Annual Travel Issue
Tourism in Kentucky is serious business, with many
economic rewards for us all. But it’s also about friendly Kentuckians entertaining
visitors in the Bluegrass State. This year the Kentucky Department of Travel kicks
off a new program aimed at residents and their visitors. So gear up to criss-cross
the state with our lists of tourism destinations and new attractions.
Kentucky tourism officials are targeting a new kind
of tourist this year. In years past, most of the state’s advertising budget
has been spent in places within a four-hour drive to Kentucky. That’s where
the tourists have traditionally come from, and as Kentucky Department of Travel
Commissioner Bob Stewart says, "You fish where the fish are."
"Fishing," for tourists anyway, is serious
business. Each of the 19.9 million visitors to Kentucky in 2000 spent approximately
$200-225 per day. Add up those $200 days, and you arrive at a tidy sum. Tourism
is the third largest industry in Kentucky, pumping $8.8 billion into Kentucky’s
economy in 2000 while providing 163,000 jobs. Thus, the more tourists, the more
revenue, the more jobs. You get the idea.
This year, the fishing will continue, but the folks
in the Department of Travel plan to fish in a different lake, one closer to
home. In fact, you and I-all Kentuckians-are the big catch this year, along
with our families and friends. Here why:
* 42 percent of out-of-state tourists are in Kentucky
to visit a
friend or family member.
* 90+ percent of travel to Kentucky is for leisure
rather than work.
* 90+ percent of leisure travelers to Kentucky come
* One of the first things tourists say about Kentucky
is that the people are friendly.
"Our mission has always been to try to attract
out-of-state dollars into the state," Stewart says. "That is why our
advertising has gone pretty much out of the state. When we saw that 42 percent
of tourists are here to visit family and friends, that was kind of an ah-hah
"We also got some research that Kentuckians
were hospitable but not necessarily up to speed on all the fascinating and interesting
things there are to do and see in Kentucky. We thought, gee, here is an interesting
combination of facts. What can we do?"
That’s where the Kentucky Host Program comes in.
In the fall of 1999, Stewart presented this information
to advertising agencies interested in competing for the state’s annual advertising
contract. Doe-Anderson Advertising and Public Relations came back with a brainstorm
that kicked off February 15, officially called the Kentucky Host Program.
It might be called the buddy system. The idea is
to help Kentuckians bring more family and friends into the state. Incentives
and information make it easier and more fun.
For example, the Kentucky Tourism Council, an association
of tourism businesses and related groups, printed a Travel Values Book with
$1,500 worth of discounts at all sorts of Kentucky places and events. It is
available free at all the welcome centers or by calling (800) 225-8747. Kroger
food stores even got involved by giving away a Host Kit containing the value
book and a month-by-month calendar of events.
It will be awhile before Stewart knows whether the
Kentucky Host Program is a success, but the program meshes well with the other
research on tourism in Kentucky. For example, the Department of Travel’s research
shows that people come to Kentucky for a short getaway (3-4 days) rather than
an entire week. They love to swim and boat and particularly love our natural
resources and state parks. The word has gotten out about Kentucky crafts as
The campaign also bodes well with national trends
showing that this year people will be staying closer to home and spending more
time with family and friends. It even helped Stewart win State Tourism Director
of the Year, a prestigious honor from the National Council of State Tourism
Directors based on "obvious and measurable improvement of a state’s travel
and tourism profile while under the current director’s leadership."
For those who want to join Stewart as a part of the
Kentucky Host Program, the commissioner has some suggestions.
"Know what is in your community first of all,"
he says. "Go and experience it for yourself first. I shudder to think of
how many people who live in Frankfort, for example, who haven’t been to the
Kentucky History Center.
"Be helpful when people need directions or information.
Take the time to answer their questions. It just blows people’s mind that you
would take the time to help them, especially if they are from the northeast
or an urban area. It’s really fun to be hospitable and pays rewards that aren’t
necessarily paid in dollars and cents.
"If you see litter on your street, pick it up.
Keep things looking clean.
"Take at least one trip a year to a part of
Kentucky that you have never been before. If you live in eastern Kentucky, go
to western Kentucky, and vice versa.
"Put a new twist on travel. Decide you are going
to do a bed and breakfast tour of Kentucky or try to get to all 49 state parks
in Kentucky, not just the resorts but the shrines."
In short, Stewart hopes that we "fish"
in a lot of different waters in Kentucky this year, taking our family and friends
along as well.
"Kentuckians are proud of their state,"
Stewart says. "They’re proud and they’re friendly. They just don’t have
the information. Now we are going to give them the information and the financial
incentives to make them want to go and do it."
Virtually every Kentuckian knows about attractions
such as My Old Kentucky Home and the Kentucky Horse Park, but there are many
other fun and fascinating finds throughout the state. Here are five areas, among
many, and their various tourism offerings that Commissioner Bob Stewart recommends:

However, due to her continued pre-occupation with engagements in the Capital, Ms. Dikshit would not be able to travel down to Brazil and instead has deputed her Principal Secretary, S. Regunathan and Secretary, Renu Sharma, to showcase the successful social projects by the Government organisations, which adopted solutions related to public administration. They would present Bhagidari as a innovative, good governance solution related to public administration and an example of democratic city management.
Talking to The Hindu, the Chief Minister said the event has the support of the World Federation of United Cities, the International Union of Local Authorities, the International Council for Local Environment Initiatives, the United Nations habitat Programme, the World Association of Metropolis and the National Front of Mayors. The URBIS 2003 Congress would discuss several relevant urban themes related to public policies developed at the municipal, metropolitan, provincial, regional, national and international levels.
Ms. Dikshit said the fair would focus on successufl social programmes and projects by municipal authorities, governmental and non-governmental organisations as well as products and services from the private sector for municipal use. It is open for those who adopt innovative solutions regarding municipal management, universities, non-governmental organisations, financial institutions, multilateral organisations related to public adminsitration, public and private companies that provide services and products to cities in sectors such as tranpsort, health, education, tourism, sports, culture, urban infrastructure, sewage and garbage collection, waste treatment, lighting, engineering works and services, environment, housing security, social assistance, admnistration, planning and general management system.
In fact, the Delhi Government has prepared a colourful and designer dossier about the various initiatives taken under the Bhagidari scheme which would be distributed among the delegates to give them an insight into the successful partnership that the Government had managed to forge with the citizens and various voluntary groups in day to day to governance. At present nearly 1,200 Resident Welfare Associations and Market Welfare Associations are part of the Bhagidari initiative which had led to greater transparent, openenss and efficiency in running of the adminsitration and implementation of various projects. In fact, the Bhagidari scheme had found echo during the AICC meeting held at Shimla recently when the issue of good governance came up for discussion.

Some traders in Mile 1 market, Port Harcourt on Thursday took to the street to protest alleged notice of eviction presented to them by the Rivers Government.
The government through its Ministry of Lands and Survey in a letter dated February 17, ordered the traders to vacate a temporary market, at Old Cultural Centre Mile One, within 14 days of notice.
The Ministry, in the letter, warned that the traders would be forcefully ejected if they failed to vacate the market within the stipulated time.
Mr Innocent Okogbule, a legal practitioner and Counsel to the protesting traders, in his reply to the government on behalf of the traders, said that the state government reneged on its agreement with the traders.
According to him, the traders under the aegis of Mile One Market Traders Association (MOMTA) were relocated to the temporary site by the government after their former market was gutted by fire in 2013.
“After the fire incident in which many died and lost properties; the living amongst them mobilised themselves and erected temporary structures beside their respective burnt shops to display their wares.
“After resettling themselves, the Rivers government, touched by their plight and driven by the need to forestall future occurrence, declared the interest to build a Phase two of the Mile One Market.
“Thereafter, the state government in collaboration with the PortHarcourt City Council after meeting with MOMTA, decided to relocate the traders to Njemanze, Urualla and Old Cultural Centre – their current temporary site.
“In spite the setback the relocation would cause to their businesses, the traders accepted to move to the temporary site to enable the government to build a permanent market devoid of incessant fire incidents,” he said.
Okogbule wondered why the state government took the decision to eject the traders after it signed an agreement with the traders’ union allotting the temporary site to them.
He described the move by the state government as shocking and insensitive especially as the traders were not invited to discuss the matter.
The counsel urged the Ministry to exercise restraint and consult widely with the PortHarcourt City Council on the true position of the temporary site with a focus on a peaceful resolution.
“The traders are at the current site at the behest of the state government and will gladly return back to the area earmarked for phase two of Mile One market within 24 hours.
“But the traders would legally resist any attempt to forcefully eject them from the Old Cultural Centre without allowing them to return to the space at Mile One market from where they were removed.
“We advise that the offensive notice be rescinded within seven days in the interest of peace and security and to avoid any possible breakdown of law and order,” he said.
Okogbule expressed concern that hoodlums might take advantage of the notice to loot wares in the guise of working for the state government as agents or task force.

Overall, Snyder’s message is that the United States is not unique—neither in the world today nor against the backdrop of history—in being pushed in more authoritarian directions. If anything, Trump is exploiting the same tactics Putin and state-run media in Russia use, but with the American addiction to 24/7 media and smartphones and other devices, we’re making it easier for an emerging authoritarian like Trump to consolidate his power.
Is the war on terror therefore like the war on drugs: does it actually promote what it allegedly is fighting against? The facts suggest that this is the case.
This culture tells us that humans are selfish and greedy. It says that we are nothing more than individual islands of ego floating in a sea of chaos. It is the Great Myth of Separation that takes many forms. We’ve seen it as humans apart from nature, reason divided against emotion, body separate from mind, one tribe distinct from another. This mental tendency to categorize the world according to its separations is the root cause of illness in the world today.
The Worst Of Donald Trump’s Toxic Agenda Is Lying In Wait: A Major US Crisis Will Unleash It, By Naomi Klein
It is true that many of the more radical items on this administration’s wish list have yet to be realized. But make no mistake, the full agenda is still there, lying in wait. And there is one thing that could unleash it all: a large-scale crisis.
Large-scale shocks are frequently harnessed to ram through despised pro-corporate and anti-democratic policies that would never have been feasible in normal times. It’s a phenomenon I have previously called the “Shock Doctrine,” and we have seen it happen again and again over the decades, from Chile in the aftermath of Augusto Pinochet’s coup to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina
Carolyn Baker is a one-woman whirlwind of communication. She’s up-to-date on the news of the world, as she publishes her Daily News Digest. Carolyn is author or co-author of 11 books, has provided life-coaching for many, and leads workshops. Her motto is “Speaking Truth to Power”. From Boulder Colorado, it’s a treat to welcome Carolyn Baker back to Radio Ecoshock. Alex Smith devotes an entire page to covering my work
Those who self-identify as “The Resistance” must understand one thing: Trump is no accident of history, no aberration. He is the logical outcome of the system that preceded him. If you would fight against him, you must fight against that system.
William Cowper said “Existence is a strange bargain. Life owes us little; we owe it everything. The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.”
I went to Tillerson’s ranch in Bartonville [Texas]. I pulled up in front of his ranch, a big, big horse ranch. In front of the gate to his ranch, there was this big sculpted metal globe. It looked like someone took a carving knife to it and the whole upper part of the globe, along these uneven serrated edges, opened up into this gaping void, and I thought, Wow, that is symbolic. Here is Tillerson’s globe and it’s a world whose apex has been systematically shredded. It was quite a metaphor.
I have no problem with preparing for the future. I’ve been writing books on that topic for about six years. The future has come to meet us and smack us upside the head on just about every level imaginable. And…living primarily in the future takes a terrible toll on us in current time. In fact, it strip-mines our lives in the here and now and guarantees that we become “extinct” long before NTHE does its dirty deed.

Liposuction is performed to remove excess fat deposits from a specific area of the body or face. Liposuction is ideal for men and women who are healthy, but have struggled to loose stubborn pockets of fat that have been resistant to diet and exercise. There are a few different types of liposuction. Tumescent liposuction is performed by filling the specified area with fluid before the fat is suctioned out and ultrasonic liposuction is performed using heat to vaporize the fat before removal.
Liposuction can be performed on virtually any area of the body including the abdomen, thighs, hips, waist, knees, neck and chin. If you are tried of battling one area of your body and ready to learn more about liposuction and find out if it may be the right step for achieving your body contouring goals, contact our office today to schedule your consultation.

We all have different ways to learn and retain knowledge, and while some may rather just read a book on a subject, instead of copying paragraphs and paragraphs on it, or hearing a class about it, others feel better just by looking at it with pictures.
But, what is a fact, is that all of us find it way better and easier to interact with something before comprehending it and learning about it, and gladly, there are several interactive museums that can help us out with that. Today, we’re going to let you know about some of the best in the world:
As you may have figured out, the Deutsches Museum is located in Germany. It has over 5 thousand square meters and over 999 thousand objects that could help you learn all there is to know about science and technology, especially when it comes to engines and vehicles, with pieces like the first ever Mercedes-Benz car.
Museo Interactivo Mirador
The Museo Interactivo Mirador is located in South America, specifically in Chile, and has the purpose of providing a fun and entertaining experience that can also help people learn about science. It has over 15 different rooms and several simulators with over 300 different experiments.
Britain’s Museum of Popular Music
Located in London, this incredible museum will knock you off your feet, especially if you’re a music enthusiast like most of us. Here, you’ll find an interactive studio where you can compose your very own musical song and play all of the instruments you’ll find there. Also, you’ll be able to enjoy a couple of the most popular tunes of great British bands like Queen, The Beatles or The Rolling Stones.
Cité Des Sciences
The Cité des Sciences or City of Science in Paris counts with over 300 meters where you can find a spherical movie theater called Geoda, as well as a huge concert room called Zenith. This place is 100% interactive and is built as an entire city, the name suggests. With movies, songs, culture, art and you name it, is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience.
Space Center Houston
This one’s one of the most visited tourists’ venues in the world. The 100% interactive Space Center in Houston, USA, hosts over 700 thousand tourists per year, thanks to the way they show all of the NASA efforts. Their approach is both fun and easy to understand. Also, the spaceships simulators are top-notch, especially for kids.
Museo Interactivo De La Economía
This one has to be one of the most creative museums you’ll ever find. Right in the heart of Mexico City, the nation’s capital, you’ll be able to learn how to handle your finances, something most grown ups still don’t know anything about. In this place, you’ll find everything there is to know about finance on a different, entertaining way.
Museo De Los Niños
The Museo de Los Niños (Children’s Museum) in Caracas, Venezuela, will turn even most grown-ups in kids thanks to its interactive rooms and games. There, you’ll be able to know about biology, chemistry, physics, and even space by taking part in all of the activities and different games you’ll find in its rooms.

No one raved about the original PT Cruiser more than I did when it first hit the road in March of 2000. I thought it was a genuine breath of fresh air, and along with the Volkswagen New Beetle that came before it, and the Mini Cooper that came after it, small, inexpensive cars were cool again.
Chrysler was soon faced with the challenge of keeping the PT Cruiser fresh without investing a lot of money in the product. A performance GT model was followed by some special editions, and then, late in 2004, came the inevitable: the 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible.
Making a convertible version from most cars isn’t that hard: Whack off the top. But the PT Cruiser presented a special challenge, because it only came as a four-door sedan. It took a lot of work, and an investment well in excess of Chrysler’s original predictions, to pull it off. But it did, and the result was the two-door PT Cruiser drop-top.
Some cars look natural as a convertible, some don’t. The PT Cruiser convertible’s styling seems a little forced and uncomfortable. With the big hoop between the front and rear seats — Chrysler calls it a “sport bar” — a PT Cruiser with the top down looks like a picnic basket.
That said, the whole package works pretty well. The sport bar — lawyers won’t let manufacturers call them “roll bars” any longer, because that name implies protection in a rollover — does at least stiffen the chassis to the point where there is negligible body shake, even on rough roads or when crossing railroad tracks. And it really doesn’t limit access to the rear seats, which are, surprisingly, large enough for adults.
The PT Cruiser convertible comes in three varieties: a base-model convertible, with a 2.4-liter, 150-horsepower, four-cylinder engine; a midlevel Touring, with a 2.4-liter, 180-horsepower turbocharged engine; and the top-of-the-line GT, with a 230-horsepower turbocharged version of the 2.4-liter engine. Prices start at less than $21,000 for the base car, and the GT can top $30,000.
The test model was a Touring, with only a few options. Seats were cloth-covered and comfortable. The top works easily enough: Flip a latch, and an electric switch does the rest.
The base and the GT models offer manual or automatic transmissions, but the Touring comes only with a four-speed automatic. Power was adequate, but this engine, like some other aspects of the PT Cruiser, is showing its age. The engine isn’t as smooth as some of the better four-cylinders, and the transmission is a bit jerky.
The GT comes with bigger tires and wheels, and a stiffer suspension, but I thought the Touring’s ride and handling were quite good. This is not a sports car but a sporty car, and if that’s what you want, you’ll be pleased with a PT convertible.

Trumpeter swans, the largest waterfowl in North America, have made a remarkable comeback from near extinction in recent years — and some have taken up residence on or near the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge.
“On the refuge this year, we had three pairs that successfully had young,” said Linda Ziemba, a wildlife biologist at the refuge.
In the 1800s, the birds were heavily hunted across the country for their meat and their feathers. Their largest flight feathers made the best quill pens, according to Kevin McGowen, an ornithologist at the Cornell Lab.
Their population reached a low point in the early 1930s when biologists discovered there were only 69 known trumpeters in Yellowstone National Park. Fortunately, a group of the birds, numbering a couple of thousand, were discovered in Alaska. Hunting was stopped, and their population has been coming back, particularly in recent years.
A trumpeter swan can easily be distinguished from the non-native, invasive mute swan by their dark-colored bills. Mute swans have almost entirely orange bills, with black knobs on adult birds.
Adult trumpeter swans have wingspans of 7 feet. The male birds average 28 pounds; the females, 22 pounds. Their eggs are five inches long.
Beginning in 1968, the Trumpeter Swan Society, a non-profit group, successfully pushed for trumpeter swans to be reintroduced in various states across the country. There was also a project to bring back the birds in Ontario, Canada.
New York did not get on that bandwagon. However, the first nesting pair was spotted in this state in the late 1980s at the Perch River Wildlife Management Area near Watertown. Shortly after, another nesting pair was noted on private land within the Montezuma Wetlands Complex.
There are two theories on why there are trumpeter swans in this state — and specifically in this area. One is that the birds migrated from Canada and decided to stay. Another is that they came from Savannah Dhu, the 5,000-acre nature preserve owned by mall mogul Bob Congel in Wayne County. The adult birds Congel originally brought in there had their wings clipped, but the young didn’t and escaped, McGowen said.
The DEC’s last survey of trumpeter swans was done in 2010, when 10 breeding pairs, seven with young, were documented. This was the highest known count to date.
Last year, DEC staff put green wing tags on a trumpeter swan family group (two adults and five young) on state land north of the Montezuma refuge, and on several birds at the Perch River Wildlife Management Area to learn more about their movements. If you see one, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.org.

Gender and the American Presidency. By Theodore F. Sheckels, Nichola D. Gutgold, and Diana B. Carlin. Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2012. 192 pages.
Senator Hillary Clinton's competitive campaign for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, Governor Sarah Palin's selection as the Republican vice presidential candidate in the same year, and the wins by women in U.S. Senate races that brought the 113th Congress to a record level of 20 women now serving in the Senate have once again brought to the fore questions about women and the American presidency. The U.S. has yet to elect a woman president. In only two elections--1984 and 2008--have women even been on presidential tickets as vice presidential running mates. While progress has been made over the last one hundred years in women's political rights generally, the nation has not reached gender parity in elective representation. In their timely book, Gender and the American Presidency, Theodore F. Sheckels, Nichola D. Gutgold, and Diana B. Carlin examine the biographies and rhetoric of nine prominent, modern-day women to ask a fitting question: "Why not Madam President?" (p. viii).
The book's approach is an inductive look at why prominent women have not been given the nod for the presidency and/or presidential tickets. "We chose to proceed as we did based on a hunch that the stories, if told without the lens of current theories about gender and politics firmly in place, might point to some new or differently-cast hypotheses," state the authors (p. viii). After a brief overview of the project, the book presents one chapter for each of the women the authors selected: Nancy Landon Kassebaum, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Mikulski, Elizabeth Hanford Dole, Nancy Pelosi, Olympia Snowe, Christine Gregoire, Kathleen Gilligan Sebelius, and Linda Lingle. In each chapter, the authors lay out short biographies explaining how these women came to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, or governorship of their states. The authors then examine each woman's rhetorical style before speculating on why each woman was never chosen for higher office. The book ends with a chapter offering 11 maxims suggesting why a woman has yet to be nominated by her party, let alone to win the presidency.
The title of the book should have, perhaps, been Women and the American Presidency rather than Gender and the American Presidency, as it does not examine the backgrounds and rhetoric of high-profile males. The word...

The MTA is in the process of improving safety facilities and carrying out emergency drills on the Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road lines in the aftermath of the derailment in the Bronx that left four dead, including a woman from Woodside, and more than 60 injured.
“The first round of safety stand-downs took place last week,” said Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman Aaron Donovan. “We will install new signal protections to automatically enforce speed restrictions at four critical Metro-North curves by March and five movable bridges by September.”
Donovan said the LIRR was also involved in the drills.
Some trains are already temporarily operated by two-man crews composed of engineer and conductor as part of the safety program. Metro-North is required to assign two crew members in or near the cab of any train passing through a hazardous zone.
“The two-member requirement is temporary until the MTA completes modifications to the signals system to automatically slow train speeds in approaches to specific curves,” said Donovan.
The MTA, soon after the derailment Dec. 1, installed safety measures at Spuyten Duyvil in the Bronx, a 30-mph zone which a Metro-North Hudson Line train entered at 82 mph and jumped the tracks. Kisook Ahn, a 35-year-old nurse, was killed in the crash as she commuted home to Woodside from the overnight shift at a children’s rehabilitation center in Ossining.
“Metro-North is taking important steps to improve safety for its customers and employees and will expect the railroad will continue searching for ways to improve its operations and fully restore its commuters’ confidence,” MTA Chairman Tom Prendergast said.
The MTA action was in response to an emergency order from Federal Railroad Administrator Joseph Szabo requiring the transit agency “to ensure its train crews do not exceed speed limitations and to modify its existing signals system to ensure that speed limits are obeyed and to provide two qualified railroad employees to operate trains where major speed restrictions are in place until the signals system is updated.”
U.S. Sens. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y) and Richard Blumethal (D-Conn.), meanwhile, called for federal officials to order installation of video cameras on trains to keep watch on tracks, the condition of signals and engineers.
“I’m perplexed as to why, for the past few years, the FRA has been sitting on a list of life-saving recommendations that may very well prevent dangerous behavior onboard our commuter trains,” Schumer said. “Inward facing cameras may help railroad managers detect dangerous patterns amongst engineers ahead of time and also help investigators determine the cause of a future rail accident.”
The two lawmakers called on the FRA to order inward and outward cameras, which they said would act as a deterrent and allow the MTA and other railroads to prevent crew members from falling asleep or texting on the job.

Calls PDM a dead horse that postured no difficulty to PMAnticipates PTI govt in Azad KashmirSays talks with India feasible just after busy Kashmir’s status restored
RAWALPINDI: Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed on Saturday hinted that connections in between the federal government and also resistance would boost after the Azad Jammu as well as Kashmir (AJK) elections set up for July 25.
” The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government led by Imran Khan will certainly complete its term and also the declarations of Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari as well as his visit to the United States would certainly have no effect on its period,” Mr Ahmed stated while dealing with a public meeting on Tipu Roadway in connection with the upcoming AJK polls.
Though the minister did not clarify on his remarks regarding what he suggested when he claimed relations between the government as well as opposition would certainly enhance, it is believed that he was attempting to downplay the recurring war of words in between both sides throughout the continuous political election project in AJK.
Commenting on the opposition alliance, Pakistan Democratic Activity (PDM), the priest said: “PDM is a dead horse as well as has actually stopped working to order the focus of individuals.”
He said the opposition did not pose any challenge to Imran Khan as he was benefiting the nation’s prosperity and also would complete his term, including that the government was making every effort to improve the living standard of the residents.
Mr Ahmed stated Prime Minister Imran Khan increased the Kashmir concern before the comity of nations in a befitting way, including that nobody before him had actually highlighted the concern so forcefully.
The preacher reiterated that Pakistan would certainly not hold talks with India till it recovered busy Kashmir’s pre-August 5, 2019 condition.
He was confident that the PTI would win the AJK political elections, develop a federal government in the area as well as benefit the Kashmiris under the truthful leadership of Imran Khan, including that the head of state would certainly visit the area in the coming days as well as he would certainly also accompany him.

On the situation in Afghanistan, the indoor preacher stated Pakistan would not allow any nation to utilize its land to interrupt regional peace, emphasizing that Islamabad desired tranquility in Afghanistan as well as would certainly approve any kind of decision made by its individuals about their country’s future.
He claimed the leading civil as well as army leadership was striving to bring both the Afghan federal government and Taliban on the table to ensure lasting peace in the neighbouring country, adding that PM Khan, Chief of Military Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and the Consular service were making every effort hereof.
Speaking about people stranded in Torkham, the priest claimed just those who had been vaccinated against Covid-19 would be permitted to cross the border because of an uptick in cases in the country.
He stated after the introduction of the Delta version, the federal government had actually taken a variety of steps to secure people, therefore those who were not vaccinated as well as had actually tested positive would be quarantined.
“Torkham border is open for vaccinated individuals,” he included.
The preacher claimed Leh Nullah Expressway job would certainly be completed in 3 years and it would be a significant relief for the people of Rawalpindi, conserving them from floodings as well as providing an alternative route in between the twin cities.
Mr Ahmed stated it was his dream to give a far better environment to the citizens of the garrison city.


Since it first dropped in 1998, ‘Viewpoints’, the debut album by UK producer Justice, aka Tony Bowes, has been celebrated as one of the most influential albums by DJs and producers across the spectrum of electronic music. The 11-track album was the product of a fevered burst of creativity and experimentation that explored Justice’s many influences, resulting in the creation of unheard-before sonic hybrids.
‘Viewpoints’, originally released on cult imprint Recordings Of Substance, is being reissued by Hydrogen Dukebox Records, complete with striking new artwork and on vinyl for the very first time with all 11 tracks. Available now for pre-order here.
After the success of his early hardcore and ambient jungle records which were made with frequent collaborator Blame, Justice was keen to strike out on his own. Eager to escape being pigeonholed as a Drum & Bass artist, in 1997 he set to work on ‘Viewpoints’, incorporating a variety of genres and moods and free from categorisation.
Check out the incredible new video of ‘Aquisse’ by Hattie Warboys:
“This is what happened when I went with the Sci-Fi watery mood of the track within the confinement of pandemic madness! Something we can most likely all relate to. It definitely scratched a lockdown itch for me!” – Hattie Worboys
The album is released on 27th August which is preceded by the single ‘Aquisse’, released on 4th June.


About the team:
MotoManipal is the brainchild of a team of passionate students from Manipal Institute of Technology, who came together in early 2018. They aim to start a project to revolutionize electric bikes in the current industry.
The team is Karnataka’s only electric superbike student project which aims at establishing a balance between maintaining the ecological parameters and love for biking. The team is set to test the boundaries of speed and agility keeping in mind the need to bring a change in today’s environment that could prove to improve living conditions.
The team believes in providing bike enthusiasts with an efficient, energy driven, and affordable prototype of an electric superbike.
MotoManipal is slowly building up a team of fervent students with an aim of maintaining a fine balance in our environment.
About the project:
In the upcoming years, electromobility will be a mass phenomenon. A study conducted shows that electric vehicles will surpass combustion engine models in terms of global sales before 2040.
This project is an attempt to promote this technology to the Indian market to solve the energy crisis that we as a community are facing on a daily basis.
With the gradual urbanization, cities are growing at an unprecedented rate. However developed the world is getting, the need for renewable resources is growing at an alarming rate and so is the reduction of pollutants all over the world.
Transportation is a necessity that cannot be replaced, but it can be made better and more eco-friendly. To overcome the inevitable, it is required of us to bring some changes to move in the right direction.
MotoManipal as a team wants to take this step to give India a faster and more efficient mode of transport that is also easier on nature.
Electric bikes are a growing necessity that is slowly taking over the market as a substituent for combustion bikes. These are not only fast, durable and rechargeable but are also more eco-friendly.
MotoManipal being one of the very few teams that are working towards a greater change, is putting forth new technologies and innovations to better the basic concept of electric bikes. The team as a whole is coming up with new ideas and research each day to serve the project.
The team is working as a whole to come up with advanced technologies and trying to incorporate the same in the project. Research on different topics is being done in order to improvise on existing batteries and motors. The following are the research topics in progress:
1)Writing an entire paper about the basic design of the electric bike which hasn’t been done by any other team so far.2) Implementing the concept of Kalman filter for estimating the state of charge(SOC) of battery and predicting other parameters which cannot be done using relevant sensors.3) Implementing the concept of Fuzzy logic (Fuzzy logic is an approach to computing based on "degrees of truth" rather than the usual "true or false" (1 or 0) Boolean logic on which the modern computer is based) on regenerative braking for optimal use of the battery and the motor.
We need your support:
With constant improvisations and work put in behind the entire concept of electric bikes, they will soon take over the market at a fast pace. However, the e-bike being a new concept, requires research to make a near perfect, error-free model.
With the ongoing trials and simulations, the theoretical experience is being accumulated but it requires a more practical approach. The team is building everything from scratch, finding new purposes and techniques for the bike the team is building. They require your inept support to help them build an efficient bike that can bring about a revolution in the Indian market and soon the entire world.
For this the team needs a sum of Rs.5,00,000 for the following purposes:
- Set up of the bike
- Purchasing of: Motors, Sensors, Battery, The Faring of the bike, chassis and so on.
- An implication of theoretical research into practical research.
They wholeheartedly thank you for your support in advance and hope to put in our all in realizing this. They aim to give you and me one of the most efficient in the world electric bikes to bring a global change.

Latin Restaurants Bergen
Latin American cuisine represents the colorful array of spicy and savory dishes that hail from nations on the North and South American continents that speak the Romance languages. Although each individual cuisine shares some basic similarities with each other, such as their habitual use of a mixture of tomatoes, onions, garlic, bell peppers, chilies and herbs on most of their traditional dishes, each country has their own distinctive way of preparing and presenting their food. Majority of Bergen Latin American restaurants feature tempting dishes native to a particular region. For example, Peruvian cooking has been generating buzz recently, and often makes use of chilies, potatoes, and corn in combination with meat, rice or bread. A simple walk around Bergen will lead you to different restaurants offering authentic samples of this hearty cuisine.

The Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth has commissioned me to write a major new work to honor the 250th Anniversary of the college. A sonic hallmark for the college, this symphony for winds will span four movements, each inspired by a beloved Dartmouth place. The Dartmouth College Wind Ensemble will premiere the new work in Fall 2019.
BE PART OF THE JOURNEY
Dartmouth students, alumni, faculty and staff are invited to join me in this journey! I'd love to hear your thoughts about what Dartmouth means to you, and suggestions for places to include in the piece. Please fill out the form below to share your ideas!

Best Of The Web
“The Democratic Party’s latest flavor of the week, Pete Buttigieg, shocked Meet the Press viewers this weekend when he openly called himself a “capitalist” during his interview. Like so many others, Buttigieg announced in January that he would be launching an exploratory committee as a potential Democratic candidate in the 2020 presidential race. However, calling himself a capitalist at a time when the left considers this to be an “evil” ideology might not go over so well with Democratic voters.
But Buttigieg toes a very strange line. The openly gay millennial candidate is younger and “cooler” than his counterparts and has gone after issues that most Democrats never touch, like the national debt. But while he tries to present his policy stances in a light more appealing to moderate Democrats, at the end of the day his views are not all that different than those of other candidates like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
Despite what he may say, Buttigieg’s ideas are antithetical to free market capitalism. In fact, when pressed further during his interview, Buttigieg went so far as to say democracy should not be sacrificed for the sake of a free-market economy. And in making this comment, he has shown that his understanding of both democracy and capitalism are limited and misguided.”

BENEFITING: Fort Worth Swing Dance Syndicate
EVENT DATE: Sep 15, 2016
Fort Worth Swing Dance Syndicate needs a new sound system! Can you help us? We spend every Thursday night teaching and dancing with 50-100 other people in a local art gallery. Unfortunately, our little sound system can't keep up with the acoustics of an art gallery, the chatter of excited friends dancing together, and our syncopated dancing.
The cool things: we have awesome instructors, DJs, and attendees who love this dance and community! We share vernacular jazz dancing with Fort Worth, make new friends each week, and host the annual Sundance Swing Out (google it, it's awesome).
The uncool things: our sound system just can't keep up. Our instructors sometimes have to shout to be heard, and announcement time means turning off the fans so people can hear about upcoming events. Old jazz tunes that haven't been remastered are completely unplayable on the current speakers.
The super cool plan: raise money to purchase a new sound system, complete with microphones and a solid sound board for DJs. Want to be part of this plan? Donate and help us out!
We're also hosting a silent auction with art, food, and dance-related goodies on September 15 at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center. Come join us there and participate in the auction! Auction starts at 8pm and ends at 10:30pm.

As temperatures cool and winter snowstorms become more and more imminent, homeowners and renters alike begin to wonder how to enhance their curb appeal or lawn’s overall look – even when it’s covered in snow! So what’s the best way to make your yard and home look it’s best, even if the lawn itself is covered? We’ve got all the best ways to up your curb appeal this winter as you wait for the possibilities that come with spring’s warmer weather.
Especially as the holiday season nears, a lot of people use hanging lights to get into the wintery spirit, where to celebrate specific holidays or not. Hanging lights up around your home, on your trees, and even on your home fencing can be a great way to lighten up your yard and bring some wintery cheer to those passing by.
Again, many put up wreaths for holiday celebrations, but there are a ton of reasons to keep various types of wreaths up throughout the entirety of winter. Many will put up berry or pine wreaths on their front doors, in windows, or hanging on their home’s fencing to bring some color to their snowy yards.
The perfect accessory for your fencing or other yard -lining setups, garlands bring a pop of color that you need to feel good about your home’s curb appeal. Plus, there are so many different types of garlands to choose from, and they can be combined and enhanced with so many other things. Plus, you can even turn your’s into bird feeders to keep your bird friends fed and warm during the winter weather.
Another great way to help out your local birds while making your yard look its best is by putting up brightly colored and vibrant bird houses. This is a great way to keep your local wildlife fed and taken care of during the tough winter season, but it can be a fun home project for you and your family to take on while cooped up at home! Make and decorate your own birdhouses, and have fun while brightening up your yard’s look.
If you have a mailbox that’s close to the street, a great way to bring some winter cheer is by decorating your mailbox with various wintery-themed accoutrements. Like the birdhouse building project, decorating your mailbox is also a great way to keep you and your family busy and entertained while you all go a little stir crazy as temperatures and snowfall. However, make sure you’re using the right paints and materials to decorate your mailbox with! A lot of paints won’t adhere to cold surfaces, so also make sure to bring your mailbox inside for a little bit before painting it.
Whether you choose to embrace the snowy look the winter brings to your yard in winter, or take steps to enhance your curb appeal as the winter months come into fruition, don’t forget to consult and use Pillar Aggregates for all of your winter residential and commercial landscaping needs.

As Ray and I were in Texas when this wonderful show took place, I have been unable, until now, to give more details. (Anita apologises for adding the further delay before she could review the post, something that she has only just done!) Texas was half-way through our 11 week holiday touring the USA while Anita completed leg 7 between San Francisco and New York.
I knew up front that the venue, food and music had been provided by contacts of Dominga Devitt of The Foundation for Conductive Education. I therefore agreed with Dominga that I would help all I could with publicity and ticket-selling. I also provided the raffle prizes from items that had been donated towards Anita’s fundraising efforts.
I have had to rely on “others” to provide details about the concert. I have heard various comments but the over-riding impression is that it was a wonderful occasion with a large audience. My great thanks to Andrew Millward from Birmingham Choral Union who was brave enough to send me some written comments.
Andrew Millward. Review. Songs from the Shows Sunday 18th May 1:30pm – 4:30pm at The Eaton Hotel, 279 Hagley Road, Edgbaston
This fund raising event for the National Institute of Conductive Education featured the Birmingham Savoyards singing songs from musical theatre productions proudly presented as “Songs from the Shows!
The programme featured a selection of songs from Gilbert and Sullivan productions The Gondoliers, Ruddigore, The Sorcerer, Pirates of Penzance, Trial by Jury, Yeoman of the Guard, HMS Pinafore and The Mikado sung with great enthusiasm by the Savoyards clearly relishing the opportunity to showcase some of the popular and engaging works from the G&S repertoire. Other songs featured were “Speed Your Journey” from Verdi’s opera Nabucco and twentieth century West End and Broadway musicals with songs from Forty Second Street (the title song), Girl Grazy (“We got Rhythm”), Calamity Jane (“Deadwood Stage”, “Windy City” and “Black Hills of Dakota”) along with some medleys enabling some audience participation.
The compering was very well managed and enabled a smooth transition through such a large programme. Not surprisingly the G&S works stood out and two highlights were the performances of “Hail Poetry” and “Night has Spread Her Pall”. However, the compere stole the show with an updated and topically sharp working of “The Little List”.
At £15 including a welcome drink and afternoon tea a great afternoon’s entertainment which one hopes will be repeated.
The end result was a wonderful boost for Anita’s funds. The proceeds from the tickets and raffle brought the total to a remarkable £2,450. Many thanks to Dominga Devitt of The Foundation for Conductive Education who agreed that all of the proceeds from this would go towards Anita’s target of £8,200. The total raised to date is £6,627.39. A mere £1,572.61 to go!

OFFICIALLY SAY GOOD-BYE TO YOUR TENNIS ELBOW!
“A controlled clinical trial showing the effectiveness of Astym (R) treatment for tennis elbow was presented at the American Society for Surgery of the Hand’s annual meeting. The study showed that Astym treatment was an effective tennis elbow therapy by resolving 78.3% of chronic lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) cases. This figure is consistent with the 80.9% resolution rate for chronic lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) that was contemporaneously reported in the national outcomes database for Astym treatment. This correlation demonstrates the reliability of the Astym outcomes database.”
More support for Astym therapy has just been published. A large, randomized clinical trial showing Astym therapy to be highly effective for tennis elbow, and also demonstrating Astym therapy’s impressive efficacy on recalcitrant tennis elbow, has just been published in a peer-reviewed journal.
This large scale clinical trial demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of Astym therapy gives even more reason for referral sources and patients to seek out certified Astym providers. Large controlled clinical trials are very important contributions to the literature, and we are pleased that Astym therapy has joined the rare, elite rank of treatments that have quality clinical trials supporting effectiveness and safety.
Please feel free to download and share this clinical trial: https://peerj.com/articles/967.pdf

The world’s largest wooden city is coming to Stockholm. Announced through Atrium Ljungberg, the firm responsible for the project, Stockholm Wood City is expected to break ground in 2025, with the first completed buildings in 2027. “We are proud to introduce Stockholm Wood City. This is not only an important step for us as a company, but a historic milestone for Swedish innovation capability,” Annica Ånäs, the CEO of Atrium Ljungberg, said in a statement.
Planned in Sickla, which is in the southern part of Stockholm, the city is planned to extend over 2,690,977 square feet. The project includes a variety of construction types and is expected to bring 7,000 new offices and 2,000 new housing units to the area, along with real estate options for stores and restaurants. The development will span 25 blocks and is estimated to be the largest community-built using mass timber upon its completion. “Stockholm Wood City manifests our future. From tenants, there is a strong demand for innovative, sustainable solutions—a demand that we meet with this initiative,” Ånäs added.
To revolutionize the future, designers and architects are increasingly looking to the past, and wood construction remains a prime example of this occurrence. Wood is generally considered more sustainable than steel and concrete, as timber construction emits fewer pollutants. Engineered timber—or man-made timber—can be fireproof as well, which is exceedingly important as forest fires increase in both severity and occurrence due to climate change. Atrium Ljungberg also claims that wood buildings can be better for personal health and that studies have shown they “provide better air quality, reduce stress, increase productivity, and store carbon dioxide throughout the time they are in use.”
Stockholm Wood City hopes to bring these benefits to a larger scale. Though wood construction is increasing, it has mostly been confined to singular structures or blocks. Beliefs that wood is outdated or even dangerous—thanks, in part, to disasters like the Great Chicago Fire—have slowed its use on a wide-scale level, despite efforts from organizations such as the New European Bauhaus to change this reputation. “Our industry leaves a big mark, and it is important for us to make a positive difference in both the shorter and longer term,” Ånäs said.
The world’s largest wooden city is also poised to make commuting easier and shorter, decreasing emissions from transportation. The website for the project describes Stockholm Wood City as a “five-minute city,” denoting that anywhere one would need to go—work, grocery stores, or school, for example—would only be a five-minute walk away. As Ånäs concluded, “We want to create an environment where our customers, those who will live and work here, can participate in the development and design of the city district of the future.”
Focus Estate Fund has begun a transformational journey to convert its entire shopping centre portfolio to solar-powered facilities. The first initiative was inaugurated with the installation of solar panels...

Coeur d’Alene police are urging residents to secure their homes after a prowler gave a homeowner a scare Tuesday morning.
While investigating noises coming from the basement of a home in Coeur d’Alene Place, near Lake City High School, the home’s owner was confronted by an unknown individual who had gained access to the residence.
The intruder fled the home after being confronted. No one was injured.
Although Coeur d’Alene patrol officers arrived in the area within minutes, the intruder was not located and is still at large.
The Coeur d’Alene Police Department is reminding city residents to ensure their homes are secure at all times, especially during the holiday season.
“It is not uncommon for thieves to check the status of and enter unsecured residences and vehicles looking for items that can be quickly taken,” said a statement issued Wednesday by the police department. “As always, if you see suspicious activity and/or individuals in your neighborhood do not hesitate to contact the police.”

Once place of anew life
The sweetness of spring, renewal of green grass,
Fresh rain dripping off the leaves sounds of spring ringing in my ears,
A place of newborn animals held in a bright red barn.
The wonderful memories held in my mind of my home.
Now all I see is dreary rain soaking the barn that once stood,
Now falling apart, broken down useless,
Untouched for nearly a decade
Beams torn down lay in heaps of rubble.
The walls that were standing, now rotting, wasting away.
Chipped paint lay in the piles of hay.
The barn like a puzzle waiting for the pieces to be put back together
In the back of the barn lay a beam; once my favorite place to be,
Holding a wooden swing
A place to think and dream.
Now the only thing left is the broken beam.
No longer anyone to keep the place up;
It is my turn to put the puzzle back together,
One step at a time, building the barn back up.
The reminder next to me, the beam, my memory from the past,
A part of my future
Now back together; home can once again be a place of new life and love.
No longer separate pieces, no longer a puzzle.
Now a place for new memories to be built.
