Terps’ win could allow McCoy to pitch again if Maryland makes a deep Big Ten tournament run.
The chances of a run like that occurring grew larger with an opening-round victory. Staying in the winner’s bracket and avoiding playing more games than necessary is crucial if the Terps aim to move past last year’s early exit in the conference tournament, Vaughn said Monday.
Tuesday’s win proved that, despite an underwhelming regular season, Maryland’s pitchers can lead it to a successful conference tournament showing.

Julia Greeley was a familiar sight on the streets of Denver in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Wearing a floppy hat, oversized shoes, and dabbing her bad eye with a handkerchief, Greeley was often seen pulling her red wagon of goods to deliver to the poor and homeless of the city. She had a particularly special devotion to the Sacred Heart, and would deliver images and information about the icon to firefighters throughout Denver every month.
Her charitable work earned her the title of a "one-person St. Vincent de Paul Society" from one writer, and has made her the local model of mercy for the Jubilee Year of Mercy.
Born a slave in Hannibal, Missouri sometime between 1833 and 1848, Greeley endured some horrific treatment — once, a whip caught her right eye and destroyed it as a slave master beat Greeley’s mother.
One of many slaves freed by Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, Greeley’s work with the family of William Gilpin, Colorado’s first territorial governor, brought her to Denver in 1878.
After leaving the Gilpins' service, Greeley found odd jobs around the city, and came upon the Sacred Heart Parish of Denver, where she would convert to Catholicism in 1880. She was an enthusiastic parishioner, a daily communicant, and became an active member of the Secular Franciscan Order starting in 1901. The Jesuit priests at her parish recognized her as the most fervent promoter of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Despite her own poverty, Greeley spent much of her time collecting food, clothing and other goods for the poor. She would often do her work at night, so as to avoid embarrassing the people she was assisting.
“She stood out because of how extraordinary she was,” David Uebbing, chancellor of the Archdiocese of Denver, told the Denver Catholic.
“Even though she was only earning $10 to $12 a month cleaning and cooking, she was using it to help other people who were poor,” he said.
“That spoke volumes about the charitable heart she had. In addition, she had great devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and was known for walking (monthly) to 20 different firehouses to give (felt) badges of the Sacred Heart and tracts to firemen. That brings to life the corporal and spiritual works of mercy this holy year is dedicated to.”
Julia Greeley died on June 7, 1918 - the Feast of the Sacred Heart. Although her death came unexpectedly, she was able to receive last rites. It is estimated that she was around 80 years old, though because she was born into slavery, her exact age was never known.
After her death, her body lay in state in a Catholic parish for five hours, during which a constant stream of people came to pay their last respects to the well-known, well-loved woman.
Although only one known photograph exists of Greeley, holding a child she cared for at the time, the Archdiocese of Denver has commissioned an icon be made of her.
Iconographer Vivian Imbruglia of California has been chosen to write the image on wood covered in linen, which will include symbols of her life such as the Rocky Mountains, her red wagon, a child, a firehouse and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
A documentary about Greeley, based on the book In Secret Service of the Sacred Heart: The Life and Virtues of Julia Greeley, was also produced by the Archdiocese of Denver for the year of Mercy.
Mary Leisring, president of the Julia Greeley Guild, told Denver Catholic that she was happy about the recognition Greeley was receiving during the Year of Mercy.
“We had a saint walking the streets of Denver, yet very few people know about her.”

The most commonly used AAS in medicine are testosterone and its various esters (but most commonly testosterone undecanoate , testosterone enanthate , testosterone cypionate , and testosterone propionate ),  nandrolone esters (most commonly nandrolone decanoate and nandrolone phenylpropionate ), stanozolol , and metandienone (methandrostenolone).  Others also available and used commonly but to a lesser extent include methyltestosterone , oxandrolone , mesterolone , and oxymetholone , as well as drostanolone propionate , metenolone (methylandrostenolone), and fluoxymesterone .  Dihydrotestosterone (DHT; androstanolone, stanolone) and its esters are also notable, although they are not widely used in medicine.  Boldenone undecylenate and trenbolone acetate are used in veterinary medicine .
Though many continue to eat healthy, the contestant that desires to bulk up by any means necessary and still have the intake of calories turn to muscle with little effort takes pride in the job done by Timorel. Some claim that it takes effect the moment it hits the system, with continued impact weeks after going off the cycle. Even though excessive catabolic processes affecting the muscles directly, taking a combination of supplements like Anavar along with Timorel has a great effect, adding the bulk and cutting away from it almost simultaneously.

The Best Part of Not Getting What You Want
And then… I didn’t get it. I didn’t get what I wanted. Things didn’t go the way I had planned.
And so it hurt. There was mental pain. And even physical pain, it seemed, in my chest. It ached, it burned. Reality wasn’t lining up with my plan. It was like two pictures were suddenly superimposed and didn’t match. In fact they clashed painfully.
Being fresh out of a month-long retreat (where I had plenty of time — when I was distracting myself from meditation — to dream up this fantastical idea), being fresh out of a month of deep immersion in Buddhist philosophy, I saw this as my first significant post-retreat opportunity to practise in the “real world.”
I knew on an intellectual level that getting or not getting didn’t lead to any lasting happiness — that in the grand scheme, it didn’t really change my lifetime happiness levels. But boy does it sometimes take some inner work to truly realize this.
It’s always humbling (and not at all annoying) to follow the flowery advice I had given out so many times. A deep sigh, and
I began to examine.
What is the thing that I want, really? What are its qualities? Why do I want it so much? What did I think would happen when I actually got it?
I reviewed objects desired and successfully obtained in the past. I recalled that possessing them in fact brought no true lasting satisfaction and that after a brief high, soon there was a new object of desire. Soon, the chase was on again, for something different, something new…
This illustrates so clearly that the object itself is never the source of true happiness. Any idea of a dual world, where we need to obtain or avoid things to be happy is a complete delusion, and only leads to suffering and more empty chasing. I think we all know this on some level, but the delusion is so damn convincing, that we keep buying into it, keep getting tricked into the chase and the imaginary carrot dangling ahead, that inevitably disappears soon after we reach it. It doesn’t help that at every turn, we are being encouraged to engage in this drama. That the entire framework of our society seems to depend on it.
Yet with this wisdom and understanding, the chase loses its stinging intensity. I still have desire and longing. I still reach for things. But it’s not like it was before. The desire is softer, the plan and the pursuit is a lot lighter, and it doesn’t hurt so much when it doesn’t work out. And maybe true, lasting happiness and deep, unshakable peace arise when desire and its stories dissolve. When the chase slows down, from a manic, desperate sprint, to a soft trot, and eventually, stillness. When we realize we don’t need anything and that we are already complete, whole.
That. That is the best part of not getting what you want.

Peter Tristram ... "It is an interesting story regarding these two 'species'. Basically anything sold in the US as leonamiana we tend to grow as recurvifolia v subsecundifolia.
The Americans registered their hybrids parenting leonamiana. All very confusing.
In Germany I have obtained two very different plants as leonamiana. One, from Holm, looks like recurvifolia v subsecundifolia but with pinkish bracts and blue flowers and the other, from Lotte, looks more like stricta with speckled bluish flowers. Lotte's plants vary a bit so I assume they are seed-grown and are referenced to A. Blass Linz 5/1997, her code 810. I am sure the bract colours of both plants would intensify if grown in more direct light - these have been grown in my white plastic Till tunnel."

Never Say Cancelled! DC Universe Presents #0 Revives Blackhawks, Hawk and Dove, Mister Terrific and O.M.A.C
Rob Liefeld already told us that Hawk & Dove would return in DC Universe Presents. But not that they would be joined by a number of other characters from the first wave of cancelled titles – or indeed their creative teams.
But the DC Universe Presents #0 for DC's Zero Month gives us five stories, each showing origin/early stories of characters from cancelled books, namely Mother Machine from Blackhawks, Hawk And Dove, Mister Terrific and OMAC. And will continue into other New 52 books.
One is missing… Static perhaps? Or something brand new?
The stories are written by Tony Bedard, James Robinson, Rob Liefeld and Dan DiDio, and drawn by CAFU, Marat Mychaels, Tom Derenick, Eric Battle and more.
Looks like Dan DiDio's promise than cancelled characters would live on in other books is coming to fruition, and under his own hand no less.
So… what news Voodoo and Blue Beetle?

Home Pregnancy Test – The Technique
Home pregnancy test is known to be one of the most reliable methods to check pregnancy. It works towards measuring the precise levels of HCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) in your urine.
What is HCG?
HCG is a glycoprotein hormone. It is produced during pregnancy. The level of HCG level is different in blood and urine. Hence, it is important to conduct this test early morning.
The Test Tip
It is recommended to conduct test from your first morning urine. This is not essential. However, it is recommended for perfection.
How the test works?
It measures 25-30 MIUs of HCG. The amount is found in urine during 4th or 5th week of pregnancy. Hence, performing pregnancy test at an early stage may not give you accurate results.
When to test?
It is advised to use home pregnancy test kit after a few days of your missing period.
What to do?
• Keep you test kit in room temperature before you use it.
• Collect urine in a clean, dry glass or plastic container.
• Now take out the kit and place it on a flat surface.
• Use dropper to draw out a little urine (provided with the kit).
• Put two drops in the circular test well (marked ‘S’). Avoid spilling on reading strip.
• Now wait for five minutes (read manufacturer’s instructions).
• Read the test results.
• Carefully look at the regions marked ‘C’ and ‘T’ on the test card.
• If you see only one pink/purple band, in the region marked ‘C’, the test is negative for pregnancy.
• If two pink/purple bands appear, (on ‘C’ and ‘T’), it means that the test is positive for pregnancy.


Between 24 to 28 October I went to Doñana National Park in southern Spain to meet Antonio Rivas of the Iberian lynx Ex-situ Conservation Programme El Acebuche and Guillermo Lopez from the Lynx Life project. Both projects are fundamental in saving the Iberian lynx.
Just ten years ago, in 2002, it was estimated that there were only 150 individuals left of the Iberian lynx, which made it the most endangered cat species in the world. These 150 individuals were spread out in two separate populations, one in Sierra Morena and the other in Doñana National Park.
Working intesively with bringing the population up by removing threats such as snares, dangers in traffic and bringing the rabbit population up, the teams also work with genetic reinforcement and reintroduction and by today 17 Iberian lynxes have been reintroduced into the wild from the breeding programme.
One day we climbed up a fire watch tower and got a spectacular view of Doñana Natural Park, which acts as a buffer zone to the national park.
I was not lucky enough to see an Iberian lynx in the wild but the knowledge that they are there is enough.

cellanea, the first part of which was published in 1672, include two Essays on Ancient and Modern Learning and on Poetry, which exhibit the critical acumen of the author to great advantage, being written in a popular manner, and with the accompanyment of a most fascinating style. The treatises too in the same volume on Heroic Virtue and Gardening, are full of research, and combine a great portion of entertainment, with innumerable instances of the author's goodness of heart, and general refinement of taste.
In 1675, EDWARD PHILLIPS published his “ Theatrum Poetarum, or a complete Collection of the Poets, especially the most eminent of all Ages, the Ancients distinguish't from the Moderns in their several Alphabets. With some Observations and Reflections upon many of them, particularly those of our own nation. Together with a Prefatory Discourse of the Poets and Poetry in general.”
It has generally been supposed, and upon no slight foundation, that Milton gave Phillips, who was his nephew, much assistance on this occasion. The internal evidence arising from the book is certainly in favour of the idea, as many of the criticisms exactly correspond with what we know to have been the peculiar opinions of the great poet, “There is good reason to suppose," saya a very learned and competent judge, “that Milton threw many additions and corrections into the THEATRUM POETARUM. - It contains criticisms far above the taste of that period: among these is the following judgment on Shakspeare, which was not then, I believe, the general opinion, and which perfectly coincides both with the sentiments and words of Milton in L'Allegro,
“ Or sweetest Shakspeare, Fancy's child,
Warble his native wood-notes wild.” “In tragedy, never any expressed a more lofty and tragic height; never any represented nature more purely to the life: and where the polishments of art are most wanting, as probably his learning was not extraordinary, he pleases with a certain wild and native elegance *."
And in the History of English Poetry, speaking of the same book, he further remarks, “Such criticisms were not common after the national taste had been just corrupted by the false and capricious refinements of the court of Charles the Second t."
The Preface of Phillips more particularly seems to breathe the spirit and sentiments of Milton, and is written in a strain of peculiar eloquence and taste.
* Warton's Milton, 2d edition, p. 64. + Vol. iii. p. 410.
Of the critic whom we have next to produce, though the learning and research may be praised, the want of candour and of judgment is so notorious, that few now can consult his works on ele. gant literature without absolute disgust. RYMER, though a good antiquary, and well acquainted with the history and progress of poetry, both in this and other nations, seems to have been utterly deficient in sensibility and taste; and his abuse of Beaumont, Fletcher, and Shakspeare, is unquaJified, unjust, and gross in the extreme. Through his pieces, however, are dispersed some acute observations, and much historical information. They are entitled “ The Tragedies of the last Age, considered and examined by the Practice of the Ancients, and by the common Sense of all Ages. In a letter to Fleetwood Shepherd, Esq. London, 1678,” and “ A short View of Tragedy ; its original Excellency and Corruption. With some Reflections on Shakspeare, and other Practitioners for the Stage. London, 1693.”
It is not denied, that these productions were of service to the art which they professed to improve. They familiarized, in some degree, the opinions of the ancient critics, and they excited the at. tention of superior minds. Dryden wrote some very valuable remarks on Rymer's first Essay ; and the “Short View of Tragedy" merits notice
for its historical matter. The lovers of Shake speare, however, who are now as numerous as his readers, must execrate, and justly, the critic who has termed Othello bloody farce, with: out salt or savour ;” and who has declared, that “ in the neighing of an horse, or in the growling of a mastiff, there is a meaning, there is as lively expression, and, may I say, more humanity, than many
times in the tragical flights of Shakspeare *. Dr. William Worton, in 1694, published his " Reflections upon Ancient and Modern Learning," in which he opposes many of the opinions of Temple, though with temper and modesty. This work displays a considerable portion of erudition, and much critical knowledge, and, by inci. dentally exciting a long continued and well sup. ported controversy, proved of essential service to general literature and criticism.
A very elaborate commentary on Paradise Lost was, in 1695, given to the public by PATRICK HUME, a Scotchman. This
be considered as the first attempt to illustrate an English classic by copious and continued notes; an example which has been followed in the last and present century, with regard to Shakspeare, on a very extended scale. The notes of Hume, though too often pedantic, heavy, and trifling, are not unfre. quently replete with entertainment and illustration ; and to them, as Warton has justly observed, succeeding commentators “ have been often am. ply indebted, without even the most distant hint of acknowledgment *.”
* A short View of Tragedy, p. 95, 96, 146.
The year 1096 brought forward the first effort of JOHN DENNIS in critical literature; “ in which,” observes the Biographia Britannica, “ he so frequently exerted himself, that he came to be called the Critic, by way of distinction t." The first of Sir Richard Blackmore's series of epic poems was the subject of his strictures, and he named the work “ Remarks on a book entitled Prince Arthur, an Heroic Poem. With some general critical Observations, and several new Remarks upon Virgil. London, 8vo. 1696.”
Dennis possessed a very respectable portion of learning and acuteness, and was in the early part of his career esteemed both by Dryden and Congreve for his critical sagacity. Besides the remarks on Arthur, he published a discourse on “ The Advancement and Reformation of modern Poetry," a tract on « The Grounds of Criticism in Poetry,” and “ Letters on the Genius and Writings of Shakspeare." All these contain many just and ingenious observations, and re.

Triangle fans of the historic (1922) horror film Nosferatu, a Dracula-story knock-off, enjoyed an embarrassment of riches on Halloween weekend as at least four screenings were given between Hillsborough and Cary. All featured music in one form or another, perpetuating one of the glories of the silent film era – the presence of live musicians in the "pit." Talkies spelled the end of the great theatre orchestras and of theatre organists and pianists, too, leading (among other things) to increased union activity on the parts of instrumentalists faced with major waves of job losses. (It's funny how this sort of thing is still with us as more and more dance companies stick it to musical artists by using recorded music for ballet...; some things never change.) Anyway, there’s been a mini-revival of silents with live music of late, and this weekend's spook-tacular is probably the greatest local example of the fad to date.
At the Carolina Theatre's matinee, a 63-minute "restored" print was seen, and the estimable Mallarmé Chamber Players did the musical honors, performing a score composed and arranged mostly by Eric Schwartz, with additional contributions by Michael Burns. The ensemble consisted of five superior artists plus the composer: Carla Copeland-Burns, flute, and Michael Burns, bassoon and composer (both affiliated with the Blue Mountain Ensemble), Suzanne Rousso, viola, John R. Beck, percussion, James Douglass, keyboard (in this case, an electronic piano/organ/synthesizer that produced an array of sounds, musical and otherwise), and composer Schwartz, whose performing contributions seemed to center on the occasional bit of electronic wizardry not provided by Douglass' instrument. This substantial ensemble set the offering apart from other Triangle efforts thus far, most of which have involved a single player who improvises (or so it's been said) as the movies unfold. (That's nonsense, of course – these things are all pre-planned, so for the most part, the improvisation involves making sure the music fits what's going on on the screen….)
The Mallarmé-istas, Durham's somewhat insurgent chamber ensemble, provided a wide range of sounds and sound effects that included a sort of modified Sprechstimme, shouts, bangs (on brake drums and more conventional percussion instruments), slides that suggested portamento string playing of the time the film was made, unusual breathe-through or blow-through flute techniques, some whimsy from the bassoon, and more. The players were clad in various ghoulish and witch get-ups that reminded some of the great Witch of Delaware (although admittedly that's a horror story of an entirely different color).
The music, consistently effective and often very, very effective, is in the form of a multi-movement suite of sorts; this is logical enough if you think about the need to support a sequence of scenes. The point of music as an accompaniment to film is of course akin to incidental music for plays – it enhances emotion or meaning or comments in some way on the action. In this case, the music was more prominent than usual, even for a silent film, so movie buffs might have found it too much of a good thing. Given that this horror film is for the most part one of cinema's more amusing essays, however, the fact that the music was in the foreground much of the time was a definite plus. And, again, the luxury of having some of our state's finest musicians playing in the "pit" for this show made it special enough to linger in the memory.
But about that restored film…. If you look up the technical specs for Nosferatu at the IMDB – see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0013442/ – you'll find that the lengths of this flick range from 65 to 94 minutes. This screening was advertised as taking 63 minutes. Much of the on-screen action was jerky and choppy, and some of the scenes were ridiculously fast. There's no doubt that the projection speeds were often incorrect – and thus this restoration left much to be desired. (A parallel is the transfer of acoustic recordings to CD – they weren't all made at a uniform 78 r.p.m.) One can therefore only hope that the versions of this Gothic classic seen in other locations this weekend – including the one at Duke Chapel at 5:00 p.m. the same day – featured better transfers of the original movie.
Mallarmé's season continues with a remarkable "historic Bach" program in February. For details, [see our calendar].


I want to thank y'all, again, for your patience and help.
I went back to the pattern...ready to try using a cable needle. But after reading the instructions for about the millionth time...I finally realized how to do what it was saying. :woot:
And...believe it or not...it did NOT call for a cable needle.
Although the cross over stitch here at KnittingHelp.com says to use a cable needle...my pattern's instructions were as follows:
C2R (Cross 2 Right) = knit into front of 2nd st on left-hand needle, then knit first st, slipping both sts off needle at the same time.
C2L (Cross 2 Left) =knit into back of 2nd st on left-hand needle, then knit first st the usual way, slipping both sts off needle at the same time.
The craziest thing is...now that I've completed nearly the whole back of the sweater (child's)...and I've typed the instructions above...I still don't think I got it quite right (I just realized that on the C2L, I knit in the back of both stitches instead of the first only). However...this is what I ended up with. I think it looks pretty good for my first time ever knitting. (Even if it's not quite right.)
Here are the stitches up close.
This is what the back of the sweater is shaping up to look like.
Now I'm off to create the sleeve holes.
Wish me luck! Crossed Fingers

Can exercise be bad for depression?
Earlier studies pegged exercise of low-to-moderate intensity
as a potential long-term treatment for depression. Vigorous physical activity releases endorphins, but regular levels of exercise can result in the growth of nerve cells.
Is exercise the best way to treat depression?
The links between depression, anxiety and exercise aren't entirely clear — but working out and other forms of physical activity can definitely ease symptoms of depression or anxiety and make you feel better. Exercise may also help keep depression and anxiety from coming back once you
're feeling better.
Is rest good for depression?
Getting a good night's sleep can be an important part of your plan to manage depression. When you're well-rested, you'll not only have more energy
, but you may also have a more upbeat view on life and better focus. That's because sleep is about a whole lot more than just rest.
Is cardio better for depression?
First, cardio exercise produces endorphins that may improve your sense of well-being and overall mood. Exercise can also improve sleep
, which can play a role in depression, and cardio can increase neurotransmitters like glutamate, GABA, serotonin, and norepinephrine, which may be low in depressed people.

We’ve made a commitment to giving back to the community, not only through monetary donations, but also in sharing our time and resources. For the past few years, we’ve had the opportunity to volunteer as the official film crew for Camp Millennium.
Camp Millennium is a camp for kids who are dealing with cancer in some way. The camp runs a full week and there is no cost to the camper, as it is entirely funded by donations. I’ve been privileged to join Artbeats president, Phil Bates, in capturing footage and creating a DVD that replays the fun the kids experience during their week-long escape.
At the beginning of this shoot, we accepted the realization that we could not control the place, time of day, lighting, or action taking place. We would not be able to say, “Take two” to much of anything except the kids’ personal introductions, and we would not have time to fiddle with camera settings, lenses or such. So, our first obvious choice was about equipment. We chose a Sony EX-1s, a lightweight tripod, and a FigRig to make hand-held acceptably stable. We took a reflector, a zillion cards, batteries, and a drive on which to copy the precious footage.
Camp M is currently held in the mountains directly above the beautiful Umpqua River in Southern Oregon. A windy dirt road makes its way up to large terraces where a gym, pool, playground, and eventually cabins and cafeteria are nestled among giant fir trees – beautiful surroundings that make for exhausting shooting as you rush up and down hills so as not to miss any activities going on at each location. The 95+ kids participate in swimming, archery, horseback riding, a ropes course and giant zip line, judo, recreation games, art, skits, a day of water games, a dance, campfires and fun meals, and a whole day is devoted to a marathon field trip that includes a trip to the movies, McDonalds, a day of Olympic style games, bowling and pizza. The shooting day begins (after prep, that is) at 8:00 am and ends whenever the last activity for the older kids winds up, usually around 10:30 or 11:00 pm.
The trick was to change our mindset from shooting stock video to capturing not only participation in the events, but the anticipation, struggle, joy, trepidation, fun, frivolity, and precious, tender moments that flow out of a week centered on these kids’ camping experience. Being alert at every moment for the little scenarios going on makes you aware that there is a camaraderie among kids with a common problem. They encourage each other to get on a horse or swim across the pool, shout for joy when a timid jumper finally lowers himself off the platform to zip down the hill, and stop dancing to sit with their friend who needs a treatment. They routinely visit the nurses’ station for meds, sometimes with their counselors who are previous campers themselves. They hug, sing, and cry with empathy over the death of friends, relatives, or fellow campers; are enthusiastic, silly, and appreciative. They make kind and appropriate fun of their cool counselors who are always “on stage” and model a looking-for-the good attitude. And, imagine this: they act like, well, kids.
It’s these moments that you can’t “do over,” so whether it’s magic hour lighting or pouring down rain, these snippets in time must be captured for DVD posterity. Our first year at camp, the staff told us numerous stories of campers who have to spend time in the hospital, often in lengthy stays, and how they watch their Camp M DVDs over and over, reliving a time when they just had fun with their friends. The DVD serves not only as a chronicle of the year’s activities, but a reminder of a week of escape. That knowledge fuels our dedication to retelling the camping story – to give them something to remember, relive, and look forward to.
This year, we brought our RED Epic camera along, as well. We limited its use for all the reasons we stated, and daily rain further limited the plan because we just didn’t want to deal with keeping it safe and dry. But a savvy camper/budding film student spotted it, recognized what it was and drooled heavily, encouraging Phil to take advantage of a couple of fun opportunities to bring it out for some slow-motion trickery. One day a downpour brought rain overflowing the cabin gutters, and several older kids volunteered to let the streams of water hit their faces. He also caught a walloping belly-flop by a counselor who created an enormous splash in the pool, and brought the camera out again during the games for events like parachute launching and sack races (races in slow-motion? That’s an oxymoron.) Another day a young animal-lover begged Phil to film her “snail circus,” and recognizing this important gift from a child, he dutifully set up a camera and filmed her lovely snails, up close and personal, much to her delight. But the coups de gras was the short introduction to the Epic camera and some on-hands experience for that budding student, a moment he’ll never forget. And neither will Phil.
What Artbeats hopes to give the campers of Camp Millennium is a fun-filled, tender, hilarious DVD shot and edited by a professional cinematographer who adjusted his focus for a week and who truly cares about a bunch of campers he may never see again in this life.
Somehow the many adults who generously donate their time, effort, energy, and money to a worthy cause create a week of joyous escape for those to whom life has been unfair. What does Artbeats get from our donation? A new lens through which to appreciate the world, and you can’t put a dollar figure on that.

Mental Illness... Just The Basic Truth That You Need. Because you are just getting so tired of misinformation that is being put out there daily about this type of disorder, and you just need to know all the basic truths about Mental Illness, so that way if it happens to affect you, your loved ones, your friends, co-workers... you can know what to do, where to turn to, and even how to conquer it. And so today, I intend to share all the basics truths you need to know about Mental Illness. To begin with, Mental Illnesses are medical conditions that disrupt a person's thinking , feeling, mood , ability to relate to others, as well as being able to function daily in a normal routine. Which all result in a diminished capacity to cope with all the constant demands of life.
Here Are A Few Myths And Truths About Mental Illnesses:
Myth: Mental Illness is the result of bad parenting.
Truth: Experts think that Genetic, and other risk factors are the cause.
Myth: Depression is a normal part of the aging process. And it is normal for adults to be depressed, and become lazy or weak.
Truth: Depression has nothing to do with being lazy or weak. It is the result of a change in brain chemistry or brain function
Myth: Schizophrenia means split personality, and there is no way to control it. As well it is often confused with multiple personality disorder.
Truth: Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that affects the ability to think clearly and logically, and some of the symptoms are: Social withdrawal, hallucination, and delusions
Myth: Addiction is a lifestyle choice and show lack of will power. And the people who suffer from addiction are morally weak or bad.
Truth: Addiction is a disease that usually results from changes in brain chemistry. It has nothing to do with being a "bad" person.
Myth: Mental Illness can just be willed away. Or you have failed, or you are weak.
Truth: Mental Illness can not be willed away, and ignoring it or someone who suffers from it, does not make it go away.
Some Basic Facts About Mental Illness:
---There are about 58.2 million ambulatory care visits to physician offices, hospital outpatient and emergency departments with mental disorders as their primary diagnosis .
---The average length of stay in a hospital for a mental disorder is 7.5 days.
---There are about 996,000 nursing home residents with mental disorders. About 66.7% of residents in nursing homes have mental disorders
---In 2009 there were about 36,909 deaths from suicide. There were 12 suicide deaths per 100,000 people in 2009.
---The most serious conditions affect 10.6 million people. Mental illness is the greatest cause of disability in the U.S. Twice as many Americans have schizophrenia than have HIV/AIDS. By 2020, Major Depressive Illness will be the leading cause of disability in the world for women and children.
Mental Illness... Just The Basic Truth That You Need. Because Mental Illness is being diagnosed more and more everyday by Psychologists. Now while some say it is because they just keep on naming disorders more and more, and that people have always been those ways. It would be best to realize that we live in a modern society where experiment with strong drugs are daily occurrences, very different lifestyles are now mainstream, the power of technology has rendered many with more dramas than they are accustomed to. And then add to that our food supplies which are heavily chemically enhanced, along with our water supplies filled with Fluorides, and not to forget the air that we breathe nowadays is very toxic due to greenhouse effect, poor emissions and other factors. So when you look at the picture as a whole, then you can see how Mental Illnesses are affecting more and more of the population every single day. So Now You Have The Basic Truths To Consider About Mental Illness, and if ever you don't feel like yourself then place a call to your psychologist, or your therapist and inquire about what you are feeling...

On Saturday 8th November 2014, 50 of our P6 and P7 pupils from the Senior Choir took part in a concert in the Theatre at the Mill. The children gave stunning performances of some war-time songs, including 'It's a Long way to Tipperary'. Rebekah Peel (P7R23) gave a beautiful rendition of 'Daisy Bell' on the violin, and Jessica Allen (P7R22) performed her solo in Gary Barlow's 'Sing' with such confidence.
We shared the stage by the Queen's Island Victoria Male Choir, who joined us in the singing of 'I'll Tell Me Ma' and 'This Little Light of Mine', both of which were very well received by the audience. The Choir were very encouraging to our young people and their own pieces were inspiring for the children to hear.
Thank you to all the parents and friends who attended the concert and supported the Senior Choir. We are so privileged to have had the opportunity to not only perform at Mossley Mill, but also alongside such a renowned vocal group. I hope the children will treasure the memory of this concert for many years to come.
Well done to each and every one of you! Not long 'till we do it all again at the Christmas Carol Service!

**Currently looking for B-36 Pics at RAF Fairford – Can you help?**
Welcome to my website which is dedicated to the history of RAF Fairford
It started around 2010 when I was unable to find information about a Fairford patch I had acquired. At that point I decided to create a website which records the history of RAF Fairford using Patches and Challenge Coins
Over the years I have included other pages such as the International Air Tattoo and some UK based squadrons with links to RAF Fairford
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the many people who have provided information and pictures since the website began.
Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.org if you have any further information or any of my wants for sale or trade

This thing looks sweeeeeeet.
Serious gimmick. "Combines a kukri,machete and hatchet into one"?? A kukri basically is the combination of a machete and hatchet. I Haven't seen too many gas shut off valves in the woods either. I'd save myself $90 and just buy a kukri.
better judged by twelve than carried by six.
A bit pricey , but I like it !
Someone with a permanent camp might find Nax-20 handy. On the flip side if you have a permanent camp your $150 might be better spent on a axe, machete and a pipe wrench. I am not pleased with 48 HRC steel. A $15 Cold Steel knife is 54 RH and a $40 Buck knife is 58 RH.
Piece of junk designed to appeal to people who know nothing about knives or axes. 4130 is a terrible steel for cutting anything. The design is terrible!
I have to agree... That is a very soft steel which likely won't hold any kind of edge. That hole cut out in the head will likely mean lowered rotational mass and thus less momentum in chopping. To me it looks like something that has a place in the predator movies, not in a survival scenario.

I,m seeing a very interesting weapon , not so much a heavy duty bush tool .!
Ya see , I got a thing about bladed weapons is all . Would not want to deal with a man with crazy thing in arms reach with a bad attitude...!
I like it .,

Overview of El Salvador
El Salvador’s status declined from Free to Partly Free in Freedom in the World 2020 because criminal groups continue to commit acts of violence and intimidation against politicians, ordinary citizens, and religious congregants, and because the justice system has been hampered by obstruction and politicization.
El Salvador is a member of the United Nations and several of its specialized agencies, the Organization of American States (OAS), the Central American Common Market (CACM), the Central American Parliament (PARLACEN), and the Central American Integration System (SICA).
El Salvador’s recognition of the PRC occurred under the leftist Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) government of former guerilla leader Salvador Sánchez Cerén, who had fought against El Salvador’s U.S.-backed junta during the country’s 1979–92 civil war.
El Salvador’s experience with the PRC and its companies, as well as the United States’ reaction and ability to deliver on its own promises, will have a strong impact on the rest of the region as its governments contemplate their own orientation toward the PRC.
El Salvador’s recognition of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in August 2018 was the third such change in Latin America following the end of the informal truce that had restrained the PRC’s diplomatic competition with Taiwan between 2008 and 2016.
El Salvador President Nayib Bukele has appointed a new security minister whose alleged ties to officials and political operators accused of corruption raise concerns about the government’s commitment to transparent…
El Salvador, for example, carried out a major crackdown on gangs through an operation known as Mano Dura (Strong Hand), which has been widely condemned by human rights organizations as being too violent and ineffective.
El Salvador won 3–0 with all goals coming in the second half. On December 1, Belize scored their first-ever international goal as they lost 2–1 to Costa Rica and were eliminated from the tournament.
El Salvador became one of the most dangerous places in the world in the decades that followed as a result, culminating in a homicide rate of 103 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2015, on a par with many war zones.
El Salvador’s economy has traditionally been agricultural, but services and industry now employ a greater percentage of the workforce and account for a much higher percentage of the gross domestic product.
El Salvador is a country in Central America and, geographically, is part of continental North America.It is bordered on the southwest by the Pacific Ocean, and lies between Guatemala and Honduras.
Carlos Humberto Romero, the last in a series of presidents whose elections were denounced by many as fraudulent, was overthrown by a military junta.In 1979, Gen.In the 1970s El Salvador’s overpopulation, economic problems, and inequitable social system led to social and political unrest; by the end of the decade, murder and other terrorism by leftist guerrillas and especially by right-wing death squads had become common.Murders and other terrorism continued, and the unrest erupted into a full-scale civil war between the government and guerrillas of the leading opposition group, the FMLN.
Should El Salvador be on your travel bucket list?
When people consider a trip to Central America, El Salvador probably isn’t the first country that comes to mind.
New normal: How far is safe enough?
How countries are adapting social distancing rules and what we know about the risks of coronavirus in public places.
What can I do to avoid bed bugs?
Although bed bugs do not carry disease, they are an annoyance.See our information page about avoiding bug bites for some easy tips to avoid them.For more information on bed bugs, see Bed Bugs.
It’s best to be prepared to prevent and treat common illnesses and injuries.Some supplies and medicines may be difficult to find at your destination, may have different names, or may have different ingredients than what you normally use.
What is happening in El Salvador?
El Salvador is ranked among the countries with the highest homicide rates in the world: 36 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2019, according to the police.Gang violence and conflict with security forces have created humanitarian consequences and affected access to health care.Learn how you can best help in El Salvador and other countries.
Why are so many migrant children going to the US?
There’s an influx of children migrating through the southern border with Mexico.
History of El Salvador
In 1969, El Salvador
and Honduras fought the brief "Soccer War" over disputed border
areas and friction resulting from the 300,000 Salvadorans who had emigrated
to Honduras in search of land and employment.
In 1524 Pedro de Alvarado landed and began a series of campaigns that resulted in Spanish control.
In 1525, Pedro de Alvarado, a lieutenant of Corts’s, conquered El Salvador.
In 1909, Alfred Widawer, a virtuous and religious man, joined the community.
In 1956, the Instituto Cultural El Salvador-Israel was founded. The community continues to support a school outside of the capital named the “Colegio Estado de Israel.”
In 1965, some 5,000 Cubans embarked from the port of Camarioca in small boats, landing in south Florida.
In 1969, El Salvador invaded Honduras after Honduran landowners deported several thousand Salvadorans.
In 1971, after nationalization of copper under the government of Salvador Allende, Codelco Chile took over operation of the El Salvador mine.
In 1979, Gen.
In 1980, the Mariel boat crisis brought 125,000 Cuban migrants to the U.S.
In 1980, three of the leftist organizations united to coordinate a fight against the government.
In 1989, Duarte was replaced by Alfredo Cristiani of the right-wing ARENA party, under whom the conflict underwent a major escalation.
In 1996 San Salvador was considered the second most dangerous city in the Western Hemisphere, according to statistics.
In 1998, Hurricane Mitch devastated the country, leaving 200 dead and over 30,000 homeless.
In 2006, El Salvador announced plans to move the embassy (Costa Rica did so as well) to Tel Aviv where the remaining embassies are located.
In 2008 Suriname advanced to the group stage of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying despite using only local players.
In 2011, La Constancia centralized its operations and opened its new headquarters in San Salvador, where it moved in 1928 from the Santa Ana Department.
In 2011, the Union of Ibero-American Capital Cities or Unión de Ciudades Capitales Iberoamericanas (UCCI), selected San Salvador as a “Latin American capital of culture”, recognizing San Salvador’s cultural diversity.
In 2018, 143 murders were recorded in Belize, giving the country a homicide rate of 36 murders per 100,000 inhabitants, one of the highest in the world, but lower than the neighbouring countries of Honduras and El Salvador. Belize District (containing Belize City) had the most murders by far compared to all the other districts.
In 2018, 66% of the murders occurred in the Belize District. The violence in Belize City (especially the southern part of the city) is largely due to gang warfare.
In 2018, the year El Salvador switched relations from Taiwan to the PRC, its exports to the country experienced a temporary jump to $85.5 million but then fell back to $51.9 million in 2019.
In 2019, El Salvador GDP was an estimated $26.9 billion (current market exchange rates); real GDP was up by an estimated 2.4%; and the population was 7 million.
In 2020, according to sources interviewed for this work, a delegation from the People’s Liberation Army toured the Salvadoran military academy, and the PRC has reportedly discussed providing computers and other equipment to the Salvadoran National Civil Police.
In 2020, just over 3,000 Cubans immigrants were admitted to the U.S.
In the 1970s El Salvador’s overpopulation, economic problems, and inequitable social system led to social and political unrest; by the end of the decade, murder and other terrorism by leftist guerrillas and especially by right-wing death squads had become common.
In the 1980s, El Salvador was ravaged by a bitter civil war stoked by gross inequality between the overwhelming majority of the population and a small and wealthy elite that left around 70,000 people dead.

On super Tuesday, Bush's former brain, Karl Rove, debuted on Fox News Channel as a political analyst. Genteel, wry and armed with terabytes of political minutiae, he won critical raves. ("One of the best things in television news right now," said the New York Times, the equivalent of a Westminster Dog Show hopeful getting endorsed by Cat Fancy.) But there was something poignantly valedictory about the old warrior playing referee: the lion, if not in winter, then in a petting zoo.
Late-night talk has returned just in time for the campaign. But some of the rules have changed
You could say the same thing lately for Fox News Channel itself. Fox hasn't gone soft, but from watching its coverage lately, I get a sense that the haven for conservative hosts, and viewers alienated by liberal news, needs to figure out its next act. Fox News is not simply a mouthpiece for the Bush White House: it rose with Bush after 2000 and 9/11, was played on TVs in his White House and reflected the same surety and flag-lapel-pin confidence in its tone and star-spangled look. It was not just a hit; it was the
