I always imagined I would stay there, in Maungaraki – nice house, good job, lovely school just down the road, and some wonderful friends. But it was time for a change.\nIn 2015, after some travelling around Europe and Asia, then moving to Australia, I decided to go back to school and I enrolled into Wollongong University, NSW Australia, to complete a Bachelor in Communications and Media Studies.\nMy pic in the background (on this page) is a room within Versailles – I loved being in France!","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://amybeeman.ca/blog/2017/06/run-wine-tour-rest-repeat/","date":"2024-04-16T21:23:38Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817106.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416191221-20240416221221-00461.warc.gz","language_score":0.9782769680023193,"token_count":1064,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2024-18","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__42799327","lang":"en","text":"I’m very yin and yang; I like things to be balanced. I like running half marathons, but I also like vegging out on the couch binge watching Friends re-runs. I can go days without showering while we’re camping, but then I’ll soak in the tub for hours when we get home to get rid of all the dirt.\nSo balance was what I was looking for when I started planning a 40th birthday trip. I wanted a yin yang trip to celebrate the milestone year. I wanted something that would let me rest and relax but also challenge me, mentally and physically. And I also wanted someone to take care of all the details for me. Basically, I wanted someone to plan everything and take care of me. Seems like a tall order, right? Enter Wine Country Trekking.\nWine Country Trekking organizes self-guided, inn-to-inn walking (or running) vacations in California Wine Country. And when I say ‘organizes’ I mean organizes. They take care of everything: from luxurious accommodations to breathtaking treks to incredible wine tours. They even supply lunch and suggest local hotspots for dinner. It was exactly what I wanted. And, fortunately, three of my amazing friends (Angela, Nikki and Faydra) agreed that it was the perfect girls get-away.\nWe chose the Sonoma Valley Runner’s Trek: three days of hiking and running through California state parks followed by wine tastings in some of the most amazing wineries the area has to offer. We wanted to make it a little more challenging so we increased the daily kilometres on each trek. Go big or go home, right?\nOn Day 1 we flew to San Francisco where we rented a car to head up to Sonoma Valley. Our first afternoon, we checked into the beautiful Gaige House Inn and enjoyed some local wine before it was time to rest up for our first day of running.\nDay 2 was a 14km run/hike through Jack London Park, with 900 feet of elevation. We stopped for every photo op we came across and learned a ton about the area (including the tragic stories of the Sonoma State home). And then, to honour the namesake of the park, we stopped at the Jack London Saloon on the way home for a beverage.\nAfter a shower and a quick nap at the hotel, we were off to the Lassiter Family Winery where we were treated to a private wine tasting.\nDay 3 was treacherous. We hiked 12km with an ascent of 2000 feet and a descent of 2300 feet through Hood Mountain Regional Park, which would be challenging on a nice day. Unfortunately, the day we started up the mountain it was cold and rainy (and the clouds blocked all of the amazing views of San Francisco we were promised). The route was wet and slippery and the recent rain turned ‘little creeks you can jump over’ into ‘raging rivers you have to traverse with fallen logs and rope.’ The climb was challenging and the downhill portion was incredibly precarious at times (think hiking down the Grouse Grind in the rain).\nThe idea was to run back to our hotel after we exited the park (for a grand total of 18km), but we were all done; we were cold and exhausted and ready to start the relaxing part of our day. By the time we exited the park, we had just enough time to grab lunch and head to the Kunde Family Estate Winery. Fortunately, a few glasses of wine (and a blanket) will warm you up quite nicely.\nDay 4 was my favourite ‘map’ day. Every day, we (and by we, I mean Nikki) had to follow a map to figure out where we were going. It wasn’t as simple as ‘follow the trail’ (as we had thought it would be). We were on a self-guided trek and the trails constantly forked, branched off and abruptly ended. If you weren’t following the map, you had a very good chance of getting lost (which may have happened a couple of times). First we went through Annabel State Park, which was a relatively easy route to follow. But once we left the park, the directions got interesting.\nWe ran through private property (all approved ahead of time by Wine Country Trekking), climbed gates, met horses, unlocked mystery doors in the middle of nowhere and managed to only take one wrong turn! It was so much fun that 20km flew by.\nOn Day 5 it was time for the epic adventure to come to an end. We left Sonoma Valley with a bit of sadness, but also with an incredible feeling of accomplishment. We pushed ourselves mentally and physically over mountains and trails and even ‘raging rivers.’ But we also enjoyed our downtime with spa visits, delicious meals, many (many!) bottles of wine and tons of laughs.\nAnd I’m so happy to say I did it with these three encouraging and inspiring women. It was the perfect way to celebrate this milestone birthday.\nThank you, my friends.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://support.elzra.com/submit-a-ticket/","date":"2020-04-05T06:32:44Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370529375.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20200405053120-20200405083120-00107.warc.gz","language_score":0.885096549987793,"token_count":166,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2020-16","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-16__0__51126075","lang":"en","text":"Thank you for your understanding.\nBefore contacting us, check out some of these common questions.\nSupport for the German editions of our games is provided by our German publisher, Schwerkraft Verlag.\nHave you completed your Kickstarter Survey?

Some classy racing at the front end with Ari Scott pipping Campbell Pithie by a single point in the overall standings to take the mens title for 2020.

Be it gorgeously planned insides or perfect outsides; there's continuously something to search for with Villas in Marathahalli. Marathahalli, when a town, has arisen as a land center point in Bangalore. Motivations to buy Villas in Marathahalli are: Network: On Bangalore's eastern edges, Marathahalli, situated on the Outer Ring Road (ORR), is a famous business community and a very much evolved private suburb. It is effectively available from Whitefield, HAL, KR Puram, Electronic City, and Banashankari, among different pieces of Bangalore.

Moreover, the arranged ORR Metro Line (Silk Board - KR Puram) is relied upon to be finished by 2023 as a feature of Namma Metro Phase 2A, which will further develop the network with the ORR. Social and Retail Infrastructure: The social and retail framework is all around created, with contiguous schools and medical clinics like Sri Chaitanya School, VIBGYOR High School, Ryan International School, Ekya School ITPL, Medihope Super Specialty Hospital, Sakra World Hospital, and Apollo Cradle. In somewhere around 20 minutes of the area, a few notable shopping centers incorporate Brookfield Mall, Inorbit Mall, and Soul Space Arena Mall. Business Hubs in Marathahalli: Since it takes special care of occupants working in IT stops like RMZ Ecospace, Cessna Business Park, Prestige Tech Park, Salarpuria Hallmark, and Embassy Tech Village, the district upholds the idea of work and walk.

As for all the provinces of the region, also Trapani has an ancient history, which makes it as fascinating and mysterious as the rest of the island. Let's see together some of the most representative cities of the province.\n- The first city I will talk about is Trapani, as well as the capital of the province of the same name. Trapani is a city in western Sicily with a crescent shaped coast. It has about 67 thousand inhabitants. In the western tip, with a view of the Egadi Islands, is the watchtower Tower of Ligny, dating from the seventeenth century, which houses the Museum of Prehistory and Marine Archaeology. To the north of the port, the Church of Purgatory houses wooden sculptures that parade through the city during the Procession of the Mysteries at Easter.

It was a photography exhibit that used images submitted from people living in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood in Vancouver, Canada. We were able to design a set of panels that I was really proud to display in a central part of the neighborhood.\nRather than advertising something specific, we wanted to show parts of the community through peoples’ eyes that you might not notice at first glance. That bike attached to the street sign, the mural on the side of the corner store, the back alleyways, or the building’s reflections in the coffeeshop window all create a piece of the environment of that community.\nIt was more than creating panels that sat on a piece of land.

Albertans saw the fierciest blow of nature in these couple of days and for someone who resides in the southern part of this wonderful province I observed it too. It was beyond anyone's imagination, 40 to 50cm of snow and with a chilly, hitting-the-bone wind made it worse. Roads got stuck, transport got abandoned, schools were called off. I just wondered how quickly things change, how devastating one weather can be in a moment. The mother nature probably has more to offer and probably Mr. Claus would be a little to chilly to come accross Alberta. The weather is predicting one of the worst snowfall and down temperature over Alberta, Canada which means more uncleared streets, more stuck traffic and more traffic collision. I went out today to see the condition almost after literally being jailed for couple of days in house and found things are not same. Mother nature didn't seem short of powder to spray all over Lethbridge. The green turned golden grass buried in white snow and the roads got muddy. The high river bridge stands there all lonely with a gloomy background. Traffic lights are bleak, so are the faces of the people on the bus - no one is enjoying it for sure. When I first came here it didn't hit so hard, and I almost gave myself a false assurance of mild winter this time as well. I thought of finishing the winter with a feeling of survived-and-won. But my dream has been shattered in a cruelest possible way. I felt turned down like a fall leaf on the ground and blown away with reality.

For something is considered one of the most important tourist countries in the world, especially Paris. But of course, although visiting this beautiful country will leave great memories for all those who visit it, it will also have a great reduction in economic level for those tourists (a big blow for the wallets).Tourists have different methods to spend their money when they stay in France, and considering that this is a tourist country after all, like many other European countries, part of its economy, even a small part, is based on the income generated due to those people who are visiting there, so be it to spend the holidays or work. From buying a jewel, a perfume, clothing or a simple gift or trinket in the different stores that are distributed throughout all French cities; or enjoy of the food in local restaurants to taste the exquisite French cuisine; paying the stay in the hotels, if you plan to stay longer than just a clear day. But without a doubt, the aspect in which all the tourists spend more money in their stays in France, is without a doubt the payment of the taxis, since these are the ones that will allow them to go to the places of tourist interest as the museums, parks, gardens, houses of important people of history and other attractions, and this will be the key factor that will allow you to enjoy your stay in the country.\nWhether it is a business trip, or a pleasure trip, if you plan to go to France or if you are already there, there is no better way to enjoy the trip through the French streets, than using the exclusive services offered by the taxi companies, which not only provide security, but also the luxuries that are willing to pay when moving through the country. This type of service has elegant vehicles, drivers trained to provide excellent customer service, beverages, Wi-Fi and also have full-time provision if the client requires it. Having in count that Paris, is one of the most active and important cities in Europe with more than two million inhabitants, and added to that the large number of people who receive constantly whether they are tourists or for work, regardless of the time of year, because this is one of the economic centers of the country. One of the keys that will make your stay satisfactory is to have the best form of transportation that gives you comfort and that meets your expectations in both security and privacy.And at this moment, surely you are wondering: Are French taxis really expensive? How can I identify the taxis in France? Well, all these questions and all your doubt will be answered in this article, where you will not only learn a bit more about these services in the country of romance. Surely if you are planning your next trip to France, these must be some of the questions you must clarify before arriving, to move from one point to another in the French city without any kind of problem.\nCities like Paris, which have more than 20,000 taxis that work in the streets 24 hours a day, except some hours of the night, this already depends on the zones and also on the drivers themselves, and if it is a rush hour or do not. So, being able to get a taxi in France is not a really complicated task.As in Spain, taxi drivers are obliged to take it to their destination. Unfortunately, some of them may decide not to do it by not stopping or simply not taking it to their destination for personal reasons, or because they do not want to do it, or they will want to charge higher prices. Unlike France, where there are specific taxi stops which are always willing to take you to your destination and the price of the trip will be marked by the taximeter and not by the decisions of the driver.\nTaxis in France are common cars just like in other countries. They can be of any model, without any specific color or striking strip. The only thing that identifies and differentiates them from a particular car is the sign in the form of a triangle which is located on the roof of the car with the word “TAXI” written on it. That way you can also differentiate if the taxi is busy (when the sign’s light is on) or if it is not (when the sign’s light is off). Inside the car, the driver must have a taximeter in good condition, and a license plate that identifies the number of his driver’s license.The prices of the trip will depend, of course, on different factors, such as the time of the trip, the function of the time and the day of the week, and, also the destination from a specific point in the city to the destination of the client. Keep in mind that there are three price rates, which are based on these parameters, which are: A, B and C. Each of them is identified with the colors white, orange and blue, respectively. The taxi sign must be illuminated by one of these three colors, identifying the valid rate to charge for that moment.\nSo that tourists can get the best exclusive services of taxis, so that in this way they can enjoy their stay and travel in Paris or throughout France, the taxi companies, in addition to offering the reservation services by phone, in which its managers will be dedicated to the coordination of transport, also use other services such as the use of digital platforms, all this with the intention of providing its users with greater comfort and tranquility, not only at the time of contracting the service, but also at the time of complete the payment of the tourism package. The personnel in charge of the transport are complete professionals, not only qualified in the steering wheel, but also they are knowledgeable of the best routes of access available, so that in this way you can enjoy your trip in the tourist zones and do not waste hours of trip in the car due to roadblocks. In addition to also being able to handle the standards of services for / with the client, thus achieving that time in the transport is a different and tranquil experience, either for work or tourism. Through the digital platforms, you will have details of the vehicle, the assigned driver, the route and the travel time that was established, so you can continuously monitor the contracted service. The prices of the trip will depend on the vehicle and the type of service that has been selected by the client. For those famous or recognized people, both for being part of the artistic world, politicians or businessmen, they confess that these services represent a great advantage in their trips since they recognize that they offer privacy and security, something that is essential when mobilizing for meetings or events of friends and family, or when going to airports, hotels and other places without any distraction, so this type of taxi services not only provide comfort, they also offer the discretion and tranquility that everyone seeks Not only famous, but also those tourists who want a calm and peaceful trip, this is thanks to the fact that the staff assigned at all times ensures that the users feel protected and comfortable.\nThe general price rate with which the taxis start their services varies between 2 Euros and 4 Euros; and the minimum rate for the service can be 5.20 or 7.10 Euros, including all your supplements. The cost per kilometer, from Monday to Saturday with the tariff A, from 10:00 to 17:00 varies between 0.96 and 1.07 Euros. On the other hand, the rate for each kilometer traveled, from Monday to Saturday with the tariff B, it goes from 10:00 to 17:00 has a price that ranges between 1.17 and 1.29 Euros and on Sundays the price varies from 1.21 and Euros 1.29 from 07:00 to 00:00. However, it is well known that the C rate is generally applied every Sunday and has a price that can vary from 1.47 to 1.56 Euros per kilometer traveled from 00:00 to 07:00. However, the extra for a fourth person varies from 2.70 to 4 Euros.“When I came here I didn’t understand so much the rates of the taxis, it’s so different than in Chile, the country where I come from. The charge you for this, and for this, and for this, but it doesn’t matter, I’m here in Paris, and this is a dream that I’ve always wanted to achieve” said a Chilean woman when she was asked about the rates of the taxis in Paris.\nVery late at night, it can happen that the amount of taxis decreases and that the job of getting one is something really complicated and end up being difficult to find, this because not many of them continue working late at night. However, it is recommended to walk to the nearest avenue or to the main street, since these are the areas in which the night taxis tend to pass more frequently. In the day it is more common to find a faster taxi; however, this recommendation also works for these cases if it is difficult to find a taxi at your location.“I was scared because I lost my friends after a show at the Moline Rouge, I left for some minutes, and my phone had died and I didn’t know how to get from that place to the hotel where I was staying. So I was waiting for a taxi, but I didn’t see any one at that hour, it was 2 o’clock and the streets were alone!” said an American man who was asked about the issue of taking taxis at late hours at night in Paris. “So I asked a French couple who was near me, in my pathetic French, where I could take a taxi, and they took me to a main street where the traffic was a little bit fuller. And that’s how I could take a taxi, and I arrived at the hotel in some couple of minutes. My friends were there and they almost decided on calling the police ha, ha, ha. That’s how I learned that I must go to the nearest avenue or main street to take a taxi at late hours at night.”\nIt is also advisable to avoid taking a taxi in the morning before 11:00, and also in the hours between 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., because these are the peak hours and therefore, the streets they are overcrowded and the traffic is very heavy, so it could take you forever to get in a taxi from one place to another.To request and hire the services of personal taxis, whether it is at stops or a telephone reservation, the driver must ensure and establish the service contract and has as a first step to select the location of the meeting site, which will be collected to the client and in turn, take into account the place of destination so that, in this way, the best route and travel time can be established. We must take into account as a customer, the type of taxi car that best meets the demands and in turn, can move comfortably and safely to all people and luggage. These services not only apply in Paris, they also occur in other French cities such as Lyon, Marseille or Bordeaux, among many others. Among the luxury vehicles offered by the taxi companies or the same ones that are at the stops, there may be simple brands like Volkswagen, Peugeot 205, even luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and Jaguar, which are First class models, with cutting edge technology that offers its users an exceptional means of transport.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://www.jaydupuisaselvis.com/latest-news","date":"2023-09-25T13:15:28Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233508977.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20230925115505-20230925145505-00201.warc.gz","language_score":0.9312000870704651,"token_count":282,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-40","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-40__0__310950489","lang":"en","text":"JAY SET TO HEADLINE THE NIAGARA FALLS ELVIS FESTIVAL\nCanada is the only country outside of the US where Elvis performed on stage.

What a unique concept: Not using the car to drive to one's destination but to leave the car - and with that a piece of mundane everyday life - behind on the mainland to travel by ship to the island. This is an \"adventure\" right from the start.\nOther islands I visited in the past never provided what I looked for in an island: An easy to take in size and \"lay of the land\" with a shoreline always within easy reach. Any incoming or leaving ship should be heard as well as the ever-present voices of the seabirds. All of that I found on \"my island\" - and so much more: hospitality, tolerance, and cosmopolitanism - what a loveable and dear mixture!\nI am actually not very fond of walks but that's different here as well: The feeling of being closer to one's destination as soon as setting out on a walk, to be never more than half an hour away from \"home,\" this is something I know only from Helgoland. It is virtually impossible to become lost...\nAt night, the lighthouse floods the vast ocean with its beacon and - like a benevolent star - serves as an orientation tool at the same time since it is visible from anywhere on the island. Here on the island I can be alone without being lonely. I can relax and recuperate and find back to my old self.\nHoly Island - I will always treasure you for this.\nCharity Campaign (completed at October 2009):\nThis CD is available for a nominal charge of 5 EUR.

Many clients are surprised to learn that - when building a house - size, generally speaking (and within reason), has very little bearing on the requisite leadtime.\nMost often, the limiting factor on the leadtime required to complete a building project are the logistical issues such as drying time on plastering and screeds, which can tend to halt progress intermittently.\nThe specification of a given project may also have a bearing on the required time. Obviously more intricate and complex construction projects may require longer to complete. However even in more basic projects, we find that the procurement of building materials can often present unexpected delays, since, given the current economic climate, many manufacturers of products such as slates, bricks and roof tiles, operate a 'just-in-time' model which means ultimately that they carry a limited amount of stock. Clients requiring fast turnaround should be mindful of the materials which they specify, or which are specified by their architect.\nFeel free to contact McQuillan Building Contractors today to discuss the implications of your approved plan, on the time required for completion.\nThe area - and perhaps more accurately the immediate vicinity - in which you live in Northern Ireland, or the Republic of Ireland may well have a bearing on the finishes which are available to you when building your house. For example it tends to be more 'creative or aesthetic freedom' available in towns than in rural areas, however it is probably fair to say that this question would be better directed toward your chosen architect. The requirements of planning change so frequently that it would be difficult to advise, particularly on a website, as to the actual requirements of your local council. We would advise that you seek counsel of your architect on this issue.\nThe regulations regarding sightlines vary from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland, and indeed from house to house, however your architect will be happy to advise in this regard.\nYes. Patrons who have received a tender for quotation from McQuillan Building Contractors, can be certain that it includes everything required in terms of man-hours and peripheral materials such as plant and building materials, to construct the house as set out in the approved plans. Furthermore McQuillan Building Contractors are fully insured for all third-party plant rental which may be required the completion of the project. It is worth noting that in actual fact, many plant rental companies do not ensure vehicles or plant which they lease to building firms or the general public, in Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland. McQuillan Building Contractors' insurance guarantees that this does not become a problem for its clients.\nMcQuillan Building Contractors Northern Ireland have no firm allegiances in regard to the supply of materials on a given instruction project. Many clients in both Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and UK choose to supply their own materials, or have in place a relationship to at least facilitate this. If required, Building Contractors can supply a list of preferred partners whose materials and services we know and trust. Where possible McQuillan Building Contractors Northern Ireland are happy to help our clients avail of any trade discounts offered to us.\nIdeally, before any construction takes place, clients wishing to instruct McQuillan Building Contractors in the build of their new home, should have the following elements in order.\n• Purchase of site\n• Any existing covenants are assessed and removed where required\n• Northern Ireland electricity\n• British Telecom\n• Water service Northern Ireland application\n• Sightlines finalised and agreed\nAt this point clients should also have a general idea the style of house they require, and the budget at their disposal in order to make this happen.\nIn short, there is no limit to the size of the job at McQuillan Building Contractors can undertake, either in terms of cost or scale. McQuillan Building Contractors is scalable to facilitate several concurrent projects at any one time within Ireland. We are at home working on smaller renovations, as well as on larger projects.\nMcQuillan Building Contractors is happy to cover all of Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and UK and projects of all sizes.

We have worked on several commercial and retail projects within Northern Ireland (mid Ulster region) and both references and examples of our work in this regard can be forwarded upon request.\nAt present, McQuillan Building firm has not undertaken building work on a listed project. However, one of our founding partners enjoy a long history in building control in Northern Ireland, and as such we have substantial knowledge of the area and are confident of our ability in this regard. Clients who require a building firm in Northern Ireland to work on a listed project, should contact firstname.lastname@example.org\nWhilst this is not our core business, McQuillan Building Contractors has considerable experience dealing with timber framed housing and are happy to undertake such work.\nAs with many building firms in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the UK, McQuillan Building Contractors terms and conditions are such that payment is typically phased. This offers peace of mind to our clients, and enables the workflow to continue unabated for the fast and efficient turnaround of your building project.\nMcQuillan Building Contractors understands however that building your own home can sometimes be complicated in terms of financing. In some circumstances, McQuillan Building Contractors, Northern Ireland is willing to negotiate terms of payment in order to help prevent its clients from having to deal with the headache of bridging loans etc, since mortgages are often not released by the bank until your building contractor reaches wall plate and roof level.

Any new house built within Northern Ireland is zero rated, which means that absolutely no VAT is applicable on the cost of building. Further to this, the majority of houses which are built with the aid of grant money from the Northern Ireland Housing executive are also immune to taxation.\nHouse extensions and house renovations are however subject to VAT in the majority of instances.\nClients whose building projects are subject to VAT, should be advised that McQuillan building contractors submit VAT payment to HM revenue and Customs on a quarterly basis on all building work conducted within Northern Ireland.\nWe are happy to report that at the time of writing, McQuillan Building Contractors have not missed an agreed deadline on any project which was not affected by inevitable variation or client requests not laid out within the initial specification. Our commitment and our ethos is to do the job well, and to do it on time.\nIf agreed within the initial contract, McQuillan Building Contractors will be happy to honour weekly remuneration to the client for each week that the project runs over as a result of any issue which is deemed to be exclusively within the remit of McQuillan Building Contractors. The amount payable by McQuillan Building Contractors is subject to contract.\nIn order to assist with the planning and purchasing of materials such as fixtures and fittings will, a programme of works can be provided if required.\nAbsolutely not!.

The storm was expected to produce 4-8in of rain in the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands.\nA hurricane warning was in effect for Andros Island, New Providence, Eleuthera, Abacos Islands, Berry Islands, Grand Bahama, Bimini, Acklins, Crooked Island, Long Cay, the Inaguas, Mayaguana, Ragged Islands, Cat Island, the Exumas, Long Island, Rum Cay and San Salvador.\nAbaco and Grand Bahama were battered last year by Dorian, a category 5 storm that hovered for two days and killed at least 70 people, with more than 280 missing. People are still living in tents on both islands, and officials said crews were trying to remove leftover debris.\nPaula Miller, Mercy Corps director for the Bahamas, said that while the islands can normally withstand strong hurricanes, they have been destabilized by Dorian and the coronavirus pandemic.\n“With everything not quite shored up, property not secured, home not prepared, even a category 1 will be enough to set them back,” she said.\nThe Bahamas has reported more than 500 confirmed Covid-19 cases and at least 14 deaths. It has barred travelers from the US. Given the pandemic, the prime minister urged young people to stay safe and respect social distancing measures.\n“Please do not engage in hurricane or Covid parties,” Hubert Minnis said. “It can be devastating.”\nMinnis relaxed a coronavirus lockdown but imposed a 10pm-to-5am curfew. He said supermarkets, pharmacies, gas stations and hardware stores would be allowed to open if weather permitted. Bahamas Power and Light Company warned it would cut power in certain areas for safety, starting on Friday night.\nStephen Russell, director of the Bahamas’ Emergency Management Agency, said there were no plans to evacuate but urged those living in low-lying areas to seek shelter.\nOn Thursday, while still a tropical storm, Isaias toppled trees, destroyed crops and caused flooding and small landslides in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, where hundreds of thousands were left without power and water. Officials reported that a man died in the Dominican Republic when he was electrocuted by a fallen electrical cable.\nThe Puerto Rico national guard rescued at least 35 people from floodwaters. One woman remained missing.\nOfficials in Florida said beaches, marinas and parks in Miami-Dade county would close, beginning on Friday night. The mayor, Carlos Giménez, said the county had 20 evacuation centers that could be set up with Covid-19 safety measures.\n“We still don’t think there is a need to open shelters for this storm, but they are ready,” he said.\nThe NHC said heavy rains “may begin to affect south and east-central Florida beginning late Friday night, and the eastern Carolinas by early next week, potentially resulting in isolated flash and urban flooding, especially in low-lying and poorly drained areas”.\nA hurricane watch was in effect from north of Deerfield Beach to the Volusia-Brevard county line.\nFlorida’s governor, Ron DeSantis, said: “Florida is fully prepared for this and any future storm during this hurricane season” with stockpiles of personal protective equipment, generators, bottled water and meals. But he urged people to have seven days of food, water and medication ready.\nState-run coronavirus testing sites will be closed, he said, “because they’re outdoors with tents, if it were to get 40-, 50-mile-per-hour winds, it would just collapse. Safety is paramount for that.”\nGiménez said social-distancing measures prompted by Covid-19 mean each person in shelters needs 40 sq ft. People who are infected would be isolated, he said.\nIn Daytona Beach and Polk county, authorities began distributing sandbags and officials advised people to prepare three days to a week of emergency provisions.\nAuthorities in North Carolina ordered the evacuation of Oracoke Island, which was slammed by Hurricane Dorian, starting on Saturday evening.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://kundalini.ch/tag/wild-country/","date":"2019-06-17T18:47:39Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998558.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190617183209-20190617205209-00163.warc.gz","language_score":0.6979068517684937,"token_count":186,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-26","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-26__0__122607021","lang":"en","text":"Andy Trunz von Wild Country erklärt das Revo.

Although I live in a large and cosmopolitan city like Barcelona, one of the things that surprised me most about the city is that pedestrians, in general, they were speeding. At all hours. In all age groups. Even exceeding the speed I developed when I was in a hurry.\nYou can read with more profusion of details my experience in Five things I can't stand in London (II): the extreme speed of the people.\nThis characteristic of Londoners acquired macabre dyes when they walked the corridors of the subway, especially the escalators. There people kept running, moving forward, jumping, dribbling, to the point that the accidents on the stairs of the London Underground had led to an awareness campaign for users to stop running.\nBut To what extent are all these idiosyncratic perceptions of a traveler or a tourist? Is London an exception? Now we walk faster than before?\nAccelerating the rhythm of the legs and tongue\nAccording to an analysis carried out in 2007 on pedestrians in 34 cities around the world, the average pedestrian walks almost 4.5 kilometers per hour. It is a considerable speed. Especially if we consider that only ten years ago, it was at a rate 10% lower.\nIn fact, in cities like Denmark, people even speak 20% faster than ten years ago.\nThese data contrast, however, with those collected by Bill bryson in his book about the United States Stories of a great country, in which he says that the average American takes the car even to go buy the bread around the corner.\nBryson says that this laziness is nothing strange in the United States, as a researcher at the University of Berkeley concluded that 85% of Americans are essentially sedentary and that 35% are totally. The average American walks less than 120 kilometers a year: just over 2 kilometers per week, just 350 meters a day.\nWalking fast is a great way to burn calories, although running is preferable: ss the conclusion reached by researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California after a 6-year study with 15,237 people who walk regularly and 32,216 who go running several times a week.\nAccording to research, weight loss and variation in Body Mass Index(BMI) can be up to 90% higher for every hour dedicated to running instead of walking, especially in overweight and obese people, according to the specialized magazine Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.\nAnyway, at least it will be an advantage for my cardiovascular health to return to the adrenalinic London and start running in front of the subway users so as not to be overwhelmed.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://miamicochamber.com/economic_development.html","date":"2019-04-19T20:49:39Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578528058.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20190419201105-20190419223105-00302.warc.gz","language_score":0.9435269832611084,"token_count":324,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-18","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-18__0__10323453","lang":"en","text":"Thank you for taking the time to visit Miami County’s website.

Most people refer to it as Queen of the Giant Crystal localities. These giant crystals are of notable dimensions but unfortunately they are not nice or aesthetic in real sense. It’s amazing to watch the giant crystals in the interior of the earth which are so large and you can easily walk among them. Interestingly you get to watch enormous vugs full of glittering crystals. Actually Naica Mine the place to be to have a look at the real giant crystal that you can never find anywhere else in the world. The mine was discovered in 1910, this is when the first crystal caves were discovered. The depth of the crystal was 120m underground. Naica mines are owned by the company known as Penoles Company that extract lead-Zinc from mines. Among these caves there is one which goes by the name Cave of the Swords which is known for extra large sword like salenite crystals of up to 2m.the cave supplies large quantities with magnificent selenite crystals to mineralogical and collections around the world. The cave is a single huge chamber and which is accessible to the public and geoscientist. To get to the crystal you just have to follow a narrow winding path which cuts across the forest. However, as much as the caves beauty is noticeable, as time passes on, the caves lost its luster and splendor. In 2001 the Cave of the Crystal was discovered. This was much more spectacular than the original discovery of 1910. In fact it is a combination of complex system of caves along a geological fault that yield free growing gypsum crystals of up to 12m in size and 2m in diameter. Exploration of the caves is a bit difficult because of its unbearable temperatures. Great photos and some of the most attractive wall papers are taken from this cave.\nReasons Why People Fall in Love With San Miguel de Allende 1) History As of late recorded as an UNESCO World Heritage Site, San Miguel de Allende is named after General Ignacio Allende, an unmistakable figure in Mexico's War of Independence. The city's rich history goes back to 1542 when it assumed a critical part as a center in the silver exchange. 2) Architecture San Miguel de Allende is known for its very much safeguarded Colonial and Spanish structural planning. The tallest building in the city, with a façade of pink limestone, is the Parroquia de San Miguel Archangel. The gothic façade for this neighborhood ward church was enlivened by Gaudi's Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. As per legend, its draftsman, Zeferino Gutierrez utilized a photo postcard for motivation. 3) Eclectic Shops The shops in San Miguel de Allende are a blend of craftsmanship exhibitions, keepsake shops, cutting edge boutiques, and old stores like this drug store (Botica De Santa Teresita) that has doled out reasonable homeopathic solutions for hundreds of years. 4) Cultural Mix With a mild atmosphere, lively workmanship scene, and moderate typical cost for basic items, San Miguel de Allende is rich in Mexican culture as well as draws in numerous outside retirees, craftsmen and essayists, prevalently from the U.S. also, Canada. With the monetary downturn, more vacationers are originating from different urban communities in Mexico and different nations. 5) Food & Dining Since San Miguel de Allende is so famous with voyagers, there has been an expansion of foodie destinations, from road food to gourmet eateries. Enrique Olvera, a standout amongst the most noticeable culinary specialists in Mexico, manages Moxy Restaurant at Hotel Matilda. Situated in a yard of the lodging, the menu accentuates creative dishes made with new, by regional standards sourced fixing 6) Walkability The memorable focus of San Miguel includes 24 pieces of thin avenues, rear ways, and ways with no activity lights. Despite the fact that the city is very walkable as far as separations, the uneven cobblestone lanes can be risky, particularly for somebody wearing the wrong shoes.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.suwanpalmbeachresort.com/index.html","date":"2017-08-21T04:23:04Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886107490.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20170821041654-20170821061654-00475.warc.gz","language_score":0.8953501582145691,"token_count":391,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2017-34","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-34__0__83451037","lang":"en","text":"Suwan Palm Beach Resort is quite a landmark on beautiful Nang Thong Beach, Khao Lak.

It’s a partnership that makes so much sense, and we wanted to share some details with you.\nFor us, as presidents of the two companies, the partnership is particularly synergetic. We have known each other and collaborated for years, and we consider each other friends as well as colleagues. We share an ethos and a passion for exploration and discovery, and we both vigorously pursue travel as a means of conservation. Though we came to this industry through very different routes – Sven via Switzerland and Africa with camera in hand and Ben via New Jersey and New Hampshire where he was an admittedly mediocre school teacher – we also have a lot in common.\nOn a very basic level, one could say that our new partnership makes sense because Lindblad operates on water and Nat Hab primarily does land, and to a degree, that is true. But the logic goes much deeper than that. We’ve spent a combined 80 years creating unique and meaningful travel experiences, finding those rare undiscovered areas around the globe or changing the way we explore those areas that have already been discovered. Innovation has been a core competency at our companies and, going forward; we will put our heads together in the pioneering spirit that led each of us to enter the adventure travel field so long ago. When it comes to the creation of inventive and inspiring travel products, our guests will soon see that the whole truly will be greater than the sum of its parts.\nAlso not to be lost in this deal is the meaningful impact our collaborative work will have on preserving the planet and its inhabitants. Our ground-breaking conservation partnerships – Lindblad’s agreement with National Geographic runs through 2025 and Natural Habitat Adventures just extended its exclusive partnership with WWF through 2023. Both partnerships allow our guests to benefit from the broad scientific knowledge that is unique to each of these highly respected organizations and serve to enhance the positive economic effect of sustainable tourism on local communities. Our mutual vision for the future of travel includes a concentrated focus on conservation.\nSince you likely represent both of our companies in the travel industry community, we’d like to convey to you what our new partnership is not, and that is a merging of our businesses. Each company pursues our individual agenda very well, and we will continue to focus on just that. We will maintain two totally separate brands and two entirely different operations, with Lindblad remaining in New York and Seattle and Natural Habitat Adventures staying in Boulder, Colorado. You will continue to work with each of our companies individually just as you have in the past, and continue to work with each of us as separate entities. Lindblad Expeditions and Natural Habitat Adventures have a lot in common, to be sure, but we are not jeopardizing our individuality and hard-won loyalty by combining operations.\nSo, there you have it. We hope this brief explanation helps shed some light on the background and purpose of this exciting new partnership. We are very much looking forward to our future together and with the travel industry community at our sides.\nYours in discovery,\nSven Lindblad and Ben Bressler","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://stephanieevergreen.com/election-night-trap-map/","date":"2024-02-23T22:43:15Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474470.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223221041-20240224011041-00169.warc.gz","language_score":0.9512877464294434,"token_count":190,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2024-10","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__130836242","lang":"en","text":"Since none of us can escape election coverage, no doubt you’ve seen voter and poll data displayed on some unusual maps. 538 is showing electoral votes as a hex map (made up of hexagons) and the Wall Street Journal did the same as a tile map (made up of tiles, or squares).

People may live in one state most of the year, then head to warmer territory and a second home in the winter. Or, they may own vacation homes that they use irregularly throughout the year.\nUnfortunately, this can create some confusion with their estates when they pass away since the estate must be probated in the state where the decedent lived – and that’s not necessarily the same state where they died.\nEstablishing the deceased’s residence at the time of their death\nIn order to make sure the probate is handled in the proper jurisdiction, you need to determine which state counted as your loved one’s “residence” for all practical purposes.\nTo decide where to file probate, you can look at any evidence that suggests which state the decedent truly called home, such as:\n- The state where their driver’s license or state ID was issued\n- Where they were registered to vote\n- The address they used on their taxes and other important documents\n- Which state they lived in the longest\n- Any evidence that indicated the deceased intended their latest relocation to be permanent\nBut, what about their real estate holdings in the non-residential state? Those will have to be handled through what is called ancillary probate since all real estate must be probated in the state where it exists. The rules for that process vary from state to state, which makes understanding which state has primacy over the estate critical.\nIf you’re unsure or the situation is just unclear, you may need to seek the court’s ruling on the issue before probate can proceed.

The meeting bore the theme “Strengthening Asset Recovery Initiatives to Enhance Regional Economic Growth” and was hosted by the Federal Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (FEACC) of Ethiopia.\nThis meeting was attended by EAAACA members from Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda and South Sudan. The Zanzibar Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Authority (ZAECA) was also in attendance. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the World Bank Stolen Asset Recovery (StAR) initiative and the German Development Cooperation (GIZ) were represented at the meeting.\nThe AGM was officially opened by H.E. Mr. Yalew Abate, the Speaker of the House of Federation of Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. While delivering his keynote address, H.E. Mr. Abate informed participants that African countries have renewed their commitment to join hands in fighting corruption in the continent by launching the year 2018 as the African Anti-Corruption Year in the African Union’s 30th Assembly of Heads of State and Government that was held in Addis Ababa in January 2018.\nHe further stated that the Ethiopian Government believed that the active participation of all stakeholders, including the civil society, Government organizations, the private sector, political parties, professional associations and the media in the struggle against corruption will speed up the eradication of corruption.\nWhile speaking during the opening ceremony, the EAAACA President Mr. Valentino Mlowola, who is also the Director General of the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) of Tanzania, said that international anti-corruption networks facilitate dialogue amongst agencies that provide real operational results. He added that these networks are very crucial in coordinating our activities, one of the key areas being the facilitation of Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA), which is important in asset recovery. “We are then able to trace stolen assets across the borders and also apprehend the culprits,” said Mr. Mlowola.\nFurther, Mr. Mlowola said that there was need to put in place mechanisms that will enable respective agencies trace assets across the region adding that “one of our goals should be to have laws that will inhibit the corrupt from enjoying the proceeds of corruption.”\nThe EACC delegation was led by the Commission Secretary / CEO, Mr. Halakhe D. Waqo. During the meeting, Mr. Waqo, for Kenya, was elected for the position of Vice-President, a position he will hold for the next two years.\nThe Executive Committee’s proposed some resolutions that were passed by the Annual General Meeting as outlined in the Communiquéof the 11th Annual General Meeting of the East Africa Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities held at Elilly International Hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 21st to 22nd February, 2018.\nAlongside this meeting, the Asset Recovery Inter-Agency Network for Eastern Africa (), held its 3rd AGM at the same venue on 20th of February, 2018. The ARIN-EA was established by EAAACA to support the Association in the area of Asset Recovery. It brought together Focal Points from EAAACA member countries. Kenya was represented by Focal Points from EACC and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).\nThe opening ceremony was officiated by the EAAACA President Mr. Valentino Mlowola who said that this year’s theme, “Strengthening Asset Recovery Initiatives to Enhance Regional Economic Growth”, was arrived at because asset recovery is high on the global agenda and that, we, in the region, “should also have it high on our agenda.” He urged the ARIN-EA Focal Points to come up with strategies on how to effectively trace assets within the region.\nBy Corporate Communications Department\nEthics and Anti-Corruption Commission\nPublication & Reports","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.lotoins.com/detail-113.html","date":"2019-10-19T20:16:42Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986697760.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20191019191828-20191019215328-00350.warc.gz","language_score":0.9537065029144287,"token_count":87,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-43","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-43__0__45736388","lang":"en","text":"I am located in Germany, and I check it from AMAZON.

The aim of study was to assay the prevalence of still birth at 28th week of gestation or later. In addition, it strove to identify the factors associated with stillbirth among women in Eastern Ethiopia in 2021.\nMethods: The design of the study was cross-sectional, and it was conducted at a public hospital, Harar, in Ethiopia, from March 10 to May 10, 2021. A census sampling method was used to select 336 participants for the study. Information on socio-demographic status, maternal health, pregnancy, labor, and birth outcome was collected through a structured checklist. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to identify factors associated with still birth.\nResults: In this study, the prevalence of stillbirth was 12.6%. In bivariate analysis, mother age, place of residence, premature rupture of membranes, antepartum hemorrhage, gestational age, hypertensive disorder, congenital anomaly, partograph use during pregnancy, and the previous history of still birth among mothers were significantly associated with stillbirth.

In this regards, three sessions and a round table were held with the participation of representatives from the research community, decision-makers, representatives from financial institutions, the private sector and international donors. Discussions during the sessions focused on the following aspects:\n- Analysing the macroeconomic environment in the southern Mediterranean countries and examining its impact on the development of the private sector.\n- Analysing obstacles that hamper the development of the private sector and SMEs. Emphasis was placed on some examples of good practices for developing and strengthening the private sector and SMEs , such as : The “Enhancement of the Business Environment in the Southern Mediterranean” (EBESM) project, the Lebanese initiative \"KAFALAT\", which aims to facilitate the access of SMEs and start-ups to funding; and the Moroccan experience in private sector development through CNEA’s achievements.\n- Discussing the role of the international community in developing a dynamic private sector in the region and exploring new approaches from all the attending organisations namely: the European Commission, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and ANIMA.\nAt the end of this meeting, emphasis was put on the importance of adopting a holistic approach to ensure that policies adopted encourage the private sector, by stressing the need to provide incentives to support transition from the informal to the formal sector.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.accenttaxis.com/English-version.html","date":"2014-07-28T08:16:16Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510257966.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011737-00304-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz","language_score":0.8019638657569885,"token_count":406,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2014-23","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2014-23__0__108050978","lang":"en","text":"Our company of taxis is specialized in the reception of the persons in the arrived of the airport of Marseille Provence to lead you directly to your secondary place of residence, your hotel so for your return you professional (seminaries, congress)\nOn the region of Marseille Provence it is recommended to reserve its taxi to avoid an endless wait.\nWe also organize organised trips on all Provence.\nThe charms of Marseille with its Old Port of 2600 years of history, Our Lady of the Guarding, its creeks, his canebière, its fish soup.\nWe shall also make you discover the region of the massif of Alpilles, Avignon, st Remy of Provence, as well as all these monuments Bridge of the Gard, the mill of Daudet, Nostradamus, Glanum, Isle onSorgue\nThe creeks of Black currant by following the quotations to finish on the bay of Saint-Tropez\nWe have a fleet of ten vehicule, partially which of the mercedes classify E, monospaces mercedes 9 places.\nHesitez not no to contact us by e-mail for any information complementaire on our services.\nClick the image this below to join us\nwant excuse our English mediocre\ntaxi aeroport de Marseille, taxi Vitrolles,\ntaxi rognac, taxi agréé marseille,\nmarseille, taxi velaux, taxi tours, taxi airport Marseille, taxi\ntransfert marseille, taxi vip, taxi marseille monospace, taxi berre\nl'etang,taxi coudoux,taxi Marseille tarif, taxi Marseille cb, taxi guide marseille, visite Marseille en taxi, taxi vsl, salon de provence, 6th World Water forum, capital européenne de la culture Marseille 2013","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://biancamierlea.com/blog/my-experience-in-viscri-saxon-village-in-romania/","date":"2024-02-23T17:10:59Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474440.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223153350-20240223183350-00866.warc.gz","language_score":0.9858376383781433,"token_count":354,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2024-10","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__101661303","lang":"en","text":"A few weeks ago I visited Viscri which is a small, but beautiful village in Romania.

I cannot even begin to express my respect for the attention to detail of the staff of this website to read every single posting to ensure all things correspond with the goals and objectives of the body. The down-side, of course, is that in some of the more fluid projects, like the creation of any community, the article contents are no longer accurate or necessarily conclusive after six or eight or ten months. That, however, is not necessarily a bad thing either. If you, my audience, were to read the posting-dates, add six months for good measure, and plot a time-line, it would be reasonable to plant a scene of how the project changed and had grown. No pun intended. That said, This is a new update for a huge, fresh chapter in the Tir Tairngire Ecovillage; one that changes all the rules.\nAllow me to explain the time-line a little bit so we may begin on the same page, as it were; since 2002 the 44 acres (17.8 hectares) that the ecovillage would one day be built upon has been opened, in spirit, to me. My father owns the deed that had been passed on to him by his father and his grandparents. This land is in St. Fintan’s, Newfoundland, Canada, in an unzoned region of rural area without a town council, municipal water or sewer. We DO have Newfoundland Power poles with Eastlink cable television, telephone and high speed internet, though eastlink is not quite as far down the road as my site, yet. That isn’t even the big news!\nAs of August, 2012, I have applied for a Crown Lands Lease, through the Dept of Lands for the procurement of deed for an additional 44 acres, including a service road, adjacent to the property in question. Both blocks are 100m (~330′) wide, and 1700m (just over a mile) long; a total of 200m in new width. The service road was built by the Newfoundland Department of Forestry to act as a “woods road” for those who use with pulpwood permits. If I secure this property, after a long battle with the Newfoundland Department of Agriculture, I will also secure private ownership of this road. The lease is for agricultural purposes, and has very strict rules; but that’s a battle for another day. The lease will be annual, and less than $100.00 per year for all this land.\nThis new change has allowed us a significant greater opportunity with new rules. We cannot build permanent structures (such as residences) on the crown land. It must be devoted to disposable uses, such as barns, sheds, greenhouses, which can be dismantled easily and readily should the land change hands (which I have no intention of letting that happen). Also, there must be a needs analysis, an environmental impact assessment, and many other documents that I wanted to have anyway. Furthermore, certain acreage must be CLEARED each year. Trees removed, de-stumped, and ultimately, topsoil destroyed. Farming in Canada is a terrible burden on the soil, “Industrial Monocropping” is a blight upon the farming community. I need to establish a firm foundation of permauclture, hugelkultur (likely using ridges, swales and raised-beds) and forest gardening. I want to have strips and clearings among the wooded crownland section, with boardwalks, and so on.\nNow, the logistics. Each road is named for a tree, in alphabetical order. Ash, Birch, Cedar, Dogwood, Elder, Fir, Ginko, Holly, Ironwod, Juniper, Kiwi, Larch, Maple, Nectarine, Oak, Pine, Quince and Rowan. Each is a branch, a right-hand turn, off of the “Main Street” which is the woods reservation. Each road, or “(Name) Place”, is 200m long, and bisects the entire property. These will be professionally built dirt roads, dug down and bedded properly. The relatively low traffic on the roads will help with longevity, may even consider lime-stabilization to add some life to the project’s infrastrcture.\nNow, Ash and Birch place will not have any homes on them. Ash is separating The Grove (The wooded section between the asphalt highway and the property within) and Caili Park (the 600′ by 300′ playground). Birch place separates Caili Park and the first of the farms and homes, and will have three infrastructure buildings on it. These will be a headquarters/office place, and maybe a dorm for visitors. From then on, Cedar (3rd) through Quince (17th), the design suggests 6 seasonal cottages per “place”, each on a 10,000 sqft block of land. This land is designed to accommodate the 2-3 bedroom cottage (perhaps 20′ x 20′ or a little larger), with or without basement, as well as the workspace which will be significantly larger, as much as 50% larger than the home. These will be where the cottage industries are facilitated; pottery (Solar-electric kilns and Leach-type kick-wheels, blacksmithy (using solar-electric induction forges, rather than coal or LPG), carpentry (hand-tools and organic paints, pitch and so on), Herbalism (with devoted greenhouses, homeopathy, and masters making simples, tinctures and salves, as well as preparation of herbs, spices, potpourri, and other pagan-y goodness, and food preparation and preservation), an aide station where animals and humans alike can discover healing, we need industries for textiles (a spinner to weave our plant and animal fibers into spools, a facility for our knitters and knitting machines, as well as a seamstress, tailor and looming equipment). Six workshops will exist inside each neighborhood for redundancy and attention to detail. As the community grows, the workshops will specialize more and more until a master sits on every stool.\nIn the mission to spread the word of our mission, to provide a cohesive advantage and the why to the ecovillages what, we created the idea of the Ecovillage foundation. At the date of this article’s composition, August 18th, 2012, that goal is very much alive. The Tir Tairngire Foundation will be an official non-profit sister organization who’s sole mandate will be to catalog and distribute the research data, free of charge. But we need income to purchase that which we cannot harvest on our own site, such as electrical cable, solar cells, specialty woods and technology like the Induction Forge, and so on. To that end, myself and Karen Wilcox-Gorman had been discussing farmers markets targetted at the population at the South Western corner of the island of Newfoundland, from Deer Lake 200km north of the site, to Port Aux Basques 100km south, and all points in between. Upwards of 50,000 people live in this region, and we will have access to much of those who are willing to travel to these events. In the discussion of how to go about it, we wished to keep our solid assets as low as possible, as well as the required man-hours. We wished to not be burdened by property and real estate in several locations, and then the burden to afford them becomes an issue, by way of staff, supplies and insurances, to speak nothing of the purchase or construction cost. The solution was rather simple: Trucks.\nThe conclusion was that if we were to purchase a 40′ moving truck, similar to the models that UHAUL issue regularly, which employ disk brakes rather than airlocks to avoid certifications, we could have mobile farmers markets. Fueled, possibly, by our own harvested biodiesel, we could maintain them in-house as best we can (understanding the pollution and garbage “expenses”), and mobilize them as we see fit. We can find sites to park them, and modify them as we wish, with all the artisan and craftmanship of the old gypsy caravans. Hydraulics could move the modified walls out to form canopies, and lower decks to form a bridge. The entire inside could be designed much like the old grocery lots, where customers make requests and the GROCER (not a cashier) serves them individually. Several people could man (at the risk of sounding gender-biased) each side of the mobile unit, and each morning the staff of that day could stock the vehicle with only the freshest produce and crafts. In the winter we could facilitate craft shows, selling preserves, pottery, fabric and woodworking. In the summer we could sell berries, baked goods, and so on. Cash-only, or trade for other resources. Imagine the assets we could accumulate, and the connections, if we can feed a starving family who is willing to harvest proper timber from the woods on their pulpwood permits for use in our lumber mills? We would not only be facilitating a service to the community, but also keeping our needs met in the process. As mobile, we can get around certain legal issues, and can move with the markets, including large public gatherings like Canada Day celebrations, Salmon Festival, Strawberry Festival and Blueberry Festival (You really have to be a Newfoundlander to appreciate the SCALE of these events)\nEach household is built upon a 10,000 square foot area, and no more than 600 feet away, have access to a 10,000 square foot farming area. The building lot is where any animals will be lodged, on a rotating grazing operation designed my myself and Karen, which will be adapted to each type of animal. If a household wishes to raise 50 or 100 chickens, they can have a huge area of nearly 8000 square feet to free-range them to the best of the earth’s fertility and the animal’s tastes. Make it ducks, turkeys or geese and the numbers change, but the area stays the same. Each lot is a carbon-copy in perimeter, but each one will be custom designed for our needs. Further, each farming lot will be designed for a very specific purpose, be it hugulkultur for raising basic-needs crops, like all the vegetables required by the neighborhood to survive, en-mass, with enough surplus to sell at the farmers market. All members of the neighborhood will share in the responsibility of tending to those fields. Each additional field will be designed a little differently, perhaps growing industrial crops, or a vast area of greenhouses designed for medicinal herbs that cannot grow in our local soil/climate, or a field of fruiting trees. We cannot forget that whatever we grow for ourselves, we must also grow animal food for our pets and our livestock; I’ve made that mistake (in my calculations) before. Each neighborhood of 6 cottages will have 6 industries and 5 fields; the 6th field will be a parking lot with a loading zone for the Market Truck and 13 spaces for cars, carts, trucks or similar.\nIn the mission to discover what animals we intend to raise, we wish to keep the land-use as fundamental as possible, that means no animals with HUGE food-conversion ratios like horses (perhaps MUCH later when we really specialize in our assets) and animals that require large pasture land like cows. We will, instead, devote ourselves to more mobile animals like chickens, goats and perhaps pigs. Animals that can be free-range, but are less fundamentally based upon grazing. This is one means for us to reduce our carbon footprint and require less actual tangible land for our living expenses, as it were. We also require to have multi-use animals were possible, where chickens lay eggs, can then be slaughtered and the feather/down can be used for many purposes. I have even read that chicken leather is a commodity in some cultures. We expect to only use heritage breeds that do not require heavy medication and inoculations, hardy and cold-tolerant. Tamworth pigs, for example, and icelandic goats.\nPets are an issue, and allergies notwithstanding, we wish the use of animal labour as well as any other sort. Certain breeds of dog, for example, are only happy when hauling; Malamutes are an example as they are larger and slower than Huskys and fit our purposes fine. We will employ dog carts for the non-winter months and slays for the snowy season. It has also been discussed to build ratio-belted wheels to turn a circular sawmill in which we train our dogs, in teams, to turn the drive-wheel that runs belts, pulleys and gears to the action below the blade, to saw our lumber in a nearby assembly. The dogs will love the exercise, and we can brush them for the short-staple fibers for our warmest sweaters. Under negotiation with a woman in St. Petersberg, Russia for future models to her animals, a specialty breed of Canadian Black Wolf and Alaskan Malamute. These animals can stand 7′ tall when on hind legs, and are larger than either of the two breeds, a trick of genetics I suppose. These animals, based upon my research, can be raised and trained very acutely to act as a household animal or a sled-dog, as well as a guardian of flocks and homes. No one would dare cross a flock of chickens with a 200lb black wolf hybrid sleeping on a large stone in the center of the field. Qalipu, a Newfoundland First Nations band, native status which I will soon have, allows animals with mixed wolf-domestic heritage. So all bases are covered there.\nIn the quest to connect us enough with the outside world to make use of it’s economy (while it exists). I have designed a system of WIFI repeaters using solar and lithium ion batteries to allow wireless access for desktops, tablets and smartphones. We wish to connect ourselves with the earth in a tighter bond, but we will still have families that we will require attention. We also have the assets of people in the community having the freedom to make their own videos, and I would like to encourage many of them to make a daily blog on the ecovillage youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/robingosse?feature=mhee). People commenting about their day, the weather, the harvest, all these things collected and re-distributed would help enlighten an audience about the sort of life we choose, CHOOSE to lead. I am sure that many of the members of WitchVox would wish to live in a lifestyle resembling the ecovillage that I envision, perhaps not our exact flavor, but definitely a nourishing juice of the same variety, rather than the bile feed to us by our consumerist economy. It also allows us to use free VOIP telephone calling using a locally run linux server attached to the grid internet. It will allow problem-free communication with the outside world without the monopoly from Aliant Telecommunications.. As long as the world wide web (and ironically, Eastlink Communications, but we could use any provider we like, by rights, if we involve satellite communication but our weather is prohibitive to that idea) is available to us, we have communication with the world. We wish to have online sales, a website and e-commerce solution to allow us to reach a broader audience.\nI have recently come upon a website called WWOOF, World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, and there is a Canadian branch. There are a number of great opportunities that we can provide people who are potential WWOOF volunteers. We could formally partner with the organization, and each of our members could, with dual-allegiance, become wwoofers using their mandate. Understanding that everyone is a volunteer will legally ease matters. Another matter is the “new” vision, or the new phrasing, of the arrangement for which the community members will be organized. I’ve fielded (no pun intended) a great many questions about how this portion will be run, and I think that I have a solution, partly inspired by WWOOF International.\nAll of the cottages will be known as “Seasonal Cabin Accommodations” where our “Worker Volunteers” will stay during their variable length contracts. Before planting season begins, each worker will be assigned quarters in one of our 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabins. Some variety will be allowed with the design of these structures, but we are also following the “tiny house” movement, and Jay Shafer’s Tumbleweed Houses especially (Seriously, check them out if you have not already). Each worker will be provided zero expenses while living among us, which includes home heating fuel, electricity, what medicine we offer, telephone communication (though no cellphones will be provided, nor shall they be prohibited), rent, clothing, pottery goods, blacksmith goods, etc. All will be “included” with the “package”. They do their work which will, of course, require training at no expense to the volunteer, and they will work their contract of six months or whatever the term will be.\nIn cases where we have farming staff, perhaps we have university graduates who wished to work on the farm for the summer, or high school graduates who wished to take a “year off” before university. They can live among us at no cost to themselves, get all the training they require to do many specialty, artisan-level crafts and learn to tend-farm. They can leave with a new sense of well-being and accomplishment at the end of their contract or sign on for the winter when the hard-core craft-work takes over where the harvest left off.\nIf any money is to change hands, it will be in the form of a stipend which will be of variable quantity depending on the surplus for that term (be it a month, a season or a year). There has been debate as to whether every community member will be given a household computer as part of this agreement, or if communal workstations will be available, or even if everyone gets a “company smartphone”, but those issues are still being discussed with the existing founding body. It is entirely likely that our volunteers may ascend the series of elected committee bodies from their neighborhoods (15 or 16 committees oversee neighborhood decisions and bring them to the founders committee) or their trades (each trade will have a committee with each member who has a trade in their neighborhood, and can bring those decisions to the founders committee) and so on. Everyone in the settlement has a voice, even if that voice is “No opinion”.\nIt is my hope that we can get a community that does not see money-matters as being as important as they are. It has also been discussed that a “reward” for service to the community will provide full repayment of student-loan debt, or credit card debt, and so on. When we have community-clout to cover off those expenses, perhaps in exchange for longer term-of-service-contracts (TOSC’s) to pay off the investment, we could provide a really solid and viable options to people buried in debt. They can change their lives and their thinking in one motion. Perfection.\nWe also discussed building a series of scholarship funds, when we have the assets. Speaking with local universities (Memorial University of Newfoundland and it’s campuses) and colleges (College of the North Atlantic and it’s campuses) to establish a fund where exceptional minds who seek to live this way as reflected by their academics, can receive FULL funding (we’d only end up paying it down anyway) in exchange for continued academic excellence, summer workterms at the ecovillage site, and extended TOSC’s in exchange for the bursary. I would also like to extend this scholarship fund to other nations, to offer those of other cultures the opportunity to live here, work here, learn in our schools and among our villagers. Also to take the lessons of permaculture and a degree in environmental science, for example, back to countries like Kenya, Zimbabwe, Berma, etc. We can then learn as much from them as we have to teach, and the cultural diversity can grow.\nOnly through sharing the gifts that we are able to provide can we make the global community grow. We can teach the lessons learned here, in Newfoundland, with other cultures and other communities, provinces and countries to provide a more cohesive understanding of our research. Permaculture is not magic, though it can sometimes seem that way. It is a lost art, a skill we learn from nature, and all of humanity deserves to learn from the same powerful teacher. Please join me in my mission, help with the Ecovillage Project as best you can by sharing these articles and the youtube channel videos with your peers.\nI will close by saying the words that I pray mark my final resting place, “Without support, there can be no community.”","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://pathwaysforveterans.com/danville/","date":"2017-06-25T22:29:16Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320593.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625221343-20170626001343-00501.warc.gz","language_score":0.9627726674079895,"token_count":616,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2017-26","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-26__0__27012762","lang":"en","text":"D A N V I L L E\nPathways for Veterans is proud to announce a fund raising campaign in support of a National Healthy Living Project at their newest location in Danville, California.

Or would you prefer a holiday house Noosa offers that will minimize your need for seeking restraint meals? These will help you arrive at the best accommodation choice that will suit your needs.\nWhat kind of facilities do you need\nHere is where you bring all your likes and interests forward to determine the best places that will provide you with the satisfaction you are seeking from an ideal getaway.

A fitting name for it is voluntourism, which involves travelling the world while doing some good work as a volunteer. For instance, volunteering abroad has gone a notch higher to give travelers opportunity to see the world while providing some useful service.\nRapid growth in voluntourism\nIf you have the desire to travel around the world while offering some good service, then you should consider volunteering abroad. The concept of traveling and volunteering is not new in the modern world. Many organizations around the world now consider placements for willing travelers around the world. For instance, you can merge your vacation period with opportunities for volunteering in Cambodia.\nOpportunities are endless from tutoring in elementary schools to working in agricultural farms. Consequently, you will be able to learn more about the community and its people. In addition, you hone your skills and build your experience in the field of practice.\nDuration of volunteering\nThe time you take during voluntourism varies from one community to another. For example, if you volunteer in Cambodia, the duration can be as short as one week or as long as several months. It is advisable to plan your trip well with assistance from your placement organization.\nOpportunities for volunteering\nThe main goal of volunteering abroad is to make a difference in the lives of other people. After all, why would you leave your community to serve a distant community in another part of the world? Well, opportunities for volunteering are numerous. Mainly in developing countries, they include:\n· Teaching in elementary schools\n· Building schools and health centers\n· Offering religious studies\n· Helping with community projects\nAs a volunteer, you choose your area of interest. The best opportunities are those that aim at improving the lives of indigenous people. Besides, when you decide to offer volunteering services, you should engage a reputable non-profit organization with a good reputation. Such organizations provide the safest opportunities. For example, if you desire Cambodia travel and volunteer opportunities, they can arrange for your travel and provide more information on the destination. Sometimes you may have to undergo a short language orientation so you can be able to communicate effectively with the natives. Charitable organizations are always on the lookout for volunteers. By combining vacation travel and some volunteer work, you can touch lives in another part of the planet.\nBenefits of travel and volunteering\nIn addition to the fulfillment you get as a person, you develop a lasting relationship with the people you serve. This can lead to more opportunities in future. Besides, combining travel and volunteering opportunity is cost-effective. It would cost more when you arrange for the two events separately.\nVolunteering is rewarding because you touch the lives of other people. All the same, you should find out more about your destination before you travel. With a good organization by your side, you are likely to find a fitting opportunity for your skills.

One of the reasons why Thailand is popular among tourists is the fact that it is relatively inexpensive to travel here. But if you are looking for volunteer overseas opportunities, Thailand is also a great destination to explore. There are several impoverished areas in Thailand that are in need of volunteers.\nIf you are looking for programs to join in and volunteer in Thailand, you can choose from the following available programs:\nThis is probably one of the most common programs available for those who wish to embark on Thailand travel to volunteer. English is not the first language in Thailand. However, the government is slowly realizing the benefits of learning to speak English fluently in order to stay competitive. This is why teaching English is a common type of work demanded from volunteers in Thailand.\nOne particular school in the small village of Ban Thin Dung is Phon Phisai Elementary School. This school is in need of volunteers who are willing to teach English to its students. There are several other poor communities within the area that have children who cannot go to school or need teachers for English. As a volunteer, you can render your service to them so you can help the community in some way. This is a good option of volunteer Thailand opportunity for those with a passion for teaching.\nAside from learning how to speak English, the poor communities in Thailand will also be in a better position to succeed with the knowledge on new technology and computer use. If you are interested in using computer and information technology, this is a worthwhile volunteer opportunity. The lack of funding and IT teachers has prevented the growth of the IT industry in the country, especially among the youth. You can therefore impact the future of these children by teaching them about computers and information technology. It is a small investment today that will enable them to reap the benefits down the road.\nIf you are not the teacher-type, there is another special cause that you can partake in when you volunteer overseas in Thailand. Deforestation and poaching is a serious concern in Thailand. In fact, it has endangered the lives of the gibbons that live in the forest. This is true not just for gibbons but the people who live near the forests are also at risk.\nYou can therefore volunteer to do tree planting activities and other programs to save the Thai rainforest. This is a great volunteer opportunity for individuals who are also nature advocates or outdoor adventurers. It is crucial that the state of the rainforest is preserved because there are so many lives that depend on it. In fact, it is one of the things that Thailand is most proud of when it comes to their tourism industry – the natural beauty of Thailand.\nRegardless of which of these programs you choose when you volunteer overseas in Thailand, you will probably learn more than what the locals will be able to learn from you.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://cannabits.online/about/","date":"2018-06-24T02:53:36Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267866191.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624024705-20180624044705-00521.warc.gz","language_score":0.9376918077468872,"token_count":126,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2018-26","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-26__0__117787922","lang":"en","text":"Our mission is to promote education and connectivity to the cannabis community with a primary goal to connect the conscious cannabis consumer with the most positive industry trends for the long-term health of the movement to repeal the unjust prohibition on Cannabis Sativa L.\nTo accomplish this mission we speak to the cannabis consumer through our community newspaper.\nCannabits is a weekly newspaper that is published across defined regions in Washington State to educate, connect and sustain the cannabis community.

Jay from the Solomon Islands\nFrom the Ends of the Earth to Fire in the Night in Kansas City\nEleazar Jimmy Riria (E. Jay) grew up in the Solomon Islands (a small group of Islands in the South Pacific). His grandma taught him from the Word of God and how to pray when he was young. Recently, E. Jay journeyed from his small island nation to Kansas City to participate in our Nightwatch internship, Fire in the Night. Before he came to Kansas City, E. Jay was involved in leading worship in a small village, Fa’arau, at the Fa’arau House of Prayer. Like our prayer room in Kansas City, the Fa’arau House of Prayer’s worship and prayer never stops. A team from the IHOP-KC Nightwatch led by Rick Rupp went to Fa’arau to feed and clothe the poor, give away instruments for the house of prayer, and share the love of Christ. Once Rick got to know E. Jay, he raised funds to bring him to Kansas City.\nIn Fire in the Night, E. Jay learned the value of reading, praying, and singing the Word. He looks forward to returning to the Solomon Islands to share all he has learned. He desires to preach from what he has learned and teach children in his village many of the songs he sang at IHOP-KC.\nLast month, E. Jay joined the worship team I sing on in the Nightwatch. It has been so fun to sing with him and get to know him. I know God is going to do so much through this man of God! I believe Isaiah prophesied of the very day we are living in, “From the ends of the earth we hear songs, ‘Glory to the Righteous One’” (Isaiah 24:16). I saw it in Haiti every morning when 1,000 gathered to pray in that island nation. Now E. Jay will be a part of making that a reality in the Solomon Islands.\nTo connect with our Nightwatch team visiting the Solomon Islands in August and to learn more about their vision to drill wells for the poor visit www.RickRupp.com\nAfter two years of living in the inner city, I am moving back to a house closer to our main missions base. I am doing the majority of my ministry down there as I pray and sing in the Nightwatch and work with IHOP-KC’s LIFE Initiatives Department. Over the past few months, the long commute has been difficult to afford and manage. I am continuing to minister in the inner city at Hope City once a week. I am going to miss living in the inner city!\nPartner with Us in Ministry\nThe International House of Prayer Missions Base (IHOPKC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Kansas City accredited with the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.

So being partial to a spot of tube-geekery myself, I did a bit of research into Islington’s stations and came back with more fascinating facts than I ever expected…\nArticle originally published at Islington Pepople\nMost recently, we’ve had the campaign to rename Archway station as ‘Whittington’, after the area’s most famous occupant.\nIslington residents have been campaigning for the name change for years, and according to Going Underground’s Annie Mole, they got a ‘sort of yes’ from Boris Jounson in August of last year. But the present-day Mayor told residents not to hold their breath, and the only change most Archway dwellers have noted recently is the regular closure of the station on weekends!\nAnd then there’s Arsenal, which is the only station on the Underground to be named directly after a football club, changed from Gillespie Road in 1932.\nTwo of my favourite tube factoids are to do with escalators on the Underground: the longest of which can be found in our very own Angel station. At 197 ft (60m) it takes 80 seconds to carry passengers up or down, so if you’ve ever felt like you were taking the longest escalator ride of your life while emerging from the Northern Line at rush hour, you were probably right.\nHolloway Road station, meanwhile, briefly played host to the first escalator on the whole of the Underground system: a bizarre, spiral-shaped contraption that was built in 1906 but deemed unsafe and never used. It was then apparently forgotten for the best part of 80 years, before an engineer discovered it gathering dust in the station’s second, dis-used lift shaft during a routine inspection.\nThe spiral escalator, devised by American inventor Jesse W. Reno, was an experiment that could have been taken up all over the underground if it had been successful, and would presumably have saved a lot of space in stations. But its trial at Holloway Road seems to have been enough to bury the idea forever.\nLooking at some of the old photographs found in the abandoned shaft, it’s easy to see why the device was considered too dangerous for public use: passengers would have stood on a very narrow walkway, possibly with no handrail, and with no steps to climb in the event of a breakdown. Some have speculated that the escalator was based on a fairground ride that was in use at the time. The first fully-functional, non-hazardous escalator was installed at Earl’s Court five years later in 1911.\nHighbury & Islington Station, now a 1960s concrete box, was once a grand old building that looked almost like a mini version of Waterloo. With pillars and gothic arches, the original Highbury Station could not look more different from its lowly reincarnation as Hi&I Tube.\nThere are some fascinating eyewitness accounts from Highbury residents caught up in the blast, which came from a V1 bomber that crash-landed at the North end of Upper Street, taking out shops, gardens and the part of the station that has now become the ‘Famous C0ck’ pub.\nObservant commuters entering Highbury & Islington station to this day can see a small relic of the earlier station: look to the left of the entrance, between the station and the Famous Cock, and you’ll see one solitary column that was never taken down.\nDo you have any fascinating facts on underground Islington you’d like to share with us? We’d love to hear them.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://kiffferthecat.tumblr.com/","date":"2014-09-16T23:27:32Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657120057.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011200-00200-ip-10-196-40-205.us-west-1.compute.internal.warc.gz","language_score":0.9623158574104309,"token_count":232,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2014-41","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2014-41__0__217782324","lang":"en","text":"Erforsche – Explore\nOne of the defining features of living in the Seattle metropolitan area is the incredible landscape we have around us.

In December of 2003, I journeyed from Rochester, New York to the land that was donated for this project. Since that time, there has been slow but significant progress toward that goal. In late summer of 2004, Mike Fallwell joined me (Edwin Basye) as a guest at the Sanctuary with the goal of developing a new revolutionary windpower machine. Although we were not able to build a viable prototype because of scaling issues, Mike's ideas have been pursued by other windmill researchers.\nWe acquired many items from Windtree Ranch in 2004, which no longer had use for the items. Among these were a motorhome and three pickup-style camper units. Initially we powered the site with a generator acquired from a neighbor, but in the fall of 2005 we installed a modest solar system consisting of two 120-watt panels and six golf-car batteries, which has done very well powering lights, running a laptop computer, small 12V cooler, and various appliances and power tools. We later upgraded the solar system with a 3rd panel, to run a small refrigerator.\nWe now have a second solar system and our first experimental adobe dome, which is quite a success. So much so that we plan to build more larger ones.\nWe have also installed a koi pond.\nAbout the Area\nDouglas is a town in Arizona on the border of Mexico and is less than 50 miles from New Mexico. It seems to be on the verge of a significant growth spurt. It has grown from about 15,500 people in 2004 to about 17,000 today. A 500-home development is underway just outside of town, and homes were selling well until the mortgage crisis hit.\nDouglas has generally mild winters but occasionally gets down to single digits. The winter of 2007-2008 was very mild -- our first hard frost date was December 10th. The winter of 2008-2009 was even warmer, with the first hard frost on December 26th! There is often a 35 to 40 degree temperature difference between overnight low and daytime high, so a rare cold morning of 10 degrees could end up being a fairly pleasant 50 degrees by afternoon.\nThe land is approximately 11 miles from Douglas. The land has many small ravines and one large central ravine where erosion has occurred, partially due to open range cattle over-grazing. The soil is generally sandy and rocky in spots, especially on the upper slopes. Some of the lower portions of the land have red clay mixed with rocks beneath the one foot of topsoil and decomposed rock.\nAll neighboring lands are approximately 40 acres but can (and a few have been) be subdivided into smaller (min. 5-acre) parcels.\nThe flora is dominated by mesquite, a leguminous (nitrogen-fixing) plant which has edible green beans in late spring. and mature beans during the monsoon season (July/August) which can be harvested and ground into flour. Mesquite can also be harvested for limited amounts of small firewood. Other flora include various wildflowers, sage, chaparral (creosote bush), grasses, cacti, century plants, and a few juniper trees and oak trees.\nThe notable fauna are deer, javelinas, coyotes, skunks, ringtails, ground squirrels, cottontail rabbits, jackrabbits, quail, red-tail hawks, owls, hummingbirds, many varieties of lizards including the Gila Monster, and rattlesnakes.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://diversecymru.org.uk/vacancies/","date":"2022-05-19T14:33:13Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662529538.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20220519141152-20220519171152-00529.warc.gz","language_score":0.9252421259880066,"token_count":418,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2022-21","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-21__0__13910062","lang":"en","text":"Community Engagement Officer\nSalary: £21,000 per annum\nFlexitime operates, 28 days* annual leave plus bank holidays (*pro rata)\nContract Type: Full-time, Fixed Term Contract until 31st March 2024\nLocation: Option for remote, Office Based (Cardiff) or Hybrid.\nWe are looking to recruit a Community Development Officer to be involved in the delivery of the brand new Wales Bereavement Information and Support Service (BISS) which Diverse Cymru are implementing in partnership with Marie Curie.\nBISS has been established to improve access to vital bereavement support across Wales.

The changes for me were quiet tough to swallow however with met experiences of the two different continental countries, i had managed to learned alot in short space of time as these both countries were quiet the opposite from one another in terms of language,culture, religion,weather and what not. While being in London i managed to visit the disneyland in my school days but my tooth liking for world travelling had already disappeared while i was still young at the moment. So what really changed the thought pattern and my perspective to travel more often to new different countries.\nThe answer simply lies with travelling more to newer destinations and my holiday tours to switzerland and turkey whom both were eye openers to what more there was available to see and i really enjoyed the weather in both of the countries as well as the sight seeing tours of the two destinations. If you are not that fond of travelling i would simply challenge you to try new destinations for travelling on holidays or just for relaxing and you will return to be amazed to re-learn that after all travelling can be really enjoyable.\nI believed my travelling experiences were not only enjoyable but i learned so many new things about different cultures and the people that i met. Travelling seemed like really a positive thing to do and it seemed as if to grow & gain more quickly in mental strength, knowledge and experiences there was nothing better than travelling to newer destinations abroad! .\nTravel safely and enjoy being part of new cultures , i hope to read your positive experiences and see how you react to the article as well as what are your experiences for travelling.

Each team has to raise a minimum of £1000 for charity which is donated directly, while a separate entry fee is paid to The Adventurists covers the event costs.\nThe official charity for the Rickshaw Run India is Frank Water. Founder Katie Alcott said: “The extraordinary support from Rickshaw Run teams over the past few years has raised almost £500 000 in support of our clean water projects in India, which provide guaranteed clean water to rural communities who suffer from both biological and chemically contaminated water.\n“Over 100 000 people now have access to clean, fluoride free drinking water, making a profound and lasting effect on lives. Without doubt, this calls for an enormous THANK YOU to all Rickshaw Run teams past and present - incredible!”\nThe Mongol Rally – the original and largest adventure - has raised just under £2 million overall for charity. Fiona Geoghegan of Chrstina Noble Children's Foundation (CNCF), the official rally charity until 2011 said:\n“Since 2006 the Mongol Rally teams have raised a stunning £695 000 which has contributed substantially to the running cost of the Blue Skies Ger Village in Mongolia, and will in fact allow us to continue to provide the high standard of care we pride ourselves on for the next couple of years, making The Adventurists one of our most valued donors.”\nThe Adventurists have launched a total of eight adventures, all designed to be intentionally difficult in response to the world becoming increasingly dominated by a hermetically sealed health & safety culture. Using a ladder is considered unacceptably dangerous and “adventure travel” means aguided tour up a mountain or staying in a hotel with less than four stars.\nIn 2004 six amateur teams set off to try and drive to Mongolia in tiny and unsuitable 1-litre cars with no back up, no support, no professional drivers, no set route and not a clue what would happen.\nFour succeeded and the concept exploded in popularity with almost 1000 people in 400 teams expected to take part in 2012.\nThe Adventurists, based in the UK, was founded by Tom Morgan and continues to look for new adventures to help with the fight to make the world less boring.\nIn 2011 the first ASEAN Rickshaw Run took place in South East Asia and was recognised by the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) as an official event to highlight tourism and connectivity across the region. It was launched by the ASEAN Secretary General from the Secretariat building in Jakarta and finished in Krabi, Thailand.\nIn February 2012 the Pioneer edition of the Ice Run sees 10 teams driving Ural motorbikes with sidecars along frozen rivers in Siberia.\nFor more information about The Adventurists and to sign up for an adventure visit:","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://thetitanunion.com/neighborhood/","date":"2024-04-17T11:33:12Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817153.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417110701-20240417140701-00785.warc.gz","language_score":0.9423314332962036,"token_count":358,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2024-18","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__4934308","lang":"en","text":"Welcome to the Neighborhood\nWith its walkable downtown flanked by abundant green spaces, Union Township offers the best of suburban living with a distinctly “city vibe.” A major university, easy access to the airport and to the City, and a strong sense of community bring many to this location.

Genesis, like Carlson and others, in accordance with their security policy, does not disclose the exact geographical location of its mining farms.\nChina is known for its numerous plants for the manufacture of video cards and ASIC miners. Consequently, the miners in China have the advantage of purchasing equipment at lower prices. The delivery of equipment is cheaper — or even absolutely free. China is amongst countries with the lowest price for electricity ,valong with Venezuela, Taiwan, and the Ukraine.\nThe most important factor in this matter is the decision of the Chinese government to encourage the industrial production of cryptocurrency by reducing the price of electricity consumption for the official owners of such farms. China has a huge population, which increases job competition. In the country, industrial cities have existed for a long time, with workers living without visiting the outside world at all. The same is practiced at mining farms, where system administrators are ready to live in dormitories near a farm for a relatively small salary, ensuring uninterrupted production of cryptocurrencies.\nAll these factors create a fertile ground for the deployment of the largest mining farms, like in Liaoning province. Its small city of Dalian is the center of mining in China and, probably, the whole world. It is a three-story mining farm with a specially designed ventilation system.\nCurrently, the farm in Dalian accounts for more than three percent of the hash rate of the entire Bitcoin network. Another Chinese province, Sichuan , launched an industrial farm near a hydroelectric power station. Since , the capacity of the farm has grown almost threefold and reached 12 PH. Other provinces, throughout China, are also not without their own large mining farms.\nYou can easily understand, when such a farm is nearby, because of the piles of obsolete mining equipment. The largest mining farm in Switzerland is located in the small village of Linthal in the eastern part of the country. Its owner, Guido Rudolphi , has already run a mining farm in Zurich but found the operating costs too high. After almost two years of searching, Rudolphi opted for Linthal, which offers the most attractive prices for electricity in the country.\nThe new farm, located in a former factory building, is considered the largest in Switzerland. Although the issue of cooling processors still remains relevant, Rudolphi insists that the possible financial benefit is not decisive for him. The world needs Bitcoin more for political reasons, he believes.\nThe owner of the farm compares the cryptocurrency with the internet of the s, when many people looked at this phenomenon with a great deal of skepticism. Russia is also among the countries in which large mining areas are located. The largest of these is believed to be located near Moscow, though the exact location of the farm is not disclosed. The power of the Moscow farm allows for the mining of approximately Bitcoin a month. To cool this amount of equipment, modern ventilation from Iceland is used.\nImage source: Lazy-flyer. Major mining farms began to appear only a couple of years ago. In , these were farms of enthusiasts. Today, mining farms consist of large technological infrastructures with a regular staff of professional employees, like Coinmint , which combine into agglomerates at the site of former factories and hangars.\nWith the increased complexity of the network and the declining prices of cryptocurrency, individual miners are pulling out. However, those players who managed to deploy large-scale infrastructures will be able to provide an ideal balance of productivity and low cost. Биток и эфир держу до наилучших времён.

Derek Wood\nFirst appeared in NZ Journal of Photography, No. 16, August 1994, pp. 37 and reprinted in Journal de la Société des Océanistes (Paris), Vol. 102, 1996, pp. 1138. After that first appearance this article was slightly revised by the addition of footnote 3 for publication in The Daguerreian Annual 1995, pp. 517 and later reprinted in a collection of essays on the subject of The French and the Pacific World, 17th–19th Centuries: explorations, migrations and cultural exchanges, edited by Annick Foucrier, Ashgate Publishing Ltd/Variorum: Aldershot, England and Burlington, Vermont, USA, March 2005, pp. 69-79.\nAll writings on the history of Photography in Australia agree that an episode in 1841 represents the first use there of the camera. Thus a recent account begins:\nTaking of the first photograph in Australia seems to have been a rather casual affair. On 13 April 1841 the Australasian Chronicle announced the arrival of the daguerreotype in New South Wales: The inhabitants of Sydney will now have the opportunity of witnessing the effects of this very singular invention, one of the instruments having been brought to the colony by Captain Lucas, late commander of the Naval School expedition....\nBut who was Captain Lucas; where did he come from and what was the Naval School Expedition? Such questions have remained entirely obscure. A recently published entry in the Dictionary of Australian Artists on Lucas, Captain, amateur photographer (?), camera salesman and ships captain, has attempted to bring together some possible identifications but was confused by the fact that two or even three Captains of that name seem to have been in Sydney in 1841: was he French or English? The present article offers a new approach to these problems. Even though Lucas does persist in offering a somewhat dual existence, it is apparent that the first use of the daguerreotype in Sydney can be considered as the farthest diffusion of the daguerreotype from France, comparable to the earlier and shorter stages to London and New York . Unlike those two places it is necessary to make the journey from Europe to Australia with at least one stopover: our first attention therefore goes to a ship, LOriental, at a halfway point.\nLOriental to South America\nA Frenchman, Louis Comte, gave the first demonstrations of the daguerreotype south of the equator. They took place at the hotel Pharoux in Rio de Janeiro on 17 January 1840 and on 29 February at the Uruguayan Palacio del Cabildo in Montevideo. Comte had sailed to South America on an intended expedition round the world on a French frigate, LOriental that had left France at the end of September 1839 . Described in France as an école flottante, and in other countries as Colegio hidrográfico and Naval School Expedition, the voyage was expected to last from two to two and a half years. It had been organised throughout the first half of 1839 by Captain Augustin Lucas (1804?1854). It is not entirely clear if his name was Augustin or Auguste, both forms appear in primary sources [but established later that writen as Augustin on his birth and marriage certificates]. He was born in 1804 at Bangor on BelleIle, the island off the French west coast of Brittany, halfway between Lorient and St Nazaire. In 1832 he had married Elizabeth Bellais, who, with their two young children, went on the expedition with him. In the mid 1830s he was Captain of Jeune Lise of Bordeaux but a few weeks after returning to France on 4 June 1838 from Guadeloupe he went to stay in Paris to pursue his ideas for leading this educational voyage round the world. During the following year he published a thirtyone page pamphlet on the organisation of maritime commerce.\nLucas approached various departments of state and was soon able to state that his project was under the auspices of the Government, although this was probably limited to letters of support written by Ministers of Marine and of Public Instruction amongst others. Various organisations, such as the Paris Academy of Sciences and the Society for Geography in France, and in Belgium, were also approached for support and advice. Most significant was captain Augustin Lucass approach as early as March 1839 to an influential Paris organisation concerned with industry and commerce, la Société d Encouragement pour lIndustrie Nationale. They considered that his expedition was of interest to them, although the nature of the support which they gave by 31 July was not specified . When Lucas reached Montevideo in February 1840 he sent back to that Society, for publication in their monthly Bulletin, a report on the commercial relationships between France and Brazil. No doubt daguerreotype apparatus would have been taken on the voyage anyway (its value to travellers was greatly emphasised in France in the earliest discussions of photography) for Daguerres invention was causing great excitement in France especially during the two months before LOriental sailed. Indeed when Jean Jobard, editor of a Brussels newspaper Le Courrier Belge, visited Daguerres workshop in the summer of 1839, it was at the same time as Captain Lucas, who had just registered to take one of the instruments on his voyage round the world. But Lucass connection with the Société pour lIndustrie Nationale would have provided a particular encouragement to take a commercial interest in the daguerreotype. It is well known that Daguerres secret was not divulged until François Arago presented a lecture on Daguerres behalf at the Academy of Sciences on 19 August 1839, and that Daguerre gave the first of three public demonstrations at the palais d Orsay on the left bank of the Seine in Paris on 7 September. At the end of that first week of September 1839 both apparatus and Daguerre's Manual on the technique at last became available to the public in Paris. Less well known is the fact that Daguerre gave a talk about his technique to the Société d Encouragement pour lIndustrie Nationale at rue de Bac in Paris on Wednesday 4 September 1839. It is thus conceivable that Lucas or Comte could have been at the meeting of the Society to hear Daguerre speak. His discussion with the members of the society was reported in detail in two Paris newspapers . More significantly it resulted in a description of Daguerres technique, with detailed drawings of the camera and processing equipment, being printed in the September 1839 issue of the societys Bulletin , an issue that very likely could have gone on the voyage with Augustin Lucas.\nA Prospectus for the expedition was issued\n. A total of seventyone persons, fortytwo being French students and twelve from Belgium, went on the voyage. Most of the teachers were from Belgium where effective organising was done for Lucas by Professor L.A. VendelHeyl. The education was to include general studies and languages, but training was specifically for commercial and marine careers with instruction in navigation by Lucas, and lectures from a Professor Moreau of the School of Commerce at Brussels. The cost for each young student was 5,000 francs ($300). Lucas had at first hoped the Ministry of Marine would allow him to use a navy ship LHydrographe, and his plans could have collapsed when this support was not forthcoming. Luckily the expedition was still able to take place when he obtained the use of LOriental , at 82,000 Francs from her owners Despacher and Bonnefin of Nantes. The departure was on 1 or 2 October with the first call of LOriental being at Lisbon from 7 to 15 October, and at Madeira from 23 to 25 October. Then sailing via Teneriffe and Gorée [Dakar], Bahia was reached on 7 December 1839 after visiting Recife (Fernambouc') the most northern point encountered on the Brazilian coast.\nThe exact position of labbe Louis Comte on the voyage is unclear as he was listed as one of three French passengers. Yet he is also recorded as Chapelain on the ship and to teach music. In South America the reports of him taking the first daguerreotypes there speak of Compte rather than Comte, but the latter name is likely to be correct. Apparently at that time he was aged thirty nine, born in Nantes, but having lived for many years on the other side of France at la GrandeVerrière, a small village near Autun. With his daguerreotype equipment he stayed on in Uruguay where he had a studio for many years, but LOriental continued her voyage under the command of Captain Lucas. The intention was to go up the west coast of South America to California, across the Pacific to La NouvelleHollande ie. Australia. Parents of the pupils had been advised to send mail via England to Sydney. The Phillipines were to be visited, down to India, which appeared to feature largely in plans for the students. The last part of the expedition was via the Red sea, south to Bourbon and Madagascar, back across to South America, north to Boston and across the Atlantic back to France. But, after staying a few days at Valparaiso, LOriental was wrecked on the coast of Chile immediately after leaving that port on 23 June 1840. Everything on the ship was recovered and the students were to sail back to France and Belgium on normal services.\nThe Justine and Australia\nYet LOriental must have left France with more than one Daguerreotype outfit. For it surely cannot be only a coincidence that another French ship, Justine, arrived in Sydney from Valparaiso on 29 March 1841 and it was her Captain Lucas, described in the Australian Chronicle of 13 April 1841 as late commander of the Naval School expedition, who offered Daguerreotype apparatus for sale in April 1841. The place of sale was in Macquarie Place at the offices of Joubert and Murphy , food and wine merchants, who were general agents for French ships. The purchaser was to be fully instructed in the method of taking views. A daguerreotype view of Bridge Street from Macquarie Place (the first photographic image obtained in Australia, although it does not appear to have survived) was certainly taken by some gentlemen on 13 May. Presumably Lucas was involved in this demonstration, not only Joubert and Murphy. Further demonstrations were offered at their premises. It seems unlikely that the camera was sold at that time, but remained in Jouberts hands: when he decided to return to Europe almost two years later,a very superior daguerreotype [camera], complete, with all the apparatus, and a great number of plates was amongst his furniture and books placed on auction at his residence in Macquarie Place .\nThe Justine had sailed for New Zealand and Australia from Valparaiso on 6 November 1840 so that the opportunity to take over goods from LOriental is evident. It would seem almost certain that the Captain Lucas who brought the daguerreotype to Australia, was the leader of the marine school expedition of LOriental that left France at the beginning of October 1839. Thus the taking of the first photographic image in Australia is in direct line with the first daguerreotype taken in South America. Yet this article cannot simply stop here. Because it cannot be entirely indisputable that the man in Sydney was exactly the same man as the Captain Lucas who had sailed from France !\nWhen Augustin Lucas sailed from the French Brittany ports on LOriental at the end of September 1839. he was accompanied by his wife and two young children. On BelleIle in January 1839 his sister LouiseAugustine had married J. F. Briel described as a simple fisherman and coastal sailor. He served for Lucas as third lieutenant on LOriental accompanied by his wife. It was thus quite a family voyage, completed by the youngest member of the crew being the sixteen years old brother of Lucass wife. Indeed family relationship is the connecting link in the arrival of the Justine at Sydney. For Augustin Lucas had not only a sister but a younger brother. Born on 11 February 1808 on BelleIle, FrançoisMarie Lucas also became a Captain about the same time as his brother. Indeed he was captain of the Justine!\nIn 1837 the Justine had left Le Havre captained by the younger François Lucas under a scheme to take 240 emigrants to Sydney . Also on the voyage was J. Bernard, owner of the Justine and organiser of the enterprise. After arriving at Rio Janeiro in November, the emigrants were persuaded by government agents that Brazil could be a substitute for Australia. First taking on a cargo of sugar the Justine after being damaged a little at Montevideo in January 1838 , continued round to the Pacific coast of South America. Hereafter in 1838 and 1839 shipping news sometimes reported the progress of the ship as captained by Lucas, sometimes as Bernard. The Justine left Valparaiso with horses on 1 November 1838, touching in at Tahiti and New Zealand before reaching Sydney on 25 April 1839. Three months later the Justine sailed from Sydney, not to recross the Pacific but going west without a cargo to Mauritius and Bourbon (ie Réunion). Returning with a cargo of sugar, they were back to Sydney in February 1840. Within a few weeks, on 7 April the barque left Sydney, sailing via New Zealand to Chile: the Captain was recorded as Lucas at Sydney and on arrival at Valparaiso. So in April 1840 both LOriental and the Justine were heading for Valparaiso from opposite directions: both ships under the command of Captain Lucas. At no time in shipping news were forenames mentioned but it is an established fact that Augustin was on the first, and the younger François was on the second ship. So there is no doubt that not long after LOriental was wrecked on the coast of South America at Valparaiso, the Justine arrived there on 23 September 1840. When the captain of the Justine later wrote an account of his voyage he merely said that I returned to Valparaiso to reload with a cargo similar to the first [ie horses], augmented with some other articles. There was no official requirement for him to write any report but he wished to present his thoughts to the French authorities about potential for French colonisation in the Pacific. Therefore it is not surprising that he made no mention of meeting up with his older brother. The Justine departed again on 6 November from Valparaiso touching in at Tahiti and at New Zealand to return to Sydney on 29 March 1841:\nSydney Gazette, 30 March 1841:\nShipping Intelligence. Arrivals. From Valparaiso, via the Bay of Islands (New Zealand,) yesterday [29 March 1841], having left the former port on 6th November, and the latter 17th instant, the barque Justine, Captain Lucas, with flour, wines, &c. Passengers Captain Bernard, Captain Elliot, William Eastcott, Esq. Messieurs Dessuth and Guion, Mademoselle Lucus [sic], and three in the steerage .\nSydney Herald, 6 April 1841:\nSydney General Trade List, under the authority of the Customs. Imports. Reports, April 2 Justine, bargue 265 tons, Lucas, master, from the Bay of Islands [NZ]; 85 barrels of flour, 80 barrels of beef, 2 cases jardines, 50 cases pickles, 1 case raisins, 3 cases almonds, 2 cases ink, 10 barrels shot, 50 boxes walnuts, 20 bags beans, 150 boxes soap, 4 boxes candles, 75 bags wheat, 12 bags lucerne seed, 20 bags barley, 15 tons shells, 1000 coconuts, 1 barrel lime juice, Captain Bernard.\nObviously the owner Captain Bernard, not a Lucas, registered the cargo with Customs and was agent for the goods in Sydney. It will be noticed that no daguerreotype apparatus was listed amongst the goods being imported. Two Captain Lucass are not listed, but we do have the presence of Mademoselle Lucus. A French writer who has earlier studied well the history of Augustin Lucass expedition on LOriental commented that after the shipwreck Lucas disappeared for a while in 1841, reappearing in Tahiti . The period of this disappearance is exactly that of the arrival of the camera in Australia. The Australian newspaper description in April 1841 of the man who arrived with the daguerreotype Captain Lucas, late of the Naval School Expedition is one that exactly fits Augustin, captain of the wrecked LOriental, rather than his younger brother François. There can be little doubt that the apparatus was late of the voyage of LOriental, but it is indeed also likely that both brothers did arrive on the Justine. Obviously the Captain of the Justine would already have known Joubert in Sydney but the fact that a few months later Augustin was writing to Joubert on September 15 from Tahiti indicates that he also had already become acquainted.\nWhen François Lucas had set out from France the whole world was still without photography and the Daguerreotype. But 1839 brought a profound change. So when Augustin Lucas arrived at the east edge of the Pacific in 1840 he had seen how a world could be preserved and reflected in Daguerres Magic Mirrors. He brought the apparatus to the Pacific. But the first two or three years of the daguerreotype from 1839 to 1841 also cover a critical time in the political affairs of the Pacific. François reached New Zealand on the Justine in February 1839: the geographic position of this beautiful land, the fine ports, delightful climate, immense forests,... its proximity to the new colony of NouvelleHollande [Australia], I considered that these islands would play an important role in the future of the Pacific. By December 1839 it had become known in his old home of BelleIle that he was purchasing seven square miles of land in New Zealand. However his enthusiasm came to nought not foreseeing that before one year the English would come to threaten my property, as happened after the arrival of Captain Hobson, appointed governor of New Zealand. Thus Hobsons Proclamation of 30 January 1840 (does not deem it expedient to recognise as valid any titles to Land in New Zealand which are not derived from or confirmed by Her Majesty ) and the Treaty of Waitangi concluded the following week by the British with the Maori chiefs, undoubtedly influenced not only failure of French settlement in New Zealand, but also the locality of the arrival of photography in the Pacific.\nOnly a brief account by François remains of his voyage from Valaparaiso on which the daguerreotype apparatus was carried: I touched again at Tahiti, and when I had sold all at the Bay of Islands [NZ] and wound up the operation, I left for Sydney in order to reline and careen my ship before going back to Chile and subsequent return to Bordeaux. Thus after the Daguerreotype apparatus was placed on sale in Sydney the Justine sailed from Sydney on 4 June to recross the Pacific to Valparaiso yet again. The Justine left there on 28 October 1841 for Bordeaux, arriving back to France at the end of February 1842 . François Lucas abandoned both his hopes in New Zealand and a seafaring life. He set up a sardine factory on BelleIle, but not only did the enterprise soon fail, but apparently he shortly died . The interwoven characters of the two brothers is further illustrated by the fact that it was not François, but Augustin who continued in the Pacific. Augustin Lucas lived in Tahiti from about September 1841 until 1848 when he returned to France. According to Le Gallen's histoire de BelleIle, he soon went to the United States where he is said to have died around 1854. One year after he went to Tahiti an official French expedition of the Reine Blanche commandered by the forceful Admiral DupetitThouars arrived in August 1842 soon insisting on French control of Tahiti, as well as bringing a Daguerreotype camera officially purchased before they left Paris . There are glimpses of Lucas embroiled in missionary disputes, instigator of intrigue against the French Consul, and dealing in alcohol that mirror the disturbed situation of Tahiti at that time . The same is true of Elisabeth Lucas. A description of her merely in terms of being her husbands wife is certainly very inadequate. When she, with the two children and another Captain, not Augustin, visited the Gambier Islands in 1843, she was ostensibly an angel devoted to missionaries. Yet those French Catholic missionaries soon characterised her as a freethinker trading in Mother of Pearl in disreputable company. Glimpses we have of these tradingadventurers in the pacific in the 1840s surpasses the plots of many novels as Herman Melville, at Tahiti the same time as Augustin Lucas, was aware. The arrival of the daguerreotype is part of that extraordinary true story.\nThe most recent opinion amongst photographic historians in Australia has been that the Captain Lucas who brought the daguerreotype to Australia was an English Captain. But it is possible now to have a different and fuller picture of the event. It has been necessary to present complicated evidence regarding the relationship between two French ships, so a summary of the principal course of events is offered:\nLOriental left France at the end of September 1839. Organised by Captain Augustin Lucas (1804?1854), it was intended as an expedition around the the world lasting about two years to provide an education in maritime commerce. Daguerreotypes were taken by Louis Comte in Rio de Janeiro on 17 January and at Montevideo on 29 February 1840. The ship was wrecked at Valparaiso on 23 June 1840. The Justine, sometime under the Captaincy of François Lucas, younger brother of Augustin, arrived from across the Pacific to Valparaiso on 23 September. This ship left in November 1840, to arrive back to Sydney on 29 March 1841. On 13 April the Australasian Chronicle announced that the inhabitants of Sydney will now have the opportunity of witnessing the effects of this very singular invention [of the Daguerreotype], one of the instruments having been brought to the colony by Captain Lucas, late commander of the Naval School expedition...Captain Lucas intends to dispose of the instrument at prime cost.... The description of the captain exactly fits that of Augustin Lucas from LOriental rather than his younger brother François. In this way the first photographic images were obtained in Australia, the earliest documented daguerreotype being taken in association with a French firm Joubert and Murphy at Macquarie Place, Sydney, on 13 May 1841.\n.

Augusto da Silva Carvalho, Subsidos para a história da intraducâo da fotografia em Portugal, Memórias da Academia de Lisboa, classe de Ciências, tomo III (1941), 2144, has a paragraph on p. 24 concerning Captain Lucas and Comte in Rio de Janeiro. Carvalhos source was Jornal do Commercio (Rio de Janeiro), 20 Janeiro 1840 [a newspaper not seen by the present writer] : convidou o imperador do Brasil e a sua familia a assistirem à exhibiçâo do apparelho de Daguerre para tirar vistas, convite que foi aceite e ao paço da Boavista foi o capitâo acompanhado pelo abade Comte, que era o técnico e duma janela do torreâo com uma exposiçâo de nove minutos... This contemporary report of a daguerreotype being taken in Rio de Janeiro with an exposure of nine minutes is interesting. It is some confirmation of the length of time expected with Daguerres basic technique that would not have been able to record the soldiers and horses that Gilberto Ferrez writes about in his first chapter of Photography in Brasil 18401900, translated from Portugese into English by Stella de Sá Rego (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1990), 1. Ferrez rashly alleges three daguerreotypes illustrated in his figures 24 are by Comte (Ferrez, 6, 8, footnote No. 6 on pages 2234). Not only are those three daguerreotypes far too sophisticated (ie, high speed instantaneous plates with oval images in fine matching leather cases) to be from 1839, but Ferrez does indeed really admit in his footnote No. 6 on page 223 of the 1990 English edition that one of those daguerreotypes could not be before 1841 because the neoClassical plat bands of the Paço that appear in the daguerreotype were not constructed until the year of 1841 ! Weston Naef s opinion, mentioned by Ferrez in his footnote No. 6, that these daguerreotypes were likely to have been the work of Augustus Morand of New York who was at the Hotel Pharoux in Rio de Janeiro in December 1842 (Ferrez, 6, 8) makes much more sense. It is unfortunate that Gilberto Ferrez did not transfer the logic of his footnote No. 6 to the attribution of this daguerreotype of Paço da Cidade that he more prominently but incautiously made at the beginning of his first chapter.\n.

But sprinkled among the fictional are a number of actual locations that readers can—and should—visit on their next trip to Cambria.\nHere are just a few settings of note that appear in the books, with links you can follow to learn more:\nMoonstone Beach. The namesake of the first book in the series, this beach with its tide pools and its mile-long boardwalk will be familiar to anyone who’s visited Cambria. Lined with hotels that offer stunning ocean views, Moonstone Beach is perhaps the most famous feature of Cambria.\nFiscalini Ranch Preserve.

You’ll find Fiscalini Ranch in Moonstone Beach as well as in Nearly Wild.\nCambria Pines Lodge. The lodge is a terrific hotel on twenty-five acres of property. It’s got a restaurant, a pool, a bar, and stunning gardens that have to be seen to be believed. Gen and Ryan share their first kiss on a bench in the gardens in Like That Endless Cambria Sky.\nRobin’s. This restaurant is a favorite with the locals, and it’s also where Rose and Will have a friendly lunch early in their relationship in Nearly Wild. I’ve eaten there many times, and my personal favorite is the lobster enchiladas.\nLinn’s. This Cambria institution is the spot where Rose and Will go for dinner—then end up blowing off the main meal and going for olallieberry pie a la mode instead.\nKate’s house. This Marine Terrace house, where Kate lives on the top floor and Gen lives in an apartment downstairs, is available as a vacation rental. My family and I have stayed there twice. As the website says, it truly does have a breathtaking view.\nLeffingwell Landing. This lovely park that sits to the north of Moonstone Beach offers picnic benches, a grassy area, parking, barbecues, and breathtaking views. Rose and Will have a picnic dinner here in Nearly Wild.\nThe Cookie Crock. The main (sometimes only) grocery store in Cambria. Admittedly, this place gets only a brief mention in Nearly Wild. But it’s worth including here, because it’s a Cambria fixture.\nI’ll update this list as the series develops.

These trenches make up the deepest parts of the world’s oceans and for this reason such areas remain practically uncharted.\nLess than 5% of the world’s oceans have been explored due to the inaccessible nature of deep sea and the massive pressure (some 16,000psi)\n|exerted on objects at these depths.

Activity centers like UMBC, Northwest Hospital in the Randallstown area, the Rosewood Technology Park in Owings Mills, and the Rutherford Business Center, Social Security Administration, and Centers for Medicare/Medicaid in Woodlawn power our dynamic economy. Access to public transit via Metro and regional bus, and easy access to the interstates is also a plus. New housing and population growth indicate that many continue to find West Baltimore County an attractive and desirable place to live.\nWith these strengths in mind, two of our biggest economic development opportunities involve redeveloping, improving, and connecting the Owings Mills and Security Square mall properties as regional hubs. Nationwide, traditional malls are being updated and re-imagined as better-integrated activity centers that serve a wider array of community needs. Successful redevelopment of our mall properties will require understanding community needs, the local market, and national trends driving investment decisions. It means understanding how to leverage existing strengths and focusing on livability, opportunity, and quality of life. Importantly, it takes vision and leadership at all levels of government to achieve success. We should consider options that broaden the spectrum of economic development possibilities by including a focus on wellness, public health, arts, and entertainment. This ensures that each redevelopment project becomes the heart of the community, and in so doing attracts visitors and spending from surrounding areas.\nThe Owings Mills and Security Square areas together are already bright spots believe it or not — more than 31% of Baltimore County’s population growth between 2010 and 2015 came from these areas. Our businesses and activity centers are part of the larger Baltimore regional economy that is holding its own nationally. Recently, Baltimore was found to be one of only 40% of major metropolitan areas maintaining what economists call economic dynamism. Another report ranked Baltimore 21st for its number of businesses qualifying as advanced industries businesses, that have an outsized impact on economic growth. Because of these strengths, we know that we can realize great things from redevelopment of the mall properties.\nIn Owings Mills, where new housing, retail, and office space are already coming at Metro Center and Foundry Row, focusing on a community, civic, or cultural anchor for the mall redevelopment could catalyze those existing investments in a powerful way. This kind of anchor could range from a concert venue to a YMCA, or perhaps government offices. An anchor that offers something different and complementary would round out the mix of uses in the greater area around the metro station and catalyze this area as a long-term center of economic growth.\nOne national best practice is the use of festival-style programming in well-designed common areas to establish a new center as a local destination of choice. The right plan for the mall, in connection with Foundry Row and Metro Center, could also ultimately lead to spill-over development up and down Reisterstown Road, ultimately meshing with Reisterstown’s historic Main Street district.\nAt Security Square, the properties in the area near the mall are mostly government and commercial office space, as well as industrial or manufacturing properties. A good retail anchor like a Dick’s Sporting Goods or a Kohl’s could work well in this area, integrated as part of a town center model, like Hunt Valley Towne Center or Waugh Chapel in Anne Arundel County. This would create a new mixed-use hub where people can live, work, and play, and one that could continue to become better integrated with the surrounding area going forward.\nUpdate: The Baltimore Sun published this article last month about newly revealed plans for Security Square Mall. I was happy to learn that a town center style development is being considered.\nPartnership between community, government, and the private sector is crucial for any economic development to succeed, including redevelopment of existing properties. Public-private partnerships can even be leveraged to harness private capital, like Arlington, VA is doing for Ballston Mall. While many decisions related to local land use are made at the local government level, tax credits and business loan programs, bond bills, and transportation decisions are made at the state level, or come from federal grants.\nThis brings us back to vision and leadership. Vision and leadership aid communication, set expectations, and overcome obstacles when the going gets tough. It means understanding how to leverage existing strengths and focusing on livability, opportunity, and quality of life. West Baltimore County’s future will be brightest if our elected leaders work with community members and private partners to articulate a strong vision for redevelopment that charts a clear path forward.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://towermgt.com/index.html","date":"2016-05-31T23:39:51Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464053252010.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524012732-00222-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz","language_score":0.9621873497962952,"token_count":330,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2016-22","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2016-22__0__120785666","lang":"en","text":"Tower Management Service, L.P. is a real estate operating company which owns approximately 2200 multi-family apartment units in approximately 20 garden style apartment communities located in New York State and New Jersey.\nThe Company's corporate office is located in River Edge, New Jersey, in a 7,500 square foot office building owned and primarily occupied by Tower.

Long moved to Japan to teach English in 2005. Earthquakes are a common occurrence in his part of the country, so Long is accustomed to feeling the ground shake. What he wasn’t expecting was the 9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami that struck Japan on March 11, 2011. The tsunami did not make it as far inland as Jason’s town, but more than 13,000 people were killed in Japan and repercussions were felt throughout the world.\nAs told to Leila Kalmbach\nIt was a Friday afternoon at 3:46 when the first earthquake hit, and I was in the teacher’s workroom at the elementary school where I teach. At first it felt like just another earthquake, but instead of stopping, it got stronger. Desks were shaking, computer monitors started falling and an enormous safe shimmied about a foot out from the wall. That’s when I knew this was serious.\nThe quake stopped after about a minute, and all of us teachers went to make sure the students were okay. We were going to take them to the gym, but some of the ceiling tiles and floodlights had fallen down, so we took everyone outside to the playground instead. At that point, it was very little thought, all action — I just needed to make sure the kids were safe.\nA minute or two later, the second earthquake hit. I was standing 10 or 15 yards from the school. When I looked up, the three sections of the building, which are about a foot apart, were each swaying separately. I felt really small next to these enormous buildings swaying like leaves on a tree. I wasn’t scared, exactly, maybe scared hopeless. No one reacted much; it wasn’t until a few minutes later that students started crying and screaming.\nAfterward, I waited until students’ parents had picked them up, and then I headed home. On the road to my apartment, all the manholes had lifted a foot and a half above the road. I gathered food and blankets and went to meet my wife at her parents’ house about 20 minutes away in Hitachinaka. Neither my apartment nor my in-laws’ house had electricity, gas or water, so over the next week, getting basic necessities occupied most of our time.\nWe stood in line for hours waiting for our water rations of two liters a day per person present, never mind that two elderly people, including my wife’s grandfather, were waiting at home. Gas was also rationed to about two gallons per car, and it was only available for a short time in the mornings. I was lucky to have a full tank, but many people left their cars parked in line overnight outside gas stations.\nA couple days after the quake, while waiting in line for water, I glanced over at the intersection 50 yards away, and saw that the red and green crosswalk lights had started flashing. I couldn’t believe it: The power was back. I would be able to call my parents and tell them I was alive.\nAt my wife’s parents’ house, there was still no power. But it was okay; we had water and food, though perishables were still hard to come by. We ate off plastic wrap–topped plates since we couldn’t wash dishes. Luckily, we had extra water from the bathtub, which the Japanese leave filled, so we used that for the toilet.\nOn Sunday night, the power did come back on, but that was the worst night of the whole ordeal. Until then, we had only heard about what was going on in the rest of the country, but that night we were able to watch TV. We sat there and watched nearby people, buildings and cities being washed away. It was unreal. I kept asking myself why this was happening to people 100 miles north of me and not to me.\nThere were a lot of concerns during that time about the radiation from the Fukushima power plant, which is about 60 miles away. A few days after the quake, my wife and I were walking to get water, and my mother-in-law drove to find us. It was supposed to rain, she said, and there were worries that the rain would be radioactive.\nThe school reopened Monday, but I didn’t go back until Tuesday because there was so much to do at home. Then I stayed with a friend because it was closer to work. He had running water, so I got to brush my teeth and take my first shower.\nI’d been at my friend’s apartment for about a week when I learned the power and water were back on in my neighborhood. My wife and I went back to our apartment to assess the damage. We were really lucky. A lot of stuff had fallen and there was some damage at the entryway, but the tab of a single CD case was the only thing that had broken.\nLife slowly returned to normal. Neighborhood by neighborhood, power, water and gas came back on. Restaurants and grocery stores reopened, though it was still tough to find perishable foods. For the next few months, I had trouble sleeping because I was worried about things falling and killing me. But in the end, I feel lucky. I’m still alive, and I’m so happy that I have people who care about me. Friends and family kept calling, and when I was able to go online, I had 75 emails and two pages of Facebook comments asking if I was okay. All that love was heartwarming.\nA slightly modified version of this story originally appeared in the September 2011 issue of Austin Monthly magazine.

His love for glaciers and the passion for nature lies in his DNA, as he grew up in the Chamonix valley and is succeeding several generations of mountain guides, including his father. Today, Ludo’s work as a guide and scientist at EDYTEM (Laboratory of Environments, Dynamics and Mountain Territories) is fully dedicated to understanding the high mountain areas, especially in the context of climate change. For i-vest, we followed Ludo up a steep mountain trail and spoke with him about the consequences of climate change, and how impact investing can still make a difference (yes, there is hope).\nLudo, you are a glaciologist and a geomorphologist. How did you get into this profession?\nI always loved the mountains and from a young age on it was clear to me that I wanted to work in this field. To do so, I studied in Chambéry at the Université Savoie-Mont-Blanc in France, first in a master’s program that was related to the evolution of rock walls at high elevation in the Alps. After my graduation I stayed at the university for three more years to complete my PhD. The topic of my thesis was dedicated to the evolution of the rocks and the ice due to global warming.\nMy first jobs were in Lausanne, and in Zurich. But I grew a bit tired of always being away from my family after a while. I have strong roots in Chamonix, coming from a very old family lineage. So I came back and worked as the director of the Chamonix risk prevention and mountain rescue service for two years. But I really missed doing science. So I took the exam to enter the French CNRS, which is the Center for Research in France – and I succeeded. That’s how I became a researcher and a guide.

Earthquakes result in the collapse of buildings and can even topple big and heavy objects. These usually may lead to fire outbreaks, damage of roads and other forms of property damage. Human beings are equally at risk of injury, or even death during earthquakes.\nAreas that are prone to earthquakes include Southern California and particularly Simi Valley and Ventura County due to their proximity to the San Andreas and other active Earthquake faults. For residents of these areas, preparing for earthquake is a topic which cannot be overlooked.\nEarthquakes can cause;\n- Fire outbreaks\n- Damage to roads\n- Tsunamis and landslides\n- Injury to human beings\nPreparing for earthquake; steps\n- In case you were driving, stop the car and put the car on parking mode.\n- Stay far from buildings if an earthquake finds you outdoors\n- Stay away from a doorway.\n- Do not make a run for the outside.\n- Drop as low as possible keeping a low centre of gravity\n- In case it finds you in bed, find quick cover like under the bed and cover your head with a pillow.\n- Stay away from windows\n- Crawl to safer areas without going through the wreckages\n- Hold on to something substantial if you can spot one nearby\nIf you are on a wheelchair:\n- Lock the wheels and retain the sitting posture until the earthquake stops.\n- Cover your vital organs using both arms, or pillow.\n- Hold on to your position, covering your head until the earthquake stops\nPreparing For Earthquake Before It Hits\nIn as much as most earthquakes usually occur suddenly and without warning, there are precautionary measures which, when carefully taken in a timely fashion, can reduce the extent of the damages. These measures are;\n- Getting to a safe area in the house to avoid injury on yourself\n- Keep fragile items in the house safe and off the wall lest they fall off and break. Ensuring heavy objects are always kept on the lowest shelves.\n- Having a family emergency strategy like where you all meet in case of separation.\n- Always ensuring that there’s a supply kit that contains enough food for no less than three days. The safety skit should also contain a fire extinguisher, flashlight, first aid and a whistle.\n- Always ensuring that the back- up chargers and power banks have enough power for the phones and other essential devices.\n- Obtaining an earthquake insurance policy; especially if you live in earthquake-prone areas. Remember your typical homeowner’s insurance policy will not cover damages caused by an earthquake.\n- Customizing your building to quickly fix structural problems that can cause your building to crumble when an earthquake occurs\nYour Guide to Safety After an Earthquake\nAfter an earthquake, potential dangers should be fixed immediately to prevent further damage. Gas leaks, water spillage or collapsed power lines should be treated with care and immediately;\n- Remember, there may be aftershocks following up the main earthquake.\n- Confirm whether you are hurt before reaching out to help others. Otherwise, you may not be of much help.\n- If the building you are in gets damaged, go outside using the safest route and get the furthest you can from the building. Only do this once you are sure the aftershocks are no more.\n- Do not re-enter a damaged building before the emergency team arrives.\n- If you get trapped in a building, cover your mouth, nose and eyes. If you have your phone with you, call the person nearest to you.\n- Make some noise using a whistle or bang against the wall so that rescuers can quickly locate you. Don’t shout when the building is dusty lest you choke.\n- If you suspect a tsunami may accompany the earthquake, make a run for inland or to higher ground once you are sure the earthquake has stopped.\n- Know when to call and when to text during an earthquake; phone calls are best when it’s an emergency, otherwise, reach out via texting.\n- As soon as you get to safety, turn on battery-operated TV or radio for the latest news emergency information and reports.\n- During post-disaster clean-up processes, do not attempt to remove massive wreckage alone lest you injure yourself. Remember to wear protective clothing like gloves and headgear during clean up. If you don’t have any, try to make do with what you can find around.\n- Let your friends and neighbours nearby know that you are okay if you make it without a scratch.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://focusgroupradio.com/posts/view/1763","date":"2024-03-04T16:57:18Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476464.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20240304165127-20240304195127-00449.warc.gz","language_score":0.9738000631332397,"token_count":113,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2024-10","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__142154209","lang":"en","text":"TFG Unbuttoned: Florida Travel Advisory\n04.18.23 | A travel advisory for the State of Florida has been issued for LGBTQ people thinking of heading to the Sunshine State. #EqualityFlorida issued the warning in response to the many hateful anti-LGBTQ laws and policies that the state has enacted.

Cove Green was the home of all sport within the village and the location of all Cove Cricket Club fixtures until the late 1950’s. Minimal records are available in relation to games played during this time, however we are aware of a brief interruption to cricket during the Second World War. At the conclusion of the war, we got back to playing cricket on Cove Green and began the journey to becoming the club we are today.\nThroughout the late 1950’s the club began looking for alternative venues to the local village green. Various army grounds around Aldershot hosted our games, as did a cricket ground attached to Southwood Barracks, now commonly known as Southwood Village. Throughout these early years only one team was fielded, and the majority of the fixtures were local friendly matches. It was during the 1960’s that we began to form a second team and it was this team that returned to our original village green routes at Cove Green. The first team played our games at the ACC ground on Queen’s Avenue in Aldershot for approximately 13 years.\n1970 To 1987\nThroughout the late 60’s and early 70’s the town of Farnborough began to grow due to its favourable location in terms of a train link to London. With Cove being a small village engulfed by this growing town, we began to see cricket become popular not only for the residents of our village, but for the town of Farnborough as a whole.\nThe need for our own ground was becoming an ever-pressing matter for the committee of the day to address. We began by securing the lease of a plot of land running alongside what is now Ambleside Close, right up to where our boundary rope is today. The owner of the land Horace Cutler wished to negotiate with us due to the land being a prime location for a housing estate, and an agreement was reached to secure a long-term lease on the land we call our home today. As we took over the marshlands of our new location, our enthusiastic members set about clearing all of the reeds and sourcing excavated land from the newly build M3 to create the playing field that have provided so many great memories ever since. This same group of members began the monumental task of building a pavilion from scratch, which started with a large trench from Ambleside Close, through to the plot of the modern clubhouse you see today. What was once a dream, a ground and our own pavilion became a reality when the pavilion was officially opened on the 29th September 1972 by Alec Bedser, a Surrey and England player of the time. The first official game on the Grasmere Road turf was on 4th May 1974, where we secured a win against our local rivals Fleet Cricket Club.\nCompetitive cricket was growing steadily in the area throughout the early 1970’s with the formation of the Three Counties Cricket League which brought about more desire for cricket and the need for the formation of our third team. During these years we cemented ourselves as a leading club in North Hampshire with both our First Team (1972 & 1979) and Third Team (1978 & 1979) winning two titles within the decade.\nWe enjoyed continued success throughout the 1980’s with the First Team crowned Champions in 1981 and 1984, the Second Team taking the title in 1986 and 1989 and the Third Teams victorious inaugural league season in 1982. It was during these years that the Aylward Cup was formed, with Cove winning the competition in 1986, 1987 and 1988 as we started our journey to being the most successful side in the history of the competition.\nThe Hurricane of 1987\nIn October 1987, devastation struck the South of England in the form of a hurricane, causing widespread damage on an unprecedented scale. The roof of our pavilion was ripped off and found on the square on the morning of October 16th. In the same way they did 15 years prior, our club members rose to the occasion once again, re-designing and even extending the premises, creating changing rooms, a new kitchen and a pitched tiled roof, creating a club house of a similar look and feel as the one you see today. The re-designed pavilion was ready for its formal unveiling on the opening day of the 1988 season, with the late John Bromley (Head of ITV Sport) doing the honours on the 6th May 1988.\n1988 to 2009\nThe early 90s came with continued success for us as a club on and off the field. In 1993, we achieved our most historic season of all, with our First Team, Second Team and Third Team all winning their respective division of the Three Counties Cricket League without losing a single game. The First Team also achieved the league title in 1992.\nFollowing the 1993 success, we became members of the Thames Valley Cricket League, which was the next stage of our growth as a club. It was this move coupled with the introduction of competitive Sunday cricket that allowed us to place a greater focus on the development of our younger players. As a thriving town, Farnborough and Cove Cricket Club were growing in tandem, and in true Cove Cricket Club fashion, we kept our focus on serving our community by providing personal and sporting development for the young people within our community.\nWhilst any Championship honours eluded us for the rest of the 90’s the success off the field continued. In 1996 plans were drawn up to redevelop the clubhouse further, with a second floor being the proposed home of home, away and umpires changing rooms, along with a balcony to provide the players with their own viewing space for the games. As with all redevelopments, they never come easily, and our members worked tirelessly to obtain support from; The National Lottery, Rushmoor Borough Council and The Foundation for Sports and Art to name a few. The grants provided by these generous organisations allowed for building to start in the autumn of 1998. With the help of outside contractors, the pavilion as we know it today was completed in time for the 1999 season, becoming one of the most state of the art clubhouses in our area.\nThe new Millennium brought with it a new league, as the First Team ventured into the Southern Premier League, and the Second Team finding a home in the Hampshire League situated just below it. This change was short lived with both teams returning to the Thames Valley Cricket League the season after.\nIt was during the 2000’s that Cove Cricket Club started the journey of becoming the social hub that it is today. With our new state of the art pavilion and fantastic grounds, we became the perfect location for social events, charity days, benefit games and private hires. One particular event of note was the benefit 7-a-side tournament of former Cove Junior cricketer and then Hampshire and England off-spinner Shaun Udal.\nCove Cricket Club continued to grow on the field throughout the early Millennium. As time progressed, the Junior section began to form more formally and Cove Cricket Club continued to establish itself as a well-respected producer of fine cricketers, with many representing their County at various age-groups and genders. We briefly fielded an Academy side that promoted young people getting into Senior cricket as they began to graduate from the Junior ranks. Whilst the team isn’t in existence in the present day, its philosophy remains strong as we continue to develop home grown players that are the backbone of all of our senior sides.\n2010, our 75th anniversary was the year for yet another historic milestone for Cove Cricket Club, with the launch of our Ladies section, spearheaded by our very own trailblazer of Women’s cricket in Hampshire, Natasha Marisa (née Raine). Throughout the decade our Women’s section went from strength to strength, with multiple league honours, and we proudly became one of the most respected teams in the County for Women’s cricket.\nIn 2011 the Men’s First Team created history of their own by being promoted from the Thames Valley Cricket League into the Home Counties Premier League. We were proud to remain in the Home Counties Premier League until 2015, when we were relegated on the final day of the season, in a very close-run encounter. Multiple runners up finishes in Thames Valley Division One and a large number of Aylward Cup wins closed out a decade of considerable growth, with a thriving Junior section, a very well-respected Women’s section and five Saturday teams enjoying cricket.\nThe Present Day\nCOVID-19 was the story of 2020, but in a year of so much uncertainty the cricket club was still able to thrive. As soon as the bar could be open, many members could be seen with their own deck chairs on the outfield, getting cold together and enjoying each other’s company after months apart. Success came back to Cove Cricket Club in the 2020 season with the Men’s First Team once again crowned Champions of Thames Valley Division One. The efforts of the committee and all members during the most difficult year since 1987 must be held in the highest regard, as it was a collective effort to ensure the club survived and then thrived.\nIn 2021/22 we saw the completion of many new projects around the club. The net facilities were refurbished after strong negotiations with the council and ESSO over the installation of a pipeline, the old scoreboard was knocked down alongside the groundsman's shed and a new state of the art scoreboard and equipment shed was erected.\nFor 2023 we have seen the completion of our brand-new net facility which has been long in the planning. As we look to the future, we will continue to ensure that Cove Cricket Club grows with and serves the needs of the community by providing enthusiasm, enjoyment, a safe social space and competitive sport for all levels.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://en.giuliadigallese.com/storia","date":"2023-12-05T21:24:37Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100568.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20231205204654-20231205234654-00758.warc.gz","language_score":0.9636421203613281,"token_count":895,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-50","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__60973906","lang":"en","text":"The Church of the Madonna del Riposo stands on a road, active since the Faliscan Etruscan period (6th century BC).\nThe rock tombs and the remains of ancient settlements suggest that the territory next to the church has hosted human presence organized for many centuries. The same structure affects an area affected, since the Middle Ages, by monastic settlements. In fact, the remains of a wall intended to enclose, in ancient times, the convent spaces are noted on the site; the tuff ashlars, irregular in squaring and with minimal remains of mortar, can be traced back to the Middle Ages in shape and size.\nNumerous information from the archives confirm the presence of the religious complex in the 16th century: belonging to the Chapter of the Cathedral of Gallese, it included the Church of the Madonna del Riposo, some rooms for convent use and land cultivated with gardens. On 2 April 1577 the site was donated to the religion of the least, founded by San Francesco di Paola, together with the houses, cisterns, caves and relevant \"canepine\". The conventual settlement bordered the public road and had a vineyard in the back; the current location is, topographically, the same and the word takes its name from the structure itself.\nOn 10 March 1578, Ambrogio Grazia di Gallese donated all his possessions to the religious of the Madonna del Riposo, with the commitment that the city magistracy would have to provide the complex of new religious in case the original friars had abandoned the structure. The current church was built in 1607 in place of the previous one, which must have been in the same area and belonged to the same monastic complex. The reconstruction had begun in 1605 and exactly on April 2, the day on which the bishop Andrea Longo had blessed the cross planted as a sign of sacredness on the place of construction. An inventory of the properties of the Madonna del Riposo, dated April 10, 1618, attests that this church possessed several plots of land, with different destinations (oak groves, olive groves, vineyards and pastures). During this period, three or four monks resided in the monastic structure, among whom two performed the function of confessors. The friars of San Francesco di Paola remained in the convent of Gallese until the time of Innocenzo X (1644 - 1655); when the monastic institution was suppressed in those years, the assets were united with the Episcopal Mass.\nIn 1776, during the visit of the bishop Francesco Maria Forlani, the particular veneration of the faithful for the sacred image of the Blessed Virgin Mary preserved in the church of the Madonna del Riposo is documented. The same interest in the sacred image appears evident in the visit of Bishop Fortunato Maria Ercolani in 1824, who adored the icon and ordered to retouch the background of the painting, placed on the main altar. The first half of the nineteenth century represents a very positive phase for the church of the Beata Vergine Maria del Riposo: between 1842 and 1845 it was restored, as appears from the reports of the respective episcopal visits. In 1851 the sacristy was also restructured but we note the absence of the painting of the main altar, object of particular devotion in previous years. The patron of the restoration of the church appears well documented, in 1863, in the person of Cardinal Paracciani Clarelli.\nThe church in this period was preserved and maintained in good condition by the diligence and care of the Ricci family who owned it; Mass was celebrated there several times a year and by the Cathedral Chapter it was officiated on the third day of the Rogations. In 1875, the Marquis Pietro Ricci, nephew of Cardinal Francesco Ricci, donated the bell to the church. A drawing from the state archive of Rome testifies to what the structure was like in the 19th century. An oral tradition indicates in a fire the cause of the partial destruction of the monastic sector. In the first half of the twentieth century the church and the annexed spaces, after a short period of possession by the Duke of Gallese, were owned by the Calzavara family, from which they were then purchased by the current owners.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://ehradio.wordpress.com/2017/02/13/why-are-non-american-refugees-flooding-accross-our-border/","date":"2018-03-19T18:31:58Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647044.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20180319175337-20180319195337-00636.warc.gz","language_score":0.9596970081329346,"token_count":413,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2018-13","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-13__0__148507763","lang":"en","text":"Today I want to talk about what happening on our border with the US\nThe President of the United states signed an executive order to protect them possible unknown threats\nFirst of all, I congratulate him on doing his Job.

Also, one lynx was seen, not to exclude all the others: moose, caribou, elk, to name a few. The marine mammals were all represented too. The weather started off warm, and spring came in fast. The flowers were in bloom within days. All the tours and attractions were up and running, even the Yukon spring breakup came before we arrived. The luxury of using the George Black ferry was appreciated. Even Mount McKinley showed its face one afternoon. The King Salmon Derby was going on in Anchorage and someone in our group caught a 40lb Halibut. Many photos and shared filets for all. With only two days of rain, less bugs and 22 hours of sunlight, the first tour is always a hit.\nThe second tour started warmish. The baby animals were adolescents. The Salmon were running up every creek and stream. Of course, the bears were right in the middle of the fight, big and fat. The Fireweed and all the arctic flowers were in full bloom, carpeting the whole countryside. We found gold while panning on Bonanza Creek in Dawson. Fairbanks tours were great. Just about everyone went on all tours and had a great time. No accidents, two flat tires (we repaired them on the road with our handy tire repair kit). Mount McKinley was showing from top to bottom with a full moon in the background (a real Kodak moment). Plus, we saw the \"Northern Lights\" almost every night the last two weeks of the tour. Alaska State Fair was fun. Near the end of the trip we could tell Fall was in the air. The short and fast Summer had come to an end. As we drove back down the ALCAN, every tree and bush had turned gold. It would be a sad occasion normally, but we know we are going back again next year. I can’t wait for next Summer and all the new friends and adventures it will bring.\nWe keep our caravans down to 18-22 rigs so we can see and do more. Unfortunately, there is limited space. I hope to see you on the tour, so make your reservations now. (Good Sam, FMCA and AARP, when signing up, don’t forget to ask for your free vest.)\nAugust 9, 2013\nBC in glacier country. A Sarah Palin coffee mug was ours for coming the furthest to join the group. Yippie!\nOur caravan leader, bearded professor, Spike, was in his element during the first of three orientations. Geologic history, Gitxsan, First People history (don’t call them Indians or Native People in Canada), VHF Radio explanation (we communicate in our vehicles with these devices), ¼ inch of daily tour information.\nSpike’s lecture on Coping made the most impression. Why didn’t I hear this earlier in the week when we were on a steep, glaciated mountain dirt road with gullies on both sides! Like any good teacher covering bases, Spike modeled the proper coping procedure we should use: Camper, “Help, there is a G.D. leak in my rig!” Spike “Not coping too well this morning, are you” Better way, according to Spike, speak first to Jim (tail gunner/ volunteer assistant) “There seems to be water leaking in my rig. Please put me on Roger’s list.”(Roger is our resident mechanic).\nOk, instead of screeching, “Wayne, I can’t take this anymore. Are you trying to kill us!” I should say, “Wayne, dear, I fear we are going off the road into the brink.” Easier to be nice to strangers than spouses.\nAlways an encounter to keep things in perspective. Just met a lady from Virginia, a psychologist, who lost her husband a year ago after being a caregiver for a long time. So how does she cope? She bought a trailer. She and her girlfriend took off for adventure.\nFirst tour – We caravan in our tow vehicles or trucks to totem central in First People’s town of Kispiox. Do you know why authentic totem poles are bare\npart way up? It is an artistic devise to draw the eye to the top, where there will be special carving. We expect to be full esoteric info.!\nSecond orientation meeting – The Bear Lecture among other important things:\n80 % of bear population is in Alaska. Next we head to Hyder, Alaska, famed for its congregation of bears catching spawning salmon. Although there was a bear trap in Jasper and signs everywhere warning, “Watch for bears”, so far we have only seen one black bear by the highway surrounded by curious travelers\nIf we ever do meet a bear, we will be prepared with this information when panic sets in:\n· Don’t get between a bear and its food stash or its cubs.\n· Make noise, sing or carry jingle bells, so Mr Bear will not be surprised.\n· Make yourself as tall as possible. Sure!\n· Never run\n· Back away. Don’t scream or panic.\nAnd if ever one is touched by a bear, check to see if it is a grizzly or a black bear\nIf grizzly, drop into a fetal position. Hopefully Mr. Grizzly will decide you are not a threat and only cuff you a little. If black bear, do not drop, he will think of you as prey. Grab a stick, shout, and slap at that bear. He will decide you are not worth it and retreat. Oh, we caravaners love this bear talk. Only one of Spike’s guests ever had a close and personal encounter with a grizzly at Hyder and she froze. The bear went on by.\nAugust 11, Hyder, Alaska, Bears and Bear Man.\nOff to Hyder - Linda off to see the bears. Wayne, bears, yes, and banking. Need to do a little banking. Googled Hyder - - population 80. Well, so much for banking.\nAt the elevated wooded walkway in Hyder’s National Park’s Wilderness Center, there are bears, big brown grizzlies, roaming the creek, snatching spawning salmon. We see more bears, smaller black ones, in natural habitat, at the dump, or by the post office, or by the car while Wayne sits waiting for Linda, who is looking for bears elsewhere.\nWe caravan with trucks and cars forty-five miles on a dirt and gravel road up the mountains through mining country, passing downward speeding double trucks loaded with gold ore, $500,000 truck load. (Wayne always thought gold came from the first counter at Costco at Xmas.)\nThe summit – the parking lot, size 200 X 200 ft., looks down, across, and up the crevassed Salmon Glacier with its blue translucent tinges.\nDirty pup tent, old car, small, portable table with postcards and DVD glacier displays, only fixed structure, a public outhouse. Bear Man, Linda pictured a heavily bearded mountain man. On the edge of the cliff, a short, lean, mildly grizzled, jeans and plaid shirt clad, seventy-seven year old guy – Meet “Bear Man”. More like a brown PG&E type worker, thought Wayne. Mosquitoes buzzed weirdly around his baseball hat. For 16 summers he has lived alone beside the summit parking lot of this glacier. He hikes down steer walls, over and under sixty foot glacier caverns. Here’s part of his story:\nReal sphincter tightness when you hear a cracking above you. People hike ONCE with me. They don’t like that you have to crawl up this steep cliff to get back to parking lot.\nThis is the greatest day of my life. Just experienced the big plug break loose. That enabled glacier water to flow down to the river with 100 X 100 ft. blue ice chunks. About time to amble back to my family in New Brunswick.\nBear Man used to lecture at schools back home.\nIn response to Wayne’s brilliant question, “With all these beautiful mountains and glaciers, where are all the other hikers?” “Well son, people don’t much like to hike where there are grizzlies.”\nBears, you should hear Bear Man’s other stories, particularly the one about his defensive curling into fetal position during bear attack.\nOur own caravan’s local color: Four Floridian couples and three Texans, a sprinkling of Mid Westerners, Tennesseans, Arkansans, and Coloradans (Is that right?). We are the only Californians. Wayne is colorful, but I think the Texans and Floridians have him beat.\nThe Texans are nice, outgoing. Couple #1, the Tines: Judy, Texan country club dress, Chuck, ironed Levis with a crease; both have smart black cowboy hats with silver bands. Wayne’s idea of formality: small coffee stains are okay. Sometime ago Judy fell off a dam wall and broke her back, so she walks with a red designer cane. She is upbeat, goes with the flow even up the Chillkoot trail. Tines’ description of their first date - hunting. Judy drops a deer with one shot at 250 yards. Chuck, “Now what?” Judy, “Hang it from that tree over there and you can filet it.”\nChuck, “Dear, you shoot it, but you can’t clean it?” Judy, “We always have people to do that.”\nTexans #2, from Corpus Christie Beach - Doug, retired contractor of large homes, his second wife, Connie, slightly younger, pretty platinum Marilyn Monroe type. Yes, she has them.\nOut there friendly, Connie, was raised as a daughter of missionary parents on Chinle Reservation, married at a young age to an American Indian, had 6 children from this marriage, stayed single until they were raised. Presently, she is trying to sell their beach front home. “He is always downstairs somewhere and I’m upstairs. I am tired of living separate lives in this big house. I want to go full time so we can spend more time together.” Spunky gal, at our first Sunday prayer group, Connie sang acapella (spelling, can’t find it?) Yes, our leader Spike holds a Sunday service when we are far afield of churches. Spike’s first sermon, Coping. Linda took that one to heart. Second sermon, Thankfulness. Oh, yes.\nRelating the previous Texan stories to Peter, visiting German architect on RV staff, he replied, “First time in Texas I went to a bar/restaurant; I said to my wife, oh, God, we interrupted a costume party”. Wife, “No, dear, this is normal Texan get up.”\nOnward to Skagway and Dawson City, Yukon Territory\nSkagway, Alaska, our caravan riffraff met the “Boat People”, cruise ship tourists, so named by our caravan leader, Spike. He handed out disinfectant so we wouldn’t catch colds from the hordes of people on the streets. Our RV’s shared the docks with cruise ships at a harbor with unbelievable glacier views.\nA little cultural education Klondike style: Linda in Skagway bookstore, Wayne dragged her down the street past five or six jewelry stores into the Red Onion Saloon, a bar and standard restaurant. End of room, high above the crowd, twelve wide stairs, the Brothel Entrance. A scantily clad hostess entreated us to tour the infamous upstairs. Tickets purchased, Linda hunkered down behind the other ticket holders so nobody from California, particularly former students would see her. Brothel’s business model was unique. On the bar sat a selection of porcelain dolls. These were models of “Ladies of Negotiable Affection”. Customer made a selection and the doll was laid horizontally on the bar. Proceeding upstairs, client paid $5.00 for 15 minutes with the lady. Our tourist ladies gasped at this statement. In each room was a “money hole” where the Klondiker sent his gold dust via copper tubing to the bartender below. The bartender, in a timely, fashion, returned the corresponding doll to a vertical position. Ready for another go! Another tidbit: Thin ladies were considered unhealthy (wasting sickness). The fuller the woman, the greater the fee, the ladies were weighed! This desire for added bulk led to heavy gowns with metal sewed into hems. The phrase, “worth their weight in gold” was born. You can’t get this on PBS.\nClimbed a quarter of a mile of the steep Chilkoot Trail, boarded a catamaran to visit Juneau, Mendenhall Glacier & its hungry BEARS, took a dog sled, stayed in Yukon’s biggest city, Whitehorse, heard No. 1 rated Iditarod musher, Michelle Phillips, became one of her sponsors – enough experiences to write a book!\nOnto our favorite place, remote Dawson City, Yukon Territory- its permafrost tilted wooden buildings sat beside dirt like roads. The town had real dirt roads until a few yrs. ago when roads were paved with dirt like stain material imported from France. Really! Still there was plenty of real dirt, enough so this town felt authentic. Poetry readings of famed local poet, Robert Service, (full hour, extemporaneous), a tour of Jack London’s reconstructed cabin, Wayne loved Dawson’s colorful features, but not as much as brothel tour.\nFifteen miles up a gravel road along Dawson’s Bonanza Creek, site of original Klondike gold strike, we panned for gold and found many heavy flecks along with garnets & agates! When we panned, our findings were often classified, “Well, it looks like gold to me!” Panning results, not living up to rich expectations, was improved when Wayne exchanged pan for American Express card and bought Linda a nice, petite, gold nugget, a memory. Active claims on both sides of Bonanza Road came with the warning, DO NOT TRESPASS. It was unbelievable how many active mining concerns and heavy machinery were still operating. Canadian gov’t bought one claim so tourists and its citizens could try gold panning in this historic spot. Government’s rule was pan no more than twice a year. No Canadian official was ever there that we saw. Honor system in play, I guess. THIS WAS NOT DISNEYLAND.\nOne advantage of this tour, Spike, with his twenty years’ experience and running radio commentary, took us where no other RV tours usually go. From Dawson to Tok, it’s one hundred and eighty seven miles. Six-thirty in the morning, twenty-five rigs poised on the dirt banks of the rushing, mist shrouded Yukon River, ready to cross on a single flatbed ferry, which carried just two rigs per trip. Then up the hill to the famed “Top of the World Highway”\nIn the U.S. we build highways in valleys; in Canada they build on the top of mountains. A winding road of dirt and gravel with many construction stop. Alaska and Yukon have two seasons, Winter One, Construction Two. We drove only 25-30 MPH.\nEncounter with clusters of caribou hunters (30,000 out there), with tents, rifles, and ATV’s, hunters camped along the road awaiting start of hunting season. Rolling along the highway with its unlimited panoramas, we looked down to a creek, spied a bloody tarp with a caribou head and a lucky hunter dressing the kill. Not exactly Safeway. Folks here still depend on freezers full of game and fish. Indian joke: What do you call vegetarian Indian? Poor shot!\nStopped in Chicken (Yes, that is the town, so named when the founder couldn’t spell Ptarmigan, the chicken like Alaska State bird), one of the coldest spots in North American, minus 70 degrees in winter. How cold was it along this highway? It closed this year in September just after we left. Prior to 1949 sled dog was the only means of access to the area in winter.\nNo ordinary guide in Chicken. Former (36 yrs. ago) Head of Education flew in his plane over our waiting heads to give us a tour of the abandoned, historic town of Chicken. This delightful gentleman originally got his job serving 38,000 square miles because he could fly a plane. Chicken was a highlight for Linda. She loved visiting the one room school house and bedroom annex of Tisha, biography’s name and the Indian name for teacher. Tisha was a young, naive teacher, who in 1929, went from Oregon to teach in the bush. Her story, harrowing, heartwarming, came to life.\nBelieve us, this was another world! In Tok, celebrated our “survival” of the Top of the World Highway with a pancake toss, one of the games natives of Alaska dream up during winter cabin fever and then reevaluate during the spring. No one in our group under Spike’s and mechanic Roger’s watch had serious RV problems, broken suspensions, cracked windshields, or rig fires. More common than not! Hurrah! Not to minimize trouble, one of our caravan friends was delayed due to surgery for a broken arm. They had a tire blow out and a terrible rig fire. Thankfully, they escaped, but lost their fifth wheel.\nOkay, most famous bar game, the Dawson Toe – In the news recently - Google it! Similar game, they wouldn’t give Wayne the name, involved dog testicles. Don’t Google.\nWinter lottery game for the folks during river ice “Break-Up”: A tripod of tree limbs is placed on the ice. The time and date when it falls over indicates break-up day. In a small Yukon village, Nitichka, (sp.) we participated in town’s lottery by predicting a late June break-up. Getting tired of Schwab not having the results we want!\n“Well, pilgrims,” as John Wayne frequently said, “Let’s head’em out!” On to Denali and finally Homer, the most western end of continental U.S. Key West, Florida, to Homer, Alaska, a nice little drive.\nFinal Alaskan Trekker Tales – Denali, Fairbanks, Anchorage, Homer, and Home\nDenali - Biting wind swept through our RV park. Rigs, jammed behind tourist storefronts, the last commercial facade before entering the national park. Brilliant red moss and scarlet fireweed blanketed endless tundra. From our little green tourist bus, we craned to catch specks on steep mountainsides, a momma bear with two cubs, Dall sheep, and a few caribou. Teeming with wildlife? Not exactly! Finally, a moose foraged close by. Mt. McKinley was somewhere in the clouds.\nFairbanks – a gritty town - Great museum at University of Alaska, mix of natural history, geology, Alaskan art in a contemporary building atop a hill overlooking a vast countryside. We took a memorable Sternwheeler ride past the home of Iditarod’s Susan Butcher onto a stop at replica of a Native Alaskan Village. Reminiscent of Disneyland, it was way too pretty to be authentic. Never-the-less we loved it, especially the charming Native Alaskan college guides and the caribou herd that galloped out on command as the boat approached.\nFurther south, Anchorage - Now this was the real thing, the Alaskan Fur Exchange. Piled and hung was every kind of animal fur you can imagine. Some critters’ heads and feet were off; most stared with teeth grinning and claws sharpened. All were for sale. Visited a knife shop nearby, avoided special locked cases of “weapons for military and police” Didn’t want to know! Sea planes docked everywhere. Number of pilots licenses in Alaska 1/7or 1/17? A lot!\nIt was raining in the rain forest, as we rode through a local Anchorage\npark. Linda needed to see an urban moose.\n“Drive slow. You are driving too fast. Can’t see into the woods. Slower! You are doing better. Are you watching your side? You are stopped. You can’t stop HERE!”\n“Linda, a rather large moose is standing by the front left fender”.\n“Oh!” Click, Click, Click, Click.\nAt the southernmost tip of the Kenai Peninsula on a little spit of land was the City of Homer. In Homer’s mud and water, Wayne loved wearing his knee high boots. Berthed in the harbor were ships from “World’s Most Dangerous Catch”. Big, dark, and dirty, they would fit well in a Stephen King novel. Here was the world’s best halibut fishing and also a lot of eagles. Picture our little 9 lb. Shih Tsu running free on Homer’s 35 foot tidal plane and Linda, scrabbling and screaming, as she spied eagles perched on a tree trunk beached on the sand. Meanwhile, Wayne couldn’t pass up a day of fishing. “Lots of big halibut here,” thought Wayne. Prior to his trip, Linda handed him a paper with names and addresses to send the extra frozen catch. The result: nice day, but how do you split up 5 lb. halibut among three recipients? Our tiny freezer nicely accommodated his catch.\nBrave cold and possibly choppy waters, not Linda! She and four other gals took off for a Russian village for Samovar tea. Thirty miles down an obscure road, we came to the onion domed church of Nikolaevsk. Among nondescript, one-story track homes of the village, was the combination house, café, B. &B., and gift shop of Nina Fefelov. From the moment we stepped into Madam Nina’s “Cafe/Living room”, we seventy year olds were transported back to being chatty school girls. “No talking while I tell my story and pour tea. If you like photos with ME, then you must dress up like proper Russian folk.” And so we did. With Russian fur hats and head scarves, colorful skirts and shirts, we giggled through photo taking. Amid floor to ceiling relics and gift items, we carefully ate borsch, piroshki, dessert, and sipped local Russian red fire weed tea. Madam Nina, you found your calling – civilizing tourists.\nKenai - another great fishing opportunity, salmon this time. Six thirty on a dark and FRIGID morning on the misty Kenai River, reluctantly, Linda headed out with Wayne and our fishing guide. “We won’t catch much today. Recent storms churned up the waters,” apologized our guide, Mark. “Great, here we go again,” thought Wayne. Three hours later, Linda freezing and huddled over her iPhone, texted to distract from the cold. (Jeans, long underwear, a sweater, sweatshirt, and jacket didn’t cut it) Result: one beautiful 10 lb. silver salmon. Wayne felt badly until he heard no one else caught anything that day. Again our freezer was full! Mark, warmly dressed in oil cloth, was young, big, all shoulders. Aren’t they all! He had three different boats for three different water ways. He and his wife camp out when hunting and fishing on the tundra. His interest (Wayne always asked what people did for fun.) was bow hunting where one had to get within 45 yards to shoot. Hunting and fishing were not hobbies here. They were subsistence goals. This young man had three 4’X 8’ freezers full of fish, venison, caribou, and bear. He never bought any protein.\nDone! Homeward! “Linda, do you realize where our guy, Spike, left us? THREE THOUSAND AND THREE HUNDRED UNESCORTED MILES from home! Stocked with extra tires, hoses, filters, flares, Wayne had no idea what to do with any of them. He previously relied on American Express, AAA, Good Sam, a handful of twenty dollar bills, and Linda showing a little cleavage in a pinch. Isolation descended. No people, no cars, no towns, no cellphones. Every fifty miles was a small paramedic truck parked in the forest. Off we went over roads buckled with permafrost. It was like riding on the sloped back of an elephant while trying stay in the middle. All the while, Linda shouted, “Fissure on the right! Watch out, pot hole on the left! That was a big one! Didn’t you see that? Truck coming, slow down; a rock will break the windshield!”\nFortunately, from Spike, we learned the trick to driving Alaskan highways: Drive forty miles an hour or risk a broken suspension and other calamities; all the better to see hills of yellow aspen, dark spruce flecked with snow, and white crested mountains.\nOnly 3,150 miles to go of endless terrain - There was the Yukon border. Down a hill in darkness in the middle of nowhere was the White River RV Park. Check- in included the usual stuffed grizzly and wolf greeting us at the door. The proprietor was an attractive, smiling, single, Irish lady who homeschooled her son in this isolated place. Her son had just left for U. B.C Vancouver to major in physics. In Canada no credit given for race or socio/economic circumstances – Take the test, get grade, that’s it. At least that is how it used to be.\nAfter a very cold night, both propane tanks were empty. “Holy smoke!” “What is it?” “Come out here.” “We camped at the foot of a glacier.” Mountains glistened in the sun as circling clouds parted on a magnificent panorama.\nWayne doesn’t take photos. Linda does. It was her turn to drive. Picture a short lady on two pillows driving the truck and rig one-handed, right hand wavering over the dash and snapping essential pictures. Wayne, both eyes closed, teeth clenched, experienced a small taste of religion as truck and rig fish tailed down the road.\nRoad construction with time for conversation: Cute, blond, bundled up, surfer type, looked all of sixteen years old, waved a flag. STOP.\n“What do you do for fun?” Wayne asked his perpetual question.\n“After my 12 hour work days on construction, I hunt, hike and fish,” answered the gal with the $10,000 orthodontic smile.\n“You hunt!” quipped Wayne. (Sexist, oh, oh)\n“I’m ALASKAN, you know. We all hunt!”\n“What do you hunt?”\n“Mostly small animals, recently my brother took me out to get my first caribou.”\n“Well- - -.”\n“He took MY shot! Showing off to his new girlfriend, my brother took MY SHOT. Going out again for caribou without him, nobody takes MY SHOT! Road’s clear. You can go now.”\nRolling through beautiful scenery, we finally hit West Vancouver in an RV park at the base of northern end of Lion’s Gate Bridge. A five minute walk on a bridge over the rushing Capiliano River, we watched with envy men and women catching 10-20 lb. salmon.\nWayne mused, ”Think I would like to rent a rod and go down there.”\nSmiling neighbor, a white spectator, answered, “No, you won’t.”\n“Fishing here is only for First Nation People. Sorry, pal.”\nRaining like heck. No place on the street or in a parking garage for a truck as tall as ours. Only small vehicles encouraged in Vancouver. So we slogged a mile + to a fish and chips shop. On the way we stopped at snappy furniture store for small spaces. We bought some imported furniture for Sea Ranch. Deciding to save costs, we stuffed four boxed chairs and a glass coffee table into the rig and truck. We headed south. Imagine. Pause. The Beverly Hillbillies with small, dirt encrusted, dented and damaged rig arriving stateside.\nFamily Motor Coach Association (FMCA) article on the rising gas costs and RV travel\nStudy: Motorhome trips cost less\nMotorhome owners enjoy the advantages of traveling in a vehicle equipped with all the comforts of home ...\nAvoiding airport lines and luggage restrictions. Having the flexibility to go where they want, when they want. Not having to pack and unpack their belongings in hotels or meet hotel check-in and check-out times.\nNow, they can also bask in the glow of reports that RV travel costs less than other modes of travel such as car, train and plane.\nDespite this summer’s record-high gas prices, RV trips remain the least expensive type of vacation, according to the results of a new study comparing vacation costs.\nPKF Consulting, an internationally recognized consulting firm with expertise in travel and tourism, concluded that “typical RV family vacations are on average 26 to 74 percent less expensive than other types of vacations studied.”\nFor example, the study showed that a family of four traveling by type C motorhome from Washington, D.C., to Dennis Port, Mass., for 10 days would save $974, or 34 percent, over going by car.\nPKF analyzed major costs that would be incurred by families taking nine different types of vacations to popular travel destinations such as the Grand Canyon; Orlando, Fla.; Cape Cod; Napa, Calif.; and Alaska.\nPKF selected three types of RVs typically used by families for vacation purposes, including the type C motorhome.\n“In all cases, RV trips were more economical than other vacations analyzed, regardless of trip duration, distance or region of the country,” said Kannan Sankaran, PKF’s lead researched for the study. “Even if fuel prices were to rise by up to 50 percent, our data show that each RV vacation would still be significantly less expensive.”\nVacations using a personal car, staying in hotels and eating in restaurants — the least expensive of the non-travel options — were found to be 36 percent more costly on average than going by RV.\nThe study showed, for example, that a family of four traveling by type C motorhome from Washington, D.C., to Dennis Port, Mass., for 10 days would save $974, or 34 percent, over going by car.\nOn a trip from Atlanta to Orlando for the week, a family of four would save $1,658, or 53 percent, by traveling in their motorhome and staying in campgrounds averaging $27 per night, instead of flying, renting a car, or staying in hotels averaging $125 per night and eating in restaurants.\nShorter getaways also were found to be more economical by RV. A family taking a three-day motorhome trip from Pittsburgh, Pa., to Lancaster, Pa., would save $1,049 – or 62 percent.\n“While fuel costs are a component of the overall vacation costs,” Kannan said, “fluctuations in fuel prices aren’t significant enough to affect a family’s decision of whether or not to take RV trips over other types of vacations.”\nIn addition to major expenditures required from the start to finish of each vacation, PKF factored in an estimated cost of ownership of the RVs analyzed. Research included documenting average ownership periods, residual values, annual days of use, insurance and applicable IRS interest deductions for second-home mortgages.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://businesstime.ae/7-factors-which-make-dubai-attractive-for-investors/","date":"2023-03-23T23:09:11Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945218.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20230323225049-20230324015049-00164.warc.gz","language_score":0.9517253041267395,"token_count":639,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-14","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-14__0__81264730","lang":"en","text":"UAE is the number one country in terms of economic growth in the Middle East region. In the UAE, Dubai is a city which is continuously gaining popularity as an international business centre. Let’s list out some important factors which make Dubai an attractive location to start a business for entrepreneurs all around the world.\nBeing near to Asia, Africa, as well as Europe, Dubai has become a favourite location to start a business. Dubai’s proximity to Asian giants like China and India makes it a strategic business location.\n- Stable political and social atmosphere\nSince the country’s inception in 1971, the UAE has shown political stability, which has accelerated the country’s development. Apart from that, Dubai has been widely viewed as one of the most secure, prosperous, vibrant, as well as inclusive cities in the world. Various studies have shown that Dubai is a city with a high quality of life index, revealing Dubai’s peaceful social atmosphere.\n- Availability of free zones and lenient tax regulations\nThough having some restrictions in business operations, Dubai gives the provision of 100% business ownership to foreign investors through regions called ‘Free Zones’. In Dubai, every company is tax- free, irrespective of being located in mainland or free zone.\n- Growing economy and investment-friendly policies\nDubai is a leading city in economic growth in the entire Middle East. Today, Dubai has been diversified away from the Oil industry to areas like Tourism, Transportation, Logistics and Trade, making it a stable economy. To be added, Dubai’s Department of Economic Development (DED) churn out policies and provides every support to maintain a favourable atmosphere for local as well as foreign investments.\n- Most modern Infrastructure\nBe it road, port, or airport, Dubai’s transportation as well as telecommunication networks are considered to be among the best in the world. Dubai government puts more focus and invest heavily in infrastructure development, especially after finalising Dubai as the host city for World Expo 2020.\n- Availability of quality human resources\nMajority of Dubai’s population are expats from foreign countries. Being a growing economy with liberal labour rules, Dubai attracts numerous professionally qualified and expert human resources from other countries. Now, the UAE government has started to extensively train the local Emirati population to be skilled for employment.\n- Strong legal system\nDubai was one among the first place in Emirates which allowed foreign ownership of properties and stocks. The UAE’s legal system is continuously updated with newer policies, regulations, and incentives to attract foreign investments. Being a member of various international establishments to protect intellectual property, UAE’s intellectual property laws are strong and compliant to international standards.\nBut, irrespective of all these advantages, UAE’s strict regulations make the process of setting up a business in Dubai a tedious procedure. So, it is always advisable to take help from an expert business set up partner who is equipped with thorough knowledge about the UAE’s legal and procedural regulations as well as the country’s culture, if you want to start your business in Dubai.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://philosophyofappreciation.wordpress.com/2021/11/17/on-the-mystery-of-the-sea/","date":"2023-06-01T03:14:30Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224647525.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20230601010402-20230601040402-00328.warc.gz","language_score":0.9660536646842957,"token_count":938,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-23","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__157774493","lang":"en","text":"The sea is one of the most beautiful and mysterious places in the world. Whenever I’m at the beach, I always find myself staring into the vast, blue world that stretches out into the horizon. It may sound strange, but more often than not, I prefer sitting in the sand and listening to the waves rather than going for a swim. The sea is one of those places where I feel completely at peace, content to watch the world go by.\nThis feeling of respite when looking at the sea is not a new thing for me as I get older. It has been a consistent feeling throughout my life, and I never get tired of it. I never form a new perspective because the current lens that I have is already perfect. The sea always has that mysterious, spiritual effect on me. I don’t know why that is, and I may never know why. However, that is a good thing for me. There are some mysteries in life that we will never discover, and I have accepted that. Maybe the peaceful charm of the sea persists throughout history precisely because we never know much about it.\nI am speaking purely from a personal perspective. I know that each of us has our perspective about the sea. Fishermen and sailors might love the sea more than I do, but they may view it more as a source of livelihood; whereas, for me, I look at the sea as a way to relax, to clear my thoughts.\nI sometimes think about why I find the sea so beautiful. In its essence, it is just a huge body of water that moves in its own direction, unencumbered by time. But every time I visit the shoreline, I always feel the same amount of mysteriousness and awe that I have already felt when I was a child. The blue hue of the sea…it never fails to captivate me.\nMany of the stories I have written have been inspired by the sea. I don’t mean that most of my stories are nautically related. Instead, when I look at the waves, I undergo some sort of trance and a new story is slowly forming itself in my mind. This is another reason why I find the sea so mysterious. It has the power to spark my imagination. Thoughts, ideas, and stories that I have never thought about before become easily apparent in my mind. It almost feels like they were buried deep in my subconscious all along. It is an astonishing feeling.\nThe mysterious beauty of the sea also has a different effect on me depending on the time of day. If I visit the beach in the morning, I feel like the most positive person in the world. The morning breeze, the pale blue color of the sea, and the gentle sound of the waves fill me with so much hope and promise for the future. I feel as if I can do anything and be anything that I want.\nLooking at the sea during sunset, a feeling of wonder and awe for nature rises inside me. I feel very appreciative of the earth we live on. The golden hues of the sun, bringing colors to the sky, land, and sea, turn nature into something heavenly. At that moment, I keep on realizing the same thing throughout my life: that the world is beautiful, and one of the greatest joys in life is in appreciating that beauty.\nAt night, when I cannot see beyond the shoreline except when the moonlight is bright, I feel somber and reflective of my life, the experiences that I have undergone, and the choices I made. I think this mood happens because of the pervading darkness that surrounds me on the shoreline, accompanied by a chilly wind. Nevertheless, I can still hear the waves, even though I cannot clearly see them. That calming feeling of the water splashing on the sands, it helps me realize that no matter how dark my surrounding gets, the world still revolves around and life moves on.\nLooking back at all my experiences with the sea, the mysterious feeling it consistently conjures on me is because that I haven’t been spending that much time beside it. I don’t live by the shoreline so I only visit the beaches rarely. Maybe if I spend more time beside the sea, my perspective will evolve; or maybe it’s because of this rarity that the sea always puts me in a trance whenever I visit it. I must visit more often because I am excited to learn more.\nWhat about you, dear reader, besides the common vacation activities, what kinds of feelings arise when you visit the sea?","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://donovanac.com/jacksonville-beach-ac-repair/","date":"2020-04-01T08:37:42Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370505550.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200401065031-20200401095031-00412.warc.gz","language_score":0.9349398612976074,"token_count":243,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2020-16","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-16__0__209399411","lang":"en","text":"Jacksonville Beach AC Repair\nThe geographic area known as Jacksonville Beach is the largest town center in the Beaches community, which extends from the mouth of the St. Johns River south along the Atlantic Ocean into the northern area of St. Johns County.

What is a hawk watch? Its a location where migrating birds of prey (hawks, eagles, falcons, etc.) are counted as they fly by in an effort to study their population, migration paths, species accounts and many other things which are studied from the data collected at count sites located around the world.

One of the most famous hawk watch sites in the eastern U.S. is Hawk Mountain Sanctuary located in Eastern Pennsylvania.

It includes a large scale sewer network database model, including a graphic component, which enables all sewer data to be presented visually using all graphical backgrounds, tables, reports and graphs.\nIn function of the different users and customer needs, AquaGis attributes a number of components, each defined specifically in function of the needs of the user groups.\nA first component of the software includes data collection and configuration of the sewer database. By using clear import forms, inventoried data is introduced in the database, allowing a visual control and using a graphical background. Validation rules guarantee a high quality of the results using the Aquagis tool. Moreover import & export modules allow data to be transferred smoothly from and into external applications by means of open standards (XML, csv, txt flat files).\nThe elaboration of sewer models forms an important 2nd feature of AquaGis. Based on information stored in a sewer database, possible model data such as contributing, paved, roofed areas, inflow hydrograms and Q/ h-curves are added, both graphically and in table form. Hydraulic structures can be described in detail by means of several control-links. Finally AquaGis supports an integrated import & export module to the Infoworks modelling software.\nThe third component of AquaGis, creates an environment to introduce mastering data in the model. Using input from camera inspections, field inventories, exports of GIS-datalayers, survey data such as ‘As Is‘ situations, above ground situations, risk areas, … a large scale of different features are integrated in the database. Based on these data, strategic analyses can be made and structural, social and environmental characteristics are accurately assessed.\nBy using a central sewer database, besides local sewer databases, it is possible to make the sewer data available to employees in the field, partners and customers by using AquaGis4Web, the web version of AquaGis. In this way, easy access to the most recent data, without need for updating, is accomplished.\nThe disadvantages of combined sewers are a well known phenomena, but due to historical and economical reasons, it is almost impossible to rebuild an existing network in a separate sewage and rainfall transport system. This combined system has limitations in transport capacity during exceptional rainfall events, sedimentation problems, uncontrolled flooding as a result of increasing urbanisation, ecological impact of overflows during rainfall events (first flush) causing either pollution of the receiving river or major shock loads to the WWTP.\nModelling of networks will help the customer in the concept of an appropriate design fulfilling the criteria set in terms of capacity, water velocity, number of overflows and acceptable risk of flooding. Modelling of networks is nowadays a common tool and is integrated in Aquafin under the Hydronaut procedure.

Contrary to popular belief, the melting of the polar ice caps (ice floating on water in the Arctic Ocean and Antarctic Seas) is not contributing directly to any raises in ⦠From CFACT:. the south pole ice caps are on land. Climate change is heating up the Arctic faster than anywhere else, and sea ice is shrinking 14 percent per decade. The single-day maximum extent in 2014 was reached on 20 Sep, according to NSIDC data, when the sea ice covered 7.78 million square miles (20.14 million square kilometers). Impacts will be global. Unlike Antarctica, thereâs no land at the North Pole. , Data collected in 2001 from NASA missions to Mars show that the southern residual ice cap undergoes sublimation inter-annually. In summer the polar caps are intensively contracted (CO 2 ice is sublimated), and in winter time the caps are enlarged (gaseous CO 2 is condensed from the atmosphere). Warming of any floating polar caps are not the biggest concern of flooding, because the ice is already floating, and its melting would not cause ocean levels to rise by itself (Archimedes principle).  The conditions that the exposed sea water causes, and the conditions causing the ice caps to melt are very threatening however. For example, Earth's polar caps are mainly water ice, whereas Mars's polar ice caps are a mixture of solid carbon dioxide and water ice. Additionally, in geologic time scales, the ice caps may grow or shrink due to climate variation. A polar ice cap is a region of land at the North or South Pole of a planet that is covered with ice.

According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (), ice currently covers 6 million square miles, or one tenth the Land area on Earth, about the area of South America.Floating ice, or Sea Ice, alternately called Pack Ice at the North and South Poles covers 6% of the oceanâs surface (), an area similar to North America.The most important measure of ice is its thickness. For polar bears, the sea ice is a crucial platform for life. The Arctic region is in even greater danger from global warming than Antarctica is, since unlike in the south polar region, the majority of the ice in the north pole is sea ice and is consequently much more likely to melt than the land ice in south pole. Particularly, the 81.4 kilometres (50.6 mi) wide Korolev Crater, is estimated to contain approximately 2,200 cubic kilometres (530 cu mi) of water ice exposed to the surface. From my research, I have found different values for the volume of the polar ice caps. Today, polar ice caps are melting six times faster than they did in the 1990s. * Thermal Expansion: When water heats up, it expands. In short, there's a difference between sea ice and land ice. Large packs of ice formed in the Polar Regions are polar ice caps. Land ice â also called âglaciersâ or âice sheetsâ â is ice that has accumulated over time on land. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Regular variations of the ice caps occur because of the varied solar energy absorption as the earth revolves around the sun. A new sculpture floating in the Thames River is catching eyes and raising awareness of melting ice caps. The Polar Ice Caps dramatic decrease in size in recent years has been seen by many people as evidence of Global warming. A polar ice cap or polar cap is a high-latitude region of a planet, dwarf planet, or natural satellite that is covered in ice.. At a Glance. Polar ice caps are made of fresh water, so adding more fresh water without adding more salt makes the ocean water less saline. Seasonal variations of the ice caps takes place due to varied solar energy absorption as the planet or moon revolves around the Sun. Icebergs are large floating chunks of ice. Ice shelves are massive, floating platforms of ice that surround the ice-covered continents of Antarctica and Greenland. Extent of the Arctic sea-ice in September 1978 – 2002, Extent of the Arctic sea-ice in February 1978 – 2002, The Blue Marble, Earth as seen from Apollo 17 with the southern polar ice cap visible (courtesy NASA), Earth's North Pole is covered by floating pack ice (sea ice) over the Arctic Ocean. Global warming due to the greenhouse effect is thought by many scientists to directly contribute to the warming of the Earth, thus causing polar ice caps to melt, which in turn affects the temperature of the earth, making it even warmer. Interior officials were scheduled to make their decision on polar bears on Jan. 9, but postponed it for a month, citing the complexity of the situation. The ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica is ⦠Changes in the temperature of the ocean’s layers also impact ocean circulation, the amount of salt in the water, and marine life. If temperatures rise to melt sea ice caps, and arctic tundras thaw, it may release significant amounts of carbon dioxide and methane trapped in the permafrost, or frozen soil. Research experts look to the Earth’s polar regions as early indicators for the Earth’s climate change, and statistics seem to show evidence of growing temperature increases on Earth. The polar vortex is keeping cold air locked up over the North Pole. In fact, the ice cap melted to an extent less than half of what it was at the same time of year in 1979, making it one of the most dramatic and visible signs of climate change. As the Arctic Ocean became more ice-free over more summer days in 2004 and 2005, polar bear breeding and survival declined below the point needed to maintain the population, the team found. That allows the ice to ⦠The Antarctic ice sheet is one of the two polar ice caps of the Earth.It covers about 98% of the Antarctic continent and is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. Methane (CH4) – It is produced by using natural gas, mining coal, raising livestock, and it is produced naturally in swamplands, and rice crops. Over time, large sheets of ice collide, forming thick pressure ridges along the margins (4 th image). Drastic reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere today, can help to stop the increasing temperature trend, and melting of the Arctic polar ice caps, slowing the perpetuation of the rise in the Earth’s temperature. When they melt, sea level isn't directly affected because this ice is already in the ocean. For Earth's ice cap, see, \"Polar ice\" redirects here. As sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface. For most of the year, sea ice is typically covered with snow. The Antarctic ice shelves, by contrast, are the floating extensions of huge, land-based ice sheets and glaciers. A metal time capsule left in the ice at the North Pole in 2018 washed up on the shore of northeastern Ireland this week, floating across more than 3,700 km of water. So in March the polar bear mother and cubs swim from the land in Spitsbergen to the edge of the polar ice cap so that they can hunt. Sea ice begins as thin sheets of smooth nilas in calm water (top) or disks of pancake ice in choppy water (2 nd image). On 19 September 2014, for the first time since 1979, Antarctic sea ice extent exceeded 7.72 million square miles (20 million square kilometers), according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. These studies resulted in “nearly forty years of research experience and achievements in deep polar ice core drillings... and established the fundamental drilling technology for retrieving deep ice cores for climatologic archives.” Polar ice caps have been used to track current climate patterns but also patterns over the past several thousands years from the traces of CO2 and CH4 found trapped in the ice. Therefore, it is our responsibility to identify solutions to the problem and prevent the planetâs degradation. Another threat to the polar climate is overfishing. The total amount of ice is still below average. Walrus feed on the ocean floor in the shallow waters of the continental shelf where the sea ice contains food. Penguins, who live in the Antarctica region, are also losing their environment as the polar ice caps melt. Around 70% of the fresh water on Earth is contained in this ice sheet. Why is Arctic sea ice important? Although it is still difficult to connect specific causes and events to global warming, drastic reduction of greenhouse gases can help to stop the trend from accelerating. At the same time, the Arctic has been losing around 50 cubic kilometers (gigatons) of land ice per year, almost entirely from Greenland's 2.6 million gigaton sheet. They use the ice to travel long distances to new areas. Why is Arctic sea ice important? There are no requirements with respect to size or composition for a body of ice to be termed a polar ice cap, nor any geological requirement for it to be over land, but only that it must be a body of solid phase matter in the polar region. The âgreenhouse effectâ is a term used to describe the effect that greenhouse gases have on the atmosphere, and subsequently the Earth. A portion of sunlight is absorbed by the Earth. The sunlight that is not absorbed, is reflected back to the atmosphere, at a wavelength longer than the initial sunlight. Warming of any floating polar caps are not the biggest concern of flooding, because the ice is already floating, and its melting would not cause ocean levels to rise by itself (Archimedes principle). Antarctica is covered with ice an average of 2,133 meters (7,000 feet) thick. they can melt, and nothing happens. Surrounding the polar caps are many smaller ice sheets inside craters, some of which lie under thick deposits of sand or martian dust. On earth this is at the North and South poles. It makes up 10% of the earthâs surface. The Arctic is a floating ice cap on an ocean penned in by continents. They are not strictly an ice cap (because they are usually larger than the 50,000 square kilometer limit used to define ice caps), but most people refer to these areas as ice caps anyway. In fact, since 2012, the polar ice caps have stayed at their 1979 and beyond averages, according to a new article in Forbes Magazine. The white section is the polar ice cap. [/quote'] melting icebergs (i.e. The Arctic sea ice cap is a large area of frozen seawater floating on top of the Arctic Ocean and its surrounding seas and straits. The sculpture, a realistic-looking polar bear stranded on an iceberg in the Thames, reminds onlookers that there are already victims of global warming: Polar ice caps are high-latitude regions covered in ice. Sea ice, glaciers and ice sheets together form the polar ice. Sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. NASA reports that since the late 1970s, the Arctic has lost an average of 20,800 square miles (53,900 square kilometers) of sea ice per year while the Antarctic has gained an average of 7,300 square miles (18,900 km2) of sea ice per year. Earth's south polar land mass, Antarctica, is covered by the Antarctic ice sheet. The Antarctic ice shelves, by contrast, are the floating extensions of huge, land-based ice sheets and glaciers.

(logto: www.namibian.com for more information). I am the second youngest of four children to my mom. Enough of me lets get blogging about my stay in Sweden\nI officially arrived in this Scandinavian country called Sweden on the 30th May 2007. I am still here.\nFor me, when I hear Sweden it is synonymous with a great system and great splendorous lakes and of course Volvo and SAAB. Let us not forget the great people and the successful integration.\nI was picked up by friends of mine at the Airport and I noticed that there were no law enforcement agents who “harass” , if I can call it that, when we arrive at the airport, probably because I landed at the Goteborg Airport. From there everything has been a breeze until now, where I have seen a lot to take back home. This is specifically how to make our organization the Young Democrats (YD) more progressive in Namibia. ( Read more about the YD in the article below)\nI arrived in Sweden just at the right time to witness the Kings birthday celebrations happening apparently all over Sweden, we just had a get together with the SSU members in Goteborg and I got to know the first taste of Sweden and then of course the lovely people of this country. I think that a lot of you are thinking that I am sucking up but on the contrary, I have experienced and I am very glad, the politeness of Swedes in general. First impressions of course last. I am living in the greatest and lively cities in Sweden but have not seen the night life, my host says that I did not come for that, but as a grateful and humble Namibian that I am, I graciously excepted that fact, but that will not stop me from saving up for a trip to Sweden just to experience a bit of the nightlife, if and when I return.\nGoteborg, a pleasant and a cosmopolitan town , the old mixed with the new, the squares which make for a very laid back and picturesque atmosphere, a true reflection of the way in which Europeans relax.\nThe second day of my stay in Sweden I went to the 1st of May demonstration, where around 6500 people gathered at the Götaplatsen to listen to speeches delivered by the SSU President of the Goteborg District and the charismatic and oh so popular former Foreign Minister Jan Eliason. I enjoyed the demonstration speeches, except the bird, out of 6500 people decided to conveniently shit on my head. Very controversial, because some people might say it is the most disgusting thing and as an African I believe it is a sign of leadership and a blessing from heaven. See it the way you guys want to, I believe it is a sign.\nThe first weekend in Sweden was spend in Stockholm at a confernce center. The conference was about sustainable development, this is where I met an old friend of mine calles Rasmus Lenefors.

Listing renewals for 2022 are available.\nSet beside the scenic mighty Murray River, the river city of Echuca in Victoria, and the river town of Moama in New South Wales combine to provide tourism, industry, and rural support centres. Echuca - Moama are connected across the Murray River by a historic rail/road bridge and a new rail bridge. Before these bridges were erected, the founder of Echuca, Henry Hopwood, and his rival James Maiden, the founder of Moama, both operated river punts across the Murray River. Both men saw the potential and financial rewards in assisting travellers and their livestock to safely cross the river. Henry Hopwood also set up a river punt across the Campaspe River in close alignment to his Murray River punt to provide a unique opportunity to charge travellers with their livestock to cross the Campaspe River then again when crossing the Murray River. Henry Hopwood decided to set up the Bridge Hotel for weary travellers, and stockyards in front of the Hotel to coral stock as a resting point between the two rivers. The town of Echuca grew rapidly as it soon became the main crossing point between the Goulburn, Murray, and Campaspe Rivers. Henry Hopwood's wealth was turned into building facilities in Echuca to encourage other merchants to establish businesses in Echuca. In later years, bullock dray traffic along the Murray River banks was replaced by steam driven paddleboats with barges. A two mile red river gum wharf was built from Barmah Forrest timber to create the Port of Echuca to accommodate the growing paddleboat fleet. Goods were transferred off the paddleboats to the new rail network terminating in the port for shipment to Melbourne. The current road bridge was initially funded by the people of Deniliquin, and built solely as a rail bridge. It did not accommodate horse or bullock drawn wagons or pedestrian traffic. This bridge was never officially opened, but after a period of time was stormed and modified by locals in Echuca and Moama to accommodate wagon and pedestrian traffic. For many years, all vehicle traffic on the bridge would had to stop to give way to rail traffic travelling across the bridge between Echuca and New South Wales towns that included Moama, Mathoura, Caldwell, Burraboi, Moulamein, and Deniliquin. A subsequent rail bridge was built across the Murray River in the late 1980s to facilitate only rail traffic transitting the border, thereby leaving the original bridge just for vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The Echuca and Moama business and community entities are closer today than in the past particularly through this internet-based directory listing service. This Echucaweb.com.au directory serves to promote Echuca-Moama and Regional enterprises to those seeking facilities and services in this area.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://reno1.pizanosdelivers.com/deliveryarea/","date":"2023-06-09T18:26:30Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224656788.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20230609164851-20230609194851-00273.warc.gz","language_score":0.9130929708480835,"token_count":101,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-23","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__99274293","lang":"en","text":"Yes, We Deliver\nDowntown Reno Pizanos is located in the heart of downtown Reno, Nevada, located next to Century Riverside Theater.

The Aberfan disaster killed 144 people.\nAberfan is a small Welsh mining village. The disaster happened because of the waste from the coal mine was stacked up in a pile, like a mountain of mud and rubble, but there was a problem with where they were putting the waste, there was a natural stream underneath the mountain of waste which made it unsafe! The other problem was due to the fact that Aberfan had suffered days of heavy rain, the build up of water resulted in the mountain of waste coming apart and creating a landslide! This landslide went straight down the hill into the village of Aberfan, and the main building in its way was a primary school.\n50 years ago on 21st October, at 9:15 in the morning, the classrooms at Pantglas junior school got buried in thick mud and rubble from the coal mine. The children were buried alive. 116 children aged between 7 and 10 died that morning, along with 4 teachers, and some local residents. There was so much debris/rubbish, it would take a full 7 days to get all the bodies of the victims, most of them were children. Most of the children died from asphyxiation (suffocation), and others had fractured skulls and multiple crush injuries.\nOne of the saddest things about this terrible disaster is, if it had struck a few minutes earlier the children would not have been in the classroom; and if it was a few hours later the school would have broken up for half term! The disaster happened so quickly there was nothing anyone could have done to save the children. During the rescue operation only a few children were saved, and after 11am on that day, there were no survivors pulled out of the school.\nThe parents had to live with the guilt of sending their children to school, and knowing that they died in such a brutal cruel way. Some parents felt huge guilt because their child was complaining about not wanting to go to school but they forced them, and by forcing them they sent their children to their deaths. Some children were saved because they were ill on the day and didn't attend school. When I was in college I did a project on Aberfan and I always remember reading about one of the little boys who died; the day before the disaster he draw a picture, in the picture he drew a clock showing 9:15, he also drew his school and then he drew planes dropping bombs on the hills surrounding the village! He more or less predicted what was going to happen.\nWhen Queen Elizabeth II visited the scene with her husband Prince Phillip, a week after the disaster she almost cried when a three year old little girl gave her a posy, with a message saying, 'From the remaining children of Aberfan'.\nOn Friday (21st October), there will be a one minute silence at 9:15am to remember the victims of the Aberfan disaster. Please pray for them and never let them be forgotten. Most of the victims were innocent babies, may they all be resting in peace. Never forget Aberfan.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://www.alveofinancialtowermakati.com/alveo-financial-tower-rfo","date":"2019-09-21T04:51:20Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514574265.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20190921043014-20190921065014-00380.warc.gz","language_score":0.7742593288421631,"token_count":127,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-39","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-39__0__79291445","lang":"en","text":"RFO Office At Alveo Financial Tower\nIf you are interested in buying a Ready for Occupancy (RFO) Office at Alveo Land Alveo Financial Tower located at Makati City or if you are a unit owner or landlord interested in selling your Office at Alveo Land Alveo Financial Tower please fill the form below so we can promptly get in touch with you.\nShaw Blvd, Mandaluyong City, Philippines\n(+63) 2 531 5670\n+63 917 797 5283\n+63 908 812 3890\n+63 923 162 6308","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://skillseeker90.wordpress.com/2011/04/19/discover-the-27th-ward-in-the-encyclopedia-of-chicago-2/","date":"2018-03-19T12:57:37Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257646914.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20180319120712-20180319140712-00329.warc.gz","language_score":0.8948107361793518,"token_count":910,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2018-13","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-13__0__93333995","lang":"en","text":"The Encyclopedia of Chicago is a landmark historical reference for information on Chicago’s rich past. With its abundant text, photographs, maps, and other archival material, compiled over more than a decade, the Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive treatment of a metropolitan history to date. Despite the size of the book, which runs 1,152 pages, the writing is clear and concise, and the layout is easy to navigate. Produced by the Newberry Library in cooperation with the Chicago Historical Museum, the original plan was to develop a book version and an electronic version simultaneously. Consequently, the book version was published in 2004 by the University of Chicago Press and in 2005, the electronic version was published by the Chicago Historical Society.\nHighlights of the Encyclopedia of Chicago include:\n* Alphabetized entries cover every topic relevant to Chicago’s history.\n* Entries cover each of the 77 community areas.\n* National historic landmarks in metropolitan Chicago\n* A comprehensive biographical dictionary of prominent Chicagoans\n* A directory of leading Chicago businesses from 1820 to 2000\nUnder the category of Special Features is the Timeline that originates in 1630, when the Illinois Indians traveled from Michigan to settle in northern Illinois. It traces Chicago’s first permanent resident, Jean Baptiste Point de Sable, from Michigan City in 1779, and again at the banks of the Chicago River in 1790. The rest is history.\nEncyclopedia of Chicago Online Offers A Unique Interactive Experience\nWork on the electronic version of the Encyclopedia of Chicago began during the dawn of the internet. The web offered this project an expansive, dynamic environment in which to chronical and display this epic metropolitan journal. Interactive features allow visitors to zoom in on maps and photographs. Page through Daniel Burnham’s’ groundbreaking 1908 publication, “The Plan Of Chicago” at the touch of a mouse. The Year Pages carry a collage of historical imagery pertinent to the periods. By passing the cursor over a highlighted image and clicking, a dialogue box pops up with more interesting details. Located in the upper left-handed corner of the homepage is the main navigation bar and a search box. The navigation bar is broken down into five sections: Entries, Historical Sources, Maps, Special Features, and User’s Guide. The first three sections open to indexes; either enter a search query or browse. “Historical Sources” features a wide range of dated material: many photographs of the day; the image of a tattered catalogue cover from 1874 for A. Plamondon & Company, advertisements, restaurant menus, publications, and correspondence all focused on life in Chicago. Tare both diverse and packed with information, offering a unique graphic reference to the growth of the city. A map of ancient Indian earthworks, prepared by staff, is a testimony to Chicago’s prehistoric past.\nDig Deeper into the History of Chicago’s 27th Ward on the Web\nAn initial search of “27th Ward” garnered no results, but it did open up a new avenue of inquiry. Narrowing the search down to the term “Ward” rendered 125 results.The first result is an authored entry entitled “Ward System”, written by staff writer Douglas Knox. Accompanying the article is a map from 1904, which details the population density of the fledgling metropolis by wards. By positioning the map upright, using the tool bar, the 27th ward occupies a large area in the left-hand side of the map. Basically, a ward is defined as a legislative district assigned for the purpose of government representation and allocating city services. While ward boundaries change after every census, neighborhoods and community areas remain relatively stable. There are 77 designated community areas in the metropolitan Chicago. The 27th ward cuts into several, including: East Garfield Park, Humboldt Park, Near West Side, Near North Side, and West Town. The Encyclopedia devotes a page to each community area.\nThe Encyclopedia of Chicago, either in book form or online, should be the first stop for anyone interested in exploring the growth and development of this great city.

I knew I wanted to move back over seas and I had been considering teaching in Japan for some time. I now live in the a small town in Southern Kyushu, Japan. I teach at a few high schools and spend the rest of my time enjoying everything the island has to offer.\nAll good holidays come to an end. I’m back in North Western Province in Zambia now and it’s not quite the tropical paradise Zanzibar is.\nWe spent the last few days of the trip in Stonetown. None of us wanted to leave but as we were all out of money we had to. I’m sure I’ll be back in Zanzibar some day though.\nI am glad to get a start on 2008. This is another year of big change. I’ll be done with the Peace Corps in four months and I am in the process of figuring out what is next. I’ve got a few ideas brewing but if you’ve got any ideas, shoot ’em my way. Especially of they involve more globe trotting.\nSo we decided to go up to the town of Nungwi to celebrate the New Year. We couldn’t find accommodation up there so we decided to organize a bus from Stone Town up.\nWe ended up having a really good time at a place called Kendwa Rocks. There were a lot of people from all over the world, good music, lots of drinks and some fireworks after the stroke of mid-night.\nWe stayed in Nungwi until about 5 am and then boarded the bus to head back to Stone Town. I got to watch the sun rise as we drove down the coast. It was a lot of fun and a great way to ring in the New Year.\nI have now spent my last 2 new years celebrations in wonderfully tropical paradises. I wonder where I’ll be next year.\nI just got back to Stone Town after spending a few days over on the east coast of the island in a little village known as Bweju. The sand was as white as you can imagine. The water bluer than I have ever seen and the reefs we went snorkeling on were spectacular. We had some of the best food I have ever eaten in my life. It was hard to leave such a wonderful place but we are headed up to the Nungwi on the north coast for New Years. Should be fun.\nLittle Zimster had his first Christmas this year. Wish I had been there for it but I was stuck in a tropical paradise. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of good ones with him soon enough.\nSo I arrived in Zanzibar a bit over a day ago and it’s great. It’s really tropical, has lots of white sand, teal water, friendly people and really good food. I just spent Christmas day siting on a beach enjoying a local beer and watching the tide come in.\nTonight we are headed to the fish market for what I can only describe as a veritable seafood buffet. There are tons of stands selling tuna, mackerel, lobster, prawns and tons of other fresh caught food. You pick what you want and they cook it right in front of you.\nHope everyone had a great Christmas.\nSo we decided to take the Tazara train from Zambia to Tanzania. It starts in Kapiri Mposhi and ends in Dar es Salaam. It took about 48 hours to get there. We had a good time and did a pretty good job of keeping ourselves occupied. It’s nothing like the comforts of the Eurail but it got us from point to point and we got to see a good bit of the Zambian and Tanzanian country side.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://johnnyhmnpq.collectblogs.com/54247570/5-tips-about-brisbane-you-can-use-today","date":"2022-05-22T11:18:42Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662545326.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20220522094818-20220522124818-00132.warc.gz","language_score":0.9686936140060425,"token_count":905,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2022-21","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-21__0__230121716","lang":"en","text":"The tour also features a stopover within the renowned Tamborine Mountain Distillery, where by you'll be invited to sample a array of their planet renowned liquors.

Yes...finally i reached the top of skandagiri!!!\nI had seen enough mails and googled enough about this hill and heard a lot about this from my bro..And i had a burning desire to capture this peak one night..\nAnd had planned for this many a times but it got cancelled all the times!!!\nBut finally it was deepak (my colleague) who called me one afternoon and fixed a team outing on 12th april midnight and my immediate answer was YES!!!\nI'm coming...to-hell with others...if nobody comes we both shall reach the top.\nThis was actually not the right time to visit skandagiri(Kalavara betta, as it is called after the village located at the foothills of skandagiri) and the best time is during winter . The sunrise is awesome and the clouds are below you if it is winter (Oct-Feb). And now it was just a visit..just an attempt to know how to reach the top...\nAll of us (Me ,Deepak, Arun Shankar, Narayan,Yathish Deepak's friend and Narayan's friend ) planned to meet at Ashram circle McDonald's at 10PM and have a burger or two and leave for Skandagiri. It is about 75Km from mainland Bangalore towards Devanahalli Airport. Go towards the famous Nandi Hills and take a right. There u find muddenahalli and from muddenahalli to kalavara halli and there u find an ashram and that is the foothill of Kalavara betta...\nAnd coming to our story, We left Ashram at 10:45 pm and started our journey. Reached Airport after a 10 minute ride @ 60kmph u'll find a small tea stall where u can ask the way to kalavara betta (as we did) and trust me he'll show u the better way of reaching that place...And then take a left after devanahalli. It is a four lane expressway so be careful....u wont find the tiny 40 ft road towards your left and might end up reaching Hyderabad!!!\nThen after a few minutes' ride we reached the nandi hills where ,at 12:15am, we could see shops and many bikes and bikers!! So it is a hit spot for night trek!!That was a good decision by us ,i thought..\nThen came the real hurdle...thereafter it's all sunshaan galli and bhoukte kutte and few huts!!! But fortunately we could find a drunk security officer whom we asked and he directed us inspite of his high spirits!!!\nBut at 12:30 am we ended up nowhere..a dead end and 2 dogs behind us and a person sleeping in a hut..We had no other option than to wake him up and he made us realise that we had actually come 7Km ahead....And then we took a U-turn to ride back to muddenahalli!!!\nAnd as per his instructions we had to take a right turn at a circle..So we looked for a circle in muddenahalli and hoila!!! We reached the place which we had never thought of visiting..Actually sir.M.Visweshwaraiah's Samadhi is in that small village of muddenahalli And once u reach that place u cannot even say u r in a small village..\nThe garden so well maintained and there lies the best of brains in india..The legend behind KRS, Dandeli paper mills and Bhakra and nangal project..\nThere lies the man who made India proud by his engineering expertise....We clicked some snaps there and left for finding the actual destiny...And after a minute's ride there came another circle..This time a lil bigger corcle!! and i was really jumping with joy as i saw the handwritten board which read \"KALAVARA BETTA\" in kannada and the very next moment our speedometers read 80!!!\nAnother 5 minute ride we reached a place where there was nothing..A small field and smaller road (kaaludaari as said in Kannada)..We were so pissed of that we took our bikes into the field and then reached a small village (i donno the name) and parked our bikes there. An elderly person greeted us and it took a minute for us to discover that the hill right in front of us was KALAVARA BETTA... And the time was 1:15...\nSo we started it..finally!!!\nAnd it was in the morning we realised that the route taken by us was the toughest one..The hill was full of steep rocks and we had to climb it. It took 2 hours to reach the top and to find about a 100 people already having omletts and singing aloud around a campfire!!! Then we realised there is an easier way which takes less than 45 minutes to climb and we were like WTF!!! But later consoled ourselves saying we took the toughest way and we have reached the top!! So we are far better than the remaining 100....It was time to have omlet and a bottle of water costs there 30 bucks!!! Cost for man labour to carry everything till top...And then we slept for an hour..The temperature is about 3 degrees and no blanket can save u...The only saviour is Lord Ganesha!!! There is a temple and the garbhagudi is the best place to sleep!! And my team had to actually come and kick me to wake me up!! Then it was time to watch the sunrise which never happened!!! I mean to say in the usual expected way!! Later on we started climbing down and this time using the normal and easier way.. It took us 45 minutes to reach the bottom and another hour and a half to reach inox.. Where after all the exhaustion and sleeplessness, Vin Diesel was waiting with his vrooming car with four of my friends!!! and one final note\nFast and the furious is bull shit....So i thought i could have slept at home and would have enjoyed a sound sleep after so much of exhaustion!!!\nAnd Skandagiri is a moderate trek and even gals can try it!! i'm telling this coz i could see about a dozen chicks there on the top!!!\nso guys and gals Skandagiri is waiting for u!!!\nWiki is always helpful so go through this before u try her!!!\nAltitude: about 1350m above sea level\nDistance: 70 km from Bangalore\nNearest Town/Medical Help: Chikkaballapura, 5 km\nNearest Airport/ Railway station: Devanahalli(Bangalore International Airport)\nCo-ordinates: 13°25′3″N 77°40′58″E\nThursday, April 16, 2009\nSee the pics here\nPosted by harsha bhat at 4:43 AM","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://health.thefuntimesguide.com/tag/bug-bites/page/2/","date":"2022-01-20T14:50:19Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301863.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20220120130236-20220120160236-00117.warc.gz","language_score":0.9514715075492859,"token_count":136,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2022-05","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-05__0__236150213","lang":"en","text":"I’ve been living with Lyme Disease in Tennessee for years now.

The people are spending noticeable part of their lives on the social networking sites such as, Facebook, Twitter, Google plus, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tumblr,Yammer, Quora, Reddit, MySpace, and several others. As per the report of the Pew Research Center (US), the social networking sites have experienced massive growth in the last decade. Their report clearly stated that in the year 2005 only 7% adults used to access social media sites in the US, but by the year 2015, these numbers have grown to 65%, which is nearly tenfold in just a decade. Now, globally 28% of the total online time-spent is done on social networking sites.\nThere was a time when social networking used to be a trend, now it has become the necessity. The Americans as an average spend 37 minutes of their lives every day on the social networking sites. And, this is not limited to the States; people from other parts of the world are doing more or less the same. That is the reason, one the biggest social networking site Facebook now has 1.2 billion active users globally; which is definitely an enormous achievement for a company started by a student for university-level networking. Now, the people of various age groups from almost every corner of the world share their photos, videos, their thoughts, ideas and feedbacks online with others via Facebook. And, this is only the case of one social networking site; there are other social media sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, Intagram, Pinterest, etc. which are getting remarkable time-spent and traffic from all over the world.\nAs per the recent Pew Research study (mentioned above), approximately 72% of the overall Internet users are also the social network users. The huge traffic, high time-spent, deep interest of people in social media and its exponential growth is responsible for the birth of Social Media Marketing concept. In the present era, it is one of the most popular and preferable marketing platforms for the advertisers and marketers.\nSocial Media Marketing (SMM):-\nTaking advantage of the social media fever across the globe, companies have started investing aggressively in Social Media Marketing Campaigns.

It has been observed by the researchers that 46% of users explore social media platforms before buying; 37% of Twitter users buy the products of the companies they follow on social networks. This has also been noticed that B-to-B marketers spend 80% in social media for brand exposure; 69% to increase their web traffic and 65% to gain market insights. The social media is also coming-up as a strong research medium for the companies as they take direct feedback from the customers to evaluate their services and products.\nROI on SMM Campaigns:-\nThe SMM has become a powerful catalyst to drive the revenues for businesses. According to a recent study done by Forrester Research, Instagram is one of the most interactive platforms for brands to connect with their customers.

These receptacles are used for cargo shipping hence often called cargo shipping containers. The 20 foot container is obviously 20 feet long, its height is 8 feet and width is about 8 feet 6 inches. The maximum weight it can hold is around 24,000 kg. The dimension of the container reflects that it can hold a huge number of goods and items, which may be furniture, clothes, house-hold items, electronic goods or personal belongings. Worldwide these shipping containers are used to carry commodities from one place to the other via different modes of transportation be it is a sea, train or land.\nThe people who are moving overseas on contract basis, transferred abroad or relocating to some country for one reason or the other usually use shipping container to move their stuff. But, loading a 20 foot receptacle could be difficult at times. Due to its huge size people are not able to judge that how much stuff it can hold and how to load the commodities smartly in the container using it to its maximum limit. The shipping receptacles should be completely dry before loading else it may harm the goods or items kept inside. Steps to load 20 foot container:\nStep 1 : Packing of Goods- The packing of your stuff need to be carefully handled for 20 foot containers. The sturdier boxes; trunks; bubble wrap; newspapers; old clothes, rags or towels etc. could be used to pack different types of items in order to avoid any kind of damage to it. If every item is not wrapped properly it might be harmed badly or destroyed completely in the transfer process.\nStep 2 : Planning & Organizing the load- Once the goods are packed to the satisfaction, it becomes crucial to organize them as per their importance and usage. Without planning if the boxes are kept in the container than after receiving it, the entire container need to be unloaded immediately just to get any particular item from it. So, planning and organizing of all your packed commodities are as essential as its proper packing.\nStep 3 : Drying & Airing the Container- The shipping container is generally hotter inside. Its high temperature could cause serious damage to the goods kept inside. So, it is advisable to keep the container open for some time and also keep it away from the moisture before loading.\nStep 4 : Final Loading : Once the container is dry and thoroughly aired, you can begin loading your belongings in it. First, load the boxes which are comparatively bigger in sizes and of least importance in terms of usage after reaching your desired destination. The smaller boxes holding the items of immediate usage should be loaded at the last so they can be retrieved immediately after reaching the new place.\nThe key to load a 20 foot container smartly is to pack, organize and put the goods inside it in such a way that if required the items of immediate usage could be easily obtained. The main point to remember is that the container in use should be devoid of moisture and aired nicely before loading.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://www.kusumresort.com/","date":"2022-07-03T01:36:36Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656104209449.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20220703013155-20220703043155-00689.warc.gz","language_score":0.9279500246047974,"token_count":1212,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2022-27","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-27__0__11782228","lang":"en","text":"Welcome To Kusum Resort\nBegin your amazing adventure\nKusum resort is an oasis of peace and tranquillity spread over 3.5 acres of lush greenery.

It is also 2 km away from Nagoor town, where slaughtering of cows is a common practice.\nIt causes great pain to helplessly witness the native breed cows being brought in hoards to slaughter houses, without realizing their value. We felt its our moral responsibility to protect our own mother cow.\nIn our Goshala, the aim is to protect native cows, specifically Umbalachery cows belonging to Nagapattinam region, that are becoming almost extinct at a fast pace. Umbalachery cows are one among the six native breed cows of Tamil Nadu. Out of these six, Theni Malai Maadu (Theni region hill cows) are already extinct due to cross breeding with Jersy & HF cows.\nIn general, native breed cows of Tamil Nadu are low milk yielding ones, but their produce is highly healthy. Since most of the cow farms are mainly focused on the income from selling milk, they host cross-breed cows, and as a result, the low yielding native cows are mostly abandoned or not properly taken care of or sent to slaughter houses. Even, most of the Goshalas, adopt cross breed cows for self sustenance. As a result, our native breeds, particularly Tamil Nadu breeds, are getting neglected.\nOur Goshala is a humble attempt to do our bit in safeguarding and protecting Tamil Nadu native breeds. To begin with, we have started with the Umbalachery cows. Of the remaining five Tamil Nadu native breeds, Umbalachery cows are the least milk yielding, and hence are mostly abandoned and prone to be sent to slaughter houses. Consequently, there are only 5,000 cows of this breed left among 198 million cows present in India.\nFurther to ensure that the Umbalachery native breeds remain in the region they belong to, which is most suited for their survival, we have launched our first Goshala in Nagapattinam.\nWe request everyone to participate in this initiative by contributing as much as they can for this dharmic activity.

According to writers of \"Bhavishya Puran; Ke Agravansh\" \"Vanishanukirtnam\"\nand \"Uru Charitam\" Maharaja Agrasen ruled some 5000 years back over Agroha\naround the time of Mahabharat.\nAgroha was a Republican State consisting of 18 state units. The residents of\nthis states were known as Yodhya and Agraya .Some of the writings on the coins\nthat have been excavated from the site of ancient Agroha read as 'Yodhyanam Bahu\nDhanya Kanam','Yodhya Ganasya Jaya', 'Yodhyanam Jaimantra Shalinam'.\nThe Agroha republic was renowned for its bravery and prosperity. However over\nthe time it could not stand the foreign invasions of Hunas, Greeks and Yavanas,\nwho invaded the north India disintegrating various kingdoms in Punjab. The\ndisintegrated Agroha led to the migration of the residents of Agroha to other\nparts of the country viz Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Malwa, however\nthey derieved a common name Aggarwals ie. AGROHA-WALE.\nHISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Tolmy , a greek\nwriter in his book titled \"Example of Geography\"\nhas mentioned about a city called \"Agara\". This\nhas been equated to \"Agrohe\" by the geologist\nRannal. In the map supplemented in the book of\nTolmy \"Agara\" has been shown at the same place\nas the present \" AGROHA\"\nMoshio Prajluski has in his writings identified\nAgroha as \" Agrodak\" or \" Agrod\" This statement\nhas been further testified by the writings on\ncoins found from Agroha wherein 'Agrod' or 'Agacha'\nstate has been written in the Brahm Lipi (script\nDr. Satyaketu Vidyalankar has written that\nAgroha existed some 100 Years before the kushan\nAccording to the Punjab Govt. Gazzette \" Agroha\"\nwas a very big ancient city. The primary efforts\nto discover its historical past were made in the\nyear 1888-89, when the Indian Govt. started\nexcavations at the ancient agroha site under\narchaeologist C.T. Rogers. However the intial\nexcavations were carried out only for 15 Days.\nThe excavation was restarted in the year\n1938-39, though even this could not be carried\non for long due to the IInd world war but it\nprovided major historical input towards Agroha's\nIn 1978-79 the Archaelogical Department of\nHaryana Govt. began excavation work under the\nguidance and supervision of Mr. J.S.Khatri and\nIt is quite apparent from the excavations that\nbelow the mounds existed a big, well planned\nSome of the materials collected from the\nexcavated site :\nLarge number of coins have been found at the\nexcavated site.

The remains of ancient AGROHA city are some 1-1.5 km away from\nthe present AGROHA village. The excavation of the ancient AGROHA city started in\nthe year 1888-89, under C.T.Rogers. It was at that time that people came to know\nabout this great kingdom.\nThe redevelopment process at Agroha after the excavation was slow. Sh.\nBholaram Dalmia of Bhiwani Distt. and Sh. Sanwalram built a Gau Shala in 1914 at\nAgroha. Then in 1939 Sh. Ramji Das Bojoria from Calcutta had Shiv Mandir and a\nrest house built. All these activities were more at individualistic level.\nIt was only in 1976 that a need for a concerted group effort was felt at\nthe convention of All India Aggarwal Representatives. This realisation led to\nthe establishment of AGROHA VIKAS TRUST in 1976, under Sh.Shri Krishna Modi and\nSh Rameshwar Das Gupta.Their efforts were supplemented by Late Master Laxmi\nNarain Gupta who donated 27 acres of land to Agroha Vikas Trust.The development\nwork at Agroha was carried on under the able supervision of Late Sh Tilak Raj\nSince then all the development process at AGROHA is planned and\nimplemented by AGROHA VIKAS TRUST.The developments at Agroha received a major\nboost from 1985 when Sh.

When the party’s over, only the savviest homebuyers will be left with the most valued property that also depreciates at a far slower rate of depreciation, according to building dispute lawyers in Sydney. Even if it’s sound advice, most individuals don’t understand what it implies.\nIs It Important Where You Are?\nIn suburban dwellings, the boundaries of a property are precisely defined. Most people purchase a home or apartment because they enjoy it, but you’re also getting a piece of land when you buy a house or apartment with the help of strata title lawyers in Sydney.\nIf you purchase an apartment in a city, you’re still investing in a particular area, even if you live elsewhere. Like the neighbourhood of a home, a city block might be a “good” or “poor” investment. Said supply and demand are at play.\nAffluent Prospective Homeowners\nConsider that millennials acquired the most houses in 2021, and their interests and preferences impact what makes a region appealing. As per the building dispute, lawyers in Sydney homes in an “excellent” neighbourhood have convenient access to transportation and amenities, including top-notch educational institutions and active civic participation.\nA “good” or “poor” site won’t remain that way forever, which is a significant consideration. Many areas may go from undesirable to “up and coming” in as little as a few years in big cities, towns, and even suburbs. Why is location so crucial if it doesn’t matter where you live? According to several strata title lawyers in Sydney, these are five things to check for when purchasing a property. There’s a reasonable probability that you’ll be making a good investment if you obtain all five.\n1. A Place Where You Feel Comfortable\nFewer or fewer crimes are desirable as a place to call home. People who live in a safe area are more likely to go on walks, spend time in the fresh air, and get to know their neighbours.\n2. High-Quality Educational Institutions\nTruthfully, young families will continue to purchase their first and second houses in the future. When looking for a new home, they will focus on location and school districts. No matter how many kids you don’t have or how many you never intend to have, being close to a strong school district is vital.\n3. Easy Access To Well-Known Attractions, Businesses, And Dining Establishments\nThe most significant business areas are sought after by everyone. The more desirable a location is, the higher the asking price for a property since it is closer to the action of a specific town or the most delicate portions of a metropolis.\n4. Access To The Water And Views\nIt doesn’t matter where you live in the world; someone will always pay for a view or access to water. Having a house on a canal or a hill with sweeping views is one of the best building places. Also, for better understanding, take help from strata by laws in Sydney.\n5. Availability Of Public Transportation and Motorways Is Essential\nIt’s easy to reach where you need to go in a short period if you’re near public transportation. Easy access to the highway is a plus in places where commuting by automobile is a given. An area will never benefit from a 20-minute journey to the motorway. The farther you reside from public transportation in a large city, the less desirable your house will be.\nWhen you mention that you’re seeking to buy a home in the neighbourhood, you’ll discover that individuals are eager to offer their information and ideas. In your search for a new house, ensure the area has the most objective quality and appealing to you, such as attractive facilities and high-quality schools.\nIf you are confused, you may take help from strata specialist lawyers. Setting up viewings with a few local real estate agents might be beneficial.\nDisclaimer: This is commentary published by Pobi Lawyers for general information purposes only and should not be relied upon as specific legal advice.

He was the Italian José Eduardo Crotta, who had been born on June 1, 1905, in the region of Lombardy, in a village called \"La Crotta\",, in the province of Pavia.\nHis story is the same story of thousands of Italian immigrants who arrived in Argentina at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, many of whom wrote the history of Argentine wine.\nIt was in the 30’s, and as part of a project he designed with his wife, the Austrian Wilhelmina Ritz -who in Argentina was called Guillermina, -, when José Eduardo decided to set up his own winery in the capital of Argentine wine: the province of Mendoza.\nTheir grandchildren Claudia, Carlos y Carolina continue producing wines of the highest quality, upholding the tradition and prestige which has been achieved during long years of effort and dedication.\nToday the winery remains renowned for its fortified wines such as Moscato, Oporto, Marsala, and its Mistelas. but also for its still wines, both in their varietal and bi-varietal lines. Its Late Harvest wine is a tribute to the golden autumn afternoons of Mendoza.\n\"Today we can assert that we who make the wines of Bodegas y Viñedos Crotta, Crotta hold in our spirit a great pride for being part of the history of our National Drink\".\nCarlos Eduardo Crotta\nPresident / Bodegas y Viñedos Crotta\nIn Finca Ramblón, one of our estates in the locality of San Martín, a procession around the vineyards has for a long time been celebrated at the beginning of the harvest season.\nVine workers pray to the Carrodilla Virgin, Patron Saint of the vineyards and wine, and offer her the first grape bunches of every harvest.\nAt the beginning of the 20th century, the Bajda family, a generation of coopers coming from Slovenia, settled in Mendoza and became the most important manufacturers of wooden vats, casks and barrels.\nThis oak barrel, the size of one the coopers, took its name from Dionizij -Dionysius in Slovenian. It was specially made for Bodegas Crotta, and it still remains as a precious piece of wine museography.\nAlthough pizza and Moscato are traditionally Italian, in Italy they are not paired. In Argentina, however, this was made possible at the beginning of the 20th century by a visionary immigrant: Don José Eduardo Crotta.\nIn the 30’s, our winery’s founder thought about selling his Moscato by the glass to his main customers: the pizza shops of Buenos Aires. In this way, those who liked eating pizza after going to the cinemas or to the theatres on Corrientes Avenue, or even after going to the football fields, accompanied their traditional pizza portion with a glass of Moscato wine.\nThe Moscato, pizza and fainá pairing became then very popular. Today, just as it has happened with its bar culture, the City of Buenos Aires has also become worldwide known for its tours to the most remarkable pizza shops, where Crotta wines have taken on center stage.PHOTO GALLERY\nWhen arriving at the Province of Mendoza from the East, the winery is easily identifiable from the road due to its 33-meter tower which hosts wine pools with a storage capacity of 450,000 liters.\nThis state-of-the-art engineering work, designed by Carlos Leopoldo Crotta, of the second family generation, was done in the 60’s.\nWe have a storage capacity of 18 million liters. Both grape-growing ad wine-making are always carried out under strict quality controls for the supply of the food industry. Over 100,000 quintals of grapes are processed in our winery every year.\nThe original 1933 structure of the winery has two naves, one of them meant for elaboration and storage and the other one for the bottling processes.\nThere is also a tasting room where visitors can enjoy our wines. Bodegas Crotta wines are exported to the five continents.\nOne of our vineyards is located in the district of Ramblón, in San Martín. It comprises 210 hectares planted with over 80-year-old vine stocks, among which we can find the sweet pink muscatel that is used to make our emblematic Moscato wine.\nThe other 100-hectare vineyards are also found east of Mendoza, in the locality of Chapanay, on the banks of the Mendoza River.

Popular with local residents, children, dog walkers and those looking to socialise or keep fit, it is a hub for many activities.\nSince September 2019, Staines Park has been protected by Fields in Trust (FiT). FiT works in partnership with landowners (in this case, Spelthorne Borough Council) to protect land through a Deed of Dedication, a binding legal commitment with the landowner which secures spaces in perpetuity for current and future generations to enjoy. This means there can be no development on Staines Park without the approval of FiT and there are a number of developments which are not permitted. Staines Park Residents Association was formed from a campaign group that fought to achieve FiT protection. More details on how our park is protected and the work of FiT can be found here.\nOur park has a number of different areas which are free to use and enjoy. These include a large children’s playground, fitness trail (installed via a kind donation from the London Marathon Charitable Trust), tennis and basketball courts, wild wood, stream and a large expanse of open space for dog walking, exercise and games.\nStaines Bowling Club is situated right in the middle of our park in a wonderful setting surrounded by well maintained shrubs and trees.

Booking made in the Junior hostel will be checked in only in the JUNIOR :) If you want to stay in one of the other boring hostels you can always step by to party in the GREG&TOM PARTY HOSTEL style with us!!! :P\nFrom the main train station:\nOur hostel is only 600 meters away from the train station. However, due to insufficient signage, getting out of the train station could be quite a challenge. Follow instructions below to avoid confusion and save time.\n- Leave the train safely and gracefully!\n- You are at the platform. There are 3 staircases leading to 3 different arrival halls under the platform. Which one to take to save time? Take the one at the very beginning of the platform. What does 'the very beginning of the platform' mean? It means that this staircase is closer to main building of the station and city center and majority of natives will go this direction . Follow the crowd!\n- Walk down the stairs, turn right and get to the very end of underground arrival hall.\n- Exit underground arrival hall and turn left to the stairs.\n- Walk up the stairs and head to the main building of the station.\n- Leave the main building. You are facing spacious plaza with a modern building of the Galeria Krakowska shopping mall on your right.\n- Leave the mall behind you and go straight to the underground tunnel with some small local stalls. Take the left stairs in the middle of the tunnel which will take you to Westerplatte Street direction.\n- Once you're on Westerplatte Sreet simply walk straight for about four minutes and turn left to Zyblikiewicza Street 9, right behind the PTTK Wyspianski Hotel. If you keep walking straight, you will see us at the corner.\n- Welcome to Greg&Tom Party Hostel!\nFrom the main bus station:\nThe main bus station and the main train station are situated next to each other!\n- Leave the Bus terminal. You have to go through the train station in order to get to the city centre and the hostel.\n- Find the entrance to train station underground arrival hall and walk down the stairs.\n- Walk straight to the very end of the underground arrival hall.\n- Exit underground arrival hall and take the rout from point five in the train station section above.\nFrom the Balice airport:\nThe easiest way to get to the hostel is to take a train from the airport train terminal to the main train station. From the airport terminal building, take a free shuttle bus, which is synchronized with the trains, or walk 200 meters to the airport train terminal.\nThe trains operate from approx 04.24 in the morning to 00.15 the next day. The ticket price is only 6 PLN (approx €2), you may buy it from the train operator. Please remember to get some Polish change before buying the ticket because those train operators are always short of change and will refuse taking 100 PLN banknotes! The ride is approx 20 minutes long.\nWhen you get to the main train station, please follow the directions above.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://dreamanalysis.info/gcstatistic-66/","date":"2019-11-15T05:26:46Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668585.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20191115042541-20191115070541-00468.warc.gz","language_score":0.825843870639801,"token_count":430,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-47","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-47__0__134186313","lang":"en","text":"|Date Added:||9 May 2010|\n|File Size:||15.19 Mb|\n|Operating Systems:||Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/2003/7/8/10 MacOS 10/X|\n|Price:||Free* [*Free Regsitration Required]|\nGCStatistic is an easy to use geocaching statistic tool.\nProfile stats Collected attributes.

Below is a preview of our new homepage.\nQuestions? Please contact us.\nWe took off from the airport in our 6 seater plane and got a great view of Wewak. It is the capital of the province on the north coast of Papua New Guinea and has a hospital, schools and a port for the region. There was a local fishing fleet as well as large fish factories from China out in the ocean.\nOur flight took about an hour and gave us good views of the land that we would be traveling by boat for the next eight days. The Sepik River with all its twists and turns and oxbow lakes was a dominant part of the landscape. It was the end of the dry season but there was enough rain for the land to stay green. The river was at a low level which made travel easier going upstream. .\nIt was a long flight to Japan to meet Phil, my husband and traveling companion, before going on to Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea. Another long wait before a smaller plane took us to Wewak, the provincial town on the ocean. It had been 10 years since my last trip to PNG to buy artifacts and I was anticipating a productive and exciting time on the Sepik River.\nWe met Lesley, our friend and guide, in Wewak and after dinner and catching up on PNG friends we actually had a bed to sleep in. The next morning we were out early at the airport and after weighing in, both our luggage and ourselves, we met our missionary pilot who flew a six seater small plane that could land on small grass runways. He was pleasant and competent like all missionary pilots that we have encountered.\nThe West Berkeley Design Loop is a group of independent merchants in the southwest quadrant of Berkeley who focus on home improvement design. Friday night from 5 to 7pm the Design Loop is doing a group event focusing on local artists in the area. Twelve different stores will have local artists working in their medium. Vanessa Mellet, whose striking jewelry has long been an essential part of Ethnic Arts will be in the store with her new collection. She will be working on setting rings, finishing earrings and doing the intricate wire wrap of her chains. It is a great time to see her work and talk to her.\nThe Laos trip began after we left Bangkok with all of the traffic and noise to find the tropical quiet of Luang Prabang. It was first light and the monks were processing down the main street in front of our hotel receiving alms. This is the only food they eat so they are dependent on the sticky rice and other food offered by the kneeling people. Buddhism is an important part of life here with golden orange clad monks in the streets and wats (Buddhist temples) throughout the city.\nBoys are expected to spend time in the monasteries, generally during their adolescence and often for several years. Formative years spent in meditation may explain the mellow character of Laotians. Our guide, upon witnessing a tourist’s rant over not having a taxi on time said, “Oh, she is too hot inside. Her balance is all wrong.” He had just spent a week in the monastery meditating after his grandmother’s death.\nThere is one old intricate silk Suzani that is striking in its harmonious use of color. The floral design fills the space with orange, rust, blue and yellow chain stitch embroidery on a background of black silk. It comes from Uzbekistan, the center of the Turkmen textile tradition. Embroidered Suzanis like this piece and others in the store were an important part of a bride’s dowry. They were then used as decoration in the home.\nWhen Sarah Durling, the antique button jewelry artist, comes back from Northern England we celebrate her return with a trunk show of her new collection of bracelets, earrings, and pendants. This Friday afternoon from 4 to 8 at night we will oh and ah over her new pieces, drink some wine and nibble a bit. Come meet Sarah and hear button stories of discovering buttons and playing with combinations.\nThe buttons in this bracelet and earrings are porcelain calico from 1880-1920. England and France fought over the copyright of the technique and then America slipped in and produced them for a short time. These buttons are collectable because there was such a limited production.\nWe have been looking at the extensive collection of textiles at Ethnic Arts and decided to focus on one textile a week and write about its’ beauty and use. Since we changed out our big wall with African textiles we have been seeing African textiles with new eyes. Our first choice for Textile Pick of the moment is a beautiful Yoruba Asoke cloth. It is in natural colors of grey with a narrow band of rich brown. The striking thing about this cloth is the three dimensional quality with an ivory inlay float running from the holes woven into the fabric. The inlay float threads, holes and vertical striping are distinctive features of Yoruba weaving. These cloths are woven by the men in narrow strips and then sewn together to create a cloth of the desired size. Both men and women wear these for ritual occasions.\nOur geranium and lavender filled blue flower boxes reflect the color and vibrancy inside the store. Most days there is a David Marsh round table and a couple chairs with the flower boxes to give people a comfortable place to sit outside. Come and sit outside on our warm summer days before wandering through the store.\nWe come in at first light to wait for the trucker bringing the newest shipment of David Marsh furniture. After three months of talking with David, sending special orders, and thinking of what is missing in the store we eagerly anticipate this shipment. David Marsh arrival date has elements of those long ago pleasurable waits for holidays.\nThese David holidays come randomly around four times a year and are always dependent on the vagaries of the trucking companies.\nAt last we start to unwrap the pieces from the shipping blankets and are rewarded with new and creative work from David and his craftspeople. His small reclaimed metal base tables are a delight and those always are a surprise to us since he works with what he finds in his wanderings. Check these out on the web site which has just become more functional.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://orovalley.claz.org/classifieds?q=land+for+sale","date":"2018-11-12T17:46:52Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741016.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20181112172845-20181112194845-00522.warc.gz","language_score":0.8860962390899658,"token_count":1550,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2018-47","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-47__0__47886201","lang":"en","text":"Oro Valley Classifieds\nLand For Sale\nPrime piece of land located on the South Side with all utilities and cleared terrain.

As Earth's magnetic field redirects the particles toward the North Pole, the dramatic process transforms into a cinematic atmospheric phenomenon that dazzles and fascinates scientists and skywatchers alike.On Earth, the northern lights' counterpart in the Southern Hemisphere is the southern lights — they are physically the same and differ only in their location. As such, scientists expect them to occur simultaneously during a solar storm, but sometimes the onset of one lags behind the other.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://sahtu.press/articles/southeast-asian-studies-conference-july-2017","date":"2019-08-22T18:57:37Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027317339.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20190822172901-20190822194901-00365.warc.gz","language_score":0.942556619644165,"token_count":389,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-35","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-35__0__88109738","lang":"en","text":"Southeast Asian Studies Conference: July, 2017\nThe 2017 Southeast Asian American Studies conference will be held July 27-29, 2017, at the University of Massachusetts Lowell in Lowell, MA.

Lowell, Massachusetts, is home to the second largest Cambodian American population in the United States, as well as Vietnamese, Lao, Burmese, and Bhutanese Americans. Nearby Dorchester, MA, and Providence, RI, are home to significant Vietnamese and Lao American populations, respectively.\nThis conference also seeks to build bridges across disciplines (humanities, social sciences, and sciences), and across/among scholars, artists, policymakers, and community members. What are the range of approaches to Southeast Asian American Studies? How might we foster communication and collaboration between fields and disciplines? What interdisciplinary approaches have been fruitful? What are some challenges to working across disciplinary boundaries? Given the opportunities and challenges of community-engaged research, what role can scholarship play in enabling social change for diverse SEAA communities? How can engagement with SEAA communities enrich and inform scholarship, and vice versa? We seek papers and panels from the humanities, social sciences, and sciences -- particularly in the areas of education, health, and public policy -- as well as from community organizations.\nSince the first Southeast Asians in the Diaspora conference in 2005 at UC Riverside – which began as a conversation between scholars in Vietnam Studies, Southeast Asian area studies, and Asian American studies – the field has expanded into an established field concerned with a range of issues in Southeast Asian America. This conference seeks to build on this growth of Southeast Asian American Studies and continue to explore ways to work with communities, advocate for change, and formulate policy initiatives.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://beamturret61.webs.com/apps/blog/show/47565257-experience-dubai-the-desert-safari","date":"2022-01-25T23:14:13Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304876.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125220353-20220126010353-00438.warc.gz","language_score":0.9233842492103577,"token_count":724,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2022-05","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-05__0__200693292","lang":"en","text":"Dubai has turn into one of the world's most sought following trip destinations.

On first glance, it’s a thin scrap of unkempt wilderness separated from the rest of Tooting Common by a busy main road. Unlike the rest of the common with its wide grassy spaces and street-lit tarmac paths, this bit has been left more to its own devices, with just a few well-worn dirt paths created by users over centuries.\nBut, as unremarkable as it first appears, look more closely and it becomes a treasure trove. As you step off the road into the common, the earth becomes springy underfoot. Inside, you find hawthorn trees with craggy brown trunks, remnants of ancient hedgerows. Matronly horse chestnuts with their leaves like big green bloomers. Mature oaks create a canopy of twisting branches. The woodland is filled with improbable amounts of bird song. Every day I’m accompanied by bold robins, but I also glimpse great- and long-tailed tits, and timid blackbirds hopping along the woodland floor. Occassionally, the rustle of one of London’s many rats crashes through the thick undergrowth.\nI have walked here many times, but never so often as I have since quarantine began. Now, I walk here most days. These daily walks have become a sacred time, and the woodland’s boughs a natural cathedral.\nAnd I am not the only person making greater use of their local natural spaces. In these days of quarantine, the place has never been busier. But, because of the social distancing rules, if you glimpse a human animal amidst the green, you avoid it as would a shy wood mouse on the trampling approach of an dog off its leash.\nWhile I generally like to be alone with the wood, I respect anyone who comes to worship here, and acknowledge their right to the space as equal to mine- that is, the right to come, be reverent and leave no trace.\nI don’t know whether closer attention to this little patch of woodland has allowed it to reveal more of its secrets to me, or whether closer attention has revealed the quiet and mysterious wonder of the everyday. Probably a little of both. But I’m deeply grateful for the reminder that the power of god’s earth to inspire awe can be found in sunlight falling on the smallest tender new leaf just as easily as it can be found from atop a mountain.\nWhere’s your church, your sacred place?

Similarly, developers creating libraries and applications can more easily use their software with a variety of mobile bases that are compatible with this specification. For example, this REP specifies the frames necessary for writing a new localization component. It also specifies frames that can be used to refer to the mobile base of a robot.\nThe coordinate frame called odom is a world-fixed frame. The pose of a mobile platform in the odom frame can drift over time, without any bounds. This drift makes the odom frame useless as a long-term global reference. However, the pose of a robot in the odom frame is guaranteed to be continuous, meaning that the pose of a mobile platform in the odom frame always evolves in a smooth way, without discrete jumps.\nIn a typical setup the odom frame is computed based on an odometry source, such as wheel odometry, visual odometry or an inertial measurement unit.\nThe odom frame is useful as an accurate, short-term local reference, but drift makes it a poor frame for long-term reference.\nThe coordinate frame called map is a world fixed frame, with its Z-axis pointing upwards. The pose of a mobile platform, relative to the map frame, should not significantly drift over time. The map frame is not continuous, meaning the pose of a mobile platform in the map frame can change in discrete jumps at any time.\nIn a typical setup, a localization component constantly re-computes the robot pose in the map frame based on sensor observations, therefore eliminating drift, but causing discrete jumps when new sensor information arrives.\nThe map frame is useful as a long-term global reference, but discrete jumps in position estimators make it a poor reference frame for local sensing and acting.\nMap coordinate frames can either be referenced globally or to an application specific position. A example of an application specific positioning might be Mean Sea Level according to EGM1996 such that the z position in the map frame is equivalent to meters above sea level. Whatever the choice is the most important part is that the choice of reference position is clearly documented for users to avoid confusion.\nIn the case that there are application specific requirements for which the above cannot be satistfied as many as possible should still be met.\nAn example of an application which cannot meet the above requirements is a robot starting up without an external reference device such as a GPS, compass, nor altimeter. But if the robot still has an accelerometer it can intialize the map at its current location with the z axis upward.\nIf the robot has a compass heading as startup it can then also initialize x east, y north.\nAnd if the robot has an altimeter estimate at startup it can initialize the height at MSL.\nThe conventions above are strongly recommended for unstructured environments.\nMap Conventions in Structured Environments\nIn structured environments aligning the map with the environment may be more useful. An example structured environment such as an office building interior, which is commonly rectilinear and have limited global localization methods, aligning the map with building is recommended especially if the building layout is known apriori. Similarly in an indoor environment it is recommended to align the map at floor level. In the case that you are operating on multiple floors it may make sense to have multiple coordinate frames, one for each floor.\nIf there is ambiguity fall back to the conventions for unstructured environments above. Or if there is limited prior knowledge of the environment the unstructured conventions can still be used in structured environments.\nThe coordinate frame called earth is the origin of ECEF. \nThis frame is designed to allow the interaction of multiple robots in different map frames. If the application only needs one map the earth coordinate frame is not expected to be present. In the case of running with multiple maps simultaneously the map and odom and base_link frames will need to be customized for each robot. If running multiple robots and bridging data between them, the transform frame_ids can remain standard on each robot if the other robots' frame_ids are rewritten.\nIf the map frame is globally referenced the publisher from earth to map can be a static transform publisher. Otherwise the earth to map transform will usually need to be computed by taking the estimate of the current global position and subtracting the current estimated pose in the map to get the estimated pose of the origin of the map.\nIn case the map frame's absolute positon is unknown at the time of startup, it can remain detached until such time that the global position estimation can be adaquately evaluated. This will operate in the same way that a robot can operate in the odom frame before localization in the map frame is initialized.\nWe have chosen a tree representation to attach all coordinate frames in a robot system to each other. Therefore each coordinate frame has one parent coordinate frame, and any number of child coordinate frames. The frames described in this REP are attached as follows:\nThe map frame is the parent of odom, and odom is the parent of base_link. Although intuition would say that both map and odom should be attached to base_link, this is not allowed because each frame can only have one parent.\nExtra Intermediate Frames\nThis graph shows the minimal representation of this graph. The basic topology should stay the same, however it is fine to insert additional links in the graph which may provide additional functionality.\nAn example of a potential additional coordinate frame is one to represent pressure altitude for flying vehicles. Pressure altitude is an approximation of altitude based on a shared estimate of the atmospheric barometric pressure. In flying applications pressure altitude can be measured precisely using just a barometric altimeter. It may drift in time like odometry but will only drift vertically. To be useful a pressure_altitude frame could be inserted between the inertially consistent odom frame and the map frame. There would need to be an additional estimator to estimate the offset of the pressure_altitude from the map but this extra coordinate frame can support extra functionality and does not break the abstraction outlined above.\nThis is an example of a tf tree with two robots using different maps for localization and having a common frame earth.\nThe diagram above uses different frame ids for clarity. However for maximum reusability it is recommended to use the canonical frame ids on each robot and use a script to forward information off of the robot. When the information is forwarded the frame ids should be remapped to disambiguate which robot they are coming from and referencing.\nWhen a robot travels a long distance it is expected that it will need to transition between maps. In an outdoor context map coordinate frame is a euclidian approximation of a vicinity however the euclidian approximation breaks down at longer distances due to the curvature of the earth. In an indoor context this can be transitioning between two buildings where each has a prior map in which you are navigating or the robot is on a new floor of a building.\nIt is the responsibility of the localization frame authority to reparent the odom frame appropriately when moving between maps. The common implementation of computing the map to odom frame as the results of subtracting the odom to base_link from the localization fix map to base_link will take care of this implicitly when the choice of which map frame changes.\nodom Frame Consistency\nWhen transitioning between maps the odometric frame should not be affected. Data retention policies for data collected in the odom frame should be tuned such that old or distant data is discarded before the integrated position error accumulates enough to make the data invalid. Depending on the quality of the robot's odometry these policies may be vastly different. A wheeled vehicle with multiple redundant high resolution encoders will have a much lower rate of drift and will be able to keep data for a much longer time or distance than a skid steer robot which only has open loop feedback on turning.\nThere are other contexts which will also affect appropriate retention policy, such as the robot being moved by external motivators, or assumptions of a static environment. An example is a robot in an elevator, where the environment outside has changed between entering and exiting it. Most of these problems come from the assumption of a static environment where observations are in the same inertial frame as the robot. In these cases semantic information about the environment and its objects is required to manage persistent data correctly. Regardless, the inertial odom frame should always remain continuous.\nIf the vehicle travels a long enough distance that the distance from the odom frame's origin to the vehicle approaches the maximum floating point precision, degraded performance may be observed for float-based data persisted in the odom frame. This is especially true of 32-bit floating point data used in things like pointclouds. If distances on this order are encountered a systematic reset of the odom frame origin may be required. If centimeter level accuracy is required the maximum distance to the odom frame is approximately 83km. There is not a standard solution to this, systems with this issue will need to work around it. Potential solutions include additional coordinate frames in which to persist obstacle data or to store obstacle data, or using higher precision.\nThe scope of potential robotics software is too broad to require all ROS software to follow the guidelines of this REP. However, choosing different conventions should be well justified and well documented.\n|||(1, 2) REP 103, Standard Units of Measure and Coordinate Conventions (http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0103.html)|\n|||Earth Centered, Earth Fixed Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECEF)|\n|||Mean Sea Level (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level)|\n|||Pressure Altitude (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_altitude)|\n|||Floating Point Precision (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating-point_format)|\nThis document has been placed in the public domain.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://events.rhinozone2020.com/venue/","date":"2020-02-28T08:52:08Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875147116.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200228073640-20200228103640-00309.warc.gz","language_score":0.8897427320480347,"token_count":186,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2020-10","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-10__0__152343959","lang":"en","text":"BY PRIVATE TRANSPORT\nThe best option to access Hospital Permai from the city center by car is to cross the city along Pasir Gudang Highway and into Persiaran Kempas Baru.

No, I am home, back home in my hobbit-sized apartment, which I have partially moved back into, except for some luggage and stuff under the bed that I can't bear to face yet, plus the subletter rearranged my complex system for achieving a socket for every plug, wherein all the lamps can stand where I need light and the two thousand extenstion cords aren't snaking across the floor. I did manage to sort out 8,000 ticket stubs and beer/wine labels from 20 or so countries. I discovered that if I did not recognize the language on the stub/label, it invariably proved to be Hungarian. In Budapest, Davy and I stayed with the first of many Grandmas in Eastern Europe who rent out rooms to travelers, and she spoke no English whatsoever, except for \"I am retired!\" which was the joke she'd bring out when we'd try to wash our dishes and she'd shoo us away. There was also sweet Croatian Grandma and Grandpa in Dubrovnik, who also spoke absolutely no English except for \"room\"; scary-friendly bachelor Grandpa in Brashov, Romania; and very cheerful Spanish Grandma in charge of the Hostal Portugal in Madrid, who spoke to us in baby Spanish and told me to go to Canada to seek out the fine chicos, and hugged Davy when we left, after what was indeed an amazing length of three days in such an establishment (the sign claimed it to be a one-star hotel, but clearly the star should have been revoked at some point).\nI had a mini-breakdown in Marrakesh, right at the arse-end of the trip, due to extreme sensory overload, crowds, and the number of people constantly asking for your attention. Luckily that was only for one night, and things vastly improved after we found a place to buy bottles of wine. Morocco is a place where, had there been bars of any description, I'm sure I would have turned to hard liquor for a good part of every day. There were plenty of people trying to sell us hashish, and indeed that probably would have been the best way of all to mellow out a little, however, both Davy and I cherished the fear of what would become of sweet affectionate Davy in Moroccan prison, and so refrained.\nI still don't feel like the kind of person who would take a big crazy trip like that--either it seems in retrospect not so crazy, or else it doesn't seem like I really did it, somehow. Hard to explain, except that it's weird to be back, much as I dreamed of the couch and lager and bars during day-long train or ferry rides through foreign lands. I was just getting a glass of water and remembering jumping off of a tram in Krakow around midnight, drunk and without a ticket, and riding the bus in Rome at night past the monument that looks like a wedding cake---Davy and I stood by the door in the middle, close together to keep balanced, and kissed when we passed a fountain.\nAnd I never photographed the art supply store in Krakow called \"f*art,\" (though I did get a picture of the German tour bus in Budapest labelled \"Fucker.\") I didn't get a picture of the five-year-old girl at the ferry port in Bari, Italy wearing a shirt that said \"cock me baby,\" or the guy in Marrakesh with a shirt depicting two boobs that said, \"hands off boys, they're mine.\" And I didn't get one of Amelie's purple arrow pointing up the steps to Sacre Coeur, because the Senegalese bracelet guys were too intense and blocking access.\nI'm just bragging now, and leaving out the parts where we traveled for two days straight and existed on potato chips, or the terrible stomach cramps in Athens, or sleeping on the floor in ferries, or sleeping sitting up in trains, or staying at the world's worst hostel in Krakow and not even being able to figure out how to get to Auschwitz in order to have a much worse time, or getting kicked off the train in Romania, or waiters constantly fucking with the bill in Romania and Morocco, or the disdain of the rug guys in Istanbul when Davy told them his rug budget was about $30.\nI did walk up the hill to the Parthenon just after dawn, though. And I did take a ferry ride up the Bosphorus to the Black Sea, and hike up a steep hill to some ruins, and look down at the blue water and know I was in Asia for the first time. And watched the sunset on the Danube while drinking too-expensive wine with Davy in Budapest, as a helicopter swept up the river to the chain bridge to film part of a movie. And I saw the Eiffel Tower. Davy and I were so glad to get back to Paris at the very end--we knew exactly where we were going, and spent a really nice long weekend just wandering around, seeing movies in English (\"Moi, Toi, et Tout les Autres\"), enjoying fall weather. And then I exhausted us with a long walk along the Seine and we couldn't find a good place for dinner (we choose one where the guy who worked there, as cook and waiter, repeated everything I said after me in a mocking cowboy accent)and then we were glad to get home (it took a while, and we hopped the turnstile at Charles DeGaulle, having not bought tickets for the ride there).\nAnd now I'm back, and it's weird, though nice, to see people I know, and understand what everybody is saying around me. And Davy's bed is so comfortable and my room is so quiet. I'm just kind of at loose ends, though, and already despairing of the job search. However, all is well. There are photos to be developed, and beer labels to be sorted. I put up some of the fine religious artifacts I collected in Greece, Turkey, and Croatia, and now my apartment is creepier than ever! Hooray!\nAnd PS. I never posted from abroad, but I always read people's diaries, and it was lovely to be able to keep up.\n<< - >>","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.loganwoods.net/","date":"2015-05-22T16:00:22Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207925696.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113205-00203-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz","language_score":0.9680586457252502,"token_count":173,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2015-22","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2015-22__0__32086651","lang":"en","text":"Logan Woods NaplesLogan Woods is located just east of Interstate 75 and North of Pine Ridge Road in Naples Florida.

It is one of the top ten coal industrial bases laid out during the first five year plan period, known as the \"cradle\" of Ningxia industry, and the proportion of coal related industry was as high as 90%. With the increasing depletion of coal resources, like many resource-based cities in China, Shizuishan once faced the dilemma of \"resource curse\" of \"resource exhaustion and city decline\"\nonly by seeking change in adversity can there be a way out for transformation and innovation. Guided by the new development concept, Shizuishan city takes off with heavy loads, solves the \"turning dilemma\" of resource-based cities through innovation drive, takes industrial transformation and structural adjustment as the main direction of attack, gradually bids farewell to the industrial pattern of \"one pillar dominating the sky\" of the coal industry, and walks out of a unique path of transformation of resource exhausted cities\nbreaking the dilemma of relying on energy and taking the innovation road of relying on science and technology can not achieve the expected results.\nas a typical resource-based old industrial city, the contradiction between Shizuishan's energy dependent industrial structure and the requirements of high-quality development is very prominent. Li Yuhua, mayor of Shizuishan City, said that to achieve high-quality economic development, the key for Shizuishan is to achieve \"two transformations\", that is, to promote the transformation from the cradle of the region's industrial bones where they are needed to the cradle of scientific and technological innovation, and from the industrial and mining Era to the ecological era\nin the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, Shizuishan people have suffered some hardships and tasted many sweets\nNingxia Weier Casting Co., Ltd., located in Dawukou District, was once a manufacturer of coal machine castings. With the sales of coal machine castings declining year by year, the market is shrinking day by day. \"The company devotes 8% of its annual sales revenue to research and development, breaks through path dependence with innovation, and makes breakthroughs in many fields.\" Wang Xiaoning, chairman of the company, said that the vector control switch under the machine drives the rotating shaft through the transmission belt. In May this year, the \"aluminum alloy sleeper beam of China's standard high-speed EMU\" developed by weir casting passed the test, breaking the situation that the key technology of sleeper beam of China's high-speed EMU was monopolized by foreign countries. At the same time, new products such as precision parts of industrial robots developed by the enterprise have received orders from foreign giants in the same industry\ninnovation is the driving force for leading development, and enterprises are the main front for transformation and upgrading. In order to force the transformation of enterprises, Shizuishan City has set up a comprehensive evaluation system of enterprise per mu yield benefits, built a comprehensive evaluation system of enterprise per mu yield benefits with the average tax contribution rate per mu and the total industrial output value of unit energy consumption as indicators, and implemented differentiated measures for enterprises in the allocation of resource elements such as policy enjoyment, land use, electricity use, credit, etc. through comprehensive ranking\na number of traditional enterprises have achieved \"fame and fortune\" through innovation. Risheng hi tech Industry Co., Ltd., located in Huinong District, was exposed by the media for polluting the environment. In the past two years, the enterprise has recovered the waste water and gas generated in the production process through technological breakthrough, and the annual output value of by-products such as soda ash has reached 600million yuan after forming a circular industrial chain. Xu Jian, deputy general manager of the company, said that through innovation and breakthrough, the enterprise has achieved transformation\n\"Internet +\" has become one of the paths for Shizuishan to seek transformation. The youth e-commerce entrepreneurship Incubation Park, which focuses on software development and electronic information technology, has incubated 120 innovative projects in total; There are 25 enterprises settled in the Luo Economic Industrial Park, and the city's e-commerce transaction volume has exceeded 2billion yuan; The digital economy represented by technology and finance increased the added value of the service industry by 9.2%. New economy and new business forms have sprung up locally, forming a diversified industrial system dominated by new materials, equipment manufacturing, biopharmaceuticals, modern textiles, etc. In 2017, Shizuishan was listed as one of the first demonstration areas for industrial transformation and upgrading of old industrial cities and resource-based cities in China\nseveral groups of latest data are exciting: in the first half of this year, the economy of Shizuishan increased by 8.4% year-on-year, ranking first in all cities in Ningxia; The contribution rate of science and technology to economic growth reached 51%; The energy consumption per unit of industrial added value decreased by 9.3%, which was the highest in Ningxia; In particular, the non coal industry has accounted for more than 60% of the city's industryPeng Youdong, Secretary of Shizuishan municipal Party committee, believes that this set of figures shows that the city has made a landmark breakthrough in transformation and structural adjustment, which means that the situation of \"one coal dominating\" has ended, and also indicates that the \"law\" of being born, thriving and declining due to coal will be broken\n\"black\" and \"gray\" were once the main colors of Shizuishan City, and this city has therefore been on the national \"black list\" of polluting cities. The painful reality makes Shizuishan people wake up: \"protecting the ecological environment is to protect productivity\"\nthe new development concept is the baton and traffic light. In recent years, Shizuishan City has vigorously promoted the comprehensive treatment of the ecological environment of Helan Mountain, the treatment of the water environment of Shahu Xinghai lake and other ecological treatment projects, and all industrial and mining enterprises in the Shizuishan section of Helan Mountain have closed down and exited...\nfrom heavy pollution control to planting trees to protect the green, the city has seen tangible changes. Up to now, the greening coverage rate of the built-up area of Shizuishan City has reached 41.7%, and the per capita public green space area is 24.1 square meters, successfully creating a national forest city and a national garden city\n\"compared with surrounding cities, our advantages and competitiveness are not resources but ecology. The former is unsustainable, while the latter is absolutely sustainable. The purpose of ecological transformation is to create investment depressions and drive industrial transformation, and the ultimate purpose of industrial transformation is to improve people's livelihood.\" A municipal leader explained the dialectical relationship among ecology, industry and people's livelihood in this way\nHuize Park, covering an area of more than 200 mu, is a good place for many residents to relax after meals. The completion of this park reflects the government's responsibility for people's Livelihood: if it is used for real estate development, it can bring more than 100 million yuan of revenue to the finance, but the urban two-level government has invested tens of millions of yuan to transform it into a park for domestic sales. Some thermal insulation material enterprises have made difficult breakthroughs in 12 tier cities for citizens to relax and exercise\ntaking ecological transformation as a breakthrough, industrial transformation as a focus, and people's livelihood transformation as a fundamental, Shizuishan has achieved the evolution from \"black\" to \"green\" by organically combining industrial transformation and upgrading, shanty town transformation, and industrial functional area optimization. Li Yuhua said that in recent years, the local government has insisted on investing more than 70% of the city's fiscal revenue every year to develop the cause of people's livelihood. Only in the reconstruction of shanty towns, more than 10 billion yuan has been invested so far, and 200000 people have knocked on the door of happiness through the shanty town reform\nself innovation breaks through the shackles and strives to transform the spectrum new chapter\nit is man-made, the key is man. To break through the difficulties, break the deadlock and create a new situation in the transformation and development, the test is the courage of cadres to take responsibility and be brave in their duties\nresource exhaustion, single structure and low efficiency were the three \"obstacles\" in Shizuishan's transformation. Therefore, the self-innovation of government departments in the transformation is inevitable\n\"there will be many unexpected problems and difficulties in the transformation. Whether we can achieve rebirth through the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, and whether Party members and cadres maintain a never slacking mental state and indomitable attitude of struggle are extremely critical.\" Hanxiaoying, director of Qingshan Park Management Office in Dawukou District, said\n\"it used to take two days to handle the approval of temporary stalls. Now, if you don't meet, don't run errands. If you pass or go up, you can complete it in about an hour after filling in the relevant information.\" Dai Kehe, deputy director of Dawukou District Government Affairs Service Center, said that using information-based means to promote the openness of government affairs, accelerate the promotion of e-government, and build a full process integrated service platform can better solve the problems of people's difficulty, slowness and complexity, and activate the new vitality of the regional economy\nin Dawukou District, people can handle nearly 80% of government service matters through the government service hall or \"palm government\".

Now, walking through Shizuishan city at the foot of Helan Mountain and on the Bank of the Yellow River, almost every place can feel the strong pulse of the old industrial base in seeking reform, unblocking obstruction and breaking constraints, and can hear the sonorous foot sound of the transformation of resource-based cities.

Many of the old\ncovers appeared to have received no more than might have been expected, for\nthey were worn and thus quite unfitted to the journey they had been expected to\naccomplish. However, here and there were strong specimens, pierced by\nprotruding roots, or ripped by sharp rock.\nSoon one began to feel that\nthe route should be called “Tyre” and not Eyre\nThe Nullarbor is a deadly place. An earnest,\ndesolate and apparently endless plain, its white limestone crops up everywhere\nand in every direction like dried bones. The explorer Ernest Giles, writing in 1857 after trekking across it, felt the\nregion to be unknown to any human being and forsaken by God.\nI drove into the Nullarbor on two\noccasions to look at one of its caves, Koonalda. Its prehistoric art and\narchaeology interest me. I believe it contains a key for helping us to\nunderstand the nature and history of what makes us human.\nThe Nullarbor Plain in South and Western\nAustralia is one of the world’s largest expanses of\nlimestone. It is the largest sub-tropical arid area of limestone karst. It is\nalso flat. A section of the railway that zippers it runs unbending for 479 kilometers—the world’s longest straight.\nCaptain E. Alfred Delisser coined\n“Nullarbor” in 1886 from\nthe Latin words nullus arbor, meaning “no tree”; the Nullarbor grows no\ntrees. The Aboriginal word nulla also means “not any” or “none.” The\nNullarbor can sometimes deceive its travelers into thinking they do see trees.\nLofty pines appear to clothe distant encircling hills. The levelness of the\nPlain reduces sight to about six kilometers, and the pines, as approached,\ndwindle in size to a half-meter-high thicket of broom. Atmospheric refraction\nplays tricks on the eye. This deception can bring death; in 1878 Professor Ralph Tate used it to\nexplain why the two explorers Fairie and Woolley lost themselves on the\nNullarbor and perished. They stumbled toward mirages that vanished.\nBat- and owl-haunted caverns dot the\nNullarbor. Caves undermine it. Its climatic and geological characteristics\nrender it a piecrust, mostly hollow underneath, which every now and then\ncollapses into the cavities to form surface-openings called dolines or sinkholes.\nAt the bottom of the sinkholes often open entrances into the Nullarbor\nunderworld. Prehistoric Australians knew these caves.\nNowadays, the train journey across\nthe Nullarbor takes 29 hours.\nThe Plain extends from 300\nkilometers west to 250 kilometers\neast of the South Australian-Western Australian state border, with a maximum\nwidth of 250 kilometers from\nthe coast. The present Nullarbor Plain is smaller than\nthe limestone formation, which covers more like 200,000\nsquare kilometers and which sand and sea cover in places. This enlarged\nNullarbor Region, about the size of Colorado\nor Great Britain,\nincludes three main features: a series of coastal plains up to 40 kilometers wide, a cliff line 40 to 75\nmeters high, and a plateau running inland from the top of the cliffs. At the\nfoot of the cliffs, lies the ocean or the coastal plain. A wooded belt some\ntwenty kilometers wide runs along the coast.\nRoy Gurney, the grazier of\nKoonalda Station, encountered ancient stumps when rounding up stock. Perhaps\nsome areas skirting the Plain grew trees. Perhaps Aborigines burned them off to\nhelp their hunting.\nVery large stations, such as\nthose of the Gurneys, farm sections of the Nullarbor with few sheep—and\nsometimes none—per hectare. The graziers’ forerunners believed in the rich\npastoral potential of the Nullarbor. Delisser, a squatter and surveyor and the\nperson who coined the name “Nullarbor,” searched for good grazing land. He left\nFowler’s Bay in South Australia and skirted north of Eucla, in both July 1861 and June 1865, and returned with overly optimistic reports\nabout the Plain’s farming prospects. This excess and romanticism is common in\nthe face of the Nullarbor’s desolation.\nThe sheep and cattle properties occur\nevery 60 to 100 kilometers along the Eyre\nHighway, the only east-west road that crosses the\nNullarbor. The abrupt cessation of towns and people on entering the Nullarbor\nmatches the abrupt rediscovery of them on the other side, as in an ocean\ncrossing. The settlements perch like islands. The railway line paints a similar\npicture: maintenance depots, stations, and human habitations cluster beside the\nline at similar distances. These, plus itinerant rabbit trappers and moteliers,\nbreak the otherwise uninhabited region. The only settlement of any size is\nEucla, and less than 200\npeople inhabit that. World maps sometimes include Eucla.\nThe road passes the Nullarbor sheep\nStation and its store, a couple of near derelict buildings, in the midst of the\nPlain and 25 kilometers west\nof the Great Australian Bight. A\nstreet light burns all day outside this, the\nPlain’s “Capital,” the only thing for hundreds of kilometers. “It stands in\ndesolate surroundings,” writes the overlander Basil Fuller. “Approach at dusk\nand you feel that perhaps after all the world is flat and that here is its\nedge.” Most of\nthe road passes within a narrow and lusher coastal belt, apart from around the\nNullarbor Station where it passes through a short and tree- and bush-less\nstretch, the typical Nullarbor.\nI drove along the Eyre\nHighway to visit Koonalda as a member of an\nexpedition that the SouthAustralianMuseum and the National Geographic\nSociety sponsored. I spent three weeks in Melbourne\nand Adelaide conferring with\nauthorities and gathering what we needed for the trip, including items of\nphotographic, camping, and caving equipment, and an unrefrigerated menu for six\npeople for three weeks. The SouthAustralianMuseum provided a Toyota\nLandcruiser and other supplies. I met the expedition members at the museum and\nwe set out toward the Nullarbor from Adelaide\non the first Sunday in January. Permission to enter KoonaldaCave arrived at the last minute\nfrom the South Australian Protector of Relics.\nHighway connects the 790 kilometers between Colona in South\nAustralia and Balladonia in Western\nAustralia. Its construction started on Anzac Day (25 April) 1941\nand follows an Aboriginal trade route and the course John Eyre traversed on his\njourney across the Nullarbor. A more defined trail developed with the movement\nacross the Plain of pastoralists and settlers, telegraph workers and gold\nminers, their stock, supplies, and communications. Camels bore explorers and\npulled heavy trains of goods. A cyclist, A. Richardson, rode over it en route\nfrom Coolgardie to Adelaide in 1896. The impetus for the 1941 construction came from World War II.\nFour hundred men cleared, graded, and laid gravel over the Eyre Highway and\nkilometers of road altogether. The route gradually saw reconstruction and\npaving until completion in the late 1970s¾engineers\nadded kinks to minimize driver boredom.\nWe spent a night at Ceduna. This\nfishing port, a little east of the Nullarbor, ships out grain and gypsum. It\nwas hot, dry, and dusty. We pitched our tents with difficulty in the hard\nground of a caravan park whose consolation was a battery of showers (an oasis\nfor those returning from the Plain), and a fish-and-chip caravan. “No Swimming—PollutedBeach” notices barricaded the park\nfrom the sea of MuratBay.\nThat night we broke the glass of a gas lamp—the first of the many problems that\nhampered our ability to illuminate KoonaldaCave. The next morning, after\ntaking down the tent, we waited for breakfast at the service station where we\nhad waited for hours for the previous night’s dinner. We then hunted to find\nliquid petroleum gas and kerosene for our lamps. The first we eventually\nprocured, but the second we gave up on. This added to our cave lighting\nOur two-vehicle cavalcade thus set\noff late. We drove westwards through hundreds of kilometers of wheat fields and\nscrub. The road was fairly good and paved at the start, with little traffic.\nHighway was mostly unpaved on my previous journey\nonto the Nullarbor. Invisible potholes dotted the nearly straight road, holes\nso large they threatened to swallow my orange VW Beetle. Circles of tires lay\naround the holes as warnings. I contributed a muffler and a hubcap to the parts\nthat littered the roadside. Red dust streamed from my tires. It wafted across\nthe road in fine white puffs, which dissolved into wisps as we entered them,\nincreasing to tree-high clouds that obliterated the foliage. It seeped into the\ntightly closed doors and windows¾irritating noses, throats, and eyes. The limestone\npowder of the Nullarbor can create the worst discomfort of travel across the\nThe early Nullarbor settler,\nsurveyor, and Justice of the Peace, Tom Brown, writes that all the roads and\ntracks on the Nullarbor are good and suitable for driving along fast. He is\nright if only one vehicle at a time uses the dirt road. Problems arise when two\nor more do. Drivers overtake blind in the pall of dust that the car in front\nkicks up, convinced no vehicles are coming in the opposite direction because of\nthe small number that use it. The Nullarbor dirt road saw a disproportionately\nlarge number of fatalities.\nWe traveled on 150 kilometers of new paving before entering\nthe dust. The potholes weren’t as bad this time as on my prior visit. On the\nother hand, with constant vibration from its undulations, the dirt road made\nfor more hazardous driving. I nearly lost control of the van because of sliding\nand wheeling on loose stones and dust. The other vehicle, the Landcruiser,\ndrove more sedately. The car wrecks had largely vanished and the land was greener,\nbut the boredom for the passengers still pervaded. The true treeless Nullarbor\nPlain provides more interest than those portions of the road that\npass through scrub and bush. Writes Benjamin Disraeli: “A forest is like an\nocean, monotonous only to the ignorant”¾to which Fuller adds that\nthe Nullarbor is only tedious to the imperceptive.\nWe stopped at a set of Government\nrain collecting and storage devices¾to fill water containers. Useable water doesn’t exist at\nKoonalda: no fresh water river or lake or stream. Its underground reservoirs\nare too saline for human consumption.\nThe lack of surface water on the\nNullarbor contrasts with other portions of Australia.\nNumerous sandy and wide watercourses, which run swiftly in the rare torrential\nrainstorm, interlace the driest parts of the continent. The Nullarbor holds no\nactive surface watercourses, however, even any that might flow on the odd\noccasion. Aerial photographs do chart relic river courses. These primeval\nremains of rivers occur in northern and western regions and appear to continue\nnow-inactive headwaters outside the Nullarbor; they didn’t reach the coast even\nwhen they flowed. Geologist J. T. Jutson thus considers the Nullarbor one of\nthe geographic wonders of the world. The Nullarbor isn’t waterless\nrainfall-wise, for it receives more precipitation than most of South\nAustralia. It lacks water because of its limestone\ncomposition; riddled with holes, it rapidly drains water from the surface. The\nNullarbor resembles more a wilderness than a desert.\nThe tanks the Government erected to\ncounter the lack of consumable water sit in pairs every 50-90\nkilometers along the Eyre Highway.\nEach holds between 20,000 and 60,000\nliters. The corrugated iron roof that more than covers each pair rises a little\nat each side so that water from rain and dew flows into a central guttering and\nfrom there to the tanks. A high, wire-mesh fence with a barbed wire cap stands\naround the perimeter of the covered area, presumably to keep animals and humans\nfrom polluting the water. From each tank a tap projects through the wire.\nFuller found this water unsuitable\nfor human consumption, even when boiled. He saw a possum floating bloated on a\nscummy surface in one of a pair of tanks. The feed pipe to the other tank had\nrusted through and the tank was empty. We had better luck when we sought water\nfrom the tanks. Even a little lizard poked out its head to welcome us.\nThe tanks of water can save lives.\nThe previous time I traveled toward Koonalda, abandoned car bodies lay beside\nthe road rotting in the sun. Hundreds of wombats, which we ordinarily never\nsee, also lay dead beside the road. Some call the wombat a living fossil. It\nloves the desert and looks half-pig and half-bear, with a large bulk, dark fur,\nstrong legs, and powerful shoulders. The Nullarbor sheep Station is the only\nplace where wombats are plentiful, according to Brown, a surveyor who lived at\nthe Station for about thirty years at the end of the nineteenth century. Fuller\nsaid the same thing in 1970.\nI could see beside the road around the Station, among the sparse saltbush and\nbluebush, mounds of freshly turned yellow soil that mark the presence of the\nnocturnal hairy-nosed wombat. Aborigines in Brown’s time walked to the Station\nfrom hundreds of kilometers to feast on the marsupials. Sometimes they spun the\nfur into a thread using two sticks and from this they wove garments. The wombat\nbodies weren’t victims of hit-and-run drivers, but of the drought the Nullarbor\nexperienced that year.\nThe drought also killed the sheep of\nthe stations. The grazier at Koonalda had no live sheep left on his land and\nworked on a road gang. Slowly rotting carcasses lay everywhere. Daisy Bates\ndescribes a similar situation in 1918: dead sheep lay around wells of\nbrackish water that windmills pump from underground. The land, she writes, was\nbare and lifeless, ravaged by the drought that ended in 1915.\nRabbits are the last creatures to\nleave or die during a drought because they crop closer to the base of grass\nstalks than can most other animals. Bates recalls the time when rabbits were\nmigrating across the Nullarbor into Western Australia.\nThey so easily devour the bark of sandalwood and other trees in the worst\ndroughts and dig up the roots of smaller bushes, she writes, that they adjust\nto almost any condition. She saw them climbing mulga trees to nibble off young\nshoots. I lay in my sleeping bag on the hard ground for the first few nights of\nmy earlier Koonalda expedition. I then found it more comfortable to sleep on\nthe rabbit droppings (up to 30\ncentimeters in places) with a ground sheet over top.\nWhen I visited Koonalda three years\nlater, the fully stocked and grassed stations showed no sign of the\ndevastation. The same contrast between good and bad years strikes Bates as\nwell: herbage covers the countryside in good seasons to create excellent land,\nideal for sheep.\nThe Nullarbor, at first sight featureless and aggressive,\ngrew on me. Its animals, plants, and geology¾and its people¾fascinated\nme. What I saw in KoonaldaCave\noffered me something also unexpected and unique.\nIt took three days to drive from Adelaide\nWe left the road at the Koonalda homestead\n70 kilometers or so before\nthe town of Eucla, and bumped\nacross the Plain toward the Cave. The track passes the occasional stunted\nmallee and samphire trees. The gray of bluebush, saltbush, and tufted spear\ngrass blends with the dull gray of the limestone earth. I am always unprepared\nfor a crater four kilometers from the Koonalda Station homestead, hidden from\nmy view by a rise in the ground. The Koonalda sinkhole descends, about 60 meters across and 30 deep.\nKoonaldaCave branches off in three directions.\nThe first to enter, the northwest passage, descends from the base of the\nnorthwestern end of the large crater-like doline or sinkhole punched into the\nPlain. It becomes a stadium-like 90\nby 60-meter chamber with a\nflat bottom. It then ascends a vertical 30\nmeters to the “upper chamber”: a 60-meter\nlong, boulder-strewn and undulating passage, which concludes with a low\n“squeeze.” The north passage leads off from the northwest passage near the toe\nof the entrance slope, runs for around 540\nmeters, and contains a number of lakes up to 27\nmeters deep. The west passage leads off from the second passage along its\nlength and culminates in a lake. Over this lake vaults a dome, which the end of\nthe “squeeze” of the northwest passage perforates high up.\nRalph Tate reported the existence of\ncaves from his 1878\nNullarbor expedition, and James Jones from his in 1880. The surveyor Arthur Mason and his companion\ntrekked 260 kilometers on\nfoot to Eucla after their camels were stolen near Boundary Dam in 1896. He passed the Koonalda sinkhole on\nhis way. A kangaroo shooter named Bob Scott rediscovered the sinkhole several\nyears later. He fashioned a ladder from kangaroo-hide ropes, ingenuity and much\nlabor, and climbed down not only to the bottom of the doline but into the Cave.\nHe may have been the first European to try drinking from the Koonalda lakes. L.\nA. Wells found from inquiries in 1904\nthat kangaroo hunters, with the assistance of Aborigines, often carried water\nto the surface. Disfiguring graffiti shows names and dates (“J. Broughton 1907”) on the wall above the “squeeze” at\nthe end of the upper chamber of the Cave. Casual visitors¾tourists,\nkangaroo hunters, dingo trappers¾ventured into the Cave and placed their mark.\nR. McCullough was probably the first\nto undertake a scientific visit to Koonalda. The government employed him to\nsearch for water. Descending onto a ledge of the doline by means of a rope\nattached to a secured iron bar, and then inching his way down below, he noted\nand later reported on the water and rock strata inside the Cave. G.\nW. Hunt, an inspector of stock roads, tested the salinity of the Cave’s water\nin 1904. Hunt also mentions\nthat G. W. Murray of Yalata Station and Butler\nof Nullarbor Station tested its water about four years previously. Wells, an\ninspector and valuer for the South Australian Survey Department, descended into\nthe Cave in June 1904 and\ndescribes its interior and the existence of water, as well as Murray’s\nearlier water inspection. He also mentions that a government boring party\n(perhaps McCullough’s) visited the Cave some years earlier too.\nDaisy Bates used a rope to help her\nvisit the Cave in 1914. She\ndescribes the Koonalda lakes as a huge reservoir of excellent quality and adds\nthat every rainfall in the north refreshes it. It becomes brackish, she writes,\nduring long periods of drought.\nGeorge Woolf was minister of the town\nof Ceduna and a missioner in the\nFar West Mission of the Diocese of Willochra for nearly three years in the 1930s. His parish included the treeless Plain\nand he loved to couple his parish visiting with his favorite leisure activity:\nJ. Maitland Thomson first organized a\ncave exploring trip to the Nullarbor in 1932\nand at least nine more times from then until 1960.\nThe Captain, as others knew him, noticed the name “Caves of the Catacombs” when\nhe looked at a map of the Nullarbor. The name enticed him and the idea of\ncaving attracted him. (The first European to see the Caves of the Catacombs was\nthe surveyor Jones who helped in the fruitless 1879 search for the explorers Fairie and Woolley, lost\non the Nullarbor.)\nA 1936 article refers to the Captain as the harbormaster\nat Port Lincoln, South Australia. He found his element on the Plain. Low scrub\nrenders potholes and blowholes invisible to anyone in the driver’s seat. The\nCaptain therefore piloted his vehicle from the bridge, seated on top of the\ncab, the driver responding blindly to the tapping above. One thump from the\nCaptain’s boot meant “steer to port,” writes Douglas Kemsley in his account of\na 1957 Captain-led\nexpedition for boy scouts, two thumps meant “steer to starboard,” and three\n“steer dead ahead.”\nOceanographic imagery befits the\nNullarbor. K. Peake-Jones, a master of a school group the Captain led on a\nNullarbor caving expedition, recounts:\nI have seen a squall\napproaching my ship across the Indian Ocean,\nand a squall rushing towards our lines across the Nullarbor, and they are the\nsame, if you replace spindrift with red-brown dust. The Nullarbor even has\nwaves on it; little, choppy tussocks and rabbit mounds, and a broad, shallow\nswell which makes it difficult to detect objects on the ground until you are\nright on them.\npicturesque nature of this imagery belies the danger: from sinkholes,\nblowholes, rabbit and wombat warrens, it is not easy to extricate one’s\nvehicle, and a rock noticed too late could quite easily disembowel vital\nThe Captain’s 1939 trip joined with the Spencer Gulf Aero\nClub for an aerial reconnaissance in the Nullarbor Station area. They\ndiscovered 43 caves in a\nflying time of two-and-a-half hours with three small planes. (Three decades\nlater, Jo Jennings and others employed a parallel technique of examining\nstereoscopic aerial photographs of the Nullarbor in a successful effort to\nlocate sinkholes.) The Captain’s squadron next touched down at Koonalda.\nThe articles retelling the Captain’s\ncaving exploits include incidental snippets. He recounts that in 1940 Roy Gurney heard that KoonaldaCave held water and climbed in to\ntest it. He then obtained a lease for the land around the Cave and he and his\nyounger brother lowered in an engine and pump. The Captain wrote in 1952 that the Gurneys still pumped the\nwater up the 85 meters to\nground level to water their stock. They continued to do so, though with\ndifferent equipment, on my two visits.\nCave explorers (or speleologists)\nalso visit KoonaldaCave.\nThe South Australian Cave Exploration Group formed in 1955 and organized an Australian Speleological\nFederation expedition to the Plain for December-January 1956-1957.\nOver 60 members of many\ncaving clubs took part in the cave exploration and scientific research.\nSpeleological societies organized a number of other expeditions to the\nNullarbor over the following years. They discovered and explored new caves,\nsurveyed and mapped caves (including J. B. Hinwood’s 1960 plan of Koonalda), and made scientific\nobservations. Many of these expeditions included stops at Koonalda.\nAlexander (or Sandor)\nGallus’s interest in the art and archaeology of KoonaldaCave began when he refereed the\nprehistory section of the 1956-1957 cavers’ expedition to the Nullarbor.\nGallus commenced his excavating in Koonalda, according to one account, because\nhe found there a large upright rock that supposedly couldn’t have fallen\nnaturally into that position. He thought that a group of people must have\nintentionally stood it up on end. He also came across two fireplaces: one\nsurrounded by flat limestone blocks in the twilight zone of the Cave, and the\nother further into the dark zone. Ted Lane conjectures that stone-age\ntoolmakers sat on the flat blocks warming themselves by the fire, while\nchipping at lumps of flint they had struck off the wall.\nPrevious discussions between Gallus\nand Norman Tindale, then Curator of Anthropology at the SouthAustralianMuseum\nin Adelaide, centered on artifact\nfinds from the Nullarbor. The presence of such artifacts on the surface around\nthe Koonalda doline confirmed for Gallus his decision to explore inside the\nCave for signs of human occupation. His preliminary survey revealed several\nsets of small stone tools scattered about the floor of the main entrance\nchamber of the Cave. He investigated seven sets in 1957 and an eighth in 1959. Lane’s report also mentions finding in the Cave\na bone awl and a bracelet made of wooden ornaments with kangaroo hair linking\nThe 1956-1957 prehistory section of the cavers’\nexpedition came across a dramatic scene in another cave: the solitary skeleton\nof an Aborigine lay face down in the powdery surface, with one arm\noutstretched. A lone wanderer, perhaps injured or searching for water, he must\nhave lost his way. A 1959SydneyUniversity expedition stumbled upon\na similar scene. The bones of a 27-year-old\nAboriginal woman lay scattered through an extension of BildooljaCave. Some bones were missing,\nprobably scattered by flooding, and two small unnatural holes perforated her\nthighbone. She had received a blow on her head about 18 months before she died. The expedition also found\nflint implements in the Cave.\nOver the 1959-1960\nsummer, Gallus and three student assistants undertook a second session of\nexcavations in Koonalda. Adrian Hunt discovered the line markings on the Cave’s\nwalls during this time. Gallus noted the resemblance of the drawings to the\n“macaroni” that supposedly characterize the beginnings of cave art in Western\nEurope and concluded that the Koonalda markings must be\nprehistoric and of a considerable age. A prehistoric workbench marked the\ncenter of excavational activity during this session in the Cave. The flint\nminers of Koonalda used this stone bench to rough out implements from the flint\nthey quarried. Gallus and his team spent a week of days as long as 15 hours to uncover the workbench and the\nmaterial scattered about.One of\nGallus’s three student assistants for this session was Graeme Pretty, a\nteachers’ training college student from Sydney.\nHe became Senior Curator of Anthropology at the SouthAustralianMuseum.\nFurther Gallus-led expeditions\nto Koonalda continued the excavations over the following years. The Australian\nInstitute of Aboriginal Studies (A.I.A.S.) sponsored the 1965-1966\nvisit and sent Jo Jennings and Richard Wright as observers. The A.I.A.S. then\norganized a 1967 expedition\nof specialists in art, fauna, flora, sediments, and archaeology, which Wright\nled and which resulted in the milestone 1971\npublication on Koonalda that he edited. Gallus contributed to this\ninvestigation, but archaeologically took a secondary role to Wright.\nDocumentary crews shot two films in Koonalda over this period.\nGallus revisited the Cave regularly\nfrom 1967 to 1976, extending his excavations and piecing\ntogether his understanding of the prehistoric activities there.\nMy assignment from Gallus in 1973, on my first visit to Koonalda, was to\nrecord photographically and in detail the well-known wall markings: the finger\nscrawls and lines engraved with a hard object, fanning out over large areas at\nthe back of the upper chamber. The first few days I spent trying to decide\nwhere to start and how to proceed. I worked with Christine Kortlang, whose job\nwas to draw the markings.\nKortlang’s mother led a troop of girl\nscouts to visit Gallus’s excavation site at Keilor, just out of Melbourne.\nKortlang went along too. The romance of archaeology inspired her. This, and the\nfact that she attended an art college prompted Gallus to ask her to spend her\nSunday afternoons drawing cross-sections of the excavations.\nKortlang chose prehistoric Australian\nart as the subject for her degree thesis. What looked like engravings appeared\non a small piece of rock unearthed at Keilor; she also heard of prehistoric\nmarkings on the walls of a cave in the Nullarbor Plain,\nanother site of Gallus’s investigation. Their abstract art could tell more\nabout ancient Australians, she felt, than could bones and stone tools. I joined\nthe dig at Keilor during this time.\nGallus invited Kortlang and me to\njoin him in KoonaldaCave\non his 1973 expedition.\nKortlang noticed, while picking her\nway between large boulders to reach the art area, fine lines on some of them.\nOn the second day of recording, she looked more closely at the markings. The\nfirst stone stands halfway along the path through the upper chamber. It is\nsmoothly rounded and buried deep into the cave floor, but its striking feature\nis some half-dozen deeply cut, parallel lines. They stand at a slight angle to\nthe vertical, at twenty-five millimeter distances from each other, and 150 to 175\nmillimeters long. The ancient red dust that fills them suggests their\nantiquity. They appear too definite to be part of the limestone’s structure,\ntoo ordered to be animal claw marks, and they show the same style as the larger\nscratches on the walls.\nI joined her. She blew away some of the\ndust that fills the markings and her eyes wandered to the stone behind. She saw\nmore lines. Blowing on the second stone, we saw markings finer and more complex\nthan those on the first. Another marked stone stands ahead of this, and yet\nanother. We announced our find to Gallus.\nI abandoned the recording of the wall\nmarkings and spent the rest of my time on that visit discerning the extent of\nthe scratches on the floor boulders. I found marked stones when I explored\ncrevices under the boulder floor.\nWe found other things besides the\nlines. A twisted piece of mallee root, charred at one end, sat on a high stone:\nthe remains of a torch, sprinkled with dust, resting in the same place someone\nput it perhaps 19,000 or more years ago. Clusters\nof charred twigs sit in cup-like depressions, perhaps the remains of another\nkind of torch of twigs bound together, dipped in animal grease, and lit. I\nfound the cranium of a giant kangaroo. I uncovered, under a loose and flat\nstone in the floor, a curved stone “cache” containing vertebrae.\nDid Aborigines make the marks and\nleave the torches? They visited KoonaldaCave up to relatively recent years,\nthough infrequently and with trepidation.\nThe same with other Nullarbor caves.\nWeebubbieCave¾also known as Weebabbj-Junnaaibil, which means\nslippered or hidden feet, or Weebabbie\nKarroo, “the place of the hidden feet”¾lies 15 kilometers northwest of Eucla. The name\nsuggests the soft shoes of dry grass or feathers that Aborigines strapped to\ntheir feet to disguise their tracks. Bates notes that the Aborigines feared the\nwhich they believed lay in wait in WeebubbieCave. W. C. Evans,\nin the early part of the twentieth century, couldn’t entice his Aboriginal\nfriends to enter what he calls Wee-BubbeeCaves. They believed that too much\ndevil or Muldarbie waited in it. This\nterrified them. Yet, Evans found in the Cave\nold pieces of charred wood (fire sticks) associated with a ridge of flint.\nDon Lawler recounts a story about the\ndrought-stricken Eucla tribe and WeebubbieCave. The shaman or medicine man\nwould perform his ritual to relieve the thirst of his watching tribe and then\nducked down into WeebubbieCave\nto emerge with a bag full of icy-cold water. He never told his tribe about the\nunderground lake. Much of this story could come from the imagination in\ncountless retellings. Bates, on the other hand, also mentions WeebubbieCave¾also known as Weebagabbi (gabbi meaning water)¾and that older men of the local Mirning tribe entered it, though rarely. They brought out water in bimpi (deep wooden water scoops) for\nrelatives who paid them. The younger people stood some distance away,\nThe naturalist Charles Barrett\nvisited the Plain during the 1930s,\nits wonder and loneliness luring him, and tells a story about MeregudaCave similar to the one about WeebubbieCave. He found the Aborigines\nfeared the Cave as haunted. It provided some years earlier a wooden\nwaddy-shaped weapon, he writes, studded with the teeth of dingoes and\nrepresenting the nose and eyes of a distorted human face. He considers it a\nrelic of some vanished tribe. Barrett also explored the Dingo Donga Sinkhole or\nthe Cave of Bats\n(subsequent expeditions failed to locate it until 1967) to search for such things as eyeless beetles. He\nwrites of the Cave as a vast hole punched into the limestone, large enough to\nhold a battalion of soldiers or a circus arena. Yet Aborigines fear the Cave,\nhe adds, as the haunt of “debil debils” and won’t enter it despite the way it\nbeckons into its underworld.\nOn my 1973 visit to Koonalda, I could stay for a week\nbecause I was traveling to the U.S. Kortlang and I encountered the boulder line\nmarkings that week, we explored their cave environment, we examined the other\nline markings in the Cave, we discerned something of the extent of all the\nmarkings, and I took many photographs. We then drove back to Melbourne,\nleaving the other members of the expedition to continue their excavation work.\nA priority for my three days in Melbourne\nwas to develop the films. I printed them once in the U.S.\nKoonaldaCave’s prehistoric art and\narchaeology presents a challenge: the art comprises lines in more or less\nstraight and parallel sets, drawn either with fingers or with some sharp instrument\nlike a stick or broken stone on the walls and boulders at the back of one of\nthe Cave’s chambers. A large volume of prehistoric art and engraving offers\nitself. What does it reveal about the engravers? What might it teach about\nhuman development and human nature? I speculate that these findings are from\nrituals people performed in this Cave 19,000 or more years\nago. Over one hundred and ninety centuries past, Aborigines perhaps drew on and\nengraved the walls and floor rocks of KoonaldaCave with sharp objects and with\nfingers, and extracted flint to fashion stone tools. They engaged in these\nactivities to the light of torches whose remains still sit on the rocks from\nwhere they illumined the scene. Are my speculations correct? Might the marks be\nnatural: animal scratches or geological? Moreover, if humans did create the\nWhile living in the U.S.,\nI met Alexander Marshack. Marshack is a rock\nart specialist who records and analyzes Koonalda type of markings found in Europe.\nHe developed a technique to look at the lines and he shared this with me. It\nprovides a starting point. I wanted to return to Koonalda to try it out.\nThe National Geographic Society\nsponsored my next visit, not only financially but also with guiding concern and\nassistance with photographic strategies. I crossed the Nullarbor for the second\ntime, enthused about what lies beneath its surface.\nAR02\\C03.doc3105 words13 June 2003\nThe inhabitants of this country are the miserablest\npeople in the world…, and setting aside their human shape they differ but\nlittle from the brutes. They are tall, straight-bodied and thin, with small\nlong limbs. They have great heads, round foreheads, and great brows. They have\ngreat bottle-noses, pretty full lips, and wide mouths. They are long visaged\nand are of very unpleasing aspect, having not one graceful feature in their\nfaces. The [color] of their skins, both of their faces and of the rest of their\nbody is coal black, like that of the Negroes of Guinea. They have no sort of\nclothes but the piece of the rind of a tree, tied like a girdle to cover their\nnakedness. They have no houses, but lie in the open air without any covering:\nthe earth being their bed and the heaven their company.\nSooner than we think the last dark dwellers of these\nregions will vanish from the country which was theirs and their peoples’ from\ntime immemorial, but in which they are now aliens, unwanted by the strange\n[White people] who have taken possession of their ancestral waters and bring\nthem but death and disease as payment.\nRichard Leakey extols the hunter-gatherers’ way of life as\nthe most efficient method of existence and land use. We may, like William\nDampier in the quote above, think of Aborigines in their original state as\npoor, culturally and materially. We may, superficially, imagine a gaunt people\nwho spent all their time scavenging from a barren and forbidding land for the\nnourishment necessary to survive. In reality, the women gathered the required\namount of vegetables in perhaps two hours per day, and the men mounted hunting\nexpeditions perhaps two times per week. The rest of their time was free for\ncultural pursuits and childcare. The life of hunter-gatherers leaves them more\nspare time than the life of agriculturalists.\nI spent a night on my return journey\nfrom Koonalda asleep outside a gas station on the edge of the Nullarbor. In the\nmorning, a group of Aborigines sat beneath the trees on the other side of the\nroad. They sold boomerangs to tourists and lived off scraps from White\nI wondered whether these Aborigines\nwere the Mirning tribe\nwho originally lived on the Nullarbor. But there are no more Mirning. The Mirning belong to the large number\nof distinct tribes of Australian Aborigines who have died out.\nThe Mirning (or Meening)\nwho lived in the vicinity of KoonaldaCave were, more specifically, the Yircla Mirning. Yircla (or Yerela, Yerkla, Yer Coloya) means the morning star (Venus) as it\nrises over the sand hills of Eucla and Wilsons Bluff, 20 kilometers northeast of Eucla. The word Yircla became Eucla, the White\nsettlement of the region. Mirningmeans “man” or “men.” The Yircla Mirning were, according to A. G.\nHowitt in 1904,\nmedium-sized, small-boned, slender, athletic, with a dark copper complexion and\nblack bushy hair. Their territory extended along the coast about 150 kilometers east and 60 kilometers west of Eucla, and north to the\nNullarbor Plain proper.\nThe story of the Mirning must include\nthe observations of Daisy Bates. It must also include a mention of her\ncompassion. Bates was an Edwardian woman who immigrated to Australia\nfrom the gentry of Ireland.\nShe married a drover but, disillusioned, soon left him and her son and went to\nlive with the Aborigines. Though she spent 50\nyears in a tent in the desert, she remained a lady, even to her high collars,\nlong skirts, and white gloves. Her high-heels left tracks in the sand well\nbeyond her tent. She shared life with “her” Aborigines, who came to call her Kabbarli (grandmother).\nBates camped within the border of the\nNullarbor so she could intercept the Aborigines who emerged from further inland\nand try to persuade them to keep their own style of life. This was their only\nchance, she believed. If they insisted on going to White outposts, she could\nhelp them by introducing them to European food, principally warm tea and\ndamper, and finding them clothing. She writes: “Guileless they stood to be\nbuttoned into the skirt and trousers of civilization.” From her own resources\nshe ministered to their basic needs: she fed them, clothed them, dressed their\nwounds, cared for their babies, and held the hands of their dying. She wanted\nto comfort this race she believed was disappearing. The most extreme of\nAboriginal ways, like blood drinking and infanticide, she accepted and tried to\nchange without condescension or criticism. She thought, she said, as an\nNo branch of religion could claim her\nadherence, but she displayed deep faith: “The secret of my lightness of heart\nis that every night I lie down and commit my soul to God.”\nCritics reprimand her for helping to\nforge the myth of “the dying Aboriginal race that needs the compassion of\ndo-gooders.” True, such a belief can obscure the problem and can hinder a just\nsolution because it fails to confront head-on the causes of social injustice.\nBut we misjudge Bates if we blame the creation of the myth on her. I say this\nfor three reasons. Her times produced her; she probably couldn’t see the\nunderlying issues as clearly as we think we can now. Moreover, the political\nand ideological causes did concern her¾only she felt powerless to\nchange them. Third, she did do good for the Aborigines because they may have\nreceived no relief had she worked only at a political level and failed to\nconvince the holders of power.\nAborigines also criticized her,\nespecially those familiar with White settlements. “Too much plurry Jesus,” one\nsaid; “not enough tucker.”\nWhites then and now find it easier to\nshun Bates’ example and to approach Aborigines on a level other than personal¾as\nstatistics or as objects of scientific study. The easiest way both to uphold a\nwish that they survive and yet to reject their culture, Terry Widders suggests,\nis to study them as objects.\nAnthropologists visited Bates’ camp\nin 1930 and offered her\nmoney. Upset, she threw their money back at them. Professor A. P. Elkin was one\nof the anthropologists. His review of The Archaeology of the Gallus Site, KoonaldaCave,\nends with an account of their meeting. He called on her out of duty and\ncourtesy, he says, not to learn about Aboriginal life and custom; she couldn’t\ntell him anything worthwhile. He found her disgruntled about seeing him. Later,\nhe helped her obtain money to organize her written material¾“a\nveritable ethnographic mine,” he calls it.\nA picture of Mirning life emerges from\nBates’s writings. This information may in turn help us picture the life\nof the people who frequented KoonaldaCave. Not that we can say the Mirning\ndescended from the Koonalda people. No skeletons of the line markers have\nemerged and nothing else suggests their physical characteristics. Culturally,\nhowever, we can say something. The research of an archaeologist who surveyed\nthe region in the late 1960s\nand early 1970s, Ljubomir\nMarun, indicates a social continuity on the Nullarbor over at least the last 25,000\nyears. This implies that the Mirning descended culturally from\nthe line markers in Koonalda.\nThe Nullarbor creates one of the\nlargest and most inhospitable areas that any Australian tribe occupied, the\nlargest piece of Australia\nwhere Aborigines couldn’t live. Little wonder that the Mirning only\ninfrequently ventured inland from the coastal tree and scrub belt, and then\nprobably only after heavy rains or to chase game. Yet, they lived like an\ninland tribe because of the inaccessible shoreline of pounding surf.\nThe Mirning menu listed\nwallaby, accompanied with snakes, iguana, wild dog, plus berries, and baked and\npounded mallee bark spiced with white ants. They also ate the hairy-nosed\nwombat and, where they could scale the cliffs, various sea animals. The\nKoonalda people probably added megafauna to this diet, including giant but now\nextinct forms of today’s kangaroos and wombats.\nWater concerned the Mirning\nits availability largely dictated their movements. Rock holes called “gnamma”\nholes trapped rainwater and provided one source. S. P. Stevens noticed them\nloosely filled with limestone boulders; the fill retarded evaporation,\nprevented animals from falling in and contaminating the water, and restricted\nthe consumption of the water by what Stevens calls “long-necked visitors” such\nas emus and kangaroos. The Mirning\nalso sunk wells in the coastal dunes. They drew from cave lakes for short\nperiods, possibly the less salty few centimeters on the surface. Sap water from\nrootlets of a variety of mulga species provided another source. The Mirning\ngathered a quantity quickly, broke them into short lengths, and allowed them to\ndrain into a vessel. Six hundred milliliters of this clear, woody-tasting white\nliquid collected in a few minutes. They also mopped with bunches of dry grass\nthe copious dew that falls in the night on the coastal Nullarbor, and then\nwrung the grass out into wooden containers.\nThe Mirning’s tools\nincluded hand-held knives, mounted adze flakes, spears, throwers, and\nboomerangs. Wilsons Bluff provided the flint. No record exists of their mining\nflint in KoonaldaCave,\nthough people did millennia before.\nMedicine men headed the tribe: they\ndecided disputes, set combat formalities, conducted initiation ceremonies, and\narranged marriages. The Mirning usually married within\ntheir tribe. They promised girls to their future husbands as children and beat\nthem if they eloped. Unfaithfulness constituted a severe misdemeanor. They\nstrictly observed initiation rites and circumcised 18 year-old men¾subincision in some cases.\nThe Mirning treasured\ntheir children and cared for them well. They practiced infanticide to limit\nThey feared the dead. They never\nburied or disposed of corpses but left the dying, returning when the corpse had\ndecomposed unrecognizably. All people spiritually entered a cave on their\ndeath. Through it, they could pass out to sea and into the after-life where\nthey hunted in similar grounds to those of their present life; the caves formed\nsacred passageways for their spirits. This may explain the Mirning fear of\nentering deep caves.\nTheir art¾or at least the little\nthat we know about it¾consisted of a few simple design elements now lost to\nhistory. We don’t know how these relate to the Koonalda markings.\nI mentioned in Chapter One that,\npossibly because of fire, the Nullarbor Plain proper may\nextend further now than in the past. Natural lightning may have set the Plain\nalight, though thunderstorms would soon drench any fire their lightning strikes\nignite. Aborigines may have set the Plain ablaze, though they may have visited\nthe Plain proper only during a wet season. The Mirning carried fire\nwith them (burning dry and resinous woods) when they moved. They lit fires for\na number of reasons: to cook, torch a camp on someone’s death, create smoke\nsignals, combat evil powers, hunt, and help foods grow. Harvey Gurney noticed\nthat fires in the coastal bush or mallee happen only in very hot weather and\nthen they burn only a few hectares. Whatever their origin, fires over a long\ntime altered the Plain’s vegetation (and therefore fauna). Excavations in the\ndrier segments of the Roe Plain portion of the Nullarbor Region document this\nfor at least the last 6000\nFirings of the Plain by Europeans to\nproduce more land for sheep devastated it worse than pre-European fires. They\nwiped out several species of marsupials. The more times a piece of land burns,\nthe more thorough and destructive the incineration. Plants and animals face\nless and less chance of survival.\nThe change in flora and fauna didn’t\nfactor in the obliteration of the Mirning tribe of about 150 people from 1870 to the early 1900s.\n“Despite the scarcity of food and water,” writes Marun, the Mirning\n“proved once again and for the last time during their final decades in\nexistence, that they were still masters of survival.” White settlement caused\nThe local Aboriginal population\nusually extended friendship to the early White explorers of the Nullarbor.\nReadily and eagerly, they pointed out water sources. Frequently they guided\nthem long distances in intense heat and thick scrub. “We were indebted solely\nto the good nature and kindness of these children of the wilds,” writes Edward\nJohn Eyre. “Unsolicited they had offered us their aid, without which we could\nnever have accomplished our purpose.”\nThe explorer Edgar Warburton spied\nsmoke rising from the scrub and sent one of his companions, O’Shanahan, “to\ncatch a [B]lack.”\nHe soon accomplished this. The Aborigine, though unwilling to stay, guided them\nto water the following day. The Europeans resorted to “a little coercion” because\nthey felt he misdirected them through thick scrub. They felt even more\ninfuriated when he left wearing two coats¾he was naked and shivering\nfrom the cold. “The travelers appeared to have ventured their rage in\ndenunciation of the whole race of [B]lacks in general and of their guide in\nparticular,” the chronicler adds, “for whose behoof the stockwhip was kept in\nPerhaps the Mirning’s belief\nin the existence of an evil spirit called Burga started with their experiences of European explorers. Burga\ncould harm unseen. He was white, always lurked around intending to hurt, and\naccosted people anywhere after sunset.\nWhite settlers arrived next to\nestablish farms. Aborigines irritated them¾by slaughtering sheep, for\none thing. The first White settlers of Eucla were the Muir brothers at Moorpina\nStation. Their only way to communicate with the outside world for their first\ntwo years was via the nearest outpost, Yalata, 770\nkilometers away. An Aborigine on foot took three weeks to carry letters there\nand back. Anthony Bolam, a long-time resident of Ooldea and its Station Master\nfrom 1920 to 1925, considered Aborigines “highly\nintelligent and in many respects vastly superior to their [W]hite detractors.”\nBolam saw many Aborigines who had\nwalked from the Macdonnell, Musgrave, and Everard ranges in the north, up to 700 kilometers away. They lived during their\nlong trek by obtaining water from their wells and from roots of trees, and they\narrived, in Bolam’s words, “wonderfully bright and clean.” They then donned\n“filthy cast-off” clothes, became “dirty,” and succumbed to colds and runny\nwith Whites brought diseases: alcoholism, venereal disease, and measles proved\ndeadly. So did missionary benevolence: Aborigines had to wear clothes, they got\nwet when it rained and, too frightened to remove their soaked apparel, they\nbecome chilled and died of pneumonia.\nThose who subsisted beside the\nrailway quickly learned that the “big train” trailed chocolates and coins. The\njournalist Ernestine Hill saw travelers amuse themselves by leaning out the\nwindows of their carriages to watch “a cannibal scramble for a pink-topped”\n“denizens of the central desert” became parasites, writes W.\nCharnley, “the poorest” of all the Aborigines who ever lived.\nSome Whites shot Blacks for target\nOoldea Soak was one of the\nlargest and most important watering places on the edge of the Nullarbor.\nPre-European Aboriginal tribes walked long distances to attend initiation\nceremonies there and, in severe drought, to bargain for water.\nWhite travelers left a track back to\ntheir starting point at Ooldea, along which curious young Aborigines trekked.\nWhite civilization magnetically drew them. Thus began the exodus of Aborigines\nfrom their own groups and totem waters, to which they never returned. Each\npermanent source of water had its group of Aborigines. They cared for it and\nadopted as their relatives the creatures that lived by it. The old waters\naround the edge of the Nullarbor fell bereft of their group owners and thus\norphaned. The Aborigines had come to Ooldea and its Whites, and the Ooldea\nwater became Weedula Gabbi (orphaned\nwater) for the now-derelict tribes.\nThe engineers who constructed the\nrailway saw the water of Ooldea Soak as a gift; it provided the only adequate\nsupply for thousands of kilometers. They took charge of it, ran pipes to the\nnew siding nearby, and soon drew off tens of thousands of liters each day to\nsatiate the demands of the steam trains. The Aboriginal population had to\nobtain their water from taps in the station.\nFive years after the railway opened\nto passengers in 1917, it\nneeded more water. Engineers sunk extra bores. Ooldea was a natural reservoir\nin a blue clay bed; clumsy calculations and the drilling broke through this\nbed. Brackish water from the bore beneath streamed up into the fresh water of\nthe soak and spoiled it forever.\nMany generations of Aboriginal people\nhad tasted the sweet and plentiful water of Ooldea Soak, maintained by a\nnatural balance. Upsetting this struck a double blow for them: not only did\nthey lose an important source of water, but a ritual center too. Aborigines are\nconceived spiritually at water holes. From there also come their blood\nrelatives, their other selves, and their totem animals. To destroy the\nancestral water destroys the soul of its people.\nThe young Mirning tribespeople\nleft their traditional areas and gave up their skills and laws in favor of the\nEuropean way. They found it hard adapting to it. The old customs bonded the\npeople together, gave them ancestral beliefs, the feeling of belonging, and the\nself-confidence necessary to learn a new life. White males freely abused\nAboriginal girls and women, so their moral code broke down and eroded away with\ntheir traditional way of life. In 1912,\nonly the old people remained alive. Writes Bates:\n[They] had no meat. They existed on Government rations\nof tea, flour and sugar. When these ran out they drank water until the next\nThey are in their Wommoos [brush shelters], these old\npeople waiting unconsciously though it be, for the mysterious end they know as\n“nalba” (death). Their contact with the [W]hites has destroyed their beliefs\nand now they are undecided as to whether they are going up into the sky or\nunder the ground¾or\njust becoming Kambu (skeletons) like the animals they have killed and eaten.\nSix more years completed the\ngenocide. Jinjabula, the last Yircla\nMirning man, died in 1918.\nFire, herds of camels, and other natural means then erased almost every other\ntrace of his people.\nS. A. White calls the local people of\nOoldea, “wonderful.” He\nwrites as they died off. Another person writes of their soon being “as rare as\n“Aborigines, when properly handled, can be of great help,” another writes of those\nAborigines who were station hands at Mundrabilla Station on the Nullarbor.\n“They are naturally slow, but patient; and the lowness of their wage-rate makes\nthem a great saving for certain work.” This\ndominant attitude decided their fate.\nwords13 June 2003\nNULLARBOR FAUNA AND FLORA\nAfter [a 50 kilometer] ride the travelers encamped behind\na [23 centimeter] high bit of saltbush, and in great\ndifficulty collected sticks enough to boil a pot of tea. To make a [campfire]\nwas impossible. The horses drew stunted saltbushes to which they were tethered,\nand gave no small trouble in their recapture.\nThe Plain around the Koonalda sinkhole was very dry and dusty on my\nprevious visit. The saltbush and bluebush seemed ready to die. I saw no live\nsheep and an extended drought pervaded. Now, I saw a little greenery. The\ndrought had broken. The rabbit plague had ended and the amount of rabbit\ndroppings around the sinkhole had decreased markedly. Sheep made their way to\nand from the water trough. Yet, the area around KoonaldaCave remains arid despite the comparison between drought and plenty, despite\nwater in its lakes, and despite lying 23 kilometers from the coast.\nA belt of vegetation for 16 kilometers from the coast enjoys evening\ndews and a higher rainfall than further onto the Plain. Sea breezes mean that it\nalso enjoys lower temperatures in the summer. A small increase in the rainfall\nwould probably widen this belt. Ralph Tate in 1878\ncalled this coastal wooded or scrub belt an “oasis.” Small eucalyptus trees\ndominate it. Mulga, myall, and mallee species also grow here, sometimes\ndensely. Strong and persistent winds from the Southern Ocean dwarf and shear\nthe vegetation in places.\nThe number and density of the scrub\ntrees gradually reduces away from the coast, until, at the Cave itself, the\nsaltbush, and samphire¾dominate. The two groups (shrubs and scrub) show\nopposite patterns of distribution. Botanist Helene Martin\ncalls the belt of mixed shrubs and scrub, the “arid scrub zone.” That sheep\nconstantly move about the Koonalda sinkhole and its adjacent watering troughs\nlessens the height and density of plants there.\nThe shrub vegetation of the treeless\nportion of the Plain phases in 10\nto 16 kilometers north of the\nCave. “The uniform color of blue-gray of the bluebush and saltbush stretches out\nas far as the eye can reach,” writes S. A. White. The\nhardy bluebush covers a large area to the exclusion of everything else, and\nthen links to a large colony of even hardier saltbush. Trees and large shrubs\nare rare in this third vegetation zone.\nSaltbush rises no more than a meter\nand is stiff and papery. It can absorb moisture from the atmosphere through its\nleaves rapidly enough to drink the equivalent of its own weight in a day. It\ndoesn’t need rain to reach its roots, unlike other plants; dew alone can water\nit. Bluebush has similarly adapted, but to a lesser extent. Both thrive on the\nNullarbor by default.\nFlowers bloomed and insects danced\naround and in the Koonalda sinkhole after a rainstorm when I was there.\nGrasses, herbs, and flowers flourish for a short time after rain. “Miles on\nmiles of plants in flower,” writes Charles Barrett, “with barren red-brown\nareas here and there, and islands of light green on the limestone, that were\nbushes with clusters of orange-[colored] fruits: a picture of the Nullarbor\nafter generous rains.” Large\nnumbers of insects attend the flowers and fill the transient pools of water\nwith their nymphs.\nThe floor of the Koonalda\nsinkhole supports a wide variety of\nvegetation. The Gurneys planted fruit trees here. A large fig tree offered ripe\nfigs and an apricot tree too many apricots: their Garden of Eden filled the\nsinkhole. It always appears green, even at the height of drought. Plants\nflourish here compared with on the open Plain because of the difference in\ntheir climate, shelter, and water resources¾a cool and damp breeze\nblows from the Cave into the sinkhole. Botanist J. H. Willis wrote in 1951 of the welcome greenery he encountered\nin the sinkhole of what he called Kunalda. He found the dark-green Black\nNightshade flourishing in 1963\non the shaded sides and floor of the sinkhole. Alien plants like this could\nderive from seeds in sheep droppings washed down or from seeds that human\nvisitors unintentionally introduce.\nA wider variety of animals live in\nthe sinkhole than up on top too.\nFor this reason, we set up our camp\non the surface beside the sinkhole. The thought of poisonous snakes, large\nspiders, and bats inside the sinkhole discouraged our camping down there. We\nhad to pitch our tents, which took a while because a strong wind blew.\nNullarbor winds can behave strangely: a gale can suddenly spring up from the\nnorthwest and die in 15\nminutes, and, after a short time, similar gusts may blow from the southeast for\ntheir allotted 15 minutes. A\nprevious group of visitors tried harnessing the wind to fly on their camp\nstretchers. Chilly and dewy nights drove us to sleep in our tents. Except\nSandor Gallus; he preferred to retire early, sleep alone under the stars, and\nnext appear at breakfast time.\nWe dug our toilet in the heat and\nflies: a grave-sized pit just over the brow of the slope that leads down to the\nrim of the sinkhole¾a\nhill by Nullarbor Plain standards. We attempted privacy\nby hanging a hard hat on a pole planted nearby. Vulnerability is using the\nKoonalda pit, enclosed by the sky and the horizon, and visible from all points\nof the compass.\nThe coolness and shade of rocks\nthat overhang the sinkhole provided a store for provisions and a good place to\ncook and eat. A cool breeze from the Cave entrance also refreshed. We tried to\nignore Gallus’s comment that more of the overhang had fallen since his last\nvisit. We lowered provisions and kitchen equipment one bucketful at a time by\nrope through a meter-wide hole in the overhang. The person below had to be wary\nof falling items. Ropes frayed and, with this long and hard work in the full\nsun, so did tempers.\nWe finished setting up camp and\nturned more consciously to our tasks over the next few weeks. Christine\nKortlang and I returned to Koonalda to look at the line markings in the light\nof Alexander Marshack’s ideas. We shouldn’t\nphilosophize on their meanings, he says, but closely study their structure.\nKortlang was to observe and draw the shapes of the marks and their\nintersections with each other. I was to take photographs to support\nher observations. I also had questions about the geological development of the\nCave. I wondered, for instance, when the rockfalls in the upper chamber\noccurred in relation to the human activity, and what smoothed and rounded the\nsmooth and rounded boulders on the floor.\nFour others accompanied Kortlang and\nme. We needed a detailed survey of the upper chamber. Surveyors Kevin Mott and\nIan Lewis accomplished this and, at the same time, satisfied their passion for caving\nin the Nullarbor. The two (whom we called “troglodytes,” or “trogs” for short)\neach day carried their heavy equipment into the upper chamber, set up their\ntheodolite on piles of boulders, worked feverishly, and then stayed up half the\nnight in a large tent to compile their drawings.\nNeil Chadwick from the SouthAustralianMuseum\nassisted with the archaeological investigations. He carried out minor\nexcavations in the upper chamber and squeezed his small frame into all manner\nof crevices to explore areas beneath the floor.\nAny team to Koonalda must\ninclude Gallus. The area of excavation in the main chamber of the Cave is\ncalled the Gallus Site¾an indication of his close association with the Cave. He\nand his teams have performed most of the work here; the depth of his trenches\ntestifies to hours and hours of patient excavating over many years. He spent\nthis time at Koonalda checking his observations and results.\nFive members of our expedition had\nbefore. The exception, Chadwick, had yet to enter any cave. He quickly found\nwarmth and interest in this chamber beneath the Nullarbor.\nThe Nullarbor resembles a piecrust\nwith hollow spaces under the surface. It can collapse where the limestone crust\nbecomes thin, such as at Koonalda, to expose the caves, tunnels, and galleries\nof its interior. This sometimes creates a seemingly bottomless hole¾a\nsometimes a doline or sinkhole. Over 130\nsinkholes perforate the Nullarbor, ranging from 2\nto 35 meters in depth and\nfrom 10 to 240 meters in width. Most occur within 60 kilometers of the coastal cliffs, but a\nfew exist beyond the railway line. Some are elongated and some circular. About\none third retain sharp features with their sides not weathered back and their\nbottoms not filled. Undercut scarps or lips of limestone feature commonly (we\nate our meals under one at Koonalda). So abruptly do sinkholes breach the\nPlain, most remain invisible until at their rims.\nI mentioned that the climate in the\nKoonalda sinkhole offers better conditions for life than on the Plain. It also\nprovides one of the few sheltered sites in the vicinity for birds. Welcome\nSwallows emerge in the evenings and flit about. Nankeen Kestrels hover above\nthe sinkhole, floating on the updrafts the swallows dart around in. The\nkestrels hunt the swallows and their nests.\nI occasionally saw a lone owl nesting\nin the crevices high up under the lip of the sinkhole. The Cave Owl of the\nNullarbor is a large bird with snowy white feathers, an expressive face with\nlarge eyes, and brown eyebrows ringed all the way round with light brown. Brown\npeppers its wings as well. It often nests on ledges in the walls of blowholes,\nsinkholes, and caves, and preys on small birds, lizards, and mammals. Appearing\nonly at night, it impresses observers when it perches on a limestone rock or\nscrub in the moonlight. Barrett writes that it isn’t a distinct species, but a\npale version of the Barn Owl, or Delicate Owl, commonly known throughout Australia.\nOn a day in January 1917, White only saw a brown hawk¾and\nhe had come to the Nullarbor to collect birds. He feels that, in all of Australia,\nthis area supports the least number of them.\nHowever, the day he saw only one bird was extremely hot (47°C) and he describes everything as tinder\nthe bluebush appeared to wither. Few birds would venture out in such\nconditions. Whether White is right or wrong, not many birds live on the\nNullarbor. Hardly any roosting places exist. Hardly any of their normal prey\nstill exists there.\nLike its birds, the native mammal\npopulation of the Nullarbor has decreased dramatically, probably most intensely\nin the late 1930s when\nfarming and settlement intensified. Few of the previously recorded species¾from\neither cave deposits or earlier accounts¾now exist here. “The\nmild-eyed hordes of kangaroos have been slaughtered in their thousands by\n[W]hite hunters who drank themselves to death on the proceeds,” writes Daisy\nthe rifle didn’t kill off native mammals the most. Neither did the grazing of\ndomestic animals, nor droughts. Rather, a combination of factors caused the\ntragedy: grazing by rabbits, increased burning of the Plain, and hunting by the\nintroduced cat and fox. The fox first appeared in Eucla in 1911 and reached the railway line after 17 years. Whites brought the domestic cat to\nthe southern edge of the Plain in 1899\nto control rabbits, and to Eyre by 1896.\nEuropean animals and practices broke the natural balance of the Nullarbor\nThe Government established a number\nof conservation reserves in the region. It plans to set up more. Yet,\npreviously common species have little chance to recolonize the reserves from\nisolated populations or by re-introduction from elsewhere, warns M. G.\nBrooker, while rabbits, foxes, and cats remain.\nRabbits, foxes, and cats¾plus\nother European and native animals such as caterpillars, grasshoppers, and\nin plagues and then disappear. An animal multiplies rapidly when conditions\nbecome ideal. Then food runs out, a disease becomes rampant, or a predator,\nwhich has also multiplied, decimates the population. The pest dies out or moves\non and leaves a residual population ready to take advantage of the next ideal\nConditions became right, mice\nmultiplied, and many millions of them entered Loonagana, a small settlement on\nthe railway line, during a night in 1931.\nThe inundation ate almost everything for miles around and disappeared as\nquickly as it appeared. It wasn’t the last.\nEucla first reported rabbits in\n1894 and Eyre in 1896. They reached the northern extremities\nof the Plain by 1900. From\nthe air in 1932, white\npatches marking their warrens reminded the geologist W. G.\nWoolnough of a much-shelled battlefield or of the alluvial workings of an old\ngold field. They became so numerous that 35\ncommercial trappers in the Cocklebiddy area caught 20,000\nrabbits per week in 1947.\nRabbit numbers can vary considerably, however. The density of predators such as\nthe fox and cat plays a part. The disease myxomatosis, a distorting and deadly\nvirus peculiar to rabbits and introduced into Australia\nto help control them, also contributes.\nRawlinna residents reported\nnumbers at around 3,500 per square\nkilometer during 1975, the\nthird consecutive year of above-average rainfall. The plague drastically\ndeclined from February 1976\nbecause of the rapid increase in the numbers of foxes. Rabbits became so thin\nby autumn that residents found them worthless to eat, and by May, they were\nscarce. Many of the rabbits migrated elsewhere. Others died for lack of food\nand water. In September, their dry skeletons littered the Plain. Three meters\nof dead rabbits filled a dug well on Seemore Downs. Rabbits died in their\nmillions in the drought prior to 1918\nand, at many of the railway sidings, residents collected the bodies together\nfor health reasons.\nDroughts don’t push rabbits\ninto oblivion. They survive and breed through long and severe droughts, in deep\nwarrens capped with limestone, ready to rejuvenate when good seasons arrive.\nRabbits, the Nullarbor’s most common grazing animal, constitute its most\nconsistent and worst pest.\nThe camel roams in large numbers\nnorth of and on the southwestern edge of the Plain. They wandered all over it\nnot so long ago. First imported to Australia\nin 1840, by 1866 they commonly transported goods into\nthe interior. James Jones employed them for his 1880 examination of the Nullarbor: in harness they\ndrew wagons laden with two tonnes over soft sand, and heavier loads on the\nrough but one-in-six gradient road up the Nullarbor cliffs to the table land.\nMany became trans-Nullarbor carriers. An estimated 20,000\ncamels inhabited Australia\nby the end of World War I, many pulling wagons of wool. Camels can plod slowly\nand steadily for 16 waterless\ndays in temperatures over 38°C\n(100°F). When they drink,\nthey drink: one can down 200\nliters at a time. Today’s wild descendants of the domesticated workers are\npests or tourist attractions.\nThe wild dog or dingo, which arrived\nin Australia a\nfew thousand years ago, appears on the Plain only occasionally now. It camps in\ncaves and dolines, and pastoralists and Government doggers trap or poison it\nbecause it preys on stock. The Western Australian Government used to pay a\nreward for the scalp of a wild dog. D. R. Nicholls writes that, in some\ndistricts, scalps were good currency and storekeepers would accept them over\nthe counter either for cash or in exchange for goods. One dogger tended nearly 600 traps and made his rounds in an ancient\nmotor vehicle that bumped over limestone boulders and rolled down saltbushes as\nif they were thistles. The Dingo King knew every trick of the trade and could\noutwit the most cunning dog. Barrett describes the Nullarbor in 1930 as dingo land.\nNot only do some introduced animals\nbecome pests, but some of the native ones do as well. One insect causes as much\nnuisance today as years ago. Writes Barrett:\nYou drink flies on the\nNullarbor; breakfast and dine with them; and in hosts they come uninvited to\ntea. From dawn until evening star the miserable insects annoy; clinging to\nhands and face, clustering on your back, and flying about your head when\ndisturbed. They are maddening until you become philosophical about the plague\nof the Treeless Plain.\nMy impression of Nullarbor insects\ngrew negative, what with the flies and the large spiders that webbed the trees\nin the sinkhole. I make an exception: a group of troglodytic insects that only\nlive below ground in caves and have no eyes.\nThe zoologist Aola Richards\nrecollects that science knew of no cave fauna from the Nullarbor before 1966 and that, within a few years,\nresearchers had described 114\nspecies from 47 caves. Six of\nthese are troglodytes and all of the six are blind. Five are rare. One is a\ncentipede, one a cockroach, three are spiders, and the sixth an isopod. Apart\nfrom the cockroach, each exists in only one Nullarbor cave. None live anywhere\nelse in the world.\nP. Aitkin collected a male nymph of a\nblind cockroach in KoonaldaCave\nThe hunt began for other specimens: “Wanted¾A Cockroach,” advertised\nElery Hamilton-Smith in a speleological journal. Other\nspecimens, living and dead, male and female, adult and nymph, appeared from\neight other caves widely distributed across the southern Nullarbor. From them,\nscientists erected a new genus, Trogloblattella\nnullarborensis. Its antennae are considerably longer than its body, it has\nlong slender legs, vestigial wings, smoothness in place of the eyes, but it\nisn’t depigmented. The females grow larger than the males. It doesn’t react to\nlight because of its blindness; however, it shows great sensitivity to\nvibrations and moves quickly. Scientists consider it one of the most\nspecialized cave cockroaches in the world, with many structural modifications\nof insects confined to the cold, damp, still, and totally dark interiors of\nlimestone caves. Trogloblattella\nnullarborensis is the only known troglodytic cockroach in Australia.\nI found the crumbling remains of one in the upper chamber of KoonaldaCave.\nIf blind insects live in Nullarbor\ncaves, why not blind fish in Nullarbor lakes? Species of blind fish do exist in\ncave lakes: Milyeringa veritas, for\nexample, some distance away in the Northwest Cape of Western Australia. An\nunsubstantiated story says a mining engineer found blind fish in Nullarbor cave\npools in the 1920s. They\ntasted like mud. Another unsubstantiated story says a caver found 50 millimeter-long blind fish in Nullarbor\ncave pools in 1968. They\nlooked like eels. Stories aside, nothing lives in the known Nullarbor cave\nwaters. We don’t know why.\nThe harshness of the Nullarbor nurtured a rich and subtle\nyet sensitive and small array of life. Small flowers bloom after the rare rain.\nUnique insects subsist in the dark underground. All of its native fauna and\nflora depend on fragile chains of interconnections. The European cat, fox, and\nrabbit eradicated many surface species of animals. The boot of a cave explorer\ncan eradicate subterranean species of insects. To reverse the destructive\nintrusion of European animals, curiosity, and greed will be difficult, maybe\nThe same applies to the cave markings in Koonalda. Explorers\nhave and will destroy them and the delicate environment that safeguards them.\nWe could easily lose a unique insight into ourselves.\nAR02\\C05.doc4043 words 13 June 2003\nIt gives you an eerie feeling that there is\nsomething uncanny about the kindly solid earth beneath your feet when you place\na hat over a hole in the ground and see it carried into the air by a current\ncoming from below. It recalls too vividly the theories of those philosophers\nwho hold that the earth is a living, breathing animal, which may some day shake\noff the beings who swarm like parasites upon its surface.\nTom Brown, an early surveyor of\nthe Nullarbor, found the Aboriginal people reluctant to set foot on the Plain.\nWomen would cry and men look glum when accompanied to it. They preferred to\nskirt the Nullarbor rather than cross it and shorten their walk by many days.\nTo chase kangaroos or emus, they might venture beyond the edge some 30 kilometers¾but return to their camps\nin the coastal belt when evening fell. They knew little about the Plain itself.\nJames Jones, hoping to find water suitable for stock, tried to obtain the\nservices of an Aborigine as a guide and tracker. The locals were loath to face\nthe Plain, much to Jones’ surprise, though elsewhere they would willingly\naccompany most parties and walk a great distance alone to deliver a letter.\nThey felt afraid because they\nbelieved that a monstrous and hideous serpent, exceedingly destructive,\noccupies the country beyond the coastal belt. As big around as a house and of\nuntold length, the magic snake Ganba\n(or Ganbaa, Gauba, Dijarra, or Jeedarra)\nmakes his home (Jeedarra ngoora)\nunder the Plain.\nDouglas Kemsley suggests that\nthe Pleiades constellation inspires legends for many indigenous peoples.\nAustralian Aborigines tell of the sisters Yugarilya (the Pleiades) who chased Ganba, the Devil Snake of the Plain, with their digging\nsticks. Ganba pushed up\nthe cliffs of the Great Australian Bight on his first\nflight. Then he slid into hiding in holes in Kattaoondiri (Bald Head on the Nullarbor Plain).\nAn old man told Daisy Bates that the sulky snake of the Plain pushed up the\nland with his shoulders so he could swim under the cliffs.\nSeveral old men from Bight Head said\nthey often saw Ganba\nplaying about in the sea. They would hear a roar and a hiss from a moonyungarra (blow hole) after a\nwhile, which indicated that he had arrived back fresh from the ocean through\npassages and caverns underground. Some versions of the legend have two\nmonsters, a sea inhabitant who visits his terrestrial brother.\nGanba not only created the tunnels beneath the Plain and the\ncliffs at the Bight. He also lashed about when angry to cause the dust storms\nthat sweep across the land.\nA great serpent that swallowed two\nmen left a track now a dry creek bed just beyond the Plain near Ooldea. The\nlocals dreaded it and wouldn’t venture near it. The people of Tigamba (Bight Head) hung closely\nto Arthur Chichester Beadon on his 1860s\nsouth to north crossing of the Nullarbor. They were terrified that Ganba\nwould eat them. Ganba devours anyone who comes onto the Plain within\nrange of his coils and jaws¾which could engulf “an old-man kangaroo as easily as a\npiccaninny swallows a witchetty grub.”\nTrees face the same fate. Ganba ate or burned all the trees\nthat grew on the Nullarbor in the dhoogoon\ntimes (which Bates translates as “dream” or “ancestral” times, the Alcheringa of the Arunta people).\nThe old men who told this to Bates showed their children pieces of dead or\nfossilized wood or wood from a tree they weren’t familiar with. They found the\nwood, they said, as near the home of the snake as they had dared go. One old\nman presented her with a piece of unidentifiable wood and told her that it\noriginated way north of the coast and wasn’t from any tree that grew in his own\ncountry. The sample was lost on its way for analysis.\nSo large and constant is Ganba’s thirst, that he sucks down\nall of the water laying on the surface as soon as it rains. Brown writes that 40 hectares of water 60 centimeters deep disappeared six hours after 125 millimeters fell in 24 hours. The next day he put his ear to a\nblowhole and heard the water flowing in rivers below. Ganba was drinking again.\nGanba emerged to eat people through gates that were also his\nbreathing holes. These blowhole orifices dot the Plain.\nBlowholes range from the size of a\nfist to a couple of meters in width. Professor Ralph Tate probably wrote the\nearliest account of them: in 1878\nhe describes them as perpendicular vents up which a violent wind rushes on hot\ndays. They breathe in or out for long periods. The direction of their breathing\noften shifts at sunrise and sunset, twelve hours in then twelve hours out.\nBlowholes generate a range of noises\nas they suck in air or blow it out: like tumbling water, steam, thunder, or a\ntrain at full speed. Sometimes they screech, whistle, roar, hiss, sigh, or go\nboo-boo. Such noises can startle a person when a bird or the wind usually\nproduces the only sound. Horses bolt before their riders hear anything¾only\nthe initiated observer concludes that a blowhole blows in the vicinity.\nThe expelled or inhaled air can rush\nat 30 or 45 kilometers per hour. A blowhole can tear\naway a cloth stretched over its entrance. It can throw back dirt tossed in it.\nIt can throw back in splinters a tree tossed down it. It can disperse the\ncontents of a water bottle into a fine spray. It can keep a hat or an open\numbrella suspended. It can force birds trying to fly out to go nowhere. It can\ncarry cavers’ hair straight up and tear their clothes off.\nA hot Don Lawler stood atop a “desert\nrefrigerator” blowhole and thought he faced an Antarctic blast.\nYou must watch out for blowholes when\nyou walk on the Plain, especially at night and especially in grass. A hollow\nsound beneath your feet indicates that only a thin slab of limestone separates\nyou from a cave or blowhole. Bates tells that the hooves of horses sometimes\npierce the crust and open up yet another blowhole. She found a wombat skeleton\nin one of these caves, evidently the victim of a sudden subsidence and unable\nto climb back out again. A posthole digger chipped into the limestone with a\nheavy, sharp crowbar. It slipped through his fingers and clattered its way on\nA few unexplained disappearances of\nthey fell down dolines or blowholes to their death¾possibly created the fear\nof venturing too far onto the Plain. The story of Ganba could thus develop. Aborigines avoided with terror the moonyungarra¾“having many evil spirits,” referring to blowholes.\nBates authenticates a similar connection between legendary magic disappearances\nGraeme Pretty and Sandor Gallus\nremind us that fears such as this didn’t prevent the ancient people of the\nNullarbor from entering and using KoonaldaCave. Given the terror of the Mirning\nfor the Nullarbor and the caves, they probably didn’t create the lines. The\npeople before them must have thought differently and felt less fearful.\nA scientific account of blowhole\nbreathing also reads differently from the Mirning legend. Experiments\nand mathematical theory suggest that air moves through small tubes in the rock.\nVariations in the atmosphere set up differences in air pressure that cause the\nblowhole air currents. The in-out cycles match the pressure changes: air enters\nwith high outside pressure and issues with a fall in the outside barometer.\nThis can happen around sunrise or sunset or with a change in the weather.\nBlowholes needn’t indicate the presence of caves.\nBefore the prosaic explanation,\nEuropeans preferred imaginative accounts of blowholes similar to those of the\nnineteenth century Aborigines. One writer interprets the wind rushing through\nblowholes as the sighing of a giant. Woolf populates the region with lost,\ndisembodied, earthbound spirits who go their way sighing and wailing, seeking\nthey know not what. Some perceive a dark smell they describe as the unhealthy\nfetid breath of the earth. Bates smells the sea, especially in the hot summer\nmonths and in the rage of a hot north wind. She writes in another place of\nocean winds sweeping violently out of blowholes. The draughts of blowholes emit\na strong salty smell, even a seaweed odor, writes Captain S. A. White. He\nsuggests that incoming and outgoing ocean tides pass under the Plain to cause\nthe air currents. His writings indicate that he probably visited the Nullarbor\nonly at the Ooldea end of the railway, over 100\nkilometers from the sea¾a far reach for the tide. Perhaps the Ganba myth, depicting his travels\nto and from the sea via the underground passageways, helped inspire the tide\nKoonaldaCave, unlike Ooldea, is close to\nthe sea. We decided to take a rest from caving and visit the ocean. We climbed\ninto our four-wheel drive and drove past the Gurney homestead back to the road.\nThen off the road again and across trackless land of scrubby vegetation that\nbecame lower and lower the further we went.\nThe land abruptly ended. The surf\nraged below the stark cliffs. Distant bastions stretched out of sight both\nways, contrasting with the sky. I sat on the edge of the flat world with my\nfeet dangling, aloof to the ocean that pounded below. The explorer John Forrest\nlooked cautiously over the precipice and reeled back in terror. He suffered\nThe rollers that ceaselessly march\nfrom the Antarctic ice bite the southern Australian coastline. The 60-meter escarpment starts at Point Culver in\nthe west. It continues for 150\nkilometers to Twilight Cove. Here the wall recedes inland for 240 kilometers, to lie about 45 kilometers from the sea at Madura. It\nswings back seawards from this point to front the ocean again after passing\nbehind Eucla. Sand drifts eventually cover and end its 650-kilometer continuity at the head of the Great\nAustralian Bight. The cliffs gradate in color from shades of\npurple at their base to dark blue and brilliant white. The sea contrasts with a\ndeep blue. The marble rim of the Nullarbor Plain is the\nlongest unbroken cliff-line on our planet.\nThe first Europeans to see the\nsuccession of towering cliffs from the sea found them formidable: Pieter Nuyts\nin 1627, Brury\nd’Entrecasteaux in 1792\nsearching for La Perouse, and Matthew Flinders in 1802 who, from the deck of his ship the Investigator, exaggerated their\nheight by a factor of three.\nThe height, length, and uninterrupted\nnature of the cliff line generated another series of Nullarbor legends.\nNuyts (or Nuijts) commanded the ship Gulde Zee Paert (or Gulde Zeepaard, the Golden Seahorse) in which he\nvoyaged further than anyone in his day. The ship blew off course in 1627 and accidentally followed the\ncoastline of the Great Australian Bight, probably as far\nas the Nuyts Archipelago. The Dutchman had found the GreatSouthLand.\nHe planned a colony here. Writings to tempt prospective Dutch settlers extolled\nNuyts Land: “one of the best countries in the world, the land abounds in milk\nand honey and in all those things capable of gratifying the senses and enabling\none to live delightfully; a land full of festivity and good cheer, which is\nfertile and without much labor produces easily and cheaply all that is\nnecessary for life.” Any\nsettlement, continues the advertisement, must first disembark 500 or 600\ngood, well chosen soldiers to spy out the land. After all, the local\ninhabitants may have fortified towns and weapons of war more terrifying than\nbombs and cannons. Giants of extraordinary strength and knowledge lived in\nparts of the world before the deluge and great flood of Noah’s time and perhaps\nthey now live here.\nLilliput, the land that Gulliver found in his\ntravels is, according to the longitude and latitude given, in the middle of the\nRear Admiral d’Entrecasteaux, aboard La Recherche in 1792, was next to sail past the Nullarbor.\nHe described it as so barren, sterile, and forbidding that it seemed\nunprofitable to spend time and energy exploring it. Still, the French planned\nto annex it. They called it “Terre Napoleon.”\nJohn Eyre in 1841, the first European to cross the\nPlain, looked for grazing land and a route for overlanding stock. His 1,600\nkilometers journey led him from Fowler’s Bay to Albany.\nHe concluded that the land was useless. He nearly died from thirst. Sand hills\nheld the little water that he found, but keeping to the sandy areas provided\nits problems. He writes that sand “floated on the surface of the water,\npenetrating into our clothes, hair, eyes, and ears, buried our provisions when\nwe lay down at nights, it was a perpetual and never-ceasing torment, and as if\nto increase our miseries we were again afflicted with swarms of large\nhorse-flies, which bit us dreadfully.” He\ncounted 23 of the bloodsuckers\nat one time on a 50\ncentimeter-square patch of his trousers.\nThe first Whites to venture onto the\nNullarbor proper were Miller and Dutton in 1857.\nThey looked north of Fowler’s Bay for sheep pasture.\nNext, Major Edgar Warburton in 1860 followed Eyre’s route to 130 kilometers west of Fowler’s Bay. He\nconsiders this “coveted land a desolate wilderness fit for neither humans nor\nbeasts”; it will remain according to its title, “No Man’s Land.” It’s\nnot worth being given, he says, and couldn’t for 500 years fetch the £1\nper acre that Sydney dealers ask\nfor it. His diarist suggests that some traveler will cross the Major’s Desolate\nPlains by a different route and discover a fertile region beyond it. (Nearly 150 years later, we can add that the Gibson\nDesert lies beyond the Nullarbor.)\nThe western boundary of the Province\nof South Australia lay, in 1841, on the 132°E line of latitude, around 50 kilometers west of Fowler’s Bay. “No Man’s Land”\nrefers to the territory (part of New South Wales)\nbetween it and the Western Australian border at 129°E.It\nbecame part of South Australia in\n1861. The name, “No Man’s\nLand,” derives from a bull of Pope Alexander VI in 1493that divided the world in two, one half to\nthe Portuguese and the other to the Spaniards, with a neutral zone between the 129°E and 132°E\nThe South Australian Government hoped¾probably\nbecause of strong lobbying¾to create a profitable grazing area out of the\nNullarbor, and in 1865 sent\nAlfred Delisser to survey it. He found the only spot along the cliff line\nsuitable for a port (near Eucla), but nothing else of significance. He\ndescribed the Plain as excellent farm country, if farmers could obtain water.\nThe Plain saw its first farms in 1871. The telegraph line along the coast\nopened in 1877, the first\npole planted at Port Augusta on 25 August 1875.\nFurther explorations occurred in the 1870s.\nW. H. Tietkins took up a lease for 25,000\nhectares near Ooldea in 1878,\nbut had trouble finding water for stock. He abandoned one attempt at a well 65 kilometers north of Ooldea after drilling\ndown 18 meters and finding a\nsmall supply of salt water, and another after 39\nmeters. He abandoned his venture after two years of deprivation when his funds\nran out. He later said in 1887\nthat agriculturalists reported the Nullarbor “eminently suitable in every way\nfor pastoraling, and probably also for the growing of cereals.”\nAboriginal legend describes the Plain\nas once wonderful and beautiful, a land of perfection. Europeans fixated on the\nNullarbor as a pastoralists’ haven: crops would grow in abundance and sheep and\ncattle would graze. Only a myth could empower the Whites to believe this and\ntry forcing it into a reality. Only a myth could empower them to believe that\nsufficient quantities of suitable water wait in this wilderness to transform it into fine pasture.\ncompany sent two men, Fairie and Woolley, to find suitable grazing. They left\nEucla on 4 November 1878\nto travel NNE, and no one saw them again. Jones tracked the last signs of the expedition\na year later: their water bags leaked and they overshot their camp tracks by\nover seven kilometers. They stretched a blanket through the branches of a tree\nto shade themselves¾the\nthermometer at Eucla registered 71°C\nto 76.5°C in the sun that\nday. One of their horses staggered back to Eucla and Aborigines found the\nremains of another horse, perhaps their other one, on the sea cliffs. Jones\nwrites that they probably abandoned any systematic course and headed directly\nthey thought was south¾stumbling from one likely looking object to another,\ncontinually to meet with disappointment. In their stupor, they probably fell\ndown a blowhole.\nJones thoroughly and enthusiastically\nwent about his tracking task, seemingly immune to the dangers that claimed\nthose he tracked. People lost in a wilderness like the Nullarbor often strip\nthemselves naked garment by garment, hanging one on some scrub and another on a\nstunted tree as they stumble along. Inexperienced people panic quickly,\nespecially when they notice their predicament at dusk with the uncertainty of\nnight about to fall. It is easy to become bewildered in this sea of saltbush\nwith a horizon of hazy mirages.\nThe pastoralists’ dream continued in\nthe 1880s and 1890s with the establishment of more farms\nand feasibility investigations for others.\nArthur Mason and a man named Younge\nset out to investigate rabbits. During the night of 26 July 1896 near Boundary Dam, shortly\nafter they started their journey, their camels and some of their provisions disappeared.\nThey spent a night sleeping on the Plain in a black frost and found their\nclothes stiff with ice when they arose. They killed their dog, skinned it,\npartially cooked it, and ate it. Dew clung to grass and bushes, so they sucked\nit off. That badly cut their lips. It saturated their leggings, boots, socks\nand the bottom of their trousers, so they took them off, wrung them out, and\nobtained four mouthfuls of water. The tan taste of the boots made them feel\nsick. Younge became delirious. The pair walked 260\nkilometers to Eucla. They examined the tract of land between Kurnalpi and\nEucla, and returned claiming to have discovered 400,000\nhectares of some of the finest agricultural and pastoral country in the world.\nMason also mentioned the Plain’s poor water resources.\nForrest traversed the Nullarbor in 1869. He afterward entered politics. The\nidea of a railway to link east and west enthused him and he pushed it, hoping\nto unify Australia\nand sever Western Australia’s\nisolation. He inflamed imaginations with the pastoral opportunity of the\nNullarbor: the train would open up eight million hectares of the best grassy\ncountry. Abundant water waited underground.\nThe Western Australian\nGovernment sent engineer John Muir in 1901\nto begin a survey along the route for the proposed railway, at least that\nState’s section of it. He considered this stretch of country one of the finest\nand admirable for grazing when water is found¾which would happen soon if\nproperly prospected for. The Western Australian Government mounted further\nwater-seeking explorations in preparation for the railway, most notably those\nof A. Gibb Maitland in the early years of the twentieth century. The South\nAustralians engaged in similar searches.\nWater is available on the Nullarbor\nfrom a few sources. Rock or gnamma holes store surface supplies, especially\nafter rain. Muir generously estimates, from the ones he saw, that they could\nhold between 1,350 to 45,500\nliters. J. T. Jutson reports these in 1934\nas a chief source of water for the limited pastoral use of the plateau.\nL. Keith Ward describes the two other\nwater sources in the Nullarbor, both underground. The water accessible in the\nlakes of the deeper caves is called groundwater. It lays a little above sea\nlevel and gently slopes seaward across the Plain. The lakes average 66 meters in depth. They contain too much\nsalt for humans and usually for sheep; better water floats above the salt water\non many of the lakes but, at a few centimeters in depth, that also offers\nA separate underground water system\nexists beneath the groundwater. Ninety meters of impervious clay sit under the\nlimestone, and sand and gravel below it contain water under pressure. The sands\nnorth of the Nullarbor absorb the water, it runs seawards, and the clay traps\nit. The geologist Henry Y. L. Brown thought he saw this water running into the\nsea at the foot of the cliffs, throwing up sand or mud from the ocean bed in\nlarge and continual jets and puffs. Forrest also noticed a stream of fresh\nwater flowing into the sea and the captain of a ship reported fresh water for\nover three kilometers from the shore. The salt level of this subterranean water\nvaries. Sheep can usually drink it, reports Maitland in 1915, but the pressure won’t raise it to\nthe surface. Farmers need to use pumps.\nOnly one of the eight bores the South\nAustralian Government drilled in 1880\nyielded water sufficiently free from salt. Few of the bores sunk over the years\nsucceeded. Yet the Government continued to pressure for agriculture and money\nmaking from the Nullarbor. In 1936,\na former Governor of South Australia lamented the neglect of cultivation in\nNowadays, the lure of oil and\nminerals sends explorers into the Australian wilderness. The geologist W. G.\nWoolnough states that his aerial survey eliminated the possibility of finding a\nstructure on the Nullarbor suitable for concentrating or conserving oil. No\nhope exists for translating this “veritable abomination of desolation,” he\nwrites, into economic significance.\nFlinders observed the sea cliffs and\nnoticed the absence of river outlets. He concluded that the cliffs form a\nbarrier between an inland sea and the open ocean. This myth of an inland sea¾perhaps\nbelow sea level¾stood\nfor many years.\nEyre inflamed the belief when he\nfound “freshwater snails” over the region. Tate\nnoticed wheelbarrow-loads under the larger bushes and saw them strewn thickly\nover the open country. He couldn’t walk two steps without crushing a shell.\nBates saw the slimy track of “the mysterious land snail” on early winter\nW. Earle noticed “dew shell-snails” crawling\naround and activated by any moisture, whether a slight rain shower or a dewy\nsnails grow larger and support a more acute\nturret on its shell than does the common garden snail.\nThe snails aren’t freshwater. No\ninland sea exists. Another of Tate’s observations proved wrong as well: the\nland doesn’t gradually slope away from the cliffs toward the interior.\nThe Nullarbor remains an uncanny\nplace of mystery and strangeness, of silent caves and waters. Scientist Michael\nArcher responded to his feeling of unease by taking an electroscope to test for\nNearly a century before, the train\narrived. It was heard a long way off¾softly as it passed over firm and level ground, loudly\nas it passed over hollow ground. By day, it belched sparks and smoke. By night,\nit wound its way as a “dragon of lights.” “And\nanon,” writes Bates, it was here, “moving and creeping so silently that\nnewcomers from the distant Musgrave and Everard ranges not infrequently\nsnatched up their weapons and flew northward again from the magic\nmonster…creeping towards them.” The\nwhole of Central Australia knew the legend of Ganba who killed and ate anyone he\ncaught on his oondiri\n(“the waterless,” the Nullarbor Plain). With the train, Ganba had left his haunt “to\nravage the earth,” as Ernestine Hill puts it, “with death in his breath.”\nAborigines started to take walkabouts\nover the Plain years later, in 1936.\nThe story of Ganbaceased to restrain them a long time\nafter Europeans arrived on the Nullarbor.\nThe Nullarbor, with its treeless\nPlain and black caverns, continues to offer challenges, fields of exploration\nthat call the investigator. Subterranean wonders repay the person who hears and\nanswers, writes Anthony Bolam. Human beings in the Nullarbor, he continues,\nfeel themselves second to something greater.\nStanding before the line markings in KoonaldaCave, I feel myself second to\nsomething greater too. I now need stories¾sustainable ones¾to\nhelp me understand.\nwords13 June 2003\nKOONALDA IN THE NULLARBOR\n[Two hundred meters] in from the entrance\nwe turned and looked back, and never shall I forget the sight of the great rock\nchamber with the light filtering in and changing colour as it diminished. The\nhuge domed roof and columns of rock could be compared with nothing else but London’s St. Paul’s\nCathedral. The beauty and majesty of it turned my chest as no [humanly]-made\ncathedral could do. At the entrance the light was blue-green, this changed\nthrough rose-pink to grey. The swift silent flight of bats and swallows added\nto the atmosphere. It is undoubtedly one of the sights of Australia.\nWe finished our first evening meal at Koonalda. The\ntemperature began to fall. Our irritabilities also cooled down and we felt\nready to re-enter the Cave¾at least re-enter for some of us; half had not yet been\ninside. Off we went.\nTo enter KoonaldaCave from the surface beside the\nsinkhole means a walk over thorny, sparsely grassed ground, and a climb over a\nbroken-down fence beside water tanks in which grow deadly nightshade. Kittens\nsometimes occupy one of the tanks; old cans fill the other. Past sheets of iron\nand onto rocks is the edge of the sinkhole, 30\nmeters deep and 85 meters\nacross. A steel ladder starts its 15-meter\ndescent. It remains perpendicular to the rim of the sinkhole until near the\nbottom where it slews off to the right. A forked branch supports\none side of it.\nAborigines descended the sinkhole\nwith the help of saplings tied with string. Other people climbed down with a\nrope, and some, such as L. A. Wells in 1904,\nwith fencing wire.\nThe last step off the present ladder\nleaves a further ten meters to the floor of the sinkhole down a zigzagging\ntrack of loose stones, the haunt of poisonous brown snakes. A fig tree stands\non the floor to the left of the track and, on the right, a peach tree that\nharbors webs of spiders with bodies eight centimeters across. Right around the\nfig tree, partly around and over another pile of rocks, the inconspicuous\nsix-meter wide entrance of the Cave opens up a few meters below. We left our\nprotective helmets here. A descent over a pile of rocks and debris (which\nSandor Gallus excavated a little) leads into the entrance. The track then\nclimbs up a little into the darkness. A pipe here that the Gurneys once used to\ncarry water from the Cave often struck our helmets.\nWater can percolate down from the\nsurface and dissolve away the limestone into solution tubes. Sometimes, the\nrock breaks away vertically to expose downward solution tubes as cross-sections\nand horizontal tubes as holes. Such holes and tubes mark a rock face just\nbefore the Cave entrance. Several people consider them the inspiration for the\nprehistoric line makers though, at 30\nmillimeters in diameter, they dwarf the engravings in the Cave.\nWe trimmed our lights once into the\nCave entrance. Gallus carried a kerosene Tilley lamp, and the rest of us lit\nwith gas lamps and candles. Battery lamps wouldn’t last\nFrom the entrance, a walk over a rise\nreaches the Gurneys’ pipe at foot level. The floor drops to the Gallus Site, 120 meters from the entrance and its ceiling\n75 meters underground. The\nslope rises a little further on the right until a shaft of light enters through\nSliding is the way to reach the\nGallus Site. A backwards scramble over large rocks interrupts the slide and\nleads to a short steel ladder that sits at an angle on the dust. The path\nmostly follows the Gurneys’ straight pipe, apart from hewn steps that lead in a\nwide loop from the bottom of the ladder. A track branches off from the last\nsection of the slope into the lake-filled northern chamber of the Cave.\nThe Gallus Site part of the Cave\nlooks like a football stadium or cathedral¾considering the feeling\nthe Cave engenders, the latter creates the better image¾90 meters long by 60\nmeters wide by 30 meters\nhigh. A shaft of light touches from the entrance. Otherwise, away from the base\nof the slope into the Cave, a reflected moonlight-type glow bathes the dark. R.\nMcCullough writes in 1892\nof the sun’s rays penetrating at\nbetween the boulders at the entrance and lighting up the chamber to show off\nthe dome and surroundings. The shaft of light changes color as the day\nproceeds: pinks and yellows, and sometimes a cold ice blue. Swallows twitter as\nthey fly around the entrance. It feels damp and cold. Horizontal lines of black\nflint and concretions, and nodules of powdery red-brown ochre (hydrated iron\noxide) sit conspicuously in the walls.\nPaths across the Gallus Site reach a\nstone wall that fences the excavations. The main trench threatens to collapse\nat its current ten meters depth; in the glow of the lamps it carries the eye\ndown and down. Corrugated cardboard signs say, “Danger Keep Out,” and, “Deep\nTrenches,” with Gallus’s signature. He has marked out what he considers a\nprehistoric mining trench with ceremonial picks, points down, at each end. A\nstone with a human shape sits propped-up on the surface together with\nsculptural concretions shaped like birds and other animals.\nBehind Gallus’s collapsible card table,\nto the right of another stele, the path arrives at the back of the Gallus Site.\nIt then climbs to the base of a 30-meter\ncliff. The upper chamber begins on top. A boost from behind helps the climber\nup the step to the winding trail up the cliff. The trail is also steep and\ncrumbly. It has fallen away at one place to leave it even narrower: eight\ncentimeters wide. I felt better when I ignored the hole with its darkness,\nstepped over it, and slogged up to a rest point. An overhang near the top of\nthe ascent forced me to my knees to squeeze under, especially when I wore a\npack on my back. Stones easily dislodged under my feet. A cup-sized rock once\nslipped from beneath my feet and bounced off Gallus’s hardhat.\nHow would the prehistoric visitors to\nKoonalda manage that climb, without a formed path and with glowing sticks for\nThe divide between the large\nrocks (the “ramparts”) at the beginning of the upper chamber appears\nunexpectedly. It welcomes and offers a needed ten-minute rest on a handy flat\nslab. I sat on this rock each day to eat my lunch, tinned meat and tinned beans\nin vinegar, a diet I soon tired of. At least no flies annoyed me as they did\noutside. I looked at the activities in the Gallus Site way down below.\nEverything said and every clump of Gallus’s pick I could clearly hear.\nThe upper chamber smells limy, cold,\nand dusty. Its overall color is white; lime dust pervades, patched occasionally\nThe ceiling domes with large holes\nthat correspond to similarly large chunks of rock below. Its height, at most\naround nine meters, contrasts with the Gallus Site section of the Cave. Its\nwidth measures 12 to 15 meters and its length around 200 meters.\nI never walked on level ground; I\nclimbed up, or I climbed down, or I clambered over boulders, or I jumped from\nstone to stone. The daily hike in and out alone exhausted me let alone the\nclimbing the rest of the day. The need to navigate in the darkness added to the\nchallenge. A large rectangular boulder stood out near the high\npoint of the upper chamber and a lamp caught it from\nalmost anywhere in this part of the Cave. I couldn’t remember the way out from\nthe rear of the chamber the first few times and I couldn’t see the entrance. I\nneeded only to head toward this friendly rock¾or “directional stele,” as\nwe called it¾and\nthe route became clear. In some places, the path also obviously wound around\nrocks and this helped. Yet tiredness eventually restricted even the most agile\nof us, especially toward the end of a day when our distance judgments waned. I\nfell once. My lamp broke, the glass scattered, and I lay in it on my back and\nwedged between rocks, shocked but unharmed. Luckily, no serious injuries\noccurred on our trip.\nThe lines strongly called me the\nfirst night. I showed the sights to the newcomers¾with a reminder to all of\nus that lines and pockets of charcoal survive on many floor boulders and that\nmoving in the upper chamber can easily destroy them. Neil Chadwick started to\ncompare the shapes of the rocks with animals and objects, the beginning of his\ninvolvement in the rock forms over the following three weeks. The surveyors Ian\nLewis and Kevin Mott looked around and discussed troglodyte questions.\nThe members of one of Thomson’s\nexpeditions to Koonalda¾probably that of 1935¾found\na footprint in the dust of the upper chamber. They thought it was that of an\nAborigine once employed to inspect the Cave. I found a footprint in the upper\nchamber on my earlier visit and tried to locate it again this time, but without\nluck. Perhaps someone had walked over it in the meantime.\nThe floor of the upper chamber rolls\nup and down. It divides into three sections. From the ramparts at the top of\nthe climb from the Gallus Site, it rises to a hump at the directional stele.\nThen it gradually descends until it arrives at a short precipice where the roof\nhasn’t fallen away and forms a step down. This defines the second section. A\nshort flat area lies past the foot of this slope before the end of the chamber\nat the “squeeze.”\nFrom the ramparts to the directional\nstele, the floor comprises smooth and rounded boulders. They show line\nmarkings. The floor of the second section of the upper chamber, from the\ndirectional stele to the slope before the squeeze, comprises rough and angular\nboulders. They show no line markings. The rock that did form the ceiling up\nuntil it steps down in front of the squeeze now forms the rubble back to the\ndirectional stele. Rubble from the rockfalls has slipped and rolled down the\nslope but, in the short distance that remains before the squeeze, the rubble\nceases and smooth and rounded boulders again comprise the surface. In other\nwords, the floor of the third section of the upper chamber is the same as that\nof the first section, interrupted in the second by the rough and angular rubble\nthat fell onto it. Lines mark the original stones of the third section too.\nThe rockfall opens up part of the way\ndown the slope to the third portion of the upper chamber. Under a slab of rock\nthat once formed a piece of the ceiling (its underside is smooth), sits a\nsmooth and rounded boulder, shaped like a bird, with a stream of lines running\nalong its “face.” Some other lines in this vicinity look like natural scrapes.\nThe most famous part of KoonaldaCave is the rock face above the\nsqueeze. Finger markings and large engravings cover dozens of square meters of\nthe wall. One set of markings, looking like chevrons or arrows pointing to the\nfloor, especially intrigued Gallus. His excavations beneath them turned up what\nhe interpreted as a prehistoric mining trench.\nTourists often venture to this\nterminus of the upper chamber and deface the Aboriginal markings with their\ninitials and dates of visit.\nThe roof and floor gradually merge\ntoward the area of the markings. This makes the upper chamber appear to end in\na four-meter wall. Through this wall, however, runs a slit called the squeeze,\nor “cat-run” in Thomson’s words. The upper chamber represents an earlier and\nhigher level of development of KoonaldaCave than the lower level of the\nGallus Site, during a period in which the water table (and sea level) stood\nhigher than at present. Scallop markings in the squeeze indicate that water\nonce forced its way through it into the upper chamber. G.\nW. Hunt reports from 1904\nthat, unlike the other passages in the Cave, a strong wind blew between the\nledges of rock at the end.\nThomson needed others to chip rock\naway in 1947 because he was\ntoo large to fit through the opening. I had to pull myself on my belly only one\nto two of its six meters. I slid into a meter high pit in the middle and\ncrawled the rest on my hands and knees. Mike Smith tried on our previous visit\nto crawl through an opening at the end of the upper chamber that he thought was\nthe squeeze. Though wiry, he had to take his belt off half way through and lie\ncalm for a couple of minutes before he could back out.\nThe squeeze leads onto a six-by-six\nmeter, triangular-shaped ledge, its apex at the end of the squeeze, and\nperching near the ceiling of a large chamber. It consists of boulders sitting\none on top of the other. Its edge is crumbly. Some of the undergirding boulders\nhave fallen away to leave a drop of about 30\nmeters. Richard Wright and his team picked up a few hundred flint pieces on\nthis platform, of which prehistoric humans fashioned at least 26. It is, Wright suggests, “one of the most\nfearsomely situated tool-making sites in the records of prehistory.”\nThe wall beside the ledge shows line\nmarkings. Markings also lie beyond the present edge of the ledge, presumably\ncreated when it extended further. Another opening at the same height as the\nledge appears to exist on the other side of the chamber: perhaps the ledge once\ncarried on right around and the upper chamber continues further. Perhaps\nprehistoric Aborigines visited it.\nThomson first squeezed through to the\nledge in 1935, but his\nlights couldn’t illuminate the far side of the new chamber. In January 1947, he, Roy Gurney, and two others sat on\nthe rock ledge and tried to solve the problem:\nI had brought pilot flares to illuminate\nthis space and setting one alight I threw it into the crater….It fell onto a\nledge of rock and burned brilliantly for about a minute, giving us time to look\naround. A second flare completed the job. I was delighted to see at the bottom\nof the crater a piece of wood leaning against the side.\nThomson had noticed the wood in the\nlake chamber that morning (Orville Dunnet used it to climb partway up the wall\nThe squeeze opens into the western\nchamber of KoonaldaCave.\nIt plus the northern chamber contain the Cave’s lakes. The northern passage\nopens off the northwestern one (the upper chamber and the Gallus Site) near the\ntoe of the first slope from the Cave entrance down to the Gallus Site. It\ncontinues northward for about 500\nmeters where it becomes submerged. In cross-section, it measures about 15 meters high and 18 meters wide and looks like a railway tunnel cut\nthrough the white crystalline limestone. The western passage, which runs in a\nwest-north-west direction, branches from the northern one about 150 meters in. We spent little time in these\nmost of Koonalda’s modern visitors, who focus their interest on the lakes.\nA little into the lake passage rests\na disused pump and its large car engine. The Gurney brothers once relied on\nthis equipment to water their sheep. They carried and windlassed the machines\nand the associated iron pipes into the Cave, cleaned and laid them. Their\nmammoth effort now rusts away.\nClay, red earth, with some rock collapse\nform the floor of the north passage between the foot of the initial slope into\nthe Cave and the branching of the west passage. Collapse has eaten out a dome\nat the branching, beyond which, some 150\nmeters in, lays a lake 60\ncentimeters deep and 45\nmeters long, with a bottom of mud and broken rock. Ted Anderson measured the\nwater temperature on 31 December 1963 at 14.3°C.\nThe water smells moldy and on it floats a thick brown-and-white scum.\nThose who swim in the lakes find them\nbitterly cold, despite the relatively warm temperature. They must lift their\nfeet high while walking in the water and each foot sinks a further 60 centimeters into silt mud with hidden\nsharp flint boulders that cut. The female members of my earlier expedition to\nKoonalda ventured a swim and wash in lake water; the bat dung floating on the\nsurface discouraged us males. The mud rules out feet washing. We visited the\nnearest motel on this trip for a once-only shower.\nA low isthmus of clay and rockfall\nabout 33 meters across comes after\nthe lake. The second lake then follows, with less scum than the first. It\nmeasures 145 by 27 meters, descends 1 to 1.5\nmeters, registers 14.6°C on\nthe thermometer, and contains large boulders with their tops jutting out. It\nwidens at a bend under another dome. Jo Jennings noted watermarks in January 1957 of up to six meters above the current\nThe Mountain (or SnowMountain), a 35-meter high cone of sharp edged rocks,\nfollows the second lake. Glauber salts glisten over it. Above rises a cupola-shaped\ndome, 60 meters wide and 68 meters up, only 15 from the surface of the Plain and the highest in\nThomson’s expedition sailed across\nthe lakes in a frail canoe, but barefoot to save the canoe from damage by heavy\nboots. They crossed the first lake to the Mountain where some of the party\nstayed while the others paddled across the second lake. Returning after two\nhours, they found the waiting members shivering from the cold; with bare feet,\nthey couldn’t move far. They all retraced their steps across the island\ncarrying the canoe. One of the party slipped on the slimy rocks and badly cut\nthe ball of his right foot on a sharp flint. The others rendered first aid and\npaddled him back across the first pool. Gurney then piggybacked him up to the sinkhole.\nAfter the island Mountain, comes the\nthird and final lake in the north passage. It descends six to nine meters and\nmeasures 120 by 24 meters on its scum-free surface. Hunt\nobtained a maximum depth of 4.8\nmeters in 1904. He thought\nit might descend further in places, but he couldn’t test the depth over all of\nthe lake because he found the Cave too dark, the water too cold, and, probably\nmore to the point, because his pontoon deflated too soon. Large boulders jut\nout of it and its temperature reads 16.9°C\n(a large difference, notes Anderson,\nfrom the temperatures of the other two lakes 120\nmeters away). One of a 1957\nparty, a Sydney speleo named John\nBonwick, swam the full length of the lake with only the light from his headlamp\nas a guide. “He must have felt very alone when he rounded the bend at the far\nend of the Cave and disappeared from our view,” writes Ted\nThe third lake in the northern\npassage ends in a small squeeze, which a person can float through on an air\nmattress. A terminal pool and steep chimney lie beyond it. A 1967 party tried to climb the chimney. They\nquit after six meters because it was too tight and the decomposed and chalky\nlimestone broke away too easily. The cold and damp also made them shiver\nThe Gurney brothers forged a dingy\nfrom a sheet of iron. It struck one of the boulders whose tops jut above the\nsurface of the water, and sank. Down went their lamp too. They struggled to the\nshallows and to the shore, and then groped their way back through the cavern in\ncomplete blackness with nothing to indicate which way to go. Some of the best\nhorses from a circus escaped around Koonalda and Gurney recaptured them after a\ncouple of days of tracking. In recognition, the circus sent him a dinghy to\nreplace the sheet of iron. But he couldn’t carry the dingy to the lakes. A\ngroup of boys arrived to explore the Cave 18\nmonths later and they carted it down to the waterway without any trouble¾frequent\nlifting of their bus from ruts had prepared them. Numerous publications refer\nto Gurney’s light boat. Not many visitors thought it light, however. One party\nfound it too heavy to carry over one of the islands and could only gaze out\nover the water to where their pressure lamps showed another archway leading to\nthe final chamber.\nwestern passage leads off on the same level as the northern one. Its floor\ncontains low piles of debris and two shallow lakes, the second around 18 by 21\nmeters and three to 4.5\nmeters deep at maximum. The passage ends in a dome 30 meters high. Near the top of this emerges the\nfar up for me to see it¾that the squeeze of the upper chamber emerges onto.\nGurney’s sheep drink water from the\nlakes in the western passage, pumped by windmill out of a pipe that passes vertically\nthrough the roof of the cave and up 90\nmeters directly to concrete tanks. (Gurney no longer uses the iron pipe that\nthe path follows into the Cave.)Humans\ncan’t drink this water because of its high salt content. We could drink the\nless saline top few centimeters if the bat guano didn’t pollute it.\nStalactites and stalagmites grow in\nsome Nullarbor caves¾none\nin Koonalda. Unusual crystals grow in the bat guano of some Nullarbor caves¾none\nin Koonalda. In Koonalda, grow snow-white helictites. These rare gypsum\nformations, sometimes curved and sometimes straight, develop sideways and\nupwards from one part of the wall over the lakes. Marion Carpenter describes\nthem as small gypsum flowers. The Russell Grimwade Expedition carried away from\nKoonalda a “curly stalactite” that the mineral collection of the NationalMuseum in Melbourne\nThe water in the Koonalda lakes\noriginates with the rain that soaks and runs through the limestone surface to\ncollect in underground reservoirs. Around 200-250 millimeters of rain falls annually\naround Koonalda. Winter produces most of it, though rare cyclonic depressions\ncan sometimes carry heavy downpours in the summer. Koonalda lies in one of the\nwetter portions of South Australia;\n83 percent of the State registers\na rainfall of less than 250\nmillimeters. Koonalda’s 200-250 millimeters also compares favorably with\nthe 150 millimeters in the\nnortheast of the Plain. Its climate is thus merely semi-arid and warm. The\nregion’s weather pattern originates with the moist southwest wind that prevails\nand sweeps across the ocean until it strikes the cliffs. There it precipitates\nits vapor on the Nullarbor. Koonalda lies close to the sea.\nFor Don Lawler, a member of a cave\nexploration group in the early 1950s,\ntorrential rain in the early hours of the morning broke his 30 days of silence on the Plain. It fell\nwithout warning and drenched sleeping bags¾and sleepers¾in\nseconds. After the rain, writes Ion Idriess,\na rainbow across the Nullarbor, but what a rainbow! A shaft of\nsunlight came smiling through the low, black sky. Quickly the ceiling of heaven\nlightened up to unguessable heights and as it did so the great rainbow drifted\ndown not over us but over all the vast Nullarbor. It must have been hundreds of\nmiles wide at base, a vast, entrancingly [colored] arch over all the Nullarbor.\nIts gigantic size, its perfect form, its dazzling medley of [colors] fairly\ntook our breath away. All the rainbows I had ever seen if blended into one\ncould not have compared with this.\nHeavy rain means flooding. The lack\nof river channels means the surface of the Nullarbor quickly turns into a\nslowly and southward moving sea. Sheets of water can remain in usually bone-dry\ndistricts for weeks. Wildlife appreciates the water and covers the ground as a\nmoving mass of lizards, rabbits, and wombats. A vehicle¾if not bogged down¾can’t\ndrive for 20 meters without\nswerving to avoid an animal. Rabbits lose interest in humans. When disturbed,\nthey hop a meter before they stop to plant their noses into another puddle.\nThe effects of the rain only stay\nbriefly, for two reasons. The Nullarbor’s honeycomb limestone quickly absorbs\nor drains away almost every drop of what falls. It also disappears through\nevaporation. At Koonalda, evaporation (2375\nmillimeters annually) exceeds rainfall in every month. (The rate in half the\nState exceeds 2750\nmillimeters.) Some water can stay for a while in a hollow of hard clay or\nimpervious rock (the gnamma holes). Each can hold up to 270 liters.\nPrecipitation arrives in forms other\nthan rain. Heavy frosts can occur in winter near the coast and dews are common.\nDews don’t occur inland because, while the temperatures there fall below the\ndew point, the air holds insufficient moisture. The early Nullarbor Station\nresident, Tom Brown, writes about the heavy dews and dense sea fogs that drench\ngrass and trees. Dogs and kangaroos quench their thirst by licking water off\nthem. Eyre sponged the dew hanging in spangles on the grass and shrubs,\nsqueezed it into a two-liter pot, and filled it in an hour.\nThe mean maximum temperature at\nKoonalda registers around 29°C.\nThe coast records an even lower mean maximum. Further inland the temperature\nincreases to where, for about 30\ndays of the year, it exceeds 38°C\n(100°F). In comparison, the\naverage minimum temperature in July decreases from the coast inland. Freezing\nnights match boiling days. Days become very hot when the wind blows from the\nnorth. W. C. Evans describes the north winds\nas like standing in front of a fiery furnace with its doors open. Eucla holds\nthe Australian record temperature in the shade of 51.1°C (123.9°F)\nfrom a day in March 1905.\nThe daily temperature there often exceeds 45°C\nin summer, even near the coast and even in the shade. An early inhabitant of\nEucla, James Lawrence, notes that the thermometer at usual registered above 32°C. The extreme heat from a northerly can herald a\nsoutherly: a cooling sea breeze. Southerlies cause their own problems. Eyre\ndescribes the southwester as “very cold,” chilling almost as much as the\nnortherly oppresses. Further, the sudden and radical temperature changes can\nClimatically, Koonalda is harsh. It\nreceives adequate rainfall, heavy dews, and not-so-extreme average temperature.\nAgainst this moderation act high evaporation, scorching northerly winds, cold\nsoutherlies, and the limestone’s porosity. Only the very hardy and well adapted\nThe climate of the\nNullarbor influenced the formation of KoonaldaCave and the area around it. To\ntrace the Nullarbor’s geological history, we must remember that it consists of\ndifferent layers or accumulations of limestone and that¾as the deposition of\nformed under the sea.\nThe upper 30 or so meters of rock comprise the gray-yellow\ncrystalline, and sometimes referred to as marble. George Woolf writes that it\ntinkled like a bell when he walked through caves formed in it.\nThe next 200 or so meters of rock comprise the white Wilson\nthan the Nullarbor Limestone yet harder than chalk, it weathers to a powder,\nand contains both black and white nodules of flint. Ralph Tate writes that its\nseams of hard white flint rang like chimes under his hammer. He examined the\ndeposit at Wilson Bluff on the coast; hence, the rock’s name. (The surveyor\nAlfred Delisser created the name Wilson Bluff in 1866. “If this point has not yet been named,” he\nwrites, “may I request that it be called Point Wilson, after Professor Wilson,\nof Melbourne, the acclimatizer.” An\neditorial footnote in his memoir comments that Sir Samuel Wilson and Mr. Edward\nWilson founded the Victorian Acclimatization Society, not Professor Wilson, a\nmathematician at MelbourneUniversity.)\nThe lower chambers of KoonaldaCave occur in Wilson Bluff\nLimestone, which perhaps explains why the prehistoric miners mined there.\nThe flinty nature of the Wilson Bluff\nLimestone caused headaches for the Western Australians who built the “old\nstring” in 1876-1877, the 1300\nkilometer-long telegraph line from Albany\nto Eucla. They couldn’t sink postholes through the flint in many places without\ncontinuous blasting. So they drilled shallow holes in the surface rock, sawed a\nmeter off the butts of the poles, placed them in the holes, and piled rubble up\nover a meter around for support. George P.\nStevens (the son-in-law of S. William Graham, the first telegraph stationmaster\nat Eyre’s Sand Patch in 1877,\nand himself postmaster at Eucla) writes in 1933\nabout how well many of the poles erected this way had weathered over 50 years of storms. They stand as monuments,\nhe considers, to the durability of the Western Australian jarrah wood, “as\nsound as the rock in which they are planted.”\nThe two limestones formed millions of\nyears ago. The various rocks now below the limestone subsided from the center\nof the Nullarbor in the middle Eocene (53\nto 43 million years ago). The\nlower part of the Wilson Bluff Limestone accumulated in the subsidence. Then,\nin the late Eocene (43 to 31.5 million years ago), the chalky upper\npart of the Wilson Bluff Limestone deposited in a quiet sea about 300 meters above the sea’s present level. It\nretreated from the Koonalda portion of the Nullarbor during the Oligocene to\nmiddle Miocene (31.5 to\nabout 17 million years ago)\nand erosion of the Eocene limestones occurred. Years later, the sea once more\ncovered and retreated from the central Nullarbor. Then, in the middle Miocene,\nit gradually expanded across the basin again and the Nullarbor Limestone\ndeposited. The Nullarbor Region uplifted around 15\nmillion years ago to become land.\nThe sea under which the limestone\nformed penetrated far inland. How far inland? The gulf it formed included the\nNullarbor Region, a large part of the Murray\narea, and parts of the Eyre Peninsula. Some geologists\nbelieve it ventured only to the northern fringe of the Nullarbor. Others\nsuggest that at times it nearly reached the Gulf of Carpentaria\nand just about divided the continent in two.\nNatural erosion of the Nullarbor\nsince its uplift out of the sea removed between 60\nto 100 vertical meters in\nthe south. The rock weathers evenly partly because of the low rainfall and\npartly because of the ease with which water passes through the surface rock.\nThe regularity in weathering plus the absence of earth movement created a\nof the most featureless large tracts on earth.\nThe surface of the Nullarbor isn’t\nabsolutely flat and smooth. It rises at a gradient of one in 5,000\nto reach an altitude of 200 meters\nwhen it meets older rocks at its northwestern extremity. Two features create a\nslight local relief. Claypans, depressions of a few meters in depth and around\na kilometer in diameter, frequently interrupt the flatness throughout the\nPlain. The other local features are troughs up to several kilometers apart.\nParallel, straight, and shallow, they run northwest to southeast and northeast\nto southwest, with intervening low rises of several meters. Boulders and the\nrare pavement of limestone stick out along the rises, while the troughs\naccumulate clay. The troughs aren’t pronounced enough to call them valleys. Few\nof these exist on the Nullarbor. One begins close to Koonalda. Its\nsix-kilometer flat floor runs continuously southward and its gently sloped sides\ndescend 4.5 to six meters\nfrom the level of the Plain. Mild slopes similarly close off its ends. It\nprobably formed as a stream during a former period of greater rainfall, though\nnow no signs of a streambed show.Dolines\noccasionally puncture the billiard-table landscape. The sides of a doline erode\nover time and it receives fill washed in from the Plain. It then forms a donga\n(a name which Charles G. Gibson introduced in 1909)¾round and flat-bottomed\ndepressions 18-410 meters wide, 4.5-6\nmeters deep, and sometimes with steep sides.\nDolines, dongas, troughs, valleys,\nand claypans interrupt the flatness¾so does the cliff line. The sea cliffs and the inland\nscarps pose a geological problem: how did they form, from the eating habits of\nthe sea or from the pushing habits of earth tectonics? Their relative\nstraightness suggests a fault origin. On the other hand, is this what happens\nwhen the sea erodes rock beds as uniform as the limestones of the Nullarbor?\nExperts currently prefer to think that the sea licked away the upper portion of\nlimestone to create both the submerged and the dry lower areas.\nOne of the dry lower areas is the Roe\nPlain. Its fertile soil derives from a thin layer of limestone laid down under\nthe eroding sea during the Pleistocene (1\nmillion to 10 thousand years\nago). Good crops of wheat grew on it in the early days of Eucla. Winds during\nprevious arid times carried loams from the upper Plain eastwards.\nA discussion of the Nullarbor’s\ngeology must mention its underground features. AbrakurrieCave, 48 kilometers northwest of Eucla, boasts the largest\ncavern on the Nullarbor, 365\nmeters long. MullamullangCave\nin the Madura district features one of the most extensive underground stretches\nin Australia, 4.8 kilometers long. On the other hand, the\nNullarbor registers a low rate of caves, around 130 for its 200,000 square\nkilometers. The Mole Creek area in Tasmania\nregisters over 100 known\ncaves in its 200 square\nkilometers. The scarcity of Nullarbor caves probably arises from its arid\nclimate; less rain, less dissolving of limestone, fewer caves.\nBlowholes, apertures up to two meters\nin diameter and 11 meters\ndeep and through which strong air currents gust in and out, appear more\nfrequently than caves: between 10,000 and 100,000\nof them. A continuum of cavern size stretches between blowholes on the small\nside and Koonalda near the top of the large side. Such a distinction, though\ndisputable, helps us understand how the Nullarbor caves formed. The two types\nbegan and developed differently.\nGroundwater that flows beneath the\nsurface toward the coast dissolves the limestone, especially that close to the\nwater table and particularly when the water table stood at about 15 meters below its present level. Collapse\ninto this lower level resulted in the modern caves. (Correlating lower and\nhigher water tables with similar sea levels may help date the cave creation,\nthough experts still can’t say for sure when they formed.) A further lowering\nof the water table, which would weaken the water’s support\nof the caverns, assisted the subsidence. Streams undercut the walls. Water\nseepage played a more important role. It enlarges the joints and bedding planes\nwithin the rock, preparing the blocks to drop down or fall inwards after their support\nweakens beyond a critical point. Earth tremors can also trigger a fall. An\nearthquake that shook the district from Cook to Eyre in 1950 caused cave subsidence. Rockfalls\noccur continually through the life of the Cave but on average less than once in\na lifetime. Collapsing tends to stabilize when the ceiling becomes a dome,\napse, or arch. When the water table rose to its current level, it drowned the\nlower parts of the caves.\nThe existence of other channels above\nthe present water table¾the upper chamber in KoonaldaCave for instance¾suggests\nalso a higher water table or water tables in times past.\nThe water sat 90 meters lower about 20,000\nyears ago when the Koonalda people visited the upper chamber. Perhaps they also\nvisited chambers now under water and inaccessible. Yet, perhaps portions of\nsome of these hypothetical chambers breach the water surface above the present\nlevel. If so, diving might reach them. Lewis arrived with scuba gear and wet\nsuit. He ventured into the final lake of the north chamber to see if he might\nmaterialize in another one unknown at present. Unfortunately, his rope lifeline\nwasn’t long enough and his body unable to stave off the cold for enough time to\nKoonaldaCave formed with the dissolution of\nthe limestone and the collapse of the ceilings into the dissolved channels to\ncreate stable geometric shapes. Other mechanisms operate as well. A gently\nsloping depression about 240\nmeters across surrounds the sinkhole and acts as its catchment. Surface water\nflows down from the Plain through the Cave entrance carrying soil, rocks, and\nother material into the lower parts of the Cave. Flat floors develop. Periodic\nflows inundated most of the Gallus Site at one stage, a factor that helps\nunravel how humans exploited this area in prehistoric times. The flows nowadays\nmainly stream into the northern passages and their lakes.\nThis water flow can round rocks by\ndissolving and abrading them. Salts saturate the lake water, however, so water\nin the lakes can’t dissolve much if any of the limestone. The freshwater\n“creams” on the tops of the lakes, and the shallow freshwater pools away from\nthe lakes, could dissolve it. We are particularly interested in how the\nboulders in the upper chamber become smooth and round. If the lake isn’t\nresponsible, what is?\nA form of cave breakdown occurs\ncontinuously. Surface grains of limestone flake off in a process called salt\ncrystallization or exudation. Water percolates through the rock and evaporates\nnear the surface to deposit crystals of sodium chloride, calcium sulphate, and\nsodium sulphate. The crystals grow in subsurface cavities smaller than\nthemselves and the pressure they exert pushes off surface grains. This produces\ndust, prevalent in Koonalda, and smoothes, rounds, and sometimes hollows out\nsurfaces. It also peels off skins from walls and boulders. The humidity and\nother conditions necessary to produce exudation occur in Nullarbor caves such\nas Koonalda. For instance, the air must move¾strong winds blow through\na number of the caves, in excess of 6.7\nkilometers per hour in Mullamullang.\nThe Aborigines of the\ngreater Nullarbor Region came to terms with the treeless Plain, its caves, and\nblowholes, through their myths. They thereby knew it and could coexist with it.\nOur equivalent to the Aborigines’ mythology includes the writings of geologists\nJennings and David Lowry, who built\non the sketchy labors of previous pioneers and gathered and synthesized a body\nof geological knowledge of the Nullarbor and its caves. Jennings\nparticipated in the caving society explorations and in the geological studies\nLowry, of the Western Australian Geological Survey, investigated the Nullarbor\nand submitted his work as a doctoral thesis. His and Jennings’\npublications provide for modern humans what the myths provided for the\nAR02\\C07.doc4124 words13 June 2003\nRESULTS OF EXCAVATIONS\nIn spite of this reservation [namely Robert\nWright’s not recognizing the coincidence of Koonalda’s and certain European\nstone tools], Dr. Gallus’s interpretation though somewhat imaginative at times¾not necessarily a bad thing¾is worthy\nof consideration. He aims at “a first attempt in placing Koonalda into some\nperspective within human evolution.” A little old-fashioned this may be, but\nperhaps it is none the worse for that. Dr. Gallus, a European scholar, long\nsince domiciled in Australia, brings his European cultural heritage to bear on our [endeavors]\nin Australian prehistory.\nSandor Gallus and bands of helpers journeyed to KoonaldaCave over many summers to excavate.\nHis last visit to the Cave was with me and he spent most of his time checking\nhis notes and diagrams. He draws cultural parallels between the remains of\nmining, workshop, and settlement activities that he unearthed there and what he\nsaw in Europe¾impressive\nenough for highly reputable international journals to publish them¾and\ncontroversial. Gallus was, and remains, suspect in the eyes of the Australian\narchaeological establishment. It ignores him if possible.\nGallus holds two doctorates: one in\nlaw and one in archaeology. A Hungarian by birth, he was the Curator of\nPrehistory at the Hungarian National Museum, Budapest, when the atrocities of the\nRussians toward the Hungarians lead him to leave with his wife and two sons and\nto rebuild a life in Australia. That happened in 1949. Australian officials examined his qualifications\nand experience and allotted him to manual labor. He then worked as a clerk and\nas a language teacher in various high schools until his retirement, but\ncouldn’t regain a professional appointment in archaeology. He vigorously\npursued his interest in archaeology and other subjects during his spare time,\ninto his retirement, and until his death in 1996.\nGallus mentored a number of young\npeople interested in archaeology. He encouraged them, inspired them, provided\nthem practical opportunities, and showed them what it’s like to have a vision.\nHe exemplifies quiet determination in the face of opposition.\nThe 1950s assumed, Gallus recounts, that the Aborigines\narrived in Australia\nshortly after the last ice age. Professional and popular belief dismissed\nearlier dates. This cautiousness resulted from entrenched ideas about the\nemergence of human beings: the highest product of human development happens in\nWestern civilization and, therefore, cultural evolution originates in Europe.\nGallus believes that both his Koonalda and Keilor (near Melbourne)\nsites produced evidence for the great antiquity of the human presence in Australia.\nFor instance, he considers that an implement workshop he unearthed in Koonalda\nresembles those of the Aurignacian in Europe. The oldest\nAurignacian finds in France\ndate at around 34,000 years ago, but the Koonalda\nfinds, according to Gallus, date at least 45,000 years ago. This\nnot only challenges the dates for the human presence in Australia.\nIt also proposes that the technology underlying this phase of human development\nfirst arose in Australia.\nRather than a backward area at the edge of the human world, the Australia of\nGallus’s theory leads progress during certain stages of human evolution.\nThe Australian Institute of\nAboriginal Studies mounted a multi-disciplinary expedition to Koonalda in 1967 to investigate Gallus’s claims. The\nmain presentations of the expedition specialists’ and Gallus’s results appeared\nin the same book, The Archaeology of\nthe Gallus Site, KoonaldaCave.\nRichard Wright of the University of Sydney\nled that Expedition, edited the book, and produced the authoritative findings\nThe Gallus Site area of the Cave¾the\nmain chamber at the foot of the entrance slope¾features a deep hole near\nthe rear: the remains of Gallus’s three main excavations and Wright’s\nextensions to Gallus’s Trench III. Three matters concerned these\n·the stratigraphy: the\nlayer-by-layer accumulation of soil, rock, and other materials;\n·the radiocarbon dates from charcoal and similar\n·the artifact finds (mainly stone tools) and\nGallus, Wright, and Rudy Frank, a\nsoil scientist on Wright’s expedition, agree that three layers of accumulation\nare present: white-pink deposits (the top white), red deposits (the\nintermediate red), and further white-pink deposits (the bottom white). The top\nwhite comprises two meters of a mixture of limestone rubble, flint, pink and\nred dust, and fireplaces. It results from normal breakdown of the Cave (the\ngradual collapsing and wearing away of the Cave interior) plus human debris.\nBeneath this lies the intermediate red, about four meters of level red deposit\nwashed in from the surface, with a small amount of white limestone from\nbreakdown of the Cave. Frank compares the two deposits as the steady and\ncontinual accumulation of breakdown versus the sporadic dumping of soil that\nshort-lived streams carry into the Cave after rain on the Plain. The lowest\nlevel, the bottom white, similar to the top level, comprises breakdown and\nlarge limestone boulders with some red soil between them.\nNeither Wright nor Gallus (Frank\ndidn’t excavate) reached the bottom of the deposit, the solid rock floor of the\nCave. Gallus had only reached the top of the bottom white when Wright excavated\nand wrote his report. Wright says that a massive rockfall prevented him from\ninvestigating deeper and, therefore, he leaves open an earliest date for human\nuse of the Cave.\nWright bases his dates for the\nprehistoric use of the Gallus Site on an analysis of nine carbon-14 datings on pieces of charcoal from a\nsignificant part of the excavation, Trench III. The dates range from 10,000\nyears ago. Wright disregards the oldest date, however, because to him it seems\nout of place with the other eight datings. He concludes that the traces of\nhuman occupation date from about 15,000 to 22,000\nGallus needs a date for Floor 7 in Trench III, near the bottom of the\nintermediate red unit, because there he found what he considers an important\ncollection of stone artifacts. It dates at around 20,000-21,000\nyears old according to Wright’s list of dates. Gallus questions some of\nWright’s dates, however. So he calls upon two other methods to establish an age\nfor Floor 7: fitting it into a\nspecific geological period, and comparing the tools found on it with ones of\nsimilar style and of known age.\nHe arrives at an approximate age of 45,000\nyears for Floor 7 with the\ngeological method. It draws, unfortunately, on the 31,000-year\ndate that Wright dismisses. It also questionably divides the intermediate red\ndeposit into levels laid down in different climatic periods. Gallus argues this\nway. When the intermediate red deposit formed, water ran into and ponded in the\nGallus Site and not only in the northern chamber of the Cave, the area that now\nreceives water after heavy rain. This would only happen if more water flowed\ninto the Cave and this would only happen if the climate were wetter than at\npresent. Thus, the intermediate red unit and its Floor 7 accumulated in a wetter climate. Gallus finds the\ndates for such a climate and applies them to the red deposit. Frank disagrees\nwith Gallus’s argument. Slight shifts in the rockfalls or new collapses could\nalter the course of the water from the Plain and prevent it from entering the\nGallus Site. The climate needn’t be wetter. Further, the stream would deposit\nsoil along its own path when insufficient flow prevented it from running all\nthe way. This would impede its next flow and sometimes cause it to change\nThe second method Gallus employs to\ndate Floor 7 equates the stage\nof development of the stone tools with other finds at the same developmental\nstage, notably from his site at Keilor. The majority of Australian\nwhen Gallus wrote and now¾would dismiss this comparison as too subjective. They\nwouldn’t agree on his classification for the types of tools he found in\nalone entertain a connection between them.\nThe conflict over datings leads to\ntheir analyses of artifact finds.\nWright only considers flakes and\nflaked pieces of flint. A person knocks a “flake” from a stone, which then\nbecomes a “flaked piece.” Both must show, Wright says, particular marks that\nlook like the skin layers of a bulb¾called a “bulb of percussion,” either sticking out of\nthe stone or curving into it¾because these indicate an intentional hitting with a\nhammer of some sort and hence a human origin. Anything else Wright considers\nnatural or waste from flaking and mining and he wants only to consider definite\nhuman artifacts. He discusses why he employs signs of a bulb of percussion as a\ncriterion. Flint occurs naturally\nin the Cave, he says, and could mix with mined or shaped pieces. It even occurs\nabove the excavation. When in the Cave, a member of his expedition climbed a\nladder and examined the flint nodules in the wall six meters above the\nexcavation, pulling out lumps and slivers or flint with the same silhouette as\nflakes and flaked pieces. No traces of a positive or negative bulb of\npercussion occur on any of the pieces from the wall. Wright cites two further\nreasons for caution. First, numerous debates around the world focus on how to\nidentify whether a piece of stone originates naturally or from humans. Second,\nsome archaeologists in the early part of the twentieth century incorrectly\nmatched amorphous waste found in European flint mines with flaked tools from\nWright’s flake-flaked piece\ncriterion removes from consideration all the flints he found in the bottom\nTwo further criteria supplement\nthis restriction. Wright won’t consider finds from the red deposit because, to\nhis mind, the flints in it probably washed in from other places like the\nsurface of the Plain. He also discounts pieces of flint with dimensions less\nthan 1.5 centimeters because\nthey aren’t obvious and could pass through the sieve he used to screen what he\nThe criteria of Wright restrict\nhis analysis to the flints he found in the top white deposit. Only two of these\nartifacts possess a strong enough character for him to call them implements.\nEach he interprets as a pick with an end trimmed off for a comfortable\nhandhold. Hitting flint nodules while digging in the rubble shattered the other\nend of each pick. He concludes that prehistoric people used the Cave to produce\npieces of flint that they carried elsewhere to refine for use. The waste\ndoesn’t say anything about the stone tools they would eventually create. Rock\nshelters in the vicinity would contain the more conventional archaeological\ndebris from the users of Koonalda. The Cave for Wright offers only a glimpse at\none aspect of prehistoric people’s lives, their flint mining. The motivation of\npeople who seek their flint in such dark and hazardous passageways, he adds,\ndisturbs him; the flints assume significance beyond the merely practical that,\nas common archaeological materials, they often receive.\nGallus, on the other hand, isolates a\npredominantly flake stone-tool tradition from the artifacts he recovered from\nhis portion of the upper white deposit of Trench III. Wright restricts his\nartifact analysis to the same deposit. The large number of used implements not\nemployed in making stone tools¾the majority for working wood and some for cutting\nto Gallus that domestic activity or settlement occurred.\nin the intermediate red zone provides for Gallus another stone-tool tradition.\nHe finds here refuse from stone tool workshops, splinters, rejects, and\nabandoned or half-made blanks. It also contains used tools and some broken by\nuse. This stone-tool tradition moves in Gallus’s mind toward implement\nspecialization because it uses wood in a significant and new way: the stone\ntools include whittling knives, chisel-like burins for incising, axes for\nchopping, tools for cutting or sawing, scrapers, and implements for hollowing\nout. He considers this stone-tool tradition less crude than the higher (more\nrecent), more firmly established, and less specialized one he unearthed in the\nupper white deposit of Trench III.\nEvidence from the Cave suggests to\nGallus that mining, workshop (producing stone implements), and domestic (such\nas woodworking) activities occurred. He found no kitchen fires or remnants of\nmeals inside the Cave. The few fireplaces he unearthed are shallow and the\npieces of charcoal probably the remains of torches for illumination. What he\nfound on the Plain around the Cave and in the sinkhole do suggest to him the\nstationary presence of groups of people and that they did other things there\nthan they did inside the Cave.\nEvidence for flint quarrying exists\nnot only in the Gallus Site, but also at the “squeeze.” Wright relates this to\nthe marking of lines on the walls. For the age of the mining, he refers to the\ncarbon-14 date of 19,900\nyears as the most recent use of the area, assuming that the dated charcoal\noriginates from torches. This date coincides with the activity in the Gallus\nSite. He collected around the “squeeze” 16\nflakes and a flaked piece of flint with the charcoal.\nGallus’s excavations in front of the “squeeze” also\nreveal evidence for mining. The quarrying happened in two phases. The more\nrecent stage dug flint from the walls and the older dug it from the fallen\nrock. Gallus correlates the first with pieces of wood found seven to 15 centimeters down from the surface and\nwhich date at 21,200 years old. The second stage\nhe correlates with a tradition more primitive than the one on Floor 7, Trench III, of the Gallus Site. He draws\nother conclusions as well. Engraved lines point down to the opening of mining\npits and others follow the diggings horizontally¾thus Gallus believes the\nwall markings link to the mining activity near the “squeeze.” He found an\nartifact connected with the mining. Near the “squeeze” and on the surface of a\nslanting rock between other rocks, which a rockfall had covered, he discovered\na large pickaxe. This pickaxe, Gallus writes, predates its development\nelsewhere in the world.\nThis and his other finds in Koonalda\nlead him to say that the products of civilization spread from Australia\nin the opposite direction to what scholars usually think. We must think of Australia,\nGallus suggests, as an important center for human cultural and biological\nWright says that, apart from the wall\nfunctioned as nothing more than a flint mine. Derek Mulvaney of the AustralianNationalUniversity\nin Canberra upholds this\nconclusion. Australians practiced a developed technology 25,000-30,000\nyears ago and therefore, he concludes, Gallus’s “primitive” finds can’t be\ntools but must be waste from stone workshops. Gallus bases his conclusions on\nempathy not science. Wright and Mulvaney wouldn’t consider most of Gallus’s\nimplements as implements, or even humanly made, because they lack a positive or\nnegative bulb of percussion.The\nmajority of Australian archaeologists either ignores Gallus’s work or\napproaches it with skepticism and contrariness.\nA highlight of the Gallus-Wright\ndisagreement centers on the supposed cultural tradition that Gallus found on\nFloor 7. This floor lies in\nthe red zone, a deposit Wright disregards because a stream could have washed\nthe flints into it from the surface or from elsewhere in the Cave. Frank\nconcludes from his examination that the stream didn’t flow on through and that\nrockfalls blocked and ponded it at about Trench III. This lake measured about 15 meters across and started a meter or two\ntoward the Cave entrance from Trench III. Wright would say that people don’t\nsit in lakes to fashion tools.\nTwo other points by Frank throw light\non the Gallus-Wright disagreement, at least for Floor 7. First, the pond intermittently dried up. Gallus\ncould thus say that people sat on a dried up and flat red floor and fashioned\ntools; we needn’t think of them sitting in a lake. Second, Frank points out,\nthe stream eroded some of the deposited material as it flowed back into the\npond area. Gallus might respond that perhaps the stream didn’t erode that part\nof the red floor at the time of Floor 7\nand so he found the artifacts he describes more or less where their prehistoric\nusers left them, with sediment gently covering them. Alternatively, perhaps\nthey washed only a short distance. Gallus doesn’t describe any water-rolling\nsigns on the finds on Floor 7\nand he usually does if he sees any. The fact that this large number of finds\nclusters around two large nuclei (blocks from which flakes were struck) may\ncount for their lying more-or-less where their makers left them.\nWright selectively recovered only 14 flakes from the red zone, only three of\nwhich showed further (but uninformative) working. He doesn’t say how many\nflaked pieces he found. In comparison, Gallus’s plan of Floor 7¾a small portion of the red zone¾shows 64 numbered artifacts, 40 of which he discusses as tools and nuclei.\nWhy this difference between Wright and Gallus? The diagrams of the two\narchaeologists suggest that Gallus dug about 15\npercent more of the red zone than did Wright and less than half its depth.\nGallus excavated over three times the horizontal area than Wright.\nAlternatively, perhaps Gallus struck it rich in the red deposit with a workshop\nor occupation area. Perhaps Wright found a mining area while Gallus unearthed a\nworkshop; perhaps the prehistoric people sat and whittled wood a little away\nfrom the walls and large boulders (the wall and large boulders were close to\nand hampered Wright’s lower levels). The same applies to Wright’s finding\nnothing of cultural interest in the top white. Perhaps luck evaded him.\nAlternatively, perhaps mining dominated in the area of his dig, and tool making\nand woodworking in Gallus’s.\nIf the tools are as crude as Gallus\nsays, then maybe they are cruder than anything found and recognized in Australia\nwhen Wright wrote. Wright maybe overlooked most of the few tools among the\nmining remains because of his strict and systematic methods, and because of the\ncrudeness and newness of the finds for Australia.\nThe difference could reflect the tool recognizing abilities of the two men.\nGallus responds to the assumption of\narchaeologists like Wright about what constitutes a human stone implement. He\ndescribes the way that hammering, shattering, or breaking, and not flaking\nsplit the rough and quadrangular blocks of flint in Koonalda. The brittle\nglass-like nature of the flint makes it hard to flake. To shape it, therefore,\npeople would break it along its natural splitting planes in a controlled and\nefficient manner. This doesn’t produce the bulb of percussion or the ripples\nthat Wright looked for. Gallus found neat heaps of intact material on the\nfloor, which people had picked through for suitable flakes and broken pieces\nwith sharp edges. They could use these immediately or as blanks to fashion\ntools from later. He mentions three other corroborations for his position.\nFirst, J. Peter White saw people in New Guinea\nbreak flints in a way that left no signs of bulbs of percussion and which they\nstill used as implements. Second, two observers of Australian Aborigines\nnoticed that they used any piece of suitable stone without further treatment if\nit had a suitable working edge. Third, archaeologists typify the old industries\nin Australia as\nworking-edge oriented rather than shape-of-implement oriented. These references\nindicate to Gallus that the edge of a (potential) tool should concern him and\nthat he may observe traces of use on formless pieces. He believes that this\napproach, rather than Wright’s search for evidence of flaking, will correctly\nidentify human stone tools. Wright reports that a microscopic examination of a\nsample of his flakes showed no signs of abrasive wear. This suggests that\npeople hadn’t used the pieces of flint that he found. Some of Gallus’s finds do\nshow microscopic evidence of wear. This suggests that people had used some of\nthe pieces of flint he found.\nGallus names his stone finds with\nEuropean terms, terms that summon particular stone shapes to the minds of\narchaeologists. He doesn’t mean that the same people made the European and\nKoonalda implements. He merely exploits, he says, the similarities in\nappearance of the two collections of tools as a basis to name the Australian\nfinds. Wright fails to see the European shapes in the material he excavated. He\nalso fails to see the shapes in the finds he saw of Gallus:\nThis disagreement is not based on a\nchauvinistic preference for Australian terminology, nor is it based on an alarm\nat the diffusionist implications inherent in a European terminology applied to\nAustralian artifacts. In fact[,] I would intellectually welcome the excitement\nof finding in Australia a site [that] contained the variety and number of types\nhe mentions….What I do find discordant is the lack of coincidence between the\nactual material from Koonalda and the . . .industries of Western Europe.\nTo accept this terminology criticism\ndoesn’t mean, though, that Wright and others should disregard Gallus’s work.\nGallus’s collection of implements from the upper white deposit resembles the\nwell accepted “small tool tradition” found in Australia\nfrom about the same time. Gallus’s finds on Floor 7 from a level lower down resembles the older and\nwell-accepted “core-tool and scraper tradition,” which appears in an evolved\nform in the later small-tool tradition. Gallus enriches the understanding of\nthese traditions with his analyses of the different types and uses of the tools\nArchaeological investigations suggest\nnothing of distinction about the prehistoric users of KoonaldaCave.\nA few excavated caves on the\nNullarbor besides Koonalda show signs of human occupation. Ljubomir H. Marun\nand Peter Thompson examined MaduraCave\non the Roe Plain portion of the Nullarbor Region. Human occupation of that site\nbegan about 8,000 years ago and lasted about 4,000\nyears. Marun also excavated Cave N145\nwith an earliest occupation date of 24,000-25,000\nyears ago. He concludes from these sites and from his archaeological study of\nthe Nullarbor in general that, over the last 25,000\nyears, the environment changed in the Roe Plain and, as the unearthed\nimplements indicate, so did the technology. The technology changes are, he\nconcludes, discrete, local, and fail to fit a recognizable pattern for the\nExcavations reveal the remains of\nthings other than human activities. Alan Thorne accompanied Wright to Koonalda\nand describes the animal remains that Wright’s excavation unearthed. The meager\nfinds occurred only in the red deposit. They include bones of lizards, a couple\nof rodents, and of four types of marsupials including a Sarcophilus cranium. (The Sarcophilus or Tasmanian Devil, a\ncarnivore like a wolf or hyena, has disappeared from the Australian mainland¾perhaps\nhuman beings or of the Devil’s competitor, the dingo, helped in its extinction.\nThe same holds for the thylacine¾the Tasmanian Tiger or Wolf¾the remains of a number of\nwhich explorers have found in Nullarbor caves.) Five sources explain the\npresence of animal remains in the Koonalda excavations. The bones could have\narrived here in owl pellets. Owls eat small animals and then regurgitate the\nbeaks, and so on¾as\npellets. The sides of the doline outside the Cave contain numerous owl roosts\nunder which lie heaps of disintegrated pellets, and inside the Cave further\nback from Trench III of the Gallus Site lie similar heaps. The bones could also\nhave arrived here as the food remains of predators such as the Sarcophilus. A Sarcophilus broke some of the\nlarger bones, in Thorne’s opinion. The bones could have arrived here, as a\nthird source, as the remains of animals that lived in the Cave, or, fourthly,\nof animals that lost their way in it and died there. Perhaps some washed in\nfrom the doline or from the surface of the Plain.Nothing¾no signs of use on the\nbones and no burning¾indicates\nthat the animal remains relate to the presence of people in the Cave.\nThe surface of Gallus’s excavation\nproduced a few large bones that dingoes possibly brought in, plus bird\nskeletons and decaying owl pellets with their hoards of small bones. Wallaby\nbones, which could represent the remains of a human meal, rested just above a\nlevel that dates at 13,700 years. Marsupial\nrat bones and the mummified remains of a honeyeater also rested at about this\nlevel. Gallus uncovered bones of small animals, again probably from owl\npellets, down further among the bands of the red zone. Much of the faunal\nremains from his excavations still await examination.\nAnimal remains exist not only in the\nGallus Site, but also in the upper chamber. I found a number. These include the\nvestiges of owls, crows, bats, and insects¾which found their way\nthere by themselves¾plus\nseveral bones from large marsupials that humans probably brought in. The\nmarsupial remains haven’t been identified.\ninvestigations of Koonalda ceased with our departure and are unlikely to\nre-open. This also applies to investigations of the line markings. Attempts to\nunderstand them further must rely on research in other caves.\nwords13 June 2003\nTHE RITUAL ART OF KOONALDA\nRitual is the ordered arrangement of\nsymbols and symbolic actions all of which express [the human] urge to conceive\nin outward forms the “shades,” the inner life and meaning, the permanent\nelement, in [human beings] and the world and [their] relations to it¾mundane thought these often are. Here, then, is art.\nP. Elkin, R. M. Berndt, and C. H. Berndt, 1950.\nThe Koonalda people mined flint in the Cave. Why? Why did\nthey risk their lives on vertical climbs in darkness to obtain it?\nJohn Eyre saw white flint lying abundantly on the ground at Kaldiyerra\nnear Eucla. A site close by on the South and Western Australian border readily\nprovides a black flint, like that in Koonalda, called jee ‘mari. Aborigines prized both colors and traded them widely.\nPerhaps the Koonalda people could\nhave obtained both black and white flints without entering the Cave. The\nproblem remains: why did the Koonalda people venture into the Cave to mine\nEnvironmental factors add to the\npuzzle. Rudy Frank compares the red deposit from excavations in KoonaldaCave and present day soils on the\nsurface. He finds them much the same in texture and mineral composition, and\nconcludes that the Nullarbor climate has stayed more or less the same over tens\nof thousands of years. David Lowry and Jo Jennings review this and other ways\nfor finding out about the Nullarbor climate of the past. They decide that,\nthough the methods draw on a variety of different factors, overall they point\nin the same direction. Water availability and rainfall on the Nullarbor have\nchanged over the last million years, but the changes from present conditions\nare always minor in either direction and for short periods.The current climate and environment of the\nNullarbor remains as it was tens of thousands of years ago.\nLife on the Nullarbor that long ago\ntherefore differed little from that of the Mirning. Early\nrecords indicate that Aborigines rarely ventured beyond the edges of the\ncoastal belt, let alone into the heart of the Plain. The only part of the\nNullarbor Region that can sustain human life is the wooded coast. The Nullarbor\ninhabitants of 20,000 years ago lived in the\ncoastal life-supporting environment and, if\ntheir attitudes to the Plain were like the Mirning’s, they rarely ventured inland.\nToday, Koonalda lies 23 kilometers from the ocean, between the Nullarbor\nproper and the wooded strip. Twenty thousand years ago, Koonalda lay 190 kilometers from the ocean. It sat in the\nheart of the Nullarbor. Two facts explain this. First, the present ocean in the\nGreat Australian Bight descends about 46 meters close in shore. The seabed is a\nsubmerged plain that stretches southwards at a slight slope that adds another 36 meters in depth before it drops away at\nthe continental shelf 160\nkilometers south of the present coast. A lowering of the sea level by 82 meters or more would therefore expose the 160 kilometers of this plain. Further, the\nearth periodically undergoes glacial periods called ice ages (the last one\nfinished around 16,000 years ago),\ninterspersed with warm interglacials such as the one in effect at present. An\nice age locks up much of the earth’s water in ice sheets on the northern and\nsouthern extremities of the globe and on the higher mountain regions. This\nlowers the sea level. The low point for the sea during the last glaciation was\nabout 90 meters below the\npresent level. Around 20,000 years ago,\ntherefore, the 160\nkilometers of now-submerged coastal plain was dry land.\nThis would move the coastal belt\nsouth by the same 160\nkilometers. Studies on the pollen grains in various levels of a number of sites,\njust above the coastal Roe Plain, confirm the movement of the belt with\nalterations in the sea level. The sea changes over time parallel the changes in\nthe pollen ratios of coastal to inland species. (This negates the suggestion that\nthe coast 160 kilometers\nsouth lay in a wetter latitude and thus created a wide coastal belt with a\nricher environment for human inhabitants.)\nThe relocation of the oasis would\nalso relocate its Aboriginal inhabitants. While Koonalda sat on the back door\nof the Mirning, the\nearlier people traveled some 160\nkilometers from their habitation to it.\nThe sea started to rise around 16,000\nyears ago and reached the base of the present cliffs between 13,000\nyears ago. The rise in the sea claimed land¾at a rate of one meter per\nweek over the millennium 14,000 to 13,000\nyears ago. The advance of the sea would affect the amount of coastal belt\ncapable of sustaining human life and, therefore, tribal territoriality. It\ncould have affected the people in a major way¾they may have died out.\nThis may explain why the Aborigines deserted the upper chamber of KoonaldaCave about this time. Did they\ndecease with their coastal life-support and,\nafter a while, a new group of people, the Mirning moved in?\nPerhaps Aborigines frequented KoonaldaCave because it provided the only\nor the most abundant source of flint during the lower sea level. Perhaps then\nflint wasn’t available anywhere else. Sand dunes may have prevented their\naccess to the flint nodules in the cliffs¾thick dunes now cover some\nsections of the present ones. This may explain why quarrying at Koonalda\ncontinued to around 13,000 years ago, the\ntime when the sea began to abrade the coastal cliffs and perhaps remove the\nsand to expose the flint. On the other hand, sand may not have covered the\ncliffs during the time of the Koonalda people; it doesn’t cover the present\ncliffs north of the Roe Plain and they contain flint. If this were true, we\nneed another reason than access to flint for their Aborigines’ entering\nPerhaps they frequented KoonaldaCave because they thought of the\nCave and its flint as special and powerful. The Cave’s mid-Nullarbor\ninaccessibility plus their needing to venture into a dark, mysterious, and\ndangerous place to obtain the flint support\nthis idea. So do other factors. For one, the giant snake Ganba dwells in the Nullarbor\ncaves. Local Aborigines also believed that they must pass through the caves\nafter death on their way to the sea and the Koorannup (after-life hunting groups). The spirits of the\ndead, the Kaanya, must\nenter the sea from the caves. Aborigines, therefore, felt the holiness of every\nhole in the Nullarbor, including KoonaldaCave. Its flint perhaps absorbed\nthis spiritual presence and they imbued it with qualities absent in stone they\ncould acquire more easily.\nAt the back of the upper chamber of\nthe Cave, covering large expanses of the soft, chalky, limestone walls scrawl\nmasses of marks, stroked into the receptive medium by human fingertips or\nscratched with sticks or stones. The lines comprise one of the oldest examples\nof Aboriginal expression in Australia.\nThe stroking begins from high up with outstretched fingers that draw together\nas the hands descend. The effect, covering the buttress-like undulations of the\nCave walls and extending overhead out of present reach, resembles the fan\nvaulting of the decorated Gothic style. Why did people create these lines in\nthe back of the upper chamber of KoonaldaCave, far from daylight and the\nsurface of the Nullarbor Plain? What did they intend by\nThis activity, like their flint\nmining, probably connects with their ritual and religion.\nLesley Maynard and Robert Edwards\nnote that the shape of the upper chamber (or “art passage,” as some people\nrefer to it) changed since the visits of the wall markers. They could easily\naccess the soft limestone that they impressed with their fingers, from before\nthe “directional stele” to the “squeeze.” Now, 15\nmeters of rocks pile up and rest against the decorated surfaces. Only the wall\nnear the “squeeze” is available.\nEdwards and Maynard think that the\nmarkings may relate to the ritual mining in the Cave. They concede, though,\nthat the lines may only represent a response to the softness of the walls.\nChildren respond similarly to finger paint. Because the markings appear\nrandomly distributed and void of any preconceived visual impression, Edwards\nand Maynard think they probably don’t represent an art form. (A few of the\nfinger lines form simple patterns, though perhaps unintentionally by the\nartists. Open fingers inscribed two curved sets of parallel lines in two\nmovements of the hand and created a design that looks like a concentric circle,\na frequent symbol in Aboriginal art.) Edwards and Maynard suggest that Koonalda\nstands for a transitional phase in artistic development from “non-art” to art.\nJenny Webb writes of the finger\nmarkings as ritual touching or stroking of the walls. She feels that the Cave\nheld great spiritual presence and power, and that only important tribal members\npossessed a power of their own sufficient to withstand and benefit from that of\nthe Cave. Its power transferred to these people when they stroked the walls. It\nthen passed to lesser tribal members outside the Cave. The physical contact\nwith the walls held more importance to the wall markers than the markings that\nThe anthropologist A. P. Elkin would\nagree with an element of Webb’s interpretation. Aborigines impressed on him the\nmeaningfulness of every mark they create. The wall markings don’t result from\nprehistoric impulse. The drawing of fingers over walls or the rubbing of flint\nalong grooves represent ends in themselves and obtain their meaning from\nrituals. Elkin’s experience suggests that all Aboriginal rubbings, drawings,\nand re-tracings present ritual acts.\nRituals, therefore, formed the\ncontext in which people created the Koonalda lines. They made the lines\nAncient finger scrawls occur not only\nin Koonalda or Australia,\nbut also in Europe. AltamiraCave in Spain\ncontains such marks made in wet clay. Siegfried Giedion describes the markings\nas short and linear signs, close together, covering the ceiling, and rendered\nby quick, unhesitating strokes of the hand. Today’s visitors can discern the\npressure of the fingertips at the start of the lines and the fingernail marks\nat the end of each stroke. Henri Breuil, a father of the study of prehistoric\nart, coined the name “macaroni” for these finger scrawls¾an obvious nomenclature\ngiven their appearance. Other people call them “serpentine meanders” for a\nA slight shift in direction carries\ndiscussion from marks by bare hands to impressions of the whole hand. The hand\nmotif commonly occurs in Australian rock art. Aborigines apply pigment or blood\ndirectly to the hand and press it onto the rock face. They chew pigment and\nsplatter it or blow it around a hand held against the rock. They draw hand\noutlines and then fill them in with a brush. The effect, from a European’s\npoint of view, signifies a hand raised in greeting.\nInterpretations of hand\nstencils include: representations of betrothal contracts, calling cards,\npastimes, games, and parts of stories. W. W. Thorpe suggests that, as the hand\nis peculiar to the human being and relates to work and worship, it should symbolize\nhumanity. R. Verbrugge stresses the importance of gleaning as much information\nas possible from examining the hand stencils and how the artists created them.\nFor example, we may discern, he says, if a left hand stencil was made from the\nright hand of the artist with palm facing outwards. Close examination of the\nstencils may uncover some of their meaning, but not all of it. Perhaps the\nartist provides the only way to obtain the true meaning of a hand stencil.\nElkin writes that he couldn’t find out the Aboriginal meaning of the stenciled\nhands found in some of the Wondjina\ngalleries. Another anthropologist relates that Aborigines shook their heads in\na mysterious manner and refused to explain, or expressed their ignorance as to\nthe presence of the hands. Few anthropologists asked the artists. The origin\nand meaning of many hand representations may date from well before the arrival\nof Europeans to Australia\nanyway and, therefore, are now lost. The existence of a heavy, glazed surface\nfilm over many of them supports their\nantiquity. Aborigines often say that the hand marks were created in the\nHand impressions occur in eight\ncaves in the Nullarbor Region, including the MurrawijinnieCaves or The Caves of the Bloody\nHands, near the Nullarbor Station. The artists may have dipped their hands in\nkangaroo blood and impressed them on limestone first smeared with red ochre. If\nso, a chemical reaction between the blood and the ochre would create the white\nprints now visible. J. Maitland Thomson asked Jimmy Scott, an Aborigine of the\nNullarbor Station, how artists created the handprints. No one had made them,\nScott replied, within the memory of living Aborigines.\nHandprints and stencils appear in\nEuropean caves especially in the Aurignacian period, a culture whose name\nderives from the cave in Aurignac, southern France,\nwhere in 1860\narchaeologists first discovered its remnants. The prints represent one of the\nfirst uses of color in art, the beginning of painting. The handprints sometimes\nmass together and overlap and, according to Giedion, artists created a panel in\nseveral sessions. The techniques appear similar to those of the Australian\nLines and handprints belong to the\nearly period of art in Europe. These forms also\nconstitute the only Aboriginal art seen on the Nullarbor.\nThe early Koonalda visitors created\nfinger lines on the walls of the upper chamber. In addition, near the entrance\nto the “squeeze,” they expressed themselves in lines they incised on the walls\nwith a stick or a piece of flint. Incised lines stand out separately on bare\nareas of wall and contrast with the masses of finger scrawls. The incisions\nsuggest orderliness, perhaps even symbols. Nine horizontal lines crossed by\nfive shorter vertical lines form a grid of near-parallel lines. An ellipse or\nfish shape stands out among the grid’s lines and the grid resembles the\ntectiforms or latticed signs of Paleolithic art in Europe.\nContemporary Aboriginal bark painting also employs lattice extensively as\ndecorative fill. Perhaps the most striking symbol near the “squeeze” is a set\nof large and curved parallel lines in a rainbow shape. It arches beneath an\noverhang and runs to nearly a meter in length.\nThe human marks on boulders that Christine\nKortlang and I discovered on our first visit to Koonalda could form a third\nclass of line markings in the Cave. The marks range from two simple lines that\nrun parallel down a rock face, to meshes of lines as tangled as the wrinkles on\nan old face. Two features stand out: first, the careful, intentional quality of\nthe marks, and, second, the vast number of them.\nKortlang intended to draw some of the\nboulder engravings in detail and, in the process, to find something out about\ntheir structure. Alexander Marshack describes\nEuropean engravings that form “streams”¾groups of almost parallel\nlines with the same cross-sections. The streams sometimes overlap and, when\nthey do, Marshack can differentiate between them because each set exhibits its\nown cross-section. He wanted to know if this also happens in Australia.\nKortlang first selected a couple of clear-looking collections of engravings on\nboulders near the nicknamed “elephant head” rock. She illuminated the area with\na gas lamp and looked at the intersections of the lines with a magnifying\nglass, trying to work out the order in which the line maker(s) laid down the\nlines. She then recorded the information on paper with a sequence of coloured\npencils to represent the overlays. Some of the intersections lacked clarity and\nnot all lines crossed over each other, making it difficult for her to\nLines incised with different\nflakes or slivers of the glass-like flint so bountiful in certain sections of\ndifferent cross-sections. Lines with different cross-sections would indicate\nthat the engraver(s) intended something different by them, or that different\nengravers created the lines, or that engraving happened at different times.\nKortlang, therefore, looked at the cross-sections of the lines. She held a\ncandle in front of the magnifying glass and, moving the candle from side to\nside over an engraving, looked inside it to see its shape: a U, a V, a deep U,\nor a flat U. This she recorded on the drawing as well as in her notes.\nEach line in a stream showed the same\ncross-section and the cross-sections change between streams. Marshack’s\nEuropean examples demonstrate the same structure. It implies to him that\nengraving occurred in participatory ritual where different people with\ndifferent instruments marked the rock surface with specific intentions in mind.\nKortlang also found that, in general, fine engravings override coarser ones and\nthat the streams comprise four lines or, if not four, three. The direction of a\nline often imitates a natural form like a crack in the rock.\nKortlang found it painstaking and\nslow to decipher the cross-sections and overlays accurately, to write down the\ninformation, and to draw it. She could only study a few streams. I faced\nsimilar difficulties with my photography. I had to set up a tripod on boulders\nand maneuver it and myself into a suitable position in front of the markings.\nLighting caused the most headaches. I had to position floodlights so they threw\na certain amount of shade into the lines: too much light or not enough of an\nangle and the lines disappeared from view.\nIan Lewis and Kevin Mott knew how to\nfill a cavern as large as Koonalda with light: a Diprotodon (a large magnesium\nflare named after the largest-ever marsupial) lit the whole chamber for a few\nseconds with dazzling white light, providing a chance to film its entirety.\nA couple of non-photographic\nquestions intrigued me. Three kinds of boulders sit in the upper chamber: those\nwith rough surfaces, those with smooth and rounded surfaces, and those with\nsmooth and undulating surfaces. Why do the boulders show different degrees of\nsmoothness? Further, no line markings exist on the rough and jagged rocks, and\nvirtually none on the smooth and undulating ones. Almost all the boulder lines\noccur on the smooth and rounded stones, despite engravable surfaces on the\nsmooth and undulating ones. Why?\nI thought about this and I\ninvestigated. Perhaps the floor of the upper chamber comprises rockfalls of\nquite different ages. If so, engraved smooth and rounded boulders may sit\nunderneath the present rough and jagged boulders¾perhaps also under the\nsmooth and undulating ones. Neil Chadwick and I crawled through gaps under\nthese two rockfalls to find out. Maynard and Edwards had previously crawled\nunder 15 meters of rockfall\nto find wall markings executed before the collapse of the roof to form the\nrough and jagged boulders. Under both this recent rockfall and the smooth and\nundulating rocks, Chadwick and I found engraved boulders. This contradicted the\nidea that water flowing over the rocks smoothed and rounded them; others had\ntold me this and it appeared gospel. My reasoning went like this. Engravings\nexist on the smooth and rounded boulders underneath the smooth and undulating\nones. Chadwick and I found it difficult to climb under the present surface\n(among other things, we removed rocks to gain access), which meant that the\nengravers (human or animal) probably didn’t climb under the floor to engrave.\nRather, a rock collapse buried the engravings. The surface collapse then\nweathered to become smooth and undulating¾but the weathering\nprocess, if by water flow, would erase the line markings. The existence of the\nmarkings, therefore, means that water didn’t smooth the smooth and undulating\nboulders. Other problems faced water flow as the smoothing and rounding\nmechanism: for instance, water would have to flow up hill (from the squeeze to\nthe “ramparts”) under pressure and then through a now collapsed channel in the\ndome above the Gallus Site. I can’t see where it could run from there.\nWater flow didn’t smooth and round\nthe boulders. Another mechanism must do this. It must work continuously and\nmust smooth and round originally rough and jagged boulders via a smooth and\nOnly one mechanism that I know of,\nsalt weathering, fits the requirements. Water dissolves certain salts to form a\nsolution that moves through the porous limestone and evaporates within a few\nmillimeters of the surface. The salts in the solution precipitate as crystals\nwhen the water disappears and the growth of the crystals applies pressure on\nthe rock surface, forcing off grains from it. Specialists already believe that\nthis mechanism causes small-scale breakdown in Nullarbor caves. A ten-meter\npile of dust in MullamullangCave,\ncalled the Dune, evidences to it there. Volumes of limestone dust (also known\nas “rock meal” and “rock flour”) in Koonalda suggest this process also occurs\nhere. Of course, investigators must still find out for sure if the conditions\nnecessary for salt weathering occur with the boulders in the upper chamber of KoonaldaCave. They appear to.\nSalt weathering changes a rough and\njagged surface into smooth and undulating, and later smooth and rounded. This\nsuggests that the rough and jagged rocks fell the most recently, the\n(nonengraved) smooth and undulating rocks fell at an intermediate time, and\nthat the (engraved) smooth and rounded rocks fell the longest time ago.\nI spent some time posing and\nanswering the questions about rockfalls and a smoothing-rounding process. Even\nto perceive the questions required that I spend an extended period in the upper\nchamber. The same applies to seeing that prehistoric people performed rituals\nin the Cave. A fleeting visitor notices little.\nThe Gallus Site shows that people\nmined for flint and, at the same place, set up sculptures. The upper chamber\nshows that people engraved lines and, at the same place, cleared floors of\nrubble. They cleared them for specific purposes. Smooth boulders, whose inner\nsurfaces usually show engravings, define the edges of the ritual floors or\nactivity areas. Stones pile up against some human line engravings. Pieces of\nwood, charcoal, and bone also occur within the activity areas. KoonaldaCave is important not only for its\nart and excavational finds, but also because it was a center for ritual.\nLarge torch stubs still sit atop the\nboulders from where they illuminated the scene, and small pieces of wood litter\nextensive portions of the upper chamber, probably the remains of torches of twigs\nlashed together and soaked in fat. Attempts to analyze the wood from the\nremnants proved fruitless because fungus has seriously damaged them. The wood\nfor the larger torches probably derived from the mallee tree, both roots and\nbranches, whose burning and lighting properties early European explorers knew\nI found the skull of a kangaroo,\nwithout its mandible, among the bones on one activity area. It sat on a rock\nnot far off the floor.\nChadwick later discovered a small\nflake of flint on the same activity area, perhaps an engraving tool. No flint\nnodules naturally occur in this section of the Cave.\nAnother activity area centers on a\n“cache” inside of which sit several vertebrae and plaques marked with lines.\nPerhaps the Koonalda people engraved the plaques and placed them in the cache,\ncovered them with layers of pebbles and dust, deposited enfleshed vertebrae on\ntop, and finally covered the cache with a flat stone. The floor around the\ncache is flat and centers on a large, engraved, smooth, and rounded boulder.\nPerhaps the Koonalda people constructed the floor this way.\nPerhaps important members of the\ntribe climbed into the Cave, lit their mallee root torches as the entrance\nlight faded, and descended the slope. They walked past the mining trenches and\nstele and up to the upper chamber. With them, they brought animal parts to\nplace ritually in a particular spot. They sat in a close group inside a stone\ncircle, and chanted, recited myth stories, and added their special marks to\nthose already on the boulders and walls. The Cave and those who had entered\nbefore them strengthened them through the ritual.\nKoonalda witnessed a modern day\nritual. My birthday fell at the end of our visit and a cake hid in the\nprovisions for the occasion. Mott’s and Lewis’s birthdays also fell at this\ntime. We invited Cyril Gurney to the party. Six people sat around a birthday\ncake and a fireplace of stones, 30\nmeters down a hole in the Nullarbor Plain. Bats swished\npast our ears and stars thickened the canopy as we sang “Happy Birthday to\nModern visitors also construct\nmeanings from Nullarbor rocks. Formations of limestone still fire imaginations.\nA. G. Bolam relates that limestone nodules\nexit all over the Nullarbor, some assuming curious shapes that resemble animals\nand other things. A railway construction gang found two such nodules attached\nto each other, the smaller on the larger. To them it resembled a head¾face\na torso, and they named it Billy Hughes.\nThe Nullarbor offers a small number\nof Aboriginal standing stones and stone arrangements, some associated with\ncaves. Aborigines believed that spirits live inside them. They thought that\nthose shaped like people once were people. Some once were other living beings.\nStanding stones and line markings exist in places in Australia\nother than KoonaldaCave.\nThe OrchestraShellCave near the town of Wanneroo,\nWestern Australia, contains\nfinger lines like Koonalda’s. Sylvia Hallam distinguishes four types on the\nroof of this cave: a stemmed splay of lines, wide-spaced parallel grooves of\nnine lines, short and very deep individual cuts, and, what predominates,\ncurving criss-crossing sets of usually five narrow-spaced parallel lines.\nRobert Bednarik describes several major sites on the boundary of South\nAustralia and Victoria.\nA cave in Buchan, eastern Victoria,\nexhibits the markings too. Similar lines also appear in two caves near\nKatherine in the Northern Territory,\nKintore and Cutta Cutta¾though animals may have created the marks by scratching.\nThe incised lines in both caves occur in soft rock or in now-hardened mud.\nTraced or incised lines exist in\nAustralian caves other than those of the Nullarbor. Do they exist in Nullarbor\ncaves other than Koonalda? A photograph of the handprints in the MurrawijinnieCaves show lines cut through the\nochre; they appear similar to the Koonalda engravings. Wood and charcoal some\ndistance into MullamullangCave\ncould mean that prehistoric people entered it and left line engravings or\nWe set aside a day for visiting WarblaCave to see if it contained\nKoonalda-type markings. Warbla is near Coompana not far from Koonalda and\nenters, like Koonalda, from a large sinkhole 40\nmeters in diameter that opens up suddenly into the Plain. The Cave’s main\npassage extends for 240\nmeters, with a sloping mass of loose rocks as a floor, and a small lake at the\nend, 90 meters below the\nsurface. The mounds of rockfall down the center of the near-horizontal chamber\nsometimes reach to its edges.\nAborigines told the Government\ngeologist Keith Ward of WarblaCave\nand he visited it in 1908,\nthe first White to do so. Thomson arrived next in 1935. He located it differently: a light plane circled\noverhead while a car approached it on the ground.\nThe name Warbla probably derives from\nthe Aboriginal word wardong,\nor crow, though another source suggests it derives from the warbling of birds.\nThousands of crows fly cawing over the sinkhole and weave intricate and\nconstantly changing black patterns against the blue of the sky. The Warbla\ncrows follow a special flight path. They ascend in a spiral climb, often in\nthree circuits before reaching the top, and descend to the narrow opening of\nthe cave in a series of stall turns.\nWhile the rest of us planned our\ndescent into the Warbla doline, Kortlang noticed many flakes of flint lying\nabout. A previous report noted signs of flint workings near the Cave entrance.\nKortlang found so many flakes that obviously someone had chipped or flaked\ntools there. She sat down and began to gather the pieces together. She felt a\nsearing pain. A large bull-ant had bitten her. It reared up waving its front\nlegs and snapping with its mouth. Barrett writes that the Nullarbor bull-ants\nare the Queensland “bull-dogs,”\nthe world’s largest ants. They measure over 32\nmillimeters in length and possess a large and powerful sting that they can use\noften in quick succession. A cut piece of bracken root rubbed on the sting\nquickly relieves the pain.\nLewis abseiled down into the\nsinkhole. He tied his rope to the Landcruiser, lowered himself over the lip of\nthe doline, and eased himself down 45\nmeters or so to the bottom. He looked like a spider on a thread from across the\ntop of the sinkhole.\nThe rest of us took our turn when he had\ndescended, but over a shorter drop and on a caver’s ladder thrown over the\nedge. I went first. The ladder¾15\ncentimeters wide with wire sides and pencil-thin slats of aluminum¾immediately\nbent me in half by bringing my feet and head to the same level. It also twisted\nback on itself so that I faced the opposite direction from what I intended. I\nthen began to rotate slowly round and round, gradually picking up momentum. The\nfloor waited for me 24 meters\nMy feet came to rest on a slope\nof white crumbling limestone containing many fossil shells. I then walked down\nto the bottom of the sinkhole over thick buffalo grass. This looked like a\nsmooth, green field from above but grew as a thick mat over piles of boulders.\nEach of my steps pierced the grass and jarred on the unseen boulders. A rabbit\nThe mouth of WarblaCave is larger than Koonalda’s. As\nI entered, the hot sun cut out abruptly and cool shadow, icy breezes, and the\nfamiliar limey smells replaced it. Piles of guano evidenced the presence of\nbats. The walls of the main chamber near the entrance show fine lines, probably\nanimal scratches. I saw no other markings.\nWe left WarblaCave and drove toward the Eyre\nHighway to return to Koonalda. We disturbed a\ngroup of grazing kangaroos, which bounded off into the sunset. Only a few\nremain from the great numbers that lived on the Plain when Whites first settled\nThe fine lines on the walls of WarblaCave look similar to several\nexamples of fine line markings in Koonalda. We still don’t know how\nsystematically to distinguish animal marks from humanly made lines. If animals\ncreated the Warbla marks, what made the Koonalda lines? Cylcons (the acronym\nfor “cylindro-conical stones”), odd shaped Aboriginal artifacts many of which\nturned up in the basin of the Darling River, also bear marks similar to the\nKoonalda engravings yet we assume that humans created them. Owen Broughton\ndescribes the cylcon lines as most frequently at right angles to the axis of\nthe stone, some going right round the stone. Sometimes the marks run\nlongitudinally, and sometimes the marks aren’t lines but emu tracks or broad\narrow motifs. We know little about the use or significance of the cylcons.\nHypotheses range widely: seed grinders, grave markers, calendar stones, sacred stones\nrepresenting yams, symbols of the death-bone pointer, and instruments for the\ndefloration of virgins.\nCylcons resemble message sticks.\nDaisy Bates relates that Aborigines write letters to each other on many shapes\nand sizes of wood: flat and round, long and short, straight and curved, and\nfrom 25 to 450 millimeters long. The makings on the\nmessage sticks she encountered also vary, from those with a few Koonalda-like\nstrokes or notches, each, she says, representing an individual, to those\ncovered with conventional designs. Some display what she terms cryptic symbols\nwith a meaning known only to the sender and the recipient, while others display\nmarks of a totem sent as friendly greetings between those of the same group.\nIf the markings on message sticks\nheld meanings, did the Koonalda lines too? I already suggested that they may\nrepresent an aesthetic response to the limestone or that people created them in\nritual for the sake of creating them. Many other interpretations appear in the\nliterature: the lines are byproducts of tool sharpening, of gauging out calcium\ncarbonate for medicinal use, or of indicating places to mine flint.\nWe could compare the Koonalda\nmarkings with contemporary abstract painting or sculpture. A successful work of\nart transmits feelings and ideas to the viewer without the help of a\nrepresentational framework or written words. So too might we respond directly\nto the Koonalda lines.\nUnderstandings of the activities of\nprehistoric people often rely on ethnography, the study of living peoples.\nArchaeologists often compare a living area of prehistoric hunter-gatherers with\nthe area of people who live in a similar way and environment today. Ethnography\ncan also help the study of prehistoric art. We can’t say for sure that what a\nsymbol means for a contemporary society is what it meant for another society in\nthe past. We can learn something, however, about the working of art and symbol\nin indigenous societies so that we don’t approach prehistoric art from an\noverly modern or European standpoint.\nSeveral generalizations about art in\nindigenous societies and about the art of the Australian Aborigine can help.\nThe audience of an indigenous artist\nmust more easily “read” the art than we “read” the work of many modern artists.\nIndigenous artists aren’t solitary persons caught up in their own ideas.\nRather, the artist remains in close touch with and shares the values of the\ncommunity so the public can readily understand the art and it convey its\nmessage. A close reciprocal bond exists between artist and community.\nAborigines live on two interrelated\nplanes: one attached to the events of daily existence and centered on family,\nmarriage, and gathering food, and the second the life of ritual, symbolism, and\nfaith. Both of these planes are practical as well as symbolic. Everything that\nhumanity, rocks, and animals¾possesses both spirit and outside form. Art and ritual\nrepresent this whole thing symbolically. They affirm in outward, objective,\nsolid, and living forms the co-existence of the spirit life with and as part of\nthe life of everyday.\nEven designs that to the outsider\nseem purely decorative possess cultural significance. Creating the design ranks\nin importance with the work itself, and a design only reaches completion if its\ncreators sing meaning into it when they fashion it. This meaning isn’t\nsuperficial and readily translated or read, but draws the viewer through\nvarious related meaning systems back to the Dreamtime. Aborigines also read\nnatural objects, stone outcrops, hills, and waterholes in this way. The objects\nmay form part of a Dreamtime hero or ancestor, or mark where such a person\ntraveled. The Aborigine can re-enact happenings from the time of creation by\nwalking these paths.\nAn actor dressed to re-enact a legend\nbecomes that ancestor through body painting, and ceases to be the character\nwhen the design goes. Ground painting and earth figures possess the same\ntransience. Their creation and destruction form part of and often depict the\nritual that the people chant.\nPermanent ritual objects¾engraved\nstones or boards hidden along sacred trails, or rock engravings or paintings¾also\nreveal the dreaming. Selected individuals may only visit them on specified\nMunn studied the symbolism of the Aboriginal Walbiri people. She suggests that a design such as the circle\ncan summarize visually the organization and principles of Walbiri mythology\nand life. A symbol, whether the Walbiri express it verbally,\ngraphically, or in movement during a dance, sets off within a Walbiri person\na chain reaction of associations with aspects of society’s structure. This\nrecalling produces new meanings for the associated ideas.\nNone of these observations about\nAboriginal art may apply to the Koonalda people. They present places to start\nin an attempt to further understand the markings found in KoonaldaCave.\nArchaeologists who write on European\nprehistoric art usually concentrate on the appealing animal paintings. People\nsuch as Breuil and André Leroi-Gourhan try to explain the groupings of engraved\nlines and trailing finger marks by treating them as pictorial representations.\nThe masses of engraved lines become huts, arrows, sorcerers; the finger scrawls\nbecome snakes or phallic forms.\nMarshack carefully examined the marks\non pieces of bone and stone and the nonrepresentational wall engravings. He\nfound that different tools often created the lines on the same piece or\nformation. Would a mass of lines made with different tools represent a single\nentity like a hut? Marshack thinks not. He also believes that different people\nbuilt up some of the line series over time. Each line represents a character or\ncomponent in a story and all the lines seen together may remind the viewer of\nthat particular story. This form of notation is less specific than writing and\nleaves the mind free¾after\ninitial stimulation in the direction that the signs indicate¾to\nbuild, imagine, and form images. We shouldn’t look for shapes in groups of\nlines because each line is important, Marshack suggests.\nThese early marks reveal something of\nthe thought processes of prehistoric people.\nWe may speculate about the\nmeaning of lines, look at ethnographic parallels, and comment on what they\nevoke in the contemporary viewer. We ought, though, to base this on as much\ninformation as possible from the structure and formation of the lines. Marshack\noffered me this advice for Koonalda. Bednarik and Francesco d’Errico in France\nhave since then reiterated it.\nLooking at the Koonalda lines\nclosely started with the studies Kortlang carried out in the Cave. Trying to\nrecreate the line markings might help us learn more about their creation and\nthe limitations involved. A structural analysis of the markings might teach us\nmore about the sequence in which their creators laid them down. Perhaps there\nexists a consistency among the sequences.\nKoonaldaCave offers a unique opportunity to\nexplore the relationship between the different human activities carried out in\nit. It has remained relatively undisturbed for so long. Whatever avenues of\ninvestigation we follow, we must ensure the preservation of the markings. They\nare an unequalled part of our human heritage.\nAR02\\C09.doc2442 words13 June 2003\nTO THE GURNEYS\nI remember. . .the\nGurneys of Eucla and Koonalda, fighting with gay courage and unquenchable\nenergy to wrest a living from the parched soil, and welcoming with matchless\ncourtesy all who pass along the east-west road.\nThe Gurneys invited us to tea, Nullarbor outback style, one evening\ntoward the end of our stay.\nI spruced myself up with a plunge into the tank\nof Cave water that the windmill pumped up. I hoped the sheep parasite in the\nwater wouldn’t infest me. The six of us piled into the Landcruiser and the\nstation wagon and took off to the homestead and real food.\nThe Gurneys’ Koonalda home sits in the midst of\nthe Nullarbor, no other buildings for hundreds of kilometers. Roy Gurney bought\nthe ruins of the Eucla settlement for the stone and timber he could salvage\nfrom it before the sand swallowed everything, and used some of the materials to\nenlarge his Koonalda house. It cost him less than transporting the materials\nLow slung, hidden in verandas, the house bespeaks\nthe bits and pieces of its origin. A little fence surrounds it and flowers\nbloom in its garden. Two cages of cockatoos beside it all say, “Hello.” Six\nemus, four wallabies, two dozen goats, and two horses occupy the yard. Fifteen\nShetland ponies, dozens of dead cars, buses, trucks, tires, and sheds occupy\nthe space in front. The creaking and grinding of a half-dozen windmills\nreverberates and the generator hums. Hides hang out to dry.\nThe yard also houses many gadgets knocked up from\nscraps. Ion Idriess describes one as a cross between a centipede and a\ngrasshopper. Gurney compiled his own tractor here from an early vintage\nGraham-Paige car, an earth scoop, and a pair of wheels from a harvester, along\nwith miscellaneous items. In a shed, Idriess discovered a maze of bags,\nharnesses, timber, jars, saddle and bridles, old papers and books, half-filled\ncases, lids, queer-looking machines, carvings, ropes, branding irons, a large\nand ancient Bible picked up somewhere on the Nullarbor, and a 6.75 kilogram lump of the whale-product ambergris.\nAn overlander on the Eyre Highway every so often drives up the double-sided drive\nto buy gas at Gurneys’ hand pumps. It costs half as much again as in Adelaide. The paved highway runs a few kilometers south\nof the Gurneys’ home whereas the dirt road ran a hundred meters away. I\nwondered how their business could survive.\nTwo dozen farmers graze sheep on the saltbush of\nthe Nullarbor. They face dingoes and excessive distances. They face a lack of\nsurface water, good saltbush, and other sheep grasses. They face plagues of\nrats, mice, and rabbits that suddenly appear in droves and then vanish. They\nbuild up a hardy flock in the good years, which withers and dies when the rains\nfail and the plagues arrive.\nGurney decided in 1940 to graze the Koonalda run when he heard about\nand confirmed the existence of water in the Cave. He sent samples of the water\nto Adelaide to test its suitability for stock. A positive\nreply returned. He and his brother Cyril leased 62,160 hectares (240 square miles) around the Cave so they could pump\nwater from it, but only in 1945 could they install their first pump in it. The\nyear 1950 saw\ntheir first fruits: they clipped 40 bales of merino wool, excluding crutchings and\nKoonaldaCave offers the only permanent water supply in the whole of this now 295,260-hectare (1,140 square mile) sheep station. Paddocks on\nMundrabilla Station ranged from 4,000 to over 12,000 hectares in 1936. Koonalda supported 1200 sheep in the good year of 1957, one sheep per square mile. (Arthur Mason, the\nexplorer who lost his camels and trekked back to Eucla with his delirious\ncompanion, wrongly reckoned that the Plains would carry at least 150 sheep to the square mile.) Sheep reared on such\nterrain are known as saltbush mutton and offer a unique flavor.\nWe entered the Koonalda farmhouse by a welcoming\ncockatoo, filed down a dark hallway, and entered the large kitchen. Cyril\nGurneys’ daughter stood there, scooping fresh milk out of a basin into smaller\ncontainers. A wooden table dominated the room. A cast-iron cauldron sat on a\nWe continued from the kitchen and sat down in the\ndining room. Its ceiling drooped, suggesting that it might fall at any moment.\nThe old furniture belied the warmth of the house and its people, one large\nextended family. Sandor Gallus indicated that only the photographs had changed.\nThey seemed to cover every family event.\nMrs. Gurney entered, her face welcoming. She was\nshort and plump, wore a fashionable dress, and looked young for her forties.\nWe sat down and waited. The Gurneys run on a\ndifferent time to South Australian or Western Australian time: they observe\nGurney time, and by that we had arrived an hour early. The sun had a way to go.\nMrs. Gurney told us that Cyril didn’t come in until from “the pastures.”\nShe spoke of her father who knew Daisy Bates, and\nabout the degeneration of the Aborigines around the train line when it first\nappeared, how they scavenged for scraps. She insisted that they were all\ncivilized and not wild. The Gurneys also contended that Aborigines didn’t\ncreate the marks in the Cave because they couldn’t get down there. Anyway, the\nGurneys added, the Aborigines knew nothing about the lines.\nWhat did she think of the overlanders traveling\nthrough? Mrs. Gurney just laughed. “Well, Mrs. Gurney,” one joked, pointing to\nthe sinkhole, “how long did it take you to dig that?” “Gee,” she replied, “if\nCyril started to dig years ago when he came, and he’s still digging now, he\nwouldn’t have dug an eighth as deep as it is now.” “Is the Cave underneath your\nshed?” another asked.\nThe hour of our wait passed quickly.\nGurney arrived: “Ullo, ullo, ‘ow are ya, ‘ow are ya?”\nHe took his hat off and offered us a beer. We eagerly accepted. He stood tall\nbut stooped, a gaunt man with large gnarled hands and a big bushy beard. He\nwore a flat-brimmed hat, a sports coat done up, stove-pipe trousers, and\ncrossover boots, folded and buttoned, with pointy toes. His face shone ruddy\nand his nose sat round and snubbed. His blue eyes pierced.\nHe looked similar to his brother, Roy, whom Basil\nFuller describes as a model for the typical Australian: strongly built with\npowerful hands, the slouch of a pioneer, sun baked skin, and an easy manner.\nIdriess describes Roy20 years earlier as grinning a welcome. He had keen\neyes, a quick body, short and wiry, and had started to gray. Roy managed the White Wells Station in the 1930s and retired to Eucla. Idriess recognized in him\nwhat he calls “an old bush figure built for endurance,” with a set expression\nthat hints at initiative and determination.\nGurney’s arrival signaled the serving of tea. In came Mrs.\nGurney on the first of many trips, with plate upon plate of cakes, large hot\npies, and little hot pasties with ketchup, all of which stayed on the table\nuntouched for half-an-hour. She brought in a teapot somewhat like a saucepan\nwith a spout on it. Goats’ milk accompanied the tea. An earlier visitor drank\nthe milk avidly until one of the children said, “Pass the goats’ milk.”\nNow we could eat.\nMrs. Gurney spoke of the gatherings she had held\nat her place, entertaining 50 or 60 people at a time, like the Christmas before last\nwith all the children, all the spouses, and all the grandchildren. Gallus\nremembered playing with the children when he first visited Koonalda. An old\nbent-tailed Siamese cat came in and sat next to him, purring.\nWe started to eat about on the Gurney clock. About eleven we could eat\nGurney and his wife entertained Arnold Wright and\nmembers of one of J. Maitland Thomson’s expeditions. The Gurneys invited them\non their first evening at the Cave to a birthday party for one of the Gurneys’\nfive children. Don McKinnon played his bagpipes and Gurney couldn’t keep it to\nhimself. He tuned in his radio to the Flying Doctor Network and spread the\nentertainment across the Nullarbor. Somebody responded with a mouth-organ solo\nand off swung the “Nullarbor Amateur Hour.”\n“Hospitality personified”¾Crosbie Morrison’s name for the Gurneys¾hides the life of hewing a home from the Plain.\n“The spirit of the Nullarbor,” Morrison better calls them, a spirit that\nnothing can daunt. They need both hospitability and dauntlessness\nto succeed. The larger Gurney clan, “the Gurneys of the border,” is a\ncelebrated Nullarbor family.\nWe soon had to pack up camp, bid farewell to the\nGurneys, and set off back to Adelaide and Melbourne. The last morning we spent clearing the Cave of\nour belongings and entering last minute records.\nA roll of exposed film rolled down between rocks\nnear the “ramparts” of the upper chamber and disappeared out of reach. We\nremoved a few stones and Neil Chadwick climbed in and behind the large floor\nboulders to retrieve it. He also discovered a large face of line markings under\nthe present floor.\nI left last. By that time, the gas for the lamps\nhad expired, the candles had burned away, and one box of matches remained. I\nknew the route by heart and only needed a match or two at the worst places.\nChristine Kortlang fell off the ladder out of the\nsinkhole on her last ascent. A large brown snake, probably a king brown, slept\nin the rocks just behind the ladder and frightened her. The king brown is\nwidely distributed, frequently inhabits the caves on the Nullarbor, attains an\nadult length of two-and-a-half meters, and strikes aggressively. People die\nfrom its bite. Kortlang was unhurt.\nRoy Gurney met a snake and nearly fell off his\nwire ladder while carrying a section of pipe over his shoulder, bound for the\nCave. He hung about six meters down and on a rock ledge:\nThis morning it was\na bit awkward, like. I could only use one hand, I had to hang on to the piping\nwith the other; that long pipe was jolly awkward to balance. When I reached the\nledge I took a grip of the wire with my teeth, then reached my free hand up\nover the ledge and gripped the wire. I was all right then, so climbed up over\nthe ledge and my face butted straight into the peering face of a snake. It\nhissed violently and I swayed violently out and the piping went plunging away\ndown below. As the wire jerked me back to the ledge, the terrified snake\nplunged straight out past me into the open air and I came within an ace of\nWe said good-bye. Koonalda rested back in the\nhands of the Gurneys, who probably little understand the importance of the\nplace that waters their stock.\nI drove along the unopened stretch of paved road\nfrom Koonalda to Nullarbor where I had to revert to the dirt road with its dust.\nI missed the pre-arranged point for the night’s sleep, Ivy Shed Tanks. Fuller\nonce spent a night there. His thoughts ranged over topics that prevented his\nsleeping: war and the Bomb. Due north about 80 kilometers lies Watson, the railway siding that\nlinks with Maralinga, the Long Range Weapons Establishment of the Australian\nGovernment. “Maralinga” derives from an Aboriginal word that means thunder.\nInstead of Ivy Shed Tanks, I stopped at the first\ngas station I found. I slept, as I had over the last three weeks, in the open\non the Nullarbor, exposed to the moon and the stars. My thoughts didn’t turn to\ndestruction. A full moon rising over the hot Nullarbor atmosphere can assume\nsquare shapes. A halo of colors¾yellow, blue, and green¾suspends in the atmosphere when the sun sets.\nMyriads of stars emerge. I felt in another world with no other human being\naround. Bates looked up into a plethora of worlds and felt the earth the\ntiniest atom in comparison. “On such nights,” she continues, “it is good to wander\nover these great distances in company with the Aborigines and listen and hear\ntheir wonderful legends of this and that star. . .and wander with them along\nthe ‘Yaggin’ (moon) that was made when the moon was human.”\nWe offered a surplus crate of fresh fruit to an\nAboriginal family squatting across the road from the gas station in the\nmorning. They probably lived at an Aboriginal Mission in Yalata near FowlersBay. It originally opened at Ooldea early in the twentieth century and moved\nto its current site in 1952. About 350 people now live and work there, most of them\nfrom the more northern Pitjanjara\nSome tribes on the northern desert fringes of the\nNullarbor still live in those fringes. One of the last parties of these people\nto “come out of the bush” attempted to walk south across the Plain to Neale\nJunction in 1963. They\ntried to extract water from the roots of the myall, as in their homeland with\neucalyptus trees, but with little success. Three of the six died of thirst.\nThe predecessors of these outcasts and fringe\ndwellers created the markings we journeyed to the Nullarbor to look at. The\ncivilization of the original Koonalda people and the squatting Aborigines lived\nsuccessfully in what we find very harsh; Aboriginal civilization had learned the\nspiritual values necessary for peaceful co-existence with its life-giver. The\noriginal Australians met their needs and savored their life. We could learn\nsuch civilized behavior. Europeans once did learn from them¾if Gallus is correct¾because Aboriginal experience helped develop the\nstone tools, art, and self-expression of European culture.\nThe arrival of later Europeans quickly destroyed\nthis ancient civilization. The Mirning quickly slid from the sole\ninhabitants of the Plain, to beggars at the edge of society, to ceasing to\nexist. Bates’ reflection on the Nullarbor also applies to its now-gone people:\nHere there is\nnothing young that was not long since old. Here there is no germination potency\nof nature. . . .The solemn all-embracing silence. . .is so impressive that one\nfeels as if the moment of breaking will usher in some catastrophe. Even the\nechoes seem to be dead.\nThe Landcruiser completed its trek back to Adelaide and the station wagon limped into Melbourne minutes before its engine ceased up. We returned\nto our lives. Koonalda, with many mysteries still unlocked, continues.\nCORRESPONDENT, 1936. Taboo\ncaves of Australia.\nThe Times (London) 16 January, pp. 6, 16.\n40.BOLAM, A.G., 1978.

Currently, only six states have legalized online lottery ticket sales, and it’s not clear if any others will follow suit. However, it’s likely that many more will do so in the near future.\nMost of the states that have allowed online lotteries are in the process of expanding their service offerings. These services include Instant Games, which are casino-style games that can be played from a mobile device or a desktop. These games provide players with the chance to win huge jackpots. Some even offer instant payouts that are paid directly into a togel hk account.\nFor the most part, the odds of winning a jackpot are pretty slim for an individual. For instance, if you purchase a Mega Millions ticket for $2, you have a one in five chance of winning a prize. For most other lotteries, the house edge is close to 50 percent.\nAside from allowing users to buy tickets from a range of retailers, the New York lottery website also offers apps for iOS and Android. These apps allow players to check results and prize draws, and to scan their tickets into their accounts. The lottery app also shows players a map of retailers who are participating in the state’s draws.\nIf you’re a winner of a New York lottery prize over $500, you’ll receive a W2-G form. You’ll need to pay an additional 3.876 percent in New York state taxes. Additionally, you must be a resident of the state to participate. If you’re not a resident, you can still purchase a ticket.\nIn addition to the lottery, there are a number of other popular games for New York residents to play. For example, Cash4Life allows players to buy a ticket for two dollars. They must choose five white ball numbers and one green ‘cash ball’ number. The prizes are typically $1,000 a week for life.\nThere are also many state-wide lottery games that are available in various parts of the country. Some of these games are available in the UK, France, Switzerland, and Spain. The biggest game in the state is Powerball. The prize pool for the game is approximately $8 billion. It’s also considered the de facto national lottery game.\nAside from lottery-related games, the New York state lottery offers local and multi-jurisdictional games. The prize pools vary from game to game, and the jackpots grow with time. Buying tickets from an official online lottery site is just as safe and secure as purchasing tickets from a land-based distribution point. The sites make it easy to claim your prizes, and the information about the games is also provided in a user-friendly way.\nAside from the New York lottery, there are several other state-wide lotteries in the US. These lotteries are run by the states, and have been successful in generating high sales totals. In 1996, the New York state lottery was created, and has since been awarded nearly $5 billion in prize money to players.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://sj63.com/html/200911/2009112523092727530_1.html","date":"2017-09-26T07:15:49Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818695113.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20170926070351-20170926090351-00398.warc.gz","language_score":0.6838507056236267,"token_count":114,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2017-39","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-39__0__58261643","lang":"en","text":"作者: 佚名 来源:不详 浏览:12 日期:2009-11-25 23:09:27\nSony Pictures 2012 The Movie: Flooding the subway\nCampaign of the film’s release in 2012 in Brazil.

I bought the book in Cape Town and read it once while returning from Africa, and I warmly recommend it: The Other (Verso, London New York, 2008). I learnt that the author died quite recently, in 2007, and that this book was his last; it was translated after his death in 2008. I also read that a major part of his work was still in the process of being translated.\nIn his book, Kapuscinsky quotes very often the anthropologist Malinowsky and the philosopher Levinas. He speaks of the necessity of developing an anthropological view in journalism, and has a very interesting understanding of the concept of “the other”, and what he calls «My other». According to him:\n«At this point of a period of accelerated, increased migration had set in, when millions and millions of people moved to the cities, and that main stay of tradition, the village, was depopulated as its people was decimated by famine, civil war, droughts and epidemics. The person we meet and get to known the big cities of the third world is already another Other-the product of an urban, hybrid culture, that is hard to define, the descendant of various contradictory worlds, a composite creature of fluid, impermanent contours and features. Nowadays is exactly this kind of other we are usually dealing with» (p.33).\nSimilar to the author, I too discovered, with the help of our tourist guide, the existence of the large Capetownian Township where about 2 million people are living; they seemed to me nearer and similar to the favelas of Sao Paulo, the township resembling the place where I taught for several years in a University located in the suburbs. Those zones of poverty and despair near the urban centers are venues of violence, drugs market, corruption, and they are now a global phenomenon, which according to the author, tends to develop itself and spread all over. He describes « The archipelagos of all sorts of ghettos and camps spread about our planet » (p.74) He also noticed as I did, observing the commercial relationship between the Chinese and South Africans that “a new other has been born”: a non-European who is “other” in relation to another non-European. According to his observation, such relationships and exchanges are developing between people from Africa and Asia for example, or between people from Pacific Islands and the Caribbean. Trying to fully participate in the international dialogue and the world economic future, the author notes that:\n«The stranger, the other in his third world incarnation (and so the most numerous individual in our planet) is still treated as the object of research, but has not yet become our partner, jointly responsible for the fate of the planet on which we live» (p.61).\nExplaining to us his desire for an anthropological interpretation of our world, he observes the important role played by the “masses”. Thus, there is a mass culture and a mass hysteria, mass tastes (or rather lack of taste) and mass paranoia, mass enslavement and finally mass murder. The only hero on the world stage is the crowd, this mass, with its anonymity, its impersonality, lack of identity, lack of face. The individual is lost in the crowd, the mass had engulfed him, and the waters of the lake have closed over him. To use Gabriel Marcel’s term, he has become «the nameless anonymous person in a fragmentary state»\nReturning to Canada after a 28-hour journey during which my husband and I had an uninterrupted flight of 20 hours and waited on 3 crowded airports, with a long stop in Holland. And I said to myself that this world has really nothing to do with a global village. I was simultaneously impacted by the amazing beauty of South Africa, and the crisis that is shaking the African continent, with the disappearance of the tribes’ habitat and the end of the “village” era and this new form of slavery in the poverty zones of the big cities and in its modern factories.\nMalinowsky’s problem was how to get close to the other if he is not a purely abstract creature, but a specific person, belonging to a different race, with his own beliefs and values that are different from ours, his own culture and customs. According to the author: «culture is becoming increasingly hybrid and heterogeneous» (p. 89). With regard to the expression “the global village” that he considers, as I do, as one of the greatest mistakes of modern culture, he comments:\n«the essence of a village depends on the fact that its inhabitants know each other well, commune with each other and share a common fate. Meanwhile nothing of this kind can be said of our planet»…\nIn this sense « we are all in the same boat. Every one of us living on this planet is an Other in the view of Others » (p.86)\nMy last impression of South Africa is that in order to understand a culture as Malinovsky says, you have to be there. And I was not there long enough. There are at least 6 languages spoken in South Africa, many tribes, different kinds of apartheid which is in fact a very ancient and European phenomenon, and as Nelson Mandela beautifully wrote: it is a “long walk for freedom”. I was fascinated by this country, I miss South Africa somehow, as if a treasure was hidden there, that I wasn’t able to find in the very heart of the people with whom we shared some time of our life, even if only for a few days.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.fourthpres.com/location.php","date":"2017-03-23T12:16:29Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218186895.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212946-00055-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz","language_score":0.8563942909240723,"token_count":90,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2017-13","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-13__0__19566657","lang":"en","text":"Parking: On Sunday mornings worshippers are able to park in the church parking lot, on the streets surrounding the church, and across the street in the parking lot of the Poinsett Club.\nFOURTH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH\n703 East Washington Street | Greenville, SC 29601-3034\n(864) 232-8123 | (864) 233-8047 (fax)\nView Larger Map","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://www.waterfallbay.nz/","date":"2024-04-13T11:53:10Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816734.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413114018-20240413144018-00844.warc.gz","language_score":0.9339506030082703,"token_count":368,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2024-18","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__94555430","lang":"en","text":"Welcome to Waterfall Bay\nWelcome to Beautiful Waterfall Bay, situated at the end of Onahau Bay in the Queen Charlotte Sounds.

Here is a breakdown of what was discussed.\nQuestion: Will there be oceans on ArcCorp?\nAnswer: The main focus on ArcCorp was to get the planet tech to do something totally different and that was to have a hard surface all around. There was an incredible amount of research to get this tech working and was one of the harder feats this team has done. Unfortunately, there was no answer.\nQuestion: What kind of things can we expect to find exploring ArcCorp?\nAnswer: Possible underground facilities, wrecks, abandoned buildings for possible missions. Further ahead there seems to be reason these things could happen but for now the team wants to get the Stanton System up and running first.\nQuestion: Will ArcCorp incorporate a broader color scheme?\nAnswer: Yes. The team is actively working on variations of colors, buildings, mega structures, tiles, and more points of interest around the planet that are unique. The team is hopeful after 3.5 that this patch will be introduced.\nQuestion: Where does ArcCorp’s atmosphere come from and will there be parks/green areas?\nAnswer: The current buildings ArcCorp all have landing pads on them which are modular. CIG could modify these to have rooftop gardens or other such ideas. As for bigger areas, there is only so much detail they can manage and they have been working on ideas but it is difficult to create a green area that molds well with environment and doesn’t automatically draw the eye.\nThe atmosphere could possibly have multiple processors that create the environment required to sustain life.\nQuestion: Why has ArcCorp changed its look from its previous demo?\nAnswer: There were performance reasons and artistic ones. Less noisy buildings and simpler detail. More dedication to detail in specific areas.\nQuestion: What are tricks and optimizations to improve framerates on ArcCorp?\nAnswer: Trying to create larger pieces that use less polygons and drawcalls. Lots more aggressive LODs.\nQuestion: Will CIG go back and update old moons with the new tech?\nAnswer: Yes, in time.\nQuestion: Were there lessons learned created ArcCorp that can help create future organic planets?\nAnswer: Absolutely. They used the tech for rock scattering to apply to buildings on ArcCorp. There is no reason now why they can go back to an organic planet and use the ArcCorp building tech to create enormous cliffs or rocks. There are lots of techniques that can cross over between projects.\nQuestion: How many LODs (Level of Detail – Up close model high detail and progressively gets lower detail as you travel further away. Each detail change is a model or LOD.\nAnswer: Generally there are about five LODs per asset. If you calculate all the LODs it gets big. (LOL!) CIG is always looking to find ways to increase performance. When they introduced ArcCorp, they put over 100,000 entities into the PU.\nQuestion: Will there be changes to the distribution of rocks on moons?\nAnswer: As tech evolves and new procedural methods emerge, CIG will go back and update required areas.\nQuestion: Will there be biome diversity on ArcCorp?\nAnswer: The current area is mainly industrial. Around Area18 are some smaller suburbs. The main focus for ArcCorp to create different biomes would be variation of building sizes and design. Possible unique super structures and buildings.\nQuestion: What lessons did you learn from Lorville that you incorporated into ArcCorp?\nAnswer: Draw distance was a big factor. Learning how to use LODs and drawcalls effectively.\nQuestion: Will there be large scale buildings like a SUPERCLUB?\nAnswer: They have a building with a landing pad on the side. Also have some other prototype buildings. One such is a giant “donut” shaped building.\nQuestion: Could owners of buildings change the exteriors?\nAnswer: Seems similar to habs. CIG is in early days of persistent habs. No reason why they couldn’t do this. They want everything to be customizable to have your own look and feel to assets you own.\nQuestion: Will we see space stations floating around ArcCorp?\nAnswer: They are currently working on it. They are tossing around the idea of dry docks in orbit for larger ships to land and then smaller ships will shuttle people down to the surface.\nQuestion: Any chance of panoramic elevators on buildings?\nAnswer: They want to look into it. No reason why not. Another thing looking into is having windows in habs. Certain locations could have external elevators.\nQuestion: Will there be seasons on planets?\nAnswer: They are looking into weather systems.\nQuestion: How fun is it creating environments for Star Citizen.\nAnswer: It is really fun but very challenging. The challenge makes it fun. There are always some new problems to tackle. The scale of this creation can be daunting but seeing players run around in the world and have fun is a great reward, never a dull moment.\nLeave a Reply\nYou must be logged in to post a comment.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://feedaddy.com/stunning-3-5-foot-long-moonfish-weighing-45-kgs-washes-up-on-oregon-beach-see-pics/","date":"2021-07-28T13:40:05Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153729.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20210728123318-20210728153318-00212.warc.gz","language_score":0.9608869552612305,"token_count":317,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2021-31","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-31__0__155350687","lang":"en","text":"New Delhi: A colourful, giant fish weighing about 45 kilos washed up at a beach in US Oregon.

After some research I have noticed that there are several bowyers who name their bows after predators and there are several Bobcat and Coyote bows available from various bow makers. I like to think that Coyote Creek Archery is not like any of the other bow makers. You won't find a custom bow of this quality, for the price anywhere. After a lot of thought I wanted to do something different. After spending all of my life in the state of Kansas I wanted names that were more connected to my home, something that had more meaning to me personally. I decided to name my 3 bow styles after the 3 main waterways in Northwest Kansas. The three that I have spent countless hours hunting, fishing, trapping, and exploring.\nThe Bobcat recurve will now be known as the Solomon for the North and South Fork Solomon Rivers. It is the river closest to the inspiration for this bow and coming in two lengths it is fitting that it be named after the river with two forks.\nThe Swift Fox longbow will now be known as the Saline. Named after the Saline River where I took my first deer with a longbow and my first deer with a Coyote Creek longbow. I have also pursued and harvested many deer, turkey, phesants, quail, and other critters along the Saline in my outdoor pursuits. The Coyote Creek flows into the Saline River and it is a very appropriate name for this bow.\nThe Coyote takedown has been discontinued and is being replaced by a new one piece recurve coming in the Spring of 2018. This new bow will be named the Smoky. The Smoky Hill river is where I shot my very first deer. It flows just a few miles south of Coyote Creek Archery, and I have had countless adventures along the Smoky. It is fitting that with this new bow being born near the Smoky that it be named after that river.\nI hope that you like the changes. I know that I do and it will be a great feeling knowing that each bow that is made at Coyote Creek Archery will always represent my home in Northwest Kansas.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://hazaraislamicus.com/index.php/home/article/view/32","date":"2021-08-04T19:32:02Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154897.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20210804174229-20210804204229-00360.warc.gz","language_score":0.8966662883758545,"token_count":238,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2021-31","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-31__0__282419052","lang":"en","text":"Review of geographical Sīrah written for children\nKeywords:Sīrah, Anthropological Geography, Human Geography, Physical Geography, Holy Campaigns (Ghazawāt), Holy Expeditions (Sarāyā).\n“Modern Sīrah writers have drawn maps to highlight geographical Sīrah of the Holy Prophet.

Ancient Ghana is located in a different place than the modern country of Ghana in West Africa.\nBut even earlier than the trading that went on between east and west Africa, the kingdom of Ghana acted as guards for the traders from the north, and the traders from the south.\nGhana was in the middle. Ghana was a great military power in ancient times. They had an army offighting men. People in the north had salt mines. People in the south had gold mines. Ghana had an army that could protect the traders. Ghana charged a fee for their protection in gold and in salt and in other goods. This arrangement worked well for everyone.\nGhana became rich. The people in Ghana were very happy. They worked hard, but they were safe and protected. They benefited from the wealth that poured into the empire. The king and nobles lived in the best houses, but they too were comfortable. They had plenty to eat. The Niger River ran through ancient Ghana.\nThe river provided water for bathing and washing. There were ample fish and waterfowl to eat. The people also farmed. They grew sweet potatoes and other vegetables. No one went hungry in ancient Ghana.\nThey were creative people. Their artists wove cotton fabrics. They designed these fabrics by painting wet mud on woven cloth, and then placing the fabric in the sun to dry.\nThis created a permanent design in the cloth. It was very clever and very unique.By Xuan Chau, a fine pianist.\nIn a land not far away, in West Africa, you will find an ancient city. Actually, more like an ancient city of gold. To be exact, the name of this city is Ghana. Ghana is located directly of northeast Africa, close to the Niger and many other rivers.\nThis city dated far back as the year B. C to A. Ghana was one of the few ancient cities that rose at its time. Possibly the main factor that kept this city alive, was trade. Archeologists can easily picture what trading in Ghana was like.\nThe promotion of Ghana's foreign trade has been central to all government plans to revive the economy since These included devaluing the currency as well as raising producer prices for crucial exports such as cocoa, salt and gold, kola beans, and different virgin materials. The taxes were run by the king. He collected taxes off every single trade item that entered the city. This included slaves, and domesticated animals. Some of the items that were shipped through trade routs were nuts and berries, leather and ivory, nuggets, iron, cloth and cotton, hides, and wood.\nAlthough most of the items Ghana traded were harvested, most of them fell under the major categories: salt and gold. Reason salt and gold were so popular, is because first of all, they were easy to find, often in caves or underground digging mines. These were harvested by miners and many other people. Alone, salt supported and replaced what is lost in sweat.\nThis was especially important in hot and humid places. Trading salt was what made Ghana such a rich empire. In fact, one pound of salt in Ghana would cost as much as 25 dinars, about ounces of gold. Gold alone was important because it was worth a lot of money, and since Ghana had no trouble finding it, it also made the city rich.African Art - The Market of Masks (Documentary of 2015)\nMost families wore gold as jewelry. But these were not all they traded. Slaves were especially important in Ghana because they completed jobs without payment while Ghanaians were away.Traditional Ghanaian architecture was driven by the raw material available for buildings, such as thatch for roofing and mud and wood for walls. Today, such buildings are rare, although modern architects try to borrow some of their elements when designing and constructing buildings.\nIn addition, British colonialism also left behind many landmarks, including Victorian-style towers, slave castle and forts. Here are some of the buildings in Ghana that are admired not just for their beauty, but also for the position they have etched in history.\nAncient Ghana: The West African Kingdom & Land of Gold\nThe Larabanga Mosque in the Northern region is the oldest mosque in Ghana, and one of the oldest in West Africa, thought to date back to This black-and-white Sahelian structure has a distinct mud minaret with wooden poles jutting out, similar to other mosques in West Africa such as those found in Timbuktuas well as other buildings with ancient Sudanese architecture.\nThe Larabanga Mosque shows the relationship between present-day Ghana and the Western Saharan empires such as Ghana, Mali and Songhai, which had a strong influence on the sub-region.\nIt represents the fortitude of these architectural styles, which have survived for centuries and continue to be a popular destination for tourists. The Gold Coast, a former British colony, was a major hub for the enterprise of slavery in the past. The Ghanaian coastline, stretching around km mi. Built in the 15th century by the Portugueseit was a major point of departure for millions of slaves to the New World.\nIts design is akin to other buildings such as the Christiansborg Castle in Accra or the Elmina Castlewith its similar walls, narrow hallways, dungeons and network of tunnels. All of these slave forts and castles are major tourist sites today, and are talking points for the true nature of slavery. Yet today, with all of the other modern minimalist-inspired buildings around it in the centre of Accra, its dome-like roof resembling the Sydney Opera House stands out from the crowd. These apartments are reserved for the affluent in Ghana who can afford the pricey rents and keep up appearances.\nNevertheless, Villaggio is a visual joy and a unique addition to the Accra skyline. These four buildings represent a small fraction of the extreme architectural beauty that the country has to offer.\nIn all the other towns and cities in Ghana, many other buildings exist that will wow you with their splendour. Select currency. Africa Ghana. Architecture is one of the first things to notice and the last to forget when visiting a city or country, and Ghana is no exception. The dynamic use of space, which incorporates designs, motifs, colour and other symbolic accents, lends characteristics to the landscape.\nGhana has a unique blend of ancient and modern architecture, influenced by its illustrious history and the ideas of brilliant minds who memorialised various epochs in the walls of some of the buildings. The Larabanga Mosque. Cape Coast Castle. The National Theatre. Villaggio Vista.

The region was rich in gold, and its acquisition meant that Ghana would become a leading force in the trans-Saharan trade network. The golden stool of the Ashanti kings of Ghana, a symbol of their power, has not been seen by the general public for years.\nAfrican Art Museum\nIts location is kept secret, and a replica is used for public display. Ghanaian Politics The leader of all leaders was the king, who was also known as the ghanaor war chief. His word was law. He served as the commander in chief of a highly organized army, the controller of all trade activities, and the head administrator of justice.\nMayors, civil servants, counselors, and ministers were appointed by the king to assist with administrative duties — but at all times, the king was in charge. Each day, the king assembled his court and allowed people to publicly voice their complaints. Beating drums that resounded throughout the area signaled the courts assemblage and people gathered to speak their minds. Whether they were neighborly conflicts, or cases of violated rights, the king listened to the complaints and gave his judgment.\nSuch hearings were reportedly peaceful, unless they involved issues of criminal nature. Two of the most serious criminal offenses were the denial of debt and the shedding of blood. These crimes were tried by ordeal. Ghanaian citizens were not the only ones put to the king's test. Inhabitants of its conquered lands were examined for their good behavior and loyalty as well. In territories where order and obedience prevailed, and taxes were properly paid, autonomy was granted.\nBut in areas which struggled for independence or defied the king's laws, Ghanaian governors were appointed as watchdogs and little went unreported to the king. When the king was not busy enforcing his power among the people, he was spreading it internationally through trade.\nAt its peak, Ghana was chiefly bartering gold, ivory, and slaves for salt from Arabs and horses, cloth, swords, and books from North Africans and Europeans. With this system, it is no wonder that Ghana got rich quickly. The wealth that the kingdom acquired did not, however, serve in its favor forever. Competition from other states in the gold trade eventually took its toll. Jealousy, fear, and anger of Ghana's power prompted its neighbors to stand up against the kingdom.\nTheir efforts were at first weak and insignificant, but eventually, in the midth century, a Muslim group known as the Almoravids launched a devastating invasion on the capital city of Koumbi Saleh.\nThough territories were seized, and a tribute tax was enforced, Ghana recovered and forced the invaders to withdraw. A little less than years later, however, Ghana was not so lucky. Weakened by subsequent attacks, and cut-off from international trade, the kingdom was vulnerable and unable to prevent defeat.Ghanafirst of the great medieval trading empires of western Africa fl.\nGhana was populated by Soninke clans of Mande -speaking people who acted as intermediaries between the Arab and Amazigh Berber salt traders to the north and the producers of gold and ivory to the south. The empire should not be confused with the modern Republic of Ghana. An unconfirmed tradition dates the origins of the kingdom to the 4th century ce. Nothing is known of the political history of Ghana under its early kings. The first written references to the empire are those of Arabic geographers and historians from the 8th century, and it seems certain that, byGhana had become rich and powerful.\nThe king was able to enforce obedience from lesser groups and to exact tribute from them. Much of the empire was ruled through tributary princes who were probably the traditional chiefs of these subject clans.\nThere the gold was exchanged for commodities, the most important of which was salt, that had been transported southward by northern African caravans. It also incorporated some of the gold-producing lands to its south and such south-Saharan cities to the north as Audaghosta famous market that has since disappeared. The subject peoples of the empire began to break away, and inone of these, the Susuoccupied the capital.\nIn the city was destroyed by the Mande emperor Sundiataand what was left of the empire of Ghana was incorporated into his new empire of Mali.

I went there because I was bored and I needed inspiration.\nI find it creatively refreshing to be in a different environment or to be surrounded by inspiring people or articles. The National Museum has been around for as long as Ghana has been independent, yet being a Ghanaian living in Ghana all my life, I have never heard much about it.\nThe Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum is far more popular than this is. I cannot explain why that is but I can speculate. Are Ghanaian selectively interested in just some aspects of their culture and history and not the whole? Well, that is not the focus of my post. There was so much history and art on not just Ghana, but the whole world on display! I was absolutely shocked circling the artefacts in the galleries.\nI did not know how to react to it. When I got there, I thought it was closed. The place was dead quiet. I spent about two hours and all I could kept on hearing was the occasional chatter of the employees. No one else came in and from the looks of things, it did not seem like the museum is heavily patronized. However, that did not deter me from enjoy the art and learning my history. I was sad not to know a lot about the history of Ghana, despite having studied history of Africa and Ghana at a point in time in my life.\nThere is just so much out there, that is ours and we should be proud of. I used to be one of the people who did not see the importance of history. Well, I would kindly like to educate you should you fall in this group.

More From Thought Catalog.Gold Trade and the Kingdom of Ancient Ghana Around the fifth century, thanks to the availability of the camel, Berber-speaking people began crossing the Sahara Desert.\nFrom the eighth century onward, annual trade caravans followed routes later described by Arabic authors with minute attention to detail. Gold, sought from the western and central Sudan, was the main commodity of the trans-Saharan trade. The traffic in gold was spurred by the demand for and supply of coinage.\nThe rise of the Soninke empire of Ghana appears to be related to the beginnings of the trans-Saharan gold trade in the fifth century. From the seventh to the eleventh century, trans-Saharan trade linked the Mediterranean economies that demanded gold—and could supply salt—to the sub-Saharan economies, where gold was abundant. Although local supply of salt was sufficient in sub-Saharan Africa, the consumption of Saharan salt was promoted for trade purposes.\nIn the eighth and ninth centuries, Arab merchants operating in southern Moroccan towns such as Sijilmasa bought gold from the Berbers, and financed more caravans.\nThese commercial transactions encouraged further conversion of the Berbers to Islam. The Soninke managed to keep the source of their gold the Bambuk mines, most notably secret from Muslim traders.\nThe Beauty of Ghanaian Architecture In Four Buildings\nYet gold production and trade were important activities that undoubtedly mobilized hundreds of thousands of African people.\nLeaders of the ancient kingdom of Ghana accumulated wealth by keeping the core of pure metal, leaving the unworked native gold to be marketed by their people. By the end of the twelfth century, however, Ghana had lost its domination of the western Sudan gold trade.\nTrans-Saharan routes began to bypass Audaghost, expanding instead toward the newly opened Bure goldfield. Soso, the southern chiefdom of the Soninke, gained control of Ghana as well as the Malinke, the latter eventually liberated by Sundiata Keita, who founded the Mali empire.\nMali rulers did not encourage gold producers to convert to Islamsince prospecting and production of the metal traditionally depended on a number of beliefs and magical practices that were alien to Islam.\nIn the fourteenth century, cowrie shells were introduced from the eastern coast as local currency, but gold and salt remained the principal mediums of long-distance trade. The flow of sub-Saharan gold to the northeast probably occurred in a steady but small stream. Undoubtedly, some of this African gold was also used in Western gold coins.\nWhen Mossi raids destroyed the Mali empire, the rising Songhai empire relied on the same resources. Gold remained the principal product in the trans-Saharan trade, followed by kola nuts and slaves. The Moroccan scholar Leo Africanus, who visited Songhai in andobserved that the governor of Timbuktu owned many articles of gold, and that the coin of Timbuktu was made of gold without any stamp or superscription.\nDepartment of the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas.

They are similar in morphology and formation to oxbows elsewhere, but their ecology reflects a unique evolutionary time-scale. The Murray-Darling river system, for example, occupied its present drainage basin 60 million years ago in Gondwana. For millions of years, as Australia moved north, the low-gradient rivers meandered back and forth across their floodplains – billabongs formed and re-formed. In this ancient and highly stable river system, extant billabongs may have occupied the same position for thousands of years. They have been subjected to variations of climate, from tropical to arid, but have not been scoured by glaciation. During periods of aridity billabongs may have provided refugia and foci of speciation, and a source of colonizing biota when the climate became wetter.\nAs part of a long-term study of microfaunal ecology in billabongs, we report here on the species composition and population dynamics of the resident rotifer community in a River Murray billabong pre- and post-flooding in summer 1990. The significance of microfaunal community responses is then considered in relation to the billabong ecosystem, particularly in the context of floodplain food webs.\nDaily plankton collections were taken from a billabong of the River Murray for two weeks prior to inundation in March1990 and continued for ten days after flooding. Quantitative responses of the plankton community and the component species were analysed against measured environmental variables and between species. Rotifers and copepod nauplii were the predominant net plankton (> 53 μm). Significant negative or positive responses to inundation were detected for most common taxa of 63 rotifer species recorded. A four-fold dilution from intrusion of river water masked rapid population increases. Opportunistic responses to inundation appear to be a survival strategy in the highly unpredictable billabong environment.\nLor-Wai Tan & Russell J.

Just a bit further south (and a tad bit less weird) the Kyle and Buda areas are already on the radar for businesses and residents in other states hit hard by the recession (I was one of them). Dusting myself off and grabbing my boot straps, east I headed, just as so many others are doing. Soon our community will be flourishing and local businesses can only benefit from it; this growth is inevitable.

Products that are adding value in several sectors such as the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction), Real Estate and Smart Cities.\nCo-founder Managing Partner\nCo-founder - Technical Advisor\nBIM Coordinator + CO2 accounting\nGeospatial Data Scientist\nBusiness Data Scientist\nBIM + Digital Twins\nThe team consists of Architects and Engineers, with experience and qualifications to license and detail projects for highly complex constructions, to use artificial intelligence, processing data from satellite and GIS sources, thus achieving the proper diagnosis of intervention sites and applying predictive algorithms to evaluate the evolution of a particular property or operation. The data obtained is essential to start work governed by good practices.\nOWL is therefore focused on correctly interpreting the context of the intervention area and the customer's expectations. One of the team's mottoes is the focus on getting off to a good start:\n\"Start well to deliver well.\"\n“Our Watch Leads (OWL) stands for a vision that leads the development of smarter territories and cities, greener buildings and neighbourhoods. It also means that this vision is \"Ours\", in the sense that it is shared between OWL and its suppliers, customers and associates. Our Watch Leads is a vision shared with all the people that identify with and want to join this leadership.”\nAt OWL we usually tell our clients that \"even when we only evaluate a single land property, there are better and worse areas to build in, wouldn't you rather plan your building or infrastructure in the best areas?\"\nOur Watch Leads – OWL's mission is to help bring sustainibility to the construction and real estate sectors. The company is democratizing the access to Satellite and GIS data, enabling users to understand and use this data sets and the various concrete parameters that derive from them.\nOWL's products allow remote access to various parameters such as topography and soil at risk of collapse, land surface temperature, water in the soil and biodiversity, among others. This is achieved by the assessment of several square kilometers simultaneously, with resolutions of up to 0.30m/pixel, with higher speed and more relevant values, that complement traditional in-situ survey methods.\nThis allows users to save time and resources, a practical example is to think that OWL allows access to historical data of vegetation, waterways, temperature and urban development, to get this type of data means losing several days of research in scattered sources of online information, or alternatively empirically, it would imply spending several days at the site of intervention, in all seasons and in more than one year. Projects simply do not have this kind of time.\nIt is for these reasons that we invite those interested to get to know our offer, so pertinent in times like the present when it is important to reduce travel expenses and emissions.\nAwards and Recognition\n- Wins PHArA-ON grant to test mobile app prototype with users from Caritas Coimbra and UCMARE;\n- Presents Satellite Earth Observation in the High-Level Construction Forum organized by the European Commission;\n- Presents the company in Portugal Smart Cities Summit, invited by the Municipal Government of Coimbra;·\n- Participation in the Web Summit 2022 with the Alpha pack granted by the program Road2Web Summit;\n- Presents the company in Coimbra Cooletiva;\n- Participation with mentoring in Coimbra Space Summer School 2022;\n- Participation with mentoring in Inneostart 2022;\n- Participation with mentoring in Act in Space 2022.\n- Licensing of the first green neighbourhood with an architecture design based on a diagnosis with Satellite Earth Observation Technology, with 207 apartments on a plot of 18,128.00 m2;\n- Wins the Metabuilding Seed Voucher;\n- Gained access to the NEANIAS Program;\n- Interview for Startup Tales from Startup Portugal;\n- Copernicus Masters International Finalist - Bay Wa;\n- OWL presents Satellite Earth Observation in Urban Development at CEES 2021 by Itecons.\n- 1st place at Portuguese Cassini Hackaton;\n- Finalist at International Cassini Hackaton.\n- Gained access to the Startup Voucher Program;\n- Gained access to the Astropreneurs Program;\n- 1st place in Act in Space Portugal;\n- Act in Space International finalist;\n- Gained access to the Go2Space Program;\n- Gained access to the European Space Agency Business Incubation Center Portugal Program;\n- Startup Voucher for the company's achievement.\nWhat our clients say about us\n“Our watch Leads team was essential when it came to creating a sustainable project. For us, more than a simple residential project, we were looking for innovative solutions that would add value to our enterprise. With the satellite data survey, we managed to make the most of the space and discover the biodiversity of the land, resulting in the presentation of a spectacular water line along the intervention and turning our property into a green neighbourhood, with maximum balance between the environment, the well-being of users and our profitability.

Now, with so many manufacturers vying for your hard earned cash, the market has GPS devices for all price points, meaning you (theoretically) never have to get lost again. We have tested some of the most popular ones to help you decide how to plan your next adventure.\nBoth loved and loathed, Strava offers a lot more than just simple route planning. Its route planning function, however is easy to get started with.\nThe interface is uncluttered and lets you get started by choosing whether you want to ride or run, then clicking on your desired starting point.\nThen it's just a matter of clicking on your desired destination, or intermediate points. We found that on smaller screens the elevation profile took up too much of the screen space, and forced us to zoom out more than we'd like, which makes it harder to see some of the finer details on the map, such as junctions or alternative roads. There is the option, however, to minimise the elevation profile pane.\nOne of the features we liked is the minimise elevation button. This forces the planner to plot your route with the flattest elevation profile. This could be useful if you are recovering from injury, building base fitness, or looking for a recovery ride route.\nThere is also the possibility to switch to manual mode, which allows you to take over all route planning controls, rather than allowing Strava to calculate the route based on popularity or flattest possible elevation profile.\nThe Global Heatmap function allows the user to view the most ridden routes. Those which are redder in colour are ridden more frequently than those in blue. This could be useful, but also meaningless if there aren't many cyclists in your area. Nor is there any clear distinction between trails and roads, so relying on this feature might provide you a route which may not suit your prefered riding style. We also liked the Bike Paths/Lanes feature, which could help you to find the safest way out of the city and into the country.\nWe liked the features it offers, but other features, such as the Heat Map can be confusing and overwhelming. On smaller screens the layout feels cramped.\nRidewithgps is a slightly less mainstream version of Strava. Perhaps better suited for those who don't want to be overwhelmed with every small segment on their ride.\nThe interface is clean, uncluttered and easy to navigate. Each pane can be hidden and the elevation pane can be switched to gradient, which is a nice touch if you want to avoid the super steep climbs.\nOne noticable difference between Ridewithgps and Strava is that, Ridewithgps can be used to plan for driving as well as riding or running. This could prevent road cyclists from accidentaly heading on to a trail.\nRidewithgps also offers the user the possibility to plot their routes along known cycle paths.\nOSM Cycle view shows not only local cycle paths, but also national cycle ways, which are well labeled, and not at all overwhelming. For potential touring cyclists, this is a nice feature.\nAs with most online route planning sites, it's simple to save and export your route. You can also choose whether to make your route public, and how much information to include.\nOne disadvantage of Ridewithgps is that we often found ourselves being routed along very busy roads and often along trails. As a result, we would most likely check each route carefuly before downloading it to our device.\nWe liked the clean interface and simplicity of planning a route, but more competitive cyclists might prefer the segment oriented Strava.\nMapMyRide is certainly no newcomer to the market. It has been online since long before the likes of Strava appeared, and popular with both cyclists and runners.\nThe site has a slick corporate look, or at least what we were able to see from it. The mapping tools were not able to load with Firefox. We had more success with Chrome, but were instantly unimpressed\nwith how at least a quarter of the page was reserved for advertising. Fortunately, this doesn't affect the usabilty, as the user can scroll them out of view, or hide the offending pane.\nThe user interface is clean, and puts the most important controls instantly in front of the user.\nPlotting a route is simple, and no different to its contenders.\nThe elevation profile takes up a large section of the pane. However, we liked the gradient view.\nBrowser compatibility frustrated us, as did so much of the window being taken up by advertising. The mapping tools are good, but not better than its competitors'.\nBikely: Bikely has been around for quite some time and puts emphasis on route sharing. Users are prompted to search for routes in their area, upload and share routes. This could be useful if you are looking for something a little more random. As with any community, it's only as good as those who are part of it.\nBikeroutetoaster: Really professional interface and packed full of features. No sign up required before you start plotting. We had some difficulties getting the system to draw a route, but is certainly worth persevering with.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://liyelaretreat.com/","date":"2022-08-09T01:59:13Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570879.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809003642-20220809033642-00292.warc.gz","language_score":0.9073510766029358,"token_count":333,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2022-33","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-33__0__59988235","lang":"en","text":"... where the traditions are embraced and tranquility absorbed.

They are likely to return just as soon as they can find another opportunity.\nBecause they will be treated to some of the finest natural scenery that remains in the world today. Fairbanks, Alaska, remains a popular tourist destination for discerning tourists in the know. These are the tourists who enjoy nothing more than escaping into the wilds and enjoying all the natural splendors, both flora and fauna. Such a natural space will remain popular amongst all the hardy recreational fishermen out there.\nIt could be argued that there will be very few other natural areas in the world, with its own versions of lakes and streams, where indigenous salmon will be, quite literally, hopping mad. They can be tenacious creatures to hook. But in designated areas, the pursuit of wild salmon needs to be guarded owing to the universal challenges of global warming and climate change and its consequential onset of wild species being either threatened or endangered.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://highshelfgaming.com/all-episodes/cyberpunk-night-city","date":"2019-09-18T10:02:16Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514573264.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20190918085827-20190918111827-00072.warc.gz","language_score":0.9507864713668823,"token_count":109,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-39","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-39__0__187731617","lang":"en","text":"Cyberpunk: Night City\nThis week Mike returns to talk with Rich and me about Cyberpunk 2077/2020's primary location: Night City!\nWe had to come back to talk about the history of the city, take a safari and discuss the local wildlife...

Its Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park tells the stories of indigenous Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with music and dance. Cairns Esplanade, lined in bars and restaurants, has a swimming lagoon. Northwest of the city, Daintree National Park spans mountainous rainforest, gorges and beaches.\nTo mix and match of some of the touring experiences that you can book directly yourself, please follow this link: http://www.tropicalnorthqueensland.org.au/things-to-do/\nIf you have a few days to explore the region and surrounds the itineraries allow for stays of 2, 3, 4 and 5 days and aim to provide the first-time visitor with the best overall combination of seeing and experiencing the most essential things to do in Cairns and its surrounds. http://www.tropicalnorthqueensland.org.au/things-to-do/roadtrips/\nIf you want a few ideas of where to start, see below:\n- See the Great Barrier Reef - No trip to Cairns is complete without visiting the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system. It's made up of 3000 coral reefs, 600 continental islands and 300 coral cays. Book a day cruise with operators such as Passions of Paradise or Quicksilver Cruises to snorkel and dive among vivid coral gardens and colourful fish.\n- Daintree Rainforest - The World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest is about two hours drive north of Cairns and can be seen on a day trip from the city or over the course of two days, staying overnight in one of its wilderness lodges.\n- Kuranda - The mountain village of Kuranda is tucked within the tropical rainforest, and is known for its vibrant arts community. Local markets are open daily, selling a range of jewellery, leather goods and Aboriginal art, while bookshops, galleries and boutiques line the village streets. The journey to and from Kuranda is arguably the highlight. The Skyrail Rainforest Cableway glides above the rainforest canopy then descends deep into its heart.\n- Extreme Activities - In Cairns you'll find plenty of activities to get your heart racing. Find some of the best whitewater rafting rapids in Australia on the Tully and Barron rivers or a half day of tubing on the Mulgrave River. Tandem skydives are available for true adrenaline seekers – with aerial views of the Great Barrier Reef an obvious draw – as is bungy jumping at AJ Hackett.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://savashonair.medium.com/how-china-is-fighting-dissent-in-the-uyghur-region-5d219c000787?source=user_profile---------2----------------------------","date":"2022-06-29T19:49:54Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103642979.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20220629180939-20220629210939-00213.warc.gz","language_score":0.9602023959159851,"token_count":883,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2022-27","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-27__0__275722209","lang":"en","text":"How China is Fighting Dissent in the Uyghur Region\nReligious extremism in China is something you’ve never heard about. And here is why. In the Uyghur state of modern China, which is at the northwest of the country, in Xinjian province, more than 380 “re-educational” facilities have been established for the last 3 years. The camps are built for Muslim Chinese, a national minority called Uyghur, who has been living here long ago before the region got controlled by the Chinese government.\nRecently, Alibaba Group, a company which used to belong to “Chinese Zukergberg” Jack Ma, has developed a software, that detects Uyghur in the area. Recognition-as-a-Service has never been used in such a cynical and open way for a manhunt for the last decades of digital government existence.\n维吾尔人 — wéiwú’ěrrén are Turcik speaking people from interior Asia. Their tribes originate in the Altai mountains chain. After migrating through Central Asia, inhabited some Asian republics and finally settled down in Xinjiang, which was controlled by the Han nationality.\nIn the 10th century, almost every Uyghur was a Muslim. And to the 16th one, Islam played an enormous part in the cultural context of the nation. 80% of the Uyghurs still live in Tarim Basin and the other part in Xinjiang, which is now a part of China.\nThe clashes between Hans (the biggest nationality in China) and Uyghurs have been severe for the last four centuries. Big numbers of Han started moving to Xinjiang after the region became autonomous in 1950 when by 1990 the two-fifth of the population was Hans. With time the tensity between the nationalities became huge, the protest and outbreaks occurred often. The last big one happened in 2009 when 200 Hans were murdered and 1700 injured.\nSince 2009 the Chinese government claimed the Uyghurs to be separatists and threw lots of them in jails. The government sets up cameras, checkpoints, and police stations in the Uyghurs’ places of living.\nIn 2017 about a million Uyghurs were sent to political training camps that are guarded and monitored by the police 24/7. It is hard for the Uyghurs to leave Xinjiang, they are monitored closely by the government and lack major human rights on the territory of China.\nCamps for the Uyghurs\nXinjiang province is the first producer of gas in China. The government needs this region to maintain the economy of the country and the inmates of the re-educational camp to provide free and forced labor.\nThe Uyghurs of the camps live under the bars, walk with the guards, and sew T-Shirts for the US market. Some of the Uyghurs who fled the country say that it’s hard to keep in contact with the rest of the family from Xinjiang.\nIn August 2018 United Nations called upon the government to end the prosecution, China rejected that the camps ever existed. But the satellite footage shows the opposite. It is just recently the Chinese government confirmed the existence of the re-education facilities.\nStill, lots of goods, natural resources are produced by imprisoned Uyghurs, and still the US and EU despite the public denunciation, buy them.\nDigital Oppression of the Uyghurs\nHuawei and Megvii, which are Chinese tech giants, at the end of 2020, are testing software produced by Alibaba Group, which offers a facial recognition of the Uyghurs. After being asked for a comment, Alibaba deleted the news.\nThe software is going to be used by the police in video surveillance projects. Every time the software notices an Uyghur, it will give the location to the special police units. Thus they can send men to the location. Also, it will help differ if someone from the minority is live streaming to block the broadcast.\nAs Alibaba has commented on the software deployment: “the system will not be used in the international version of Alibaba Cloud, it is for testing in China only.”","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://hefnerroadanimalhospital.com/blog/dog-parks/","date":"2023-05-31T03:20:22Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224646257.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20230531022541-20230531052541-00000.warc.gz","language_score":0.9618984460830688,"token_count":1618,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-23","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__209590453","lang":"en","text":"Top 10 Dog Parks in Oklahoma City, OK\nWhat would be your dog’s perfect day?

The disease continues to spread throughout the U.S., especially the Midwest where it is having a major impact on the pork industry. It is also known to exist in the northeast including Maryland and Pennsylvania. More and more producers are having their production units devastated and shortages of swine for slaughter are driving up domestic pork prices in supermarkets.\nNo information is currently available as to whether this disease has reached the biomedical research community which is why users of swine must have a biosecurity plan in place for the prevention of PEDv.\nAlthough reporting is voluntary, research institutions should be aware of their sources of swine and inquire as to whether PEDv exists in their herds.\nEqually important, each research institution should have a Biosecurity Program in place to not only protect itself from getting PEDv, but one that helps prevent the spread of the disease within the research institution in the event there are infected swine already present.

There is a lot of disorder in those blocks.\nHeaded north, the 400 block is immediately north of Crutchfield Street (just after you leave the Midlothian Turnpike bridge. Except for the three commercial structures at 400, 402, and 404, the Somerset Glen apartment complex occupies all of the 400 block on both sides of street.\nThe next set of apartments to the north is in the 600 block, which is Ashton Square on the east side.\n(That concrete channel you see winding thru and between the two complexes is Reedy Creek.)\nThe disorder here shows up in the Police Department's IBRS Database. Indeed, it shows much too frequently.\nCaveats: These data change from day to day as RPD updates old cases to reflect further information (e.g., false reports). The data here are as of July 19, 2016. I have deleted the 7,599 (of 45,551) reports where the incident number and offense code are duplicated (those reports typically differ only in some lesser respect).\nFurther Caveats: More annoyingly, RPD a few years ago stopped posting these data by address. Formerly only sex offenses were reported by block; now all the data are. This makes it a bit easier on the Richmond computer system and makes it impossible to know exactly where the crimes are being committed. That is, they have it backwards: They are making it easier for the bureaucrats, harder for the citizens. Because of this, the data must be viewed with some skepticism. For example, a drug bust may take place in a building, on the lawn, or out in the street; these bowdlerized data do not allow us to notice those important distinctions.\nHere, then, from that database, is a graph of the most frequently reported offenses for calendar 2015.\nAnd here is the list of ten blocks with the highest count of offenses reported (with the 15th place block added for neighborhood interest):\nThus, among the \"leaders\" here, you see the apartments in the 400 and 600 blocks of Westover Hills, near our neighborhood, in the company of the (notorious and nearly as nearby) Midlothian Village in the 4000 block of Midlo. Tpk.\nJust for context: There are about 5962 blocks with offenses reported in the database for the year (the \"about\" comes from the way the database reports some addresses). The average block has 5.7 offenses for the year; the median block has 3 reports. Thus, the two \"leaders\" here have over 38 times the average number of offenses reported per block and over 73 times the median.\nA glance at the data reveals some patterns: The commercial areas predominantly report commercial crimes. For instance, 138 of the 220 entries for our Wal-Mart block are shoplifting; another 17 are hit and run, i.e., vehicles whacked in the parking lot. Here is a summary of the top few.\nApartments show two patterns: the RRHA blocks and the 4000 block of Midlothian Turnpike (i.e., the Midlothian Village Apartments), show the drug market pattern: High rates of drug and violent crime and high property destruction rates with relatively lower rates of other property crime (doubtless much of it unreported). For instance, here are the patterns for the 4000 block of Midlo Tpk. and the 1300 block of Coalter (RRHA) for the year:\nThe other apartment pattern shows less drug and violent crime, more property crime. For example, the 000 block of Malvern Ave. (the Malvern Manor Apts.) shows only property crime and hit and run (out in the street or lot?) and a runaway, for a grand total of eight:\nThe apartments on Westover Hills look more like RRHA. First, the 400 block:\nAnd the 600 block:\nThe Good News here is the lower rate of drug offenses; the less good news is the too large numbers of assaults.\nIn the past, a higher rate of property crime on Westover Hills suggested that much of the disorder was imported, i.e., that the apartments there were a target more than a source of disorder. That no longer seems to be the case. In any event, the landlord is the key to preventing the disorder, whether indigenous or exogenous.\nThe apartments in the 400 and 600 blocks are just over Bassett Ave. from the 4th District; they are split between the 5th and 9th Districts, with the Somerset Glen pool in the 8th.\nMr. Agelasto of the 5th has been active and helpful in dealing with the Midlo Village. It would be good to see the same level of interest from Ms. Mosby of the 9th (and, perhaps, Ms. Trammel of the 8th) in focusing these landlords on the need to clean up their acts. Or, still more to the point, perhaps our Civic Association would like to focus some energy on this problem?\n The feds tell us \"(1) that effective property management can have a major impact on the health of a community, and (2) that accessible, legitimate techniques can be used to stop the spread of drug activity on rental property.\"\nIndeed, as to drugs, at least, nuisance abatement is the sole tactic that has been shown scientifically to reduce crime in residential places. The DOJ monograph says: \"With the evidence available we are relatively certain that holding private landlords accountable for drug dealing on their property by threatening abatement reduces drug related crimes.\" Whether as to drug activity or other disorder, the landlord is the only entity that can make the physical changes to the property, evict the troublesome tenants, hire the security, control the access, and enforce the lease terms necessary to make the property safe. Our job as neighbors is to make sure that the landlords take those measures.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://www.10stmarks.co.nz/the-area","date":"2019-12-09T12:26:32Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540518882.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20191209121316-20191209145316-00217.warc.gz","language_score":0.912909209728241,"token_count":298,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-51","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-51__0__113794327","lang":"en","text":"143 metres to the summit, this volcanic peak affords superb views of the Hauraki Gulf, Rangitoto and the city skyline.

The island is located in the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying between Java to the west and Lombok to the east. It is one of the country’s 33 provinces with the provincial capital at Denpasar towards the south of the island. The province covers a few small neighbouring islands as well as the isle of Bali.\nBali is renowned for its diverse and sophisticated art forms, such as painting, sculpture, woodcarving, handcrafts, and performing arts. Balinese percussion orchestra music, known as gamelan, is highly developed and varied. Balinese performing arts often portray stories from Hindu epics such as the Ramayana but with heavy Balinese influence. Famous Balinese dances include pendet, legong, baris, topeng, barong, gong kebyar, and kecak. Bali boasts one of the most diverse and innovative performing arts cultures in the world, with paid performances at thousands of temple festivals, private ceremonies, or public shows. Apart from its rich of culture, Bali is also renowned for its nature. Mountains, beaches, terraced rice fields are one of the main reason for tourist to visit Bali. The most famous beach in Bali is Kuta, located near the airport, stretching to north. This beach also popular among surfer.\nBali has a long chain of history from the ice-age era (pre-historic time) to modern, global civilization era. With a dynamic characteristic indicating selectivity and flexibility, the Balinese culture initially reflects a configuration of an expressive culture dominated by religious, solidarity and aesthetic values. Nowadays, it develops along with the adoption of foreign values especially in the aspects of the economic, science and technology, as a result of the global modernization.\nIn general, the history of Bali is divided into three different eras including the pre-historic, the Hindu-Buddhist era and the modern culture.\nPeople and Life\nBali’s population of over 3,000,000 souls spread over the whole island, including those in the smaller islands of Nusa Penida, Nusa Ceningan, Nusa Lembongan, Serangan and Menjangan Island. The overwhelming majority of Balinese are Hindus, with the increasing number on non-Hindu migrating from the closest neighboring islands of Java and Lombok.\nThe coastal areas in the south are the most populous area with over 370,000 people living in various professions in the capital of Denpasar. Farming has been the primary way of living in Balinese life. Where else fishing, trading and craftsmanship are also in fashion from generation to generation. Yet with the fast growing of tourism since past few decades, young people start to build up a new touch in their living culture.\nLife in Bali is very communal under the organization of villages. Temple ceremonies, marriage, cremation, farming and even the creative art festivals are decided by the local community institution called “Banjar”. The responsibilities in the day-to-day life are normally administered by both the Banjar and the government. The local government mostly responsible for schools, health clinics, hospitals and roads, and Banjar is responsible for all other aspects of life. There is another association exists in the banjar named “Subak” that concerns to the production of rice and organizes the complex irrigation system. Every family who owns a rice field must be a member of their local Subak, which then ensures that every member gets his fair distribution of water. A banjar consists of an average of 50 to 150 family members, owning a meeting venue called the Bale Banjar, which is used for regular gatherings and a center for local gamelan orchestras and drama groups.\nMajor Festivals And Holy Days In Bali:\nGalungan and Kuningan : Ten day festival that takes place every 210 days to celebrate the creation of the universe and the victory of Dharma against evil Adharma. The last day of the celebrations, known as Kuningan, is also the most important and is the Balinese All Saints Day. The entrances to most houses are decorated with bamboo poles (penjor) with coconut leaves and flowers, fruits and other offerings.\nNyepi : Nyepi, (literally, day of silence) is strictly observed on the Island of Bali and is the Balinese new year Icaka, taking place in March or April. It is believed that evil spirits comes to Bali on Nyepi day and Balinese people believe that if it is quiet, evil spirits believe no one is on Bali and will go somewhere else.\nEvening celebrations include a parade of ogoh-ogoh (giant monsters created by the local banjarssymbolising evil spirits) in the streets. Duuring Nyepi day, shops are closed, and activities such as travelling and entertainment are prohibited. The airport and the harbours are closed and television broadcasting is stopped. Police and pecalan (community security patrols) are the only ones on the streets to ensure that people follow the rules.\nMajor events in Bali:\nBali Spirit Festival: Five day festival taking place in Ubud, celebrating cultural and spiritual diversity with yoga, dance and music events. The festival generally takes place in March.\nBali Arts Festival: One month festival held between June and July in Denpasar. The event features local, national and international artists performing traditional Balinese songs and dances. Highlights of the event include dance performances and parades, handicraft exhibitions, cultural events and food stalls.\nBali Kite Festival: Annual four-day event in July in Padang Galak close to Sanur Beach. The festival attracts tourists and kite flyers from around the world and features traditional giant kites. The kites, some measuring four by ten metres, are flown in competitions led by teams from the villages around Denpasar. The event has religious origins, with the intent to send a message to Hindu gods for an abundant harvest.\nBull Races: Bulls are ridden by jockeys around a one track course; races start around 07:00 every Sunday between July and October. The event also features a bull parade and food fairs. Held in Perancak, close to Negara in West Bali.\nSanur Village Festival: Inspired by marine life, this festival includes traditional arts, culture and dance performances, as well as music, water sports and a food festival. On Sanur Beach over five days in August\nNusa Dua Festival: Themed festival, with a different theme each year and featuring dance performances and parades, handicraft exhibitions, art, drama and music. The aim of the festival is to highlight Bali’s rich traditions and culture. The one-week festival takes place in Nusa Dua in August or September.\nKuta Karnival: The Kuta Karnival is a “Community” and “Recovery” initiative of the Kuta Small Business Association (KSBA) for the island of Bali. The Kuta Karnival is officially endorsed by the Indonesian Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry, Government of Bali, Bali Tourism Board (BTB), Government of the Badung Regency. Usually held around September or October\nUbud Writers & Readers Festival: Every October writers from Bali, Indonesia and from around the world gather in Ubud for this annual festival. Each year, the festival has a different theme and includes workshops, special events, book launches and a programme for children.\nBali International Jazz Festival: Jazz enthusiasts and performers from Indonesia and around the world get together for three days every November for this annual jazz event.\nBest Time to Visit Bali\nBali has a tropical climate appropriate to its proximity to the equator. Year round temperatures averaging 31 degrees Celsius. High humidity can be expected during the Wet Season between the months of October – April. The Dry Season between the months of May – September have also the lowest humidity. The Wet Season brings daily rain and quiet overcast days with the most rain recorded between December – February. Occasionally rainfall can also be expected during the dry season but usually at night or very early morning. June – August there is usually a very refreshing cool breeze all day long. The central mountain area is typically cooler than the lower coastal areas mainly especially at night.\nClimate & Weather\nWith sunshine shining throughout the year, Bali has a tropical monsoon climate, with pleasant day temperatures between 20 to 33 degrees Celsius or 68 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit. Rainy season starts from October to March, when the West monsoon brings heavy showers and high humidity. June to September is considered the driest season, with low humidity and it can be fairly cold in the evenings, the best time for any outdoor activities.\nSomething unique can be found about climate in Bali. Even when it rains most times in the most parts of Bali you can often enjoy sunny days on the “Bukit”, the hill south of Jimbaran. On the other hand, you may expect cloudy skies and drips throughout the year in Ubud and the mountainous areas. Most interestingly perhaps, the international weather reports for “Denpasar” or “Bali” mention showers and rain storms all times of the year. In higher regions such as in Bedugul or Kintamani you’ll expect to wear either a sweater or jacket when evening falls.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.naveng.co.uk/","date":"2017-08-17T13:21:00Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886103316.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20170817131910-20170817151910-00002.warc.gz","language_score":0.8938663601875305,"token_count":204,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2017-34","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-34__0__160869535","lang":"en","text":"Dynamic Positioning Systems\nNavigation Engineering Services Ltd has over ten years experience in the design and manufacture of Navigation products for the Dynamic Positioning industry.\nHydrographic Survey Equipment Engineering for Global Clients\nWorking in the North Sea and other locations around the world and listening to our clients needs has given us the confidence to provide new designs of equipment for the Hydrographic survey and dynamic positioning markets, to provide much needed updates for old and existing types.\nLTX1 Laser Scanning\nFor high accuracy range and bearing measurements, try our LTX1 Laser Scanning system.\nThis equipment is designed to be used either standalone or to complement an existing array of dynamic positioning sensors fitted on-board your vessel.\nSubsea Sensor Deployment Frames\nNES Ltd engineers subsea deployment and recovery frames for a variety of uses.\nAll products are available with a variety of invaluable features including:\n- Gyrocompass pitch & roll sensor\n- Acoustic compass\n- ROV handles in various sizes","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://fsquaredmarketing.com/blog/2017/03/17/flying-lucky-lma-2017-attendee-vancouver-weekend-getaway/","date":"2018-03-19T21:56:27Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647153.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20180319214457-20180319234457-00760.warc.gz","language_score":0.92287677526474,"token_count":342,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2018-13","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-13__0__193040448","lang":"en","text":"At fSquared Marketing, we are proud to be headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.

It’s been great to get back to sailing in nice, warm, breezy conditions after some time off, spent at home in Toronto.\nI drove down south two weeks ago with teammate Evert McLaughlin. We had intentions of spending a week training in Charleston, South Carolina along the way, but that was cut down to only two days, since we had a few trailer break downs on our journey. Anyway, it was still nice to check out a new place a get some sailing in before our training block in Florida. We trained with Quique Arathoon (El Savador) and Stefano Paschiera (Peru), they were also nice enough to host us at the house where they live practically right on the College of Charleston campus.\nWhen we got to Clearwater it was business as usual, back to 3-4 hour on-water sessions with our Canadian Team Coach Steve Mitchell. With just four of us in our training group we spent most of the first week working on speed in the heavy winds that were on offer. It’s nice to now have a smaller group on the team. This allows us to make the training a little more focused and personalized. Although we did finished the week with some races where the Canadian Laser Squad also took part. In the first three races I made a few errors that had me trying to catch up for the most part. But after that, the breeze picked up and I was able to win the remaining three races on the day.\nAfter a day off to rest the Norwegian Laser Team arrived and we had them join our small group for a few days. It’s great to train with people from different places, who have different sailing backgrounds. There is always lots to teach and lots to learn. We continued to work primarily on speed, and it’s great to see how each different style works well in different scenarios. On Wednesday we were lucky enough to have a 18 knot North wind which sets up perfectly for an downwind session. We are able to sail south along the coast for 30+ kilometres from Clearwater Beach to Madeira Beach then de-rig our boats and use the coach boat to tow them back up the inner coastal to Clearwater. This not only allows me to work on and refine downwind technique but also makes for a really fun high-speed session.\nThe next three weeks I will be continuing to train here in Clearwater, with lots of on water time and time spent working on fitness both in the gym and on my new road bike. Overall I’m feeling really good and focused, working toward my goal of qualifying for the Pan American Games next summer in Toronto. The qualifier takes place here in Clearwater at the end of February. The top Canadian finisher at the Mid-Winters East regatta gets to represent Canada next summer. Right now nothing would make me happier than being that Canadian representative in my home city. Although the ultimate goal is still of course the Olympics in 2016.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://permacon.ca/en/installer/impact-landscape-contractors-inc/","date":"2023-12-08T13:23:10Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100745.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208112926-20231208142926-00080.warc.gz","language_score":0.9342785477638245,"token_count":92,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-50","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__44096101","lang":"en","text":"Impact Landscape Contractors has been serving the residential and commercial landscape market in the GTA since 1997.

The plan would induce the construction of the cluster of high rise buildings of 17 stories (around 60 m high) to the area within 100m around station square, along the Route 54 and the station side of Chazawa Street. Also, it includes the regulation on the height of building that would be newly constructed, on condition that they have setback in 1st or upper floor. The plan aims to transform the area into high-density, since the area is webbed by alleys and the buildings can't consume 500% plot ratio.\nIn the area of neighboring stations around Shimokitazawa(between Yoyogigahara station and Umegaoka station), Odakyu Line would be transformed into one in underground, with quadruple track and 2 basement floors.On this plan, local trains stop at B1 floor and rapid trains stop at B2 floor.\nFor passengers, it seems more convenient to transit between local and rapid trains if these two trains to same traveling direction stop on one floor. However, the method is not efficient considering neighboring stations. Since local trains stop at the next stations to the Shimokitazawa (Higasi-kitazawa station and Setagaya-daita station), the passengers using the stations have to descend deep into ground to transit. As rapid trains pass through these stations, that seems the reason they decided to have rapid trains run on deeper floor and local trains on shallower floor.\nIt seems most convenient if the 4 lines are on the same floor. But this is not adopted because it would increase the land to purchase. Since the area for underground construction is very short, the plan mainly utilizes open cut method, or method of digging ground from earth surface like excavating a canal.\nThe construction would be completed on 2013.\nKeio Inokashira Line\nKeio-Inokashira line would keep the existing elevated tracks though the station building need to be reformed with the construction work of underground railroad of Odakyu line as the Inokashira line crosses to Odakyu line at the Shimokitazawa station.\nHowever, there's one part that would be changed.\nOn the town development proposal presented by the city of Setagaya, the plot is to remove the land elevation to construct bridge piers and divert the land to road.\nRoute 54(Urban Plan Subsidiary Route 54)\nThe plan of construction of Route 54 together with the construction of quadruple tracks of Odakyu line, is called as \"Successive Cubic Interchange Project\".The oroject basically draws on an urban planning resolution in 1946. After the changes of 6times on the plan, they decided the existing plan that construct the road on ground on February 2003.\nOn the plan, it would pass through the center of the residential area. Also, it would divide the North Arcade of Shimokitazawa area near the Shimokitazawa station, with its width of 26m.\nDistrict Street 10\nThe construction plan of District Street 10 is newly added with urban plan decided on January 2003. It includes constructing rotary for bus terminal and taxi and it would invite cars to the center of the Shimokitazawa where cars barely enter now.\nThe construction of the road is associated with the construction of underground Odakyu line, and would be completed on 2013 or after.\nVacant Lot after Odakyu Line\nThis is the land where there is Odakyu line now and would be left after the construction of underground Odakyu line. Though Tokyo Metropolitan Government present as if they would develop the land into pedestrian path on the report of Successive Cubic Interchange Project, they are reluctant to announce the plan to public.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://exhaustedgeographies.bigcartel.com/product/exhausted-geographies-vol-1","date":"2022-05-25T06:01:12Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662580803.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20220525054507-20220525084507-00126.warc.gz","language_score":0.8897706866264343,"token_count":160,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2022-21","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-21__0__84429462","lang":"en","text":"Exhausted Geographies Vol.I\n$25.00 Sold out\nExhausted Geographies Vol.I is a radical engagement with the politics of representation and map-making in order to explore and produce new ways of seeing and imagining cities in the global south.

After an entertaining feed we went on to watch Avenue Q at the New World Stages Theatre with some uncontrollable laughs!\nFriday saw the students visit Lincoln Centre of Performing Arts, the largest Performing Arts organisation in the world for a guided tour. Students were then given an opportunity to visit Central Park and play on the Heckscher Playground before some retail therapy at Macey’s and surrounding area. We then ate at Planet Hollywood which showcased famous movie memorabilia including the original Annie bucket!\nOn the last day we went on the Staten Island Ferry and saw the Statue of Liberty and the beautiful New York skyline.\nAll students had an amazing time in New York and I know it will be remembered forever.

From the weather to the plants to the animals to the earth and all of its waters, the environment is—in essence—our world. As such, there are many issues that can impact the environment and are commonly discussed in sectors keen on understanding, protecting, and promoting causes related to sustainable environmental practices. In order to understand the conversations around these topics, the following are few of the most common environmental issues that are presenting problems and issues of concern around the globe.\n- Global Warming\nIt is likely that most adults in today’s modern world have heard of global warming. There is no doubt that the climates of our world are changing. Leading scientists in environmental studies are noting that there is an increase in the temperature of the earth that is having devastating problems as it continues to rise. Certain species of animals are being lost as a result of these climactic changes, plant life is being halted, and human beings are seeing small to significant changes in weather patterns. As such, stopping the spread of the causes that are creating said global temperature increases is, arguably, the most common of environmental issues that are impacting the world today. With numerous different initiatives, groups, and educational efforts focuses on halting and even reversing global warming, the data available to understand this trend is growing daily.\n- Animal Preservation\nOne of the biggest environmental issues that is impacting the world’s climactic health is the decimation of animal populations. A single species going extinct can have grave impacts far beyond that said animal. This is because ecosystems are dependent on each member of their “family” to carry out a vital role. For instance, if a predator is eliminated from the face of the earth, the animals that rely on that animal for population control can take over. This can lead to disease, crop damage, and other tremendously bad results. According to Global Issues Magazine, the key to combatting species loss is promotion of biodiversity causes. From groups that support endangered species growth to those that promote sustainable and conscious animal consumption and usage, supporting causes that understand the need for biodiversity are crucial to a healthy environmental picture.\n- Industrialization and the Environment\nAnother common environmental problem that is seeing much focus in today’s world is the role of government in stopping or reducing negative environmental impact in their countries. Specifically, the role of government regulation in relations to environmental issues is taking the forefront of political conversations, especially in industrialized or industrializing countries. While some feel that nations, especially first world countries, have a moral duty to create environmentally friendly policies, others see any interference as an overstep. First world countries are also facing the problem of reducing their global impact while seeing other, economically growing countries continue to put industrial strength over environmental friendliness. As international organizations, NGOs, and other multi-national initiatives increase in their prevalence, the role of government in preservation and conservation regulations is likely to remain a common environmental issue that is fodder for public debate.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://www.edsitement.neh.gov/lesson-plan/aztecs-mdash-mighty-warriors-mexico","date":"2018-12-11T23:02:58Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376823705.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20181211215732-20181212001232-00053.warc.gz","language_score":0.9650430083274841,"token_count":418,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2018-51","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-51__0__156311787","lang":"en","text":"The Aztecs — Mighty Warriors of Mexico\nAll about us we saw cities and villages built in the water, their great towers and buildings of masonry rising out of it…When I beheld the scenes around me I thought within myself, this was the garden of the world.\n—Bernal Diaz del Castillo, Spanish conquistador\nWhen the Spanish conquistador Hernan de Cortes and his army arrived in Tenochtitlan (ten-ohch-teet-LAHN), capital of the mighty Aztec empire, they were amazed by what they saw.

Most North Korean travelers to Asia go to Jiri San which is located in the Haeundae-do. The population of the area is greatly male with only a few women here. Most of the residents listed below are from the countryside, where they are very tough employees. They earn an extremely substantial living from fishing, agriculture, shoe building, and mining.\nThe next largest destination for North Korean residents is Song Won Chul. This area of North Korea may be the center of heavy sector, commerce, and political influence. A lot of people here either reside in large, luxurious apartment complexes or get access to what’s called “soft jobs” such as for example secretarial work and small level farming. Of course, there is the big prison camps for political prisoners, like Camp No’omi in Hanyang-carry out and Camp Chong Suki in Chololkae. There are also the Worker’s College in Ryungchon and the gulag prison in Cholsan. The ladies listed below are typically from the countryside and so are frequently forced to marry Japanese adult men to work in the factories.\nThe third and final major vacation spot for North Korean defectors may be the celebrated Jeju Island. A peninsula off the coast of Japan, it really is known worldwide as the home of the world famous Samsung Group and its own headquarters. A popular site for defectors may be the Samjiyon Casino which is a sister owned casino to the planet famous Samsung Building. It really is open to all and has excellent slots and poker machines. Actually, you will discover the slots to function as greatest in the island.\nThe places of Kaesong, Sokcho, and Jeju all sponsor many of the most popular casinos in the country together with others that focus on westerners. In Kaesong you will discover the favorite Baekdudaegan, the Lotte Consort, and the Sokcho Megadroid. These three casinos accept North Korean defectors’ money and also have live dealers who hand out bonus and high roll cards combinations. They do not use the same create as those in the larger metropolitan areas.\nNumerous defectors elect to play their money at an inferior scale within their home country before making the decision to go to South Korea or america to play within their favorite casino. This is the very common practice and does happen, but there are specific advantages to utilizing an established casino that is based in one of these countries. For one, you will have a casino’s” Koreans” logo on the ATM machine, that may help with the customer’s 1st instinct of aiding the defector. Also, if the casino is located within quick access to the international airport the probability of getting caught will be nominal.\nSmall and more personal casinos don’t allow outside participants to gamble. These casinos are often located inside of large integrated hotels or restaurants. The theory is for these establishments to do something as a one stop store where the players can get almost all their gaming needs while they’re in town. As 파라오카지노 of at this time, these smaller casinos are still very new and some of these cannot survive without outside financing. Even so, as these video gaming bays expand they might be able to attract a few of the big names in gaming. This could mean even better incentives for defectors, or it could mean more job chances for residents once these gaming companies get bigger.\nWeb sites operating overseas gambling establishment online have another advantage over smaller or locally owned casinos. These websites don’t necessarily need the authorization of South Korea or the United States government to be able to operate in either of the countries. This is because they’re based outside the legal jurisdiction of these countries and are therefore not subject to the same taxes that the real-entire world casinos are. These sites have a number of games available. Many of the most popular include poker, blackjack, slot machines, and bingo. Which means that gamers from any portion of the world can enjoy the games that they like regardless of what period or night it is.\nWhether players are looking to play in Seoul internet casino online or find a website with an offshore gambling license within their home country, they will quickly find that there are many games available to them. These sites allow individuals to try any number of games without fretting about losing any money. Players from any portion of the world can have fun playing these video games and win a little bit of money while they are at it. The fact that this type of gambling is available anywhere in the world helps it be a favorite among retirees that are looking to create a little money in their free time while they continue to job.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://ancestraldeeds.co.uk/a-tale-of-two-halls-part-2/","date":"2024-02-23T03:14:28Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474360.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223021632-20240223051632-00893.warc.gz","language_score":0.965087890625,"token_count":1456,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2024-10","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__188905256","lang":"en","text":"A Tale of Two Halls, part 2 – read part 1 here\nThe structure known since the early nineteenth century as Brearley Hall is in fact the younger of the two, having absorbed both the title and legend of the elder via custom and practice. This may be a chance legacy of its most recent famous resident, Dr John Fawcett, and the power of advertising in the form of the surviving notices for his 1776 Academy, which trained young men for the Particular Baptist Ministry. After the Brearley Estate was sold to the Rochdale Canal Company in 1795, Dr Fawcett moved his school to Ewood Hall, where it continued until 1835, compounding the capacity for future confusion, since the original, latterly known as Brearley Old Hall, was built c.1600 by the then owners of Ewood.\nAttempts to separate the two buildings using modern sources proved impossible, until the discovery of a scholarly article in the journal of the Halifax Antiquarian Society written by Tom Sutcliffe in 1922, which itself appears to have become as little known as his subject. Sutcliffe cites Dr Whittaker’s Loidis and Elmete as distinguishing Brearley Hall, ancient seat of the Lacies, from (Upper) Brearley, formerly known as Little Brearley Hall, standing on the summit of a hill accessed by the turnpike road, and coincidentally occupied by a prior Thomas Sutcliff in 1841 according to its census entry, whose original return is held amongst the vast collection of The National Archives of the U.K.:\n1841 England Census [database on-line at Ancestry.co.uk]\nLoidis and Elmete describes Lower Brearley as the site of a farmhouse at the bottom of a hill, near the fifth milestone from Halifax. Subsequent writers ignored the distinction, confusing the two buildings and ascribing the ancient pedigree to the wrong site – a misattribution that largely persists today. Even the excellent Brearley Old Hall, Brearley in the parish of Midgley webpage, which recognises the existence of two halls, conflates their residents: “In the early 1800’s ‘Upper Brearley Hall’ (erected 1621) was used as a private school run by a Dr. John Fawcett (d. 1817 at Ewood Hall). Later in 1841 Branwell Bronte, the brother to the Bronte sisters of Haworth lodged here at Brearley Hall”, citing Dr Juliet Barker’s family biography The Brontës and the 1841 census as its sources, though the conflation is its own.\nLittle Brearley Hall, later Upper Brearley, now Brearley Hall\nPlate XVI from Views of Ancient Buildings in the Parish of Halifax by John Leyland, 1879\nBrearley was the seat of the Soothill family, Lords of the Manor of Midgley during the 14th century, its site afterward associated with Brearley Milne (a corn mill) and the western part of Brearley Woods. Both title and property passed to the Lacys following the marriage of Isabell, daughter and heiress of Gerard Soothill of Brearley, to Gilbert, second son of John Lacy of Cromwell Bottom. It is this originally timber structure which is mentioned in Holinshed’s 1587 Chronicles:\nThere is a noble water that falleth into Air, whose head (as I take it) is about Stanford. From whence it goeth to Creston chappell, to Lingfield, and there about receiuing one rill neere Elfrabright bridge, and also the Hebden by northwest, it goeth to Brearleie hall, and so taking in the third by north, it proceedeth on eastward by Sorsbie bridge chappell (and there a rill from southwest) and so to Coppeleie hall. (The first and second volumes of Chronicles, p. 95)\nSir John Lacy sold his title and its seat in 1599 to his friend and political ally Henry Farrar, who had inherited the Ewood estate from his father William in 1573; Henry then sold the Midgley properties to his brother John, who is credited with erecting both Ewood’s and Brearley’s first stone Halls, the latter prominently marked on John Speed’s map of 1610, its position added below to the more basic Map of Yorkshire included in his publication of John Blaeu’s atlas of England the following year, in observance of copyright:\nOld Brearley Hall still retains its original stone-mullioned windows and huge oak beams, as well as a decorated lintel bearing the inscription TSW 1638 (for Timothy and Sarah Wadsworth, to whom John Farrar’s son and daughter-in-law, William and Frances Farrar of Ewood, leased Brearley Milne in 1656) and a keystone carved with the date 1678, commemorating later alterations. Historic England has granted Brearley Old Hall Grade II listed status; its website dates rebuilding of the front façade to the late 19th century, while ascribing its original construction to the Wadsworths in 1636.\nBrearley Hall, later Lower Brearley, now Brearley Old Hall\nPhotographic postcard by Rawson of Mytholmroyd, date-stamped 1907\nOne of the strongest arguments in the case for Old Brearley being the Hall in which Patrick Branwell Brontë lodged is its consistently documented life as a farm – his landlord James Clayton’s occupation having been recorded as Farmer in 1841. Sutcliffe references S. R. Clarke’s 1822 Yorkshire Gazeteer, which places the ancient Mansion of Brearley Hall in a low situation, originally the seat of the Lacies, now a farmhouse [my bold italics] – not to be confused with the house now called Brearley Hall on the summit of the hill. Upper Brearley may have usurped the title of Brearley Hall on most official documents by 1841, but Lower/Old Brearley was still referred to by its original moniker within the local community through the mid-19th century. Its size and situation appear well suited to a tenant farmer and his extended adult family, who may have been well-off financially as Dr Barker suggests, but clearly still welcomed the supplementary income generated by a single lodger, coincidentally the son of a respected successor to Revd. William Grimshaw, who himself lay buried in the Church of St Mary the Virgin in nearby Luddenden village, in whose grounds so many of my ancestors were interred from the late 17th century until they were closed for burial by Act of Parliament in 1853.\nPATRICK BRANWELL BRONTË\nd. 24 Sept. 1848","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://nisenanheritageday.org/art/TeighlorAnderson.html","date":"2021-04-12T03:43:27Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038066568.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20210412023359-20210412053359-00016.warc.gz","language_score":0.9662744998931885,"token_count":138,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2021-17","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-17__0__201840566","lang":"en","text":"I grew up near the headwaters of the Mississippi River and after following a calling to SE Alaska, Kauai, and the coastal Redwoods I decided to settle near the Yuba River in Nisenan Territory.

It is, in many respects, a unique ancient cemetery located in the Western Thebes. What is the Valley made of? It is formed by two rock gorges that cut through the mountain massif.\nThere you can find over 63 tombs that belong to the Egyptian lords who once ruled the ancient world. Have in mind that visiting Valley of the Kings also enables a visit the tomb of Tutankhamen or Ramses the Great. Of course, this is not the only location worth seeing. Many people also willingly visit Luxor, the Temple of Hatshepsut, Alexandria, and Cairo – that is the capital of this African state. It is definitely worth planning the trip properly beforehand. You can do it yourself or with the help of professionals.\nSpecialists know how to organize everything in terms of logistics so that there is no shortage of attractions. Of course, you can also opt for less active holiday – for example for the relaxation on beautiful, sand-covered beaches. Everything really depends on your decision – there are certainly plenty of choices. Everyone can choose the solutions that suit them. www","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.duboisrec.com/content/youth-tour","date":"2019-06-25T18:49:06Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999876.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625172832-20190625194832-00212.warc.gz","language_score":0.9134442210197449,"token_count":217,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-26","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-26__0__54292792","lang":"en","text":"What is the Rural Electric Cooperatives Youth Tour to Washington D.C?\nEvery June, as many as 1,500 high school students from across the country spend a week in the nation's capital as part of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Youth Tour.

The burial mounds on the sandy heath are an atmospheric place where one can still sense the power they signified over a thousand years ago. The Sutton Hoo treasure found in one of the mounds in 1939 in a ship burial is one of the glories of the British Museum. Its beautifully worked gold, silver and jewelled objects shed a startling new light onto Saxon life and culture.\nI have visited Sutton Hoo several times. Each time I am touched by its special atmosphere and each time I have learnt more about its history from the permanent and changing exhibitions. During one visit I went on a guided tour led by a volunteer guide. Some of her words return to me every time I think of Sutton Hoo. She said ‘We owe what we see before us to three very special women, three widows’.\nThe first of these women was the widow of Raedwald, a Saxon king who died around 625. The ship burial with the Sutton Hoo treasure is believed to be his last resting place. Raedwald is believed to have converted to Christianity in about 600 – probably for political reasons, for when he returned to his kingdom in East Anglia his wife persuaded him not to desert the old gods entirely. He built a temple with two altars – one to Christ and one to the pagan gods. When he died his widow gave him a pagan burial with the beautiful grave goods he would need in the after life and burial in a ship showing his power in this life. So we owe the treasure in the British Museum to this woman. If Raedwald had had a Christian burial there would have been no ship burial and no grave goods.\nThe second woman in this tale is Edith Pretty. Over a thousand years later in 1939 Edith Pretty was the owner of the Sutton Hoo estate. At that time she was still grieving following the death of her husband. She had always been curious about the mounds on her land and she asked a local historian Basil Brown to investigate them. This put in train the archaeology that led to the amazing discovery of the ship burial and the Sutton Hoo treasure. In an act of great generosity Mrs Pretty gave the treasure to the nation so that all might enjoy it. For this gift she was offered an honour by the Prime Minister Winston Churchill. An honour which she declined.\nThe third woman is Mrs Annie Tranmer. Also a widow, she too owned the Sutton Hoo estate and on her death in 1998, in another act of great generosity, the burial mounds and the whole estate were given to the National Trust according to her wishes. The house on the estate which had been built in 1910 is now known as Tranmer House and is open to the public as is the whole of Sutton Hoo.\nSo to these three women we owe the creation of the treasure and public ownership both of the treasure itself and the special place that is Sutton Hoo.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://gravitropic.net/2013/07/08/being-connected-is-liberating-duh/","date":"2023-03-28T17:43:52Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296948868.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20230328170730-20230328200730-00535.warc.gz","language_score":0.9722565412521362,"token_count":385,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-14","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-14__0__9260665","lang":"en","text":"We’re just back from a quick road trip, a micro-vacation to explore nearby Cleveland. We visited the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the Great Lakes Science Center. I’ll write a little more about those later, but I wanted to capture my initial impressions of my first connected road trip, by which I mean one with an iPhone and a data plan.\nIn a word, it was liberating. Not having to nail down all of our plans in advance, we could be more flexible and adapt to the energy level of the kids. This is another way of saying we could be ourselves and pretty much make things up as we went along.\nHaving turn-by-turn navigation was huge, and Google Maps was outstanding. I used Apple’s Maps to start, but after giving Google Maps a try, I stayed with it. My stress level was noticeably lower knowing I didn’t have to figure out where to turn to get back to the highway from the museums. There were a few little, tricky turns that I never would’ve found without the help.\nI quickly found a great little pocket of restaurants to choose from near the hotel, including a Thai place and a Lebanese cafe, where we ended up eating.\nOf course, none of this is impossible without a connected phone. I know I’m late to this party, too, having settled for iPods and iPads until I could get an iPhone on my terms, not those of a carrier. Knowing we would be traveling this month, I paid for a month of data, and will likely return to a minimal plan next month.\nInteresting to note that, even when using it as the impulse struck, I only consumed about 18 MB for the whole trip. I could probably get by on the 500 MB data plan and still get a lot of value when we travel.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://www.tecno-ricambi.it/a-schmidt-invention-for-eternity/","date":"2024-04-14T02:51:40Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816863.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414002233-20240414032233-00619.warc.gz","language_score":0.9755491614341736,"token_count":916,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2024-18","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__180805008","lang":"en","text":"Schmidt is celebrating its 100-year anniversary. How did the car repair workshop from the Black Forest in Southern Germany develop into a global player in mechanical engineering for mission-critical infrastructure? And what comes next? Throughout the year, we will be presenting you with a few gems from our archives, as well as looking ahead to the next 100 years. We will start by travelling back in motion picture to 1963 and 2,469 metres above sea level on the Great St. Bernhard Pass.\nThe Great St. Bernhard Pass connects Valais in south-western Switzerland to the Aosta Valley in Italy. The pass also gives its name to a well-known dog breed, the St. Bernard, which has become generally known as a rescue dog and whose breeding history at the Great St. Bernard Hospice dates back to the 17th century. Even before the first road tunnel crossing the Alps through the Great St. Bernhard was opened in 1964, Alfred Schmidt junior, son of the eponymous company founder, celebrated a world premiere on the pass, which significantly influenced snow removal technology through to the present day.\nThe origins of the story of this world premiere lie even further back, in 1953. In that year, Alfred Schmidt launched his first VF1 snow cutter shortly after completing his engineering degree. With a drive output of 85 hp, attached to a Unimog with far less horsepower, large amounts of snow could be cleared at a speed that was revolutionary at the time. Large amounts do not necessarily mean at great depth, however, and it was this that kept Alfred Schmidt working tirelessly. It took a few years before he finally demonstrated to the public in Lech, Austria, in 1959 how his technology could also be used to cut excess. Excess depths refer to snow depths that are deeper than the cutting height. At that time, such excess depths could only be removed using hand shovels and a lot of manpower. The cutting system developed by Schmidt facilitated snow removal which, in addition to reducing effort and the risk of accident, also meant that passes could be reopened earlier. As mentioned above, the first road tunnel connection followed a year later, but passes remained the norm for many routes. Other road tunnels through the Alps such as the San Bernardino, Arlberg, Gotthard and Karawanks tunnels only followed years and decades later. Furthermore, the earlier opening of the passes was a particular blessing for the places with a tunnel connection because it partially compensated for the reduced tourism caused by the tunnel.\nAlfred Schmidt’s invention has undergone continuous technological improvement since then, but it is still the basis of modern cutting technology today. To offer a simplified explanation: the cut stem is raised mechanically at a low speed so that it can be used to cut a sort of ramp, which in turn lifts the vehicle so that the snow mass can be cleared away. The snow cutter must then be reset and the process repeated until the road is fully cleared. In the years following the first demonstration, Alfred Schmidt optimised the technology – primarily the weight distribution of the snow cutter and the force distribution on the towing vehicle. The breakthrough as well as the world premiere were celebrated in 1963 on the Great St. Bernhard Pass. Even at that time, this was documented on film, which we’re delighted to share with you here:\nThe large snow cutters of today not only deliver up to seven times greater drive output, but also offer state-of-the-art, comfortable work spaces and impressive throwing distances of around 40 metres. In 1963, this was still inconceivable. The largest and most powerful Supra models of today are not direct successors of the VF1 since they are self-driving. However, they still share some characteristics: they were both developed for use with large amounts of snow and there is plenty of unique Black Forest ingenuity in them.\nCompare them for yourself. Here is a video of the latest Supra.\nOn 4 April 2020, Alfred Schmidt passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in the Black Forest, just a few weeks after his 97th birthday. Together with his family, we mourn the loss of a person whose dedication and commitment not only significantly shaped and developed our company, but also impacted winter service technology across the world with his typical Black Forest tinkering and ingenuity. We will always honour his memory and will celebrate his accomplishments in more detail throughout our anniversary articles.\nGeneral, 100, 100 years, anniversary, Great St Bernhard, Snow cutter, Supra","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://www.fitnesslabs.com/where-to-buy","date":"2023-06-06T07:16:27Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224652235.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20230606045924-20230606075924-00335.warc.gz","language_score":0.8548151254653931,"token_count":251,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-23","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__291636406","lang":"en","text":"CLICK HERE TO VISIT STORE\nWhere to Buy\nFitness Labs products are available at PipingRock.com or by phone at 800-544-1925.

But who hasn’t had a dream of driving up the Pacific Coast? Here’s my advice for the best road trip ever, singing “Californiaaaaa, here we comeeeee” the whole ride.\nDay 1: LOS ANGELES | BEACHES\nFly into LAX & rent a red hot convertible (or Jeep Wrangler…whichever is your style). Drive around the LA area and spend your afternoon into evening strolling down the Santa Monica pier and the Venice Beach Boardwalk. Don’t be scared to grab some incredible grub from a food truck!\nDay 2: LOS ANGELES | HOLLYWOOD\nSoak in being a tourist: do a little shopping on Rodeo Drive, take a hike up to the Hollywood sign, drive down Sunset Boulevard past the Walk of Fame, and maybe even get a peak into the world of Universal Studios. Spend your evening at LACMA getting lost in the lights!\nDay 3: SANTA BARBARA\nEnjoy the 1.5 hour drive from LA to Santa Barbara with a stop for lunch in Malibu or Ventura. By the time you get to Santa Barbara you’ll be ready for a Happy Hour sunset on the beach. Don’t skip out on exploring the downtown restaurants and bars either!\nDay 4: SAN LUIS OBISPO\nIt’s back on the road to enjoy more scenic views from the Pacific Coast Highway. Drive another 1.5 hours to the wonderful (under rated) town of San Luis Obispo. Find one of the many intimate cottages to rent in the mountains and spend the afternoon wine testing on a family-run vineyard.\nDay 5: THE ROAD TO BIG SUR\nThis will be your longest day in the car, but it will also be the most rewarding. On your 3 hour drive to Big Sur, make sure to make plenty of pit stops on the way-the views will be incredible! Go for a walk in Cambria, tour the Hearst Castle and view Elephant Seals in San Simeon, soak in the views at Ragged Point, and make it to Big Sur by sundown.\nYour night in Big Sur will be your most adventurous of the trip (unless you spend every weekend naked in a hot springs with strangers?) That’s right, you will be spending the night in the Esalen Hot Springs, hanging over a cliff and watching the moon fade into the Pacific Ocean. Make sure to make your reservation in advance, as this exotic experience has a large fanbase.\nDay 6: THE ROAD TO SAN FRANCISCO\nLast day in the car to jam out to the RHCP singing Californication (and finally understand what it means). Enjoy some brunch in the town over from Big Sur, Carmel-by-the-Sea. This quaint cottage town has breathtaking beach views and lots of great eateries. Slowly meander up the coast, stopping for whatever may peak your interest-The Monterey Aquarium? Gilroy: the garlic capital of the world? A quick bike tour of the infamous Google Campus? The options are endless!\nOnce in San Francisco, you will no longer need your car, as you will quickly find out! Finding a place to stay is easy, but finding a great (and affordable) place can be a little more difficult.

The flows get slightly lower on account of diversions in Nevada although the river is still in excellent shape all the way via Reno.\nThe East Walker River is in really bad form.

Almost everything from the Wonder Mile every one of the way right down to the Elbow has become fishing very well, possibly not like it did a lot of many years back but undoubtedly well worth the effort!\nThere remain an abundance of shorelines closed a result of the floods in January and it seems as if we may well not see to several extra openings this fishing season.

The indicator bite has become seriously hard. The fish which can be in near ample to catch from shore seem to want some thing shifting of course. When you are going to the lake sometime shortly be sure to provide your taking pictures head and expend nearly all of your time and effort utilizing it. White Ghost Loco Tadpoles have quickly been our greatest fly for big fish. Black Wooly Buggers are actually catching fish as well but it seems the White Tadpole is attracting all the large fish.\nIndividuals chances are getting to be farther and less between mainly because of diverse factors and several currently being the removal of Trout which have been deemed invasive to our location waters.

The first alignment will be Mars-Venus-Jupiter at 4:24 UTC. The second alignment will be Venus-Mars-Uranus at 11:57 UTC. Earth will be very close to these alignments as it will be within 0°38' of the Jupiter-Uranus resonance vector. This will become apparent in the following days when Earth lines up with the aforementioned planets except Venus.\nThe convergence of alignments on the 24th may initially cause higher 6 to 7 magnitude seismic events on the planet on the 24th and 25th.\nOn the 25th Jupiter, Mars and Uranus will reach their alignment at 10:27 UTC. Venus and Earth will be very close to this alignment:\n- Venus relative to Mars-Jupiter: 0°45'59\"\n- Venus relative to Mars-Uranus: 0°42'15\"\n- Venus relative to Jupiter-Uranus: 0°14'52\"\n- Earth relative to Mars-Jupiter: 1°11'44\"\n- Earth relative to Mars-Uranus: 1°04'44\"\n- Earth relative to Jupiter-Uranus: 0°30'37\"\nWhile the possibility of increased seismic activity continues, with the potential of an 8+ magnitude earthquake between the 24th and 27th according to the Earth Harmonics involved, a New Moon and Solar Eclipse on the 26th at 14:31 UTC may initially prevent seismic activity to go over low 7 magnitude.\nThen, on the 27th Earth itself will be involved in two alignments, first with Mars and Uranus at 0:12 UTC and then with Mars and Jupiter at 14:05 UTC. As a result, increased seismic activity over 6 magnitude is likely to continue on the 28th and into March.\nUndoubtedly, the most critical time-frame will be the first week of March, because of the multiple alignments in the previous week and the highly critical convergence of Earth’s alignments with Jupiter and Uranus as well as with the Sun and Neptune on 2 March.\nOn 2 March Earth will line up first with the Sun and Neptune at 2:45 UTC. Only a few hours later at 6:22 UTC the Sun will have its second alignment, with Mercury and Venus. Then, at 23:48 UTC Earth also lines up with Jupiter and Uranus, which significantly adds to the possibility of a high 7 magnitude earthquake between the 1st and 3rd of March.\nMore amplified resonances will be added by Mercury from 2 to 7 March when the planet will be part of four alignments, three of which involve the Sun and one involving the Earth and Neptune on the 4th. In this time-frame the Moon reaches first quarter on the 5th growing to full on the 12th, which will add more tension to Earth’s crust.\nAs stated, on the 4th Earth lines up with Mercury and Neptune at 11:03 UTC. This is the third alignment of Earth with a gas giant within only 36 hours. This significantly raises the potential for an 8+ magnitude earthquake between the 4th and 8th, possibly triggering a coastal event.\nFollowing Earth’s critical alignments, around 7 March the Moon will be influenced by multiple resonance vectors, most notably the powerful Jupiter-Uranus resonance, while Earth lines up with the Sun and Mercury, followed by Venus-Mercury-Neptune early on the 8th.\nIn all, there will be twelve planetary alignments in only two weeks, from 24 February to 8 March. This is similar to the fifteen planetary alignments last December causing a seismic increase with three large 7 magnitude earthquakes.\nThe convergence of planetary alignments in this time-frame has the potential of producing large earthquakes well over 7 magnitude with the highest probability of a great earthquake (8 to 9 magnitude) and tsunami from 4 to 8 March.\nCopyright © 2017 Ditrianum.

We are enormously proud of the diversity reflected in our student population and community.\nWe are also very proud of our name, Reremoana School, and what it represents. Reremoana is a significant figure in local Maori history. She was the wife of Maori chief Wirihana Takanini - who both the Takanini and Wiri areas are named after - and she is the mother of ‘Reremoana Mahia’. Reremoana Mahia's name is reflected in the naming of Mahia Road and Mahia Creek. Translated, Reremoana means ‘waters flowing to the sea’. The symbolism of water flowing to the sea relates beautifully to our school and community preparing children (the water), for their journey out into the world (the sea).\nIn 2024 our teams were rebranded to both align with new curriculum phases, and also to better align with our name. Te Puna, Te Awa, Te Moana illustrate a child’s journey through our kura. We were also given a precious taonga from one of our parents, Wiremu Manaia, in the form of a whakatauaki (proverb), that brings the journey together:\n“Na te puna ko te awa. Na te awa ko te moana. Ka rere te moana, he ara ki te ao.” Reremoana Kura.\n“From the spring comes the river. From the river comes the sea. The sea flows as a pathway to the world.” Reremoana School.\nThe unique architectural design of the school’s original footprint is symbolic of a kite, and is representative of a local Maori legend about two brothers, Tama Pahore and Tama Pahure, having a kite flying competition. This symbolism has been incorporated in a number of ways at the school, including our school’s Learning Model. Over the years kites have been made and flown to represent this important aspect of our school, and recalling and retelling the legend it is based on is also a regular feature.\nOur school opened February 7 2006, with 10 classroom spaces and a roll of 120 students. Since then we have had two new builds, a re-cladding of our original buildings and the addition of a modular classroom space and now have 20 classroom spaces, which operate as collaborative hubs.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://twomamasmayhem.co.uk/our-top-10-things-to-do-with-the-kids-in-dorset","date":"2021-01-23T06:59:02Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703536556.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20210123063713-20210123093713-00153.warc.gz","language_score":0.9625352621078491,"token_count":1816,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2021-04","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-04__0__268900255","lang":"en","text":"We both have two girls aged 2 and 8 years so we know how hard it is to keep the kids entertained, especially throughout the school holidays! Here’s our TOP TEN PICKS on places to go with the kids in our local area of Dorset….\nMoors Valley Country Park We come to this place all year round since there are loads to do and it’s great having everyone out in the fresh air! We usually start the day with the Play Trail which is a great walk, filled with wooden play equipment located all over the forest (you might even lose the kids in here if you’re lucky haha!!). I would say it takes approx 2 hours to get through the whole lot…..depending on the mood of your children. My kids often build camps as there are logs everywhere for them to use, so great for some fun with friends. Be prepared, the park area can get super busy if the suns out!\nThere’s also lots of other things to do such as the Cycle Trail, Sand Park, Fitness trail, Go Ape and also a Cafe… Not forgetting the authentic steam train !\nCOST: There is no entry fee to the park only a parking fee which in the summer the price is quite high at £7.50 for 1 to 2 hours. If you think you will go a few times it’s definitely worth getting the car park season ticket which is £50 for the year.\nWeather permitting you can rent a self-drive motor boat on an hourly basis to take down the river. So grab a take away coffee and drive up the river with the kids, they will love it.\nAt Tuckton Tea Gardens there is also a small crazy golf and a pretty garden with Picnic tables where you can sit and grab an ice cream.\nCOST of Boat trip:\n- £20 for half hour\n- £30 for an hour\nWe have been coming here for years even before the kids. There is a cycle path which takes you around the head and is great for scooters and bikes… this takes you around to Mudeford spit around the nature reserve where your met at the end with some beautiful brightly coloured beach huts …although we do get Beach Hut envy walking past these!\nA great day out is to catch the land train which goes from the Hungry Hiker Cafe to the end of the spit. There is also a delightful restaurant ‘Beach House‘ situated on the harbour side of the sand pit which has great seafood and other delicious food on the menu, but I would advise you to book in the summer months since it always gets very busy. There is also a beach cafe/shop which is only open in the summer months where you can buy all your beach necessities, they also offer a selection of hot and cold food/drinks and ice creams. Fab day out if it’s lovely and sunny, don’t forget your buckets and spades…..\n- £2 per Adult\n- 60p for a child\n- Children under 3’s are FREE\n4. Kington Lacy National Trust\nWe joined the national trust last year for £10 a month, you can visit all their historic buildings around the UK which most of them are now geared up for kids with fun things to do.\nAt Kingston Lacy there are some beautiful grounds and woodland trails surrounding the Kingston Lacy House. My girl’s love The Kitchen Gardens, which are a short walk from the main house. There is also a play park with ride-on tractors for the kids and of course an ice cream shop….\nTIP: Remember to bring cash as they don’t accept card. They also do lots of seasonal activities there such as the Easter Egg trail which is a favourite with the kids.\nCOST: £10 monthly fee to join for a family pass!\nOR: £13.60 for a Single Adult Ticket, £6.80 Child Ticket\nWe love this place and especially the Pirate Park! You have the ringos and ski bobbing for the older kids (3 years plus), and there is a lovely big open park at the bottom of the woodland area called the Alpine Adventure park. There are lots of large picnic tables so you can sit and (try to) relax while the kids play around you. They have an overhead cable ride, slides, trampolines and of course the Pirate Ship which you can also hire for birthday parties.\n- Park £2.60 per adult but you get a FREE drink voucher with this.\n- Child £3.95\n6. Monkey World\nThis is located in Wareham, about a 40 min drive from Bournemouth, depending on traffic!\nIt’s a great place for the kids if the monkeys are in a good mood…:) There are also parks dotted around for the kids with picnics tables to stop and have some lunch or a quick pit stop before moving on to the next area.\n- Family Ticket 2 adults 2 children £38\nThis Farm is located out near Wimborne, it’s not as big as Farmer Palmers but that’s why we like it as its spacious and is all in one big field. The kids LOVE visiting the animals, especially as they can have a cuddle with the rabbits. Also, there is a bumpy tractor ride which takes you over the meadows, this is £1 per person. The park is a great place to stop as again it has lots of picnic tables which are located in the middle of the field so you can watch the kids play around you.\n- Babies under 2 years – FREE\n- Toddlers 2-3 years – £5.95\n- Over 3 years – £7.45\n- Adults – £7.40\nLocated in Christchurch…..We are never keen really on in-door play centres but since we live in England and our weather is so unpredictable we do sometimes have to give in and let the kids run riot inside with hundreds of other kids. But as for indoor play centres Monkey madness has to be our favourite since its light and airy and very safe for the kids since its gated around the play areas. It also has a dedicated area for under 4s. Since we have 8-year-olds and 2-year-olds it works quite well as there is plenty to do for both ages – there is a huge 4 lane astra slide into a ball pit, a spiral tube slide, aerial runway, tunnels, obstacles. They also have plenty of comfy sofas, tables and chairs to go round so that you can relax and have a coffee whilst the children have lots of fun! on a rainy day be prepared for it to be busy !!\n- Babies FREE\n- Aged 1-2 £3\n- Aged 3 £4.50\n- Aged 4-9 £5.50\n- 9+ £6.50\n- Adults £1.50\n9. NEW FORSET\nNOW this is more like it… a humungous field with lots of wild horses surrounding you and a bat and a ball to play a game of rounders with! There are so many open spaces in the New Forest to set yourself up for the day, streams with river swings and open land to set yourself up with a picnic blanket. Most car parks in the summer also have an ice-cream van too. Our favourite spot is Wilverley Plain enclosure which has a BBQ spot, toilets and an empty field opposite.\nWilverley barbecue is also available to hire for large parties and family get-togethers. Freestanding barbecues are permitted here providing they are not of the disposable kind.\nThere are so many lovely forest pubs to pop into on your way home. Our favourite is the White Buck in Burley, it has a lovely garden area and a park situated at the back.\n10. THE BEACH\nYes, this place is our favourite and the best thing about coming here is it’s FREE!!!! We visit the beach come rain or shine…. We are lucky to have miles of golden sandy beaches on the South Coast so we want to make the most of it as much as possible! We have so many good memories from days at the beach and hopefully many more to come. Our favourite day out is to walk down from either Southbourne or Boscombe Pier, then carry on walking on to Bournemouth Pier (lots of pitstops), catch the land train back and then have a BBQ (summer time) on the beach in the evening (after 6 pm) with our friends and family! Great way to spend a day/evening and the kids love it!\nThanks so much for reading our blogs.

That’s why it’s important to have a durable and efficient heating system in your home. Traditional furnaces and boilers can provide you and your family with the warmth needed to survive and thrive even in the harshest of winters. While furnaces and boilers are more popular means of heating one’s home, there are more natural ways to bring heat into your house. In today’s blog, Comfort Solutions, the best heating company in Southwestern Montana, will be going over geothermal heating as well as some of the benefits it can bring you and your family.\nGeothermal heating is utilizing geothermal energy provided by the Earth. This kind of heating isn’t new as humans have harnessed the power of the Earth since the Paleolithic era around 2.6 million years ago. Things like natural gas, hot springs, and more have been used for centuries to help warm human kind. In the 21st century, humans can use the Earth to heat their homes like never before. While the surface of Earth may be cold depending on the weather and time of year, simply digging about 20 ft below the surface can give you the heat you need to warm your home.\nThe ground contains warmth from radioactive decay of minerals as well as absorption of solar energy. Combine this with undisturbed ground temperature, which is equal to the mean annual air temperature, and you can have a natural way to heat your home throughout the coldest parts of the year. Places with the most geothermal heat are around tectonic plate boundaries where volcanic activity can rise closer to the Earth’s crust. The best way to extract the geothermal heat from the Earth is with heat pumps placed well below the surface. Things like water from natural hot springs and steam can be piped directly into radiators or heat exchangers as well.\nHere at Comfort Solutions, we can set up natural geothermal heating systems in your home to help you and your family stay warm all year-round. Our heating company can also help with things like geothermal heating repair, geothermal heating maintenance, and other natural heating services to make sure your heating system is running as smoothly and efficiently as possible.\nBenefits Of Geothermal Heating\nLike other natural means to popular applications, geothermal heating has numerous benefits for those who decide to make the switch to the natural heating system. Installing geothermal heat pumps (GHP) can heat and cool your home every month of the year. Keep reading to learn more about some of the benefits of geothermal heating systems.\nCan Be Used In Any Climate\nWhether you live here in snowy Montana or sunny Texas, you’ll be able to take advantage of geothermal heating systems no matter what climate you live in. Because GHP systems utilize heat from underground, which is deep enough to not be affected by the current weather or regional climate, you’ll always have a reliable source to clean, natural heat for your home. Underground temperatures can be anywhere from 45 to 75 degrees fahrenheit depending on your location. While the lower end of that spectrum may not sound as appealing as the higher end, chances are that temperature is higher than the temperature outside.\nGHPs Can Last A Long Time\nGeothermal heat pumps and other components are designed to be durable and last a long time. Because they get regular use, and because they’ll be buried many feet below the surface, geothermal heating systems have some of the longest life spans around. Indoor geothermal heating components have a lifespan around 25 years, while ground equipment usually lasts around 50 years.

Although too rocky for many crops, the ground around Hermann was well suited for growing wine grapes. A decade later, Hermann's wineries were producing more than 10,000 gallons of wine a year. Eventually, more than 60 wineries populated the small town. By the 1880s, wine lovers in America and Europe were enjoying two million gallons of Missouri wine each year.\nA dangerous vineyard pest, the phylloxera louse, destroyed enormous tracts of vineyards in France. Missouri helped rebuild the European vineyards by sending phylloxera-resistant American rootstock to be grafted with French vine cuttings. The resultant vines proved extremely hardy and soon the French wine industry was back on its feet.\nItalian immigrants established vineyards in the St. James area of Missouri. Missouri's wine industry thrived at the turn of the century with about 100 wineries throughout the state.\nProhibition dealt a near fatal blow to the Missouri wine industry. When the 18th Amendment was repealed 13 years later, little remained of the once strong industry. Negative after affects of Prohibition, in the form of high liquor taxes and license fees, lingered for decades and prevented the wine industry from reestablishing itself.\n1960s and 1970s\nThe rebirth of the commercial wine industry in Missouri began with the restoration of several original wineries. The early pioneers worked hard to regain the former stature of the wine industry, amid a slowly changing cultural and regulatory environment.\nA new tax on wine enabled the establishment of the Missouri Wine & Grape Program. A state viticulturalist was hired to assist in the restoration process and Missouri State University’s fruit experiment station began working with winemakers to determine grape varieties suitable for Missouri’s climate.\nAugusta became the first federally recognized American Viticultural Area (AVA) in Missouri in 1980. The wine regions around Hermann, the southwest Missouri Ozark Mountains and highlands, and the south-central region around St. James have also been designated as AVAs.\nThe Missouri wine industry began the new millennium with vigor. The number of wineries increased and Missouri wineries began producing more diverse, complex and sophisticated wines; wines that easily earn top awards in national and international competitions.\nThe Norton/Cynthiana varietal was passed in legislation as Missouri's official state grape.\nThe Missouri Wine & Grape Board was formed. No longer an advisory Board, the Wine & Grape Board began directing the marketing and research efforts of the Missouri wine industry.\nThe Institute for Continental Climate Viticulture and Enology was established. ICCVE, funded by the Missouri Wine & Grape Board, began conducting research on grape varieties and vineyard management techniques that contributed to the growth of the wine industry in Missouri and the Midwest.\nThe birth of Missouri Wine can be traced back to Gottfried Duden, a German immigrant who arrived in Missouri in 1824. Duden bought a plot of land and began recording the weather, growing conditions, and other information for three years; he then published this information in Germany. Fellow Germans read Duden’s description of fertile land and said that “it seems to me almost a fantasy when I consider what nature offers man here.”\nIt wasn’t long after Duden became published that German settlers began to push west with careful clippings from their old world vineyards. By 1855, there were 500 acres of vineyards within Missouri, and wine was being shipped to St. Louis and beyond. Italian immigrants also had a share in Missouri’s wine history. Some Italians ended up in the Ozark Highlands (after originally planning to settle in Arkansas), where they began to cultivate vineyards to keep the traditions of their homeland alive.\nRailroads boosted the growth of Missouri Wine until the first transcontinental railroad when immigrants across the nation were getting California wine because the grapes were more similar to what Europeans were used to from the old country. Even with this set back, Missouri wine was still second to California until the beginning of Prohibition.\nThe addition of the 18th amendment dealt a fatal blow to the Missouri vineyards, virtually ruining families and their vineyards throughout 48 counties in Missouri. The only local vineyard to have survived Prohibition was St. Stanislaus Novitiate, located in St. Louis, because the owners continued to produce sacramental wine through the years.\nThere was a period of very slow growth after the Prohibition amendment was repealed, because many parts of Missouri were still legally dry, demand was low, and high taxes and licensing fees discouraged real growth in the industry. Little by little, Missouri wine vineyards came back, and now the tradition is flourishing once more.\nMissouri is home to the country’s first American Viticultural Area (AVA), which is a designated wine grape-growing region in the United States, distinguishable by geographic features. Missouri currently has four designated AVA’s, which include: Augusta AVA, Ozark Mountain AVA, Hermann AVA, and Ozark Highland AVA.\nRegardless of where your wine came from, knowing how to properly taste it is a great way to get the most out of the purchase. The following steps are easy to follow, and will help you enhance your knowledge and experience when tasting your wines.\nStep 1: The Swirl\nWhy do people swirl wine in their glasses? When wine comes in contact with the air, it releases esters-volatile liquids that give the wine its aromatic qualities. Next time you have a glass of wine, pour the liquid into your glass until it’s half full, then give it a spin and let the wine breathe.\nStep 2: The Sniff\nOne of the greatest pleasures of wine is its bouquet, or nose. In fact, much of what you think you taste in a wine is actually what you smell. Take a few seconds to draw in a deep breathe of your wine’s complex aromas. In other words, stop to smell the roses (or some of the other countless, wonderful aromas within every wine).\nStep 3: The Sip\nTo experience the flavor of a wine to the fullest, take a small amount of the liquid and an equal amount of air into your mouth. Let the flavors dance on your tongue for a moment before swallowing. Then, savor the “finish” of the wine, or the pleasant aftertaste that lingers in your mouth after the wine is gone. Finally… REPEAT.\nAcidity- all grapes have acids, which act as structural components of wine. If the acidity of a wine is too low, it will taste flat and dull, and if it’s too high, it will taste tart and sour.\nAge- the process of maturing wine by allowing complex chemical reactions involving a wine’s sugars, acids, and phenolic acids to take place, which alters the taste, aroma, color, and other characteristics to change. Aging is usually done in a tank or barrel (see Bottle Aging for wine that is aged after bottling).\nAftertaste- Also known as the finish of a wine, it is the taste of the wine left in your mouth after swallowing and is a major determinant of a wine’s overall quality. High quality wines are generally those that have long aftertastes with pleasant aromas.\nAmerican Viticultural Area (AVA)- A designated wine grape-growing region of the United States distinguishable by geographical features. If an AVA is designated on a wine bottle, than at least 85% of the grapes used to make that wine must have come from that AVA.\nAroma- The scents that are present in wines, and is also called a wine’s “nose” or “bouquet.” It is through the aromas that wine is actually tasted, because many of the flavors of a wine are more distinguishable by smelling the wine rather than tasting. This is why many people sniff wine before they take a drink.\nBouquet-A wine’s combination of secondary aromas that form new aromas, developed in the post-fermentation and maturating process. A high-quality wine will most likely have a complex bouquet that is developed through years of aging.\nBreathe- Mixing wine with oxygen to release aromas that become more pronounced as time passes. You let wine breathe by pouring it into another container and letting it sit. Red wines usually benefit from breathing the most before serving.\nBalance-A wine’s culmination of alcohol, tannin, acidity, and residual sugar. A well-balanced wine has all of these components without one overpowering another. Acids should be balanced with sweetness, fruity is balanced with oak and tannin, and alcohol is balanced with acidity and flavor.\nBlush Wine-A pinkish wine made from darker-colored grapes whose skins are removed after fermentation begins. These wines are light, slightly sweet or sometimes dry, and can be either white or rosé. Many people use rosé and blush interchangeably, but rosé is never a blend of red and white grapes (which can be done for blush wines). Therefore, all rosé wines are blush wines, but not all blush wines are rosé wines.\nBottle Aging- Maturing wine in the bottle as opposed to a tank or barrel. Some wines may improve in the bottle for ten or more years before reaching its full flavor potential. Every wine that ends up in a bottle obviously goes through some form of both bottle aging and bulk aging.\nCorked- A wine fault that occurs when a cork becomes contaminated with TCA, and leaves the wine spoiled with an undesirable smell and taste. Many producers are now switching to screw caps or synthetic corks, which have fewer TCA contamination problems.\nDecanting- Process of transferring wine from a bottle to another holding vessel. The purpose is usually to ventilate a young wine or to separate an older wine from any sediment.\nChambrer-A French term meaning to bring to room temperature.\nComplexity- Wine that exhibits several layers of odors and flavors.\nCrush- A term used to indicate a grape harvest.\nDry Wine- A technical term referring to the amount of residual sugars present in a wine. Dry wines have up to 4 grams of sugar per liter. A dry wine is opposite of sweet wine and causes a puckering sensation in the mouth.\nEnology- Also spelled oenology, this is the science of wine and winemaking.\nFermentation- The process of sugar transforming into alcohol. When grape juice interacts with yeast, it becomes wine.\nFull Bodied Wine-Wine that is high in alcohol and flavors. Full-bodied wines have rich, complex, well-rounded flavors that linger in the mouth.\nGlycerin- A thick, colorless, odorless compound that is a byproduct of the fermentation process.\nLate Harvest- Refers to grapes left on the vines for an extra-long period, until the grapes begin to shrivel and the sugars concentrate. This term is used to describe dessert wines.\nLees- Sediment that is left in the barrel consisting of dead yeast cells, grape pulp, seeds, and other grape matter that accumulate during the fermentation process.\nLegs- A term used to describe when wine sticks to the inside of a glass after drinking or swirling. The syrupy remnants indicate the body and texture of the wine.\nMash-The combination of pulp, skins and seeds of a grape that settle at the bottom of the fermentation tank or barrel.\nMust- Freshly squeezed wine juice that contains wine skins, seeds and stems. This is the state of grapes before they go through the fermentation process.\nNon-Vintage-A term used for wine that does not have a vintage year and did not come from a specific harvest. Non-vintage is most often used in regard to Champagne and sparkling wines.\nNose- This is a tasting term to describe the aroma of a wine.\nOxidation- A chemical changed that occurs in wine after it has been exposed to too much air. The wine will exhibit stale smells and turn a brown color.\npH Value-A numerical range of 2.9 to 4.2 that indicates the acidity levels of a wine based on how much hydrogen it holds. The smaller the pH value number, the higher the concentration would be. For example, a typical California Chardonnay would have a pH value of about 3.6.\nPhenolics- natural compounds, including tannin and color pigments, found in grape skins and seeds.\nPressing-The process of extracting grape juice from the grape before the fermentation process.\nResidual Sugar-The sugar that is leftover after the fermentation process.\nRosé-Used to describe a category of refreshing wines with a pink color that are made from red grapes. They are light to medium-bodied and are best to enjoy during the summer.\nSediment-Tiny particles that are remnants of the wine making process. Sediment can also form at the bottom of a bottle of wine over time, and will contain tannins and color agents. This is why a wine becomes lighter in color and less tannic as it ages.\nStabilization-Any number of wine-making procedures that make wine more stable. For example, filtering and fining are methods of stabilization used to improve and maintain the clarity of wine.\nTannin- Phenolic compounds usually found in grape skins and pits. They are astringent and provide structure to wine, leaving a bitter, dry, puckery feeling in the mouth. Over time, tannins die off, and this causes the wine to become less harsh.\nVarietal- A slang term referring to a wine made from just one type of grape, and is named after that grape.\nVinification- The art and science of making wine.\nVintage- A particular year in the wine business that relates to a specific harvest.\nVintage Date- When the vintage date is printed on the label, it indicates that all the grapes used to make that wine were harvested during that year.\nWine Tasting-Tasting wine and describing the range of flavors, aromas, and other general characteristics of a wine. This may be done to examine the wine or simply for a more general, personal appreciation.\nYeast- a microorganism that triggers the fermentation process and converts grape sugars into alcohol. Yeast can be natural or commercial ingredient in the wine-making process.\nViticulture- The science and business of growing wine grapes.\nThere are some other great sources of information on the web when it comes to learning all about wine.

Call us today at 303.776.1910.\n[June 12, 2019] Along Colorado’s front range of the Rocky Mountains, the old saying applies, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes”. If you’ve ever spent any time in Colorado, you know that the weather can turn on a dime. Near Advanced Precision Machining’s (APM’S) Colorado machine shop close to Denver, when the subject of weather comes up, that’s one of the first things you’ll hear. And while it’s a slight exaggeration, it’s not that far removed from the truth! Already earlier this spring, we’ve had our share of 70 degree days only to be followed 12 hours later by measurable snowfall. Thankfully, with the official arrival of summer just a few short weeks away, our tumultuous weather will be in the rearview mirror but that doesn’t mean our eyes won’t be on the skies.\nAs noted, we experience rain, snow, ice, wind, sun, and it’s nothing to see two or three of those extremes in one twenty-four-hour period. Colorado’s population is booming, and as a result of so many lives being affected, the weather in our picturesque state has our CNC milling and machining operation reflecting on how our local community, including APM, contributes to the science of understanding the weather. Although weather forecasters in Denver have a tough job and a notoriously poor track record, we want to use this forum to introduce you to a client with an integral role in scientific research and weather forecasting, one who relies on APM's precision machining capabilities.\nThe city of Boulder is only a stone’s throw away from our Longmont, Colorado CNC machining operation and is nationally renowned as a hub of atmospheric and meteorological research.

I believe that we have to recognise that we live with the earth not merely on it.\nThe idea of microclimates is not a new one, but as this article shows, it is one scientists are barely beginning to understand.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://traveluis.com/camping-on-espiritu-santo-island-bcs/","date":"2020-08-11T15:30:48Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738816.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811150134-20200811180134-00287.warc.gz","language_score":0.9541900157928467,"token_count":1050,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2020-34","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-34__0__192414981","lang":"en","text":"A complete guide for your visit to the most beautiful island in Mexico\nThere is great uncertainty about whether or not camping is allowed on Espiritu Santo Island, which is very close to La Paz, Baja California Sur. The natural beauties of this place are so many, that a simple 6-hour visit is not enough to know them all, so it is advisable to consider the option of camping at least one night on the island, I assure you that it is a unique experience in life.\nIn this article, I will share a complete guide for your visit, as well as information on how you can camp in this paradise\nFirst, let me tell you that it is possible to camp on the Espiritu Santo Island, I have done it a couple of times and I totally recommend it. But how is this possible? Well, we have two options, one more expensive and simple than the other.\nThe first one, camping with a tour company that gives you everything you need to enjoy your stay and not suffer from the null existence of services on the island.\nThe second is to camp freely but with you bringing everything you need to survive and in the same way, make a visit with the least negative impact on its nature.\nBefore moving on, I will share the basic regulations of the island.\nBecause the island is a protected area, there are several rules that you must abide by, otherwise, you could be expelled from it, and the person or company that brought you, would have to pay a heavy fine, as well as the Temporary revocation of his permission to offer tourist services.\n- Camp only in allowed areas.\n- You can only make fires if you carry your own firewood, it is forbidden to take wood from the island. Once the fire is over, you should cover it completely with dirt or sand.\n- Do not mistreat flora or fauna.\n- Respect the established paths.\n- Do not leave organic or inorganic garbage.\n- And the one we all know, leave only your footsteps, take only memories and photos\nIf you are worried about which are the places allowed to camp, well, this topic is a bit confusing, the official information does not determine exact areas, it only indicates that camping is allowed only in allowed areas, which leaves us with the same doubt . The good news is that this should not be resolved by you, but by the tour company or the person who takes you.\nGoing to the Island with a tour company will facilitate the entire process, with them you will not have to worry about permits, notices, bring equipment, food, etc. Normally the tours include everything you need, but few of them offer camping service because it can be very expensive, so visits to the island are mostly, one-day\nThere are several options and different prices. Here are some companies that can offer you the service:\nIt offers lodging at the Glam Camp “Cecil”. A base camp in one of the inlets of the island.\nPrice: Unknown, but according to the people of La Paz, it is around $ 300 to $ 400 USD a night. You need to contact them to check exact price.\nA little cheaper than Camp Cecil, Baja Camp offers all the necessary services\nPrice: $ 550 for two people\nThe following companies do not offer the camping option but speak to them, they might be able to help find a solution\n. Fun Cabo\n6-hour tour price: Adults $ 120 dollars children $ 60\n6-hour tour price: Adults $ 70 dollars children $ 35 dollars.\n6-hour tour price: Adults $ 75 dollars children $ 35 dollars\nNow, let’s talk about the cheapest option, camping on your own.\nAs we all know, cheap can be expensive, but in this case, if you comply with all the rules and find someone to take you to the island, you can keep the cost much lower than the aforementioned established campsites. But remember, you must bring all the necessary equipment to survive; food, water, tent, etc.\nYou must give notice to Semarnat about your camping intentions, for this, service providers can help you.\nWhoever takes you, he or they must meet the necessary requirements, such as; Know the regulations for tourism service providers, pay a fee to visit the protected area, have insurance for third parties in case of an accident, etc.\nAttached I leave a copy of the official document that speaks more thoroughly of all these requirements, I have marked in yellow the section that interests us, which is on SECTION III. Although it is in Spanish, you can use a translator like Google\nFinally, I will tell you that the option of camping on your own is difficult to achieve but not impossible, I recommend you ask with local fishermen, since many of them have left the hook to offer tourist services, and are usually cheaper than the most famous tour companies in the city. Talk to them, make friends and expose your intention to camp on the island. You will surely find more than one former fisherman willing to take you.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://thornicobuilding.com/en/kantoorruimten/office-unit-9-5b-rotterdam-center-9th-floor/","date":"2022-01-19T17:41:01Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301475.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119155216-20220119185216-00339.warc.gz","language_score":0.9238150715827942,"token_count":97,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2022-05","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-05__0__240529190","lang":"en","text":"9e etage - 64m²\nWould you like to have a compact office in the heart of the city?

Now it´s time to start with my Blog. It would probably be the best, if I start at the beginning:\nAfter I was brought to the main station in Karlsruhe by Samuel Degen and Susanne Konrad-Nagler, I went to Frankfurt Airport by train and flew then from there stop in Doha to Colombo.\nAt the airport of Colombo Reverent Vipassi was already waiting for me, together with Nadun and Gayan, two of the boys of the centre. After I had a short breakfast in a small temple in Colombo, where I was offered some unknown regional fruits, we drove with a van on the highway to Matara. After we arrived at my new place, I could recover a little bit from my journey.\nI was picked up with the TukTuk at the next morning, to visit the temple and the “Karlsruher Children Center” for the first time. I was lucky, because it was a Saturday, so it was class for the students. As I arrived at the centre, the students formed a corridor with flags in their hands to show me the way up to the temple. Then I visited the temple together with Reverent Vipassi and Mr. Pathirana, one of the two English teachers of the centre. After the visit of the temple, Reverent Vipassi held a speech, in which he presented me to the students. The speech was crossed by some short contributions like dances of the students. To my astonishment a little boy presented a poetry in German.\nThen the students went back to their classes. And I was shown around through the classrooms to get some first impressions on the children.\nThe next three days I was picked up by the TukTuk. Because no students are in the centre during the week, I had not much to do, so I had time to visit another temple at the sea, to go swimming at the beach and to get my first experiences in cricket with the boys. Furthermore, I was invited for a little football game at the sports ground next to my place in the evening.\nOn Wednesday I had some free time in the morning. I used the time to prepare for my first lesson at the next weekend.\nAt the afternoon, I was picked up by the TukTuk, because that day a trip was planned.

That had prior made the Royal Arcade. It runs from St. Mary Street to the Mills Lane and is open inside of Cardiff’s various arcades. In most cases beside the three-party frontages. The eastern passageway is at a slanted edge to Mill Lane.\nThe arcade initially had 35 shops, with basements and private lounge rooms.\nAfter stolen 200 pounds worth of stock from his shop in surgery, jewel expert GA Philips was killed in an 11-inch accident for just five months. The guilty team, Frederick George Coles, was convicted in 1888 for five years of disciplinary subjection (hard work).\nThe oldest retailer in the arcade was Philip Jones, who was born in Church Street, Old Street. As a young man, he published his Dean on his back to sell it to the remote network. In 1905, he worked at the age of 72 just days before he kicked the bucket.\nName of the name Winham – Queen family, named after the district’s extensive area.\nIn the year 1923 Glamorgan Wanderers, a Rugby Football Club started the Wanderers Club here in Wyndham Arcade. This club was made in the year 1893 and had a few home grounds in progression. In different regions of Cardiff.

This difference in the use proposal will not hit the arcade’s engineering appeal, but this proposal will improve the proposal and these lines are increasing. “\nThe report adds that for the arcades to “endure a cutting edge retailing condition” that “inconspicuous auxiliary changes” are required.

One was enthralled by the idea of so many states, each having their own different language (and in some cases more than one language!), culture, traditions, cuisine, dance-forms, music, festivals etc. India then appeared like a kaleidoscope, a shimmering fusion of colour and gaiety.\nAh! The naivety of childhood\nWhat a severe blow it is to that puerile romanticism, when later on one learns about the rough and sharp edges of this kaleidoscope, the hardships of everyday life faced by a significant population of this vast nation.\nThis cultural melting pot of a country has been witnessing considerable movement of people amongst its various parts. Sometimes seeking better opportunities for education while sometimes in search of better livelihood, reasons are a plenty that uproot people from their home. Many then flock to the urban centres in search of a new beginning.\nFor a large number of them though, what awaits is a life in slums. Lacking education and vocational skills, their options are often limited to manual labour or working as waste-pickers for the sake of a meagre livelihood.\nDespite the grind of poverty they get caught up in, somewhere in a cherished corner of their hearts, survives the memory of their homeland, their culture, and their traditions. So, when we at Gulmeher, embarked upon the task of designing a calendar for the coming year, we decided that it should give expression to this memory, to the diverse backgrounds and cultures of the women who work at Glmeher.\nEach page of Gulmeher’s 2018 ‘Amazing India’ calendar thus, carries landmarks and cultural mementos from various states of our country. Each page, tells a story, a story of painstaking detail that goes into creating art with discarded flowers. While each page shows where these women come from, the story that remains untold is of\ntheir journey and their struggles, and ultimately how they rose above their circumstances, transforming themselves into trained artisans, skilful enough to showcase the specialties of the different regions they come from through creative means.\nDiscover new states every month!

The goal is to provide a contemporary synthesis of basic landscape ecological concepts with an applied interpretation. The discipline of ecology deals with living organisms in the context of their natural environment. Landscape ecology provides a spatial and temporal context to this focus. Furthermore, landscape ecology de facto includes the presence, actions, and activities of humans. Landscapes represent the geographic unit of domestication and, therefore, provide the template for investigations in natural resource management, conservation ecology, and urbanization. The text is divided into two sections. The first section, which consists of six chapters, is intended to provide a uniform background for students from various academic disciplines. The second section, which consists of four chapters, is intended to provide an examination of the substance of contemporary landscape ecology. All figures and tables are in full color. The individual chapters have been summarized in PowerPoint™ presentations with accompanying discussion/study questions. Each of these media (images and tables, PowerPoint™ presentations, and discussion/study questions) is provided with the text as a CD.

It is the grain with the second-highest worldwide production, after maize (corn).\nRice is the most important grain with regard to human nutrition and caloric intake, providing more than one fifth of the calories consumed worldwide by humans.\nRice cultivation is well-suited to countries and regions with low labour costs and high rainfall, as it is labour-intensive to cultivate and requires ample water. However, rice can be grown practically anywhere, even on a steep hill or mountain area with the use of water-controlling terrace systems.\nThe seeds of the rice plant are first milled using a rice huller to remove the chaff (the outer husks of the grain). At this point in the process, the product is called BROWN RICE. The milling may be continued, removing the bran, the rest of the husk and the germ, thereby creating WHITE RICE. White rice, which keeps longer, lacks some important nutrients.\nThe many varieties of rice, for many purposes, are distinguished as long-, medium-, and short-grain rices. The grains of fragrant long-grain rice tend to remain intact after cooking; medium-grain rice becomes more sticky. Medium-grain rice is used for sweet dishes, for risotto in Italy and many rice dishes, such as arròs negre, in Spain. A stickier medium-grain rice is used for sushi; the stickiness lets the rice be moulded into a solid shape. Short-grain rice is often used for rice pudding.\nRice production in India\nRice production in India is an important part of the national economy.\nIndia is one of the world’s largest producers of white rice and brown rice, accounting for 20% of all world rice production. Rice is India’s pre-eminent crop, and is the staple food of the people of the eastern and southern parts of the country. Thanks to its rich soil, India is known for producing some of the finest varieties of rice. Basmati rice is globally renowned for its unique smell and delicate flavour and Indian basmati rice is highly demanded in the worldwide market.\nFollowing are the main varieties of rice produced in India:\nMedium Grain Rice\nShort Grain Rice\nRice Production in Indonesia\nAlthough Indonesia is the third-largest country regarding global rice production, it is still a rice importer. This situation is caused by farmers’ use of non-optimal production techniques in combination with large per capita rice consumption. In fact, Indonesia has the largest per capita rice consumption in the world with Indonesians consuming around 140 kilogram of rice per person per year.\nRice production in Pakistan\nRice production in Pakistan holds an extremely important position in agriculture and national economy. Pakistan is the world’s fourth largest producer of rice, after China, India and Indonesia. This country is responsible for supplying 30% of the world’s paddy rice output. Among the most famous varieties grown in Pakistan include the Basmati, known for its flavor and quality.\nSuper Basmati Rice\nSuper Fine Rice\nPk-385 Basmati Rice\nPK-198 Basmati Rice\nD-98 Basmati Rice\nPK-386 Long Grain Rice\nKS-282 Long Grain Rice\nC9 Long Grain Rice\nIrri-9 Long Grain Rice\nIrri-6 Long Grain Rice\nD.R Long Grain Rice\n515 Super Basmati Rice\nRice production in Thailand\nRice Production in Thailand represents a significant portion of the Thai economy and labour force.\nThailand has a strong tradition of rice production. It has the fifth-largest amount of land under rice cultivation in the world and is the world’s second largest exporter of rice. The most produced strain of rice in Thailand is Jasmine rice, which is a higher quality type of rice. However, we can find also :\nWhite Glutinous rice\nBlack Glutinous rice\nRed Cargo rice\nRice production in Vietnam\nVietnam is one of world’s richest agricultural regions and is the second-largest (after Thailand) exporter worldwide and the world’s seventh-largest consumer of rice. Rice is a staple of the national diet and is seen as a “gift from God”. It is especially cultivated in the Mekong and Red River deltas.\nThere are many types of rice in Vietnam. However the most popular varieties are the usual white rice (eaten during every meal), jasmine rice (moist rice commonly used by the upper class), sweet or sticky rice known as xôi or glutinous rice (steamed rice sweetened and mixed with condiments eaten for breakfast or as a dessert dish) and broken rice (converted to Com Tam by steaming (common in restaurants); each has its own uniqueness.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.lujiaoyin.com/k/17985.html","date":"2021-10-20T06:41:35Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585302.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020055136-20211020085136-00617.warc.gz","language_score":0.9369060397148132,"token_count":1262,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2021-43","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-43__0__23382973","lang":"en","text":"Is it good to live in a big city?\nCity dwellers are always complaining about traffic jam, high prices, security conditions and something like that. But the advantages people gains in living in a big city are much greater than problems it entails. Actually, it's indeed a good thing to live in a big city.\nA big city equipped with modern infrastructure makes people's life convenient and efficient. High-developed underground lines, first-class international airports and all-covered post and telecommunication net make it possible to deliver persons and goods at the highest speed and cost least time. Besides, hospitals and schools in a big city are much better than those in the country. People live in a big city enjoy good medical and educational conditions. In a word, a big city involves most advanced achievements we have gained and these achievements are the most powerful tools to improve people's life.\nFurthermore, it is universally acknowledged that people are more likely to succeed in a big city, or it can be stated as there are more opportunities in metropolitan areas for people to achieve something.\nOne may argue that city life brings too much polluted air and occupies too much free time. There's no doubt that living in a big city has its merits as well as disadvantages. But when the advantages and disadvantages are weighed, the conclusion is quite striking: it's good to live in a big city\nBeing in a city\nMany people like to live in city.But there are still some people.They like to stay in the country.Actually,there are lot of benefit to be in a city.You can find your job easily and it is convinient for you to go shopping.In a city,traffic is pretty great.There are alot of parks and hotel for you to have a rest.But in a city,you always have to spend a lot money and there are many peole in the city which will make the city crowd.There is bad air in the city and the enviorment is pollutive.Living where is depend on your condition.\nMany people appreciate the conveniences of the city. People in the city can seefilms, visit exhibitions and watch games every day if they like to. Furthermore, if they want to Become scholars, scientists or artists, they can find what they need in the city: libraries, colleges, museums, and so on. The last But not the least important thing I'd like to say is that they can get to know as many people as they want in the city.\nBut some other people are attracted by the beauty of the country. First, if one is in the country he feels he is closer to nature: small streams, high mountains, fresh air, green grass and so on, all this makes people happy and stirs up the love of life. Second, in the country, people seem to have more freedom. They can sing high in the field, ride horses along a brook and do some interesting farm work.\nOf course, both the city and the country have their disadvantnges. As for the city, there is pollution, noise and heavy traffic. And as far as the country is concerned, its inefficient transportation, delayed news always make people feel isolated.\nCompared with cities, the country is relatively backward, but nothing can be com pared with the clean atmosphere and the gentle pace of living. Living in the country is very good for your health. With the deveJopment of economy, it is a trend that people will migrate from the city to the country.\nLife in the city is very different from life in the villages and on the farms. People in large cities are much more careful to respect the privacy of the individual. Sometimes this feeling seems to be one of indifference, but it is a convention of city life to curb one's curiosity about the personal affairs of strangers. Villagers and farmers are likely to show a great deal of interest in all their neighbors. Opportunities for bright young people are greater in the cities and there has been a steady stream of hopeful jobseekers from the villages and farms to the large metropolitan areas.。\nThe Advantages of City Life\nThere are undeniable advantages to both life in a big city and in a small town. The former offers more excitement and convenience while the latter offers a cleaner, quieter and often friendlier place to live. However, despite the advantages of small town life, I prefer to live in a big city for several reasons.\nFirst, life in the city is more convenient. More goods are available and stores are open later. Also, there is better public transportation so it is easier to get around. I can find almost anything I want easily in the city. Second, there are more ways to spend leisure time in the city. There are many places I can go to meet friends and have fun. Finally, and most importantly, the city offers more educational and career opportunities. The city often attracts the best teachers and the best companies. There is also a wider choice of jobs so it is easier to move up the career ladder.\nFor all of these reasons, I prefer to live in the city. Although I sometimes miss the fresh air and quiet life of a small town, nothing can make up for the opportunities that the city offers me. If one wants to be successful, I believe the best place to live is the city.\nthe former前者the latter后者\nfriendly adj.亲切的goods n.(pl.)商品\nAs a coin has two sides,living in the city has both advantages and disadvantages.To beagin with,it is convinient to live in the city for there are many stores ,restaurants ,theaters ,gyms etc.Nextly, the transfortation in the city is much more developed .Regardless of the bus and the texi, we can choose subways ,which is in fast speed and cheap.After that ,there children can get better education and acquire more resources.However,not everyone can afford the high expense there and the large population leads to the heavy traffic and more pollutions.Therefore ,different people hold on different views about whether is proper to live in the city .。","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://exclusivextracts.ca/how-to-mnyh/article.php?tag=d15747-my-place-hotel-king-george%2C-va","date":"2021-01-15T18:11:41Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703495936.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20210115164417-20210115194417-00682.warc.gz","language_score":0.8395954370498657,"token_count":2502,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2021-04","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-04__0__178947029","lang":"en","text":"Hope to see you again soon.

Testimonials.\nThey go back and forth every day, without looking back. Sophie lives in Haute-Savoie in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois but works in Geneva. To travel the 8 kilometers between the two cities, it sometimes takes an hour or two because of traffic jams. Every morning, an army of French bumpers rushes to Switzerland. Every year, more and more people are building their professional lives across the border. At the end of 2012, half of the 264,000 foreigners working in Switzerland are French. Among them, 50,200 young people from 20 to 29 years old.\nDaily trips for dream pay\nFrom the balcony of their apartment in Saint-Julien, Sophie and her companion have a view of Geneva. Working just a few miles apart, their wages are a big difference. If both are osteopaths, Sophie earns 5500 net euros per month when her friend only touches 2000 in France. This situation is described as “completely incoherent, hallucinating”. Bored, his friend wanted to make his place in the sun too: he was hired in Switzerland and starts next week.\nIn Saint-Julien, a third of the inhabitants are exported to the country of chocolate and find it “strange to work in France”. Good pay on one side and cheaper rents on the other, the purchasing power is only better. Young people have seen their parents work for years and are following the movement once on the job market. “Once the diploma is in your pocket, you look directly in Switzerland,” says Matthias. Every day, this planning engineer takes his car and two trains to get to work. A largely profitable route: at the post and equivalent hours, it pockets 1500 euros more than in France. So he has already bought his own apartment in France at only 26 years old. “I repay 850 euros a month,” he explains. With a French salary, I could never have owned so quickly.\nHealth insurance, “border special”, only cost them a hundred euros per month. For the time being. In 2014, the plan could change and health coverage to 8% of their golden income, which would amount to 440 euros monthly for Sophie. The young woman has already studied the problem. “At worst, we are domiciled in Switzerland. The shot of the fictional installation is very simple. Quiet.\n“The Swiss do not want to get their hands dirty”\nBut on the other side of the border, the French are not popular. Although it is only 5%, the unemployment rate in Geneva is the worst in the country. “The Swiss think that they are stealing their jobs and clogging their roads,” says Matthias. We are their immigrants: those responsible for all the evils.\nNo scruples for these young French people who consider themselves to be cheap and voluntary labor. “The French do the jobs that the Swiss do not want to do as secretary or cashier,” continues Matthias. A few years ago, Sophie was a waitress in a Swiss bar, paid 17 euros per hour. almost twice the French hourly Smic. “Here it is very poorly paid! attests yet, Sophie. Nobody would want to do it. His current employer came to recruit his school in Lyon. He wanted young people ready to work evenings and weekends, not like young Swiss “too attached to their comfort”.\nSame story with Frédéric*, a former employee of the Geneva Golf Club, who denounces even a stratification of posts by nationality. “The locals do not want to get their hands dirty. They occupy the top positions, the French have intermediaries: waiters, bartenders, hotel masters. And in the shadows, the plunge or the household, it is the Portuguese, the Spaniards. On the construction sites, Albanians and Kosovars “. We must keep up the pressure: in Switzerland, an “incompatibility of mood” with the boss can be worth a dismissal. But all just such a salary, which allows them to build then dream villas in their native country. “It’s simple: everyone who wants to be a proprietor goes to Switzerland,” Frédéric concludes.\nBoomerang effect: the Swiss settle in France\nOpportunism works in both directions. The French enjoy opulent salaries and the Swiss of France at bargain prices. “In the car parks of supermarkets and shopping centers, there are plenty of Swiss matriculation plates,” said Matthias. In addition to food shopping, some come to settle in France, where rents are 30 to 40% lower than Geneva according to Matthias.\nAs a result, real estate pressure is also crossing the border. Saint-Julien may be a dormitory town without a single bar, Sophie and her boyfriend pay 850 euros per month for 35 square meters. They do not plan to move to Switzerland, where “there is nothing below 1600 euros”. She just wonders “how to do the young French people who live and work here”. Frederic could answer him easily: he still lives with his parents.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://greenseam.org/category/news-to-know/page/2/","date":"2017-09-20T21:44:58Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818687484.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20170920213425-20170920233425-00473.warc.gz","language_score":0.9124240875244141,"token_count":449,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2017-39","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-39__0__103685421","lang":"en","text":"Sioux Land News | by Lydia Knox | Monday, July 17th, 2017 SANBORN, Ia — When people think of Iowa they usually think of corn, maybe soybeans.

In addition, Earth and Venus are also terrestrial planets, meaning they are primarily composed of metals and silicate rock that are differentiated between a metallic core and a silicate mantle and crust.\nBeyond that, Earth and Venus could not be more different. one day). In Earth’s case, this process takes a full 24 hours. But in Venus’ case, its slow rotation and orbit mean that a single day lasts as long as 116.75 Earth days.\nSidereal Vs. Solar:\nNaturally, some clarification is necessary when addressing canada goose store the question of how long a day lasts. For starters, one must distinguish between a sidereal day and a solar day. A sidereal day is the time it takes for a planet to complete a single rotation on its axis. On the other hand, a solar day is the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same place in the sky.\nOn Earth, a sidereal days last 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds, whereas a solar day lasts exactly 24 hours. In https://www.zoetermeerinbeeld.nl Venus’ case, it takes a whopping 243.025 days for the planet to rotate once on its axis which is the longest rotational period of any planet in the canada goose outlet store uk Solar System. In addition, it rotates in the opposite the direction in which it orbits around the Sun (which it takes about 224.7 Earth days to complete).\nIn other words, Venus has a retrograde rotation, which means that if you could view the planet from above its northern polar region, it would be seen to rotate in a clockwise direction on its axis, and in a counter clockwise direction around the Sun. It also means that if you could stand on the surface of Venus, the Sun would rise in the west and set in the east.\nFrom all this, one might assume that a single day lasts longer than a year on Venus. But again, the distinction between a sidereal and solar days means that this cheap canada goose is not true. Combined with its orbital period, the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same point in the sky works out to 116.75 Earth days, which is little more canada goose uk shop than a half a Venusian (or Cytherian) year.\nAt a closest average distance of 41 million km (25,476,219 mi), Venus is the closest planet to Earth. Credit: NASA/JPL/MagellanAxial Tilt and Temperatures:\nUnlike Earth or Mars, Venus has a very low axial tilt just 2.64 relative to the ecliptic. In fact, it’s axial tilt is the one of the lowest in the Solar System, second only to canada goose outlet Mercury (which has an extremely low tilt of 0.03). Combined with its slow rotational period and dense atmosphere, this results in the planet being effectively isothermal, with virtually no variation in its surface temperature.\nIn other words, the planet experiences a mean temperature of 735 K (462 C; 863.6 F) the hottest in the Solar System with very little change between day and night, or between the equator and the poles. 92 times that of Earth’s at sea level. If it were possible for a human being to stand on the surface of Venus, they would be crushed by the atmosphere.\nThe composition of the atmosphere is extremely toxic, consisting primarily of carbon dioxide (96.5%) with small amounts of nitrogen (3.5%) and traces of other gases most notably sulfur dioxide. Combined with its density, the composition generates the strongest greenhouse effect of any planet in the Solar System.\nAccording to multiple Earth based surveys and space Canada Goose Outlet missions to Venus, scientists have learned that its weather is rather extreme. The entire atmosphere of the planet circulates around canada goose outlet black friday quickly, with winds reaching speeds of up to 85m/s (300km/h; 186.4 mph) at the cloud tops, which circle the planet every four to five Earth days.\nAt Canada Goose online this speed, these winds move up to 60 canada goose outlet in usa times the speed of the planet’s rotation, whereas Earth’s cheap Canada Goose fastest winds are only 10 20% canada goose outlet jackets of the planet’s rotational speed. Spacecraft equipped with ultraviolet imaging instruments are able to observe the cloud motion around Venus, and see how it moves at different layers of the atmosphere. The winds blow in a retrograde direction, and are the fastest near the poles.\nCloser to the equator, the wind speeds die down to almost nothing. Because of the thick atmosphere, the winds move much slower as you get close to the surface of Venus, reaching speeds of about 5 km/h. Because it’s so cheap canada goose thick, though, the atmosphere is more like canada goose coats water currents than blowing wind at the surface, so it is still capable of blowing dust around and moving small rocks across the surface of Venus.\nVenus flybys have also indicated that its dense clouds are capable of producing lightning, much like canada goose outlet uk the clouds on Earth. Their intermittent appearance indicates a pattern associated with weather activity, and the lightning rate is at least half of that on Earth.\nArtist concept of the surface of Venus, showing its dense clouds and lightning storms.

Good SF, like something from Bioshock Infinite, but still, I think that we need to come a long way until this could be done. The cons are quite massive. The lack of water and the process of creating it is challenging. I know that only Earth is inside the Goldilocks Zone, but Mars seems closer than Venus, and even though Mars has its cons, water was found there. The acid rain on Venus doesn’t help either.\nHowever, I think canada goose clearance sale canada goose outlet uk sale that it’s great that there are people like Mr. Landis and others who focus on the possibility of creating habitats on difficult planets like Venus.

This article argues that the reason for the monarchies’ different experiences lies in the varying size of the monarchs’ ruling coalitions on the eve of the uprisings. This factor determines whether there was a base of politically and economically excluded actors large enough to stage mass protests. The article demonstrates that whether a monarch disposed of a narrow ruling coalition (as in Bahrain) or a broad coalition (as in the other five monarchies) was heavily influenced by the monarchies’ histories of foreign power interference in internal affairs (or the absence thereof).\nIn early 2011, the ousting of Tunisia’s President Ben Ali ignited political turmoil in large parts of the Arab world, followed by the fall of authoritarian regimes in Egypt, Libya and Yemen. In Syria, popular uprisings developed into a brutal civil war whose outcome remains open at the time of writing. Contrary to these Arab republics, the six monarchies Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar and Bahrain all remained in place. However, a closer look at these six monarchies reveals that they faced varying degrees of opposition: in Qatar and the UAE, no protest mobilized at all, whereas Saudi Arabia and Oman experienced only a few protests. In Kuwait, there were more protests but the demands remained moderate. However, there was one monarchy which stood out from the other five in view of the scale of the protests: Bahrain.\nOn 14 February 2011, Bahrain’s first protests began in the capital Manama, where several dozen protesters were injured and one was killed when Bahraini security forces tried to disperse the crowds. During the following days, protests intensified dramatically. By 25 February, over 100,000 protestors filled the streets of Manama, a staggering number for a country with a population of approximately 500,000. The Bahraini regime responded with a mixture of repression and accommodation, which did not stop the protests from growing. As the Bahraini security forces became increasingly overwhelmed at the beginning of March, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) agreed to deploy approximately 1,000 troops from Saudi Arabia and 500 police officers from the UAE to back up the Bahraini security forces. Reinforced, the regime commenced a full-scale crackdown on 15 March and stormed the Pearl Roundabout in central Manama where protesters had camped for about a month. Since then, the situation has stagnated and tensions have remained high.\nThese unexpected events in the Arab world have triggered various debates among political scientists. However, the question of why most monarchies remained basically untouched while one of them, Bahrain, experienced a regime-shaking crisis has not received much attention. The present article aims to examine why the six Gulf monarchies experienced such varying degrees of political turmoil during the Arab uprisings in 2011 and why Bahrain experienced mass protests while the other five Gulf monarchies Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the UAE did not.The way this question is stated implies that protests in Bahrain were distinctively larger than in the other Gulf monarchies. Though numbers can vary depending on sources, Figure 1 illustrates that there has indeed been a significant difference among the countries with regards to the number of participants in protests in 2011.\nFactors that cannot explain the different experiences\nThere are a number of potential explanations for these varying experiences in the six monarchies; yet under scrutiny they prove insufficient. First of all, one might argue that Bahrain’s highly connected and very active online community could account for the diffusion of the protests to Bahrain, but not to the other monarchies. While it is true that Bahrainis are highly connected to the Internet and have long experience in online activism, a closer look at the numbers (Figure 2) reveals that there is in fact no direct correlation between, for example, the Facebook penetration rate in a country and the scale of the protests experienced in that same country during the Arab uprisings (Figure 1).\nAnother potential argument might be that centuries’ old sectarian divides between the Sunni and Shi’a communities in Bahrain were the reason for the larger size of the protests. Although it is true that Bahrain is the only Gulf monarchy in which a Shi’a majority is ruled by a Sunni minority (the exact percentages are unknown), such a mono-causal argumentation is not satisfactory as both Saudi Arabia (10-15%) and Kuwait (30-40%) are also home to significant Shi’a communities, but have not experienced large-scale protests.\nAn alternative explanation might be that the protests simply reflected the countries’ economic situations. It is undisputed that there are indeed differences between the six countries in question with respect to economic parameters. Looking for example at the countries’ Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, Qatar ($58,256.97 in 2010) appears to be by far the richest of the six monarchies, followed by Kuwait ($28,615.95), the United Arab Emirates ($24,219.3), Bahrain ($16,722.24), Saudi Arabia ($15,994.78) and Oman ($14.962.03). However, comparing these findings with the abovementioned protest levels reveals that economic parameters alone can impossibly account for the countries’ varied experiences during the Arab uprisings. Therefore, some other factor must have been behind their vastly different experiences in 2011.\nThe case selection is justified on the grounds that all six monarchies share major characteristics that control for many potential confounding variables: First of all, as Muslim-majority states of the Arab Gulf, they have similar cultural and religious endowments. Secondly, in all six cases, the ruling families who dominate the political spheres today came to power in the 18th century, and with the exception of Saudi Arabia, received protection from the British Empire early on. The third shared characteristic is that all six monarchies only became formally independent in the 20th century and all experienced significant changes in their socioeconomic landscapes with the advent of oil wealth in the second half of the 20th century. Yet there exist differences between the cases, and as will be argued in this article, the countries diverge in one particular aspect that is directly relevant to the understanding of the events in 2011: the size of the monarchs’ ruling coalitions.\nCoalitions and Rentier State Theory\nThe starting point of classical scholarship on authoritarian regimes has been that autocrats cannot possibly rule a country alone. They therefore depend on a ruling coalition of social forces. This involves leaders forging alliances with other social groups and establishing patronage structures in which supporters receive benefits in exchange for political loyalty. In forming such coalitions, autocrats need to find the right balance between loyalty and repression: the larger the coalition, the less repression is needed, but that comes at high costs as resources must be continuously allocated to satisfy supporters.\nIn the 1970s, political scientists became increasingly interested in the political impacts of oil income. It is in this context that the basic concepts of classical rentier state literature emerged. The central hypothesis emanating from this literature proposes that natural resources rents allow autocrats to build a strong and autonomous state apparatus without any need for domestic taxation. Autocrats, therefore, have the opportunity to construct a narrow and exclusive ruling coalition, while ‘bribing’ the public into compliance with mass welfare policies.\nThis literature was recently revisited, amongst others, by Smith, Lowi and Yom. These authors argue that the size of the ruling coalition in rentier states is not determined by oil wealth per se, but by the countries’ experiences in dealing with societal contestation before oil started to influence the reorganization of state institutions. This view suggests that autocrats who struggle to consolidate power are forced to forge new alliances with previously marginalized social groups in order to ensure that they remain in power. Yom and Gause further developed this argument and introduced the notion of ‘cross-cutting coalitions’, defined as the “historical alliances linking different social constituencies to the ruling family”. According to these authors, such broad coalitions are “the hallmark of success for autocracies, regardless of institutional structure.” In addition, international support can have a crucial impact on coalitions as it can help autocrats to eliminate rival groups and ensure regime survival. Instead of making new pacts with contentious groups to guarantee stability, rulers backed by foreign powers can crush the opposition without having to make meaningful concessions.\nBased on this alternative framework, the following argument about the likelihood of mass protest can be advanced: An authoritarian regime that never felt threatened enough to forge coalitions with a broad scope of social actors due to strong foreign support (especially during the state-building process) is more likely to experience large-scale protests than one which was forced to do so. The absence of a broad coalition is primarily associated with the presence of a strong foreign power willing to support a contested regime during critical junctures, allowing the regime to crush opposition movements and exclude them from power even before the advent of oil wealth. Once oil becomes abundant, these regimes can cement their rule by initiating development and redistribution policies that benefit their narrow coalition partners and further marginalize the opposition. Since important actors are systematically excluded from political and economic power and have a lot to gain from overthrowing their rulers, there is an increased likelihood of mass protest.\nThe central thesis of this article is that in five of the six Gulf monarchies – namely Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE – leaders were forced to forge coalitions with major social actors in their kingdoms at critical moments in their history; either because they had no foreign power to rely on, or because that power was not willing to intervene at their side to oppress the opposition. Only in Bahrain was this not the case, as Britain intervened repeatedly in the internal affairs of the kingdom in favor of the al-Khalifa rulers, allowing them to not reach out beyond their narrow ruling coalition. As a result of these different historical trajectories, Bahrain was the Gulf monarchy that was standing on the weakest foundation on the eve of the Arab uprisings in 2011, facing a large and determined opposition whose demands had never been addressed in the past and, therefore, had a lot to gain from overthrowing the al-Khalifa regime. In the other five monarchies, the broader ruling coalitions considerably reduced the likelihood of protest.\nThis article consists of a comparative historical case study and uses qualitative research tools. Given that the aim is to explore historical paths over a relatively long period of time, process-tracing is the most adequate technique. More precisely, process tracing will explore how the presence or absence of foreign power interferences impacted the ruling coalitions in the six monarchies and how this led to the countries’ varied experiences during the Arab uprisings. The analysis is organized in three sequences: the first sequence explores the historical origins of the ruling coalitions that date back to the 18th century and demonstrates how foreign powers influenced early coalitional arrangements. The second begins with the discovery of oil after the end of the Second World War and examines how oil wealth affected the ruling coalitions in the six monarchies. The third sequence analyses how coalitions developed from the 1990-91 Gulf War to the Arab uprisings in early 2011.\nCoalition arrangements and the influence of foreign powers in the pre-oil period (~1750-1945)\nThe first prototype of the contemporary Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was established in 1744 and was based upon an alliance between the tribal leader Muhammad bin Saud and the religious leader Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhab. This historic alliance laid the basis for the Saudi-Wahhabi partnership that would remain a crucial feature of the kingdom until today. In 1932, the al-Saud clan established the present-day kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In its early years, the kingdom was ruled not by a bureaucratic state apparatus, but by trusted regional governors, supported by local intermediaries and clients. In an attempt to consolidate his rule, then King Ibn Saud co-opted the key social forces, collaborated with prominent families and tribes; and promoted Wahhabi indoctrination. Apart from the protection Britain offered against foreign intervention, there was no direct interference into the domestic affairs of the Saudi Kingdom. Rather than relying on foreign support, the rule of the al-Saud family was therefore built upon on a complex system of alliances with various social forces, long before oil started to play a role in Saudi Arabia.\nIn Oman, the interaction between the inland and the coastal areas historically had the strongest influence on the political development of the country. The religious leadership (the Imamat), adhering to the Ibadi school of Islam, was traditionally based in the interior whereas the political leadership (the Sultanat) had its headquarters in the coastal areas around Muscat. In the first half of the 19th century, a growing conflict between these two opposing forces considerably weakened the whole country and paved the way for increased British influence. After decades of instability and conflict between the Sultanat and the Imamat, and with both sides realizing that they were both too weak to defeat one another, they signed an agreement in 1920 in order to lay the foundation for a peaceful coexistence. Britain played a crucial role in this matter due to its dissatisfaction with the constant instability in the years leading up to the agreement. It is also during this period that the weak Sultanat forged new coalitions with merchant elites to consolidate its leadership and regain strength. This status quo would remain unchallenged until the discovery of oil after the end of the Second World War.\nKuwait was founded in the early 18th century by a variety of clans of which the al-Sabah quickly became preeminent. However, the rule of the al-Sabah family remained limited due to a strong dependency on financial resources from the merchant elites in the sheikhdom.Furthermore, alliances had to be forged with tribal leaders guarding the country’s desert hinterland; the al-Sabah simply did not have the resources to control the periphery themselves. At the turn of the 20th century, tensions increased between the al-Sabah family and the merchants over an increase in taxes. As a consequence, the al-Sabah increasingly looked to Britain for support. Much to their despair, however, Britain refrained from interfering to support their rule. As diplomatic surveys reveal, Britain could have defeated the opposition movements from the beginning but instead pressured the al-Sabah to make concessions in order to avoid further instability. Britain’s unwillingness to intervene in favor of the al-Sabah forced them to tolerate the opposition and consider new ways of consolidating their rule, which materialized in the state-building process after the end of the Second World War.\nAt the beginning of the 20th century, the present-day territory of Qatar only consisted of a small group of poor villages. Qatar’s population was primarily tribal and nomadic, which placed leaders in a similarly weak position as in the early-days of Kuwait: their ability to collect taxes depended on the consent of the tribes.In the late 1860s, the al-Thani family emerged as the dominant authority in the country and signed an agreement with Britain in 1916. Like the al-Sabah in Kuwait and the Sultanat in Oman, the al-Thani hoped that their cooperation with Britain would not only protect them against foreign interventions, but that it would also guarantee their internal supremacy.In reality, however, this helped little to alleviate internal divides within their large ruling family. It also did not save the sheikhdom from a series of economic crises in the interwar period. In sum, pre-oil era Qatar was institutionally weak and economically poor, with a large but divided ruling family that was unable to address the sheikdom’s chronic economic problems.\nThe UAE is a federation of seven emirates, each of which has a separate history.However, they share a number of characteristics: They all became protectorates of the British Empire in the early 19th century and only became independent when forming the UAE in 1971. Britain promised full support to the sheikhs against external threats in exchange for guarantees that their towns would not tolerate pirates that might endanger the shipping routes to India. Two main groups of tribes have dominated the UAE since the 18th century, the Qawasin and the Bani Yas. Notable threats to their authority only emerged in the 1930s in the context of the World recession when merchants complained that their rulers’ agreements with Britain would worsen their economic situation. As a consequence, protests erupted and demanded that the rulers limited their personal income and distribute rents more equitably. As will be seen in the next sequence, the advent of oil wealth introduced a completely new dynamic in this quest for redistribution of national income and strongly facilitated coalition arrangements between the dominant groups and merchant elites.\nThe Bahrain archipelago was originally inhabited by the Baharinah, a Shi’a community. In the late 18th century, they were joined by a Sunni community under the lead of the al-Khalifa family, which defeated the Persian occupation on the archipelago. Unlike elsewhere in the Gulf States, the al-Khalifa did not come to power from within the society, but became rulers as a result of conquest. Towards the end of the 19th century, the al-Khalifa regime contributed increasingly to discriminatory practices against the indigenous Shi’a majority. In order to understand why the Bahraini rulers were able to do so without fearing serious repercussions, the role of Britain was crucial. Whereas at the mid-19th century, Britain’s primary interest in the country was to secure the maritime trade routes to and from India, its role in Bahrain’s internal affairs expanded significantly towards the end of the century.Out of fear that other powers could make a claim over the strategically and economically interesting archipelago, Britain tried to secure its interest by strengthening Bahrain’s security apparatus. Therefore, Britain tolerated a regime – and indeed strengthened it – that had never felt any need to reach out, make concessions and share power with a broad scope of social actors in the country. As we will see in the next chapters, the sheer absence of dialogue between the Bahraini rulers and the opposition led to repeated turmoil in the second half of the twentieth century.\nThe influence of oil wealth on the ruling coalitions in the Gulf monarchies (~1945-1990)\nIn Saudi Arabia, the oil boom started in the early 1950s and completely transformed the young kingdom’s political economy. Since no formal administration existed to manage the massive inflow of oil revenue, everything had to be built from scratch. In this process, bureaucratic institutions were designed around the interests of the al-Saud family members. Furthermore, many political allies from the pre-oil period received privileged positions in the booming oil industry or were granted exclusive trade agencies which they still hold today. The tremendous business opportunities of the oil era also allowed new families to immerse into the complex patronage networks. It can therefore be argued that in Saudi Arabia, oil cemented existing coalitions that predated the oil era and allowed new actors to join the complex patronage system.\nIn Oman, the fragile coalition between the Sultanat, the Imamat and merchants elites was put to the test even before oil was first discovered in the kingdom. In the 1950s, a conflict broke out between the Sultanat and the Imamat over a disputed territory suspected to hold oil deposits. Supported by the British, the forces of the Sultanat intervened, forced the rebelling Imam into exile, and reunited the kingdom by realigning the Ibadi leadership of the interior. In the following years, top positions in the booming oil industry and the growing public sector were filled, in keeping with the pre-oil period, with the Sultanat’s historical political allies, especially the influential merchant elites and tribes. Where instability was still rife – as in the Dhofar province – social and economic reforms, as well as strategic positioning of local leaders into senior government functions decreased tensions. In short, oil helped the Sultanat cement and extend the pre-oil era ruling coalition and, by doing so, largely contributed to increased stability in the country.\nIn Kuwait and Qatar, oil income started to flow during the 1950s and had similar effects as in Saudi Arabia. It enabled the rulers not only to decrease their dependency on the merchants, but also to forge new alliances, namely with influential actors in the growing public sector. Like in Saudi Arabia, institutions were designed according to the interests of the ruling families and their coalitional partners from the pre-oil period. In Kuwait, the dominant merchant elites were given important economic privileges in return for political compliance. It was also during this period that the al-Sabah leadership – given its memories of foreign powers’ unreliability during previous crises – reached out to its Shi’a minority. Since then, many Shi’a have enjoyed close relations with the al-Sabah clan and benefited from the oil boom in the country. On the same grounds, al-Sabah rulers also allowed limited political pluralism in the form of a National Assembly to be established in the 1950s. In Qatar – where merchants were never as powerful as in Kuwait – the large ruling family (estimated to make up over half of the national population) benefited from the oil boom in the post-war period. In sum, oil wealth allowed leaders in both monarchies to strengthen and extend their ruling coalition by distributing wealth and positions according to political arrangements that often pre-dated the oil period.\nPetroleum had similar effects in the UAE, where the oil boom started in the late 1960s. In the sheikhdoms of Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah, fast growing oil exports provided the ruling families with the ability to not only distribute wealth to their citizens – responding to demands of the interwar period – but also to assign lucrative import monopolies to various merchant families. Many families who during the 1950s supported nationalist movements against the sheikhs became rich during the 1960-1970s and established significant business empires. Like in the previously discussed cases, this unprecedented economic boom led to the emergence of complex patronage networks that extended the rulers’ support base to new social actors, while consolidating the tribal alliances from the pre-oil period.\nIn Bahrain, the transition to an oil-based economy happened earlier than in the other monarchies and was accompanied by a number of problems dating back to the pre-oil period. Development and redistributive policies relegated the Shi’a majority to second-class status, causing outrage amongst the Shi’a. In the 1950s, a series of clashes between government forces and the opposition heated up the already volatile atmosphere between the two sects. The Bahraini government – strongly supported by the British – responded harshly, suppressing all opposition and political activity. After repeated outbreaks of violence in the 1960s and Britain’s announcement to retreat from the Gulf in 1971, the al-Khalifa attempted to imitate the Kuwaiti experience by establishing a National Assembly. However, this experiment was short-lived and the Assembly dissolved in 1975. In 1979, the Iranian Revolution further increased sectarian tensions in the country and added a new dynamic, in that it provided Bahrain with new powerful foreign supporters: Saudi Arabia and the United States. While oil-wealth accentuated discriminatory practices, international support continued to strengthen a narrow ruling coalition and gave the al-Khalifa regime few incentives to initiate meaningful reforms.\nRuling coalitions and domestic challenges from the Gulf War to the Arab Spring (~1990-2011)\nIn Saudi Arabia, the threat posed by the 1990-91 Gulf War incited the al-Saud clan to broaden and strengthen its alliance with the major social actors in the country – be it the Wahhabi community, tribal leaders or business elites. During the 1990s, oil prices started to drop and the Saudi rulers feared that this could endanger the patronage networks carefully put in place during previous decades. In addition, the kingdom’s Shi’a minority has increasingly raised complaints that they are treated as second-class citizens in a kingdom that embodies a puritanical version of Sunni Islam. The fact that the majority of Saudi Arabia’s Shi’a population lives in the oil-rich eastern provinces makes this a serious concern for the regime. However, the regional character of the problem as well as the massive development programs put in place for the concerned provinces make country-wide mass protest unlikely. Considering the broad coalition of business elites, religious, tribal and regional leaders, it is not surprising that in 2011, there was very limited ground for mass protest to take root.\nIn Oman, the two decades since the end of the Cold War were characterized by steady economic development and improved living standards. On a political level, Sultan Qaboos’ ruling coalition that was carefully put in place during the previous two decades has continued to dominate the country’s political decision-making process. As in previous decades, new social actors (tribes and families) were co-opted by providing them attractive material benefits or public sector employment opportunities. However, Oman’s economic performance cannot compare to that of Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE; and its oil and gas resources are moderate. With a labor market that can no longer provide sufficient employment opportunities for its very young population, it has become increasingly difficult to uphold the broad coalition of social actors established in the booming 1970s-80s. With one of the highest unemployment rates in the region (15% in 2010), frustration was widespread, especially among young Omanis; and it is therefore not surprising that some protest did emerge during the Arab uprisings in 2011. However, large-scale protest was unlikely due to the fact that a broad coalition of social actors still had a stake in the continuation of Sultan Qaboos’ rule.\nAs for Kuwait, the 1990-91 Gulf War had profound effects on the country. First of all, the economic impact of the astronomical costs of wartime repairs, coupled with declining oil prices in the 1990s, put strong pressure on the al-Sabah leadership. Even though rising oil prices in the early 2000s removed many of these pressures and led to significant economic growth, a moderate opposition persisted and managed to impose political reforms through the channel of the National Assembly in the 2000s. This assembly has remained an important arena in which the different social constituencies compete and bargain to obtain concessions from the regime. As a result, the opposition has refrained from radicalization, as this would potentially endanger their accrued privileges. In view of this historic channel of institutionalized bargaining and contestation, it becomes apparent why the demands during the 2011 protests remained moderate and, in fact, why not more people took to the streets in the first place. It can be argued that the major social actors in the country were integrated into the ruling coalition and, thus, had an interest in the continuation of the regime headed by the al-Sabah family.\nWhile being less directly affected by the Gulf War, the UAE experienced extraordinary economic development in the two decades leading up to the Arab uprisings. As a result of the country’s very generous welfare policies, the UAE has been facing a remarkable population imbalance, meaning that between 80% and 85% of the inhabitants are foreigners. Given that Emiratis are usually vastly better off than the expatriate non-nationals, a strong feeling of belonging to a privileged and wealthy minority has contributed to national identity and solidarity. This in turn has allowed the previously established ruling coalitions to be consolidated and strengthened without the emergence of social unrest. Given the widespread support that this broad ruling coalition enjoys, it is not surprising that the UAE did not experience any sort of protest during the Arab uprisings.\nVery similar to the UAE, Qatar also experienced extraordinary economic development in the last two decades. On a political level, this facilitated the cementing of the previously established ruling coalition under al-Thani. The al-Thani rulers also set in motion a number of reforms aimed at preventing potential succession disputes of the sort the country has seen in its past, and promoted political participation at the municipal level. Like in the UAE, there is no recent history of social unrest in Qatar. Over half of the sheikhdom’s small and very wealthy population is directly related to the ruling family – and thus the ruling coalition – there is simply no social basis upon which mass protests could emerge. Most Qatari citizens clearly have an interest in the continuation of the established order and, as a consequence, it was no surprise that the Arab uprisings have not gained momentum in Qatar.\nIn Bahrain, the 1990s began with economic difficulties. The political opposition was silenced for much of the 1980s, but the economic crisis of the 1990s initiated the re-emergence of opposition groups calling for the reinstatement of the parliament as well as the release of political prisoners. In the mid-1990s, violent protests erupted in areas primarily inhabited by Shi’a Bahrainis. Coordinated by former British officials contracted by the al-Khalifa government, the regime’s response was draconian. However, this only contributed to even more intense protests throughout the 1990s. In 1999, the regime promised far-reaching reforms, which, however, came to a halt soon after being launched. Political persecution and de facto exclusion of Bahraini Shi’a from senior political and economic positions continued, and protests remained a frequent occurrence in Bahrain throughout the 2000s. The events of 2011 can therefore be placed in context with the country’s long history of regime contestation. Due to the regime’s narrow ruling coalition, protests could easily take root in large, excluded segments of the population that had a strong interest in the fall of the al-Khalifa regime.\nThe experiences of all six monarchies illustrate that while economic patterns clearly influenced coalition arrangements between rulers and opposing forces, they were not themselves the direct source of political unrest (or the absence thereof). In Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE, the fast economic development of the last decades undoubtedly facilitated the rulers’ efforts to strengthen their ruling coalitions. In the three other cases, generally lower economic development made this task more difficult. However, the carefully established broad ruling coalitions in Saudi Arabia and Oman strongly decreased the potential for mass protests, whereas in Bahrain, the exclusion of large social segments from political and economic power heralded continued political instability. In sum, the reasons for the monarchies’ varied experiences during the Arab uprisings lie less in the countries’ overall economic wealth, but rather in the size of the monarchs’ ruling coalitions which translates directly into how political power and economic wealth is distributed.\nThe analysis above demonstrates that in accordance with the hypothesis, five of the six Gulf Monarchies underwent similar historical trajectories. At particular moments in history, the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE were forced to reach out to integrate the major social actors into the ruling coalition and provide them significant economic benefits in return for political loyalty. Bahrain, on the other hand appeared as an outlier, in that the al-Khalifa rulers never reached out to larger segments of the population and development policies further increased discriminatory tendencies in the country. The main reason for this was that the al-Khalifa family could rely on substantial foreign assistance to subdue the opposition at various moments throughout the country’s history. Even though the other monarchies also had close ties to foreign powers, only in Bahrain did a foreign power directly interfer in the day-to-day running of the state’s affairs.\nThis factor constitutes a crucial difference between Bahrain and the other cases and helps to understand why Bahrain experienced mass protest in 2011, whereas the other five monarchies did not. While in the other five cases, the monarchs base their rule on broad ruling coalitions that include major social actors in their countries, the al-Khalifa regime in Bahrain never reached beyond the Sunni-minority to forge alliances with the country’s Shi’a majority. As a result, it was only in Bahrain that mass protests could take hold due to the existence of a large social base with no political and economic interest in the continuation of the al-Khalifa monarchy. The following table summarizes the central actors in the six monarchies’ ruling coalitions as presented in this article:\n|Summary table : The ruling coalitions in the Gulf monarchies|\n|Saudi Arabia||Broad: ruling family, merchant and business elites, religious establishment (Wahhabi community), influential tribes and families|\n|Oman||Broad: ruling family, merchant and business elites, religious establishment (Ibadi community), influential tribes and families|\n|Kuwait||Broad: ruling family, merchant and business elites (Sunni and Shi’a), influential tribes and families|\n|Qatar||Broad: very large ruling family and business elites|\n|United Arab Emirates||Broad: ruling families, business elites and tribal leaders|\n|Bahrain||Narrow: ruling family, (Sunni) merchants and business elites|\nHistory seemed to repeat itself in 2011 when foreign powers again intervened in Bahrain to assure the survival of the al-Khalifa regime. However, this analysis of Bahrain’s past suggests that there is little doubt that in the future, mass protests will erupt again if the regime fails to reconsider its exclusionary policies against large segments of the Bahraini society.\nAbdo, Geneive. “The New Sectarianism, The Arab Uprisings and the Rebirth of the Shi’a-Sunni Divide.” The Saban Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings, Analysis Paper, no. 29 (2013).\nBarany, Zoltan. “The “Arab Spring” in the Kingdoms.” Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies, Research Paper (2012).\nBeblawi, Hazem. “The Rentier State in the Arab World.” In The Arab State, edited by Giacomo Luciani, 85-98.

This’s country with a rich history, which has many legends and myths and originates from #Carthage. It’s the birthplace of the famous Hannibal. During its existence the country suffered several serious shocks since the fall of Carthage in 148 BC. E. and ending with the recent jasmine revolution in 2011 due to which the people of the country had to start improving again. #Tunisia is informally divided into the south, where people live very poorly and relatively richer in the north. Vacation in Tunisia will appeal to lovers of #hotel rest, which have a high level here and could be a good alternative to #Turkey and #Egypt. I was pleased with the choice of dishes, it’s really delicious. The sea is usually calm, but there are seaweed. #Beaches are not very crowded. From the excursions I could recommend a trip to the Sahara Desert and Star Wars set. Despite difficult territorial neighborhood in the coastal zones is very calm. I hope that the Tunisians will continue to improve their country and these places will become one of the most popular holiday destinations soon.

Jean-Pierre RAFFARIN et Jean BIZET\nau nom du Groupe de suivi Retrait du Royaume-Uni et refondation de l'UE\n- Notice du document\n- Synthèse du rapport (136 Koctets)\n- Disponible en une seule page HTML (308 Koctets)\n- Disponible au format PDF (644 Koctets)\n- Tous les documents sur ces thèmes :\nFaced with the migratory crisis, there is an urgent need to renew the governance of the Schengen area and to reinforce the protection of external borders. Cooperation with third countries should in parallel be further developed. The European Asylum System must be renovated.\nThe exceptional migration flow recorded in 2015 - more than a million illegal entries in Europe - and at the beginning of 2016 certainly had a broadly cyclical dimension associated with the Syrian conflict. This episode must not however conceal the existence of a sustainable phenomenon of migration to Europe, linked to several factors: the unstable situation prevailing in various countries in the outskirts of Europe (Afghanistan, Horn of Africa), the economic disparities that induce people to search for better living conditions, growing demographic pressure, in particular in Africa as well as the existence of structured and internationalised networks of smugglers thriving in \"the economics of migration\".\nThis growing and sustainable migratory pressure calls for a strong response from Europe, for political, social, humanitarian reasons, as well as security reasons, bearing in mind the risk of terrorist infiltration.\nThis is all the more necessary since these \"uncontrolled flows\" - to use the wording of the Bratislava Declaration - call into question one of the more concrete and symbolic achievements of European integration, freedom of movement in the Schengen area. In fact, for the past year and a half, this has led to the reestablishment by a certain number of member states of controls at their internal borders.\nMoreover, the migratory factor played a key role in the British vote on Brexit. Europe may succumb to the migratory crisis. Controlling the migratory pressure therefore appears to be a top priority issue for reviving Europe.\nThis crisis has allowed for significant progress: the adoption - in a record period - of a renewed statute of the FRONTEX agency, established in 2004 and whose role was up until then limited to a coordination role. Later referred to as the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, FRONTEX will be equipped with greater resources and new responsibilities, particularly in the support of a failed state or the implementation of a policy on the return of irregular migrants, which should allow them to play a more active role in the governance of the Schengen area borders.\nIt is now necessary to implement this renewed mandate and to take full advantage of all of the possibilities that it offers for the control of migratory flows. This requires in particular that the agency addresses the recruitment and training challengeof jobs under tight deadlines. This also implies that the Member states comply effectively with their obligations within the framework of the rapid intervention reserve, while continuing to ensure the provision of the national personnel (guest officers) for current operations, in a context where their resources in this area are very limited or under pressure.\nFurther steps will however be necessary to equip the European border guards deployed under FRONTEX with the same capacities and powers as the national border guards, particularly as regards access to the European databases. The objective to be addressed, in the long term, is to move towards a real European border service.\nMoreover, the checks made at the external borders must be reinforced: it is necessary to carry out more in-depth checks, involving the routine consultation of the police databases and the verification of travel documents, both on entry and exit, and both in respect of third-country nationals and European citizens. A current process of amending article 8.2 of the Schengen Borders Code should make this possible in the near future. This strengthened control measure is not in itself sufficient: it should be accompanied with a personal status registration - third-country nationals or EU citizens - that cross external borders, in order to ensure the traceability of the flows.\nFor third country nationals, this is the very purpose of the future entry-exit system (SES), which enables real-time monitoring of the validity of short-stay visas, replacing the current passport stamping system. This mechanism is aimed at addressing the phenomenon of \"overstayers\", i.e. migrants that legally enter the EU and remain there until their visas expire, constituting a significant source of illegal immigration. It is therefore desirable to quickly adopt this project, currently under discussion.\nNevertheless, to ensure that these \"smart borders\" 3(*) are effective, the registration of EU citizen data should also be incorporated (in the context of the SES or in that of the SIS II), the latter now representing three quarters of EU external border crossings. Indeed, this is not currently provided for.\nIn addition to the Entry-Exit System, it is worth stressing the importance of the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) for third-party nationals exempt from the visa requirement. This involves obtaining authorisation prior to entry into the Schengen area of around 30 million people each year in order to ensure that they do not present any particular risk from a migratory or security point of view. The verification carried out will consist of cross-checking the personal data of travellers with that of the SIS II and the Interpol and Europol files, as the authorisation given does not exempt these individuals from the obligation to comply with border control procedures. This project, for which discussions have just begun, must also be concluded swiftly, so that it may be put into operation no later than 2020.\nThe strengthening of the borders cannot be the only response to migratory pressure. We must also ensure that departures are restricted, by cooperating with the countries of transit and with the countries of origin.\nAs regards the countries of transit, the agreement signed in 2016 with Turkey, combined with the closure of the Balkan route, has stemmed the flow on the Eastern Mediterranean road, increasing the numbers from several thousand arrivals per day to around fifty today. Cooperation appears to continue, despite a difficult political context. However, the agreement remains fragile and its application subject to the goodwill of Turkey, which puts pressure on the European Union.\nMoreover, the problem still needs to be addressed on the Central Mediterranean route, via which arrivals increased by 20% last year. Indeed, 90% of some 180,000 migrants arrived in Italy in 2016 came from Libya, a country in which it is now difficult, bearing in mind the situation in this country, to consider entering into an agreement on the Turkish model, despite some European countries demonstrating a desire to go in that direction. Meanwhile, European directors decided at the Malta Summit on 3 February 2017 to strengthen support in Libya, particularly in respect of the training of coast guards and the improvement of the living conditions of migrants on the territory.\nAlthough broader cooperation with other transit countries such as Egypt may offer a solution, it is essential for action to also be taken on the migratory routes upstream, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa by encouraging and helping the source countries to better control their borders and to fight against smugglers, by contributing to the stabilisation of conflict-ridden areas and the prevention of crises and by promoting economic development in order to open up opportunities for populations likely to emigrate. In this respect, the idea of linking development aid and the management of migratory flows should not be overlooked.\nThe implementation of these different key areas arises through the conclusion of close partnerships with the countries of origin. This idea is not new. It serves as a basis for \"The Global Approach to Migration and Mobility\", which, since 2005 has constituted the external dimension of the European migratory policy. The objective was to obtain the cooperation of the source countries in the management of migratory flows, particularly the signature of readmission agreements, in return for benefits such as financial assistance and liberalisation agreements or visa facilitation agreements.\nUntil now, this approach has not yielded the anticipated results, as a result of the meagre resources allocated, but also as a result of the reluctance of the countries of origin, in particular Africans, for whom migration is both an economic challenge and a very sensitive societal issue. This was demonstrated by the ongoing difficulties (to establish the identity of people to be returned, to obtain consular travel documents) encountered by the European countries in the implementation of their return policy.\nThe success of the approach led by Spain with several African countries demonstrate that it is possible to obtain the results, by simultaneously mobilising several instruments and levers (development assistance, selective immigration, police cooperation, training and border control material support etc.).\nThis is what the process initiated at the La Valette summit of November 2015 seeks to do and the new migration pacts launched during the European Council of June 2016. On that day, the \"migration pacts\" were signed with five priority countries (Ethiopia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal). An initial assessment was drafted on the occasion of the European Council of December 2016 showed contrasting results, encouraging for Niger, but more mitigated with other partners.\nThis partnership approach needs to be pursued and broadened, by releasing adequate resources to enable the funding of actions, which, if we want to act on the \"root causes of migration\", should not only concern the security aspects and the control of migration flows, but also intends to promote economic development.\nThe Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) may also be mobilised with a view to cooperating with third countries. Of course, the unstable political situation in Libya is currently paralysing the Sophia operation for combating smuggling in the central Mediterranean and the EU Border Assistance Mission in Libya (EUBAM), but the hope is that they may soon move in the right direction.\nIt is, moreover, strategic that the initiative conducted in Niger by the EUCAP Sahel Niger civilian mission, which assists this country through which 90% of West African migrants transit, is continued in order to strengthen the control over its borders and to prevent irregular immigration flows.\nLastly, FRONTEX also has a role to play, its new status offers greater flexibility for cooperating with third countries, particularly thanks to the deployment of liaison officers, and with the possibility that it now has to conduct operations outside of the European Union, this should be of interest to certain Balkan countries.\nUndoubtedly, the objective must be the restoration of freedom of movement within the Schengen area. Beyond the strengthening of the external borders, it is essential in this respect that the country by country assessments conducted by the European Commission are ongoing and shall be supported by corrective measures.\nAt the same time, it may be useful to consider a flexible legal framework, allowing the temporary reintroduction of targeted controls at the internal borders, particularly in respect of their duration, which cannot currently exceed two years. Indeed, we must not rule out that the context that we currently face, particularly in terms of security, is a long-term process.\nMoreover, the governance of the Schengen area, which now lacks visibility, should be improved; a strategic steering should be established within the framework of specific meetings of the interior ministers, separate from those of the Justice and Home Affairs Council.\nFuthermore, the migration crisis requires adaptations to the European asylum system to be made.\nIt highlights, first and foremost, the need for a greater harmonisation of the asylum systems of the member states to reduce the attractiveness of some of these systems and the \"asylum shopping\" phenomenon, which induces secondary migratory movements within the EU. Similarly, it also calls for a more harmonised treatment of asylum applications, particularly through the adoption of a common list of safe third countries.\nIt also raises the issue of the implementation of the principle of accountability of the first entry country for the examination of applications for asylum, which is on the basis of the Dublin regulation. In fact, countries in the front line of arrivals (Italy, Greece) are calling for a fairer share of the burden. Although front-line countries continue to carry the burden of commitment in respect of the management of the external borders of the European Union, it does not appear necessary to incorporate a correcting mechanism into this system allowing for solidarity on a European scale in the case of exceptional migratory pressure, as with the relocation mechanism.\nThis is a difficult subject, which meets with the opposition of the Visegrad Group countries (Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Poland), which are reluctant to host in their respective countries populations of non-European origin. This is why the idea of a \"flexible solidarity\" allowing these countries to participate in the solidarity effort, whether through a financial contribution or through an enhanced participation in the securing of borders, deserves to be explored.\nLastly, the conversion of the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) into a European agency and the substantial strengthening of its resources will be desirable to fully ensure the operational support mission in the front-line states.\nRecommendations on the management of the migratory crisis\n1. Ensuring effective control of the external borders\n- Implementing the renewed Frontex mandate and making use of the possibilities provided by it for the control over migration flows, in particular in respect of the return of irregular migrants to their country of origin;\n- Guaranteeing the agents deployed by Frontex sufficient access to the European databases;\n- Adopting and implementing the entry/exit system (SES) and the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS);\n- Organising a registration in the database of external border crossings, including those made by European citizens.\n2. Strengthening cooperation with the countries of origin and transit\n- Strengthening police cooperation with the countries of origin and transit, with a view to controlling illegal immigration, facilitating readmission operations and combatting smuggling;\n- Contributing to the stabilisation of conflict areas and the prevention of crises;\n- Encouraging the economic development of source countries by means of a substantial aid, without excluding making development aid conditional on the control of flows;\n- To do so, maintaining and amplifying the partnership process launched via the migratory pacts and mobilising the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP).\n3. Renewing the functioning of the Schengen area and the European asylum system\n- Considering a possible relaxation of the duration during which the targeted internal border controls can be temporarily restored;\n- Improving the political governance of the Schengen area;\n- Harmonising the asylum systems of the member states and the processing by the latter of asylum applications, in particular through the adoption of a European list of safe third countries;\n- Introducing into the Dublin regulation a correcting mechanism allowing for solidarity between member States in the event of exceptional migratory pressure, without undermining the principle of accountability of the first entry country.\n* 3 The European \"smart borders\" project.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://biggerslawnandlandscape.com/","date":"2013-05-20T08:37:17Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368698646863/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516100406-00066-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz","language_score":0.8631046414375305,"token_count":422,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2013-20","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2013-20__0__9610705","lang":"en","text":"…And it’s easy to see why!\nSince 1985 Biggers Lawn and Landscape has been committed to creating upscale outdoor living for owners who take pride in their homes.\nWe take pride in making customers houses more like home.

I came away from the experience wanting to go back.\nLesley M Custom Tour, 2017\nBali & The Lesser Sundas In 2019 we found 140 Indonesian Endemics on this tour.\nThe Lesser Sundas is a wonderland for birders. In addition to the usual Oriental families, numerous unusual Australasian species call these islands home, including nearly 90 endemics. This fairly intense tour will be filled with long-days seeking out these highly-sought-after species that are disappearing at a rapid rate!\nLeaders: Tim Avery & Local Guides\nItinerary subject to change due to weather, birding conditions, and other factors out of our control.\nDay 1 - Arrive in Bali Meet, Greet, and go to Sleep\nYou will need to arrive in Bali by 4:00 PM (at the latest). I will work with everyone to determine your arrival time and help you get from the international terminal to our hotel. In the evening we’ll meet our local guide from Bali Birding Tour and enjoy dinner while we talk about the coming weeks of island hopping and birding!\nNight in Bali\nDay 2 - Sumba Tanah Daru National Park\nIn the morning we’ll board a 90-minute flight to the island of Sumba, where despite the majority of native forest being cleared for farming a variety of endemic and highly sought after species are still fairly easy to access in several locations. We’ll board 4WD vehicles for a 4-hour trek into the island's interior to Billa Forest in Manupeu Tanah Daru National Park. Some of the gems we may encounter birding today include the endemic Red-naped Fruit Dove, Sumba Green Pigeon, and Pale-Shouldered Cicadabird. As dusk approaches we’ll listen for and attempt to track down the endemic Mees’s Nightjar, Sumba Boobook, and Little Sumba Boobook.\nNight at Billa Post Guard Ranger Station\nDay 3 - Sumba Billa Forest & Island Endmeics\nThere’s nothing quite like the morning chorus in the jungles of Southeast Asia, and Billa Forest is no exception. Our main targets this morning are the incredible Sumba Hornbill and the Sumba subspecies of the Yellow-crested Cockatoo that shows an orange crest and cheeks and is often elevated to species status as the Citron-crested Cockatoo. But this is just the tip of the iceberg as the forest holds a laundry list of desirable birds including the magnificent Eclectus Parrot, the equally impressive Great-billed Parrot, the stunning Marigold Lorikeet, and the often raucous Red-cheeked Parrot. The list goes on and might include: Cinnamon-banded Kingfisher, Black-naped Fruit Dove, Wallacean Cuckooshrike, Wallacean Drongo, Elegant Pitta, Arafura Fantail, Sumba Myzomela, Apricot-breasted Sunbird, Yellow-ringed White-eye, Ashy-bellied White-eye, and 3 endemic flycatchers with the Sumba, Russet-backed Jungle, and Sumba Brown Flycatchers. But it’s not just the specialty birds that make this island worthwhile, some of the more widespread birds are just as incredible, and we may encounter: Brown Goshawk, Spectacled Monarch, Dollarbird, Cinereous Tit, Helmeted Friarbird, Tenggara Whistler, Blyth’s Paradise Flycatcher, Gray-headed Canary Flycatcher, and Sumba Flowerpecker. After lunch, we’ll transfer to Waingapu where we’ll spend the night. If we missed any of the nocturnal birds the previous night tonight will serve as a backup.\nNight in Waingapu\nDay 4 - Sumba Lewa and Langgaliru Forest\nDuring our previosu tour on Sumba we managed to pick up every island endemic with jsut one full day on the island--but we were pressed for time and could have had better looks at a number of birds. To remedy this we have added another full day on the island to concentrate on many of the highland specialists, as well as any birds that we desired better look of. This will also provide another night for owling if needed.\nNight in Waingapu\nDay 5 - Sumba and Rote Yumba Grasslands and Transfer to Rote\nOur final morning on Sumba will focus on the Yumbu Grassland, where our top target will be the endemic and little-known Sumba Buttonquail—Sumba’s only non-forest endemic species. We will traverse the surrounding grasslands and have a good chance of finding this ground-dwelling game bird. Other grassland species possible include Horsfield’s Bush Lark, Brown Quail, Zebra Finch, and Pied Bush Chat. In the afternoon we’ll take a 1-hour flight to Kupang on the west end of Timor, before boarding a quick 30-minute flight to Rote Island just off the southwest edge of Timor. With time permitting we will bird until dark and work on tracking down the lone endemic nocturnal species—Rote Boobook.\nNight in Rote\nDay 6 - Rote Island Endemics\nDespite its close proximity to Timor, Rote had 4 endemic species, as well as a handful of endemic subspecies (several deserving of species status). Our day here will focus on picking up 3 diurnal endemics with Rote Fantail, Rote Leaf Warbler, and Rote Myzomela. Other targets will include Jonquil Parrot, Pink-headed Imperial Pigeon, Timor Stubtail, Timor Oriole, Timor Warbling-Flycatcher, Black Cuckoo Dove, and Orange-banded Thrush. Aside from the endemics, we will have our hands full at Lake Sotimori as we scope the watebirds here for anything out of the ordinary. In 2019 we found a vagrant Magpie Goose, marking the 1st record for the Lesser Sundas, and just the 3rd for Indoneisa away from West Papua.\nNight in Rote\nDay 7 - Rote and Timor Bipolo Nature Reserve and Kupang Bay\nThis morning we’ll take the 30-minute flight back to Timor and head to the Bipolo Nature Reserve for a full day of birding. While the forest is rather small it still holds a remarkable number of birds. We will focus our efforts here on a trio of pigeons and doves: Pink-headed Imperial Pigeon, Black-backed Fruit Dove, and Rose-crowned Fruit Dove. Other birds we might encounter include Cinnamon-banded Kingfisher, Orange-banded Thrush, Timor Figbird, Timor Friarbird, Buff-banded Thicketbird, Timor Stubtail, Fawn-breasted Whistler, Timor Meliphaga, and Timor Myzomela. Birding the nearby shrimp ponds it is possible we may find Royal Spoonbill, Red-capped Plover, Sunda Teal, Australian Pratincole, and Little Curlew. The fields surrounding the ponds are home to various munias and we will look for both Five-colored Munia and Pale-headed Munia while trying to coax out a rare Timor Sparrow. Other possibilities here include Black-faced Cuckooshrike and Black-faced Woodswallow. In the evening we’ll try for another split from the Southern Boobook complex—the Timor Boobook.\nNight in Kupang\nDay 8 - Timor Camplong, Oelnasi, & Soe\nLeaving early in the morning we’ll head to Camplong to look for Spot-breasted Heleia, White-bellied Bush Chat, Black-banded Flycatcher, Timor Leaf Warbler, and the ultra-skulky Buff-banded Thicketbird. Other more widespread species we are likely to find today include Little Bronze-Cuckoo, Spectacled Monarch, Little Pied Flycatcher, and Sunda Bush Warbler. We’ll end the day birding near Oelnasi looking for Timor Cuckoo-Dove and Timor Nightjar.\nNight in Soe\nDay 9 - Timor Mount Mutis\nHeading to higher elevations, today we’ll embark to the mountains in Fatumnasi and Mount Mutis. The #1 target for birders here is the ultra rare Timor Imperial Pigeon, which would be an extremely lucky find if we had one. We’ll focus on the birds we know we can find including Metallic Pigeon, Island Thrush, Yellow-breasted Leaf Warbler, Mountain White-Eye, and the shy and secretive Pygmy Wren-Babbler. In the interior forest we should encounter a few species like Little Cuckoo-Dove and Snowy-browed Flycatcher, and have our best shot at the elusive Chestnut-backed Thrush—a species rapidly declining due to trapping for the cage-bird trade. Overhead we may encounter flocks of Olive-headed Lorikeet and if we are very lucky, the very rare Iris Lorikeet. Two more highly sought after prizes here include the Tricolored Parrotfinch and endemic yet-described Mutis Parrotfinch.\nNight in Soe\nDay 10 - Timor Endemic cleanup and transfer back to Kupang\nThis morning will serve as a backup for birding near Oelnasi for anything we have missed the past 2 days. We have the entire day to make our way back to Kupang and may visit some of the same sites from our first travel day across the island. Working with our local guides we'll make sure to take advantage of the day for the best birding opportunities.\nNight in Kupang\nDay 11 - Flores Golo Lusang and Ranamese Lake\nToday we have an early direct flight to the highlands of Flores and Ruteng. Upon arrival we will head into the mountains birding for the rest of the morning with a huge list of potential targets like the Crested Ibon (a species of White-eye), Black-fronted Flowerpecker, Golden-rumped Flowerpecker, Russet-capped Tesia, Thick-billed Heleia, Variable Goshawk, Black-naped Fruit Dove, Little Minivet, Black-naped Monarch, Flores Green Pigeon, Tenggara Swiftlet, Russet-backed Jungle-Flycatcher, Bare-Throated Whistler, the near-endemic Brown-capped Fantail, Cream-browed White-eye, Scaly-crowned Honeyeater, and Flores Leaf Warbler. Hold on while we catch our breath—the list continues with White-browed Shortwing (often elevated to species status as Flores Shortwing), the nomadic and endemic Flores Hanging Parrot, Barred Cuckoo-Dove, Dark-Backed Imperial Pigeon, Ruddy Cuckoo-Dove, Rusty-breasted Cuckoo, and Sunda Cuckoo. We will take an afternoon break before heading out in the evening to try for the invisible owl—the Flores Scops Owl that calls these highlands home. This bird can prove quite difficult to see and will require some serious effort.\nNight in Ruteng\nDay 12 - Flores Pagal-Gapong and transfer to Cecer Village\nMuch of what we do today depends on how things went yesterday. We may try birding some of the higher elevation sites around Ruteng if we missed some of the birds we expected. Alternatively we may end up birding around Pagal-Gapong where we start seeing some of the lower elevations species common along the west slope of Flores. We will stay flexible to maximize our birding before we start heading west towards Cicero Village for the night. Here we will see if we can track down Wallace's Scops-Owl, and Mees's Nightjar after dark.\nNight in Cecer Village\nDay 13 - Flores Cecer Village, Puarlolo and Potowangka Road\nBirding the west slope of Flores, we hpe to turn up any remaining endemics like the Flores Monarch, Flores Crow, and the difficult to find Flores Hawk-Eagle. Other good birds here include Ornate Pitta, Chestnut-capped Thrush, Rufous-chested Flycatcher, Crested Heleia, Little Minivet, Red-Cheeked Parrot, and Leaf Lorikeet. This will also be our last chace at Glittering Kingfisher. After lunch, we’ll head back towards Labuan Bajo, and this evening we will try for Moluccan Scops-Owl and Mees’s Nightjar if they’re still missing for our list!\nNight in Labuan Bajo\nDay 14 - Komodo Dragons! Komodo National Park\nWhile there will be birds today, we’ll focus on something far more amazing—today we’ll seek out the incredible Komodo Dragon. Boarding a speedboat in the morning we’ll head to Komodo Island where we will likely see Yellow-crested Cockatoo, Helmeted Friarbird, Wallacean Drongo, Orange-footed Scrubfowl, Green Junglefowl, Sunda Pygmy Woodpecker, and Green Imperial Pigeon. If we’re lucky we’ll also see Pied Imperial Pigeon and with any luck Flores Hawk Eagle and Nicobar Pigeon. And oh yes, there will be dragons! We should expect to see a couple Komodo Dragons, perhaps even having our photo taken near the giant beasts! The boat ride back to Labuan Bajo will not be without birds either. We’ll keep an eye on the beaches for Beach Thick-Knee and Great-billed Heron. Overhead it’s not uncommon to see Brahminy Kites and White-bellied Sea-Eagles. Various terns, shorebirds, and waders may be present on the sandbars here as well.\nNight in Labuan Bajo\nDay 15 - Bali Transfer to Bali and Birding en route to Bali Handara Golf Course\nAfter breakfast, we’ll board a flight back to Bali where we’ll see a more luxurious side of things. Bali is a jewel and has become a major tourist destination for Westerners due to its beautiful beaches, incredible scenery, and fabulous food. While the first portion of our tour focused on endemics on far-flung and little talked about islands, the next few days will focus on the birds of Bali. We could add up to 125 species in our final days of the tour, while we enjoy fantastic food and posh hotels. Getting in and out of Denpasar can prove time-consuming, and passing through Ubud into the mountains could take several hours. But the scenery makes up for the slow moving. We will make our way to Batu Karu jungle temple, a hot spot for Javan Forktail, Little Barbet, Javan Owlet, Crescent-chested Babbler, Javan Flameback, Mees's White-eye, Javan Whistling Thrush, and more.\nNight at Bali Handara Kosaido Golf Course\nDay 16 - Bali Bali Highlands\nWe'll start the day off birding at Bedugul Botanical Garden for Javan Flowerpecker, Indonesian Honeyeater, Javan Hawk-Eagle, Ruddy Cuckoo-Dove, Sunda Warbler, Javan Bush Warbler, Black-backed Fruit-Dove, Javan Hanging Parrot, Chesnut-backed Schimitiar-Babbler, and the elusive Sunda Thrush. With some luck we may also track down Dark-backed Imperial Pigeon and Gray-cheecked Green-Pigeon. After lunch we will visit Buyan Lake for Striated Grassbird, Yellow Bittern, Cinamon Bittern, and White-browed Crake. As our birding comes to a slow we’ll change scenery, dropping out of the mountains to the north coast and heading west, where the monsoon forest looks more like the lowlands the Lesser Sundas, than the interior of Bali we’ve experienced the past two days. After dark, we’ll set our sights on the talkative but often hard to see Sunda Scops Owl.\nNight at The Menjangan\nDay 17 - Bali West Bali National Park\nToday will be a bird packed day. Starting the morning off in a canopy tower we’ll hope for looks at the rare Bali Myna and its cousin the Javan Myna. The Bali Myna is an incredible sight in the wild and one that won’t be soon forgotten. If we’re lucky we might be treated to one of the rarest birds in the world in the critically endangered Black-winged Starling. The illegal cage-bird trade has decimated this species population and West Bali may be the last places this bird exists in the wild in very small numbers. Other birds we hope to see from the tower include Black-thighed Falconet and several species of Green Pigeon. In the forest below we’ll take a short walk in hopes of seeing several birds common to the forest here. Yellow-throated Hanging-Parrot, Changeable Hawk-Eagle, and Coppersmith Barbet are possible. A quick stop near the mangroves and we might pick up Bar-winged Prinia and if lucky Mangrove Whistler. Moving along to the interior forest we’ll hope for great looks at Javan Banded Pitta, Horsfield’s Babbler, and Crested Serpent-Eagle. The habitat quickly turns lusher as we work our way inland and look for birds like Javan Kingfisher, Black-naped Monarch, Hair-crested Drongo, Little Barbet, and a variety of Bulbuls. In the afternoon we’ll turn to the lowlands and the coast around Gillamanuk where we’ll hope for looks at Lesser Adjutant, Blue-tailed Bee-Eater, Zebra Dove, Savanna Nightjar, and Small Minivet. If we’re lucky we might see Red-Breasted Parakeet and Dollarbird as well. Afterward we’ll head to the salt pans northeast of the park to hunt down some shorebirds and other waterbirds. Our main targets will be Javan Plover and Malaysian Plover, but we could easily turn up 10-15 more species of shorebirds with a little effort. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Collared, Sacred, and Small Blue Kingfisher here as well. In the evening we’ll try again for the elusive Sunda Scops-Owl.\nNight at The Menjangan\nDay 18 - End of Tour Flights Home\nThis morning everyone will be able to relax at the resort, eat a leisurely breakfast, go snorkeling if so inclined, and start packing to head home. We’ll head back towards Denpasar late int eh morning, stopping for some souvenir shopping, before making it to the airport in the evening. Here our trip comes to an end as we depart home or wherever your next adventure may take you!\nEnd of Tour!\nWhat's Included & What to Expect\nWhat to Expect on Your Tour\nFor most of the tour, you will have 3-guides leading the way. Tim Avery from Pitta Tours, our local Indonesian expert from Bali Birding Tour, and local guides on Sumba, Rote, Timor, and Flores. The key to the success we had running this tour in 2019 was the incredible local guides. Their up-to-the-date knowledge of the local endemics is an absolute must, and their willingness to go above and beyond to keep looking for birds is top notch!\nDue to the number of guides, porters, and participants, we will typically be traveling in a 3-car convoy with a guide in each car with trip participants. Throughout the tour, we will switch up which vehicles we ride in so everyone gets opportunities to spend time with the local guides as well as Tim and Bayu. On Sumba, we travel a long distance on a rough road in 4WD trucks. The road is bumpy and the ride can be quite jostling--but the reward at the end is incredible birding. On Timor, we will travel in 4WD vehicles to reach our hiking area near Mount Mutis and to later travel deeper into the mountains. On the rest of the islands, we travel in small SUVs mostly on paved roads with some dirt roads to get to specific birds\nAs this is a remote part of the world the accommodations on this tour are highly variable, with good to excellent accommodations available in some areas, but basic in others. At all sites, we use the best accommodations available. In the cities of Denpasar, Kupang, Soe, Ruteng, and Labuan Bajo good to excellent, modern hotels are used with private bathrooms, 24-hour electricity, full-time hot water, air conditioning, and internet. On Sumba, we will be staying 1-night at the simplest accommodation on the tour, a Guard Ranger Station with shared bathrooms. Our local guides provide comfortable beds and clean sheets here for a relatively comfortable night! In Bali, the hotels are very comfortable on all nights with private bathrooms, full-time electricity, and internet.\nBreakfasts are typically Nasi Goreng in the field (fried rice with egg)--although in Bali we will eat several sit-down breakfasts. Lunches are mixed in the field (simple local meals, peanut butter, and bread, fruit, etc) with sitdown lunches in Bali and elsewhere as permitted. All dinners are at local favorite restaurants, and are generally very delicious! Filtered water and soft drinks are included with all meals. Alcohol IS NOT included and is limited in most places to the local lager (beware of the non-alcoholic version in some places!).\nThis is a birding tour, with the focus on getting as many birds as possible, although casual photographers in the group will find some birds for photography. There are no feeders on this tour, so any photography is on the fly as it and will always take second place to making sure everyone sees the bird. The best photography will be on Komodo (with the dragons especially), in West Bali National Park, and on Sumba, where the easiest birding of the tour is typically found. Elsewhere photography is much more limited (especially on Timor, where the birding is the toughest of the tour). None-the-less there will be plenty of photo opportunities on this tour.\nWhile physically, this is for the most part, not a challenging tour (i.e. the walking is largely not difficult), the very early starts and long days (necessitated to look for the many endemic nightbirds), make this more intense than many tours. The Lesser Sundas are a remote part of Indonesia, and therefore accommodations are usually limited, so there is the need to travel a short distance to get to many of the birding sites, meaning earlier rises. Starts of 4 AM to 5 AM are common on this tour, especially at the early end of this time frame. As it gets light early, there may also be even earlier starts, as an optional activity, before rejoining the rest of the group, if some of the nightbirds require this.\nA fair amount of walking is required, although much of it on wide tracks and in fairly easy terrain. There is one, optional, strenuous walk on Timor’s Gunung Mutis. This track is taken slowly, and while uneven the gradient is not that great, only gradually ascending. The toughest aspect of this trip is the very long days, made longer by the pursuit of the many endemic night birds available on this tour. With great effort, many of these are seen by taking long days in the field.\nWeather and Temperature\nEven with the mostly hot temps on Bali, Timor, and Flores, we go up to higher elevations where rain and mist, and cooler (but not cold) temperatures are more likely. November is between the end of the dry season and the beginning of the wet season in this part of the world. While rain is not expected daily, it could rain daily, and there will likely be some precipitation on a number of days. Tropical downpours are possible at any time in Indonesia. This is especially true of the higher elevation sites like Mutis on Timor. Rain gear should be brought at least in the vehicle for each outing. Here are some expected conditions where we'll be birding: On Sumba temperatures average between 70-78F. On Timor temperatures average between 77-87F. Rote is the same as Timor, but low lying so lacking the threat of wetter mountain weather. Flores averages between 67-82F. There is also more chance of rain on Flores mostly in the afternoons and evenings. Komodo averages between 77-88F. Bali average between 74-88F.\nYou will need a passport with at least two blank pages valid for at least six months beyond the date of your arrival in Indonesia. If your passport does not meet these requirements, you will be denied entry into Indonesia. If you traveling on a limited validity passport, such as an emergency passport, you should obtain a visa prior to arriving in Indonesia.\nYou will not need a Visa if you are a U.S. citizen and are staying less than 30 days in Indonesia. You must have a return or onward ticket to another country and have not been previously refused entry or blacklisted.\nIf you are planning on staying longer than 30 days, you will need to purchase a $35 USD visa issued upon arrival valid for up to 30 days for tourism, family visitation, and other purposes. See the Indonesian Immigration’s website for more information. You may extend a Visa-on-Arrival only once for a maximum of 30 days, for another $35 USD. Diplomatic or official passport holders cannot apply for Visa-on-Arrival.\nEntry requirements are subject to change at the sole discretion of Indonesian immigration authorities. If you overstay your visa, you are subject to a fine of 250,000 Indonesian rupiah (about $20 USD) per day and maybe detained and deported. U.S. citizens have been jailed for visa overstays or obtaining the wrong visa class for their purpose of travel.\nWhile you are in Indonesia, always carry your passport, valid visa, and work or resident permit, if applicable. Travelers have been detained for questioning for not having their passports with them.\nItinerary subject to change\nPlease note that this itinerary can be changed due to factors such as accommodations, roads, birding locations, and at the discretion of the local guides and any other unforseen factors. We make every attempt to follow this itinerary as closely as possible.\n- KOMODO DRAGONS!!!\n- The Flores Sea\n- Amazing Scenery\n- Macaques and Langurs\n- Fresh Fruits & Fruit Drinks\n- Kind and Generous Local People\n- Rich and Vibrant Culture\n- Professional Local Guides\n- All in-country Flights & Luggage\n- Ground Transportation\n- Boat to Komodo National Park\n- Admission to Komodo National Park\n- Admission to Bali Barat National Park\n- Admission to Tanah Daru National Park\n- 17-nights Accomodations\n- 2 to 3 meals per day\n- Spotting Scope while Birding\n- Water for Refreshment\n- Birds—we’ll find some birds\n- Some Flammtastic Tour Swag\n- Delightful Conversation about Birds\n- A Thoroughly Enjoyable Time!\n- Tips to local landowners & villagers\nWe also include SFW dad jokes, witty bird puns, and the occasional commentary on things non-bird related!\nWhat's Not Included\n- Flights to and from Tour\n- Alcoholic Drinks\n- Room Service & Additional Food\n- Phone Calls\n- Tips to Guides & Porters\n- Anything not mentioned\nStill have questions?

The mill has two Manitowoc 2200 ring debarkers, a Carthage 96 inch 10-knife chipper, and a General Electric 800 hp motor. The mill can produce 750 to 3,000 tons per week, depending on chip orders.\nThe site covers 87 acres, with 40 acres zoned industrial. Current pulpwood storage capacity exceeds 40,000 cords, with ample room for expansion. Located on a class A highway, Michigan configured pulpwood trucks have access to this woodyard from the Michigan border – 64 miles away. These factors, along with a certified scale, gated access and surveillance cameras make this an ideal location for woodyard operations.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://thefatredneck.com/author/admin/","date":"2018-12-10T02:49:56Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376823236.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20181210013115-20181210034615-00287.warc.gz","language_score":0.944248616695404,"token_count":305,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2018-51","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-51__0__114616918","lang":"en","text":"One of the unfun parts of competition BBQ is the planning of your contest calendar.

Although the butterfly-effect is still\nin force when altering a region of the nation's weather, radionic principles\nplay a greater part than do electrical ones.\nFirst, let's analyze how Hp's and Lp's (low pressure systems) are\nformed by a CB, from an orgonomic perspective. As has been stated, high\ndensities of orgone are accompanied by high concentrations of water (rain\nis the most obvious form), low densities by low water concentrations bringing\nabout dry, blue skies. Under common knowledge, Hp's bring lear skies, and\nLp's cloudy ones. Thus, we can conclude that Lp's are infact dense regions\nof orgone, and Hp's areas of rarefied orgone. Furthermore, CB's \"draw\"\norgone from any point at which it is aimed, leading to the following principle:\n|An Hp forms in the direction a CB is aimed.\nSince orgone flows from low potential (density) to high potential,\nif a CB is aimed eastward, for example, and lowers the potential of eastern\nskies, then the atmospheric orgone stream, which normally runs in the same\ndirection as the jet-stream, stops, reverses, and flows westward to its\nsource, streaming away from the area of low potential. However, western\nportions of the orgone stream beyond influence of the CB are still flowing\nW to E. As this portion meets with the reversed stream, a damming effect\noccurs by which an enormous potential of orgone is created west of the\nCB (see diagram below). Because high potentials of orgone are associated\nwith precipitation, storms spontaneously materialize west of the CB, which,\nonce the W to E orgone flow overpowers the reversed flow, begin to move\neastward again over the CB and surrounding regions in sheets of rain.\nThis former theory, which has proven its validity through countless\nsuccessful weather operations, can be simplified if viewed from a strictly\nmeteorological point, namely that visualizing reversals of the orgone stream\n(which is vital for the radionic aspects of cloudbusting to function\nproperly), one simply concentrates upon Hp's, Lp's, and their respective\nBecause \"high\" and \"low\" are relative terms, one cannot have a \"high\"\nwithout having a \"low\" pressure system. An Hp is always accompanied\nby an Lp. More specifically:\n|An Lp forms in the opposite direction a CB is aimed.\nIf one aims east, an Lp forms west. To fully understand the dynamics\nof pressure systems, one must realize that in the northern hemisphere:\n|Hp's rotate clockwise (cw) and Lp's rotate counter-clockwise (ccw)\nWherever a CB is, an Hp forms which rotates cw due to corriolis forces\n(the same force that makes water in your sink rotate cw) and picks up moisture\nfrom bodies of water in the path of its winds. Experiments have shown that\nwith distances that Hp's form away from a CB, the wind generated by such\na system originates 90 degrees cw from a CB's aim:\nAnd thus the following protocol is discovered:\n|Draw 90 degrees ccw from the desired wind flow direction\nFor example, if one were in Illinois and requires a moist, southerly\nwarm air flow from the Gulf of Mexico, the CB would be pointed east, for\neast is 90 degrees ccw from south. Of course, 90 degrees is not a critical\nnumber; infact, as will be stated later, a an hour-long \"sweep\" from 70\nto 90 degrees ccw with a CB is an effective method of creating large Hp's.\nHowever, please attempt to keep aim within this range, otherwise accuracy\nwill suffer dearly.\nNow let us discuss warm and cold fronts. Warm fronts occur when(assuming\nweather normally flows from W to E accross a region) an Lp west of a location\ncollides with and overruns an Hp:\nBecause the moist, warm, low pressured air is \"lifted\" to higher\naltitude where temperatures are considerably cooler, the Lp's air must\nalso cool. Since cooler air cannot hold as much moisture as warmer air\nper unit volume, the moisture must condense to a form more commonly known\nas rain or snow. The boundary between the air masses in such a case is\na warm front.\nConversely, a cold front is established when an Hp approaches an\nLp from the west, and digs beneath it with the same lifting effect. This\nis rightly called a cold front.\nCombining diagrams of direction of draw, source of moisture, resulting\nHp and Lp, and front gives us the following diagram:\nAs is evident by the diagrams, a cold front is engineered by aiming\nthe CB into the main weather flow, and a warm front by pointing\nHow does one determine the \"weather flow\" described above? Visually,\none may observe cloud movement or direction of wind, but be aware that\noftentimes clouds of different altitudes move at separate directions. What\nwe must be concerned with is the motion of storms in general. It is known\nthat storms follow the jet-stream in their trek accross the country. Thus,\nit is best to consult weather maps of the current jet-stream to know in\nwhich direction one should draw.\nIn summary of fronts and their relation to Macrobusting:\n|Warm fronts are created by aiming away from the jet-stream's\npath of flow, and will follow the direction of the stream once created.\n|Cold fronts are created by aiming into the jet-streams's\npath of flow, but will also follow the direction of flow once created.\nBut what happens when the CB draws in a direction not parallel\nto the jet-stream? The jet-stream then actually changes its course\nto become parallel:\nDon't expect to ever reverse the direction of a jet-stream. At most,\nyou will either create a \"cut-off\" or an \"omega-block\":\nNow that we know in what direction to aim, there are several other\nfactorss to take into account: the elevation of aim, strength/geometry\nof the CB, duration of draw, and sweep of aim.\nFirst, the elevation in part determines range. A water powered copper\npipe such as the following,\naimed at 20 degrees above horizon can be expected to create an Hp\nwith center located almost 500 miles from the draw site. At 45 degrees,\nrange reduces to 200 miles. But since Hp's and Lp's are 100's of miles\nin diameter, even a long-range CB has power to influence local weather,\nalbeit indirectly. A long range is useful for engineering massive Hp's\nwest or NW of a location, which results in a quick, powerful, cold front\nstorm followed by several days of sunshine and cooler weather.\nDue to storm systems moving rather quickly to the east, when making\nwarm fronts (east draw) care must be taken to use short-range aim, since\nif an Hp is formed too far east, so will the warm front, overshooting the\ntarget location by many miles and bringing rain to places that do not need\n|For cold fronts, aim low on horizon and into the jet-stream.\n|For warm fronts, aim halfway to zenith and down the jet-stream.\nSecond, the construction of a CB is obviously of critical importance\nand affects the range at which Hp's are formed. The following list of devices\nare arranged by order of decreasing range:\n1)Long, 12' gutter pipes, water-powered, set up in rack formation.\n2)Single or double copper pipes, 10' by 2\", water powered.\n3)Orgone laser (described below), dry\n4)Furnace pipe, 5ft by 6 - 8 \", water powered.\n6)Trevor James Constable's geometric devices.\nNumbers 1 - 4 are best for Macrobusting, and 5 - 7 for Microbusting.\nGeometry plays an integral role in TJC's equipment, but that is beyond\nthe scope of this article. TJC has been extremely careful about what information\nhe divulges to the public concerning some of his CB's, such as the use\nconical shapes and the golden ratio combined with rotary motion in his\nmore secret devices. Because I have not successfully replicated these devices\nfor lack of information, I cannot offer advice to the reader concerning\nThe orgone laser has been my primary tool and works well as a long-range\nwaterless CB. It consists of a 5' by 8\" sheet metal furnace pipe (available\ncheaply at your local hardware store), whose end is covered with a sheet\nmetal backplate rivetted in place. Windows are cut at 1/4 distance up from\nthe bottom, and an orgone matt made of alternating plastic and aluminum\nfoil sheets (with aluminum on the inside and plastic on the outside) is\nwrapped around the lower half and duct-taped securely:\nThird, duration of draw is the most important of all factors, It\ndecides the difference between a massive hailstorm and gentle rain. For\nlong-range water-powered, it is recommended by experienced CB operators\nthat one draw no longer than one hour. This is critical. For the\norgone volcano and laser, which are more experimental, I have found a draw\ntime of several hours as safe. Occasionally, they were in place overnight\nwithout severe consequences, unless the tornadoes in Texas were the effect\n(which I seriously doubt since the range would've had to have been 700\nhundred miles). When trying novel devices built at home, try them for no\nlonger than 1/2 hour the first attempt, then increase duration the next\nweek and observe the effects if all went well the first time. It is esciting\nto observe radar spots of red on the TV screen, but always be aware of\nthe mortality that goes along with it. How much is a life worth at the\nexpense of your foolery? Think twice before drawing double the norm just\nto see an overkilled hit being spoken about on the six-o'clock news. (I\nhave done this accidentally once, but never again)\nLastly, sweep of aim controlls the cross-span of an Hp. By sweep\nit is meant the periodic repositioning of a CB muzzle to sweep an arc accross\nthe sky over duration of draw (by the way, \"draw\" is an old lable where\norgone is thought to be \"drawn\" into a pipe and directed with a \"sweeping\nmotion.\" With my ion model, it is more likely that ions are shot from the\npipe, but both explanations can bring weather operations to fruition).\nFor example, one may position a CB south-east. Then, after 5 minutes, the\nmuzzle is shifted left or right by an increment equal to the arc divided\nby the number of repositionings (see diagram below). Sweeps can be made\nhorizontally or vertically. Horizontal sweeps broaden the Hp's span, and\nvertical sweeps better reverse the orgone stream , or, if one preffers\nmy point of view, creates a more dense Hp, and thus better storms. Vertical\nsweeps should be raised no higher than 45 degrees above horizon, otherwise\ninaccuracy will result.\nOnce a CB session is completed, one can expect to observe the following:\n1) 18 - 22 hours after the session's mid-point, a small patch of rain roughly\n100 miles in diameter moves accross the region without the presence of\nAt this point the weather map may show signs of an occluded front\n(purple dashed line) forming 500 miles opposite of draw. The small patch\nof rain gives about .15 inches of precipitation in most locations except\nnear the site of draw. Because the air is still litered with an overabundance\nof ions due to Micro-effects, the patch of rain disintegrates above, but\nre-forms once it passes:\nYou will also note that on a sunny day with cumulus clouds abound,\nsuch clouds will also disintegrate and start to \"shred\" above. This is\nclassically blamed on DOR or ORANUR, but it is really due to extreme levels\nof ion density (remember that ORANUR is orgone energized by radioactivity,\nand that radioactivity ionizes air, hence the term \"ionizing\" radiation,\nshowing that air ionized by a radioactive material coupled with a radionic\nelement is equivalent to ORANUR).\nOne to two days after this rain patch moves through, the occluded\nfront will have transformed into a prominent warm front which will finally\ntrek eastward and bring lots of precipitation to the target area, including\nthe draw site (if you empty a bucket of water above an ion generator, the\nwater will soak it. Likewise, a warm front will overpower any residual\nions left in the CB area. Also, the extra two days allowed for ionized\nair to be thoroughly ventilated and diluted.)\nIf, however, the CB was aimed incorrectly and not parallel to the\njet-stream, the bulk of precipitation will land north or south of the target\nNow, to give the reader a better idea of how to go about cloudbusting,\na thorough example of a typical CB session is given. The CB operator is\nlocated in middle Illinois, which is currently under the influence of a\nhigh pressure system to the NE, with SE winds at a gentle breeze. A low\npressure area is south, and due to move east quickly, with more high pressure\nfrom the NW expected to bring no precipitation for the next five days.\nTemperatures are in the upper 80's and the humidity is at 65%:\nThe CB operator decides to bring a premature rain to the region in\nthe form of a warm front, and observes the jet-stream over his location\nfrom NW to SE. Therefore he chooses to aim his CB south east, away from\nthe jet-stream to get a visible hit on his own location. The Lp and Hp\nin place will move out soon to be replaced be the HP north west, but by\ncreating a new Hp southeast of the site (in direction of aim), an Lp will\ninherently form NW, either replacing or modifying the predicted Hp.\nHe utilizes two units, a 10' by 2\" copper pipe and an orgone laser.\nAfter propping both pipes up on lawn chairs at 30 degrees above horizon,\nhe inserts a misting spray nozzle in the copper pipe's end. The copper\npipe is swept from 15 degrees left to fifteen degrees right of SE at intervals\nof five minutes. The laser is positioned low on the horizon to be swept\nvertically upward to 45 degrees over the same duration as the copper pipe,\nan hour's long draw. After an hour, the copper pipe is disconnected and\nstored, but the laser is repositioned to its original aim 15 degrees above\nzero. Later that evening, it, too, is put away.\nTwenty hours later, in the early afternoon of the next day, radar\nshows a frontless patch of rain approaching and overtaking the area, but\nthe CB site receives only sprinkles for less than twenty minutes. (the\npatch of rain is less than 100 miles accross, otherwise it must have moved\nat 300 mph, which is impossible). This is the first wave of precipitation,\nalready forcing a contradiction of the weather man's predictions.\nOver the next two days, an occluded front is observed to spawn and\ndevelop in north Dakota and an Lp is seen arising where the former Hp was.\nAt the end of two days, a warm front has developed, sending moisture from\nthe Gulf into Illinois for a span of fourteen wet hours(see new weather\nmap below). Mission accomplished.\nOf course there are many variations on this theme, but it gives good\ninsight as to what one can expect when Macrobusting. But don't forget that\nwhat is west, must go east, and all storms running over Illinois do not\njust \"disappear\" once the pass the state. They gather in strength as the\nmove eastward, soaking those in the East Coast, particularly in Virginia\nand North Carolina with the example given. It doesn't take a tornado for\none to know that his CB works, so do not attempt this.\nHere is more advice:\nTo create cooler weather draw westward; this allows a Hp to form\nwest, channeling in cool air from the north.\nTo break a drought, find large body of water such as the Gulf, the\noceans, or the Great Lakes, and aim the CB 90 degrees ccw from that direction.\nWinds will cary moisture from those sources and dump it on the target location.\nTo clear an overcast sky (a Microbusting protocol), set up as many\npipes as possible in a tub pointing at all skyward directions, and flood\nthe tub with water, or use one pipe and sweep from the zenith to horizon\nin a helical manner, stopping for several seconds every twenty degrees\nrotationally, then repeat until sky is clear.\nTo make it snow, wait for cold temperatures, and follow the same\ndirection as in breaking droughts, except allow the moisture source to\nclash with cold air over the target location. Snow fall accumulations are\na good way of measuring your accuracy, since incorrect alignment will give\nsnow in a streak north or south of your desired site. The only hard part\nis using a water hose at subfreezing temperatures, unless you use a waterless\nunit. Don't forget the brutality of blizzards and fatal traffic accidents\nthat come with it, so don't overdo it.\nLastly, to check if a front on the current map is natural or man-made,\none should observe the smoothness and continuity of fronts. If they are\nrounded and simple, chances are that they came from natural sources. However,\nif they appear broken and malformed, they are man made (see below). This\nis most obvious in the summer months. Also look for steady streaks of clouds\nin the satellite loops, for they indicate evidence of Microbusting.\nThis ends our discussion on cloudbusting in its typical forms. If\nthe reader chooses to try any of the material herein, he is advised to\nlearn an adequate knowledge base on meteorology and orgonomy before starting.\nReading orgonomy-related books and watching the Weather Channel for a couple\nmonths should suffice, unless one were to employ himself in proffessional\ncloudbusting, in which case many years of study and experience are recommended.\nBecause the sky is finite, other CB operators may be performing their own\nexperiments on the same portion of it, unaware of one another. Then they\nwonder why the results went contradictory to their expectations. It's best\nto always document one's proposed operation at a public forum such as PORE's\ncloudbuster forum, so that other CB operators in the area know to refrain\nfrom getting out their equipment in the same week.\nThere is much more to be discovered in the diverse variations of\ncloudbusting, and while the government is breaking its back trying to change\nthe climate with megawatts of microwave power as in the HAARP project,\nyou can accomplish ten times over what they can in the leisure of your\nown back yard using the gentle principles of nature discovered by the great\nWilhelm Reich.

We just have a certain place that brings us enjoyment and peace. For me, it has always been the river.\nI’ve always had the best times in the river. I remember things like white water rafting in Colorado, kayaking in Oregon, canoeing in Tennessee, and floating on an air mattress in Big Sir, California to reach the Pacific Ocean. Those moments have always been moments that I want to re-live over and over in my life. There is just something about the river that does it for me.\nWell, Yesterday I had a new experience with the river where I ran on the trail that follows it through the city of Murfreesboro, Tn. About five minutes into my run I became over filled with joy. I just began laughing and celebrating. I didn’t know if it was because it was so beautiful, or because it was so calm, or if I had just finally got in shape enough to be able to run for more than 5 minutes.\nThis run was one of the best times I’ve had since I’ve moved to TN, and it calls me back. I think I may have even had a dream last night about running there again. Today was my day off of running, and I’m feeling the excitement of running there again. Maybe tomorrow, if there is an opportunity?\nSo what’s the cool tie in with me loving the river. Well, it’s kinda extra special to me for two reasons. The first reason is that my last name “Starbuck” actually means “by the water.” In even greater detail, it means by the brook. A brook is smaller than a river, but it’s the same idea. There were certain times yesterday when the river seemed more like a brook than a river, but I also know it’s the end of summer, so there is less water flowing.\nThe other reason why it is special to me is because I’ve always had a draw to Psalm 1. I never knew why I loved the Psalm so much, but it always seemed like it was the echo of my heart. I could always imagine being the guy who is planted by the streams of water and seeing the fruit come out over time. The Psalm tells us to not be in certain places, and not be with certain people, but to stay rooted next to the river, and then we will be successful in what ever comes along.\nThis Psalm and our last name actually played a huge part in why we gave Seth his middle name “David.” David wrote Psalm 1 and one of the first things we find standing out from the very beginning is to be planted by the water.\nNow, we live by the river here in Tennessee. Though I’ve lived by the ocean and I’ve lived by the lake, I am just so happy to be able to live by the river. This particular river has a lot of history, and has a lot of more story coming. I am hoping that more than anything, God will help me to not only live by the river here in TN, but to also live by the river of God that brings me through the seasons of His Kingdom coming on earth.\nAs I continue to run by the river, I will constantly remember the images God has spoken to us. “Come to me if you are thirsty,” “I am the living water,” “Be still and know that I am God,” & “He shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, and in it’s season, he will produce fruit. Whatever he does, he will prosper.” God thank you for the River, and that you supply our needs as you run through the depths of our hearts and minds and deliver us your fresh living water!\n– Seth, I will do all I can to help you stay by the river of God. This is where we belong, and there is no better place to be. Even when the storms of life come, we will build our house upon the solid rock of Jesus Christ. I love you buddy, and as long as God wills it… we will be planted “by the river.”","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://www.justbloglife.com/places/","date":"2023-02-03T07:06:09Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500044.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230203055519-20230203085519-00696.warc.gz","language_score":0.9675613641738892,"token_count":94,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-06","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-06__0__99014772","lang":"en","text":"I've been lucky enough to have been gorge walking in the Brecon Beacons or gorge scrambling, as some people call it, many times over the years.

It lies in the upper Indus plain on the Ravi River, a tributary of the Indus.\nLittle is known of the history of the settlement prior to the Muslim period. Hindu legend attributes the founding of Lahore to Lava, or Loh, son of Rama, after whom it is said to have been named Lohawar. It was the capital of the Ghaznavid dynasty from 1152 to 1186. During the 14th century the city was repeatedly attacked by the Mongols, and in 1524 the city was captured by the Mughal Babur's troops. Lahore's golden age began under the Mughals, and the city occasionally became the place of royal residence. It was greatly expanded during the reign of Shah Jahan (1628-57) but declined in importance during the reign of Aurangzeb.\nFrom the death of Aurangzeb (1707) to the accession of Ranjit Singh (1798), Lahore was subjected to Sikh insurrections. With the invasion of Nader Shah, Lahore became an outpost of his empire, but its history thereafter was associated with the rise of the Sikhs. Under the Sikh ruler Ranjit Singh (1799-1839) it once more became the seat of a powerful government but declined again under his successors. The city passed under British rule in 1849. When the Indian subcontinent received independence in 1947, Lahore became the capital of West Punjab province, later known as Punjab province. In 1955 it was made the capital of the newly created West Pakistan province, which was reconstituted as Punjab province in 1970.\nLahore consists of an old city area flanked on the south by newer commercial, industrial, and residential areas that are in turn ringed by suburbs. The old city was at one time surrounded by a wall and a moat, but these structures have been replaced, except in the north, by a garden. A circular road around the rampart provides access to the old city by 13 gates. Within the old city are found the mosque of Wazir Khan (1634) and the northern wall of Lahore Fort, which display magnificent examples of kashi, or encaustic tile work. Other old-city landmarks include the impressive Badshahi (Imperial) Mosque, built by Aurangzeb and still one of the largest mosques in the world; Ranjit Singh's buildings and mausoleum; the Shahdara gardens, containing the tomb of the Mughal emperor Jahangir; and the magnificent Shalimar gardens, laid out east of the city in 1641 by Shah Jahan and consisting of about 80 acres (32 hectares) of terraced gardens containing numerous fountains. An important educational centre, Lahore is the seat of the University of the Punjab (1882), which is the oldest university in Pakistan. Also located in Lahore are the Faisal Shaheed University of Engineering and Technology and numerous colleges and institutes.\nLahore is a leading commercial and banking centre, and it also contains about one-fifth of Pakistan's industrial establishments. Textiles are the single most important industry, but there are many rubber factories, as well as iron, steel, and other mills. It is also noted for gold and silver handicrafts. Railways and air services link Lahore with other major cities of Pakistan. Pop. 2,952,689.\nASSOCIATION WITH CHANDIGADH\nChandigarh, city, joint capital of Haryana and Punjab states and a union territory of India, situated in the plain just south of the Shiwalik Hills.\nA major communications junction, the city of Chandigarh is connected by road and rail with Delhi, Ambala, Kalka, and Shimla. The site was selected to replace the former capital city, Lahore, lost to Pakistan at partition in 1947. Planned by the Swiss-born architect Le Corbusier, in collaboration with Indian architects, it is divided into rectangular sectors. Government buildings are located in the north, and there is a large artificial lake in the northeast. The industrial areas in the southeast are separated from the city by a greenbelt. Chandigarh is the seat of Panjab University and many affiliated colleges, including nursing and engineering institutes. There is also a government museum and art gallery.\nThe union territory of Chandigarh has an area of 44 square miles (114 square km); it contains the city of Chandigarh and the immediate surrounding region. Pop. (1991 prelim.) city, 502,992; metropolitan area, 574,646; union territory, 640,725.\nThe Turkish conquest.\nBy 1186 the Ghurids had destroyed the remnants of Ghaznavid power in the northwest and were in a favourable military position to move against the North Indian Rajput powers. The conquest of the Rajputs was not easy, however. The Cauhans (Cahamanas) under Prthviraja defeated Muhammad of Ghur in 1191 at Tarain (Taraori), northwest of Delhi, but his forces returned the following year to defeat and kill the Rajput king on the same battlefield. The victory opened the road to Delhi, which was conquered in 1193 but left in the hands of a tributary Hindu king. Muhammad of Ghur completed his conquests with the occupation of the military outposts of Hansi, Kuhram, Sursuti, and Sirhind and then returned to Ghazna with a large hoard of treasure, leaving his slave and lieutenant, Qutb-ud-Din Aybak, in charge of consolidation and further expansion. (see also Index: Taraori, Battles of)\nQutb-ud-Din displaced the Cauhan chief and made his headquarters at Delhi in 1193, when he began a campaign of expansion. He was soon in control of Varanasi (Benares; 1194), Badaun, Kannauj (1198-99), and Kalinjar (1202).\nIn the meantime, an obscure adventurer, Ikhtiyar-ud-Din Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji of the Ghurid army, conquered Nadia, the capital of the Sena kings of Bengal (1202). Within two years Bakhtiyar embarked upon a campaign to conquer Tibet in order to plunder the treasure of its Buddhist monasteries as well as to gain control of Bengal's traditional trade route leading to Southeast Asian gold and silver mines. The attempt, however, proved disastrous. Bakhtiyar managed to return to Bengal with a few hundred men, and there he died in 1206.\nThe availability of a large number of military adventurers from Central Asia who would follow commanders with reputations for success was one of the important elements in the rapid Ghurid conquest of the major cities and forces of the North Indian plain. Other factors were important as well; better horses contributed to the success of mobile tactics, and the Ghurids also made better use of metal for weapons, armour, and stirrups than did most of their adversaries. Perhaps most important was the tradition of centralized organization and planning, which was conducive to large-scale military campaigns and to the effective organization of postcampaign occupation forces. While the Rajputs probably saw the Ghurids as an equal force competing for paramount power in North India, the Ghurids had in mind the model of the successor states to the 'Abbasid caliphate, the old Iranian Sasanid empire, and particularly the vast centralized empire of Mahmud of Ghazna.\nSoon, however, the Ghurid possessions were insecure everywhere. In 1205 Sultan Muhammad of Ghur suffered a severe defeat at Andkhvoy (Andkhui) at the hands of the Khwarezm-Shah. News of the defeat precipitated a rebellion by some of the sultan's followers in the Punjab, and, although the rebellion was put down, Muhammad of Ghur was assassinated at Lahore in 1206. The Ghurids at the time held the major towns of the Punjab, of Sindh, and of much of the Gangetic Plain, but almost all the land outside the cities still was subject to some form of control by Hindu chiefs. Even in the Doab (the land between the Ganges and the Yamuna rivers, near Delhi) the Gahadavalas held out against the Turks. Most significantly, the chiefs of Rajasthan had not been permanently subdued.\nCULTURAL ASPECTS OF THE LATE PRECOLONIAL ORDER\nEven as it has sometimes been maintained that the 18th century witnessed a general decline in material life, the cultural life of the period also has often been denigrated. In fact, there appears to be scant justification for such a portrayal of trends. Even Delhi, whose economic condition unequivocally declined, housed a number of major poets, philosophers, and thinkers in this epoch, from Shah Waliullah to Mir Taqi Mir. Further, as regional courts grew in importance, they tended to take on the function of the principal patrons of high culture, whether in music, the visual arts, or literature. It is thus also in relatively dispersed centres, ranging from Avadh to Bikaner and Lahore to Thanjavur, that one finds the courtly traditions of culture persisting. Thanjavur under the Marathas is a particularly fine example of cultural efflorescence, in which literary production of a high quality in Tamil, Telugu, Sanskrit, and Marathi continued, with some of the Maratha rulers themselves playing a significant direct role. Similarly, it is in 18th-century Thanjavur that the main compositions of what is today known as the Karnatak tradition of Indian classical music came to be written, by such men as Tyagaraja, Muttuswami Diksitar, and Syama Sastri. Finally, the period brought the development of a distinct style of painting in Thanjavur, fusing elements imported from the north with older local traditions of textile painting.\nThis vitality was not restricted purely to elite culture. To begin with, many of the theatre and musical traditions, as well as formal literary genres of the period, picked up and incorporated folk influences. At the same time, the melding of popular Hinduism and Islam gave a particular flavour to cultural productions associated with pilgrimages and festivals. More than in earlier centuries, the tradition of long-distance pilgrimages to major centres from Varanasi to Rameswaram increased and can be seen to fit in with a general trend of increasing mobility. It was common for post-Mughal states to employ mercenary soldiers and imported scribes and clerks. In 18th-century Hyderabad, for example, Kayasthas from the north were employed in large numbers in the bureaucracy, while in Mysore, Maharashtrian Brahmans were given fiscal offices as early as the 1720s. It is apparent that the mobility of musicians, men of letters, and artists was no less than that of these scribal classes. When a major new political centre emerged, it rapidly attracted talent, as evidenced in Ranjit Singh's Lahore. Here, Persian literature of high quality was produced, but not at the cost of literary output in Punjabi. At the same time, new developments were visible in the fields of architecture and painting. Farther to the north, the principality of Kangra fostered an important new school of painting, devoted largely to Vaisnava themes. Indeed, a surprisingly large proportion of what is understood today to be part of India's \"traditional\" culture is attributable to this period and also to the preceding century.\nPlans for building a new city on the present site of Chandigarh were begun soon after the partition of India in 1947, when the old British province of Punjab was divided into two parts. Pakistan was ceded the larger western part, including the Punjabi capital of Lahore, which left the Indian state of Punjab without an administrative, commercial, or cultural capital. It was hoped that a magnificent new capital for the state would become a symbol of modernity, heal the wounded pride of Indian Punjabis, and house thousands of mostly Hindu and Sikh refugees who had fled from Muslim-dominated Pakistan.\nThe site chosen for the new Punjabi capital, scenically located at the foot of the Himalayas, required the relocation of some 21,000 people from 58 villages. The city was planned by the Swiss-born architect Le Corbusier, aided by Indian architects and town planners. Construction began in the early 1950s, and most of the city was completed in the early 1960s.\nThe Chandigarh union territory was formed in 1966, when Punjab was reorganized along linguistic lines into two new states--predominantly Hindi-speaking Haryana and Punjabi-speaking Punjab. The city, straddled between Haryana and Punjab, was made the shared capital of the two states. Under the terms of the 1986 Punjab Accord, the entire union territory was to become part of Punjab, while the agriculturally productive, mostly Hindi-speaking areas of Fazilka and Abohar were to be transferred from Punjab to Haryana. Because of political uncertainty and protracted violence in Punjab, the agreement was not carried out.\nTHEATRE IN PAKISTAN\nDuring the second half of the 19th century, Urdu was the main spoken and written language of the northern half of the subcontinent and understood in almost all the principal cities. The Parsis (originally Zoroastrians from Iran who settled on the coast of Bombay), comprising a wealthy community with sharp business acumen, were the pioneers in establishing a commercial theatre, that lasted from 1873 to 1935 and influenced all the other regional theatres. Though located mainly in Bombay and Calcutta, the Parsi companies toured the subcontinent with huge staffs, sets, and an army of players.\nThe best known playwright of this period is Agha Hashr (1876-1935), a poet-dramatist of flamboyant imagination and superb craftsmanship. Among his famous plays are Sita Banbas, based on an incident from the Ramayana; Bilwa Mangal, a social play on the life of a poet, whose blind passion for a prostitute results in remorse; and Aankh ka Nasha (\"The Witchery of the Eyes\"), about the treachery of a prostitute's love, with realistic dialogue of a brothel. Many of Hashr's plays were adapted from Shakespeare: Sufayd Khun (\"White Blood\") was modelled on King Lear, and Khun-e Nahaq (\"The Innocent Murder\") on Hamlet. His last play, Rustam-o-Sohrab, the tragic story of two legendary Persian heroes, Rustam and his son Sohrab, is a drama of passion and fatal irony.\nProductions by Parsi theatrical companies were large-budgeted affairs. Plays opened with the actors in full makeup and costume, their hands folded and eyes closed, singing a prayer song in praise of some deity, and generally ended in a tableau. Sometimes at curtain call the director rearranged the tableau in a split second and offered a variant. Actors were required to know singing, dancing, music, acrobatics, and fencing and to possess strong voices and good physical bearing. In improvised auditoriums with bad acoustics and packed with more than 2,000 people, actors' voices reached the farthest spectator. Plays began at 10 o'clock and lasted until dawn, moving from comedy to tragedy, from pathos to farce, from songs to the rattle of swords, all interspersed with moral lessons and rhyming epigrams. The droll humour and realism of the comic interludes remain unsurpassed in contemporary Urdu drama. Important playwrights of this period were Narain Prasad Betab, Mian Zarif, and Munshi Mohammed Dil of Lucknow. All took inspiration from Hindu mythology and Persian legends, transforming these tales into powerful dramas.\nImtiaz Ali Taj (1900-70) was a bridge between Agha Hashr and contemporary Pakistani playwrights. His Anarkali (1922), the tragic love story of a harem girl, Anarkali, and Crown Prince Salim (son of Akbar the Great), unfolds the love-hate relationship of a domineering emperor and his rebellious son. Brilliant in treatment and character analysis, this play has been staged hundreds of times by amateur groups and has entered the list of Urdu classics.\nIn the absence of a professional company, Urdu theatre has found it difficult to strike roots. After 1947 many Muslim actors and writers were absorbed by the Indian film industry in Bombay, and they found it difficult to adjust their great talent to amateur theatrical clubs. All the same, plays have been staged in Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi. The best productions have been those dealing with topical themes--refugee problems, new adjustments, the corrupt bureaucracy, the Kashmir issue, and other sociopolitical issues. Agha Babar in Rawalpindi produced Burra Sahib (1961: \"The Big Boss\"), an adaptation of Gogol's Government Inspector, setting it in Pakistan. Tere Kuce se Jub Hum Nikle (\"Thrown Out of Your Lane\"), by Naseer Shamshi, describes the pathetic condition of an aristocratic family in Delhi that is forced to leave home because of communal riots. In Lal Qile se Lalukhet Tak (\"From the Red Fort to Lalukhet\"), by Khwajah Moinuddin, the comedy arises out of the pitiable condition of the refugees who leave their well-settled existence in Delhi dreaming of prosperity, take a tedious journey, and arrive homeless in Karachi to find shelter in thatched hovels. Ali Ahmed, an avant-garde actor-director in Karachi, presents his plays with polished stagecraft and esoteric appeal.\nLahore remains the centre of amateur theatre based on the tradition of the late directors A.S. Bokhari and G.D. Sondhi, both former principals of the Government College in Lahore. In 1942 G.D. Sondhi built the Open-Air Theatre, situated on a small artificial hillock in the Lawrence Gardens and perhaps the best in all of South Asia. It has remained the centre of dramatic contests and festivals and is a favourite of visiting dancers and actors.\nThe actor-playwright Rafi Peer, with his knowledge of Western theatre as a result of his training in Berlin in the 1930s, has helped to develop Pakistani theatre. Professional in approach, he has produced radio and stage plays and has been a critical colleague of A.S. Bokhari and Imtiaz in the revival of amateur theatre.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://padca.co.za/social-work.php","date":"2021-09-24T05:47:24Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057504.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20210924050055-20210924080055-00247.warc.gz","language_score":0.9144514799118042,"token_count":471,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2021-39","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-39__0__38209435","lang":"en","text":"General Enquiries about the Clubs:\nPADCA Reception: 033 345 4711\nThe professionalism of this small but important team ensures PADCA continues to meet that goal of helping seniors and their families to find a way through a maze of problems and challenges, and to explore different options to best meet each individual’s circumstances.\nOur dynamic and pro-active team of Social Workers are also called on to deal with a multiplicity of situations and needs, their knowledge of both the PADCA resources and those available in the community ensures insightful guidance.

This makes the localization of component procurement a big issue for global OEMs. Localization brings several benefits; if within the country, effects from exchange rate fluctuation can be cut, and even if among neighboring countries, transportation lead time and logistic cost can be saved and depending on conditions, customs duty as well.\nASPINA’s Mexico plant: ASPINA, S.A. de C.V.\nASPINA, S.A. de C.V. (Mexico plant) was established in 2015 upon receiving high demands from our North American customers. It is located in Irapuato, a city in the central region of the state of Guanajuato. Irapuato is an important center for trade and transportation as well as a site of automotive and chemical manufacturing plants. ASPINA’s Mexico plant is only 25 minutes from Guanajuato international airport, and a two or three hour flight from cities including Los Angeles, Houston, and Mexico City. An excellent location to supply our products to customers in North America. Our Mexico plant has certification for IATF16969 and ISO9001 (since 2016), and OEMs audit approvals for GM, Ford, Stellantis, and JLR.\nASPINA, S.A. de C.V.

The automation not only improves productivity, but also stabilizes product quality. For example, vibration and noise levels of our seat ventilation blowers are reduced to low levels. The equipment for this automated line is manufactured in-house, using our advanced process engineering capabilities.\nProcurement localization with ASPINA’s Mexico plant brings benefit to U.S. customers\nThe COVID-19 pandemic caused supply chain disruptions, and shortage of containers not only delayed logistics but also rose transportation costs. Our Mexico plant solves these problems and greatly supports U.S. customers by supplying products from Mexico. Also, with shorter lead time, less inventory is in transit, and the easier it is to maintain quality and respond to customer demand in a timely manner.\nBenefits of ASPINA’s Mexico plant for U.S. customers:\n- Tariff free for specific products\n- Low transportation cost\n- Low inventory at customer’s warehouse\n- Short lead-time\n- Automated assembly lines\n- High productivity\n- Stable product quality\nIf you have any questions or would like more information on our manufacturing plants or products etc., please feel free to contact us from our form.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://noecs.com/food-paradise.html","date":"2022-09-29T18:33:44Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335362.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20220929163117-20220929193117-00140.warc.gz","language_score":0.9060876369476318,"token_count":1318,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2022-40","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-40__0__91415920","lang":"en","text":"It's Chicago deep dish vs. Detroit pan and New York vs. St. Louis thin crust as pizzerias across the country roll out the dough for the pizza playoffs.\nFrom seriously saucy barbecue sandwiches to nachos on a pizza and the perfect burger for Dirty Dancing, these restaurants serve up some of the best dishes in America's heartland.\nRestaurants reveal the dishes that have stood the test of time and provide soul-satisfying experiences for their customers, from chocolate egg creams at a 1950s soda fountain in NYC to a San Francisco bakery reimagining Old World confections.\nPizzerias share their most delicious spins on America's favorite pie, from a family-run institution in Chicago specializing in stuffed pizzas to a one-of-a-kind pizza palace slinging outrageous dessert pizzas.\nGreat food calls for great entertainment, and these places offer spectacles that make memorable side dishes to incredible meals -- from Tex-Mex meatballs fueling music fans in Dallas to a comedy show featuring fresh Atlantic seafood in Maine.\nThese places dish up all the meat you can eat, from a bottomless buffet of skewered meats in NYC to mile-high meaty sandwiches in Colorado.\nDiners get a fresh take on fast food at these unique fast-casual restaurants across the country, from a New Jersey sandwich shop specializing in gourmet hoagies to a Los Angeles hot dog joint serving up bacon-wrapped dogs and fully-loaded fries.\nDiners get the most from the coasts at these seaside eateries across the country, from a one-of-a-kind salmon sandwich and fast casual ceviche to bombastic burgers and decadent pub fare.\nDiners check out the dishes you just gotta try before you die, from Philly's life-changing roast pork sandwiches and the best burger in NYC to a cavalcade of Cajun flavors at the best bayou brunch around.\nIt's Sunday Funday every day in Food Paradise so we're checking out the most extreme brunch spots in the United States!

Heavy tanks generally end up around a large rocky hill to the west, fighting along a gully there.\nThe bridge in the middle can be good place for lightning maneuvers into the enemy base, but these should be done with caution.\nThe other main point of conflict is the hill in the East, where many tanks go and fight around a couple of small rocks.\nThis can be a very dangerous place for people who are not aware of what is going on around them.\nThe map has many, many sniping positions that can be used well, and Spgs generally hang out at the back. This is a very good and fun map, but it can be challenging too.\nHow to play Tundra\nTundra is one of those maps in World of Tanks that is difficult for individual players to shine and tends to be decided very quickly early on. The map isn’t very large and has a ton of different routes, elevations, and nooks to throw a wrench in your plans. Usually the outside flanks decide the battle since the majority of the brawling happens there early. The center is often forgotten. However, it can swing the battle with fewer tanks as long as your team doesn’t die early on. This World of Tanks Tundra strategy provides key routes, tactics, and positions to use to excel on Tundra in standard battles.\nA mountain in the east offers the possibility of dominating from the high ground, while the central part of the map offers a wide range of tactical advantages. The village in the west could offer some linear combat for heavy tanks.\nTundra can be described as one of the least tactical maps in World of Tanks. Because there are so many routes one can choose to go down, it is almost impossible to describe how to go about your business on this map.\nThere are many sniping positions throughout the map, so tanks with good dispersion values will have fun here. Heavy tanks can brawl anywhere from the river valley to western valley to the city in the west. Medium tanks can take the east hill and fare pretty well, or they can take the bridge that connects the two bases. This is a natural choke point though, so you'll have to bring some backup. Scouts can use the river valley under the bridge to spot. It is also fairly easy to get out of. SPG's will find the tall formations and mountains a bit annoying, but they do have a good chance of success. Tank destroyers with good frontal armor will love the western valley as well as the bridge.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.advancedauctionsolutions.com/auction-details/?auctionGuid=297eedd5-98a9-411f-a77b-46687d79f347","date":"2020-04-08T11:30:04Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371813538.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200408104113-20200408134613-00224.warc.gz","language_score":0.7504104375839233,"token_count":225,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2020-16","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-16__0__53418349","lang":"en","text":"McCool Land Auction\n• Thursday April 2, 2020\n• Grady County Tract Onsite Auction Start Time: 2:05pm\n• Caddo County Tract Onsite Auction Start Time: 3:35pm\nTract 1: Grady County 80 acres mol, 3 miles south of Pocasset right off 81 Hwy (watch for signs)\nTract 2: Caddo County 100 acres mol, 8 miles West of 81 HWY on CR 1250 (just N of Pocasset) then N 1 mile on CS 2750 then W 1/8 mile to entrance on N side of Rd\nFor any questions regarding these properties please reach out to Rick Scrivner, 405-919-2271 with Advanced Auction Solutions and Tami Utsler with Clear Choice Realty and Auction LP, 405-406-5235.\nPlease see DOCUMENTS for the full information on each land tract.\nClick the links below for the most recent Tax Information on each property:\nGRADY COUNTY LAND TRACT\nCADDO COUNTY LAND TRACT","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://sellogs.com/logistics-leads-report-2022/","date":"2023-06-08T01:59:40Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224654031.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20230608003500-20230608033500-00715.warc.gz","language_score":0.9191423654556274,"token_count":712,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-23","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__115481728","lang":"en","text":"The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has recently released Logistics Ease Across Different States (LEADS) reports.\nThe Logistics Ease Across Different States 2022 (LEADS) is a survey that aims to boost logistics performance in India. The survey will help identify the challenges faced by various states and unions, and provide solutions for these challenges.\nLogistics is an integral part of a company’s business and it is not just about getting the goods to the customer. It is about reducing the cost and making sure that they are delivered on time, every time.\nIndia is one of the most diverse countries in the world and this diversity is also seen in logistics. The Logistics Ease Across Different States(LEADS) is an indigenous data-driven index to assess logistics infrastructure, services, and human resources across all states and UTs. Earlier this survey used a ranking system that identified all states into three categories based on the performance assessment – Achievers, Fast Movers, and Aspirers. The Achievers are the states and UTs that get 90% or above, Fast Movers are the states and UTs that get between 80 to 90%, and Aspirers are the states and UTs that score less than 80%.\nHowever LEADS 2022 uses a classification-based grading system that identifies four categories as per their logistics ecosystem – Coastal States, Hinterland/Landlocked States, Nort-Eastern States, and Union Territories. The State or Union Territory is assessed for performance among that particular category as Achievers, Fast Movers, and Aspirers.\nLEADS 2022 REPORT –\nAchievers- States, and UTs that get 90% or above.\nChandigarh, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.\nThe topper is Maharashtra.\nFast Movers- States and UTs that get between 80 to 90%\nKerala, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Puducherry, Sikkim, and Tripura.\nAspirers – States, and UTs that score less than 80%.\nBihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Mizoram, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Ladakh, Nagaland, Jammu and Kashmir, and Arunachal Pradesh.\nThe survey also has a target to understand the challenges faced by various stakeholders involved in the logistics industry and how they can be tackled with better planning and execution.\nThe findings of this survey will help in formulating appropriate strategies which will lead to improved performance in the logistics sector in India. It can save about 10 lakh crore rupees per year by enhancing the efficiency of logistics and reducing the cost of transport considerably.\nThe LEADS 2022 report will help the PM Gati-Shakti National Master Plan(PMGS-NMP) and National Logistics Policy(NLP) to map the infrastructure for logistics, services, and rules and regulations. This would enable the government to determine the gaps and fill them and attain data-driven multimodal connectivity.

As our cities continue to grow and evolve, it becomes essential to foster an enabling environment that promotes inclusivity, connectivity, and safety for all residents. One emerging concept that holds great promise in this regard is the idea of \"fifteen-minute cities.\" In this blog post, we will explore how the concept of fifteen-minute cities can contribute to the creation of inclusive urban environments and enhance safety within our communities.\nThe first step to understanding what constitutes the \"fifteen minute city\", we first need to understand the enabling environment. An enabling environment refers to the set of conditions, policies, and infrastructure that support and promote sustainable development and the well-being of communities. In the context of urban development, it encompasses factors such as accessible transportation, affordable housing, quality healthcare, educational institutions, green spaces, and community engagement. By fostering an enabling environment, cities can become catalysts for positive change and empower individuals from diverse backgrounds.\nFifteen-minute cities are an innovative urban planning concept that focuses on creating neighborhoods where residents can access most of their daily needs within a short distance, usually within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from their homes. This approach emphasizes the importance of mixed-use development, ensuring that essential services, amenities, and job opportunities are easily accessible, reducing the need for long commutes and enhancing the overall quality of life.\nOne of the primary goals of inclusive urban development is to create cities where everyone has equal opportunities to thrive and participate in community life. By implementing the principles of the fifteen-minute city, urban planners can design neighborhoods that prioritize community spaces, public parks, and social infrastructure, fostering interactions among residents and promoting a sense of belonging. Such initiatives can help break down social barriers and create spaces that celebrate diversity and inclusivity.\nSafety is a fundamental aspect of urban living, and it becomes even more critical in densely populated areas. The concept of the fifteen-minute city aligns with the goal of creating safe communities by reducing the reliance on private vehicles, minimizing traffic congestion, and prioritizing pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. Additionally, by ensuring that essential services like healthcare facilities and emergency services are within reach, response times can be significantly improved, enhancing overall safety and well-being.\nTo realize the vision of inclusive cities and fifteen-minute neighborhoods, collaboration and citizen engagement are key. The involvement of local residents, community organizations, and stakeholders in the planning process allows for diverse perspectives to be considered, ensuring that the development plans reflect the needs and aspirations of the community. Moreover, fostering a sense of ownership and participation empowers residents to take an active role in shaping their neighborhoods, fostering a stronger sense of community and social cohesion.\nCreating an enabling environment for inclusive urban development is a multifaceted endeavor that requires a holistic approach and a focus on community well-being. The concept of fifteen-minute cities provides a compelling framework for designing neighborhoods that prioritize accessibility, inclusivity, and safety. By embracing this concept and incorporating it into urban planning practices, we can pave the way for the development of cities that are not only efficient and sustainable but also vibrant, inclusive, and safe places for all residents to thrive","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://www.uoccc.org/post/canada-is-melting","date":"2024-02-24T14:47:04Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474541.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240224144416-20240224174416-00454.warc.gz","language_score":0.9430052042007446,"token_count":1142,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2024-10","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__30817058","lang":"en","text":"By: Elizabeth Werner\nIce caps help to maintain the earth's climate by reflecting solar radiation back into space and supplying fresh water to marine ecosystems. However, these ice caps are melting and have been melting at a rapid pace due to the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We are now entering the point of no return, as it is estimated that by 2050 there will be no free ice in the sea (Weber, 2021).\nEach year glaciers are now losing 267 billion tonnes of ice (Weber, 2021). This is severely affecting wildlife. The polar bear is being highly affected by the melting of the ice caps and now has to migrate to land due to the lack of ice in the ocean. On land, there is less food supply, causing many of them to be malnourished. The narwhal is also facing threats. With the ocean warming, killer whales are migrating north and hunting the narwhal.\nWhy should Canadians care about the diminishing populations of animals and the decrease of ice caps? Well, in the territories many communities are already seeing the effects from the melting of these polar ice caps. The people of the Kluane First Nation in the community of Burwash Landing, Yukon, have seen a change in their waterways due to the melting of arctic ice caps. Their main source of water supply, the Slims River, has dried up, and levels of nearby lakes have also seen a major decrease, causing water shortage in the community. In Nunavut, around 38,000 people are at risk of losing their homes due to the melting of these ice caps as well (Fokkens, 2020).\nMany Indigenous and northern communities in Canada are facing direct impact due to increasing sea levels caused by the melting of polar ice caps. Their communities are prone to mass floods and an increase in diseases. They are also facing food insecurity as traditional hunting is becoming more challenging, both due to the change of animal migration routes and the decrease of animal populations as a consequence of climate change.\nNorthern Canada is not the only region that will be affected by the loss of ice caps. See, the arctic ice caps are not the only ice caps found in Canada. The Canadian Rockies are considered an ice cap and supply water to Western Canada. If we continue the path we are heading, the Rocky Mountains could lose around 90% of glacier ice volume (Rieger, 2020). This will lead to water shortages all around Alberta. With the loss of glacier ice volume as many one out of four Albertans will face a water crisis. It is estimated that around one million of the 4.4 million Albertans will be affected including urban areas like Edmonton (Rieger, 2020).\nBritish Columbia will also be highly affected from the melting of the ice caps. One of BC’s iconic glaciers called the Comox Glacier is continuing to decrease, which supplies drinking water for around 50,000 residents of the Comox Valley (Kloster, 2021). Due to the decrease in glacier volume there is an increased risk of floods caused by an increased amount of water in nearby streams. We have already seen the damage of flooding in B.C this summer and it will only get worse.\nThe decrease in water supply, food shortages, increased number of national disasters, and loss of homes are only some of the consequences we face. We could also see newer diseases, as viruses are trapped in these glaciers and may be released into the environment through ice melting. In the Guliya ice cap in Western China, scientists found 33 viruses that are 15,000 years old trapped in these glaciers (Bressan, 2021). This just adds yet another reason to help stop the melting of ice caps.\nSo, how can you help the cause? Here are some small ways that you can help in your everyday life just by reducing energy and improving your ecological footprint:\n1. Transition to a mostly plant-based diet, which has a much lower carbon footprint than a meat-heavy diet\n2. Reduce water by taking showers instead of baths, and turning off the water while you brush your teeth\n3. Shop sustainable fashion by thrifting, rather than shopping fast-fashion\n4. Refuse single-use plastics such as coffee cups and plastic bottles, and shop at bulk package-free stores\n5. Carpool, bike, use public transit or walk instead of driving\n6. Reduce electricity consumption by unplugging electronics when not in use, turning off lights when leaving a room, layering up instead of turning the heat up, and hanging laundry outside to dry when possible\nBressan, D.

The manor of Clutton was one of the many gifts William the Conqueror bestowed on his supporters, in this case the Bishop of Coutances, who held it until his death in 1093. The earliest known incumbent of Clutton church was Robertus, who was instituted in 1308, and since that time the continuity has been almost unbroken, a list of incumbents is displayed in the Church.\nClutton church is dedicated to St Augustine who was Bishop of Hippo Regius, which is a North African port near the city of Annaba in Algeria. Augustine became Bishop in 395 AD and served until his death in 430 AD, possibly from starvation, during the siege of the city by the East Germanic tribe known as the Vandals.\nThe church and tower are grade II* listed and originate from the twelfth century but only two parts of the building remain from that date: the inner arch of the entrance porch and the chancel arch. The body of the Church was rebuilt in 1865 by John Norton. The 15th century tower was rebuilt in 1728 although some of the older portions remain, it has unusual and striking red sandstone banding. The tower houses 6 bells the oldest being cast in Bristol in 1680. The church has benefited from two significant grants funded by the National Lottery, these have enabled the roof to be completely replaced in 2009 and the tower stabilised in 2018/19.\nAt the West end of the church is an oak gallery erected in 1970 housing a pipe organ that bears the inscription “Presented by the Earl of Warwick 1856.” The organ came from Warwick Castle and was previously installed in the area that is now the Lady Chapel.\nThe pulpit and font are of stone and both date from the 19th century. Inside the vestry is a plaque in memory of Mrs Ann Harris who set up a trust for poor relief. It reads: “Mrs Ann Harris of this parish, widow who died on the 27th day of March 1860, aged 89 years, gave in her lifetime to the trustees, the yearly rent charge of 1.5 [possibly shillings] upon trust. After her decease to pay and apply the same yearly for ever at Christmas in conjunction with the minister and churchwardens for the time being of the said parish of Clutton for providing undergarments for poor women of the said parish of Clutton, being upwards of sixty years of age”.\nIn the churchyard there are 5 Grade II listed monuments (reference no. 1129586), some of these relate to the Bodribb family. The Brodribbs were the grandparents of Sir Henry Irving, the first knight of the English stage. It is said that Irving rehearsed his first play in the sitting room of Maypole Farm in Clutton. There are also war graves in the churchyard, as listed by the War Graves Commission. Plague graves are believed to be to the North of the church.\nJohn Wesley preached at the Church on four occasions, the first in 1780. When he visited Clutton in later years he was refused permission to preach inside the Church and so preached from a tombstone in the churchyard.\nThe trustees of a charity, set up with a legacy of £200 from a Mr. Perry and a bequest of £93 by a Mr. Adams, founded a free school in 1728. This was for the teaching and apprenticing of ten poor parish boys and a schoolmaster was paid £13 per year. It is not known where this school was situated, but, comparing a series of maps and information from a Charity Commission Report, it appears to have been an existing church property, perhaps a barn on glebe land, on the present Bristol Road, A37.\nIn 1604 it had been made compulsory for schoolmasters to be licensed by the local Bishop, though many taught illegally, especially in rural areas. The restoration of the monarchy in 1660 resulted in a further tightening of Anglican control on schools with the 1662 Act of Uniformity requiring licences to be recorded in Bishops’ Subscriptions books. In 1763 it is recorded in the Subscriptions Book of the Bishop of Bath & Wells that a Schoolmaster, James Leman, was, ‘licenced to keep and serve the Charity School in the parish of Clutton … [promising that he] … will conform to the liturgy of the Church of England’.\nIn 1811, National Schools were set up, based on the work of the Reverend Andrew Bell and his experiences of teaching the orphan children of soldiers in Madras, India. The idea was that large numbers of children could be taught by one teacher with the assistance of low-paid monitors or pupil teachers, which meant that schools were cheaper to run. The teaching focussed on reading, writing, arithmetic and Anglican religious instruction. Clutton was in the forefront of this movement. In 1839 a new school was built on land donated by the Earl of Warwick. A schoolmaster’s house was built next to it, on church glebe land, in about 1875. The school and schoolhouse are now private homes.\nThe National School was closed when a new school was built in 1902, with Lady Warwick laying the foundation stone. This larger school, initially called Clutton Council School, was built for 330 children. Until 1935 it was an elementary School and was for all ages up to 14 years old. The badge on the dark green school uniform includes a swan, which is from the family crest of the Warwick family.\nUntil the 20th century, there were no welfare benefits to help individuals or families, so poor people were dependent on charity. Towards the end of the 18th century Workhouses were set up for the poor and destitute. Very often whole families ended up in these institutions, where men, women and children, even from the same family, were separated and led extremely hard lives. The Clutton Union Workhouse opened in 1836 and the Salaries Ledger shows that Miss Dury received a salary of £20 per annum in 1881 for teaching thirty seven children, though a few attended local schools. This Workhouse closed in 1930 and the building was eventually converted into housing.\nIn 1662 the Reverend Matthew Afflat was ejected from St. Augustine’s church for refusing to read The Act of Uniformity, an act which required priests to follow all the rites, ceremonies and doctrines present in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. Two thousand Church of England clergy were ejected from their churches at this time. This was followed by the Five-Mile Act, which prevented ejected priests from preaching within five miles of their previous churches, so Afflat’s followers built a chapel at Chelwood. In 1813 the Congregational Chapel or Independent Chapel was built and opened at the top of Church Lane in Clutton. The services were well attended and records report that in 1851 one hundred and fifty attended in the morning and two hundred in the evening.\nCAMELEY - Cameley is an ancient village lying on Cam Brook. It was listed as Camelie in the 1086 Domesday Book and the name means 'the curved river meadow' from the Celtic ‘cam’ and Old English’ lea’. The Domesday entry reads: The Bishop (of Coutances) holds Cameley himself. Two thanes, (Sheerwold and Ordwold), held Cameley before the Conquest. It paid tax for 9 hides and half a virgate of land. Land for 9 ploughs. In lordship 3 ploughs; 13 slaves; 4 hides and 3 virgates. 9 villagers; 1 smallholder; 7 cottagers with 4 ploughs and 3 hides and 1.5 virgates. A mill which pays 5s; meadow 120 acres; pasture, 30 acres; underwood 50 acres. 2 cobs, 12 cattle, 21 pigs, 150 sheep. The value was £7; now £10. Humphrey holds: 1 hide of this manor’s land; he has 1 plough there, in lordship. 3 villagers and 1 cottager with 1 plough. Meadow 40 acres. 12 cattle; 14 pigs; 10 sheep; Value 20s. Though we still use acre as a unit of land measurement today, the hide and the virgate have fallen out of use. It has been estimated that the land area of the manor of Cameley in 1086 was probably between 1600 and 1700 acres, so very similar to today. There could have been between 30 and 40 dwellings, with a population of about 100 – 150 people. Cameley had one mill, probably downstream from the site of the church. The church of St. James may or may not have been there. The Domesday Book makes no reference to churches generally. It is likely that there was a place of worship here and it probably was on the present site of St. James, but at best it would have been a small stone structure or something a little larger in timber.\nAbout 1150 the manor was given to Bath Abbey by the Alnes (or d'Alneto) family. In the 13th century it was held by the Marisco family and then passed into the control of the Knights Templar, which was confirmed in a grant of 1201. During the 13th and early 14th century the manor was again under the control of the de Marisco family. On the south post of the chancel arch in Cameley Church is a coat of arms with two red chevrons, which is believed to be of the St Maur family. Almeric de St Maur was master of the Knights Templar in England and put his seal on the Magna Carta. The coat of arms represents further evidence of the link between Cameley and Temple Cloud to the Knights Templar.\nTEMPLE CLOUD - Temple Cloud is relatively modern village and is predated by Cameley in whose parish it sits. Temple Cloud’s growth was probably due to the building of what became the turnpike road from Bristol towards Shepton Mallet, now the A37, which was also part of the reason for Cameley’s decline in importance. There was a manor near the junction of Cameley Road with Bristol Road and a number of cottages were added over the years. At the Green was a pub called The Bell and the village cross was on the site of what is now the traffic island.\nTemple, historically, may relate to the Knights Templar. These were, probably, the most famous of the Western Christian military orders. This organization of warrior monks was originally founded, in 1119, to protect pilgrims travelling in the Holy Lands. The Order became a favoured charity in all Christian Kingdoms and grew rapidly in membership, wealth and power. Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantles with an embroidered red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades. Temple Cloud has old field names containing the word “Temple” and there is evidence that the Knights Templar held land at Cameley 1201 and were paying taxes here in the early 14th century. Cloud certainly pre-dates the Templars or ‘Temple’ part of the name, as there are documents referring to “Cloude” or “La Clude” in the archives. Some suggest the name comes from the personal name of “Cloda”, who may have owned the land in Saxon times. More probable is that it comes from the Old English word ‘clud’, meaning a mass of rock or a rocky hillside. This definition may also be linked to the name of Clutton.\nIn 1902 there was an Inn, a Post Office, a school, a Court House, a plumber, a grocer, a blacksmith, a baker, a butcher and a wheelwright in the village. There was also a Superintendent and two police constables in the Police Station that was part of the Court House. The first school was built to hold 100 children in 1861, on land on the opposite side of the main road to the Temple Inn. It had two classrooms; one that was 12 x 5.5 metres in size and another that was 5.5 x 4.5 metres (quite small by today’s standards). It also had two very small cloakrooms, but it had no indoor toilets, staffroom, office or hall. It was heated by one coal fired boiler.\nDuring the 1914 – 1918 World War 1, no mention was made of the conflict in the school Log Book. During the Second World War, however, there are many mentions. From 1st to the 18th September 1939, for example, the school was closed so that it could be used to welcome children who had been evacuated from London. This was because there was less danger of bombing in rural areas. These, and the other evacuees who followed over the next few years, were taken in by local families, sometimes staying for several years. By 1941, there were 39 evacuees staying with locally. When school dinners started being served, in December 1943, the school children had to eat them at their school desks as there was no hall or dining room. A very unusual and exciting development was the building of an outdoor swimming poologether with proper changing room facilities, that opened in 1973/4. This meant that all the children could learn to swim. It was also open to use during the summer holidays.\nOvercrowding, an aging building and the lack of appropriate facilities had been a growing problem for the staff and children in this old school over time. Eventually, after many years of discussion and planning, the school moved to a brand new building, in Meadway, in January 1994. This is still in use today.\nReferences: Pevsner, Buildings of England, J.

Located on the southwest coast of the island the resort of Los Cristianos enjoys fantastic sunsets. On clear evenings you can see the sun set behind the three neighbouring islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. From the harbour the local Fred Olsen and Armas ferries run a connection between these islands and Tenerife which provide important trade, business and touristic links between the islands. The resort of Los Cristianos boats several fantastic beaches. Some of them are man-made and are composed of deep, fine golden sand which is just perfect for sunbathing on, whilst there are also a couple of natural beaches which provide a less sandy environment to enjoy and they are also very good for scuba diving and snorkelling. The beachfront is of course, dominated by a multitude of bars and restaurants which cater for almost every possible taste and cuisine. During the evenings the resort comes to life with a wide range of different forms of entertainment that can provide light-hearted entertainment for everyone to enjoy.\nMoving inland from the coastal area of Los Cristianos there are many hotels, residential and non-residential complexes that house the throng of tourists who come to the resort of Los Cristianos annually. Aside from tourist accommodation, Los Cristianos boasts an impressive array of residential property. There are many different styles of apartments, such as studios, duplexes and penthouses. On the outskirts of Los Cristianos there are larger residential complexes containing grand villas, often with private gardens and swimming pools and there are also independent properties such as houses and fincas which are self contained with ample gardens or surrounding farmland.\nThe centre of Los Cristianos is a bustling town. There are shops and bazaars, chic boutiques and many bars, cafés and restaurants, which once again appeal to many different tastes. There is an easily accessible bus terminal which provides access to the rest of the island. There are regular bus services which connect Los Cristianos with the other southern resorts, Reina Sofia airport and of course the capital of the island Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Los Cristianos also has excellent medical facilities with a doctors surgery and small hospital lying just outside of the town. Sunday is the day for the very popular Los Cristianos market which offers various different wares such as clothing, souvenirs and general bits and bobs.\nCurrently we have an extensive range of all manner of property for sale in Los Cristianos. On our books we have a multitude of different apartments, villas, businesses and fincas for sale in Los Cristianos which offer fantastic value for money. So if you are considering buying property in Tenerife as either a home from home, a residential home or as a rental property there is so much that Los Cristianos has to offer that buying property in Los Cristianos really is a great investment for the future.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.pramanahotels.com/","date":"2018-12-16T22:08:22Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376827998.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20181216213120-20181216235120-00351.warc.gz","language_score":0.963859498500824,"token_count":288,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2018-51","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-51__0__162296417","lang":"en","text":"Ubud, where the cultural and home of the art in Bali, located in the mountains side, the place also call as home to one of Bali’s royal families .

Yesterday, we went to a place called Bear Lake (which is about two miles up in the mountains), and saw some really rare animals called “pine martins”. Most people who live in Estes Park see these maybe once in a lifetime if they’re lucky. They look like a cross between a squirrel and a fox, and are small and slim. I got some adorable pictures.\nToday, we went to the Alluvial Fan. It’s a really beautiful waterfall that’s actually a broken dam from a lake on the top of a mountain. When it first broke, it flooded the entire city of Estes Park. It’s still pouring down to this day. You have the opportunity to climb this waterfall, which we of course did. It had gorgeous scenery and beautiful plant-life. I got some fantastic pictures.\nNow when we were done with all of that, the first thing I wanted to do was look through my pictures. They all turned out pretty darn good for a snapshot camera. And since we still had four days left, I checked my memory so I would have enough room for the pictures I would take for the rest of the week. To my utter dismay, disappointment, and any other synonymous word, I accidentally reformatted my memory card. Those adorable, great, fantastic pictures… were gone. I was devastated and fuming at the ears because of my stupidity.\nSo, moral of the story; screw camera memory. When your camera says its full, delete some pictures. Just don’t….don’t… DON’T mess with the card settings unless you know exactly what you’re doing. I mean it.\nAlso, during the next four days, I have to go retake a bunch of pictures so you readers will enjoy the posts of the last few days and this one too.

The trip affords students the opportunity to travel internationally and to meet classmates, teachers and administrators. This trip also supports our school mission of preparing students to contribute significantly, responsibly, and respectfully in a global society.\nThis March, a group of GWUOHS students traveled to Paris and the French Riviera. Our trip began in Paris, where we spent three days exploring the city—including visits to Versailles, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, and shopping on the Champs-Elysees.\nFrom Paris, we boarded a train to the beautiful Provence region of France, where we visited the towns of Avignon, Arles, and Aix-en-Provence. In Avignon, we visited the medieval Palais des Papes, or Pope’s Palace, which hosted several French Popes in the 14th century. We visited several real-life locations that inspired the work of Vincent Van Gogh, and even stopped for a bite at the Cafe Van Gogh. From the Provence region, we boarded our bus to beautiful Nice, in the French Riviera region. Nice is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in France, along with much of the charm of both France and Italy, as the Italian border is only moments away. We also visited the principality of Monaco to view the changing of the guard and take in the beautiful views and pristine beaches.\nThroughout the trip, our students were led by our EF tour director Jean-Jacques (JJ) who kept us informed and educated throughout our visit. Our students were also provided the ability to form friendships and get to know one another on this trip better than they ever could have in the online setting. Speaking on this, group member Josie Denson stated, “I enjoyed meeting new people, having fun and making memories with them”. This trip was truly an experience to take in the best of French culture, sights, food, and to make friends along the way.\nIn March of 2017, we will be traveling to beautiful Italy to tour Florence, Venice, and Rome.

The dividends will come in the form ETH airdrops.\n- Managed portfolio of real estate assets, which is well-diversified and more flexible than traditional property investment trusts (REIT). The latter are generally more specific in their scope of investment.\n- More affordable expense fees than similar property investment trusts, which suggests higher profits for token holders.\n- Investors will get an independent financial report on how the project evolves.

This castle has been the site of the investiture of the last two Princes of Wales, Prince Edward (later King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor) in 1911, and HRH Prince Charles in 1969. It was after this second ceremony that Plas Glynllifon was used as the venue for an Investiture Ball, organised in part by his aunt, Princess Margret, then Countess of Snowdon.\nThe building as it stands now was built by one Spencer Bulkley Wynn, the third Lord Newborough, following a huge fire which completely destroyed the previous building on February 12th 1836. The main house was completed in 1848, but the buildings, grounds and nearby Llandrog continued to see development throughout the Third Lord's life. He died in 1888, and large parts of the Newborough Estate, which included Glynllifon, passed to one of his sons, The Honourable Frederick George Wynn. It was he who added the large wing and courtyard to the west of the main building, and the glass conservatory to the north.\nThe story of Glynllifon can be traced back much further than this though. Legend has it that the land was first settled in the 9th Century by a semi mythological figure, Prince of The Isle of Man and one of the founders of the fifteen noble tribes of Gwynedd, who went by the name of Cilmyn Troed Ddu - or 'Cilmyn Black Foot'.\nThere are several stories of how this name came about. The most romantic of these involves a Giant, evil spirits and a magical tome. Possibly more plausible though is that he suffered from one of the effects of scurvy. Whichever story you prefer, the Glynllifon, and subsequently the Newborough Family Coat of Arms proudly bare the image of a black leg to this day, lending some credence to the myth.\nThe first historical record of ownership dates back to the early 13th Century with one Ystrwyth ab Ednowain, a nobleman and, so the story has it, counsellor and trusted advisor to Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Gwynedd. This trust may well have been misplaced however, as the family chose to support the English Crown during the uprising which saw Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, Prince of Wales, defeated in 1282, they also fought on the side of the English King, Henry IV against Owain Glyndwr's troops at the Siege of Caernarfon, and the Battle of Tuthill in 1401.\nReturning to more recent times, The Honourable Frederick George Wynn died in 1932, and the estate passed to Thomas John Wynn, then 5th Lord Newborough. Thomas Wynn was forced to sell Glynllifon in 1948. It was bought by a timber merchants, who then sold much of it on, just six years later, to Caernarfonshire County Council for use as an Agricultural College, and courses are still run from the site.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://westleadershipacademy.dpsk12.org/enrollment/transportation/","date":"2021-05-12T01:53:31Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243991693.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20210512004850-20210512034850-00582.warc.gz","language_score":0.934290885925293,"token_count":312,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2021-21","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-21__0__146753244","lang":"en","text":"West Campus School Bus Transportation\nMiddle school students living west of I-25 to Sheridan, from 6th Ave south to Custer, will be provided DPS transportation.

We experience mild temperatures, nice cool ocean breezes and less rain than Seattle. Combine this with the surrounding beauty and we truly live in paradise.\nThis summer has been unusually warmer than normal, yet cooler than Seattle and other parts of Washington, providing plenty of opportunities to go outside and worship the sun.\nOne such Anacortes resident, Larry Elliott, spent this summer exploring some of the best places to kick back and relax on Fidalgo Island.\nHere are Five Places on Fidalgo Island to Kick Back, Relax and Enjoy the Summer, because it is not over yet.\n1. Cap Sante—Relax and enjoy the view. From the top of Cap Sante check out the hustle and bustle of the ever busy Cap Sante Marina. Pleasure boats, fishing boats and whale watching boats provides a multitude of activity for your viewing pleasure. Then there is the view of downtown Anacortes, the center of this wonderful community. Top off your day by watching some of the most stunning sunsets around as the sun sets over the San Juan Islands. All from this comfortable perch.\n2. Ship Harbor—Enjoy this sandy beach on a warm summer day as the breeze from the Guemes Channel keeps you cool. Walk the Ship Harbor Interpretive Trail and the Guemes Island Trail, providing you with a great view and exercise. Bring a good book to read, listen to the call of the seagulls, or watch the Washington State Ferries as they provide passage for thousands of visitors. Whatever your preference, this hidden gem is a great place to kick back and relax.\n3. Washington Park—We are fortunate on this island to have such a magnificent playground, such as, Washington Park. Walk or drive the 2+ mile loop, shrouded in forest lands and some of the most scenic viewing spots on all of Fidalgo Island. If you are fortunate enough, you may see a pod of Orca Whales from one of the vantage points as they swim by. Enjoy the other wildlife that call this great park their home. Make sure to stop at the top of the loop for a breathtaking view of Burrows Island, Rosario Strait and the west side of Fidalgo Island. After walking the loop, stop at Sunset Beach and enjoy a Pacific Northwest sunset and relax as you listen to the waves lapping along the beach.\n4. Rosario Beach—This beach is a great spot to get in tune with the sea. At low tide, the tidal pools give visitors a close view of what lives below its surface. Explore, yet respect the home of some of the wonderful sea life that call this place home. A Discover Pass is required to park here.\n5. Bowman Bay—Bowman Bay provides visitors with everything they need to enjoy a summer day. Some of the best trails are located at Bowman Bay providing hikers with impressive views and magnificent forests. Kayak in the protected waters of Bowman Bay. Seeking solitude? This is the spot. Relax, kick back, and just enjoy the peaceful surroundings and become one with Mother Nature. Or, bring the family and enjoy a picnic and send the kids off to the playground. Finish your day with a gentle stroll and watch the sun as it sets on the horizon. A Discover Pass is required to park here.\nFidalgo Island is a great place for adventure, excitement, outdoor fun, and it is also a great place to just kick back and relax.

Al-Sabah opens the doors to her personal archive of vintage kaftans and shares her thoughts on the garment’s enduring cross-cultural appeal.\nWhen did you start collecting vintage kaftans?\nI began collecting vintage kaftans about 10 years ago during my travels. I’ve always been fascinated by other cultures and how they interact, and no item of clothing seems to encapsulate this cross-cultural meshing of ideas better than the kaftan. Although it’s associated with the Middle East, you find variations of it all over the world.\nThe pieces in my vintage collection trace the path of the Silk Road, an ancient network of trading routes that linked Asia to the West. You’ll find examples from Mongolia, Persia, India and the Mediterranean. I hope to eventually share my collection with a wider audience through an exhibition.\nDoes travel play an important role in your work?\nTravel has always played a huge role in my design process. I visit places to absorb their culture in terms of design and aesthetics. I’m constantly in search of unique textures, patterns and colors; whether I’m handpicking fabrics in the souks of Istanbul and Damascus, or browsing the offerings at Liberty in London.\nIs there one place that inspires you the most?\nI’m particularly attached to India, which I visit regularly for its rich culture, colors and history. It’s a humbling experience to be there and to blend in. For a designer, it’s also an amazing environment to grow in, because you’re exposed to so many kinds of fabrics, printing techniques and embroideries.\nWhat is the enduring appeal of your kaftans?\nThere is often a cross-cultural dialogue within my designs. A single kaftan alone could touch on Ottoman, Moroccan, Japanese and Indian influences. Yet that dialogue also continues with the wearer. It appeals to a wide variety of women, regardless of where they are in the world and compliments different body types. During the 1960’s “kaftan chic” was de rigueur amongst the most fashionable women in Europe and America, including icons such as Marella Agnelli, Mica Ertegün and Lee Radziwill. Today it still retains its allure amongst a new generation in both the West and the Middle East.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://rodger-ellingson.pixels.com/index.html?tab=about","date":"2018-05-25T03:06:50Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866938.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525024404-20180525044404-00499.warc.gz","language_score":0.9741371870040894,"token_count":114,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2018-22","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-22__0__1177536","lang":"en","text":"Sioux Falls, SD\nRodger Ellingson is a painter in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Helpfully, however, it is divided up into manageable pieces, with headings. You can read it over several days. Pretend it is five different blog posts, if that helps.]\nAt one of our coffee meetings to plan our tour – which I was beginning to refer to as “The Tri-Province Mid-Life Crisis on Wheels” – Scott had an idea.\n“I think it would get the audiences positively engaged, more “on our side” right off the bat, Ross, if you started each show with a story specifically about the town or city or region in which we’re performing. You know, like Stuart McLean does on his tours. People just love it.”\n“Great idea, Scott. And will you also be composing special songs for each stop on the tour?” I [should have] said, earnestly.\n“I’m pretty sure Stuart McLean has some kind of intellectual property claim to this ‘appealing to the locals’ idea. We don’t want a lawsuit,” I also [might appropriately have] said.\n“Okay, Scott,” I [actually] said.\nSo, what follows are the charming bits I said at each of our stops in an effort to get people to like us. I’m not sure how well it worked, though I know it was more effective than starting with an expression that had become my signature opening – “According to my notes, I’m delighted to be here.”\nI really had nowhere to go but up.\nMy first intensive exposure to this town came on a cold, wet spring thirty-six years ago. I was working on a road crew for the Department of Highways and we were camped in ugly yellow bunkhouses at the gravel pit north of here, half way between town and the Number One highway. I don’t know exactly why we weren’t allowed to set up in town – I’m sure they knew what they were doing.\nWe camped out there for about six weeks that spring, while we worked on Highway 21.\nWe worked all day, then ate usually at the Gulf out at the turnoff, which is long gone. We drank beers and “rye presses” and played pool at the Jasper and the Commercial hotels most nights. We mostly stayed out of trouble. I never got into a fight. I never won a game of pool. I don’t know if those two are connected. There were a few Maple Creek guys on the crew – Trent Curry, Grant White, Harold Palmer, the loader operator. In later years, Blair Watson joined us.\nI worked on that crew for a long time and we spent a part of each season in this town.\nIt was out on the 21, and the Red Coat Trail and all the other endless stretches of highway in the southwest, that I found Home.\nI’d always been a town kid or a city kid growing up – my Dad was a banker and we moved every couple of years. But, until I spent those interminable hours out there in the sun and the wind, I’d never felt truly connected to a landscape, never felt like I was where I belonged.\nIt is, I suppose, a cliché to talk about how big the sky is. Until you experience it. There is nothing cliché about it. It overwhelms you. You want to take it all in. But you can’t. The land spreads out in front of you, seemingly forever. You can see everything. And, much of the time, you can’t see any people. You can feel like you’re the only person in the world. When I’m out there, I am so at home and so comfortably alone. Not lonely. Just alone. Complete, in solitude. Out there, if it’s not too cold or too windy – you never want to give it up. You never want that sense of awe and wonder and timeless peace to end.\nI have all sort of other connections to this place, of course. My sister, Heather, and my sort-of sister, Lou Ellen, married guys from here – older guys, but nice guys – guys that are probably peculiar to this region. And they raised their kids here – about fifty of them, I think. I’ve been in this church on Christmas Eve a few times, and last year when we said goodbye to Peter’s Mom, Irene. Over twenty years ago, my parents moved to the Park and attended this church – my Mom still does. I’ve brought my family here countless times to visit their grandparents, aunt, uncles and cousins. My kids can’t go past the Red Hen without stopping for five-cent candy. I learned to downhill ski at the Park. I have been on a float in the Cow Town Parade.\nMy sister, Heather, as you all know, is a very talented musician and organizer of musical stuff in this town. She’s always telling me about these great musical events she puts on – not just the kids’ musical plays, but the concerts where the Dazzlers and others perform. As you know, they are real family affairs. Heather plays and sings, as does her son Andrew and her daughter Christine. Let’s not forget Chelsea, who is, for tax purposes at least, a member of the family. Heather’s mother [my mother] Jean, plays the piano. Oh what a talented family Heather has.\nWell, I am her brother. When we were growing up, it was pretty clear to me, at least, that I was the talented one. And yet, year after year, Heather puts on these evenings – and never once, ever, has she invitee her brother to come to Maple Creek and perform. Did she just forget how talented I am – just slipped her mind? Or was she afraid? Chicken? How many of you even knew she had a brother?\nSo, although Scott and I are here in Maple Creek to have fun and see the country and share his music with you and flog his CD – we’re really here because I just really needed to share the stage with my sister, at long last.\nI have a personal recollection of Eastend – a story that does not involve dinosaurs or Jack’s Café, or Sharon Butala or actually the town of Eastend, really\nI first came to Eastend thirty-eight years ago. Because of a family connection, I was able to snag a summer job with the Department of Highways. That was pretty unusual – highways didn’t usually hire high school kids. All the guys on the crew – and there were about twenty of them – were older than me, and quite a bit, let’s say, “rougher”. I was just out of grade eleven, seventeen years old. A sensitive lad – school choir member, church goer, non-smoker, keen student. No criminal record.\nThe first night out in the bunkhouse in Eastend with my new colleagues involved a road trip to the next town – Shaunavon – to take in the festivities at Shaunavon’s annual summer fair. I wanted to appear to be a team guy, wanted to make the right impression. I had to establish that I was not the fresh-faced little mommy’s boy dweeb that I appeared to be – and was, in fact. So we all loaded up into a crew-member’s big black car with a case of beer and off to Shaunavon we go. I decided it was important that I appear to be drinking, but it was essential that I maintain a firm grip on my faculties. I was anticipating trouble. And there was. A lot of drinking. And fights. With drunk guys. With drunk girls. I remained in the car through much of it, avoiding eye contact with the locals, while mayhem surrounded me.\nFinally, having had just about as much fun as can be had on a drunken fair night in southwest Saskatchewan, around three in the morning, we loaded back into the car – a little more crowded now, because one of the guys had fallen in love over the course of the evening and had his soul mate in the front seat with him, and headed out of town with another case of beer, maybe two.\nThe Mounties stopped us, because this perfect evening just wouldn’t be complete without the involvement of law enforcement officials with guns. As soon as we stopped the car, one of my fellow highway guys got out of the car and ran off. Since this was my first day, I didn’t know his name. I only knew him by his nickname – Herbie. The Mountie in charge, immediately recognizing me as the weak link in this criminal enterprise, questioned me aggressively about the identity of the escaped Herbie. I was relieved that I lacked sufficient knowledge to betray my new friend – so was spared that particular moral dilemma – but I was concerned that my insistence that I did not know Herbie’s real name was frustrating this Mountie to the point that I might find my young self in jail for the night. Oh how I longed to be in my bunkhouse back in Eastend.\nEventually, Herbie returned. I don’t know where he went, or why he came back. I suppose he figured it would be a long walk back to Eastend, so he might as well face the music. The Mounties gave us two liquor tickets and sent us on our way. No hard feelings. I never did learn Herbie’s real name.\nAnother thing I think of when I think of Eastend, besides Shaunavon and Mounties, is the Redcoat Trail. Highway Thirteen.\nMy parents bought a place in the park at Cypress Hills back in 1991. So, every holiday weekend, from the Victoria Day to Thanksgiving, my wife and I load up our kids and head out to the Park.\nBack in the early days, the TransCanada from Webb to the Maple Creek turnoff was single lane. I cheerfully referred to it as the “Ribbon of Death”. It was always a busy, dangerous stretch, but more so on long weekends when there would be an endless stream of menacing trucks and cars from Alberta carrying people home to Saskatchewan to visit family. Add some darkness, maybe some rain …\nThe trip was very tough on my sensitive wife, who was raised in Toronto, where people do not drive both ways on the same highway – because they value human life there, especially the lives of children. So, to avoid the trauma of a return trip on the TransCanada, we would often take Highway 13 back home.\nWhat a relief. It’s a bit longer and slower, but it’s a more peaceful, less death-defying experience. You can’t hurry, so you settle in, relax. You notice that there are people in those cars and half tons you meet and pass on the way. It’s more personal. When you’re on the Redcoat Trail, you’re not on a highway – you are part of the landscape. You’re not riding above it, you are immersed in it. The fields and weeds and livestock and the farmers are right there at eye level. And the highway is so soft, especially on hot days.\nWhen it’s over, you feel like a traveler, not a survivor. You’re happy to be home, not grateful to be alive.\nNow that the Number One is twinned the whole way – we don’t take the Redcoat Trail anymore. We get home faster. The kids’ whining and complaining and fighting is over sooner. We feel safer. But I think we’ve lost something in our haste. The Redcoat Trail makes it easier to recognize the truth of that old expression, that it is not the destination that matters, even if that destination is home – it’s the journey.\nScott and I both live in Regina. We’re very happy to be in Saskatoon tonight.\nI know you’re all thinking – well, of course – anyone who lives in Regina is happy to be in Saskatoon. Saskatoon is just way better. The weather is better – especially this time of year. The wind doesn’t howl all the time, blowing dust and garbage and small animals all over the place. Saskatoon has better weather generally – it’s practically “temperate” here – like it’s intended that people would live here and not just animals with hides – like buffalo. The winters are less lethal. The summers don’t bake things till they turn brown and crack.\nSaskatoon is also a much cooler place – not “cool” as in temperature, but “cool” as in attitude. It’s a hip, happening place, compared with buttoned-down, uptight, dorky Regina. Saskatoon has this big University – so it’s full of smart people. Regina has the government – politicians and bureaucrats – a different, less cool kind of smart. Saskatoon is big picture. Regina is painful details. Sure, we dress better, but we’re less relaxed. The Birkenstock store can barely make a go of it.\nScott is from Nova Scotia – so he hasn’t grown up with this Saskatoon/Regina thing.\nI’m from Swift Current, the second coolest city in the province. In Swift Current, we believed quite strongly that Regina was near the worst place on earth – not just the worst place, but the worst place imaginable. We knew this without ever having spent any time in Regina – or anywhere else for that matter. We knew it with a firm though ignorant certainty. Regina was a dark ugly and dangerous place, to be feared and avoided.\nWhen it came time to go to University, well, duh. Swift Current kids headed up North to the U. of S.. Saskatoon was a magical place, with a shopping mall downtown, lots of relatively safe bars like the Hop House and the Pat and the Apollo Room at the Ritz, the big beautiful University campus, the river, the bridges, the Bessborough Hotel, Broadway Avenue, Homestead ice cream.\nI came here in the last half of the seventies and first half of the eighties. This was before Saskatoon had a jazz festival, but you had to know that if anyplace in this province were to have a jazz festival, it would be Saskatoon. Saskatoon is a jazz place – off beat, improvised, swingin’, cool.\nIf Saskatchewan were a high school, Saskatoon is the guy who wears skinny black jeans, rolls his own smokes and grooms himself in public with a rat-tail comb. Yes. That cool.\nNow, I have lived in Regina for twenty-five years and raised my three boys there. I love Regina and have no desire to live anywhere else. But, nonetheless, in the Regina Saskatoon rivalry – Saskatoon wins, hands down.\nSadly, however, almost out of spite, Regina refuses to participate in this competition – a competition it is so clearly losing. In fact, Reginans don’t appear to be aware that there is a rivalry. Saskatoon is nice, sure, but it’s not Regina. Regina doesn’t compare itself to Saskatoon, any more than Rosthern compares itself to Maple Creek or Medicine Hat compares itself to Brandon. Actually, it is worse than that. Reginans don’t address their minds to the question of which is the better city or which is the best city. Other cities, other places – other people – simply do not exist. Regina defeats the whole idea of competition by being utterly insular and inward looking. Regina is not the best, it is the only.\nSorry, Saskatoon. Smug beats Cool.\nI lived in Saskatoon only as a student. I was here for seven years, though only during the last three did I live here year-round. So, my experience of Saskatoon was, and my enduring perception of Saskatoon is, bound up in that time of my life – youth, coming of age, undergrad enthusiasm, the excitement of limitless potential, of the future, of new independence.\nSaskatoon’s historical role has been to take custody of the young people of this province at a crucial and impossible stage in our development – that stage where we have seemingly outgrown our hometowns and any and all adults who live there. We are all placed into the hands of your city by our parents, who are confident that this city will finish us off, one way or another, and turn us into adults.\nI have been back here countless times over the thirty years since I left, but every visit evokes a flood of feelings – as it does for thousands of graduates all over the world. Saskatoon was a place and a time of innumerable “firsts” in our lives, many of them accompanied by the declaration “I am never, ever, doing that again.”\nSaskatoon is the site of our most dramatic transformations, of youthful indiscretions, excessive enthusiasms, earnest inquiry, lost innocence and the seeds of wisdom.\nI often think, if I came back and lived here – if Saskatoon became my home – would I walk around this city with that sense of wonder and hope and faith that falls over me every time I visit?\nI hope that I would.\nAlmost a year ago there was poll published, declaring Saskatchewan to be Canada’s Ugliest Province.\nTo be completely accurate, the euphemism used was “least beautiful.” And, the designation referred to Saskatchewan’s scenery, not its people.\nTo celebrate Canada Day, some outfit called Abacus Data invited Canadians to rank the provinces in a number of categories — taxes, government management, friendliness, scenic beauty, business climate, etc. And now, thanks to this hitherto unknown company and its cruel poll results, we are the butt of “your province is so ugly…” jokes.\nIt’s not a big surprise. If you ask us what we love about Saskatchewan, we’ll say “oh, it’s the people” or, “it’s a great place to raise a family” or, “there’s such a sense of community” or “I got a job and had to move here.” For most of us, then, Saskatchewan is charitably described as “the girl with personality,” the kind of province for whom friends have trouble finding a blind date. We’re the province who took her dad to the prom.\nStubble-jumpers reacted defensively on Internet comment boards, listing all the very beautiful things to be found here. The saddest, but most frequent comment was this: “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Right. So is ugly.\nIn a special betrayal, it turns out that Western Canadians, including Saskatchewanians themselves, were more likely than anyone else to rank Saskatchewan as least beautiful.\nHow can we expect others to love us if we don’t love ourselves?\nHow did this happen? Surely, people from Fort Qu’Appelle asked this question more than the rest of us. When you get up in the morning, look out the window, go for a walk or out for a drive, “ugly” is not what you see.\nI think we all know the problem – It is the TransCanada Highway.\nThe really distinctive thing about Saskatchewan, what makes this place so different from the rest of “Oh-So-Freakin’-Beautiful Canada”, is that the southern third of province is dominated by the Great Interior Plains. If you drive through here on the TransCanada, which is all anyone ever does, it’s all you see.\nI like the prairies – but eight hours straight of nothing but straight and flat – that’s just too much. The engineers who designed the TransCanada weren’t looking for a challenge. Straight and flat appealed to them. It wasn’t their job to showcase Saskatchewan’s beauty and diversity.\nWhen people responded to this Abacus survey and objected to its conclusions about our lack of beauty – the most common reference was to the Qu’Appelle Valley and how beautiful it is and how, if people just spent more time here, their view of Saskatchewan’s beauty would be entirely different.\nIt’s true. If the TransCanada just meandered a bit more, dipped through the valley then up through the parkland, into the shield and down through the Great Sandhills and the Cypress Hills – yes, it would take five or six times longer to get to the Rockies, but they wouldn’t be calling us ugly.\nCalgary and Edmonton\nThis is the first trip out of Saskatchewan on this tour. And, it is fitting that we come to Alberta, because Alberta is where everybody from Saskatchewan goes.\nScott is from Nova Scotia, so he’s not as acutely aware as I am of this cultural demographic phenomenon. I’m from Swift Current, sort of a breeding ground for Albertans. Virtually everyone from Swift Current moves here as soon as he or she can. We drove by Swift Current yesterday – I’m surprised there is anybody left.\nI went to law school in Saskatoon; it was the same thing. All the good students moved to Alberta when they graduated. We have our University of Saskatchewan class reunions here in Alberta.\nIt’s like Saskatchewan has a maximum legal capacity – there can’t be any more than one million people there at one time, or the province loses its liquor license or something. Mostly, it is about opportunity. If you don’t have a job in Saskatchewan, you leave, immediately. Saskatchewan may be home, but it’s not a place you want to be sitting around waiting for something to happen.\nWe don’t expect people to stay in Saskatchewan and we’re surprised when they do – and slightly suspicious. If you don’t leave home, something is wrong. We don’t even require our Senators to live there. We always swell with pride when we watch football games on t.v. and notice that, everywhere in the league, half the people in the stands are wearing the green and white. That’s right, we swell with pride at the idea that most people from Saskatchewan leave so they can cheer for the Riders in someplace with better weather.\nAnd, it is an easy transition, moving to Alberta. We feel at home here. The people here are very similar. Albertans are really just Saskatchewanians with confidence and money.\nLike Saskatchewan, Alberta has the two main cities. We have Saskatoon and Regina, you have Calgary and Edmonton. Naturally, there’s a rivalry. You have the Flames and the Oilers. The Stampeders and the Eskimos. The Dinos and the Golden Bears. We wish we had rivalries like that in Saskatchewan. There isn’t enough people nor enough stuff for a two-city rivalry in most things. No NHL. One CFL team. One big university. We do have a lingerie football league franchise in each city – the Saskatoon Sirens and the Regina Rage – but that rivalry hasn’t caught our imagination just yet.\nWe can’t really decide what the rivalry is – Saskatoon wants the rivalry to be about which city is more scenic and beautiful. Regina wants the rivalry to be about which city really cares the least about what the other city thinks of it. Regina wins that one hands down.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://london-treasure-hunt-map.soft112.com/","date":"2019-01-19T20:26:50Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583681597.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190119201117-20190119223117-00391.warc.gz","language_score":0.8686107397079468,"token_count":268,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-04","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-04__0__167048365","lang":"en","text":"Who wants to be an explorer and find treasure on a map?\nWith this fun and easy interactive map your child can hunt for treasure in London.

In the 18th century, Polperro’s secluded coastline was a frequent entry point for smugglers, who brought in alcohol, tobacco, and other contraband. They left few traces behind; traditional fishermen’s cottages, dating back to the 16th century, line the narrow streets, and the downtown area has boutiques and galleries. But you can learn about Polperro’s colorful history at the Heritage Museum of Smuggling and Fishing.\nThe Town of Saint George dates back to the early 17th century. Today, you can visit St. Peter’s, the oldest Anglican church in the Western Hemisphere, built in 1612, and the Unfinished Church, with its majestic stone arches. Other buildings have a decidedly tropical feel: white limestone roofs and exteriors painted in vibrant hues of pink, yellow, blue, and orange.\nItaly has no shortage of pretty coastal towns, but we’re partial to Manarola. The tiny Cinque Terre village dates back to the Middle Ages and consists of a jumble of bright cliff-side homes overlooking the sea. Manarola—and the rest of Cinque Terre—is also known for producing white wine and olive oil.\nIf you were asked to picture a quintessential New England coastal town, chances are you’d envision Camden. The former manufacturing village occupies the green shores of Penobscot Bay, near the base of Mount Battie. Historic windjammers and dozens of other boats bob in Camden’s harbor. The downtown business area, rebuilt after an 1892 blaze and designated the Great Fire Historic District by the National Register of Historic Places, is filled with handsome brick buildings. And white clapboard homes line the residential streets.\nAt more than 2,000 years old, Kotor is Montenegro’s oldest town. Its historic area has narrow streets and stone buildings dating back to that time. Besides the impressive architecture, Kotor’s surroundings are also quite idyllic. The town sits near the base of the rugged Mount Lovcen, in a quiet corner of the Bay of Kotor.\nLunenburg, on Nova Scotia’s southern coast, is one of the few North American towns designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. It was founded by the British in 1753 and still has a colonial feel. The fishing and shipbuilding town’s buildings were traditionally painted black and white—those being the cheapest paint colors. In recent years, people began choosing other colors to make their homes and businesses stand out, giving historic Lunenburg a cheerier look.\nIt’s hard to believe Sidi Bou Said is just minutes outside Tunis, Tunisia’s largest city. The picturesque Mediterranean town feels worlds away, with its bougainvillea-draped stone streets and blue-accented, whitewashed buildings. Sidi Bou Said is also known for its white-sand beaches and impressive harbor.\nSurrealist artist Salvador Dalí supposedly found inspiration in this village on Spain’s Costa Brava. He spent time in Cadaqués while growing up and later had his home and studio (now a museum) in neighboring Port Lligat. Cadaqués has a rustic, yet sophisticated charm. Whitewashed houses with tiled roofs line the rocky coast, and art galleries continue to flourish.\nLocated in Vietnam’s dramatic Halong Bay, with lush mountains as a backdrop, this little village is completely composed of floating homes. About 700 people (traditionally fishermen) live in anchored houseboats, with kids attending a floating school. Cua Van has become a popular tourist attraction, as visitors want to see this unusual way of life for themselves.\nIn the 1700s, Greenland began the tradition of color-coding its buildings: hospitals were yellow, police stations black, fisheries blue. The colors were the same from town to town. Folks eventually chose more varied pigments for their dwellings. In the archetypal fishing village Ilulissat, the rainbow-hued architecture makes a stark contrast to the Arctic surroundings. Ilulissat is also home to an ice fjord of the same name: a collection of giant icebergs that you can see from the streets.\nOia is a town on the northern coast of Santorini. Perched on cliffs above the sea, it’s the romantic blue-and-white Greek town that has launched thousands of cruise-ship vacations.\nThe maritime way of life is firmly rooted in the DNA of Paternoster, about 90 miles north of Cape Town. Most buildings are classic fishermen’s cottages, white with dark roofs. The town enforces a strict architectural code to preserve its character. Fittingly, you can get great seafood here. Paternoster hosts a Crayfish and Seafood Festival each November, featuring South African favorites like snoek braai (a regional fish, dried and cooked over coals), potjiekos (seafood stew), and fresh crayfish, cooked to order.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://www.savvytravel.com.my/experience-the-vibrant-diversity-of-asia-with-your-team/","date":"2024-02-23T05:57:45Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474361.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223053503-20240223083503-00580.warc.gz","language_score":0.864112377166748,"token_count":640,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2024-10","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__122318261","lang":"en","text":"Experience the Vibrant\nDiversity of Asia with Your Team\nWelcome to your definitive guide for organizing phenomenal company trips to Asia.

Of this there is no doubt. Ephesus, Troy, Assos, Pergamon and Miletus: the Aegean region was the centre of the most important cities of the ancient world.\nThe miles long esplanade, “Kordon”, with its date palms, its houses built in the Mediterranean colonial style and winding narrow streets throughout the old town are all part of the picturesque coastal city rightly named by its residents “Pearl of the Aegean”.Müge ÖzbağThe myths and heroic songs of old reflect the ancient history of the city. The city's influence on the most important centers of the ancient world is still perceptible because of the different cultures that have left their mark on the city: the Persians, Romans, Byzantians, Ottomans, Greeks and the Jews have all influenced the history of the city.It is assumed that the city is named after the Amazon queen Tsmirna. Her statue was once located on the 160 meter high hill named Pagos at the entrance gate of “Kadifekale”, which means “velvet castle”. The Turks called the statue Saba Melikesi Kaydafa. Legend has it that the Queen of Sheba came from Yemen and founded the city on the hill. Here you can enjoy the tranquility and magnificent views of the city and bay. On entering the bazaar of Kemeraltı, established in the 17th century and located beneath the castle, tranquility is no more. Customers in the bazaar are mainly locals, unlike in other bazaars such as the Egyptian Bazaar in Istanbul. In the labyrinth made up of tiny alleyways and crowds of people, blacksmiths, saddle makers and spice traders can still be found plying their trade. Ambling through the alleyways of the bazaar one can also discover the ruins of the Agora, the ancient centre of the city.\nMotivated by its candidacy for the EXPO 2015, the third-largest city in Turkey has begun an overall renovation. “We restored the ancient buildings located in the Bazaar of Kemeraltı, which is one of the main symbols of the city. The Kadifekale, the Agora and the Bazaar are all connected to each other by an Archaeological-Park”, notes the mayor of İzmir, Aziz Kocaoğlu.In Asansör, the former Jewish quarter, a huge red brick tower built behind the houses and narrow streets, attracts widespread attention. This tower, also called Asansör, contains two separate elevators. The tower, built in 1907 by Jewish businessman Nesim Levi Bayrakoğlu, provided the residents of the traditional Jewish quarter on the Halil Rıfat Paşa Hill with a more convenient route to their homes. Thanks to the Asansör, the residents were saved the twice-daily hike up and down the 155 steps that separated them from their homes. As is the case from the citadel of Kadifekale, there is a breathtaking view over the entire city of İzmir from the tower. The Dario-Moreno-Alley, named after the famous Turkish-Jewish singer and film star who was born in İzmir, leads to the entrance of the Asansör. “I have crossed many seas, and searched for similar, but found none as beautiful as you” are the lyrics of one of his famous songs called, “My Beloved İzmir”. After his death in 1968 his home was converted into a museum.“The region around İzmir is an example of how different cultures and religions can live together in peace. Today, as a result, it is not only our democratic culture that is strengthened, but modern city planning as well”, says Aziz Kocaoğlu. During the Ottoman Empire the city was also known as “Gavur İzmir”, which means “non-believing İzmir”. In the year 1918 there were 155.000 orthodox Greeks, 44.000 Turks, 21.000 Jews, 10.000 Armenians and 50.000 foreigners including British, French, German and Italians all residing in İzmir. Although the make up of the population has changed, the peaceful coexistence amongst the different cultures is an entrenched core value of this modern and cosmopolitan city. That is probably why the most liberal minded youth of Turkey is to be found here. Another proverb goes, “İzmir girls are the most beautiful in Turkey.” Besides beautiful girls, İzmir's other well known symbol is its clock tower, the Saat Kulesi. The post Ottoman-Moorish style clock tower, a gift from German Emperor Wilhem II, was built in honor of the grand vizier, Kücük Sait Paşa and Sultan Abdülhamid II. The clock tower is used as a meeting point for young and old alike. People often say how happy they are to live in İzmir. The optimism and energy of the people can be felt throughout the city. This lust for life is especially evident in the Alsancak entertainment quarter. Here modern life and age-old traditions live side by side. Behind the many modern buildings and shop fronts you cannot help but notice the small, beautifully restored houses, which today serve as cafes. Here you can relax after an exhausting shopping expedition or just meet friends for a chat.\nBefore leaving İzmir however, if nothing else make sure to enjoy at sunset a casual stroll or nostalgic ride with a horse and trap along the “Kordon” esplanade. An unforgettable experience…\nInform,Saturday, May 24, 2008","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.trailsendbedandbreakfast.com/near-us.html","date":"2023-12-03T08:06:56Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100489.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20231203062445-20231203092445-00411.warc.gz","language_score":0.8516181707382202,"token_count":252,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-50","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__112777319","lang":"en","text":"Trails End is also within WALKING DISTANCE to:\nThings to do:\nTrails End is just 3 miles from the Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) which is ideal for off-roading enthusiasts.

Biografia Władysława Noskowskiego. W rozdziale tym została opisana historia obchodów stulecia nazwania Góry Kościuszki, a także losy tablic upamiętniających to historyczne wydarzenie.\nHip, Hip, Hurray!\nExcerpted from Konsul [The Consul] by biographer Bogumiła Żongołłowicz, about the life of Władysław Noskowski, translated by Alexandra Chciuk-Celt, all rights reserved.\nTranslator’s note: Andrzej Tadeusz Kościuszko (1746-1817), pronounced kush-CHOOSH-kuh, was a Polish patriotic hero and military engineer who fought the Russians and Prussians during the partitions of Poland-Lithuania and the British in the American Revolutionary War. His name was frequently misspelled Kosciusko and Kosciuszko.\nThe Second World War saw the hundredth anniversary of the first recorded ascent of Mount Kosciuszko (spelled Kosciusko until 1997) by the outstanding Polish explorer, traveller, and scholar Paweł Edmund Strzelecki (1797-1873). Although he only remained in Australia for four years, Strzelecki nevertheless entered the country’s history. Mount Kosciuszko (2228 meters above sea level), which he climbed, surveyed, and named, is the highest point on the continent, located in the Australian Alps.\nThe close-knit group of people interested in the centenary celebrations included Consul Noskowski as well as Herbert John Lamble, who ran the Hotel Kosciusko, which the Noskowskis would frequent. The one-storied 250-bed building of stone and wood was constructed with State money in 1909. Lamble wanted it to equal Swiss hotels in stature. The hotel burned down in 1951.\nWhile in Europe in 1933, Lamble combined business with pleasure and visited Kraków so as to familiarise himself with information about Tadeusz Kościuszko. When asked whether his own compatriots knew the origin of the mountain’s name, he said: “… many Australians believe that word originated… with the Australian aborigines. This is why I decided to make my hotel some type of propaganda for that great name. In Kraków I found the Kościuszko coat of arms, which I plan to place up front… and on the stationery as well …. I also want to have my hotel feature booklets about who Kościuszko was, and an appropriate plaque. [Pozdrowienie z dalekiej Góry Kościuszki, Ilustrowany Kuryer Codzienny (Illustrated Daily Courier), No. 45, 1933, p. 2.]\nLamble also intended to install a commemorative plaque and even a bronze statue atop Mount Kosciusko, similar to the Kościuszko statue on Kraków’s hallowed Wawel Hill, and “surrounded by a series of figures representing great Australian discoverers. Of course one of the primary positions would be occupied by that of Count (sic!) Strzelecki,” he said. “I am under the impression that faraway Australia and Poland could reach an understanding in many fields, since they have so many similar traditions.” [Ibid.]\nConsul Noskowski also spoke about a statue on his visit to Poland, albeit one of Strzelecki. At that time he commissioned Wojciech Kossak to paint the explorer’s portrait astride a horse; it was never painted, probably because the war broke out. A gigantic Strzelecki monument, a gift from the Polish nation, was put up in the small town of Jindabyne for the bicentenary of the discovery of Australia. he bronze creation was effected by artist Jerzy Sobociński, the casting by the Technical Devices Authority in Gliwice, Poland.\nFlorence Taylor, Australia’s first female architect, was planning a Kosciusko Ball at the “Trocadero” dancing establishment. An art-deco construct which could hold two thousand persons opened just as the country was emerging from a recession and offered some Hollywood-style splendor. On Friday and Saturday nights it was possible to meet well-known actors, popular journalists, club presidents, politicians, thrill-seeking tourists, and most of all, Sydneysider dance enthusiasts. A fancy dress ball in such a site would have proved most profitable, but once again, the war reshuffled everyone’s priorities.\nLamble, Noskowski, and Taylor joined the organising committee celebrating the centenary of the scaling of Mount Kosciusko. Lamble became the secretary, and the director selected was the philosopher and pedagogue Francis Anderson. As the times were deemed inappropriate for frolic, it was decided to keep the events low-key—the unveiling of a commemorative plaque financed by monies from a public collection.\nThe founders list from 15 December 1939 to 30 June 1940 finalised at an amount of seventy pounds three shillings and ten pence. It was opened by the Kooya Committee of Historical Research, which was responsible for the contents inscribed upon the plaque, by payment of one pound and one shilling, i.e. one guinea. The list also contains many well known personages in the world of culture, politics, and business, such as Hugh Denison and his wife, as well as Henry Manning, and institutions and organisations, including the Royal Australian Historical Society, the Cooma Ski Club, the Kosciusko Snow Revellers Club, the Ski Council of NSW, as well as schools such as the Duntroon Public School and Scots College.\nThe Arts Club of Sydney actively participated in the collection thanks to its chairman Florence Taylor and princess Harriet Radziwill, the widow of Stewart Dawson, a very rich jeweller and real-estate potentate. Harriet obtained the title by marrying Michal Radziwill in London—“supposedly a penniless carouser,” as Noskowski wrote in a letter to L. Paszkowski on 31 December 1967 [source: author’s files]. She gave him a fortune and came to Australia in order to escape Nazi bombardment. “She told me she always wanted him to join her here, but he refused. She went back to London after the war.” [Ibid.]\nThe Old Fashioned Musical Evening Florence organized in her home-cum-office and the Novelty Afternoon Tea Party at the “Romano” Restaurant yielded over sixteen pounds. Princess Radziwill added five pounds and five shillings.\nOn Thursday, 15 February 1940, the centenary of the discovery of Mount Kosciusko, a commemorative plaque was attached to the granite rock at the peak. This was performed by George Day, manager of the Charlotte Pass shelter, along with his workers. The unveiling ceremony was postponed from Thursday to Saturday for logistical reasons: it was a day off from school and work. Numerous people from Sydney professed an interest in participating in the event, and they had to be transported, fed, and lodged. Deciding whether to include children and young people was a pedagogical matter.\nThe inscription on the main plaque unveiled by Consul Noskowski and his wife reads as follows:\n“From the valley of the Murray River the Polish explorer Paul Edmund Strzelecki ascended these Australian Alps on 15th February 1840. A ‘pinnacle, rocky and naked, predominant over several others, was chosen by Strzelecki for a point of trigonometrical survey.’ ‘The particular configuration of this eminence, he recorded, ‘struck me so forcibly by the similarity it bears to a tumulus elevated in Krakow over the tomb of the patriot Kosciusko, that, although in a foreign country, on foreign ground, but amongst a free people, who appreciate freedom and its votaries, I could not refrain from giving it the name of Mount Kosciusko.”\nTranslated from L. Paszkowski, Polacy w Australii i Oceanii 1790-1940 (Poles in Australia and Oceania 1790-1940), Toruń-Melbourne 2008, p. 151.\nBelow that a second, significantly smaller plaque installed sometime later noted as follows:\n“This commemorative plaque was unveiled by the Consul General of the Republic of Poland for Australia, New Zealand and Western Samoa, Ladislas Adam de Noskowski Esq. on the 17th February 1940.” [Ibid.]\nThe ceremony’s chief dignitary was NSW Crown Prosecutor Henry Manning, representing the State government in the absence of the Prime Minister, and some four hundred other persons participated. The snowy mountain massif glittered in the sun from the morning. Above the crowd was a group of shepherds in stockings and sombreros from beyond the border with Victoria; it had taken them three days to conquer many miles of difficult terrain on horseback. Never before had the Australian Alps seen such a numerous assemblage. Only half as many people had attended the first Mass read atop the mountain 23 February 1913. (See A Unique Centenary, Cooma Express, 26 February 1940, p. 1.)\nOver a hundred pupils from schools in Berridale, Cooma, Jindabyne, Kalkite and Wheatfield who had contributed pennies and halfpennies to the collection sang “Advance Australia Fair”, the Polish and British national anthems, and the march “Poland You Will Rise Again”, composed specially for this occasion by Florence Brigg-Cooper of Annandale in Sydney. [Ceremony. Centenary Tablet. Sydney Morning Herald, 19 February 1940, p. 13.]\nOur hearts go out to Poland and her folk across the sea,\nThis sunny land Australia soon will help set them free.\nThey proved their dauntless courage, when they suffered for us all,\nThe very most that we can do, will still be far too small!\nSo lift our voices every one and join in the refrain,\n“Poland you will rise, you will rise again.”\nThere is money needed sadly, so we now appear to you.\nPlease give us your pounds or shillings and we’ll take your pennies too.\nWe know that you’re good Australians and will do your level best,\nIf you supply the needful, we’ll see to all the rest.\nSo lift our voices every one and join in the refrain,\n“Poland you will rise, you will rise again.”\nConsul Noskowski summarized the ceremony events with the following words:\n“Nothing was more significant in present world struggle than that, while the Germans were busy pulling down every monument they could find of that great champion of liberty and freedom, the children of Australia were building up another monument.” [Ibid.]\n“Hip, hip, hurray!” resounded three times as the adults saluted the children at the end of the official portion, which was followed by refreshments at the Kosciusko Hotel. Participants included Beatrice and Władysław Noskowski, Henry Manning and his daughter, Herbert Lamble, Florence Taylor and Florence Brigg-Cooper. Francis Anderson was absent due to illness. An unexpected but welcome guest was Sydney archbishop Norman Gilroy, a guest of the hotel at the time.\nIn the name of the Władysław Sikorski government in exile, Minister A. Zaleski transmitted his thanks to Noskowski for his “efforts and propaganda activities for Poland in Australia, and especially for the collection work for the funding of the ceremonial plaque.” [Letter fromZaleski to W. Noskowski dated 20 March 1940 (the author’s files).]\nThe first vandalisations took place during the consul’s lifetime. “Until 1965 it was possible for an automobile to drive from Charlotte Pass almost to the peak of Mount Kosciusko,” Krzysztof Kleiber, former Embassy secretary, explained by letter dated 4 February 2013 to the author… “Each one had a hammer and other precision tools aboard, hence the ‘vandalisation’ problem. A pocket knife would not have done the job.” [Author’s files.]\nIn 1997 Kleiber saw the plaques while touring Australia with his wife. Shortly thereafter they had to be removed by the authorities of the Kosciuszko National Park, as he did not find them on his 2004 climb of Mount Kosciuszko upon his arrival to work at the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Canberra. He attempted to find them due to their landmark value as well as the time and circumstances of their unveiling and did not desist in his efforts until he “discovered” them in some shack on the park grounds and transported them to the embassy building—or rather dragged them, as the larger one weighed over seventy kilograms. The initial consideration was to return them to their original spot, but it soon proved overly difficult to effect. Another idea was to wall them into the Strzelecki monument in Jindabyne. Upon repairs, they were exhibited in the lobby of the embassy in the hope that they might someday return to the peak.\nAuthor’s note: I broached this subject in an interview with SBS Polish Radio 30 January 2017 with the firm conviction that this “someday” might now be upon us, as the Sejm parliament of the Republic of Poland had designated that year as Tadeusz Kościuszko Year.\nKsiążka Konsul.

All are from out of town: seven from the United States, two – my wife and me – from Toronto.\nWith her black binder in hand, Maccioni then escorts the group into an alleyway, not usually the kind of place included on tourist itineraries.\n“We’re walking back here to set the scene of what this area was like in the early 1900s when it was a largely Jewish immigrant neighborhood,” she says, standing at the rear of low-rise residential buildings in the Plateau neighborhood.\n“Back then, these were not the style of homes we think of today. These were multi-purpose spaces. Obviously, people lived there but many also housed boarders, and even ran businesses out of their homes. You have to imagine a different sensory experience from today, with lots of food smells as people were pickling things here including fish.”\nMaccioni points to one of the buildings.\n“Although you’d never know it from what we’re looking at, this is actually where a major Jewish food company began in 1932,” Maccioni recounts. “It’s called Mrs. Whyte’s Pickles and still exists, and everybody in Montreal knows. Oh, and you can take out your pickles now.”\nWe all reach into the black tote bags we received at the start of the tour a few hours earlier and take out a small paper bag containing a pickle. As we savor it, Maccioni continues her narrative, holding up her binder to show us photocopied old black-and-white pictures.\n“Mrs. Whtye’s Pickles was started in this backyard by Sam and Esther Witenoff who came to Montreal from Russia around 1900,” she adds. “While Sam became a door-to-door bread salesman, his wife Esther was pickling at home. She told Sam people loved her pickles and suggested he sell them, too. Initially, he refused, saying his customers wouldn’t buy them.\n“Eventually, he yielded and ended up selling more pickles than bread. So she knew. In 1936, they decided to sell just pickles as Mrs. Whyte’s, a diminutive of their last name, and started making them out of their apartment in this building.”\nThis is but one of many such evocative tales told on the Beyond the Bagel walking tour that brings to life Montreal’s abundant Jewish heritage, especially as it relates to food. Started in 2015 by the Museum of Jewish Montreal (MJM), trained guides conduct the four-hour tour several times a week in English and once a week in French, from the spring to the fall.\nMaccioni, 22, is one of seven (four Jewish, three not) who lead the tours. She does it twice weekly and works in the MJM’s Jewish café. Maccioni moved to Montreal from the US three years ago to study Art History at McGill University and began giving tours last year after completing a week-long food fellowship at the MJM.\nEarlier in our tour, on the corner of Fairmount and Clark in the now hip Mile End neighborhood, Maccioni transported us back to another era, giving us a vivid taste, literally and figuratively, of Montreal’s storied Jewish culinary past.\n“Has anyone heard of Wilensky’s?” she asks, saying several TV food shows have featured the venerable diner. It also appears in the well-known novel “The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz” by the late Canadian writer Mordechai Richler and in its movie version.\nBefore we enter Wilensky’s Light Lunch to sample its legendary sandwich, the Wilensky Special, Maccioni explains it was founded in 1932 by Moe Wilensky who opened its first location nearby on St. Urbain St. before moving – with its original décor – to its current location in 1952. It’s still owned and run by the same family after 85 years and is one of the last remaining old-school deli counters from when the area was populated largely by Eastern European Jewish working class immigrants.\nWilensky began making sandwiches in the 1930s and one in particular – beef bologna and beef salami with mustard on a roll put into a sandwich press – became the famous “Wilensky Special” which each of us would receive.\n“You should know you can’t order it without mustard and they’re never going to cut it in half for you, and there are signs indicating that,” adds Maccioni. “Another great thing they do is old fashioned sodas. They make the syrup and then pour seltzer on top.”\nBoth Wilensky’s time-honored decor and its marquee sandwich made a strong impression on our group.\n“It’s crazy that a tradition like that hasn’t just died out,” says Eric Osman, 25, an independent music producer in Philadelphia. “I was impressed by the Wilensky Special. You’d think people would look at it and go, OK, why are we eating this? I love it. It’s so classic, so ridiculous. It’s kind of a phenomenon that it still exists and I love places that are somewhat of a time capsule.”\nAnother place on the tour that’s a throwback to the past but still very much present is Beauty’s Luncheonette. Known as the Bancroft Snack Bar in 1942 when newlyweds Hymie and Freda Sckolnick bought it, they re-named it after his bowling nickname Beauty. Today, 75 years later, Beauty’s is one of Montreal’s best spots for brunch and Hymie still works there at age 96, along with his son and granddaughter.\nWhen most people hear of Montreal and Jewish food, most think of bagels and smoked meat which have near-iconic status in the city. Predictably, both figure prominently on the tour.\nIn the first hour, Maccioni takes us to the city’s two most famous purveyors of bagels, St. Viateur and Fairmount, whose longstanding rivalry is part of Montreal lore. Located near each other in Mile End, both are open 24/7, their wood-fired ovens constantly producing bagels.\nAfter giving an historical overview of Montreal bagels, Maccioni describes what sets them apart from New York bagels – the former are hand-rolled, boiled in honey water, lighter, sweeter and smaller than their New York counterparts.\nSometimes it seems as if all Montrealers have an opinion on which bagel – St. Viateur or Fairmount – is better. Having received samples from both, Maccioni asks us to state our preference. It was almost unanimous in favor of Fairmount, which she said was consistent with how her previous groups voted.\nThe tour attracts more out-of-towners than locals, both Jews (including Israelis) and non-Jews, some familiar with Jewish food, some not.\n“We were looking for things to do while in Montreal and as we love food and have always been interested in Jewish food, we figured the tour could be worthwhile,” says Cheryl Lim, 40, a Singapore-born financial advisor who’s lived in Boston since 2000 and was spending the weekend in Montreal with a friend.\n“We liked the idea of this tour because it’s rare you get an activity where you learn about food, get to taste it and discover its history and culture. It’s made more interesting by the fact that Montreal has a large Jewish community,” said Lim.\nIt used to be much larger. Today, Montreal is home to about 90,000 Jews, far less than in its heyday 50 years ago when it was Canada’s largest, most vibrant Jewish community, numbering about 120,000.\nWith a French-speaking nationalist movement starting in the 1960s, including a small violent faction, demanding sovereignty for Quebec and the election of a “separatist” government in 1976, many businesses and English-speaking residents (including a lot of Jews) left the province due to the political and economic instability. Many moved to Toronto, whose Jewish community is now twice the size of Montreal’s.\nIronically, the main person behind the food tours is not originally Jewish. Katherine Romanow, 32, who grew up in an Italian-Ukrainian home in Montreal, is now in the process of converting to Judaism this year.\n“Food is how I was introduced to Judaism,” says Romanow, who describes herself as a Jewish food historian. “To a large degree, it’s how I relate to Judaism.”\nAfter completing an MA at Montreal’s Concordia University in Judaic Studies focusing on Jewish food history, she wanted to create projects through which she could share the subject with people in a fun, accessible way. She co-founded The Wandering Chew in 2013 to celebrate Montreal’s diverse Jewish culinary offerings through “immersive food events” such as pop-up dinners and walking tours.\nBeyond the Bagel was the idea of Romanow and Zev Moses, the executive director of the MJM. However, she did the research, wrote the content and was the sole tour guide the first year in 2015.\n“Montreal has such a rich Jewish food history, largely unknown by most people,” says Romanow, director of Food Programming at the MJM. “We thought a walking tour would be a great way to teach people about it.”\nIt is, in ways big and small — such as when Maccioni points out in passing while we walk to our next stop on Saint Laurent Blvd. that the unassuming joint on our right, Bagel Etc., is where the late singer and writer Leonard Cohen, who had a home nearby, often went for breakfast when in town.\nDown the street, we pause at a plaque with several old photos showing where Ida Steinberg opened a grocery store 100 years ago that grew into a now-defunct dynasty that changed the way people shopped for groceries in Quebec.\nWe learn of other formerly thriving businesses now long gone but remembered fondly.\nNot all the stops date back to the 20th century or further. Illustrating Montreal’s new generation of Jewish food entrepreneurs — part of what’s referred to as “the new Jewish food movement” — Maccioni took us into Hof Kelsten, a bakery and eatery that also provides its bread to local high-end restaurants.\nOwner Jeff Finkelstein opened the business a few years ago, inspired by his grandmother’s baking and cooking. As if we hadn’t already consumed enough carbs, Maccioni gave everyone bialys and rugelach to taste. Among the dishes served there for breakfast and lunch: Israeli favorite, shakshuka.\nEn route to the final and most exalted of the tour’s 16 food stops, Schwartz’s Montreal Hebrew Delicatessen, Maccioni showed us the Bagg Street Shul, which opened in 1922 and is the oldest synagogue in Quebec still functioning in its original location.\nJust before introducing the group to Schwartz’s, she referred to nearby Moishe’s, one of the city’s oldest and most respected restaurants. Its original name was the Romanian Paradise when Moishe Lighter, a Romanian Jewish immigrant, won it in a poker game in 1938. The venerated steakhouse has been at the same location ever since, now managed by Lighter’s two sons.\nTrue to its reputation, Schwartz’s was packed when we arrived, with a lineup snaking out the door down the sidewalk in front, comprised of many foreign tourists. Fortunately, Maccioni didn’t have to wait outside to get the smoked meat sandwiches to give us.\nFounded in 1928 by Reuven Schwartz, a Jewish immigrant from Romania, it long ago became a Montreal institution, celebrated for its beef brisket cured for 10 days and then steamed according to an old tradition. Although it’s remained at the same location ever since, it’s had various owners over the years. In 2012, Quebec diva Celine Dion and group of other investors bought the business.\nMaccioni took the sandwiches to go and guided us across the street to the final destination – the MJM – where we enjoyed the last taste of the tour sitting in its Fletcher’s Café, whose own menu reflects a more diverse Jewish cuisine, offering dishes rooted in both Ashkenzazi and Shephardic traditions.\nWhile steeped in Montreal’s Jewish culinary past, Romanow is upbeat about its future and enduring appeal.\n“We have a really exciting new generation of Jewish food businesses opening and I’m excited to see how that’s going to shape the Jewish food scene here,” she says. “It’s also great that the Jewish food institutions that have been around for 80 years are still very relevant to the food scene in Montreal.”\nInterestingly, for all its plethora of Jewish food, Montreal offers little in the way of Israeli cuisine, unlike many cities in North America and Europe where it has become increasingly popular.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.jabolka.net/en/","date":"2024-04-20T03:25:36Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817474.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420025340-20240420055340-00336.warc.gz","language_score":0.9711219072341919,"token_count":429,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2024-18","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__137394653","lang":"en","text":"Fruit Growing Farm Pr' Jernejc!

In addition, we have 5 ha of meadows and fields.\nThe history of intensive fruit growing is not long here, but the great-grandfather Prešeren Alojz planted and grafted fruit trees at the beginning of the 20th century. He had planted about a hectare of pears called \"Moštarice\" and \"Tepke\" and various varieties of apple trees from which the fruits were used to cook brandy. The next generation was more focused on livestock breeding so fruit growing in the middle of the 20th century was neglected.\nThe history of intense fruit growing began in 1995 when individual farmers began planting the first intensive crops in Gorenjska. During this time, we also planted the first apple plantations. Since then, fruit growing has inspired us, and we are expanding and improving the plantations. Part of the plantations are covered with a net against the hail. In order to preserve the harvest, we also have cold stores with a capacity of keeping 130 tons. We sell apples and other products at home as well as to local fruit merchants.\nWe also try to grow other fruit species that thrive perfectly in Gorenjska region, because of the special climate and soil. They pamper us with a divine taste and a special aroma.\nFruit growing farm Pr 'Jernejc is included in the Rural Development Program:","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://frondandfiligree.co.za/product-tag/candle/","date":"2022-01-28T10:55:59Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305494.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128104113-20220128134113-00116.warc.gz","language_score":0.8033514022827148,"token_count":88,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2022-05","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-05__0__117398995","lang":"en","text":"Showing all 4 results\nCape Island Glass Scented Candle\nCape Island candles are hand poured in South Africa, using a soy wax blend and fine perfume oils imported from the Grasse region of France.

When asked her about her impressions and experience, she discovered that the cross-cultural adventure and working as a virtual team member had its challenges.\nQ1. Interviewer: “What kind of changes have you noticed in Israel since you were last there?”\nYael Zofi (YZ): “It was quite obvious to me, from the moment I landed and ensconced myself and family members in a rented apartment outside of Tel Aviv, that Israel has accomplished a lot that was visible to any traveler, and also within the overall global business environment. A nation coming into existence in 1948, sitting in a desert, obviously has transformed itself into a country with a huge worldwide presence having modern cities alongside farmland. There is much gentrification in the cities themselves and the suburbs.\nOftentimes, while traveling up and down the country, I felt I was back in the States. Seeing similar buildings, cities and suburbs and crowded centers of population with contemporary malls and glass structures reminded me of modern urban metropolitan locations around the world. Even the neighborhood around the farm I grew up on is almost unrecognizable.\nIsrael now is seen as a center of technology and innovation. I was reminded of that every day when I was driving the roads using the Israeli developed Smartphone app – ‘Waze’. Now Waze is used around the globe helping drivers navigate around traffic problems, road hazards and even the police – thankfully.\nFor such a young country they have made so many advancements, despite their challenges.\nThere used to be a water shortage, but they have created a conversion system. There is a special way to water the plants- now used all over the world, long tubes with holes, a slow watering mechanism. As a child, I remember we weren’t allowed to water plants in the summer. And now they’ve figured out how to change salt water into sweet water.\nIf there’s a problem, they create a solution. That’s what’s kind of cool about the country often called ‘The Startup Nation’. A small nation surrounded by enemies, Israel has learned how to survive and thrive despite their challenges.\nIt’s very energizing to see such a mindset of innovation in such a concentrated space. Israel doesn’t get the credit it deserves – how advanced, how loving, positive and inviting, what curious learners they are, how much they like to travel, innovative. A democratic country in the Middle East – an amazing phenomenon…”\nQ2. Interviewer: “What are some uniquely Israeli ways of doing business that you feel all cultures could benefit from and why? And how would you compare it to the way business is conducted in the USA?”\nYZ: “I think, what I really like about Israeli business culture is its directness in conversation. It’s typical to ask personal questions, about upbringing, about where you went in the military, where your family is from, etc. Just about everyone I met- we shared something personal. There was a real cross-cultural connection at the relationship level. Interestingly, as someone who lived there until I was 10 years old, I found that the Israeli’s business English terms are similar, so I found it easy to converse in Hebrew. I think the unique thing was the way that one would say something and another would jump in – we often jumped into one another’s sentences.\nIn the US we seem to be more “polite” and “reserved” when conversing about potential business deals. Israelis are more open and direct – even at times coming across “brusk”. For example, In Israel, people are not afraid to ask how much it costs, how much you charge. These are not conversations you have in the US. In my experience, Professional Services Fees are always a difficult conversation to have with any US client. It’s sort of a guessing game. But in Israel, those conversations were easier, and even expected.\nOverall I found that these types of sensitive topics are considered normal and straight to the point in Israel. I think it creates a kind of ‘Instant Trust’ that it is quite refreshing.”\nQ3. Interviewer: “How was your experience of being a virtual team member for an extended amount of time?”\nYZ: “Technology did indeed provide some communications challenges. When I was remote, especially when my phone died four times, I had only intermittent connection with my home based team. I was often unable to make a phone call back to the States. I was therefore not able to check on most things being done directly.\nI had to count on my virtual team members and their email communications in order to follow up by seeing their beginning and end of day reports. I also struggled a lot with the time zones. It was difficult to have a double schedule – where I had daytime meetings, and then at 9 pm and even 11pm I had to participate on conference calls back in the States, which was 7 hours earlier.\nAs a virtual team member I didn’t want to be on a call at 11 pm every night, so that was frustrating. I can relate – you are the furthest one away. At one point I had a virtual coaching call lasting a few hours, I was extremely tired, maybe still jet lagged. So, what I did in order to stay alert and not sound sleepy, was to make sure I sat upright, so my voice would sound more awake and confident.”","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://suisse-key.com/privacy-policy-and-imprint?lang=en","date":"2023-06-03T02:13:05Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224648911.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20230603000901-20230603030901-00498.warc.gz","language_score":0.923700749874115,"token_count":970,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-23","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__187098003","lang":"en","text":"We use the service of Abstract API to determine your rough location.

The two had different reasons for taking the journey, but both saw it as a form of personal growth and as a way to gain life experience.\nThis journey has been a dream of Grossman’s since high school. Growing up in the Northeast, he wanted a chance to gain new perspectives and explore other parts of the country. His goal was to meet locals and other travelers throughout the trip while biking with two close friends.\n“It’s a fantastic way to read, think, and explore part of this vast and diverse continent,” said Grossman.\nHe said that biking allows him to experience the country more slowly. The trip was also a time for him to think, read, and learn outside of school. To prepare, he cycled 300 miles. He followed the Northern Tier bicycle route. He also took detours to visit other places including Chicago and Mount Rainier in Washington state. He mostly stayed in state and national parks, but also appreciated the many people who allowed him to pitch his tent on their lawns.\n“It never fails to amaze me how welcoming and gracious others can be once you take the initiative and begin the conversation,” he said. “The hospitality of strangers throughout the country can easily restore one’s faith in humanity.”\nHe started in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and traveled mostly through the northern part of the country. One of the highlights of the trip for Grossman was traveling through Glacier National Park where he hiked, swam in waterfalls, and enjoyed the view. “Glacier is surprisingly diverse and beautiful no matter where you go in the park,” he said.\nHe ended in Olympic National Park along the Washington coast on August 8. “I enjoyed the physical challenge and appreciated having the time to discuss big ideas with friends,” he said. “I also learned some of my limits and my values. For example, I realized that I can live happily with close to nothing but a tent and a stove. If I decide to risk it all, I know that I will always be able to support myself.”\nAt the University of Miami, Grossman studies physics and is interested in exploring big ideas that have power across disciplines. He worked on the rocket for the Hybrid Motor Rocket competition and was on the leadership team. He also plays on the ultimate frisbee team. He could see himself working as an entrepreneur, at a startup, or in a position that searches for novel solutions to world problems.\nReflecting on the experience, Grossman said that the trip “has strengthened my ‘can do’ attitude and amplified my perspective of the circumstances facing people outside of bigger coastal cities. It has also inspired me to work at Google and improve their bicycling edition of Google Maps.”\nRead David’s personal blog about his experience here.\nCatherine Kemp biked across the country for the second time. During her time at the University of Illinois, she was involved with Illini 4000, a student-run nonprofit that raises money for cancer research and patient support services. She lost her grandfather, a close friend, a high school teacher, and other loved ones to cancer, which encouraged her to become involved with Illini 4000. She saw the organization as a way to make a difference in the fight against cancer and said it taught her how to better support people with cancer. She served on the organization’s Board of Directors.\nThe Illini 4000 does a yearly bike ride across the country from New York to San Francisco to raise money and awareness about cancer. Kemp participated in the first ride after her freshman year and now has done it for the second time as a ride leader. During the trip, riders participated in what they call the Portraits Project, for which they took photos and interviewed cancer survivors and caregivers about their experiences. In addition to giving these people a space to talk about their experiences, the stories are shared on a website that is meant to serve as a resource and foster a community for others affected by cancer.\nAs a ride leader of the 17 person team, she said she saw other riders becoming more comfortable talking to new people about the trip and their personal experiences with cancer. She said it was incredible to see how much stronger, both physically and mentally, her team became.\n“It’s really cool to know when our riders are pedaling up that mountain and struggling, that they think of that other person with cancer and think, ‘What they’re going through is so much worse than anything I have to go through right now,’” she said.\nGrowing up visiting national parks, she decided to study natural resources and environmental science in college because she was interested in addressing the human side of environmental issues and enacting positive social change through policy. She was also interested in the opportunity to do undergraduate research. She minored in Spanish and studied abroad in Granada, Spain during her junior year. She was the editor in chief of the Green Observer, an environmental magazine at the University of Illinois. She also interned at the Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment at the University and worked to start a bike share program there as well.\nThrough Americorps, she now wants to work for an environmental nonprofit focused in outreach. She is interested in possibly using her Spanish skills to do conservation work in Latin America. In addition, she is exploring urban planning and could see herself working for a policy group advocating for environmental protection.\n“The Illini 4000 has definitely been one of the most formative experiences of my college career,” she said. “During the ride, I reached my physical and mental limits, and then pushed right past them. Serving on the Board of Directors and as the ride leader gave me invaluable leadership experience. I was very fortunate to connect with and learn from so many great people through this ride—my remarkable, compassionate teammates and the incredibly strong people we met during our journey.”","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://cindyxiong.com/2015/01/16/10-things-you-need-to-know-before-you-visit-washington-d-c/","date":"2023-05-28T03:13:43Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224643462.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20230528015553-20230528045553-00636.warc.gz","language_score":0.9562500715255737,"token_count":1898,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-23","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__205407915","lang":"en","text":"Back in October of 2014, my younger sisters and our uncle took a week long trip to Washington D.C. to visit all the war memorials. Since my uncle has a heart condition, we decided to rent an SUV and drive to Washington D.C. from Madison, Wisconsin instead of flying. Even though I did a lot of research beforehand and planned out as much as I could, there were a few hiccups during our trip that could have been avoided if I knew a few extra things.\nAs such, I’m here today on my WordPress blog to share with you the top 10 things you need to know before you visit Washington D.C. so that you can avoid unnecessary headaches during your trip.\n1. Washington D.C. residents are rude.\nAt first, I really thought that I had a negative attitude towards D.C. but after discovering that Travel + Leisure rated Washington D.C. as the third rudest city in America, I know it isn’t just me. Washington D.C. drivers drive like there are no pedestrians and pedestrians walk around like there are no such things as moving vehicles. Make sure you’ve got enough car rental insurance and that you’ve paid last month’s medical insurance bill because residents of Washington D.C. could give two licks if you’re trying to walk across the street (even when you’ve got the walk signal) or attempting to merge into a lane (with your signal on) because D.C. residents need to get where they’re going NOW.\n2. Your cell phone carrier will make or break your trip.\nIf you’re with a cell phone company that has slow 4G LTE coverage (Sprint, I’m looking at you), you’re going to find your Google Maps losing signal on one of the busiest highways … in the middle of rush hour. Also, you’re not going to be able to pull up TripAdvisor as quickly or as often you would like because the slow cellular data you’re using is also draining your battery (which is going to limit how many photos or videos you can take). Word to the wise, figure out what your data coverage is going to be like while you’re in D.C. so you can route your trips or plan attraction visits ahead of time because of your craptacular data coverage.\n3. Stay outside of Washington D.C.\nHotels in Washington D.C. are ridiculously expensive for the average tourist. Who wants to spend upwards of $150 a night on a room that you’re barely going to be in? To avoid paying for parking and other amenities you might otherwise expect to be free, stay in a hotel outside of Washington D.C. Many hotels in surrounding cities offer shuttles to Washington D.C. and are even located near public transportation that can take you to Washington D.C. quickly.\nWe stayed in a hotel in Alexandria, Virginia for a 4 days and spent less than $800 on a 2 bed suite (with free breakfast and parking). We decided to stay in Arlington because it’s only a 15 minute car ride from the hotel to the heart of most of the tourist attractions. Also, I liked the fact that we could escape the chaos that is D.C. at the end of the day. Trust me, after a day of shuffling around other tourist and traffic, you’re going to want to get away from it all.\n4. Most tourist attractions are cluttered together\nI found TripAdvisor to be especially helpful because the site/app offered real time member reviews. I was able to narrow down attractions we wanted to visit and plan our days around those sites. If you’ve got a few days, devote one day to the White House, war memorials, Lincoln Memorial, Lincoln Memorial Pool and Washington Monument because they’re all within a five minute walk of each other. Then spend the day at the Arlington Cemetery and visit the Marine Corps War Memorial at the end of the day. Plan on devoting another day to the Smithsonian Museums because they’re amazing (and free to visit). If you can, avoid major tourist attractions during peak hours.\n5. Avoid Chinatown like a plaque\nAvoid Chinatown because it’s nothing more than a arch way and a block or so of mediocre Chinese restaurants mixed with western stores like Walgreen’s. Trust me, it’s not worth the effort it takes to get there.\nThinking maybe the Chinese restaurants were hidden gems, my family and I took a chance and dined at New Big Wong Chinese Restaurant. Big mistake, we couldn’t finish our meal because the dishes were saturated in heavy, bland sauces. My garlic eggplant dish had more sauce than it did eggplant.\nOn our way out, a group of Asian business professionals stopped us and asked us how the food was. I did the so-so gesture and that was apparently enough for them to turn around and leave. I heard one of the women in the group saying something along the lines of “so-so is not good enough.”\n6. Be prepared to spend top dollar on parking if you don’t want to take public transit.\nIf you’re like me and decided to rent a vehicle to get you to Washington D.C., be prepared to pay top dollar for parking on the streets and in parking ramps. If you want to avoid paying these fees, read up on Washington D.C.’s public transportation. According to many other travel blogs and friends who live in D.C., public transportation is the way to go.\nIf you have to drive, there is free parking on streets by the war memorials but you’re only allowed to park for 3 hours at a time and have to remove your vehicle by 4 PM to make room for rush hour.\n- $23 for 2 hours of parking in a parking ramp near Chinatown.\n- $25 for an afternoon’s worth of parking in a parking ramp near the Smithsonian Museums.\n- $5.25 for an afternoon’s worth of parking at Arlington Cemetery.\n- $2.50 for 2 hours worth of parking in a parking ramp in Arlington, VA.\n- $7 for a mile and a half ride taxi ride.\n7. If you don’t have time to see all the major tourist sites in D.C., buy a ticket up to the top of the Washington Monument.\nFor $1.50, you can easily view all the major tourist attractions in the heart of D.C. from the top of the Washington Monument in minutes instead of hours. The National Park Service offers daily tours, from 9 AM to 5 PM. If you know you’re going to be in D.C. for sure on a certain day and time, you can buy your tickets way in advance.\n8. Don’t waste your time and money on bus tours.\nOne thing I observed while walking around Washington D.C. is that buses get stuck in traffic just like everyone else. There is no special lane for tour buses. Now, if you’re really lazy and want someone to plan your day for you, go ahead and sign up for bus tours but if you’re like me and want more control of where you go and when you go, save yourself some money and just go on self-guided tours.\n9. Traffic stops when President Obama leaves the White House.\nYep, it’s true. When President Obama leaves the White House, traffic is stopped and blocked until President Obama (and his motorcade of secret service) pass by. Did you know President Obama has his own ambulance follow him around?!?\nOn our second day in the city, just as we were walking away from our visit to the White House and towards Constitutional Avenue, we noticed that traffic had been cleared and there was security everywhere. Curious (and because security wouldn’t allow anyone to even cross the street), we watched a limousine with the Presidential Seal on it depart from the White House security gate. Of course we just stood there in awe and snapped pictures along with every other tourist.\n10. Last minute souvenir gifts of t-shirts are easy and cheap to come by.\nIf you’re like my younger sister who waited until the last day to get souvenir gifts for people, you’ll be incredibly grateful for the street vendors parked along and near Constitutional Boulevard who sell t-shirts for dirt cheap up until 6 PM or so. The street vendor we stopped at (right by the White House) sold his t-shirts for $5-$10 each.\nIf you’re looking for more personal and elegant gifts, I suggest you visit the Smithsonian Museum gift shops. If you’re looking for a gift for a war veteran, I highly recommend the small gift and coffee shop located along Constitutional Blvd, near the Vietnam War Memorial.\nOne Comment Add yours\nInteresting leisure read.

In some areas the legend is called “Buddha Tamnan” or “Buddha Tamnan Phra Chao Liap Lok”. It is a story of the Buddha’s journeys to Sipsong Panna, Lanna, Lan Chang and Thailand’s northeastern region. The legend explains the geography, history and culture of various communities and ethnic groups along the route the Buddha took in his journeys to disseminate his teachings. The legend says that he gave some of his hair to various communities and left the footprints in places he visited. The creation of structures containing the Buddha’s relics and footprints in these places sprang from the legend.\nThe legend of the Buddha’s Journeys records the local history of communities and the history of the adoption of Buddhism in regions in South East Asia, particularly in the 21st Buddhist century. It is told through the records of the Buddha’s journeys, which turned the places where he visited into sacred places of pilgrimage. The legend also explains the origin of geographical names and describes the people’s way of life and the ethnic groups in each area. This provides a common ground among the people of different regions and areas to feel connected through shared ideology, belief and faith in Buddhism - in particular the belief concerning the veneration of the Buddha’s relics and footprints.

In the US, we see a lot of acquisitions and collaborations by leading mobile network operators (MNOs) such as Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon. These MNOs are teaming up with application platform and device management platform providers to enhance the growth of M2M. Similarly in Europe we see companies like Vodafone and Telefonica, and SingTel in Asia, collaborating with multiple M2M platform providers for a global evolution. Howevert, MNOs are not the only ones influencing the communication aspect of M2M. Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) such as Jasper Wireless are providing service delivery platforms (SDPs) that act as a layer between applications and the MNOs. These SDPs are critical in the growth of M2M as they help standardize the applications in a multi-carrier, multi-national scenario.\nM2M APPS: How do you think the M2M market is growing its presence in the Indian market?\nRINITA SEN: We need to see the growth of M2M at a global level. The technologies required to develop M2M applications are in place, and many of them, such as the core sensor technology or the wireless networking technology, have reached maturity. However, the primary challenge that the M2M industry faces is fragmentation. The vast application areas and the complex value chain of M2M make it a highly fragmented market. A number of standardization bodies such as ETSI, TIA, 3GPP, and others are working on developing global standards for M2M. But as of yet, concrete standards have not been established. Looking at India in particular, the market is still very nascent. The development of global standards may be necessary to drive the growth of M2M in India as well as in the rest of the world. The India market, however, is huge, ranging from rural applications such as agriculture, to urban applications such as consumer electronics.\nM2M APPS: What are some of the key trends in the M2M space both globally and in India?\nRINITA SEN: The most prominent global trends in the M2M space are consolidation, standardization, cloud computing and service enablement services. Whenever a market is new, like M2M, a lot of consolidation must occur for it to get established. The consolidation arises from the complicated value chain of M2M that has an urgent need to be simplified. Consolidations are occurring in the form of M&As, collaborations, and funded partnerships. Another aspect where a number of global bodies are focusing is standardization. We see a significant number of M2M platform developers concentrating on interoperability. Further, MVNOs and MNOs are partnering with these developers to facilitate simpler and more manageable connections.\nCloud computing is a global IT trend that has affected M2M solutions as well. We’ve seen a number of M2M platform developers hosting their services on the cloud for cost benefits and simpler access. Service enablement services, mostly developed by MVNOs, are platforms that help reduce the \"time-to-market\" for solution developers and decrease total cost. In India, the market still at a nascent stage, but we are starting to see some initiatives from MNOs such as Reliance and Vodafone. India is a potentially huge market for M2M considering the amount of cell phone subscribers, including 3G. However, in these initial stages, the telecom giants might be interested in focusing on M2M in the consumer electronics market and might later move on to other areas such as agriculture, healthcare, and transportation, thereby creating an incremental awareness among end-users.\nM2M APPS: What are some of the biggest challenges that are faced by the M2M industry in India?\nRINITA SEN: The primary challenges in the M2M industry in India are not much different from the global challenges; these include a high degree of fragmentation and lack of standardization. Other challenges for the M2M market in India include a lack of end-user awareness for applications and a lower level of proliferation of broadband networks compared to other parts of the world. Furthermore, telecom service providers in India may need to adapt new business models in order to succeed in a low ARPU market such as M2M.\nM2M APPS: What kind of growth do you predict for M2M in the next five years?\nRINITA SEN: Globally, the growth of M2M has accelerated compared to what it was about five years ago. I believe the industry has now reached its inflection point, and its growth in the next five years is expected to be rapid. Furthermore, various application areas such as healthcare, consumer electronics, smart grids and intelligent transport systems are expected to drive the growth of M2M. With the advent of 4G, embedded sensors, intelligent gateways, and cloud computing, establishment of M2M solutions are expected to be simplified and accelerated.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://www.brookestonecapital.co.uk/post/the-rise-of-brics-and-what-it-means-to-the-western-world","date":"2024-04-16T01:21:02Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817036.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416000407-20240416030407-00775.warc.gz","language_score":0.959983766078949,"token_count":578,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2024-18","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__6058660","lang":"en","text":"The term \"BRICS\" is an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa - five of the fastest-growing emerging economies in the world. The term was first coined in 2001 by Jim O'Neill, a former Goldman Sachs economist, to describe these five countries' significant potential for economic growth and development.\nThe rise of the BRICS has been a game-changer in the global economy, challenging the hegemony of the traditional Western\npowers. Over the past decade, these countries have achieved impressive economic growth rates, driven by their large and growing populations, abundant natural resources, and investments in education, innovation, and infrastructure.\nChina, the most populous country in the world, has emerged as an economic powerhouse, with a GDP that now rivals that of the United States. India, with its young and educated workforce, has also experienced rapid growth and is on track to become the world's most populous country by 2027. Russia, despite its geopolitical challenges, is still one of the world's largest producers of oil and natural gas. Brazil, with its vast agricultural and mining resources, has become a major exporter of commodities. Finally, South Africa, with its rich mineral resources, is an important player in the African continent's economic growth story.\nThe rise of the BRICS has significant implications for the Western world. For decades, the United States and Europe have dominated the global economy and set the rules for international trade and finance. However, the growth of the BRICS has challenged this dominance, forcing the Western world to recognize that the economic balance of power is shifting.\nOne of the most significant implications of the BRICS' rise is that these countries are creating alternative economic and financial institutions that challenge the traditional Western-led institutions. For example, the BRICS countries have created the New Development Bank, which provides funding for infrastructure projects in developing countries. They have also established the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which has attracted significant investment from European countries, despite objections from the United States.\nThe rise of the BRICS has also led to increased competition in global markets, particularly in manufacturing, technology, a\nnd services. For example, Chinese companies like Huawei and Xiaomi are now major players in the global smartphone market, while Indian IT firms like Infosys and TCS are leading players in software and services.\nIn conclusion, the rise of the BRICS has been a game-changer in the global economy, challenging the traditional dominance of the Western world. These countries are creating alternative economic and financial institutions, challenging the traditional Western-led institutions. The rise of the BRICS has also led to increased competition in global markets, particularly in manufacturing, technology, and services. As the BRICS continue to grow and develop, they will undoubtedly shape the future of the global economy, and the Western world must adapt to this new reality.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://maskink.com/mardi-gras-outfits-guys.html","date":"2019-02-20T20:00:12Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247496080.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20190220190527-20190220212527-00480.warc.gz","language_score":0.8592221736907959,"token_count":791,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-09","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-09__0__201737976","lang":"en","text":"Mardi Gras Outfits Guys\nNEW ORLEANS AP Families camped out from early morning to catch beads and stuffed animals thrown from a ceremonial clearing of the streets at midnight Costumes are a huge part of the Mardi Gra.

This and the stature of its neighbour, Greenwich, as a World Heritage Centre has cast Deptford into unwarranted obscurity.\nDeptford has been a settlement at least since the Roman occupation. It lies on the Thames floodplain and has been directly in the path of countless great journeys to and from Europe via Dover. It has also seen the passing of an equal number of pilgrims going to Canterbury, from the poorest to Kings.\nWhen Henry VIII designated this small shipbuilding town his principle Royal Naval Dockyard it grew into one of the largest towns in England. Its population rose to over 10,000 people. This has to be seen in the context of Deptford not being part of London but lying in the much wilder Kent countryside. The City of London was miles distant, separated too from its neighbour Westminster. Thus Deptford became a very important town, the place where the great British naval fleet was built, victualled, repaired and from whence it set sail. The early colonies, for good or bad, started here.\nPeter the Great visited Deptford in 1698 in order to learn how to build a Russian Navy. He stayed at and by all accounts did much damage to Sayes Court which was close to the Dockyard. The playwright Christopher Marlowe was another known to enjoy roistering in Deptford but his final visit led to his murder and burial at St. Nicholas’ Church at Stowage in Deptford.\nSt. Paul’s in 1822\nThus in 1711 Deptford had become a large and rather independent community. Its people were literate, skilled workers somewhat inclined towards both religious and political dissent. Some 20 years before a new township had been established across the Atlantic on the banks of the Delaware; this too was called Deptford. The attractions of the New World must have been obvious to the educated populace of Deptford.\nThe new Tory Government, elected in 1710, decided to take action and established the Commission for building Fifty New Churches. These would be magnificent buildings designed as signs of power as much as piety. They would impress the people by being at least as good as the best the Roman Catholics were building hear and elsewhere in Europe and they would push the nonconformist churches into the shade!\nCommissioners were appointed, one was Nicholas Hawksmore who designed St. Alfege in Greenwich, Christchurch in Spitalfields, St. George in Bloomsbury and many others. Another was Thomas Archer who designed two other churches, St. John in Smith Square, Westminster – much used in the performance and recording of music – and Birmingham Cathedral.\nArcher started at Deptford almost immediately and brought to the design his understanding of Roman Baroque and his great flare for originality that is shown in almost every element. The fabric and most of the decoration was complete by 1720 but work continued for another 10 years until St. Paul’s was consecrated in 1730.\nDeptford waters became too shallow for larger vessels that were being built and the Dockyard moved downstream. Deptford remained the victualling yard for the Navy but the character of Deptford inevitably changed. New much smaller industries came and, in their turn, moved on or died. Today most major industry has departed from the this part of the Thames and Deptford has no big employers left. It retains the working wharf at Convoys where paper is imported for the print industry: Deptford is still known as Port Deptford throughout Scandinavia.\nThe history and a lot of the architectural evidence of that history remains as it does along the great stretch of the south riverside from the far edge of Southwark down to Chatham and beyond.\n[ Home ] [ Album ] [ News ] [ Sinfonia ] [ Location ] [ Restoration ] [ History ] [ Deptford ] [ Donations ] [ Links ]","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.edlab.si.edu/2012/01/classroom-20-presents-christine.html","date":"2013-05-22T11:54:16Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701638778/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105358-00045-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz","language_score":0.9771305322647095,"token_count":351,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2013-20","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2013-20__0__32738782","lang":"en","text":"Christine is an elementary school science teacher from Maryland participating in EdLab's Classroom 2.0 Project.

These teachers will implement mission-based learning plans, originally created during the Summer 2011 workshops, with their students and share their projects and results here on the EdLab website.\nLast Friday, the fourth grade was transported to an imaginary town along the Chesapeake Bay where the citizens were presented with a difficult decision, to build or not to build. The scenario: A large plot of land was given to the town by long time resident, Mrs. Lee. Bay Building Incorporated has proposed to build a boardwalk on her land. The boardwalk will include carnival rides, arcades and food stands. There will be a town meeting on January 24, 2012, at 9 am. Concerned citizens have been invited to present their support or concerns for the project at that time.\nEach student took on a role within the community of Bayville. The student citizen roles included marine scientists, restaurant owners, investors, teachers and parents. After three months of studying about the plants, animals, water quality, ecosystems, watersheds, economics and the human impacts on the bay during their science, social studies and technology classes, the students were ready to tackle this real world problem - should the citizens of Bayville build a boardwalk along the Bay or keep the Bay as is? Students formed into self-appointed small groups to begin working on digital presentations to be showcased later this month at a “town meeting.” The students decided as a class that their presentations should include facts that support their perspective, images and video.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://madh.top/camper-trailer-accessories/home-design-camper-trailer-accessories-camping-trailer-for-sale-pinellas-county-fl/","date":"2020-01-20T03:11:36Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250597230.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20200120023523-20200120051523-00226.warc.gz","language_score":0.8490908741950989,"token_count":461,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2020-05","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-05__0__119071426","lang":"en","text":". foot diesel pusher motor coach 50 K in park 0 (205 Dempsey palm harbor) pic Great RV Detailing at Reasonable Prices (727)Four92-One906 (Pinellas) Wheel Gooseneck Camper and Travel Trailer Transport (Florida) pic map 2017 Trailer - Reflection by Grand Design 1000 (Avon Park, Fl) map hide .

The Eastern European region long being thought of as a risky destination to outsource, has steadily become a serious outsourcing delivery destination due to the following reasons:\n- Traditionally, already since the communist times the educational systems in this region have been very IT & math-focused. Excellent education programs in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) have been paramount in Eastern European schools and universities for several decades. Children in these countries use to work on advanced mathematical concepts in school, in comparison to children from many western countries who used to learn it only in university. Therefore it does not come as a surprise that a wealth of engineers and people skilled with IT knowledge come from the region between Latvia in the North and Bulgaria in the South.\n- Governments and Institutions of any kind have realized the high amount of benefits a national specialization in IT is having on their economies. The governments of Poland, Ukraine and Romania strongly support the IT sector and embrace this concept. Substantial tax incentives, lower labour costs and rates of attrition to work contribute to the desire of clients to look for companies in these territories.\n- There are many obstacles people face when they try to set up a business producing “real goods”. On the contrary it is far easier to set up an IT-Company since you need nothing more than an office and enough talented people with laptops to start with. As go-to-market strategies become leaner & governments reduce bureaucratic founding procedures the obstacles in building a company become much lower.\nWell, we have stated the reasons why outsourcing to Eastern Europe should be more than just a side note, but actually really considered if there is a project you need assistance with. Now, it is time to give you a few examples for some IT hubs in this region and why you should opt for them.\nAlso known as the Silicon Valley of Eastern Europe, Cracow has become the place to be if you are looking for software development outsourcing. There are more benefits than in almost any other city in this region. Giving the fact, that IT professionals aside from their well-known expertise, have a very similar business-approach and work-style found in Western Europe. Poland is being ranked as the #3 country in the WORLD for the quality of software developers – that alone makes Cracow a paradise for outsourcing and nearshoring.\nThe IT hub of Romania is the epicenter of skilled software developers in this region. It is one of the fastest growing markets in the EU in terms of IT outsourcing services and provides companies various reasons to take a serious look at them as a potential partner: Highly skilled labour pools and a great price-quality ratio provide professionals with a multidisciplinary background.\nOne of the fastest-evolving developer communities can be found in the capital of Bulgaria. A lot of tech companies have already invested and found outsourcing partners in one of the IT startup-friendliest countries in Europe. The highly skilled and experienced professionals, as well as a friendly IT ecosystem help to rise the economic situation of that country.\nNevertheless, there are a lot more interesting countries that can supply companies with IT experts and a great track record of providing excellent work for their clients. The main reasons why companies look especially in Eastern Europe for an outsourcing provider are the low cultural as well as timezone differences in comparison to India for example. To put another fact into the mix: Statistics show that from the 12 best IT outsourcing countries more than 50% can be found in the Eastern part of Europe. Many companies have already done their homework and have found their outsourcing partner there.\nEastern Europe surprises us with a vast offer of skilled developers. Multiple tax and labour-advantages and an unbeatable price-quality ratio should give every company enough reason to consider this corner of the world as their Outsourcing-Destination.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://lorenzonwae579235.blogolize.com/","date":"2018-02-20T05:10:15Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891812880.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20180220050606-20180220070606-00623.warc.gz","language_score":0.9386597871780396,"token_count":1230,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2018-09","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-09__0__213955155","lang":"en","text":"Stanislaus County has the Modesto Metropolitan Statistical Region.

This 5 week, all male Trek will inspire and challenge young men through wilderness backpacking, local service projects, rock climbing, mountaineering, canyoneering, and exploration of cultural and scientific sites around the Four Corners. Prairie Trekkers spend a large part of their Trek traveling from site to site, bound only by the road and their destination. The remaining time will be spend at our Base Camp property located in the Zuni Mountains. Here Trekkers will work on their personal legacy projects that may include forest restoration projects, organic farming projects, or special carpentry additions to Base Camp.

Next, we would go to the cavernous fish hall, where the bounteous offerings of the sea never ceased to amaze me.\nTangier, the city where I was born and spent my childhood. A city on the crown of Africa, gazing into the distance, towards Europe. This is where mythical demigod Hercules fathered a child with the giantess Tingis, the later founder who named the city after his mother.\nAfrica and Europe are only 14 kilometers apart, severed by the sea that sprang under Hercules’ feet as he wrenched the continents apart in this very place. Mirroring the story of its mythical foundation, Tangier is a torn place full of hope and tragedy, the beautiful and the ugly, a city of limitless potential and major challenges. It is a place of eternal contrasts, stories, illusions and dreams. Wherever you go in this city, no matter the time, this duality is palpable.\nFor me, returning to Tangier means coming home. I couldn’t believe my luck when I got the chance to come to Tangier with Female Economy, the company I co-run. We set to work with ten theatermakers, visual artists and authors from Tangier, Casablanca and Rabat and ten residents from the Medina, the old part of the city, and in an intense two-week workshop, the creators and residents plunged into the intimacy of our adoption method. Listening to their life stories, we got a fascinating glimpse into the dreams, desires and problems of the people who live here.\nWe set up shop in the small theatre of Darna, one of our partner foundations, right across the fish market that I’ve known since my childhood. The street is one where you might find well-off ladies parking their brand-new SUVs amidst children sniffing glue and inebriated homeless people sleeping on the pavement, all set against the backdrop of the ancient Medina, with its beautiful winding streets. Perched atop lies the Kasbah, overlooking the beckoning sea and, for many, the promised continent beyond.\nThe rehearsal room emanated equal measures of openness and enthusiasm, opening the door for understanding and intimacy, collision, friction and beauty. There were stories of recognition, of One and the Other, lucid, lurid and light-hearted alike, all prompting and urging us to dive deeper and discover each other, even if what we found was confronting us with ourselves. You have to keep mirroring yourself to the Other. As an Arabic saying goes:\nاتبع الصديق الذي يبكيك وليس الصديق الذي يضحكك\nFor me, this experience was a dream come true. I thank with all my heart our wonderful group and my family at Female Economy who were willing to embark on this adventure with me. In that theatre on that street I had walked so often, my past, my present and that which I believe in so strongly and which marks what we do as a company converged; reaching out to the Other as an attitude to life. It all begins with a listening ear, as a curious guide to lands unknown.\nI felt young once more, that little girl holding her father’s hand in the fish hall, marvelling at the day’s catch and mighty tales spun by fishermen about torrents, tempests and tuna. In the warm embrace of my exceptional city, Tangier.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://psmacentre.com/sgindustry.php?sgid=1&type=history&status=1","date":"2017-03-27T18:15:04Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189495.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00347-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz","language_score":0.9308035373687744,"token_count":3440,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2017-13","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-13__0__46678621","lang":"en","text":"Details elaborated by the Greek historian Herodotus “the father\nof history” narrate that\ngreat king of Persia Darius commissioned a navel party to explore the\nRiver Indus to its mouth. Led by lonian Greek named Skylax the expedition\nproceeded east and hit the Kabul River and then headed south to Arabian\nsea, the outfall of River Indus. The mission was followed soon and in\n510 BC the Emperor Darius of what was then Persia invaded India where\nhe found \"the reed which gives “honey without bees\". The\nsecret of cane sugar, as with many other of man's discoveries, was kept\na closely guarded secret whilst the finished product was exported for\na rich profit.\nIt was the major expansion of the Arab peoples in the seventh century\nAD that led to a breaking of the secret. When they invaded Persia in 642\nAD they found sugar cane being grown and learnt how sugar was made. As\ntheir expansion continued they established sugar production in other\nlands that they conquered, including North Africa and Spain.\nDuring the Muslim Agricultural Revolution, Arab entrepreneurs adopted\nthe techniques of sugar production from India and then refined and transformed\nthem into a large-scale industry. Arabs set up the first large scale sugar\nmills, refineries, factories and plantations.\nSugar was only discovered by western Europeans as a result of the Crusades\nin the 11th Century AD. Crusaders returning home talked of this \"new\nspice\" and how pleasant it was. The first sugar was recorded in England\nin 1099. The subsequent centuries saw a major expansion of western European\ntrade with the East, including the importation of sugar. It is recorded,\nfor instance, that sugar was available in London at \"two shillings\na pound\" in 1319 AD. This equates to about US$100 per kilo at today's\nprices so it was very much a luxury.\nIn the 15th century AD, European sugar\nwas refined in Venice, confirmation that even then when quantities were\nsmall, it was difficult to transport sugar as a food grade product. In\nthe same century, Columbus sailed to the Americas, the \"New World\".\nIt is recorded that in 1493 he took sugar cane plants to grow in the Caribbean.\nThe climate there was so advantageous for the growth of the cane that\nan industry was quickly established.\nDutchman Dr. Willem Floor quotes in his book from the diaries and log\nbooks of the captains of Dutch Vessels belonging to the Dutch East India\nCompany sailed in the Thatta\n(Sindh) as far as the 1700s to sell spices and food products. They purchased\nleather, rice and textile etc. from Sindh. The diaries reveal that the\nmerchants could sell sugar sooner than other commodities at high profits\nbecause the locally produced unrefined sugar called Gur would ferments\nwhen stored from some time. according to their report sugarcane was grown\nat that time around the Mancher Lake in Sindh.\nThe 1390s saw the development of a better press, which doubled the juice\nobtained from the cane. This permitted economic expansion of sugar plantations\nto Andalucia and to the Algarve. The 1420s saw sugar production extended\nto the Canary Islands, Madeira and the Azores.\nThe Portuguese took sugar to Brazil. Hans Staden, published in 1555,\nwrites that by 1540 Santa Catarina Island had 800 sugar mills and that\nthe north coast of Brazil, Demarara and Suriname had another 2,000. Approximately\n3,000 small mills built before 1550 in the New World created an unprecedented\ndemand for cast iron gears, levers, axles and other implements. Specialist\ntrades in mold-making and iron-casting developed in Europe due to the\nexpansion of sugar production. Sugar mills construction developed technological\nskills needed for a nascent industrial revolution in the early 17th century.\nAfter 1625 the Dutch carried sugarcane from South America to the Caribbean\nislands, where it became grown from Barbados to the Virgin Islands. The\nyears 1625 to 1750 saw sugar become worth its weight in gold. With the\nEuropean colonization of the Americas, the Caribbean became the world's\nlargest source of sugar. These islands could supply sugarcane using slave\nlabour and produce sugar at prices vastly lower than those of cane sugar\nimported from the East.\nDuring the eighteenth century, sugar became enormously popular and the\nsugar market went through a series of booms. As Europeans established\nsugar plantations on the larger Caribbean islands, prices fell, especially\nin Britain. By the eighteenth century\nall levels of society had become common consumers of the former luxury\nproduct. At first most sugar in Britain went into tea, but later confectionery\nand chocolates became extremely popular. Suppliers commonly sold sugar\nin solid cones and consumers required a sugar nip, a pliers-like tool,\nto break off pieces.\nBeginning in the late\n18th century, the production of sugar became increasingly mechanized.\nThe steam engine first powered a sugar mill in Jamaica in 1768, and soon\nafter, steam replaced direct firing as the source of process heat. During\nthe same century, Europeans began experimenting with sugar production\nfrom other crops. Andreas Marggraf identified sucrose in beet root and\nhis student Franz Achard built a sugar beet processing factory in Silesia.\nHowever the beet-sugar industry really took off during the Napoleonic\nWars, when France and the continent\nwere cut off from Caribbean sugar. Today 30% of the world's sugar is produced\nfrom beets. The following countries mainly produce sugar from beet, though\nsome of these countries marked ** produce sugar from sugarcane as well.\nSource:- International Sugar Organization Oct 2009,\nBy 1750 there were 120 sugar refineries operating in Britain. Their combined\noutput was only 30,000 tons per annum. At this stage sugar was still a\nluxury and vast profits were made to the extent that sugar was called\n\"white gold\". Governments recognized the vast profits to be\nmade from sugar and taxed it highly. In Britain for instance, sugar tax\nin 1781 totalled £326,000, a figure that had grown by 1815 to £3,000,000.\nThis situation was to stay until 1874 when the British government, under\nPrime Minister Gladstone, abolished the tax and brought sugar prices within\nthe means of the ordinary citizen.\n| Trade and Economics\nHistorically one of the most widely-traded commodities in the world,\nsugar accounts for around 2% of the global dry cargo market. International\nsugar prices show great volatility, ranging from around 3 to over 60 cents\nper pound in the past 50 years. Of the world's 180-odd countries, around\n100 produce sugar from beet or cane, a few more refine raw sugar to produce\nwhite sugar, and all countries consume sugar. Consumption of sugar ranges\nfrom around 3 kilograms per person per annum in Ethiopia to around 40\nkg/person/yr in Belgium. Consumption per capita rises with income per\ncapita until it reaches a plateau of around 35 kg per person per year\nin middle income countries.\nMany countries subsidize sugar production heavily. The European Union,\nthe United States, Japan and many developing countries subsidize domestic\nproduction and maintain high tariffs on imports. Sugar prices in these\ncountries have often exceeded prices on the international market by up\nto three times; today, with world market sugar futures prices currently\nstrong, such prices typically exceed world prices by two times.\n|Sugar Industry in Pakistan\nThough production and use of sugar\nis recorded in 520 BC and long before, the growth of the modern form of\nwhite sugar industry in the Indian Sub-continent could be traced to early\n‘30s. The number of sugar mills rose from 29 in 1931 to 139 in 1939.\nWorld War II established the need and supply of the sugar as an important\ncommodity. While the European industrial base was being diverted to the\nwar machinery, Asia had the chance to improve its sugar industry and supplies\nto war torn countries of Europe.\nAt the time of partition in 1947 only seven sugar mills, existed in\nthe territories of Pakistan, 5 in East Pakistan now known as Bangladesh\nand only 2 in West Pakistan now known as Pakistan. These two sugar mills\nnamely Rahwali Sugar Mills and Frontier Sugar Mills established in 1936\nand 1938 had a capacity of 5000 tonnes each of producing white sugar.\nDuring 1954-56 three more sugar mills were established with a capacity\nof 10000-15000 tonnes. By 1955-56, the sugar production capacity in Pakistan\nwas around 45,000 tonnes.\nWith an abrupt change in the economic activities and urbanization, the\ndemand for white sugar was on the increase. This was attributed to the\nmanufacture of soft drinks, confectioneries and bakery products etc. The\nnumber of sugar mills was also on the increase to meet the demand.\nThe system of supply of sugarcane to the mills has also revolutionized\nduring these years from camel back and bullock carts to locomotives on\nnarrow gage railway lines, tractor trolleys and now to large size trucks.\nNetwork of access roads financed and maintained with the help of road\nCess Funds on sugarcane being collected from sugarcane suppliers and milers,\nmodernized the supply line to sugar mills, few having reached now 12,000\ntonnes crushing capacity per day, whereas sugarcane production is lacking\nbehind due to low yield forcing the capacity utilization down to 50% in\nBy 1980 there were 35 sugar mills in the country capable of providing\n1.0 million tonnes. Ten more sugar mills were installed by 1990 with the\nproduction capacity having reached 2.0 million tonnes. Population and\nper capita increase always kept the demand high and number of sugar mills\nincreased to 86 in 2009.\n|Brief Features of the Sugar Industry\nPakistan is the sixth largest sugar producer in the world. Its 86 sugar\nmills has the capacity of producing 7.0 million tonnes of sugar annually,\nindeed with full capacity utilization\nthat would need supply of 80 million tonnes of sugarcane, the best being\n53 million tonnes in 2007-08. The surplus installed capacity is causing\nconcern particularly in low supply season. The total outlay at current\ncost is US$ 1.50 billion. Present annual sugar consumption of the country\nhas crossed 4 million tonnes valued at US$1.8 billion.\nBeing the second biggest agro-based industry, it is a source of revenue\nto the Government of Pakistan by about Rs. 22.0 billion, to the growers\nby Rs. 110-135 billion and to the vendors, other contractors, transporters\nand suppliers by about Rs. 20.0 billion, beside providing direct and indirect\nemployment to 1.20 million people particularly in the rural areas of the\nIn Pakistan’s under developed rural areas, establishment of a sugar\nmills is seen as a sign of prosperity to the area, as with a sugar-mill\ncomes a new communication system, roads, colonies, schools, hospitals,\nelectricity and above all fresh opportunities of trade and employment\nfor every cadre of society.\nThus the sugar industry is both economically and of strategic importance\nto the country. Its viability has been hampered by the governments’\nimprudent policies made without prior consultation of the industry. This\nparticularly applies to its sugarcane price-fixing policy.\n|Sugarcane Payment System\nThe Government of Pakistan supports cane production by setting a market\nminimum support price announced before or after planting. The support\nprice is set below the local demand price. As a result mills renegotiate\nthe procurement price. The crop price increases up to 50% whenever the\ncrop cycle is at its low ebb.\nThe sugarcane support price has increased from Rs. 40/- per 40 kg in\n2004-05 to Rs. 80/- per 40 KG within the recent 4 years causing the sugar\nproduction price increase simultaneously.\n2009-10 is yet to see another 25% increase in the support price of sugarcane\nin an effort of price incentive to the farmers for increase in plantation\nwhich will directly affect the existing production cost of sugar proportionately.\nThroughout the entire crushing season the price issue remains a volatile\nissue between the growers and the millers. The growers refuse to sell\nthe cane at the official price and millers in some areas of Punjab and\nSindh delay the start of crushing season. The milling sector ends up bearing\nthe bulk of the risk when the circumstances change. While the support\nprice varies significantly when there is shortfall during a particular\nharvest, there is no similar level of adjustment when the harvest is good\nand cane is in abundant supply. Further, this situation is exacerbated\nby untimely sugar imports contributing to the destabilization of domestic\nprice, always under pressure due to fluctuating harvests.\nContinued efforts are underway led by the Pakistan Sugar Mills Association\nto persuade the Government of Pakistan to consider adoption of a more\nreliable sugarcane payment system linking the price of cane with the sugar\ncontent as being used in Australia and other countries of the world, based\non cane quality, a fair deal to growers and millers as well.\nAt present in Pakistan sugarcane is\nthe only crop that gets paid by weight and not by quality. The system\ndoes not provide for any incentive to the grower to improve his crop particularly\ntowards the most crucial aspect, the sugar content.\nUnless such mechanism is not adopted in Pakistan further expansion in\nthe production will remain in jeopardy while all potentials exist to improve\nyield and recovery and utilize the already built production capacity.\nThe present system of increasing the sugarcane support price only encourages\nthe farmer plantation expansion at the cost of other competitive crops\nthat proves only temporary phase.\nThe following sugar production data for the last decade depicts the rise\nand fall of the domestic sugar production clearly indicting fall back\nduring certain harvests while the consumption remains on continuous rise.\nEvery bad harvest provides reason for further increase in the sugarcane\nprice as a temporary measure, but a permanent feature.\nTechnicians usually measure the purity (sucrose content) of sugar\nby polarimetry — the measurement of the rotation of plane-polarized\nlight by a solution of sugar.

The Saudi Arabia of today is not defined by Wahabism, but by fancy buildings and resorts. Qatar is not defined by its support of the Muslim Brotherhood—but by the World Cup and stadium revenue. The Abrahamic accords demonstrated clearly how, increasingly, states put business and economic national security interests ahead of ideology. Gulf states finished last year with a surplus. Amidst all the talk and virtue signaling from the West about bringing democracy to the Middle East, the Middle East has brought in money and formed alliances with our adversaries.\nThe remaining ideologues in the Middle East are the region's biggest losers today. Whether it's Iran and its allies or ISIS—those still clinging to regressive religious dictatorship above all else are missing out on key opportunities for the advancement of their nations. Turkey does not discriminate in terms of who it conducts business with; it will meet with NATO on one day and Russia the next, coming out of each conversation having struck business deals with both. In places like Iran, Afghanistan, or Lebanon, the insistence on promoting ideology above progress all but ensures that they will continue to be failed states as more reasonable nations advance in the global economy. Including women in the educational and professional sectors is a simple way to grow an economy and strengthen a society, something Afghanistan and Iran are once again attempting to curtail to their detriment. Iran’s economy is on a downward spiral as it tries to crack down on protests by disaffected youth who feel they have nothing to lose. Afghanistan is regressing further, pushing its population closer to poverty and starvation as a result. Lebanon crumbled. Iraq is a banana Republic going through an identity crisis despite the facade being put forth by the current government. After the abysmal failure of the Arab Spring, the appeal of ideologues has diminished. Now, the region’s leaders tend to take their foreign policy, economic, and national security interests into their own hands and look less to the West for aid or guidance, partly due to the subsequent failures of US involvement in the Middle East post-9/11.\nWhile it might appear positive for nations to have self-determination, in many cases, that vacuum left empty by the disinterested West is being filled by rising powers like Russia and China, who similarly put transactional economic interests above ideological principles or ethical concerns. Whatever a country’s ideological, religious, or political persuasion, everyone understands the language of money and power.\nThe United States and other Western nations should not underestimate how profoundly the Middle East’s rise or fall will impact our economic systems and way of life. Europe is often directly affected by refugee crises, and as the global economy trends away from oil, Gulf states will look to expand their revenue streams into other endeavors. Those conversations are almost certainly already underway, and the United States is certainly not leading them if we are participating meaningfully at all. The political and socioeconomic experiment of the Middle East is reaching critical mass as Western nations are increasingly less interested in meddling in its affairs, and we must take into account the developments that are inevitably coming down the pike. Suppose the Islamic Republic of Iran obtains nuclear weapons. In that case, the consequences will be far-reaching and will have implications that stretch all the way to Russia’s war against Ukraine and the global supply chain writ large.\nWhether in a flawed democratic country like Tunisia or a theocratic one like Iran, youth across the Middle East are not looking for a grand or a holy ideological purpose—they are looking for a job. The solution to propelling the region toward more prosperity and stability does not lie in more international aid or workshops about gender identity. It depends upon investments in functioning economic systems and people who simply want to work toward a better future for themselves and their families.\nThe International Correspondent is a reader-supported publication.

It is known for its beach, for its dolphins and for its offshore diving and deep-sea fishing. From other points in Mozambique, Ponta do Ouro can now be reached by car as a new tar road from the border to Ponta was completed in 2018. Certain parts of Ponta and surrounding areas can however only be accessed with a 4×4 vehicle as there are no tarred roads.\nThe currency is the Metical, but the South African Rand and the US Dollar are also accepted. Shopping is very limited in Ponta. There is a petrol station, bank, pharmacy, hardware stores, bottle stores and other small shops in town. Fresh bread can be purchased at the local market. Basic food items like vegetables, fruits can be purchased at this market. No luxurious items are available anywhere in Ponta do Ouro. Holiday accommodation is readily available. There many holiday resorts in Ponta on the beachfront and surrounding areas which are very popular with tourists due to reasonable pricing and excellent location on the beachfront. It is commonly referred to as ‘Ponta’ by visiting South Africans.\nPonta do Ouro is about 15 km away from the South African border and about 130 km South of Maputo. There is a supsension bridge from Maputo to Katembe (Ponte de Maputo a Katembe). The bridge connects the Mozambican capital Maputo on the northern bank with Katembe on the southern bank. Construction work began in 2014 and was completed in 2018.\nIn many ways the construction of the bridge is considered to be the most important work in southern Mozambique since the country’s independence. The bridge stands at 60 metres above sea level with two lanes in both directions, running three kilometres long with a main span of 680 metres. It is the largest suspension bridge in Africa. The road from Katembe to Ponta do Oura was also completed in 2018 and it takes only 90 minutes to drive from Maputo Bay to Ponta do Ouro. This has increased tourism to Ponta do Ouro substantially.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.urbaneatdrink.com/creekside-room","date":"2018-09-26T03:24:49Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267163146.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20180926022052-20180926042452-00119.warc.gz","language_score":0.9397767782211304,"token_count":399,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2018-39","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-39__0__78593344","lang":"en","text":"URBAN Creekside is the exclusive indoor, private dining space for URBAN eat.drink.

However, instead of a typical Christmas decoration, a light installation was developed that has a distinct Swiss theme with a twist - a specific yet subtle inclusion of a South African context. Inspiration was drawn from the \"Alpaufzug\", a spectacular traditional migration of cows through the Alps. The cow procession is a significant event in the Swiss culture as over 350 cows are lead through the mountains over a 70-day period. Traditional Swiss art making reference the Alpaufzug through paper cut-out, symmetrical imagery. Drawing on this tradition these conventional forms of iconic Swiss representation was used to create light boxes that fit into the existing architecture of the Swiss Embassy home in Pretoria. The inclusion of South African and specifically Pretoria fauna and flora into this typical form of Swiss representation invite the viewer to carefully examine the artworks and almost \"discover\" the anomalies. A row of Swiss cows may be accompanied by a Nguni cow and a Jacaranda may find itself among a forest of Swiss pines.\nDespite the light-hearted rendition of the work, one becomes acutely aware of the conceptual underpinnings of imagery that depict migration and its engagement in contemporary discourse. The literal search for and move to greener pastures is a global phenomenon that is not only evident with Syrian refugees, but visible in our own country. The very notion of \"home\" is a lucid one, where patterns of movement are evident throughout human history.\n2014 - Pebble Mosaic, Prince Albert, South Africa\nTwo weeks were spent in Prince Albert in the Western Cape to create this large pebble mosaic for the Prince Albert Art Festival. A specific site was identified that both connects and separates two distinct communities within the area, around which the concept and design of the project was developed. All the materials and labour for the project were locally sourced and a series of conversations with varied groups and individuals in the town quickly followed.\nA synchronistic recurrence of the tortoise as a theme led to the design and the actual production of the artwork included teams of people working on different parts of the project. While not everyone worked on all of the days, a team comprised of just under 80 people used three truck loads of sand, stones too numerous to count and 30 bags of cement to create this 56 square meters mosaic. The design included a tortoise shell on the one side of an existing pathway, with the edges of the tortoise mimicking the profile of mountains surrounding Prince Albert. The inside of the tortoise references the township, known informally as die Lap (\"the cloth\"). A few conversations suggested that the name is derived from a quilt (lappies kombers), which refers to an image of the place covered in flowers pre-development. Some have even referred to the entire place of Prince Albert as Die Lap. On the other side of the pathway the mosaic illustrates a huge flower (Botterblom) and the leaf of an aloe, known locally as a Kan-nie-dood (\"can not die\"). All these elements (tortoise and plants) are specific to the area.\nThe message conveyed through the work is that although life in Prince Albert may seem idyllic (as a holiday destination, tourist attraction and place to retire for many), the reality that confronts many speaks of a real need for survival and a resilience, as illustrated by the depicted tortoise (Bergskilpad) that eats the Botterblom and through the Kan-nie-dood. There are significant social challenges in this town, including high levels of excessive alcohol abuse and related alcohol fetal syndrome. A small element in the design alludes to an observation specific to the site of the mosaic. From very early in the morning and throughout the day, people walk up this tiny hill towards the bottle store with empty crates and return with full crates of beer and several boxes of wine. This phenomenon continues throughout the weekend. A few small tortoises, known as pad lopers (\"path walkers\"), placed adjacent to the desire line, illustrates this observation. Some of these pad lopers have a black square stone on their back, referencing a crate of beer; a heavy burden.\n2013 - Beaded portrait for the funeral of former president Nelson Mandela\nIt was a great honour to create the official portrait for Nelson Mandela’s funeral in Qunu in December 2013. The work is made from stringed seeds, it spans two meters squared and was featured on global media.\n2013 - Forgiveness\nThe decision to create a public artwork on forgiveness on Monday the 16th December 2013 was made prior to Madiba’s passing. The continuous messages of reconciliation and forgiveness re-iterated immediately after his passing reaffirmed the need for this temporary public art intervention for me. Early on Monday the 16th December 2013, Seejarim sifted lime powder through a stencil to create a text based artwork around the Magistrates Court in Johannesburg as well as outside Nelson Mandela’s house in Houghton.\nThe public artwork is in honour of Reconciliation Day and speaks to our specific history and about our need to forgive – both as a nation and as individuals. According to recent research, South Africa as a nation rates amongst the lowest on the happiness index, and I believe that it is largely due to our inability to forgive. Crime and other injustices on various levels are perpetuated by our personal resentments and as a South African contemporary artist, I would like the opportunity to make these concerns visible through a temporary and relevant public art intervention.\nThe artwork is posed as a question which forces us as viewers of the artwork to question our own personal positions of grudges and inability to forgive and thus alludes to the repercussions thereof. The text spells out the following words: “What would happen if I truly learned to forgive?”\nThe text is made from lime powder, some of which was obtained from Robben Island on another project in 2009. The artwork was temporary with the text lasting for a few days.\nAs a nation South Africa previously observed this day as the Day of the Vow, commemorating the 470 Voortrekker victory over the 10 000 Zulu army in the Battle of the Blood River in 1838. Later we acknowledged this day in 1961 with the formation of Umkhonto we Sizwe.

The Averto team asked us to design UI/UX mockups and wireframes of their new, cross-platform ecosystem, which will include a new user reporting process and new features.\nThis project was completed by a team of three members, including myself. The main objectives for this project were provided to us by our stakeholders. We were given access to internal documents and a confluence page for reference. Their beta version (shown on the right) was the focus of our project. Here were the goals based on priority:\n• User Report Submission Form\n• Improving Report Details\n• User Report Submission Form\n(adding to existing alerts)\n• Map Markers/Icons\n• UI Visual Revamp\nWe didn't really have any competitors so we went ahead and performed a comparative analysis, highlighting features we thought would give value to Averto (if not already existing on the beta version). All the features highlighted in grey were implemented in our designs, combining the Activity Page with Safety Report amongst others.\nCOMPARATIVE ANALYSIS - UI\nKnowing how to categorize the various alert types already utilized could have gone a number ways, but we decided to perform 2 rounds of card sorting to determine this. It made the most sense performing this activity (users in Libya) with the many alerts that have been previously reported on the app.\nUSER INTERVIEW INSIGHTS\n“The Libya situation has many dangerous things going on, so if there is any disturbed events around I use it to check people’s warnings so I can stay safe.”\n— INTERVIEW 1\nUSER JOURNEY MAP\nIn this journey map, our user would like to visit her family out of town, she wants to be aware of threats along the way, in order to make it safely to her destination.

Tuna, ‘espada’ (black scabbard fish), ‘bacalhau’ (codfish), ‘gaiado’ (a regional fish treated like codfish) and ‘potas’ (similar to a huge squid) are featuring in many main courses. Traditionally, fresh tuna is first marinated in olive oil, garlic, salt and oregano before it is fried, and it is usually served with cooked cornmeal. This kind of cornmeal preparation is very often also preferred as side dish to ‘espada’ fried with onion. A ‘must eat’ is the ‘espada’ with banana, which is a very successful combination of a soft white fish with a strong tropical flavor. But do also look out for other tasty ‘espada’ preparations as there are many more!\nWant to try a traditional dish from Madeira?

Some historians say that Phoenician merchants introduced the liquid gold to Catalonia; others assert that the Ancient Greeks first carried the golden elixir in their beautiful amphoras to our Mediterranean coast. Regardless, the Lord of Arbeca brought the arbequina olive tree, which produces one of the very best olive oils in the world, back to Catalonia from Palestine in the 18th century.\nThe fruity quality of arbequina extra virgin olive oil\nThe 2.500 inhabitants of the small town of Arbeca are totally devoted to the olive orchards that shape the peaceful landscape. Traditionally, they have planted almond trees in the olive orchards, which gives their heirloom arbequina oil a unique slight almond-like aroma. It is perfect for cooking fish, but for cooking any food actually, and delicious when you eat it raw in salads or on a slice of bread as we do. Les Garrigues and Siurana are the two Catalan designations of origin producing a superior extra virgin olive oil mainly from the arbequina olive.\nThe Siurana designation of origin produces the sweetest arbequina oil, particularly along the coastland. This fruity oil is optimal for seasoning salads, picadas and sauces, cooking meats, the emblematic bread, tomato and oil, soups, or vegetable dishes. The third protected oil is the Terra Alta, further south, to the Ebre (Ebro) River. It grows mainly the empeltre olive, which makes delicately transparent sweet oils that evoke the fragrance of nuts. It is the less known of the three.\nWherever you live, you can taste the best olive oil too\nThe delicacy and purity of those designations of origin are slowly entering the gourmet international scene: the United States, Australia, and even Japan, for sushi seasoning. Italy’s is no longer the only extra virgin olive oil on offer in American gourmet and specialty shops.\nOlive tree for olive oil\nEating bread and oil used to be synomym of poverty, particularly if you didn’t top it with ham or cheese ham. Now it means that you know what’s good for you.

The city has been chosen as one of the host cities for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2010 and will be staging games at the 40,000 Royal Bafekong Stadium previously used for the 1995 Rugby World Cup.\nJust half an hour’s drive from here will find you at the glamorous Sun City complex and its enormous range of leisure options. The complex providing an excellent combination of golf, game and gambling, as well as world class hotels, is the perfect choice for any holiday in South Africa. Close by the Pilanesberg Game Reserve provides travellers an excellent chance of spotting the “Big Five”.\nTo appreciate the history of this area then you should visit Mafikeng and in particular its museum, which has exhibits relating to the Siege of Mafeking, the Barolong people and San (Bushmen) which are interesting. In addition, the pretty towns of Lichtenburg, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom are of particular interest.\nAt the Pilanesberg National Park, you will discover the crater of a long extinct volcano with an amazing alkaline complex created from activity over 1290 million years ago. This is one of the largest volcanic complexes in the world and its rare rock structure and type make it a unique geological feature. This area has survived ages of erosion and can be seen high above the surrounding bushveld plains. It is possible to see the early existence of man in the numerous Stone and Iron Age sites throughout the park.\nOn the parks undulating hills and stretching open plains, you can get a glimpse of the ‘Big Five’, an abundance of animals and over 360 bird species. As well as the ‘Big Five’ you may also spot the nocturnal brown hyena, cheetah, hippo, crocodile and even sable.\nThis boost to All Resistances might look small compared to those provided by other items, but it is still very, very decent and definitely one of the many plus points of Crown of Ages.\n+30% Faster Hit Recovery\nWhen your character gets him, there are a few frames of animation. If your opponent hits you for 1/12 of your hit points or more, you also run the risk of being stunned. Faster Hit Recovery helps your character recover from being hit by their enemies; the more you have, the faster you can recover from blows and dish out your own damage.\nThe addition of 1 or 2 sockets in Crown of Ages is wonderful for many players, because it allows for customization of the helm according to the players. If, for example, they decide that they need a bigger boost to All Resistances, they can sock an UM in the helm for a 15% boost to All Resistances. Or if it’s Physical Resistance that you’re after and want more, you can always add a Ber Rune in the helm for an extra 8% of Physical Resistance on top of the Helm’s 10-15%.\nWith this mod on Crown of Ages, that means you’ll never need to bring it to the blacksmith to have it repaired, because it never reduces in Durability and thus never break down.\nThe Crown of Ages is a very popular helm among Diablo 2 Players due to all its mods being great and useful and despite its very high Strength requirement. It is also highly customizable due to the 1-2 sockets on it, a mod valued by experienced players as they can equip the helm with a variety of Runes, Jewels or Gems to suit their own favorite playing style or Diablo 2 build. A 2 socket Crown of Ages stuffed with 2 BER Runes for an additional +16% Physical Resistance bonus (on top of the helm’s 10-15% Physical Resistance) is a wonderful option for those who are trying to go for a build that focuses on high levels of Physical Resistance.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://erithmuseum.org.uk/screen1024/ode.htm","date":"2022-01-22T14:09:55Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320303864.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20220122134127-20220122164127-00643.warc.gz","language_score":0.9242441058158875,"token_count":1820,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2022-05","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-05__0__235053038","lang":"en","text":"It was always a shabby, funny town, when I was small:\nIt’s only claim to fame, I suppose, was the River,\nwhich ebbed and flowed in muddy brown and grey regularity,\nproviding an ever changing picture of dreams for the eyes of the young and old,\nor the idle, to dwell upon.\nIt was always a strange, little, sprawling town,\nwith nothing at all of importance to merit a place in the shape of things to come.\nHere it nestled, like a favourite, comfortable, patchwork shawl, the fringes of which tapered towards the creeks of Slades Green and Crayford;\ndwelling a moment at Bexley and Welling;\ncrossing to Bedonwell and Bostal.\nBeneath the folds haphazardly tumbled Northumberland Heath, with upper and lower Belvedere here, and Barnehurst there;\nin between glowing a patch or two of changing green, as the woods and parks filtered through the embroidery of stitches\nthat held it together with fields and ditches;\neventually sweeping around and down\npast abbey wood marshes\nand back to the river.\nIt was always a friendly, squat, little town,\nwith industry forming a warming collar\naround it’s neck;

The earliest origins of the family name Risdon are thought to be in Gloucestershire, in one or more of three villages in the Windrush valley about 25km to the east of Cheltenham; they are now known collectively as The Rissingtons, and they lie in a roughly north-south orientation, starting 4km south of Stow-on-the-Wold with Wyck, then Little, then Great Rissington.\nAt the time of the Domesday survey of England (1086), 20 years after the original conquest of the country by William the Bastard, the manor of Risendune (Little Rissington1) in Salmonsbury2 Hundred3, previously held by Siward4 was held by Robert de Oilgi5 (d’Oilly6/Doyley7). Risendune is probably a simple descriptive name for the location: Ransford (note 7) says that “[Rissington] is probably derived from the Anglo-Saxon words Hrisen and dune meaning brushwood on a hill”; local variants of the name were Risendone (Great Rissington) and Risedune (Wyck/Wick Rissington), as shown in the Domesday survey (note 1).\nThe two most significant questions one has to ask in any research of this nature is: who was the first to use the name, and when would that have been? The use of family names probably became the custom in England after the Norman conquest (this was only the latest of several prior conquests!); most likely for mundane, administrative reasons, where organisation (aka control) of a populace was considered necessary, and the common herd would have emulated the property-owners, either willingly (possibly to curry favour) or grudgingly, and consequently, the use of the French attributive ‘de’ is very common.\nThe earliest use of the modern form of the name appears to have been given by the Antiquary, Tristram Risdon (of whom more elsewhere); under Parkham8, in his Survey of the County of Devon:\nBablegh [sic; page 243] is the lands of the Risdons (that descended from Ralph Risdon [my emphasis], lord of the manor of Risdon, in Gloucestershire, in king Richard the first’s reign) which Robert de Oilgi held in William the conqueror’s reign, and hath been the dwelling of that name ever since Robert Risdon lived there in the third year of king Edward the first.\nbut this is debatable, because he appears to be the only authority so to do. Richard I reigned from 1189-1199, so a minimum of 123 years after the Norman conquest, or possibly 5 generations. AB cites a charter witnessed by, among others, Master Walter de Risendone, in 1220 at Osney Abbey, Oxford9; Brother Philip de Risendune was proctor of Osney Abbey, and a canon there, in 1251; and Richard de Risendune was a parishioner of St. Michael’s outside the walls of Oxford, in 1258, so it would appear that the attributive style of family name persisted for nearly 200 years after the conquest. The third year of Edward I would be 1274, so it is not at all implausible that Tristram Risdon is correct in his latter assertion, which could answer the second significant question above, to some degree of accuracy; there is still significant room for doubt, however: this is explored on the Bableigh|Parkham page.\nThere is, then, some confusion over the date of the first Risdon to live in Devon, as well as the location (note 8), but there is no reason why the property, of which the first Risdon was the tenant (and, in the process, ‘lord of the manor’), should not have been one of several, possessed by the same landowning Norman family. PWR says10 “Several sources show that Gloucestershire aristocracy held extensive lands in Devon … Perhaps a vacancy arose at Parkham because the manor holder died in the crusade.”11, but 1274 is nearly 80 years after the end of that crusade, which means that Robert Risdon was very possibly the first documented scion of this family to live in Devon, but probably not the first actual person bearing that family name. The other location mentioned in most of the sources, Okehampton, is not strictly accurate and, just to complicate matters, there are now 2 places named Risdon in the area; one is where AB says “Robert Risdon was residing … in 1350 [so possibly not the same Robert Risdon referred to by Tristram Risdon], a small place which is slightly north of Okehampton. The Farm is called Risdon Mill.” — it is 5km north of Okehampton, and just to confuse matters even further, there is a Risdon Farm12 just off the modern A3072, but it is not Risdon Mill (see below); about a kilometer down the road is another one, but it is now derelict13, so there was certainly an earlier farm bearing this name, but it is very unlikely to have been the original one, going by the mixture of materials used (and the photograph only shows a very small area, so gauging the size of the site is impossible): families can experience many changes of circumstances over a period of six hundred years, with associated expansions or contractions of property holdings; in between these two are the sprawling modern industrial premises now called Risdon Mill14; the other Risdon Farm is the location for a dog breeding business15, and it is 9km to the west.\nThe final question for this document is: did the adoption of the family name Risdon mean that the connection with the ancestral territory was broken, leaving no previous generations who might have used the earlier name convention behind? Unfortunately, none of the sources quoted is clear on this, but they all use the terms “Family moved from”, or “settled at”, so it would appear that this might be the case. The shortening of the name could have been purposive, as the acknowledgment of ‘a new beginning’; or, it could have been the result of the gradual degradation of the longer, attributive name by at least one branch of the family, which might have required a few generations to take effect. It seems very possible that from the time of the first relocation from Gloucestershire to Devon, there were either two separate Risdon families living at the two separate locations (or maybe even three), or up to three separate members of the same family, who produced offspring of their own, who moved to other locations in their areas and produced their own offspring. As mentioned above, the first documented Risdon in Devon is Robert Risdon of Parkham, but for want of any supporting details and for the purposes of the definition of ‘dynasty’, it is the Thomas Risdon who was living at Parkham in 1393, the first-named in the male line of the family trees produced from the Heralds’ Visitations (the lineage charts produced by J. L. Vivian, 1830-1896, are available online here), who must be considered the progenitor of the family. Again, it is only a lack of evidence to the contrary that brings me to this conclusion, but five generations of Risdons: Thomas, Geoffrey, Richard, John and Giles; lived at Parkham, but they could have started spreading out right from the very beginning with Thomas — the Heralds’ family trees only show the first son & male heir down to Giles, so there is always the possibility that a dispersal could have begun as early as the end of the 14th century. Nothing is known about all but the last named of these, Giles, who was the person to whom the Arms were awarded in 1564; perhaps, according to PWR, at the instigation of his son & heir Thomas, who will be the first of the Risdons worthy of note to be described in the Notable Risdons document.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://fr.peak-experience-japan.com/blog/514","date":"2019-09-18T05:42:27Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514573184.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20190918044831-20190918070831-00504.warc.gz","language_score":0.7391205430030823,"token_count":1956,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-39","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-39__0__153112459","lang":"en","text":"Triennale de Setouchi : une exposition au service de la culture locale\nA journey in Hyogo prefecture: where Japanese charms meet\nHyogo is the biggest prefecture of the Kinki region.

Therefore, there are some good restaurants offering a variety of cooking from the entire world as well as magnificent architectural buildings; influenced by the Japanese and the Western culture, called Ijinkan. Made up by up and down streets, Kobe is a beautiful city: we highly recommend it, especially to those who haven't visited the Hyogo prefecture yet.

The gradually sloping sandy beach is safe and has the blue flag. It is clean and close. You can rent beds, lie under a parasol and enjoy a cool drink on one of the many terraces. Shopping is no hassle in the nearby 24 hour supermarket. It sells everything from fresh fish to fruit and vegetables. Outside the centre there is a large Carrefour supermarket well known in all of Europe. But it is a holiday, so you would want to go out to eat. Estepona offers lots of cosy restaurants at the small and picturesque harbour. It is in walking distance from your apartment, but thanks to the way it is situated, there is no hassle from sound or party people.\nDo you love playing golf? Estepona is the place for you. Only two kilometers away you find the beautiful 18 holes golf track the town is rich. The surroundings are known as the Golf Mile and offer many great tracks. (Rio Real, Santa Clara, Marballa Golf and Cabopino Golf)\nIf you love culture there is enough to discover. Only 500 meters from your home you’ll find the old town of Estepona. You can find banks and ATM’s, lovely little shops and restaurants. For a daytrip the close town of Puerto Banus or the famous and mundane Marbella are just a short drive away. The shopaholics will find everything their heart desires in the luxury shopping mall La Canada. A little more eastward you’ll find the exotic Bikini Beach club.\nCosta del Sol (Spanish for Solar Coast) is 300 kilometres of Spanish coast at the Mediterranean sea, the south coast of Andalusia between Gibraltar and Almeira. The Costa spreads through the provinces of Malaga, Cádiz and Granada.\nMálaga is the most important city on the coast. It forms the division between the touristic and popular part with Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Marbella, Mijas,Manilva and Estepona. On the other side you’ll find Torre del Mar, Nerja, Almuñecar, Salobreña and Motril\nMálaga is de belangrijkste stad aan de kust en vormt ook de scheiding tussen het toeristisch populaire westelijk deel met de badplaatsen Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Marbella, Mijas, Manilva en Estepona en het oostelijk deel met de plaatsen Torre del Mar, Nerja, Almuñecar, Salobreña en Motril\nEstepona enjoys a privileged setting right by the Sea, in the heart of the Costa del Sol. It is a town popular with holiday makers not only because of its location but also because of the numerous attractions and points of interest that can be found there. Due to its weather and mild climate, travellers are able to visit this magnificent holiday destination throughout the year.

Despite its quiet and less hectic ambience, the town is still offering travellers everything they need from hotels to restaurants, bars and many leisure facilities.\nWhen strolling along Estepona’s narrow and cobbled streets you will find numerous little cafés which invite you to sit down and try some of the delicious tapas that are served there. The traditional Spanish way of live will surround you on your trips through the town. Friendly bodegas and small shops can be found nearly everywhere and are waiting to be discovered.\nThe town of Estepona once was and actually still is an old fishing village full of history. Those who do not mind getting up early in the morning should therefore definitely visit the fish market that is held at about 6am in the port. Getting up early is essential as at 7am nearly everything is already over. As the town has one of the most important fish markets west of Malaga, visiting the early spectacle will well be worth it. Travellers who are more interested in the history of the town can go for a walk and discover the several old buildings that can be found in the centre. But there is much more that makes Estepona to an unforgettable experience!\nProbably the best way of getting to know the town is on foot. Therefore, should you have come with a car; you can park it in the garage by the “Paseo Marítimo” – the promenade – to start your tour from the Calle Real. Shortly after you have started strolling along the pedestrian road you will reach the Calle Terraza where a charming café can be found. This is one of the most popular places in the town not only because of its location but also because of the pieces of history that can be found inside the café. Old pictures as well as new ones decorate the walls and allow guests to picture how the town looked like decades ago.\nEstepona is full of sights and highlights. The Plaza de las Fores, the town hall, the market, the Casa de la Cultura, the Clock Tower and the Castle of San Luis are only some of them.

If you don’t want to take my word for it, check out the comments from journalists, players, and others who experienced the weekend for themselves.\nKevin Hart @KevinHart4real : “I can’t forget to shout out the city of Houston for being a great host city…..this was definitely one of the better All star weekends.”\nLebron James @KingJames : “Houston should be very, very proud of their city for the way they set this whole All-Star weekend up.”\nNe-Yo @NeYoCompound : “Now leaving Houston headed for Orlando. Had a great time!! Much love to the flyness of H-Town and all it’s people. I’ll Holla!! S/O NBA!”\nWolf Blitzer @wolfblitzer : “Thanks Houston. You did great job hosting\n#NBAAllStar weekend. I really liked almost every event within walking distance of hotels.”\nThese were just a few names that had a blast here in Houston! Now I don’t think I am the only one that was surprised Houston hosted the All-Star game this year. It was just a few years ago (2006) when Houston hosted the exact same event.\nIn a recent Forbes article by Alicia Jessop, the NBA’s executive vice president of events, Ski Austin described why Houston is such a great host city.\n“This year, Houston’s [bid] was the best. One of the things that is really advantageous in Houston, is its geography. You have the arena next to three major hotels and one of them connects to the convention center. Not that this alone was a deciding factor, but it was a great thing that the city could put together and create the community for All-Star and have everything happening in one place.”\nHouston also had a few commemorative reasons when they sent a bid to host.\n“Some of the reasons why teams bid on All-Star is that they have new buildings, an anniversary in the city or they want to commemorate some other event,” Austin explained. For Houston, there were several events for the Houston Rockets to commemorate this season. First, this year marks the 10th season that the Rockets have played in the Toyota Center. Additionally, the Toyota Center recently unveiled a 25′ x 58′ Panasonic scoreboard that features the largest combined viewing area of any indoor center-hung scoreboard in the United States. Austin notes that while not the most important asset to Houston’s winning bid, that the Panasonic scoreboard nonetheless factored into the NBA’s decision. “You can be anywhere in the arena, watch live action and see a replay in the best HD I’ve seen anywhere. It was a great asset to have,” Austin said.\nThe NBA All-Star game revolves around the history of the NBA. The George R. Brown Convention Center was transformed into basketball heaven. They called this popular spot “Jam Session” in which former and current NBA players stopped by to sign autographs and interact with fans. Jam Session was a great event for families, and people visiting Houston for the All-Star game.\nAlong with honoring the NBA, the city which hosts the All-Star game financially benefits in a huge way. The city of Houston expected roughly 50,000 unique visitors, and according to the The Greater Houston Convention & Visitors Bureau All-Star weekend would have an economic impact of $60 million, and an overall economic impact of slightly below $100 million.\nFor local Houstonians, this event was a preview of what downtown Houston could be in a few years. As of now the fourth largest city in the country has a relatively sleepy downtown atmosphere. With The Galleria so close shopping tends to drift towards the 610 area. Downtown Houston is starting to grow its shopping district, and food options, giving this large and spread out city a chance to revitalize life into the nucleus.\nAccording to Nielsen, the 2013 NBA All-Star game drew 8 million total viewers to TNT on Sunday night, an increase of 13% over last year’s game. The Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area had the highest mark of any market with a 12.6 HH rating. That was followed by San Antonio (9.9); Memphis (9.7); Los Angeles (9.4) and Oklahoma City (8.9). Houston, the host city, was right behind with a 8.3 rating.\nAccording to Bluefin, TNT’s coverage of the NBA All-Star Game generated 3.4 million comments across social platforms to become the most-discussed telecast of the week. (Source)\nIt was great seeing Houston in the spotlight. The Toyota Center looked fantastic; James Harden, Jeremy Lin, and Chandler Parsons all did well representing the hometown Houston Rockets. Harden who has had a tremendous past few months, that included winning a gold medal, to being the new face of a franchise in Houston tweeted this:\n@JHarden13 “I had an amazing time playing in my first\n#NBAAllStar Game in front of my hometown fans. #Blessed #StateFarmSaturday”","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://amrouter.com/lan-vs-wan/","date":"2023-12-02T02:32:37Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100309.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20231202010506-20231202040506-00128.warc.gz","language_score":0.9037355780601501,"token_count":2616,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-50","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__7338625","lang":"en","text":"In today’s interconnected world, where data flows at the speed of light, networks play a fundamental role in our daily lives.

Since land west of what is now 101st Street was part of the Hudson's Bay Company Reserve, the core of the incipient community lay to the east, along what was known as High Street. Although commercial development west of 101st Street began in 1891, the business core of the newly incorporated Town of Edmonton would remain at the east end of Jasper Avenue well into the 20th century.\nAmong the businesses to operate along what would eventually become known as the Jasper East Block was the photographic studio of Charles W. Mathers, a branch studio of the Calgary firm of Bourne & May. From a small studio two lots east of the Jasper House Hotel, Mathers developed some of the most significant documentary photographic images of what is now Alberta, and Edmonton in particular, around the turn of the 20th century. In 1903, Mathers hired a newly arrived immigrant from Newcastle, England named Ernest Brown to be his assistant. With a growing passion for photography, and an apparent belief that prospects for business in Edmonton would continue to expand, Brown was able to purchase the studio from Mathers, along with the impressive collection of glass plate negatives, and the property itself.\nThough not as highly regarded as Mathers as a photographer, Brown was able to do even more business that his predecessor in the rapidly growing City and district. Portrait photography became a specialty, as many of the nouveau riche wanted photos of themselves and their families undertaken professionally. Brown also continued to add to the vast collection of documentary images begun by Mathers. By 1911, business was so good that Brown decided to construct a new building on the same lot as the old studio. Given its location on prime commercial land, it only made sense that Brown would construct a large building which could accommodate other businesses in addition to a photographic studio, office and storage area. Thus, with James Henderson as architect and the Peter Rule Construction Company as contractors, a three-storey, orange brick office building was erected during 1911-12 in two stages, first the eastern portion, then the western. It was intended to accommodate various offices and even apartments during these years of frantic commercial expansion.\nAmong the first tenants of the Brown Block were a clothier, a printer and a stationery store on the first floor and the office of Peter Rule on the second. The main tenant, of course, was the Ernest Brown Studio, and on the upper façade of the building were the words \"Everything Photographic.\" The studio proper and supply store were on the ground floor, while Brown's enlargement department and picture framing shop were in the basement.\nFor the first few years, Brown did a roaring business as Edmonton's leading photographer. In March 1914, his assets were listed as $265,000. During this time, the images of many significant events and people were captured through his shutters, along with countless scenes of a routine nature, but invaluable to posterity. Communities, people and events happening in the district around Edmonton were also the subject of his attention. However, with the recession that accompanied World War I, business declined. Feeling the financial pinch personally, Brown decided to incorporate Ernest Brown Ltd. and transfer his photographic assets to the Company in 1923 for $55,000. The following year, Dominion Life Assurance acquired the building and land for $27,500. By that time, the photographic equipment, supplies, and, most importantly, the documentary negatives had been acquired by Brown's associate, Gladys Reeves.\nBrown himself moved to Vegreville, opened a smaller photographic studio, and began to collect historical artifacts. Two years later, he was back in Edmonton, working for Gladys Reeves in her photographic studio and operating a Pioneers Days Museum on 97th Street. The value of his (and Mathers') turn of the century documentary images had now grown, and Brown was able to add to his income by selling the rights to use certain of the images to magazines and large businesses for display purposes. In 1947, the provincial government purchased the 50,000-glass plate collection, as well as Brown's photographic equipment and artifacts for $50,000. In later years, they would come to constitute the most valued photographic collection in the Provincial Archives.\nFollowing Brown's departure from Edmonton in 1924, the Brown Block itself was taken over by\nCredit Foncier, and under this stewardship, it became known as the Brighton Block. The building then went through several owners before being acquired by the Toma family in 1950. Various businesses operated from within it over the years, including the American Dairy Lunch and the Georgia Steam Baths. In later years, much of the building has sat vacant.\nThe historical significance of the Brighton Block lies in its provision of structural evidence of the commercial core of the east end of downtown Edmonton during the early part of the twentieth century. Though not dominated by large office blocks, the district remained a lively commercial center. One of the most familiar businesses there at the time was the photographic studio of Ernest Brown, who was then Edmonton's leading photographer. To a large extent, the building is significant in its direct connection to Brown, and as the first repository for the Ernest Brown photographic collection, many of the images of which had been taken earlier by Charles Mathers.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://sgsyukon.ca/settlement-lands/","date":"2019-12-05T19:32:13Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540482038.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20191205190939-20191205214939-00009.warc.gz","language_score":0.9229816198348999,"token_count":356,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-51","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-51__0__74335493","lang":"en","text":"The UFA sets the foundation for the Final and Self Government Agreements.\nThe UFA states SGYFN are to receive 8.5% of the Yukon land mass or 41,595 square kilometers as SGYFN Settlement Lands\nSGYFN Settlement Lands:\n- Identified in Chapter 5 of each SGYFNs Final Agreement\n- Is owned and managed by SGYFNs\n- Divided into three main categories:\n- Category A lands designation means the SGYFN owns both surface and sub-surface rights to the Settlement Lands.

The study concludes that there is indeed a Southeast Region with persistent poverty over three census periods–and it is the poorest of all regions of the country. On a variety of socio demographic fronts–education, health, employment, and housing–the 7.5 million residents of the 242 counties in this region bear a tremendous burden from the continuous cycle of poverty. Further conclusions indicate that the economic peril facing the Southeast Region results from, and in turn contributes to, the widespread and persistent nature of the region’s poverty. It not only affects those living in the region but also drains the economic health of our entire nation.\nLeveraging Limited Dollars\nThis report distills findings from more than 400 pages of research amassed over three years as part of NCRP’s Grantmaking for Community Impact Project (GCIP). The project documented $26.6 billion in benefits for taxpayers and communities in 13 states, and found that every dollar grant makers and other donors invested in policy and civic engagement provided a return of $115 in community benefit.\nPoverty: 2010 and 2011, American Community Survey Briefs\nThis report, created by the US Census Bureau, uses income and household relationship data from the 2010 and 2011 American Community Surveys (ACS), to compare poverty rates for the nation, states, and large metropolitan statistical areas. The report also summarizes the distribution of people by income-to-poverty ratios for states and the District of Columbia.\nHunger Initiative Maps Food Insecurity, Food Budget Shortfall\nA new report from Feeding America, the nationwide network of 200 food banks, maps food insecurity by county and state based on factors including income level, race and ethnicity, and unemployment rates. The Map the Meal Gap study also estimates each county's annual \"food budget shortfall,\" representing the amount of additional money food insecure individuals would need to cover food expenses for their households.\nHunger & Poverty Statistics\nFeeding America has gathered together key statistics relevant to the fight against hunger. Specifically, this data shows that although related, food insecurity and poverty are not the same. Unemployment rather than poverty is a stronger predictor of food insecurity.\nFoundation Strategies for Investing in Food Security\nThis paper maps the spectrum of activities that, taken together, endeavor to create well nourished, food secure communities. Until recently, many of these activities have taken place in relative isolation of one another; and funders have tended to line up their support more narrowly behind the activity that seemed to most directly address their missions. This is no longer. Within the broad field of food security, programmatic and policy goals of disparate nonprofit organizations and public subsidy programs are converging with increasing frequency. Organizations that have been associated with one activity are venturing into others with the hope of bringing about more comprehensive and lasting change.As this work becomes more integrated, funders are challenged to navigate beyond their traditional priorities and determine where else, along a continuum of effort,they may wish to extend their investments.\nReading, Writing, and Hungry:\nThe consequences of food insecurity on children, and on our nation’s economic success\nEarly childhood health experts from the Children’s Sentinel Nutrition Assessment Program and the Food Research and Action Center find, in a paper for the Partnership for America’s Economic Success, that food insecurity among young children carries significant economic costs for individuals and families, and therefore economic problems for society as a whole. The report from the Food Research and Action Committee (FRAC) addresses the range of economic consequences associated with persistently high rates of household food insecurity in the United States. It focuses specifically on the growing body of research demonstrating the harmful effects of food insecurity for very young children. The report identifies short- and long-term economic costs of those effects, with emphasis on the costs arising from food insecurity‘s impacts on children.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://themellenmotel.com/","date":"2021-06-20T07:58:12Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487658814.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20210620054240-20210620084240-00005.warc.gz","language_score":0.9474418759346008,"token_count":328,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2021-25","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-25__0__188232597","lang":"en","text":"Located in Mellen, WI, The Mellen Motel, LLC is the only motel within 17 miles of our area.

No big motorways close by and mountains meeting the blue mediterranean sea. It was a beautiful area, sandy beaches and lovely people.\nIt took nine months to find the retreat which was pretty much a ruin. The finca was there but I’ve since had to rebuild it as it had no proper foundations. It was completely off-grid, with no solar power or electricity and not even a generator. At first we’d just go up there and work on the land in the day and spend time there. Eventually we moved in but still only had candles and an open fire going in the small domed room in the evenings. In the winter I’d climb into the fireplace wearing two pairs of jeans, a poncho and woolly hat. We had a line of buckets catching water every time it rained, doors that didn’t close, a two-metre-long snake lived in the pipe outside the back door, and we later found out that the floors upstairs were barely attached to the walls. The grounds were a dust bowl in the hot dry sun and a muddy bog in the rain with a small swimming pool and a few olive trees which I eventually moved to the garden below and created the wishing stone garden.\nOur first generator arrived just before our New Years Eve party on the 31st December 2000. We had about 200 people and there was a German man called Jochen fire-eating in the big sitting room and I watched in horror as flames licked across the ceiling whilst my friend Anna was busy in front of him mopping up the petrol with a bucket of water. We had a loud sound system, graffiti drawn by me and the children on the walls, live music, dogs, people dancing everywhere…\nIt was wild and romantic – and a hard place to live.\nThere are so many exciting and wonderful stories to tell of life at the finca. There was the birth of my third child, Izaak, my separation from their father and how I continued raising three children aged 2, 4 and 5 alone, over-seeing the building work, implementing my designs and learning from my plentiful mistakes. Different builders came and went, some cowboys, some skilled. I was the “jefe” which is the Spanish word for boss, however it sounded as if they were calling me a heifer! I was a lone woman in a world of men.\nI was constantly planting and designing, making sure that the buildings followed the natural form of the land. I would go and sit on the opposite hill and do little drawings to work from. All of the buildings were built in the old style with extra-thick walls which works best in the heat of the desert, keeping the interiors cooler in the heat of the days and warmer in the winters. I think that the retreat feels ageless as it was built in that old way. I was inspired by the Alhambra of course and spent lots of time in Granada, strolling through the Albacin, admiring the Moorish architecture.\nFoundations were drawn using yeso (plaster) on the earth and then dug out, initially by hand. One day a Spanish builder had dug out my yeso marked foundation over the afternoon and when I went back it was at the wrong angle so I had to ask him to re-dig it. He was furious and I realised I had to be sure of what I was doing.\nI was no longer at art college, making mistakes and rubbing them out.\nThe architecture around the pool and the main finca is inspired by Islamic architecture as the domes were already in place thanks to the artist Manolo Coranado who had once owned and loved the finca. I love the symmetry of Islamic architecture and also wanted to acknowledge the history of the area as the Moors conquered that part of Spain from North Africa in 711.\nThe staff cottage I built first for us to live in whilst working on the rest of the buildings and rooms. I slept in the upstairs bedroom and Love Birds would tap on my window for food in the mornings. The staff cottage was my typical Spanish cortijo, and I used only Spanish building materials and tiles.\nI had help from a Moroccan friend, with the Taj Mahita at the end of the pool and the main doors and tiles. We took a family trip to Morocco to source the materials. The TIkki bar is inspired by the Jamaican beach bars and there is a Flame Tree at the bottom of the garden too which is a national tree of Jamaica with its’ bright red flames for flowers. I fell in love with those trees in Jamaica and wanted a little of Jamaica at the finca as a part of my children’s heritage as well as somewhere I love.\nThe dojo is based on a Japanese design with a reclaimed sprung wooden floor and actually the only one for miles around, but the raised roof inside gives it a Spanish touch. The Cave Rooms underneath the dojo were literally dug into the hill which was an incredible feat of structural engineering but I love the way they worked out, warm in the winter and cool in the summer.\nBut it was all about the gardens and trees for me. Both jobs of designing the gardens and buildings ran side by side. I had to plant and bring in the bigger trees to the heart and then slowly keep planting and landscaping working outwards until no cars could get close to the house because of the trees, plants and hardscaping. This took time as we had to get building trucks and machinery onto the land but it was a big job and has taken over 19 years to date. I’m still planting and designing now. It’s always a work in progress But it was really all about the trees.\n“Move to the desert and you plant trees,\nmove to the forest and you cut them down.”\nSince living at La Finca Paradiso I’ve planted a few thousand trees over 19 years. We have 33 acres and (including staff) sleep 33 people. Everything was built according to my knowledge of numerology, sacred geometry and ways of the land and spirits. The water garden and other gardens were shown to me in visions and dreams and I’ve always worked closely with my gardener and dear friend Marco from Ecuador. I feel that I’ve been guided by an invisible hand in creating the finca from the very beginning.\nI bought the tower and land around and behind us about five years ago in 2013. It was land I’d previously fought to protect from farmers and failed. Now I have a chance to re-wild it. I’ve planted the land below the finca and around the tower according to an article I read in Resurgence & Ecologist. Mixed planting in a certain layout so the different species of trees help each other. I changed it a little and have put the tall Eucalyptus at either end. They are amazing trees with incredible energetic properties. They protect and purify.\nThe trees are the guardians of the retreat. I have also planted almost a thousand mixed fruit trees since acquiring the extra land. I didn’t realise I was planting such a huge fruit farm, and in the desert too. It was a huge worry at one point when I realised that I’d planted so many fruit trees and only had poor quality agricultural water to water them with. Then luckily my prayers were answered and some friends introduced me to a German man who came and installed a special water purification system using oxygen and different bacteria to clean the water, from black or grey to white water. Now all of our water is naturally cleansed to a very high level and our trees are thriving. We feed our guests and voluntary workers and staff and their families with the food we grow, as well as supply various restaurants and sell on markets.\nAs an eco retreat I have had to battle with people to keep us off grid and that has been another whole story in itself but we are finally getting there. We now have solar and wind power and occasionally use our back-up generator.\nLa Finca Paradiso was always a hub where people could meet, heal and create. There’s been a constant ebb and flow of international artists, musicians, poets, travellers and spiritual seekers over the years. Now it has evolved even more to a healing space where people can have a taste of and experience Heaven on Earth, a sanctuary. A temple for Gaia. A portal. An energy centre. A place of sound and vibration, art and healing. It is a healing and creative retreat. A place of love to send healing to the planet. I hope we can evolve more and support and link in with other like-minded communities worldwide as well as educate people about sustainable energy and the environment.\nSustainable energy is the key to an harmonious future.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://www.rubyclaireboutique.com/blog/americas-most-underrated-beach-destin-florida-/","date":"2019-08-20T14:13:57Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027315544.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20190820133527-20190820155527-00504.warc.gz","language_score":0.956479549407959,"token_count":542,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2019-35","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-35__0__124781193","lang":"en","text":"I spent the last week in the prettiest hidden gem ever!!

not a very long one, to be exact. ever since the beginning of 2017, i’ve been hinting my mom to schedule trips to beaches, preferably the beaches at oh i don’t know maybe BALI??? and so as you can see at the end of the year, my plan to incite my mother worked.\ni traveled to bali on the 20th of december. it was a particularly sunny wednesday, despite the heavy rains that happened days before. the delay i experienced at the airport that day was the utmost unpleasant. my flight was scheduled to be at 3 p.m, but because the plane hasn’t arrived yet, it was delayed until 4.45 p.m. during the wait, i read a book my mom bought me that afternoon called the paper menagerie and other stories by ken liu (we’ll talk about this book on another post ok). i was so hooked on the book that i didn’t realize time passing by. the clock strikes the determined hour before i knew it, but strangely there were no announcements about boarding the plane. not long after that, i heard the loudspeaker stated that the plane was running late and therefore the airline had to delay the flight for another hour. right. more waiting. great.\nby the time the plane was taking-off, i remember checking my phone and it was already 6 p.m. it took us about two hours to get to denpasar, and because of timezones, bali is one hour ahead of jakarta. as we arrive at the airport, i was really sleepy and was just ready to go to sleep under the warm covers of the hotel i was going to stay at. but alas, my brothers were hungry so we decided to get take-outs from burger king after we found the car we were renting. we stopped at a small local mart to buy snacks, instant noodle, sunblock, and other necessities we would need. my eldest and younger brother bought cheap sunglasses because they don’t have one. i took my time to take in the scenery of the night streets in bali. it kind of looks the same as jakarta, but has a different vibe that i am yet to understand.\nwe stayed at a place called tijili in seminyak. the streets in seminyak reminded me of an area called kemang in south jakarta. the two places resemble each other in a certain way. the closed small shops, dim lights, and night clubs all lined up together next to a small one-way road. it has its own atmosphere.\ni woke up the next morning and head to the cafe right next to the lobby to enjoy my breakfast. okay first of all THEY SERVE THE BEST OMELETTE EVER omg i am in love. what i did was basically putting everything i could on my plate but in an equally small amount so i could taste them all. my go-to drink was pineapple juice because it tastes SO GOOD wow.\nafter breakfast, my family and i readied ourselves because we were going to visit my aunt and her family at ubud raya resort and hotel. the trip was soooo long. it took us about two hours to get there by car. when we finally get there, i was already hungry again. thankfully my good uncle had bought us chicken and beef packaged rice (nasi bungkus for y’all indonesians) for lunch. those were also great 10/10 would definitely eat again. on our way back to seminyak, i was in a really bad mood because i wanted to go to the beach but the others thought that it was getting late and my mom suggested we could go to kuta beachwalk instead, and so we went there. the place was relatively big, but i could find bigger malls in jakarta.\ni spent my second morning in bali with fantastic breakfast at the hotel’s cafe again. the menu was different than the day before, which is nice, but i still ordered omelette because they’re really tasty. we planned to move to nusa dua that day, so we checked out on the afternoon and prepared for the road. while we were still in seminyak, i asked my mother if we could go to a certain clothing brand store because i wanted to buy a shirt from the place. according to google, the clothing brand has a small shop in seminyak; and so we head there without wasting any more time. i bought an iconic black shirt the clothing brand has which costed so much money. cries.\nwe stayed at tijili’s branch in nusa dua. the positive side of the place is that they have their own beach on the back side. i was so hyped the moment i knew there was a beach on plain sight. picture this, a beach i could go to whenever i want. the thought was very tantalizing for me at that time because my sole purpose was to come see and feel the ocean and the sand. after dropping my luggage, i head straight to the beach with one of my brother. y’all, i’m not exaggerating, i ran from my room with sandals because i was so excited only to be let down because the beach has small waves. sigh. i came to have a good time but i honestly feel so attacked. i mean, it was relaxing on its own way but this wasn’t the one i’ve been expecting. i imagined being splashed on the thighs for being too far away from the shore, the smell of salt water on my hair, and the strong winds. well, so much for my first beach after 5 years.\nthat evening, we went to the bali collection in nusa dua, some kind of outdoor mall. it was for eye-wash. you know, look-look. there was nothing much there but shops and restaurants. my mom ate at bebek bengil, while the rest of us ate at warung nasi ayam bu oki. you can see here which of us have higher taste.\nthe breakfast at tijili nusa dua is as good as tijili seminyak. but this time, tijili nusa dua has its restaurant right next to the private beach. so while i eat fried rice with sausages and baked wedge potatoes, i could hear the splashing of water and feel the morning wind. it has a wonderful atmosphere. 10/10.\ni went to the hotel’s swimming pool with two of my brothers after eating breakfast. i didn’t want to get soaked in water so i just sat on the edge of the pool. the sun was very unkind that afternoon, fortunately i had my sunglasses on and skin protected with sunblock.\nwe ate lunch at a restaurant called gula bali in kuta. the place was great, with traditional garden setting and fine balinese delicacies. we spent a relatively long amount of time there until we decided to go to agung bali, a well-known souvenir store. we bought stuffs that we might use as a memento, a reminder of what it felt like being in bali. we hurried because we planned on catching the sunset at petitenget beach that evening. the beach was extraordinary. honestly. this beach is the one i was expecting. the wind was strong, the current was dragging me further into the sea, and there were a lot of stray dogs there, which made me happier.\nafter our trip to a REAL beach, we went to get some refreshments at a french bakery-cafe called monsieur spoon. the place has a really captivating interior; fancy chairs, curtains, and mirrors adorn the inside of the cafe. it truly feels like you’re in a cafe in france. i ordered a cup of hot chocolate and nothing else because they ran out of croissants. sigh. sad.\ni spent that sunday morning going to church because my mom wanted me to accompany her so i did. but before that of course i ate breakfast first. the date was december the 24th, or the day before christmas. well i didn’t went to christmas eve service because the church turns out to be far from the place we were staying so we spent the night eating dinner at kuta beachwalk. before going to kuta beachwalk, we went to discovery mall to see the beach and just to look-look (lihat-lihat, hehe) again.\nafter dinner, i practically begged my mom to go to a souvenir shop because i haven’t bought anything for my friends and for me as a totem, and we were leaving bali the next day, so finally at 9.30pm we decided to go to krisna bali, a 24-hours souvenir shop. the place were still crowded during that hour. i hurried myself to buy a couple shorts, a t-shirt, some boxes of pie susu, and a few keychains. the rest of my family also bought stuffs from the place, but mostly just boxes of pie susu. we spent a lot of money on that.\nmy last day on bali was relatively short. like usual, i ate breakfast on the cafe at about 8 in the morning, and i already packed my bags and all of the luggage. at about 9 we arrived at the airport and bought coffee and some refreshments because we nEED OUR ADRENALINE. i forgot our departure time, but i’m sure it was about 11am. i slept during the whole flight because your girl here is tired as heck. the landing was okay, i mean nothing bad happened, and we touchdown-ed at jakarta still intact on one piece.\nthe trip i had to bali was definitely great, although i didn’t really achieve the part of visiting beaches 24/7. during my trip, it rained a lot so i don’t actually have the chance to freely go anywhere i want. whilst in bali, there are a couple things you should look out for, such as to not ever step on the ceremonial offerings in the street. there are a lot of them, and please try to avoid walking on them as a mark of respect the deeply spiritual people in bali.\ni kind of regret not going to traditional ceremonies or going to temples and such, because i think both of those things are what makes bali the way it is. i didn’t go to a lot amazing places that i should, and i hope that i could go there on my next journey. let me know if there are places i should stop by at bali. see you.","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://shopcoupdetat.com/products/albert-frey-book","date":"2020-09-29T19:43:26Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402088830.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929190110-20200929220110-00769.warc.gz","language_score":0.8654085397720337,"token_count":108,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2020-40","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-40__0__10659210","lang":"en","text":"ALBERT FREY BOOK\nRegular price $35.00\nMeet desert modernist Albert Frey, the Zurich-born architect who brought notes of Bauhaus, De Stijl, and Le Corbusier to the West Coast.

The blue tiles show our history, talk about the city and its landmarks, they are narrative by nature. Inspired by the stories in the tiles we developed more than seventy geometric icons that represented the city and its people. The icons were designed based on a grid that could connect them with each other, creating a continuous network that evokes a tile panel. These icons became a visual code to represent the city. A code that can live by itself, viewing each symbol individually, or as a network of symbols that show the never-ending complexity of our city. The icons could also be more illustrative, telling stories, showing the landscape, translating our passions.”","domain":"geography"} {"url":"https://nasreadycloud.com/casino-resorts-in-the-us-to-escape-the-harsh-winter/","date":"2023-02-02T11:56:50Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500017.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20230202101933-20230202131933-00801.warc.gz","language_score":0.9198926687240601,"token_count":2114,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2023-06","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-06__0__242110097","lang":"en","text":"The cold icy impact that envelops Emoji Riches an enormous area of the United States throughout the colder time of year can be ruthless.

The tree-covered island is one of about 360 small islands in Mahone Bay, and rises to a maximum of 35 feet (11 m) above sea level.\nThe Money Pit\nOak Island is noted as the location of the so-called Money Pit, a site of numerous excavations to recover treasure believed by many to be buried there. The island is privately owned and advance permission is required for any visit.\nMid-19th century newspaper stories recount that, in 1795, young Donald Daniel McGinnis discovered a circular depression on the south eastern end of the island with an adjacent tree which had a tackle block on one of its overhanging branches. McGinnis, with the help of friends John Smith and Anthony Vaughan, excavated the depression and discovered a layer of flagstones a few feet below. On the pit walls there were visible markings from a pick. As they dug down they discovered layers of logs at about every ten feet (3 m). They abandoned the excavation at 30 feet (10 m).\nAbout eight years later, according to the original nineteenth century article, another company examined what was to become known as the Money Pit. The Onslow Company sailed 300 nautical miles from central Nova Scotia near Truro to Oak Island with the goal of recovering what they believed to be secret treasure. They continued the excavation down to approximately 90 feet (27.43 m), and found layers of logs or \"marks\" about every ten feet (3 m) and layers of charcoal, putty and coconut fibre at 40, 50 and 60 feet (12, 15 and 18 m).\nAccording to one of the earliest written accounts, a newspaper article called \"The Oak Island Diggings\" from the Liverpool Transcript (Oct 1862), at 80 or 90 feet (27 m) they recovered a large stone bearing an inscription of symbols. The pit subsequently flooded up to the 33-foot (10 m) level. Bailing did not reduce the water level and the excavation was abandoned.\nInvestors formed The Truro Company in 1849, which re-excavated the shaft back down to the 86 foot (26 m) level, where it flooded again. They then drilled into the ground below the bottom of the shaft. According to the nineteenth century account, the drill or \"pod auger\" passed through a spruce platform at 98 feet (30 m), a 12-inch head space, 22 inches (560 mm) of what was described as \"metal in pieces\", 8 inches (200 mm) of oak, another 22 inches (560 mm) of metal, 4 inches (100 mm) of oak, another spruce layer, and finally into clay for 7 feet without striking anything else.\nOne account states they recovered three small gold links of a chain from mud stuck to the drill. They attempted to prevent the pit from flooding by damming Smith's Cove, and later by excavating a shaft into what was believed to be a flood tunnel from the sea to block it and prevent the pit from filling with water.\nThe original 18th Century story of the pit's discovery along with the mid-19th century newspaper accounts are based on unverified folklore and may be entirely false. The earliest published description of the Money Pit is a news article in the Liverpool Transcript newspaper in October 1862. This included an oral account of the early years of excavation attempts as told by at least one digger. No supporting material or evidence has surfaced ever since, and the story has been impossible to verify. Several researchers have noted that artifacts like the inscribed stone and gold chain links could have been placed in the pit during expensive excavation operations for the purpose of attracting more investors.\nThe Money Pit was first mentioned in print by the Liverpool Transcript in October, 1856. More accounts followed in the Liverpool Transcript, the Novascotian newspaper and A History Of Lunenburg County *, but this last account was based on the earlier Liverpool Transcript articles and does not represent an independent source.\nThe next excavation attempt was made in 1861 by a new company called the Oak Island Association and apparently led to the collapse of the bottom of the shaft into a suspected void or booby trap underneath. The first fatality during excavations occurred when the boiler of a pumping engine burst. The company gave up when their funds were exhausted in 1864.\nFurther excavations were made in 1866, 1893, 1909, 1931,1935, 1936, and 1959, none of which were successful. Franklin Roosevelt (later President of the United States) was part of the Old Gold Salvage group of 1909 and kept up with news and developments for most of his life. About six people have been killed in accidents during various excavations.\nIn 1928, a New York newspaper printed a feature story about the strange history of the island. Gilbert Hedden, operator of a steel fabricating concern, saw the article and was fascinated by the engineering problems in recovering the putative treasure. Hedden collected books and articles on the island, and made six trips there. Wholly convinced that there was buried treasure on Oak Island, Mr. Hedden even ventured to England to converse with Harold Tom Wilkins, the author of Captain Kidd and His Skeleton Island. Gilbert believed he had found a link between Oak Island and a mysterious map in Wilkins' book.\nThe very wealthy Hedden then bought the southeast end of the island. He did not start digging until the summer of 1935, following excavations by William Chappell in 1931. In 1939, he even informed King George VI of England about developments on Oak Island.\nThe 1931 excavations by William Chappell sank a 163 foot shaft 12x14 feet to the southwest of what they believed was the site of the 1897 shaft, close to the original pit. At 127 feet, a number of artifacts, including an axe, anchor fluke, and pick were found. The pick has been identified as a Cornish miner's poll pick. By this time the entire area around the Money Pit was littered with the debris and refuse of numerous prior excavation attempts so it is unlikely the pick belonged to the original party (if any) that created the hole.\nIn 1965, Robert Dunfield leased the island and, using a 70-ton digging crane with a clam bucket, dug out the pit area to a depth of 140 feet (43 m) and width of 100 feet (30 m). The removed soil was carefully inspected for artifacts. As a result, the location of the original shaft is no longer known. Transportation of the crane to the island required the construction of a causeway (which still exists) from the western end of the island to Crandall's Point on the mainland two hundred meters away.\nAround 1969, Daniel C. Blankenship and David Tobias formed Triton Alliance, Ltd. and bought most of the island. In 1971, Triton workers excavated a 235 foot (72 m) shaft supported by a steel caisson to bedrock. Cameras lowered down the shaft into a cave below were said to have recorded the presence of some chests, human remains, wooden cribbing and tools, but the images were unclear and none of these claims have been confirmed. The shaft subsequently collapsed and the excavation was again abandoned. This shaft was later successfully re-dug to 181 feet, reaching bedrock; work was halted due to lack of funds.\nThe Money Pit Mystery was the subject of an episode of the television series In Search of... which first aired January 18, 1979, bringing the legend of Oak Island to a wider audience. Previously the story had only been known among locals, treasure hunting groups, and readers of sensational magazines and anthologies. The island has been loosely associated with the Freemasons and Templars, but none of this is proven.\nAs of 2005, a portion of the island was for sale with an estimated price tag of $7 million. A group called the Oak Island Tourism Society had hoped the Government of Canada would purchase the island, but a group of American businessmen in the drilling industry did so instead.\nIt was announced in April 2006 that partners from Michigan purchased a 50% stake in Oak Island Tours Inc., for an undisclosed amount of money. The shares were previously owned by David Tobias, and the remaining shares are owned by Dan Blankenship. Allan Kostrzewa, a member of the 'Michigan Group', purchased Lot 25 from David Tobias for a reported $230,000 one year previously. Working closely with Dan Blankenship, the 'Michigan Group' has said they will resume operations on Oak Island in the hope of discovering buried treasure.\nTreasure hunters discovered coconut fibres beneath the surface of one beach (coconuts are not indigenous to Nova Scotia). This led to the theory that the beach had been converted into a giant \"wick\", feeding water from the ocean into the pit. Another theory is that the coconut fibers were used to make a form of putty to seal oak platforms set at various depths in the pit.\nCoconut fibres were also used as shipping dunnage and some say that the fibres may have been discarded from cargo ships stopping at the island or sailing nearby. The purpose, and indeed the very existence, of these fibers and putty have been a source of heated debate among Oak Island researchers.\nOak Island lies on a glacial tumulus system and is underlain by a series of water-filled limestone cavities (Anhydrite) which could be responsible for the repeated flooding of the pit. Bedrock lies at a depth of 160–180 feet in the Money Pit area.\nUpon the invitation of Boston-area businessman David Mugar, a two-week survey was conducted by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 1995, the only scientific study ever conducted on the site. After running dye tests in the bore hole, they concluded that the flooding was caused by a natural interaction between the island's freshwater lens and tidal pressures in the underlying geology, refuting the idea of artificially constructed \"box drains\" or flood tunnels. Scientists who viewed some of the videos taken in 1971 concluded that nothing of value could be determined from the murky images.\nThere has been wide speculation about what the pit might contain. Most suggestions include treasure buried by either Captain Kidd, British troops during the American revolution, Spanish sailors from a wrecked galleon, the Inca or even exiled Knights Templar hiding the Holy Grail in the pit. A theory published by Penn Leary in his The Oak Island enigma: A history and inquiry into the origin of the money pit from 1953, claims that English philosopher Francis Bacon used the pit to hide documents proving him to be the author of William Shakespeare's plays, a theory recently picked up on in the book Organisten (The Organ Player) by Norwegian Petter Amundsen and novelist Erlend Loe.\nThe notorious pirate Edward Teach (Blackbeard) claimed he buried his treasure \"where none but Satan and myself can find it,\" leading to inevitable suggestions that he dug the pit, but there is no evidence to support this. The pit may contain nothing at all. Since the 1970s fewer people have believed the pit has any connection to pirates, due to the massive scale of the subterranean structure and its similarity to other natural formations found in the area.\nThe cipher stone (which disappeared from the island in 1919) has been translated many times with multiple decoders to read \"Forty feet bellow lies two million pounds.\" Even this has been argued to be a hoax despite its appearing in nearly all early accounts of the island. A cipher key and a coded message have been linked to masonic vaults.\nHistory or legend?\nThe story of the money is largely unverified and the gap of sixty years between the supposed discovery and the first known reports is very long. There is no surviving evidence that the nine platforms existed. Indeed, it is noteworthy that almost all of the debris, lost tools and other items mentioned in the early accounts have not been found. This includes the two links from the gold chain, the inscribed stone, and even the tree itself. The piece of parchment apparently does exist and is in the possesion of Dan Blankenship.\nMany elements contained in the Oak Island story, such as the discovery of tantalising but inconclusive objects and a message in indecipherable code, are common in fictional works on treasure and piracy (such as the Edgar Allan Poe story The Gold Bug). This has led many to conclude that the early account of the Money Pit is a romanticised combination of several works of nineteenth century fiction conflated with a local story about a search for buried treasure.\nOak Island in popular culture\nNineteenth century sources\nMyth and Mystery Homepage ~ Discover something old.\nOak Island Wikipedia\n- 11 Conspiracy Theories_1","domain":"geography"} {"url":"http://www.elch.org/","date":"2018-05-27T19:50:36Z","file_path":"s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870082.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527190420-20180527210420-00325.warc.gz","language_score":0.926034152507782,"token_count":104,"dump":"CC-MAIN-2018-22","global_id":"webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-22__0__163989265","lang":"en","text":"Welcome to East Liverpool City Hospital\nWelcome to East Liverpool City Hospital.

But the discipline of linguistics often conjures up fears of theoretical dogma, thorny terminology, and perplexing detail. It seems preferable, then, to introduce students to Spanish linguistics via the geography and history of Hispanic society itself. In this paper I offer a classroom model for this type of «external» approach. Historical topics such as the role of Romans, Arabs, and African Blacks, when combined with features of male and female speech and dialectal traits of the Spanish of Madrid or Havana may stimulate undergraduate minds to delve further into the internal evolution and linguistic form of the language they are studying.56\nGraduate students of Spanish the world over are familiar with Rafael Lapesa's Historia de la lengua española, now in its 9th edition (1981). This classic volume provides details of internal linguistic development (e.g., sound changes, verb forms, pronouns, vocabulary) and outlines the history of Spanish literary style as reflected for the most part in Peninsular (Castilian) texts. I, on the other hand, propose treating language development both in Spain and America, stressing geography and social history rather than topics in historical grammar and literary style. In this paper, as in the classroom, I minimize the use of specialized vocabulary, thus avoiding the pitfall, on the undergraduate level, of extensive linguistic theorizing.\nThe first half of the model is historically motivated and begins in Spain with the Romanization and subsequent Christianizing of Iberia's native Celtic and Iberian populations. In succeeding centuries these Ibero-Roman Christians would intermingle with Arabs, Moors and Jews in Spain, then American Indians and African Blacks in America, and more recently with varied West and East Europeans as well as Asians in parts of Latin America. During this first phase of study, linguistic terminology is introduced piecemeal: e.g., the terms 'spoken', 'popular', or, 'vulgar' Latin during the Roman period; the terms 'language' and 'dialect', 'Spanish' and 'Castilian' when presenting the ascendance of the Castilian dialect to national language status; the subfields of 'phonology', 'morphology', 'syntax', and 'vocabulary' or 'lexicon' when discussing classical (16th century) Spanish. During this phase, students come to appreciate the birth and infancy, maturation and flourishing of the language on both sides of the Atlantic.\nThe second half of the program is geo-linguistically oriented and begins with the dialectal areas of contemporary Spain. With the exceptions of Basque or Euskera and Romany (the language spoken by gypsies among themselves), the languages and dialects of the Iberian Peninsula are the surviving offspring of spoken Latin. However, beginning with Spain's Golden Age, most languages and dialects other than Castilian have languished, and some have virtually perished. Only within the last two decades have public awareness and government legislation fostered an appreciation of Spain's 'minority' languages -Catalan, Euskera, and Galician- and, to a lesser extent, the Asturian and Aragonese dialects.\nAlthough any attempt to divide Latin American Spanish into\nairtight dialectal zones is destined\nAllow me now to illustrate various topics in Spanish language history. Although in the classroom I proceed chronologically and treat both the social history and linguistic dimension of Hispanic society, here I shall synthesize by grouping topics linguistically, respecting the traditional headings of vocabulary (lexicon), sounds (phonology), and word and sentence formation (morphology and syntax).57\nSpanish language history abounds with geographical references and cultural terms easily accessible to undergraduate students58. The Greeks referred to the eastern half of the Peninsula as Iberia, a term related to the Ebro (tierra; porta, with open o>puerta). With Spanish of the Golden Age, we see a quasi-standardized stage of development with medieval traits eliminated (e.g., word initial f->h-> omission) and consonantal changes (e.g., Castilian //) reaching their modern stages.\nAn especially instructive case of a conservative vs. innovative split in Spanish language history is the behavior of the sound /s/62. In Old and New Castile, during the first part of the 17th century, urban speakers were already observing the Castilian distinction /s/ vs. // as in casa/caza. By this time Andalusian Spanish, especially in its central and southern varieties, was moving further ahead by merging the /s/ vs. // distinction, pronouncing both sounds as /s/. What is more, Andalusians were often aspirating syllable-final (-s), pronouncing it as /-h/: mi/h/mo, tiene/h/. Culturally, Seville had become the hub of migratory activities where sailors, soldiers, settlers, merchants, and missionaries converged from all parts of Iberia before setting out for the New World. Seville was regularly exporting not only commercial items but social customs, not the least of which were its regional varieties of pronunciation. Subsequent emigrants to American port cities -Havana, Vera Cruz, Cartagena, Guayaquil- reinforced this early Andalusian imprint. However, in Lima, Peru and in the American cordilleras in the political, ecclesiastical, and academic power centers of central Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, and later in Bogotá, the force of tradition counteracted some -but not all- of the Andalusian traits; this linguistic conservatism was cultivated by administrators and clerks from central and northern Spain and was fostered by academics in America's newly founded universities.\nThe 20th century dialects of Spanish are nearly always\nmutually comprehensible, despite local differences of pitch and accent.\nCastilian practices the // vs /s/ distinction, as in\ncocer/coser, and pronounces /s/\nwith hints of // (that is, pronounced with the tip\nof the tongue turned slightly upward; cf. English\nDialectal innovations are audible in other phonetic environments as well: for example, whether intervocalic (-d-) and word-final (-d) are deleted (mercado = /merkao/; verdad = /berda/), as is common in Madrid, or retained, as in central Mexico; or whether (l) is substituted for (r) or (r) for (l) (puerta>/puelta/, alma>/arma/), as in popular Andalusian and much Caribbean vernacular. In Buenos Aires today, to cite a more current innovation, all younger generation speakers pronounce (y) and (ll) yo me llamo-as // (as in English show); older generation speakers tend to use // (as in Zsa Zsa), this latter pronounciation, until recent times, having been associated with the Spanish of Río de la Plata (Fontanella de Weinberg 1983:105). When dialectal varieties are presented in the classroom, they come to life for students if native speakers demonstrate them, recorded tapes capture them, and videos picture Hispanics communicating on their own turf.\nPopular Latin streamlined words and sentences for use in the spontaneous speech of the home and market place. Its grammar and word order were relatively simple; sentences were short; newly formed auxiliary words, verb tenses, and prepositions made their appearance. Throughout the periods of primitive-Romance (mainly the 5th-9th centuries) and Old Spanish (10th-15th centuries), Ibero-Romance capitalized upon these tendencies while elaborating newer ones of its own. Later, the Golden Age of the 16th and 17th centuries brought a period of linguistic stabilization in which, as examples, haber and tener and ser and estar, which in Old Spanish had overlapped in many contexts, each took on distinctive functions.\nThe Hispanic system of interpersonal address will display the complexities of sociolinguistic interplay63. Classical Latin provided the basic pronouns of address by expressing singular 'I' and 'you' as ego and tu; plural 'we' and `you' were nos and vos, pure and simple. In popular Latin and later in Old Spanish, vos (+2nd-person plural verb) became polite and respectful address for singular 'you'; tú (+2nd singular verb) was relegated to informal and condescending use. By the time of Spain's Golden Age, the language, expressing a Hispanic concern with power and prestige, developed a new courtly term -vuessa merced (
