From Ancient Chants to Stretchy Pants – the Journey of Yoga and its remarkable effect on our Wellbeing.
"The success of yoga does not lie in the ability to perform postures, but in how it positively changes the way we live our life and our relationships." -TKV Desikachar.
Yoga has become a key part of Western popular culture and alternative health regimes, but the origin of this sacred spiritual practice goes back for centuries. Developed in India over 5,000 years ago, the early writings on yoga were inscribed on the fragile palm leaves destroyed or lost in the passage of time.
Contemporary yoga, as we know it today was brought to the West by T. Krishnamacharya, the man known as "the father of modern yoga". Among most contemporary styles of yoga, many trace their roots back to this man, whose teachings remain the inspiration for thousands of yoga practitioners around the world. Whether it was for wellbeing, fitness, healing or as part of a spiritual quest, T Krishnamacharya managed to give every seeker of yoga and yoga therapy exactly what they sought. An acclaimed master of Asana, Pranayama and Dhyanam techniques, T Krishnamacharya was a prolific writer and orator, one of the pioneers of adapting yoga techniques for therapy, and adept in Vedic chanting.
His son and devoted student, TKV Desikachar was known for his straightforward and pragmatic approach, demystifying yoga philosophy. He was fundamental in pioneering the area of wellness and yoga therapy that we benefit from today. He was a master healer and spiritual guide. Known for his generosity of teaching and sharing, TKV Desikachar's landmark book, "The Heart of Yoga" remains a bestseller to this day.
"However powerful or disturbing something may appear to be, it is our reaction to it that determines its effects" – TKV Desikachar.
At The Sound Temple, we hold many events throughout the year that honour this ancient spiritual practice. Join us once a month, for the deeply nourishing experience of Vedic Chant for Health and Wellbeing. Chant sets up a vibration throughout the entire body and is a powerful tool of yoga that promotes health, strength and vitality. It encourages stronger and more nourishing breathing, improved emotional stability, better memory, increased physical stability, energy and confidence.
Alternatively, enjoy the uplifting and resounding atmosphere of devotional singing during our Kirtan family nights. Building a strong sense of community and expression of heartfelt love, these nights will warm you up, inside and out.

Coffee can make us cranky. When I drink too much coffee it tends to make me jumpy and quicker to open my mouth. Do you have something worth saying or will it just hurt someone else's feelings? Could you frame your argument more compassionately? Coffee gives us a high with so much energy sometimes we don't know where to put it. Stay balanced by switching to green tea or yerba mate. Both supply a boost while keeping you calm and collected.

Overview: Online Sports Betting In Rhode Island
February 10, 2021by Christopher Gerlacher0
Rhode Island is a small but mighty sports betting state. It was the first state in the Northeast to legalize sports betting. However, the way Rhode Island legalized it caused a stir within the legislature. (Although, the slam dunk judicial victories suggest the controversy was more political posturing than a serious concern.) Rhode Island also didn't get sports betting quite right the first time, either. It had to make some changes along the way to make it more accessible for bettors. And more profitable for the state.
How Rhode Island Launched Sports Betting
Although it's not the first state to consider doing this, Rhode Island saw the most controversy over it. Rhode Island didn't vote on a ballot initiative, and the legislature didn't send a bill to the Governor's desk. Instead, Governor Gina Raimondo legalized sports betting through the state budget. Since the state budget is a list of spending obligations and sources of revenue, two things must happen:
Sources of income must deliver.
Expenses become obligations.
But Governor Raimondo didn't legalize sports wagering on a whim. Six years of votes laid the groundwork for sports betting's inclusion in Rhode Island's budget. In 2012 and 2016, Rhode Island voters approved casino gambling in their state. Casino gaming includes Class III games, which is a broad category of gaming that includes:
Since voters approved casino gaming when they approved Rhode Island's casinos, they approved all the types of casino gaming that casinos can offer. That includes sports betting. So, Governor Raimondo and the Democratic House didn't pull a coup. They called for a type of casino gaming that had been approved in two different elections. On June 15, 2018, sports betting was officially legal in Rhode Island.
How Rhode Island Went Mobile
Rhode Island's sports betting industry began as a retail-only model. On November 26, 2018, Twin Rivers Casino in Lincoln accepted the first sports wager. However, Rhode Island looked for ways to expand sports betting after it went live. Mobile sports betting was the next step. On September 4, 2019, the Sportsbook Rhode Island launched its mobile app. Bettors had to register their accounts in person, but they could wager from anywhere in-state after that. Nevertheless, the launch seemed to go well. The Rhode Island Lottery even met its goal of launching mobile sports betting before the NFL season. Everything looked rosy until the pandemic. In-person registration wasn't a good idea when a contagious respiratory disease was ravaging the planet. Sports betting revenues dropped when new users stopped signing up. So, Rhode Island passed a bill that got rid of the in-person registration requirement. At that point, Rhode Island's only flaw was having a lottery-run sportsbook industry. Limiting the number of sportsbooks depresses competition, leading to worse odds, fewer bonuses for bettors, and possibly less revenue for the state. Rhode Island takes 51% of the State Lottery's profits, which it can do since it's state-owned. But if Rhode Island ever wants to transition to a private-run sports gambling industry, it'll likely have to lower its tax rate. (DraftKings only tolerates New Hampshire's 50% tax rate because the state gave it a monopoly.) But Rhode Island has optimistic tax revenue goals for the upcoming fiscal year. It's projected to make $26.3 million from sports betting. Compared to the first year's revenue of $6.9 million, that's quite hopeful. Introducing mobile sports gambling and eliminating in-person registration give Rhode Island a chance to meet that goal. But the proof will be in the final numbers.
The Ongoing Lawsuits Over Rhode Island Sports Betting
One representative has been opposed to sports betting in Rhode Island since its inception. When Rhode Island originally legalized sports gambling in 2018, GOP legislators wanted an amendment to the state's budget. They wanted a court opinion on whether the Governor could legalize sports betting. Well, they got one. In 2019, Daniel Harrop sued Rhode Island to stop sports gambling. AP News reports he doesn't mind gambling – apparently, Harrop decided to sue during a roulette game. He argued that voters never approved sports betting because they never voted on it. But, technically, when voters approved casino gaming, they approved sports betting. Sports betting is included under the umbrella of "casino gaming," so there wasn't a legal issue. On June 2, 2020, Judge Brian Stern ruled against Harrop. Judge Stern cited the "plain language" of the 2012 and 2016 ballot initiatives as proof voters approved – among other types of gaming – sports betting. Governor Raimondo and the Rhode Island Lottery won round one. But watch for a passionate appeal from Harrop and other Republican activists.
Online Sports Betting In Rhode Island
Rhode Island's Lottery runs the state's mobile sportsbook. Governor Raimondo brought sports betting to Rhode Island thanks to ballot initiatives from 2012 and 2016. Rhode Island began with retail-only sports gambling and progressed to mobile sports gambling. The state eliminated in-person registration, too, giving Rhode Islanders a convenient sports betting option. As more neighboring states legalize sports gambling, Rhode Island may have to transition to a private-run sports betting industry. But until then, Rhode Island has a convenient sports betting option.

Ideas in Action
Hands-on learning through summer internships
More than 200 students received funding from the College this past summer to take advantage of research and internship opportunities that allowed them to apply their classroom learning to real-world issues. In these pages, six of them talk about their experiences in areas as varied as conservation, urban farming, biomedical research, forensic investigation, arts administration, and public health.
Preserving Our Natural Heritage: Simona Clausnitzer '14
Simona Clausnitzer '14 worked as an interpretive park ranger at Glacier National Park.
Major: Geology
My Internship: I interned at Glacier National Park as an interpretive park ranger through the Student Conservation Association. My work focused on communicating the importance of Glacier through visitor interactions—guided hikes, boat tours, and themed talks.
Leadership Moments: I led a three-mile morning hike that focused on growth and renewal. Along a section burned by wildfire, I would pose questions like, "When is something truly 'dead' if it is functioning within a larger system?" On another tour, a boat tour of St. Mary Lake, I talked about the different timescales of change—quick versus long-term, natural versus human-caused. With climate change, these two timescales are becoming skewed, and we could see a lot of evidence of this in Glacier National Park.
Making a Difference: Interpretation helps guide visitors in respectful and healthy use of park resources while educating them about why it is so crucial to respect those resources. I felt that I was doing something meaningful by educating visitors about Glacier's importance, why we should protect it, and how we're all connected to the natural world. Communication is crucial to conservation because unless people care, they won't take steps to protect places such as Glacier.
What I Know Now: At first, I was nervous and not very confident about my knowledge—especially when I had to talk to large groups of people for 25 minutes. By the end, I could jot down some main concepts and then successfully improvise a talk.
The Bryn Mawr Edge: This experience felt like the perfect combination of my BMC studies in geology, my passion for conservation/preservation, and my interest in working with the public. Because of my background knowledge, especially in geology, the science of Glacier National Park was easier for me to master and to communicate.

Teaching Sustainability: Madeline Johnson '15

Major: Math
My Internship: I worked at an urban farm and farm education nonprofit in the West Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia—Weavers Way Community Programs.
Biggest Revelation: I wanted to be outdoors doing physical work because it's a break from mental work—and we did a lot of fieldwork. Then a couple of times a week, education groups came in. I had never done anything education-related before this internship, so I was happy to get the opportunity. I'm not sure if teaching is what I want to do with the rest of my life, but this gave me a good taste of what it might be like.
My Support System: I am a Posse student, and for me that was a good fit. I was looking for a whole support system in college. Whether it's because of going to college, or going to a women's college, or going to Bryn Mawr itself, or Posse, I think I've become much more confident in what I am doing.
Why I Love Bryn Mawr: Sometimes I look around, and I realize how lucky I am. I'm never going to live in a castle again for the rest of my life, so I better enjoy it while it lasts.

Finding a Cure for Cancer: Ivana Wang '15

Major: Biology
My Internship: I worked on a pancreatic cancer research project at Fox Chase Cancer Center, specifically on a project to clone a gene that plays an important role in DNA repair and transcription.
What I Know Now: Coming into the lab with no research experience, I felt that I had a lot to learn. When I found out that my cloning reactions worked, I felt like a real scientist. This was my first real contribution to the scientific world of cancer research. I got to experience firsthand what kinds of problems researchers run into and, more importanly, how to tackle challenges that inevitably arise.
The Bryn Mawr Connection: I have always been interested in medicine and biomedical research, and my academic advisor [Associate Professor of Biology Tamara Davis] suggested that I look at Fox Chase Cancer Center as an internship possibility. She suggested that I attend a talk given by Bryn Mawr alumna Dr. Erica Golemis '83, who works at Fox Chase Cancer Center. I emailed her about the possibility of interning there over the summer, and she suggested a few people I could reach out to. Only after getting accepted did I learn that Dr. Golemis is my PI's mentor.
The Bryn Mawr Edge: Bryn Mawr's rigorous classes have taught me how to persevere when things do not go as planned, and how to succeed in whatever I do.

Cracking the Case: Jessica Ferreira '14

My Internship: I was an intern for the Office of Chief Medical Examiner of New York City. Working alongside law enforcement officers, the OCME investigates deaths occurring in New York, whether from natural or unknown causes, self-inflicted or criminal violence.
A Typical Day: My main responsibility was to observe and assist as much as possible during autopsies by holding backdrops for photographs, weighing remains, and labeling body samples for toxicology and evidence. Throughout, the pathologists shared their findings and sometimes asked us questions or asked us to offer our own conclusions based on what we had observed. The day ended with a meeting at which the pathologists shared their conclusions based on the autopsy findings.
What I know now: I am now somewhat able to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy organs. I have a better grasp on the effects and external signs of certain diseases and injuries.
Looking forward: Forensic pathology has been a dream of mine since second grade, and having the opportunity to live the life of a forensic pathologist for two months assured me that the path I had set out on is not only possible but also one I will enjoy.

Getting Creative: Jacqueline Handy '14
Jacqueline Handy '14 interned at Ping Chong + Company, an experimental theater company. Photo by David H. Wells.
Major: Theater and Psychology
My Internship: I interned at Ping Chong + Company, an experimental theater company that uses the oral histories and personal narratives of individuals who've identified as "other" in their societies. PCC then uses these stories to create art.
A Typical Day: I was charged with completely updating the company website and grant writing. Because PCC relies on grants as a main sources of funding, a number of grants were being developed during my time here. Before those grants went out the door, I edited them.
Leadership Moments: I got the chance to take on a huge project and work on it from start to finish with the freedom to ask questions and receive constructive feedback in the end. I was entrusted with real-world tasks that challenged me. It was that trust and those challenges that really helped me grow this summer.
What I know Now: I now know how to navigate an online web-design program—something I needed to know last year but did not. I also learned what it's like to work in a small business, especially in understanding where and how funding is acquired. Lastly, I was exposed to the business side of theater, which is something that I had never been exposed to.
Gaining a network: Through PCC I have developed new networks, and I am really excited to call upon those resources once I graduate. I made connections in the theater world, so that when I get out and become an actress—which is what I'm hoping to do—I'll know people I can lean on and who can point me in the right direction.

Empowering Healthy Communities: Angela Allard '14
Angela Allard '14 promoted eye health in impoverished areas of Ghana with the nonprofit Unite for Site.
Major: Mathematics, on the pre-medicine track
My Internship: I volunteered as a Global Impact Fellow for Unite for Sight in Ghana. The mission of Unite for Sight is to eliminate patients' barriers to eye care in impoverished areas by partnering with local eye clinics and providing both financial and human resources.
A Typical day: On outreach days, we traveled—sometimes up to six hours—to villages where we would make educational presentations about eye health. Following that, I measured each patient's visual acuity, dispensed medications and glasses, and recorded patient information into a database. One day every week, I went to the clinic along with patients referred for Unite for Sight-sponsored surgery and observed and signed off on each of those surgeries.
What I know Now: I learned how to perform checks for visual acuity, how to dispel misconceptions about health care, and how to take ethical medical photographs. I've come to realize that good health is a great source of empowerment, especially for people living in underprivileged communities. This experience has inspired me to do more in the public health field than I previously thought I could.
The Bryn Mawr Edge: The medical field requires much more than a strict science background. Bryn Mawr teaches you to not see things as one-dimensional. You learn to analyze issues from all different viewpoints. The sociological and cultural aspects of medicine are just as important.

Extra Exercise Could Help Depressed Smokers Quit: Study
News By -- Mary Elizabeth Dallas
TUESDAY, July 29, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Quitting smoking is harder for people with depression, according to a new review.
Depression can make it more difficult to ride out the anxiety, cravings or lack of sleep that come with trying to quit cold turkey, scientists found. But extra exercise -- even just a walk -- could help people quit faster, they said.
"The review should be seen as a call to arms," the study's co-author, Gregory Moullec, a postdoctoral researcher in the department of exercise science at Concordia University in Montreal, said in a university news release.
The study's first author, Paquito Bernard, of the University of Montpellier in France, added that he hopes the findings will alert researchers and clinicians to the "promising role of exercise in the treatment of both depression and smoking cessation."
Nearly 20 percent of adults in North America are regular smokers, although this percentage is on the decline. Meanwhile, roughly 40 percent of those with depression still rely on regular drags, the researchers said.
Depressed smokers feel the need to smoke twice as often as smokers who don't have a mood disorder, according to the researchers. Those having the hardest time avoiding cigarettes may be grappling with more mental health issues than they realize, the authors added.
For the study, published recently in Nicotine & Tobacco Research, the researchers said they examined quit-smoking programs for people with depression, looking for the effect of exercise against relapse and on withdrawal symptoms. They also reviewed published studies investigating links between exercise and smoking, and exercise and depression.
The investigators found that over 18 months, just taking regular walks can help ease the withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting smoking -- even if it's not enough physical activity to reduce symptoms of depression.
More research is needed to determine the role exercise should play in programs designed to help people quit smoking, the study authors concluded.
"We still need stronger evidence to convince policymakers," Moullec said in the news release. "Unfortunately, there is still skepticism about exercise compared to pharmacological strategies. But if we continue to conduct ambitious trials, using high-standard methodology, we will get to know which interventions are the most effective of all."
The American Cancer Society has more about quitting smoking.

Horní Beřkovice (deutsch Ober Berschkowitz) ist eine Gemeinde in Tschechien. Sie liegt neun Kilometer westlich von Mělník und gehört zum Okres Litoměřice.

Geographie
Das Dorf befindet sich südöstlich des Říp auf der Böhmischen Tafel. Durch Horní Beřkovice führt die Eisenbahnstrecke Libochovice – Vraňany.

Nachbarorte sind Kostomlaty pod Řípem im Norden, Cítov im Nordosten, Daminěves und Jenišovice im Osten, Lužec nad Vltavou im Südosten, Spomyšl und Jeviněves im Süden, Černouček im Westen sowie Ctiněves im Nordwesten.

Geschichte
Nach alten Überlieferungen soll der Ort im 9. Jahrhundert durch Beš, den Stammvater der Pschowanen, gegründet und nach ihm als Beškovice benannt worden sein.

Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung erfolgte unter dem Namen Boskovice und stammt aus dem Jahre 1344. Besitzer des Dorfes war zu dieser Zeit Ješek von Beškovice, der auch Vliněves, Neumětely und Cítov besaß. Das Geschlecht der Beškovice von Beškovic stammt von Smil von Citov ab, der 1268 das Kloster des Hl. Laurentius in Mělník gründete, und machte die Feste Beškovice zu seinem Stammsitz. Die Beškovice von Beškovic besaßen Güter in Mittel- und Ostböhmen. Mit Mikuláš von Beškovice erlosch die Familie 1579 im Mannesstamme, den Titel und das Wappen erbte der Prager Bürger Pavel Kostelecký.

Den früheren Stammsitz Beškovice hatte Jan der Jüngere von Beškovice bereits nach 1450 an Čéček von Pakoměřice verkauft. 1470 wurden die Firšic von Nabdín Besitzer von Beškovice. Nachdem Jindřich Firšic 1497 Veltrusy von Zdeňko von Šternberk abgekauft hatte, schloss er es an die Herrschaft Beškovice an. Die Herrschaft umfasste auch Straškov sowie Teile von Bechlín, Průhon, Předonín, Vepřek und Záblati.

1521 verkaufte Jan Firšic die Herrschaft Beškovice an Burian Trčka von Lípa. 1527 wurde Hans Kaplirz de Sulewicz auf Dux Besitzer von Beschkowitz. Ihm folgte drei Jahre später sein Sohn Pavel, der sich Pavel Beškovský nannte und die Feste zu seinem Sitz machte. Nach dessen Tode verkaufte seine Witwe Eva 1559 die Herrschaft an Kaspar von Bellwitz und Nostitz, der sie noch im selben Jahre an Christoph Popel von Lobkowicz auf Bílina und Kost weiterreichte. Seit dem Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts wurde das Dorf zur Unterscheidung von einem gleichnamigen Ort als Hoření Beřkovice bezeichnet.

Von 1604 bis zu seinem Tode im Jahre 1647 war Wilhelm von Lobkowicz Besitzer von Hoření Beřkovice, bis 1615 gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder Wenzel, der früh verstarb. Von seiner Witwe Begina Katharina ging der Besitz 1655 an Christoph Ferdinand Popel von Lobkowicz über. Dieser verkaufte Hoření Beřkovice im gleichen Jahre an Johann von Rottal, der es seinem Schwiegersohn Ferdinand Ernst von Waldstein überließ. Dessen Sohn Ernst Joseph von Waldstein verkaufte Ober Berschkowitz 1680 an Franz Ritter Scheidler von Scheidlern. Unter dessen Sohn Christoph Ferdinand Scheidler begann 1684 der Umbau der Feste zu einem Schloss.

Adam Franz von Hartig ließ 1738 das Neue Schloss errichten, da ihm das alte nicht gefiel. 1752 erwarb der böhmische Statthalter und Hofkanzler Rudolph Chotek von Chotkow die Herrschaft. 1821 folgten die Grafen Ledebour. Adolf von Ledebour verkaufte Horní Beřkovice 1841 an Čeňek Graf von Desfours-Walderode.

Nach der Aufhebung der Patrimonialherrschaften wurde Horní Beřkovice 1848 zur selbstständigen Gemeinde im Bezirk Roudnice nad Labem. Während der Schlacht bei Königgrätz befand sich 1866 im Gasthaus ein preußisches Militärlazarett. 1869 erwarb der Gutsbesitzer Josef Černý das Schloss. Černý verkaufte 1889 das Schloss an die Verwaltung des Kronlandes Böhmen, die im darauf folgenden Jahr darin eine Landesirrenanstalt einrichtete. 1912 wurde die Grundschule erbaut.

Seit 1961 gehört die Gemeinde zum Okres Litoměřice. Von der 1. bis zur 9. Klasse ist Horní Beřkovice Schulort für die Nachbarorte Ctiněves, Černouček, Kostomlaty pod Řípem und Libkovice pod Řípem.

Ortsgliederung
Für die Gemeinde Horní Beřkovice sind keine Ortsteile ausgewiesen.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
 Neues Schloss Horní Beřkovice, der Barockbau entstand zwischen 1738 und 1756 für Adam Franz von Hartig.

Sure, Denverites are definitely a diverse group of people. But, you have to admit there are certain characteristics we are known for that are actually (sometimes proudly, and sometimes painfully) accurate. Check out this list of 8 stereotypes about those who dwell in the Mile High City that we simply can't deny.
1. We are really high.
No...it's not what you're thinking. We are actually living at one mile (5,280 feet) above sea level...hence our city's nickname.
2. We consider our four-legged friends to truly be our best friends.
Here in Denver, it seems like everyone has a dog, and Denver dogs are well-loved dogs.
3. We are beer snobs.
We'd probably prefer the term "connoisseur" but yes, we like our beer cold...and locally crafted.
4. We actually do bleed orange and blue.
Broncos fans our fiercely loyal to their team...no matter what.
5. We love the sun.
Looking for a local? You'll find us outdoors.
Sitting in parking lot traffic on I-25 has us wondering why we didn't just ride our bike to work.
Sure, there's a good number of couch potatoes here in Denver, but a vast majority of Mile High City dwellers can be found working up a sweat whenever possible.
8. We love to play in the snow.
When we get a nice accumulation of snow here in Denver, you won't find us staying in and cozying up by the fire. We get out there and enjoy it.
What are some other stereotypes that you have found to be true of Denver locals? Please share in the comments section below.
We've talked about what people from Denver do, but what are some things that they would absolutely NOT do? Check out these 13 Things No Self-Respecting Denverite Would Ever Do to find out!

History of Prambanan Temple Complete
0 0 Mumusweb Monday, September 11, 2017
Prambanan Temple is a Hindu temple located on the border between 2 provinces of Central Java and Yogyakarta Special Region. The location of Prambanan temple precisely located approximately 30 kilometers to the northeast of the city of Yogyakarta. The temple closest to Prambanan temple is Kalasan Temple, Pawon Temple, Plaosan Temple, Ratu Boko Temple, and many more, just a few kilometers from Prambanan.
History of Prambanan Temple, Brief About Prambanan
Anyone not know about Prambanan Temple? of course all know. Yes indeed almost all Indonesian people already know about Prambanan Temple or at least have heard and seen through television or other media.
Prambanan temple is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, and even believed in Southeast Asia with a height of 47 meters. The temple by UNESCO has been designated as a cultural heritage built in the 9th century, and dedicated to the three great gods of Hinduism namely God Brahma as the creator god, Lord Vishnu as the god of the rearing, and the God of Shiva as the destructive deity.
History of Prambanan Temple, Development Background
After about a century the land of Java was overrun by the Buddhist Syailendra dynasty, eventually their power gradually faded after several major defeats. And the history of Prambanan Temple began at that time. The Hindu Sanjaya dynasty slowly and surely began to regain control of Java.
And to compete with the Borobudur Temple which is the largest Buddhist temple in Java ever built by the Syailendra Dynasty, then the Sanjaya Dynasty built a Hindu Temple which is also no less magnificent.
The history of Prambanan Temple dates back to about 850 AD. Prambanan Temple was first built by Rakai Pikatan who was the ruler of the Syailendra dynasty at that time. After Rakai Pikatan, the history of the Prambanan Temple continues with the massive construction undertaken by King Lokapala and continued by Balitung Maha Sambu who is the master of the Mataram Kingdom of the Sanjaya Dynasty. Then the construction of the temple then still continued by King Daksa and Tulodong by building Perwara temples are small temples that number very much even reach hundreds.
History of Prambanan Temple, Shivagrha Inscription
History of Prambanan Temple - Inscription Shivagrha There is an inscription that has been found and berangka year 856 AD Shivagrha Inscription. And based on the Shivagrha Inscription, it is said that Prambanan Temple was built in honor of Lord Shiva which is the greatest Hindu god. And based on that inscription, it is mentioned that this temple was first named as Shiva-grha which means Shiva Home and also called Shiva-laya which means Shiva's Kingdom.
The history of Prambanan Temple also can not be separated from the inscription Shivagrha also mentioned about the ongoing of a large project that also took place simultaneously with the construction of Prambanan Temple. The big project that takes place on the exterior of this enclave is the Opak River project. Opak River is a large river that flows north of Prambanan Temple.
It was mentioned that the opaque river originally flowed from the north of the temple complex towards the east, then diverted its flow to the temple. Opak river cutting is done by cutting the flow of water in the north and diverted directly to the south just past the east of Prambanan Temple.
History of Prambanan Temple, Government Center
Based on the history of Prambanan Temple obtained from some historical evidence, Prambanan Temple is believed to be a temple used for worship and other religious events. Believed also around Prambanan temple there are also some complex of buildings which is a kind of shrine or residence of Brahmins or Buddhist monks.
And with the existence of some large complex in the area around the temple, it is also believed that this area is the location of the central government of the Hindu Mataram kingdom of the Sanjaya Dynasty. This is also reinforced by the discovery of the ruins of the temple complex Ratu Boko which is located just about 5 kilometers south of Prambanan Temple.
Ratu Boko temple is a ruined complex of enshrinement. And based on some historical evidence, it is believed that this temple complex Ratu Boko is a former ruins of the Royal Palace of Hindu Mataram Palace. And it is believed that here is the center of the Hindu Mataram royal government. This is also supported by the large number of large and small temples found around this area. If counted maybe the number could reach hundreds of pieces of both large temples and candi-canri in the form of ruins.
History of Prambanan Temple, The Collapse of Prambanan Temple
The history of Prambanan temple ended when the Mataram Kingdom Palace shifted and moved to East Java. Believed to be the cause of the removal of the central government location was caused by a large eruption of Mount Merapi which is located in the north of the temple. Another cause is the existence of various major rebellions that occurred within the Sanjaya Dynasty itself. And moved the center of government is done by Mpu Sindok in 930 AD which later founded the Isyana Dynasty.
After being abandoned, Prambanan Temple gradually began to decay and eventually suffered massive destruction due to a major earthquake that occurred in the 16th century. And finally Prambanan Temple is really only a small debris that amounted to hundreds. But even so the surrounding community is still very respectful of the existence of the ruins of the temple to the extent that came the famous legend Roro Jonggrang.
History of Prambanan Temple, Recovery and Restoration
After hundreds of years of abandonment and debris left, the history of Prambanan temple began to see the light after the British interested to restore the glory of this temple. Colin Mackenzie is a Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles man by chance found the ruins of Prambanan Temple and assigned to excavate. But it did not go smoothly, and the ruins still remain dormant.
Several restorations were carried out by the Dutch government in 1880, 1918, and finally a large restoration in 1930 and ended in 1953 which was inaugurated directly by Indonesia's first president Soekarno. Then in the history of Prambanan temple, in 2006 this temple again suffered heavy damage due to an earthquake that shook the region of Yogyakarta and surrounding areas. However once this temple immediately get a thorough improvement.
History of Prambanan Temple, Prambanan
The beauty of Prambanan Temple will never end. Since it was first built up to the present time is still very often used for various religious ceremonies to various tourist events. Until now Hindus still use temple complex for religious ceremonies. Especially for example at the time of Hindhu religious festivals, not infrequently this place seems crowded with acanya religious ceremony held here.
While on the west side of the temple built a Ramayana Ballet stage that is routinely served for tourists who visit various tourist attractions in Yogyakarta and specifically visit Prambanan Temple. Ramayana Ballet is a spectacle of dance featuring a story of Hindu Ramayana. This dance scene is very interesting for tourists, especially foreign tourists. But of course there are special admission tickets sold to enjoy this ballet. Ticket is quite expensive for local tourists, but if you see this art scene, the price to be paid is quite comparable to the beautiful dance that staged.
That is Prambanan Temple from the background of development, the heyday, the time of its collapse, to the present time. Hopefully the historical reviews of Prambanan Temple is useful for you, thank you.

I will take a high speed train from Kunming to Shanghai, which station shall be used?
Answered by Nancy from SOUTH AFRICA | Jun. 01, 2020 18:39
You need to take the train from Kunming south station if your train is a high speed train, since high speed rail is only available here. Kunming south is in the new district of Kunming, it is a little far from the city center.

Thank you for your your inquiry.
"Kunming Railway Station" is a specific station, as it is just named by city name. It is close to downtown, at No. 1 Beijing Road, Guandu District. NOT this south station.

Getting to Kunming SOUTH Railway station from Changshui Airport
We appreciate the latest on getting to Kunming SOUTH Railway station from Changshui Airport ( there seem to be some conflicting info). We understand:
Option 1: take Line 6 from Airport to East Coach station > change to Line 3 to Dongfeng Square >change to Line 2 to South Ring Road > change to Line 1 to Chun Rong Jie station >then change to same Line 1 but to Kunming South Railway station - is this correct ?
Option 2: Take shuttle bus 919k direct from the Airport but this bus only start at 11am - is this correct ? Are there NOT earlier bus, at say 7 am or so ?
Answered by Terrell from CANADA | May. 17, 2019 04:25
I think both information are correct, I also found same information as you do. In addition, I also found another way, take airport shuttle bus route 4 to Howard Johnson Tropical Garden Plaza Kunming which is just near Chun Rong Jie Station. The bus starts at 9am. Then you can take metro line 1 from Chun Rong Jie to the South Station.

2FACE IDIBIA GETS NEW AWARD IN LONDON
AWARD-winning artiste, 2Face Idibia, added another feather to his cap on Wednesday night when he won the Best African Act at the 12th yearly Music of Black Origin (MOBO) Awards at the 02 Arena, Greenwich, South East London. However, Idibia, who was in the company of KoKo maestro, DBanj, watched in horror as his trophy dropped on the stage and was smashed in the process.
Despite that incident, Idibia can pride himself on being in the company of the likes of American hip hop artistes, Kanye West and Ne - Yo, who both won the same award for their efforts in both the Song and Hip Hop categories. Previous MOBO award winners include the legendary Kool and the Gang, Justin Timberlake, 50 Cents and George Benson.
Born as Innocent Ujah Idibia and formerly of the defunct R&B /hip hop group, Plantashun Boyz, 2Face rose to global fame with his hit song, African Queen, which won the first award given for Best African at the MTV Europe Awards held in Lisbon, Portugal in November 2005.
Besides, African Queen was the first ever video to be played on pan-African channel MTV Base and has also been featured as one of the soundtracks of a movie called Phat Girlz, among many others.
With his stock steadily rising, the multiple award-winning artiste has been pencilled down to perform at Nigeria's pre-independence day dance along Sir Shina Peters and others, at the Ocean Music venue in Hackney, on September 28, 2007.

Pretoria woman's cold sore turns out to be lip cancer
Clara van Heerden got a cold sore in 2016 that would not go away, prompting a visit to the hospital, where she received devastating news. WARNING: Graphic content.

A Pretoria west woman is despondent after something that looked like a mere cold sore turned out to be lip cancer.
Clara van Heerden of Hermanstad said after she got a cold sore that would not go away in June 2016, she was referred to the Steve Biko Academic hospital by her family doctor, she explained to Pretoria Moot Rekord.
"The doctor said it looked like lip cancer, which was why he referred me to the hospital," she said.
ALSO READ: Nobel-winning therapy weaponises immune system against cancer
She said three biopsies and one computed tomography (CT) scan results showed that it was only an infection.
"Just after the third biopsy in July this year, it started growing and getting worse," she said.
Van Heerden said she returned to hospital after her lip got worse.
"The doctors then decided to treat it as cancer, but added that they would have to cut my lip out," she said.
"I immediately got up and walked out because I simply could not believe that I was about to lose my lip because of a cold sore."
Taking matters into her own hands, Van Heerden took to social media asking for help.
Van Heerden said a doctor from Pretoria offered to operate on her lip for free.
"Although he is doing the procedure free of charge, I will still be responsible for the hospital and operation room charges," she said.
Donations for Van Heerden are thus of utmost importance, as the operation would cost around R100 000.
Van Heerden explained how the procedure would work.
"The doctor will cut the cancer from my lip and attempt to pull the skin from my cheeks to fill the gap," she explained.
"If that is not going to work, he will have to use skin from my breast."
"I will never look like a normal person again and will never have a bottom lip like everyone else."
Anyone who would like to assist Van Heerden can visit her Facebook page for more information.
"The doctor said he aimed to do the procedure before the end of the month," Van Heerden said.
Watch the video below to see the extent of Van Heerden's cancer. WARNNG: Graphic content.

Q: Equivalence relation on $S^2$ and unit square make same space I think I understand a bit of this task, but I hope someone can look critical to my answers:
Let $X$ be the space obtained from the sphere $S^2$ by gluing the north and the south pole (with the quotient topology). Show that $X$ can be obtained from a square $[0,1]\times[0,1]$ by glueing some of the points on the boundary (note: you're not allowed to glue a point in the interior of the square to any other point). More precisely:

*

*Describe the equivalence relation $R_0$ on $S^2$ encoding the glueing that defines $X$.

*Make a picture of $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$.

*Describe an equivalence relation $R$ on $[0,1]\times[0,1]$ encoding a glueing with the required properties

*Show that, indeed, $X$ is homeomorphic to $[0,1]\times[0,1]/R$ (provide as many arguments as you can, but do not write down explicit maps- instead, indicate them on the picture).

My attempt:
1. Describe the equivalence relation $R_0$ on $S^2$ encoding the glueing that defines $X$.
I thought $R_0=\{(x,y)\in X\times X: [x=(0,0,1) \text{ and } y=(0,0,-1)] \text{ or } [x=(0,0,-1) \text{ and } y=(0,0,1)] \text{ or } [x=y]\}$. With this, $R_0$ defines an equivalencerelation, because it satisfies the axioms.
2. Make a picture of $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$.

I will describe my picture (it is not so pritty). I thought of it as a torus, but then without a hole in the middle. This is just where the north and south poles are glued together, a little bit like a node.
3. Describe an equivalence relation $R$ on $[0,1]\times[0,1]$ encoding a glueing with the required properties.
I thought of it as glueing the unit square as a torus, and then glueing two opposite boundaries of the unit square to one single point, as you can see in the picture (not my best picture, I must confess)

4. Show that, indeed, $X$ is homeomorphic to $[0,1]\times[0,1]/R$ (provide as many arguments as you can, but do not write down explicit maps- instead, indicate them on the picture).
I actually don't know what to do anymore to prove they are homeomorphic, you can see it in the picture, but I think I still have something to prove. Who can help me?

Powerful aftershock leaves one killed, 41 injured in Mindanao city
Powerful aftershock leaves one killed, 41 injured in Mindanao city /node/1063731/world
A house is seen partially damaged after an earthquake struck Surigao City in the southern island of Mindanao on Sunday. (AFP)
MANILA: One person was killed and 41 injured on Sunday when a powerful aftershock hit a southern Philippine city still recovering from a quake last month, authorities said.
The 5.9-magnitude quake struck the southern city of Surigao and surrounding areas, causing two houses and several walls to collapse, government seismologists and civil defense officers said.
A 65-year-old woman died of a heart attack while 41 people were treated for injuries mostly caused by falling objects, civil defense officials said.
The quake also knocked out power for several hours in the city of 152,000 people.
It was just one of over a hundred aftershocks to hit Surigao City on Mindanao island since a 6.5-magnitude quake on Feb. 10 left eight dead and over 250 injured.
Its epicenter was outside Surigao City in the same area as the epicenter of last month's tremor, the government seismology office said.
The Philippines lies on the so-called Ring of Fire, a vast Pacific Ocean region where many of the world's earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
Before the Feb. 10 quake, the last lethal one to hit the country was a 7.1-magnitude tremor that left over 220 people dead and destroyed historic churches when it struck the central islands in October 2013.
Bangladesh sentences 10 to death for 2001 political bombings /node/1615601/world
Six of the defendants sentenced to death have absconded
inHarkat-ul Jihad al-Islami's former chief Mufti Abdul Hannan was executed in 2017
DHAKA: A court in Bangladesh on Monday sentenced 10 members of a banned militant group to death for a bomb attack on a Communist Party rally in 2001.
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Court's Judge Mohammed Rabiul Alam made the order in a crowded courtroom while four of the defendants were in the dock. Six of the defendants sentenced to death have absconded. The court acquitted two others who fled. All of them belong to the banned group Harkat-ul Jihad Al-Islami.
The group considers the Communist Party an anti-Islamic force. On Jan. 20, 2001, bomb attacks on a party rally in Dhaka killed five people and wounded 50 others.
Alam said investigators found Harkat-ul Jihad al-Islami's former chief Mufti Abdul Hannan responsible for the party attack but his name was dropped from the case because he was executed in 2017. He was hanged for a separate case involving a grenade attack on a British high commissioner in Bangladesh.

Housing Affordability: Update and Proposal to H M Government PDF 208 KB
Gareth Bradford presented a report which updated the Board on the progress to date in developing a WMCA proposal for the region to deliver collectively on affordable and social housing with HM Government and a summary of the developments in housing policy and analysis supporting this approach. He reported on discussions, inter alia, with HM Government, registered providers and the Mayoral Homelessness Task Force on this matter.
Pat Willoughby assured the Board that the intention was not to set regional affordable housing targets with this responsibility remaining with Local Planning Authorities. She outlined the steps the WMCA Housing and Regeneration Team had taken with regard to developing the proposal to HM Government and explained the 'ask from' and 'offer to' HM Government.
Councillor Peter Bilson welcomed the 'ask from' and 'offer to' HM Government as detailed in paragraph 4.4 of the report and drew to the attention of the Board the work which was underway on the Walsall to Wednesbury (W2W) Corridor. He suggested that the more powers that were devolved by HM Government to the WMCA the more that could be delivered by the WMCA working with its local authority partners. The Chair reminded the Board that it was not the role of the WMCA to deliver but that this was the responsibility of the respective Local Planning Authorities.
Councillor Richard Overton commented on the absence of numbers of units to be delivered in the document and that whilst he welcomed the provision of affordable housing it should be possible to calculate these numbers by multiplying the number by the 20% limit. Pat Willoughby explained that the 20% was a minimum number with a higher figure being applied by certain Local Planning Authorities. The issue was that currently the 20% target was not being achieved.
Councillor Kieran Casey referred to Appendix 2 of the report (Defining housing affordability) and suggested that different definitions would need to be applied across the region. Councillor Ian Courts referred to paragraph 4.4 of the report inasmuch as it focussed on the development on Brownfield land, protecting Green belt and green field land where appropriate. Councillor Daren Pemberton commented that this particular part of the 'offer to' HM Government was difficult for the rural authorities insofar as there were very few, if any, Brownfield sites available for redevelopment. He suggested that this was likely to rule out the rural based authorities from contributing to the desired housing numbers. He advised that this definition needed to address to subtle nuances of the geography of the region and the urban : rural make up. Councillor Richard Overton suggested that the wording of the 'offer to' be revised to recognise this issue.
1. That the approach to delivering the affordable housing workstream as detailed in the report be agreed;
2. That the key elements of a potential affordable housing deal with HM Government as detailed in the report be agreed;
3. That the background evidence on progress and supply be noted;
4. The progress in developing ... view the full minutes text for item 40.
Town Centres Programme including Future High Streets Fund PDF 356 KB
Pat Willoughby presented a report which provided a summary of the WMCA Town Centre Programme which provided specifically an update on:
· Overall Programme;
· Status report on the five centres and 'quick wins';
· Regional Town Centre Task Force;
· Development of a town centres 'toolkit';
· The Government's Future High Streets Fund and the role of the WMCA in submitting bids;
· Next Steps.
She advised that the purpose of the report was to bring together the various strands and form a compendium of information on this particular initiative. She reminded the Board that the Housing and Regeneration Team was working with the respective local authorities on delivery plans for Phase 1 of the programme. Gareth Bradford referred to section 5 of the report inasmuch as it detailed the help and assistance which could be provided to all partner local authorities in driving forward the town centre regeneration initiative which would concentrate on interventions and renewal.
The Chair reported that the Local Government Association was investigating lobbying HM Government to remove Permitted Development Rights to prevent commercial premises being converted to residential usage without the benefit of planning permission. Councillor Daren Pemberton supported this move given that, without it, Local Planning Authorities could lose control over quality and space standards of newly introduced residential properties.
In response to a comment from Councillor Ian Courts regarding residential SPACE standards becoming smaller over time, Gareth Bradford advised the Board on discussions which had taken place at a recent meeting of the WMCA Investment Board with regard to the possible creation of Town Centre Investment and Delivery Plans for individual Town Centres. He referred the Board to paragraph 2.3 of the report which addressed this issue.
Councillor Richard Overton commented on the need to differentiate between 'High Streets' and Town Centres' which were markedly different in traditional rural market towns. He acknowledged the possible need for town centres to shrink in size for retail purposes. The Chair acknowledged this remark and that greater use could be made of the town centres to improve the leisure offer albeit that an overstretch of residential uses would only serve to diminish the appeal of both town centres and high streets.
Councillor Ian Courts commented on the need for lessons to be learnt in how hot food retailers continued to succeed in maintaining their presence. Gareth Bradford advised that some Local Planning Authorities had sought to use the powers under Article 4 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1971 to restrict the increase in the number of such establishments. He advised on the programme of engagement between the WMCA, local authorities and the Local Enterprise Partnerships in relation to the town centre workstream.
1. That the contents of the report and progress on the town centre programme be noted;
2. That it be noted that the report had been considered, and the broad contents endorsed, for submission to this Board by the Housing and Land Steering Group.
Regional Design Charter: Options and Next Steps PDF 198 KB
Pat Willoughby presented a report which provided a context for the preparation of a Regional Design Charter together with some thoughts on its purpose and application. She advised that the principle of securing improved design quality was a key part of the WMCA's role in housing delivery, inclusive growth and place-making and the preparation of a Regional Design Charter had been agreed as a key deliverable for 2019 previously.
She advised the Board that the message regarding the importance of the quality of design needed to be emphasised to the development industry and that the purpose of the Design Charter was to supplement, but not supersede or replace existing documents of individual Local Planning Authorities. It was not intended to be a code, framework or guideline but would be a document that the WMCA could refer to when financial assistance and/or land was sought by prospective developers. The Officer Working Group would continue to develop the Charter which would hopefully be published in summer 2019. The Chair referred to paragraph 3.2 of the report and emphasised that the Charter was in addition to existing design policy documents.
Councillor Daren Pemberton supported the development of the Charter but reminded the Board that this could not ever be considered to overrule the policy documents of Local Planning Authorities. He enquired as to the level of discussion required with the development industry. He also counselled caution against unintended consequences when prospective developers could attempt to use the Charter against the individual policy documents of Local Planning Authorities. Pat Willoughby explained that the Charter would contain general principles relating to place-making and improving the quality of life. She assured the Board that different characteristics would be applied across the region in order to acknowledge the subtle nuances as appropriate. The document would be non-statutory but capable of being classified AS A material planning consideration in the determination of planning applications.
Councillor Ian Courts suggested that the task was much bigger than was currently realised and commented that it be reduced to three core elements as follows:
· External design;
· Space standards; and
· Place-making – setting around houses.
He commented that there were responsibilities on the WMCA on an environmental front to ensure good quality design in order to protect health and wellbeing. Landowners needed to be influenced and persuaded of the need for good quality design with minimum standards being set by the WMCA, which in turn, could be reflected in the price of land and viability of development proposals. The Chair commented that if viability was prejudiced financial assistance could be provided by the WMCA.
Councillor Richard Overton commented that he supported any movement to define minimum standards and cited the example of some town centre developments which could be considered to be prejudicial to health and wellbeing. Gareth Bradford reported that there was a need to define 'high quality design' and on opportunities which could exist to showcase such developments.
1. That the proposed elements and application of a Regional Design Charter ... view the full minutes text for item 42.
Spatial Investment and Delivery Fund (SIDP) PDF 121 KB
2019.02.13 HLDB Revised SIDP (appendix to covering paper) - Public paper - FINAL , item 43. PDF 3 MB
Pat Willoughby presented a report which sought the Board's approval to the revisions to the Spatial Investment and Delivery Plan. She reported that the document had a target date for agreement in Quarter 1 of 2019 and had been identified by this Board as a key deliverable for the Portfolio in 2019. She informed the Board that the document was still to be subject to final editing with additional clarity to be provided on the role of the document and the geography of the Local Enterprise Partnerships.
Councillor Ian courts queried the relationship between the document and the geography of the various Housing Market Areas (HMA's) especially WITH REGARD to those local authority areas which were neither Constituent nor Non-Constituent Members of the WMCA. Pat Willoughby advised that the target of 215,000 additional housing units had been agreed previously and that it would be for individual Local Planning Authorities to make provision in their areas or to use the Duty to Co-Operate powers for provision in other local authority areas or the Housing Market Area. She reminded the Board that it was not the responsibility of the WMCA or the Spatial Investment and Delivery Plan (SIDP) to determine the distribution of these units.
1. That subject to final minor amendments, the revised Spatial Investment and Delivery Plan be approved (with previous iterations having been approved previously);
2. That delegated authority be granted to the Director of Housing and Regeneration (following further discussions with the Housing and Land Steering Group), in consultation with the Portfolio Lead for Housing and Land to agreed further minor revisions (provided that these does not change its sense nor purpose), the text for the executive summary and the design for publication;
One Public Estate (OPE): Augmenting the One Public Estate Programme PDF 151 KB
David Warburton presented a report which provided the Board with an update on recent work, led by the WMCA, on the One Public Estate Programme (OPE) and which outlined the aspirations for an enhanced scope of work which would take the strategy to a higher level, potentially providing the most ambitious single public estate programme in England and which would be a key tool for the West Midlands' pursuit of inclusive growth.
That the following aspects be noted:
· the current position on the One Public Estate Programme (OPE)
· the potential need for further swift responses to queries arising out of the recent OPE Stage 7 funding bid
· the proposed enhanced governance and programme management arrangements for the West Midlands OPE programme
· the aspiration to develop the programme into an ambitious single public estate programme, and
· the report had been considered, and the broad contents endorsed, for submission to this Board by the Housing and Land Steering Group.

That in accordance with Section 100(A) of the
Local Government Act, 1972 the press and
public be excluded from the meeting for the
following items of business as it involves the

Single Commissioning Framework (SCF)
View the reasons why item 46. is restricted
Gareth Bradford and David Warburton presented a report which provided the Board with an update on the development of a Single Commissioning Framework for housing and land funds and which detailed some principles proposed to underpin the framework which had been informed by the recent Housing and Land Delivery Board, investment Board, Housing and Land Steering Group and WMCA Board decisions, steers and conversations. Gareth Bradford emphasised the input which had been made by the WMCA inclusive Growth Unit.
Members of the Board indicated that they would prefer an opportunity to take from their respective Officers on the contents of the report before committing fully to the proposals. In acknowledging this request David Warburton confirmed that the Framework would not be implemented retrospectively and would not hinder, fetter or slow down existing or pipeline schemes.
Councillor Kieran Casey commended the report especially the references to the use of modular buildings, youth employment initiatives, inclusive growth and locally sources technologies. Councillor Richard Overton suggested that a reference to providing local jobs for local people be added to the document.
Councillor Ian Courts referred to the ambitions for a commercially minded approach with a return being sought on investments and advised that sufficient time might need to be allowed for a return to be generated. He asked as to any perceived difficulties with commitments and cash flow planning. Gareth Bradford acknowledged that not all investments would generate a return but that the intention was that a return be generated from the overall programme. He acknowledged that the wording in paragraph 3.12 could be strengthened.
Karl Tupling referred to paragraph 3.16 of the report and suggested that the WMCA should be ambitious in seeking funding from national funding sources. He reported that with regard to risk and exposure, Homes England was now taking a more robust approach in 'knowing your customer' and that such information could be shared with partners.
The Board received a PowerPoint presentation from Councillor Peter Bilson on work being undertaken on the Walsall to Wolverhampton (W2W) corridor.
That subject to a period of grace of seven to ten days for further comments on the Single Commissioning Framework with comments being forwarded to Gareth Bradford;
a) The progress on the funding workstream be noted;
b) The key operational principles proposed in the report be endorsed subject to the amendments detailed above;
c) It be noted that the report had been considered, and the broad contents endorsed, for submission to this Board by the Housing and Land Steering Group.
Town Centre Investment Package
Pat Willoughby presented a report which updated the Board on the steps underway to implement the first phase of the Town Centre Investment Package. She reported that a variation of the report had been presented to and approved by the WMCA Investment Board at its meeting held on 18 February 2019.
1. That a bespoke package of 'quick win' and land infrastructure interventions as identified on the report in the five wave one town centres be approved;
2. That the acquisitions and interventions proposed in the report had (as with all WMCA acquisitions and interventions under this programme) been developed in collaboration with and supported expressly by the relevant local authorities.


Cricket rivalries have been an integral part of the game of cricket. The Indo-Caribbean rivalry is very old, going back to the 1960s when players like Vinoo Mankad, Frank Worrell, Lala Amarnath, and others dominated the stage. India won the first Test series against the West Indies by 1-0 in 1971. Ajit Wadekar led the team that time, and it became famous because Sunil Gavaskar made his debut. He scored 774 runs in four Test matches at an average of 154.
In the 1980s, players like Vivian Richards, Malcolm Marshall, Azharuddin, Kapil Dev, and others dominated the India-West Indies series with their performances. Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara marked the emergence of the new age players and in the 1990s and early 2000s players like Javagal Srinath, Rahul Dravid, Carl Hooper, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, and others dominated the scene.
West Indies is touring India for two Tests, and the time is ripe to inform the readers about the top five Indians with the highest Test runs against the West Indies.
Dilip Vengsarkar was a fine middle-order batsman who could play shots all around the park. His cover-drives and on-drives were marvelous. He made his debut in 1976 and was always an integral part of the Indian team until he retired.
One of his best innings against the West Indies came in 1983 at Delhi. Batting against the likes of Malcolm Marshall, Michael Holding, and Winston Davis, he plundered them all around the stadium to score 159 runs.
Overall, Vengsarkar played 25 Test matches against the West Indies and scored 1596 runs at an average of 44.33. This comprised 6 centuries and 7 half-centuries.


16th Annual Chatham-Kent Retrofest was a Huge Success!
This years 16th Annual Retrofest 2018 began with the OLG Classic Car Cruise on Friday evening May 25/2017. The cars assembled at the Bradley Centre on Richmond St. at 4 P.M. and left for the Parade route at 6 P.M. It was hot, sunny and beautiful evening for the event. My wife and I walked around the parking lot at the Bradley Centre, enjoying the cars and talking to the owners. We had a ringside seat for the start of the parade as the cars filed out onto Richmond St. Last year there were over 700 Classic Cars and it seemed there were even more this year. The Parade Route was different this year and there were signs to direct the participants. Those lucky enough to live along the parade route often host a barbeque for family and friends. It is such a fun evening. The cars proceed to Historic Downtown Chatham's King St. where some cruise the drag and then park to enjoy the many downtown pubs and restaurants.
These special automobiles started to line up on Chatham's Historic King St. Saturday morning as early as 5 A.M. to get the prime parking places. Festivities on the street and in Tecumseh Park were scheduled from 9 A.M. until 5 P.M. The whole downtown was a real hub-bub of activity. It is always so nice to see people turn out in such great numbers for this special Annual Classic Car Event and the first of many in Chatham-Kent for this summer. Visitors are able to get a close up look at these special cars dating back to 1990 and earlier and talk to the proud owners who are more than willing to share the history of their prize possessions. There was entertainment and food on the street. Tecumseh Park was crowded as there are many activities for the children. The many merchandise and food vendors were busy. If for some reason, you missed this year, make sure you clear your calendar for next year. You won't be disappointed.
Remember, Chatham-Kent is host to many Classic Car Events each summer. 2015 was the 100th Anniversary of the Gray -Dort Automobile and one weekend showcased these fine automobiles. We even had overseas guests. These Classic Cars were manufactured here in Chatham from 1915-1925. During that time 26,000 vehicles came off the line and the 1919 Gray-Dort Touring Car has been named a National Treasure of Canada. The Company was the brain child of William Gray of Chatham and his partner J. Dallas Dort of Flint Michigan.
One of Chatham-Kent's Newer Classic Car Events is Cars and Coffee at RM Restoration just outside of Chatham. There are two Saturday Mornings, May 5 and June 9 from 8-11 A.M. for an impromptu car show.The first 250 visitors get free coffee and donuts. RM Classic Car Exhibit has over 60 rare and valuable restored vehicles for visitors to view. There is a guided tour of this ever changing display to enlighten and inform spectators and to allow them to get the most out of this amazing display of one of the world's finest car collections.

What is Native Advertising?
January 11, 2016 /in General /by DCG
I've written a thorough overview of native advertising on LinkedIn, but let's look at one example.
For most situations, longer-form native advertising (I'm not talking about Google or Twitter ads) is:
A directly paid opportunity – Native advertising is "pay to play." Brands pay for the placement of content on platforms outside of their own media.
Usually information based – The content is useful, interesting, and highly targeted to a specific audience. In all likelihood, it's not a traditional advertisement directly promoting the company's product or service.
This is where native advertising looks a bit like content marketing. The information is usually highly targeted (hopefully) and positioned as valuable. But again, in native advertising, you are renting someone else's content distribution platform (just like advertising), except that you aren't pimping a product or service.
Delivered in stream. The user experience is not disrupted with native advertising because it is delivered in a way that does not impede the user's normal behavior in that particular channel.
Brands want their native advertising to look as similar as possible to the third-party site's content. Though the media company wants that too (because it's easier to sell that way), it also has to put out a multitude of warning labels around the content to make sure the paid placement is 100% transparent.
To summarize, native advertising doesn't disrupt the user experience and offers helpful information in a format similar to the other content on the site so users engage with it more than they would with, say, a banner ad. (This is good for advertisers, and if the content is truly useful, good for consumers.) In very simple terms, native advertising is one way content marketers can distribute their content.
