Skjold's review"Worth the money"
First of all, this is not a multiFX board for the beginner, but more for the guitarist, who has found his or her sound, but wants to adress the issue of tapdancing on a stompbox pedalboard.
It must be said though, that this is some really high quality effects, you buy with this multiFX board. It contains all of the effects you might need in a normal situation (filters, modulation, delay, reverb, compressor, gate, EQ and a tuner), but no ovedrive/distortion effects since these has been notoriously difficult to create digitally and in general sound rather cheap. Most guitarists also have their own unique sound, when it comes to overdrive and distortion effects.
Each category of effect has its own button on the board, which makes it really easy to find the effect you need and also makes it easy to get an overview of what you actually have turned on in a preset.
The G-system utilizes a combination of TS (unbalanced) and TRS (balanced) 1/4" Jack connections, which also provides several ways to hook up the G-system to your amp. You have a choice of running all the effects in front of the pre-amp, some effects after the pre-amp or in a four cable method, where the G-system automatically runs post pre-amp effects (e.g delay and reverb) in the loop.
It would take to long to describe how it all is connected in a review, so head on over to Youtube and do a search on the four cable method - there are lots of videos out there.
Even though the G-system has a MIDI connection option, it can only transmit on a single channel. This is kind of a downside, but at the same time it should not be necessary to run with external devices, as almost every kind of effect is present.
Since the board does not have any overdrive or distortion effects, you need to hook it up with those effects. The board comes with four loops that you can plug you own favorite pedals into. Three of them are switchable from the board and the forth has the be programmed in.
The G-system is a combination of analog and digital effects, and therefore have multiple analog to digital conversions in the signal chain. It is rackable, so that you can have the effect brain near your amp, and only the control board up front.
Third party software is available to do editing (both MAC and PC), but is not supported by TC Electronic.
In general, it's easy to edit and program presets. It takes a little getting used to, but once you get the basics down, you should have no problem creating your own presets.
You can go really creative with your presets and hook up expression pedals assigned to different parameters, even the same expression pedal to several parameters at once. But this is a little more advanced and takes a bit of reading in the manual and "The White Paper" from the TC user to user forum.
As mentioned earlier, you can hook it up straight to you amp, so setup is really simple. But you can also go the opposite way, and do the four cable method.
You need to be able to edit your effects using either numbers or close your eyes and listen. Unlike traditional stompbox pedals, where you just turn a knob until it sounds right - that's not possible with a multiFX board. So keep that in mind.
Sound quality is nothing short of perfect! Considering that it is a combination of analog and digital effects. When you have setup the board so that the input and output volumes are as close as possible to each other, then you can't hear it's there. All effects bypassed and it sounds like you plug it straight into the amp.
My favorite effect must be the tape delay and the detune pitch, which behaves somewhat like a static chorus effect.
Everything is crisp and clear with this unit. But why would you expect anything less then that, when it is produced by TC Electronic and has a price tag like it does?!
A great multiFX board for the semi-pro and pro guitarist, who plays music for a living. I would certainly not recommend it for the bedroom guitarist, who's looking for a new set of effects.
If mine got stolen or broke down, then I would get a new one for sure.
- Great sounding effect
- Easy setup
- Rather complex menus

This grant provides funding to the Ocracoke Foundation, Inc. (OFI) to install a wastewater system at the Community Square development, which is located in the Town of Ocracoke and owned by OFI. Community Square houses nine locally-owned businesses and two docks that serve four maritime businesses. Lack of modern wastewater hinders sustainability and expansion of business activity at the site. Having a wastewater system will result in the creation of new full-time and part-time jobs and additional hours of operation for some businesses which will benefit existing employees. A wastewater system will also leverage loan options and donor support for the entire Community Square revitalization project. Golden LEAF funds will be used for the wastewater system.


The following comes from a May 17, 1927 edition of the Portsmouth Daily Times of Portsmouth, Ohio.
Steubenville, O., May 17 - The work of erecting a new bridge spanning the Ohio river between here and Weirton, W. Va. and connecting with the Lincoln and National highways and Pittsburgh, was actually begun today by the Dravo Construction company, Pittsburgh. A new road on the West Virginia side will be built at once.
Steubenville, O., Aug. 29 - Three states today joined hands in the formal dedicatory ceremonies of Fort Steuben Bridge spanning the Ohio river between Steubenville and Hollidays Cove, W. Va.
As a part of the ceremonies, a motor parade rolled over the newly constructed bridge, initiating it as a direct highway between this district and Pittsburgh and linking up a Metropolitan population exceeding 120,000.
City, county and state officials from the tri-state territory as well as prominent industrial and financial leaders and visitors from Pittsburgh, eastern Ohio and West Virginia, gathered here to participate in the dedication.
Honors for the serving of the traffic barrier ribbons are in the hands of Miss Margaret Collins of Steubenville, representing "Miss Ohio" and Miss Helen Cattrell of Holidays Cove, representing "Miss West Virginia."
Congressman frank Murphy of the Eighteenth Ohio district chairmanned the committee in charge of the ceremonies. Meyers Cooper, Republican nominee for governor in Ohio; Martin L. Davey, Democratic nominee for governor and Congressman Carl Bachmann of Wheeling participated in the exercises.
The bridge which was constructed by the Dravo Contracting company of Pittsburgh, cost $1,000,000. It is the only bridge on the Ohio river with a concrete floor.
The bridge had been closed for several years before finally being demolished on February 21, 2012.

Steps and sidesteps on Roos
by Editorial November 10, 2015 January 28, 2021
No one ever thought that expanding the park on Harrison Street was going to be easy. After many steps, sidesteps and a couple of steps backward, here is where things stand now as we head into the winter.
Larry Piekarz, executive director of the Park District of Forest Park, said Monday that the essential step of remediating the soil under the former and now demolished Roos Building has been completed.
That a 97-year-old industrial plant had a portion of its site contaminated was no surprise. In fact, the surprise likely was how contained the contamination was – a 30-by-50-foot area near the former loading dock – and that the contaminants had not migrated beyond that limited area.
On the long list of convincing voters back in 2010 to raise their taxes to pay for this project, using both patience and wrestling skills to pry this property loose from a series of banks bouncing the title through a prolonged foreclosure process, making the purchase at a good price, the soil remediation is another milestone. The park district now waits for a "no further remediation" letter from the Environmental Protection Agency.
So what is next? Well, here come the sidesteps and backsteps.
The initial plan was to renovate the handsome and spacious Roos Cedar Chest factory building. While it was clear that years of active neglect had taken a toll on the structure, it was still something of a shock when a 2013 storm took out a portion of the north wall and led to the emergency demolition of the entire building. In retrospect, that may have been a blessing. Our heart says preserve. But retrofitting that building on a taxpayer-mandated tight budget was almost certain to provide unhappy discoveries.
Now the site is nearly clear – a portion of the original foundation must still be dug out and hauled away. But key portions of funding construction of a new park building on the site are now caught up in the combination of the state's miserable financial status and the disturbing fight by our elected statewide officials over what to do about it.
Nearly $800,000 promised to Forest Park in state distributed, but federally funded, grants created specifically to fund the expansion of open space in communities are now frozen by Gov. Bruce Rauner. That's money that the park district won by making a convincing case to state officials. Rauner now holds that money hostage in the ongoing nonsense in Springfield. Since the money came from the feds, is specifically targeted for one purpose and cannot be spent to pay off pensions or fuel up state troopers squad cars, we assume that eventually these funds will be released.
So, as Piekarz says, the park board faces one more tough decision. Demonstrate more patience and turn the vacant site into a temporary field while waiting for state government to regain its senses. Or roll the dice, take on major debt and start building in 2016.
Our vote would be for patience. Slow and steady has gotten the park district this far.

Is it a natural right?
Abortion Feminism
Abortion Statism
Fox-Genovese betrays her allegiance when she claims that
most Americans willingly acknowledged that easily available, publicly funded abortion would deter society from punishing women whose new sexual opportunities led them into a mistake.
Publicly funded, huh? Let me use the standard labels for a bit.
Liberals claim that conservatives practice repression: they aren't satisfied with just leading righteous lives, as they see it, themselves and avoid abortions; they want to force women who do not subscribe to their moral view also not to have abortions.
Yet here we have liberals not only wanting conservatives to endure the sight of dead babies in their midst but also pay for killing them!
How are liberals not repressive, the very vice they accuse conservatives of?
By Dmitry Chernikov, 11 years June 14, 2011 ago
Abortion Feminism Races and Nations
Abortion for Blacks?
Fox-Genovese points out: "Planned Parenthood still reminds potential contributors about how much the pregnancies of poor unmarried women cost taxpayers, suggesting that the wide availability of birth control and abortion will reduce the bill." Well, let's spell it out, shall we, lest there be any confusion. This is obviously about blacks. Liberals view the spread of blacks as a natural disaster, like plague of locusts. Is that reasonable? I don't know, but that abortion has been justified as a measure to prune the black population is certainly true. The steps from permitting black women to abort their children to forcing them to abort to, finally, sterilizing them seem to follow naturally.
The most ridiculous thing is that this despotic and inhuman ideology could have been avoided, if we had economic laissez-faire. For under freedom, everyone is responsible for their own children. There are ruthless market incentives against irresponsible sex.
So, first, liberals chose to give (other people's) money to women for having illegitimate children out of "compassion." The psychology of races is such that blacks were encouraged to have many more such children than whites. Black fathers were often much stricter with their daughters than white fathers with theirs, and for a good reason. In the end, they couldn't save the situation. Mix in the drug war, the black guys' naturally greater violent tendencies (hey, as Kramer said in Seinfeld, "Mother nature is a mad scientist"), especially when fatherless, and we have our locusts.
The liberals were horrified by this. Of course, coercive "compassion" had to stay. Still, liberals became "concerned about overpopulation by 'poor' and 'minority' children." Since we live in a scientific age (especially in which the government is imagined to be able to successfully manage the economy), their second step was to attempt to find methods to stem the tide of black bastards, so that "they" would not supplant "us." And we wonder why some blacks think the CIA is selling crack in their communities!
"Culture of Death"
As follows from the previous note, not using man-made contraceptives entails a "pro-life" attitude, a state of mind that affirms humanity. It's a healthy philosophy of life or ideology, as wholesome as libertarianism is compared to evil conservatism and stupid left-liberalism.
When John Paul II mentioned the culture of death with respect to contraceptives, he is to be understood in a sense different from such a culture with respect to abortion. This is because for birth control, children are never conceived in the first place and therefore, cannot die. The Pope was referring to the death of the human race.
Perpetuation of the species is a different thing altogether from individual search for happiness. Sometimes the two are in conflict, and when such is the case, the conflict must be wisely resolved.
It is certainly true that any single person's decisions regarding his own procreation cannot be held responsible for the fate of the human race. If we are to go extinct, this particular Smith was not the cause of it. Therefore, again, using NFP in married life is a matter of piety, of something given to God according to justice, in God's capacity as an authority over His most valuable creation, the human race. Smith will not bring about the continuation of our species, but he will at least practice what he preaches.

Re: City Without an Abortion Clinic
Oh, so it's not Ok with left-liberals to regulate abortion clinics out of existence!
Leftists become quite the economists when their favorite freedoms are under attack.
How inconsistent with their love of economic red tape everywhere else.
By Dmitry Chernikov, 7 years July 3, 2015 ago
I'm giving both sides of the abortion debate, in their fiery fervor, a cold bath of reason.
Come swim under the ice and see this important issue in a new and clear light.

Morphology is the study of the internal structure of words and forms a core part of linguistic study today.
The term morphology is Greek and is a makeup of morph- meaning 'shape, form', and -ology which means 'the study of something'.
Morphology as a sub-discipline of linguistics was named for the first time in 1859 by the German linguist August Schleicher who used the term for the study of the form of words.
do not depend on other words.
The man looked at the horses.
The horses looked at the man.
– What is the man looking at? – Horses.
Words are thus both independent since they can be separated from other words and move around in sentences, and the smallest units of language since they are the only units of language for which this is possible.
SIMPLE WORDS: Don't have internal structure (only consist of one morpheme) eg work, build, run. They can't be split into smaller parts which carry meaning or function.
COMPLEX WORDS: Have internal structure (consist of two or more morphemes) eg worker: affix -er added to the root work to form a noun.
Morphemes are the smallest meaning-bearing units of language.
Free morpheme: a simple word, consisting of one morpheme eg house, work, high, chair, wrap. They are words in themselves.
Bound morpheme: morphemes that must be attached to another morpheme to receive meaning.
UN- and -NESS are the bound morphemes, requiring the root KIND to form the word.

Q: C# Control a Menu strip in a form from a usercontrol in the form I have a windows form application the has a Form(form1) a menustrip(menustrip1) and a usercontrol(usercontrol1). I have the code written that loads the user control into the form like this.
    UserControl1 UC = new UserControl1();
    UC.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
    this.Controls.Clear();
    UC.Controls.Add(menuStrip1);
    this.Controls.Add(UC);

Then when the UC is loaded I want to add menu items and handle their events. The problem is when I use this code to add Items it doesn't work but doesn't error out. Am I doing it wrong or can I simply not interact with the menustrip in this manner.
menuStrip1.Items.Remove(fileToolStripMenuItem);
ToolStripMenuItem Save = new ToolStripMenuItem("Save", null,             saveToolStripMenuItem_Click);
fileToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItems.Add(Save);

A: Gunnerone had it. Keep the menu strip and all events in the form. add menu items related to the specific user control at menustripclick. In the UC call define a public method for the action and just call it from the form. This was simple, I keep overthinking this.

A: Totally disagree with your approach...
Assuming "menuStrip1" was dropped on the main form and had that exact name,  when you add it to your UserControl you can access it "by name" like this in the Load() event:
    private void UserControl1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MenuStrip menu = this.Controls["menuStrip1"] as MenuStrip;

        ToolStripMenuItem File = new ToolStripMenuItem("File", null, fileToolStripMenuItem_Click);
        menu.Items.Add(File);
        ToolStripMenuItem Save = new ToolStripMenuItem("Save", null, saveToolStripMenuItem_Click);
        File.DropDownItems.Add(Save);
    }

Also is there a way to add to the existing file that comes in with the tool strip menu or do i have to start it from scratch?
Assuming "File" was placed on the main menu already and named exactly "fileToolStripMenuItem", this would be done quite similarly to the already accepted code above.  Instead of accessing this.Controls(), however, we'd access menu.Items() like this:
        MenuStrip menu = this.Controls["menuStrip1"] as MenuStrip;
        ToolStripMenuItem File = menu.Items["fileToolStripMenuItem"] as ToolStripMenuItem;

        ToolStripMenuItem Save = new ToolStripMenuItem("Save", null, saveToolStripMenuItem_Click);
        File.DropDownItems.Add(Save);

What Perfect Cell Figure Is This?
I got it in a small lot, and I'm not sure what company made it. I found a single image of it on Google, but it didn't say the manufacturer or anything.
I'm guessing he meant knock off, in other words bootleg. I was thinking real works as well, but I don't know much about that line.
The only marking I see are the numbers "02508" on his back shoulder, you can barely see it in those pictures, but it's clearly visible.
Definitely Real Works or a bootleg of the Real Works figure.
Real Works bootlegs are typically sloppy. For whatever reason several legit Real Works figures have silver numbers on their shoulders so it's probably legit. It's still missing pieces though, so doesn't matter much. Make a tail and sculpt some new details and sell it on eBay as Semiperfect Cell!
It's definitely not sloppy, it's a nice figure. I'm gonna hold onto it, I like it I wish I could find the wings for him though.

The Cleveland Stars were an American soccer club based in Cleveland, Ohio and a member of the American Soccer League in 1972–73. Before the 1974 season, the name was changed to the Cleveland Cobras.

Overview
The Stars' colors were blue and white. The Cobras' colors were green and gold, though in 1979 they also wore alternate uniforms of gold/black and in 1981 often donned green/white uniforms.

The Cobras actively promoted youth soccer. Hundreds of clinics and camps conducted by its players established a solid youth soccer base throughout northeast Ohio — though the club did not play long enough to reap the benefits of the kids growing up to becoming ticket-buying adults. The Cleveland Force (1978–88) and Cleveland Crunch/Force (1989–2005) indoor soccer teams capitalized with good crowds in the Major Indoor Soccer League and National Professional Soccer League.

The Cobras played home games on AstroTurf at George Finnie Stadium on the campus of Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio. A few exhibition games were played at Cleveland Stadium. Each season, ownership brought top international clubs to town for "friendly" matches. Among those were the national teams of Poland, Israel and Canada, Cork Hibernians F.C. and Sligo Rovers F.C (Ireland), GKS Tychy and Arka Gdynia (Poland), Beitar Jerusalem F.C. and Hapoel Jerusalem F.C. (Israel), Eintracht Braunschweig and VfB Oldenburg (Germany) and Partizan Belgrade (Serbia).

Management, consisting of local businessmen of moderate wealth who were soccer aficionados, tried to make up for a lack of finances with an abundance of enthusiasm. The club annually brought in numerous players from the largely ethnic Lake Erie Soccer League, which included among its many teams Belgrade United, Canton Hercules, Cleveland Inter, Cleveland Sannitics, Croatian Rebels, Donauschwaben Concordia, German Central Jets, German Kickers, Greek Olympic, Hrvat Knights, Hungarian Hunters, Karadjordje Stars, Latvian Hawks, Lazio Romans, Pan American Bulls, Polish Red Sox, Ukrainian Lions, Umoja Tigers, Warren Hellenics and Zagreb Rams.

Though highly skilled, the melting pot of LESL imports often proved to be as combative as they were competitive, at times failing to put aside their fierce nationalist loyalties. It made it difficult for the Cobras to mesh into a cohesive unit when players would not pass the ball to a new teammate, instead carrying a grudge borne from previous play in the LESL.

The Cobras' long-time general manager was Dr. John P. Gyekenyesi, a native of Hungary who grew up on Cleveland's east side, earned his doctorate at Michigan State University, and has been an aerospace researcher at NASA for more than 35 years. In the Cobras' instance, you really did need a rocket scientist to run the team. Dr. Gyekenyesi had been president of the LESL before joining the Cobras.

Though the club was generally underfinanced, it had future wealth right in its locker room without realizing it in 1980. The 18-year-old son of Cleveland businessman Al Lerner expressed interest in sports and his father figured it would be good for the youngster to start at the bottom. Randy Lerner served as the Cobras' equipment manager, a glorified term for a locker-room assistant who picked up soiled towels and jerseys and did all sorts of mundane tasks. Randy Lerner succeeded his father as chairman of MBNA, owner of the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League, and later became chairman of the Aston Villa Football Club.

After the 1981 season, Cobras ownership sold its ASL rights to a group that moved the club to Atlanta, Georgia as the Georgia Generals.

Help in Dying
This article was written before the Liberal government introduced Bill C-14, on assisted dying. On April 14, 2016 the Liberal government introduced the assisted dying bill. It is more restrictive than what the parliamentary committee that studied the matter proposed and may conceivably fail to meet the criteria outlined by the Supreme Court.
The bill would not provide the option of the procedure to "mature minors". It would not permit advance directives, for example in the case of dementia, so a person could not say that at a specific stage of the dementia the option could be taken. And there will be a 15 day waiting period from the time of a request. The bill's restrictions may or may not withstand court challenges.
One is reminded of Colorado's abortion law in 1967, the first in the United States to permit the procedure. It was highly restrictive. Advocates would call it a bad bill. Yet, it opened the door. In many ways that might be the same that could be said of the Liberal government bill.
Jocelyn Downie, Dalhousie University professor of law and medicine, told an audience on Parliament Hill on February 23 that they picked an auspicious time for her lecture on "The Future of Assisted Death in Canada."
After all, it was only three days later that Parliament's Special Joint Committee on Physician-Assisted Dying was to issue its report. Her lecture was under the auspices of the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences. Interestingly, the committee report cites her views in several places.
Her remarks on the Tuesday found many echoes in the report released on that Thursday. For example, she said that there needs to be an expansion of palliative care, so that people have the choice of a meaningful alternative. She noted that Belgium increased palliative care at the same time that it was making assisted dying available.
Who should have access to medically assisted death? She listed some possibilities: Only the terminally ill? Minors? The mentally ill? What about the criterion of competence? In the Carter case, the Supreme Court spoke only of adults, but what of competent minors?
The committee addressed all of these issues. No, the person need not be terminally ill. Carter, which established a right to assisted dying, said that the person requesting the aid would be one who "has a grievous and irremediable medical condition (including an illness, disease, or disability) that causes enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual in the circumstances of his or her condition." That is broader than terminally ill and the committee's report is in accord.
Downie emphasized the criterion of mental capacity rather than chronological age, and the committee proposed that such a criterion should come into place three years down the road. The committee came to that position in spite of the fact that the Supreme Court spoke only of adults. She also said that mental illness should not automatically be excluded as a condition, and again the committee agreed. In the case of mental illness, she said, "Capacity can be difficult to establish, but that can be true of physical illness as well."
The issue of advance directives was discussed by Downie and addressed as well by the committee. The committee agreed that a person might, while competent, opt for aid in dying when his condition deteriorated to a given point. That position might create an undesirable situation. Let's take a hypothetical case. John Doe prepares an advance directive indicating that if he is incontinent and no longer knows his or his wife's name, it is time for death. However, at the time for the injection to be given, he resists. He may not be competent but may still want to live. There is no doubt that a competent person has the right to change his mind about assisted dying, but what of the person who while competent decides on something about which when now incompetent he no longer can?
When we read Carter, it appeared to us that the Court was opening the door to a Kevorkian position: you want it, you get it. After all, the suffering "is intolerable to the individual." Downie corrected us, parsing the decision more carefully, as did the committee. First of all, the "condition must be grievous and irremediable." Only then does the individual's choice come into the picture. Irremediable is pretty clear, but grievous leaves a lot to individual judgment, and apparently not the judgment of the person involved. In any case, as Downie explained, "It will not be a free-for-all."
While the committee favors an opt-out for physicians who have a conscientious objection, the committee nevertheless insists that at a minimum the doctor must make an effective referral for the service to be provided.
The oversight body would verify proper compliance, do research, and provide public education.
Not mentioned either by Downie or by the committee is the Oregon model, wherein the person is given a prescription for a fatal dose. The person takes the dose when he is ready. Oregon figures for 2015 found 218 prescriptions issued, but only 132 of these were used. While the Oregon model would not serve in all cases in Canada, as some cases would involve people incapable of self-administering the drug, the option for those who are capable might serve as an alternative for those choosing it.
In any case, the Canadian Supreme Court no longer leaves open the question of whether or not there should be assisted dying. As Downie said, "The question is not if, but how."

US officials to visit Turkish-American NASA researcher jailed in Turkey
US consular officials were given permission to visit Turkish-American dual citizen and NASA researcher Serkan Gölge, who has been held for 15 months in İskenderun Prison, the T24 news website reported on Tuesday.
According to the report the US Embassy said it had been given access to Gölge for the first time since his incarceration, on Oct. 17.
The embassy was also asked by T24 if they had visited other prisoners connected to them including Hamza Ulucay, a local employee of the US Consulate in Adana, and American pastor Andrew Brunson. The embassy reportedly said that "[we] have been given permission to pay visits to all US citizens [in Turkish prisons]."
US Consulate in Adana Principal Officer Linda Specht was present as an observer at a hearing in Gölge's case on Oct. 13.
Gölge went to the US to do a Ph.D. in physics in 2003 and settled there. Last year when he came with his wife and children to the southern Turkish province of Hatay to visit his family, he was detained on allegations of being a CIA agent and a follower of the faith-based Gülen movement, which is accused by the Turkish government of orchestrating a failed coup on July 15, 2016.
The prosecutor has submitted as evidence in the case a statement by an anonymous informant, a Bank Asya bank account belonging to Gölge and a one dollar bill found in his brother's room. Dollar bills are considered by the Turkish government to be a secret sign of connections to Pennsylvania-based Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen, who is blamed for the coup attempt in Turkey, a charge he strongly denies.
Gölge denied in his Oct. 13 hearing that the one dollar bill belonged to him. Regarding the account in a bank linked to the Gülen movement, he said he has accounts in other banks as well, including Kuveyt Turk, as he prefers whichever bank pays the highest interest. Gölge denied membership in the "FETÖ" organization, a derogatory term used by the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan regime to refer to the Gülen movement.
Before his arrest, Gölge had been working as a senior researcher at NASA as part of a project of landing humans on the moon. Gölge has been kept in solitary confinement in Iskenderun Prison in southern Turkey for a year.
Turkey's Justice Ministry announced on July 13 that 50,510 people have been arrested and 169,013 have been the subject of legal proceedings on coup charges since the failed coup.
Turkey has suspended or dismissed more than 150,000 civil servants, including governors, judges, prosecutors, teachers, soldiers and police, since July 15 through government decrees issued as part of the state of emergency.

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, LIFE SCIENCES AND NATURAL RESOURCES
EDUCATION | RESEARCH | EXTENSION
UW students overcome internet, cell reception obstacles to participate in courses
BY Steve Miller
Ty Paisley points to a stereo he installed. He links his smart phone to the stereo via Bluetooth and listens to lectures while working.
An academic landscape routed by coronavirus has agriculture students at the University of Wyoming adopting a Marine-like improvise, adapt and overcome attitude.
Undergraduate student Ty Paisley north of Wheatland is listening to courses via podcast through Bluetooth in a tractor while working because COVID-19 doesn't stop winter turning to spring and pastures needing harrowing.
Livestock judging team member Courtney Newman outside Fort Collins and other team members are honing skills via online livestock judging contests because all live contests were cancelled.
Animal and veterinary sciences freshman Kiley Stevens in Juneau, Alaska, is taking advantage of group chats to keep up with her assignments.
Graduate student Kelly Woodruff obtained a research exemption to conduct research near Laramie so every two hours she checks cows ready to calve for research data, because cows ready to calve don't know UW has put in place research restrictions due to coronavirus safety concerns.
They're only a few examples of how College of Agriculture and Natural Resources students are handling the changes when COVID-19 whacked their academic landscapes.

UW required most classes and laboratories be offered online, live or recorded.
Woodruff's research subjects are at the beef unit of the Laramie Research and Extension Center. She suctions stomach fluid from newborn calves before they nurse, studying the effects of cow nutrient restriction on the developing calf biome. The cocktail is rich with bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. Woodruff's adviser, Hannah Hollinger in the Department of Animal Science, is interested in the development of the calf microbiome and whether the microbiome is different in a nutrient-restricted cow and how the restricted nutrient diet affects development of the calf.
Woodruff said she is thankful for the ability to continue her research. "Cows only calve once a year, and I can't pick this up in a couple of months," she said. "We are maintaining all social distancing guidelines."
Calving started the end of March and will probably end the last of April or early May.
Paisley has had to work around very limited internet and cell service. He said he and his high school siblings are using a hotspot with their phones to complete coursework.
"I try to tune into classes when I can," said Paisley, majoring in animal science with a business concentration and a minor in ag business. "With nice spring days, I can't wait on classes. I also work quite a bit on studies at night."
The entire Paisley family wrestles the changes wrought by COVID-19. Steve Paisley, an associate professor and the UW Extension beef specialist, teaches classes in animal science. He noted he has one student who is driving to a McDonald's parking lot for internet to participate in his class.
Ty Paisley has the Zoom app on his phone and had installed a stereo in a tractor years ago. He listens to lectures and watches Zoom presentations while working.
Courtney Newman
"I'm trying to get harrowing done, and everything is dry right now, the right time to do it," he said, prior to recent snowstorms that blanketed Wyoming. "I've got everything linked through. I've listened to a couple lectures and in the morning when I'm feeding I can listen to them, too."
The Paisleys are also in the middle of calving, and he checks cows during the day and a couple times at night so his father, director of the James C. Hageman Sustainable Agriculture Research Extension Center near Lingle, can get some sleep before he has to go to work, a 45-minute drive.
Stevens in Alaska's capital city said she writes down all due dates of assignments in a planner to stay on top of her classes.
She has good internet and cell service. Juneau is two hours behind Mountain Time.
"I also do my best to watch the lecture videos for all of my classes on the day I normally would if I were attending class," Stevens said. "This way I keep myself to a normalized schedule."
Group chats with classmates are important. Classes include statistics, animal biology, general chemistry 2 and a first year seminar course.
"Having group chats with people in the various classes helps all of us work out things we don't understand, and it helps us not miss deadlines," she said.
Newman is having to deal with livestock but in a much different way. Members of UW's highly touted livestock judging team have had to convert to online judging contests instead of their usual on-location judging competitions. Team members also help at 4-H and FFA judging events during summer, but some of those are also cancelled.
The agricultural business and economics major lives outside Fort Collins but still runs into internet issues.
"It's not great," she said. "We are lucky to have a couple options. We can go into town where my parents still work by themselves. If we do need good internet, we can get by."
Newman is taking six courses, some recorded and one Zoom. She likes the Zoom live presentations but also the flexibility of having lectures recorded.
Newman and other livestock judging team members have competed in one online contest to date, open to anyone in livestock judging from 4-H through collegiate levels. Videos of four animals (goats, hogs, sheep and cattle) are posted on YouTube. Each contestant has 30 minutes to look at the class then video record and post their reasons to YouTube. A judge is sent the link. Livestock coach Caleb Boardman has all members participating.
The team had been training and was on its way to the Houston Livestock Show competition when they heard that contest had been cancelled. The event was the second big competition of the spring, the other was the Denver National Western Livestock Show and Rodeo in January. Team members need to keep their skills honed for major competitions in Kansas City and Louisville this fall.
"Cancellation of (Houston) has been difficult, but it won't set us back," Newman said. "It was just an opportunity we didn't get to take advantage of."

Representatives for both Vonage and Comcast have denied recent rumors that Comcast is engaging in blocking activities that are affecting connection quality for Vonage's VoIP service.
"Comcast does not block access to Vonage or any other providers of Internet traffic," said Jeanne Russo, Comcast corporate communications director for high-speed Internet and digital voice communications.
Russo's comments came in response to recent allegations posted on an unofficial Vonage member forum. One forum thread, dubbed Comcast vs. Vonage, has been garnering increasing attention and traffic as of late. It also spawned response from Slashdot.org readers, who expressed concern over accusations that Comcast is port-blocking certain VoIP services.
"According to a long standing thread on the Vonage Forums, many Comcast ISP users are unable to use Vonage – tempers are flaring," a Slashdot member recently noted. "Although you will see all manner of opinions on this thread, there seems to be a sentiment that – politely put – Comcast could really be doing a better job of carrying Vonage bits."
"Comcast is doing their own VoIP service in some areas now...considering they have a competing product at a higher price...well, you can be the judge on it," one Vonage user commented on the Vonage vs. Comcast thread.
"VoIP from 'independents' like Vonage is a threat to the ISP industry because they are 'yet another bandwidth hog' making flat rate Internet access harder to provide due to increasing bandwidth demands," another Vonage member posted on the member forum. "They are also a threat to the local telcos, as they are direct competitors."
The posted comments address a growing number of complaints regarding connection quality of Vonage's VoIP telephone service, particularly in areas where Comcast offers broadband access. Vonage representatives, however, said they haven't noticed problems.
"To my knowledge, these rumors are hearsay," said a spokesperson for Vonage.
Comcast says that it has been working with Vonage to investigate the situation, and that the independent VoIP provider indicated the problem was an isolated issue on their end and had nothing to do with the Comcast connection.
However, consumers still seem wary – especially with major issues like net neutrality hitting the mainstream media headlines.
According to Vonage officials, the main issue in the net neutrality debate is about who will control innovation and competition on the Internet.
"Because Vonage competes directly with the telephone service of the network operators that also provide high-speed Internet access, the incentives to discriminate against us are clear," said Jeffrey Citron, Vonage Chairman and CEO, during a recent Senate hearing on Net Neutrality. "Most recently, major phone company executives seem to suggest that our service isn't going to work as well if we don't pay them additional fees."

## Introduction
As far as I know, there are mainly three ways to integrate subversion with Bugzilla: Scmbug, Sending email, and Buggit (DIY extension).

### [Scmbug][1]
Scmbug is a system that integrates software configuration management with bug-tracking. It is implemented in Perl and has been successfully deployed on UNIX-like and Windows systems. It has the following architecture.

Fig.1 Scmbug Architecture

### Email
This kind of plugins use Bugzilla email in feature (2.23.3+) as a parser to parse the commit message, so the message can contain anything that the email interface supports. Such extensions include [svn_bz_email_in, svn_bz, svn_bugzilla_notify_script][2]

### Buggit

Buggit is the DIY extension we developed by ourselves to integrate SVN with Bugzilla. It serves as a plugin in bugzilla which means that it has loose coupling with either Bugazilla or SVN.  Our extension is tested on Bugzlla 4.4.6 and VisualSVN Server 2.7.3. We will give more details in the next few chapters.

----------------------
## Architecture

Fig.2 Buggit Architecture

Seen from the figure above, we use a built-in hook in visual svn, post-commited.bat to call a hook.pl perl script, which then calls update, cvs_commit, and cvs_commit_file web services of Bugzilla on 123go website. The update service is the official web service of Bugzilla, and the other two are written in Buggit Extension, which you can check in Webservice.pm file of Buggit lib directory. The functionalities of each web service are marked red.

--------------------
## File Tree

Fig.3 Buggit Fle Tree

- Config.pm: Basic configurations, including required and optional perl modules clarification needed to run this extension.
- Extension.pm: Main file, which uses integrating the extension to Bugzilla platform by using Bugzilla hooks.
- Lib: Perl modules are will be called by the subroutines of Extension.pm file.
- Template: Static template files.
- Web: Some pictures and css files.

---------------------
## DB Changes
The following table contains the db changes compared with the original Bugzilla Database.

| Table         | Field                           |   Remarks   |

|      bugs           |      cf_revision      |     Revision numbers of this bug     |

Tab.1 Buggit DB Changes

-----------------------
## Usages
It is quite easy to install the Buggit extension.

First, you should add a custom field to Bugzilla. Click the "Administration"->"Custom Fields"->"Add a new custom field". The Name of the field must be "cf_revision", and you may fill the Description part any content as you like.

Second, unzip the Buggit.zip to ./bugzilla/extension directory. Execute the checksetup.pl in the Bugzilla directory to install the extension. In the Buggit.zip there are two batch files and a perl script. You should put the batch files (pre-commit.bat and post-commit.bat) to the repository hook directory that you may want to integrate with Bugzilla. As to the perl script(hook.pl), please move it to the home directory of Cygwin user(/home/Administrator/).

If you want to disable this extension, create a file named "disabled" in Buggit directory and delete the post-commit.bat and pre-commit.bat hook files in subversion repositories.

Dorothy Day (1897-1980) was a journalist and social activist. She co-founded the Catholic Worker newspaper, which carries on her dedication to peace and the works of mercy.
"That's where I met her personally, but I had known about her and read about her because in my younger days as a nurse I had worked with the Catholic Worker in Baltimore when it first started. I volunteered there for a short time while I was doing my studies at Mercy Hospital. So I knew about Dorothy and read about her and admired her very much. When she came to Loyola to speak I invited her to the house and she came. But my first meeting with her was at Wernersville.
"I admired her ability to live completely with the poor, and to share with them absolutely anything and everything she had. She never kept anything for herself alone. She was the poorest person I think I've ever met. Wherever they have a Catholic Worker house around Washington or Baltimore they always had a room for Dorothy, but Dorothy insisted that her room be used for the poor when she was not there. So many times when she would arrive from somewhere – if they didn't know ahead of time – there was already a poor person sleeping in her room and she slept in somebody else's bed. And if you knew Dorothy's houses at that point in history, that was not like 'I'll sleep in your bed tonight,' because a lot of those beds were wet in over and over again, and they smelled of urine terribly, and Dorothy would just go lay in one as if it were her own.
"She was the most selfless person I think I've ever heard of, and I really admired that tremendously. She was so detached. A very detached person. Except from her opinions, which she had a right to stand up for. But she was extremely detached. And very humble. But she did have a temper. I saw her one night put a priest in his place because he was speaking against the teachings of the Church. She really put him right where he belonged. She could handle any argument, anyone. But as I say she was simply, totally unattached to herself.
"The same thing came up when she spoke at Loyola. She was a controversial figure so they did have bouncers, so to speak, for her talk. And they almost had to use them because one man stood up. I think these people were sent by her enemies to talk out loud and heckle her.
"And she said 'I just remembered I have two coats in my closet at home and I can only use one.' Which really carried a big message with it.
"And she looked at it and looked at it and she looked around and she said, 'I would give my right arm to have a place like this.' [laughter] So I breathed easy. Yes, she was really a wonderful woman.
The classroom in question. From an article in the Baltimore Evening Sun, May 17, 1966.
"So she gave us a talk that night in one of the classrooms. We had a classroom upstairs. And she went to Mass. And when it was over, I had put her in one of the back bedrooms where she would be quiet. All my things were very poor, and she had a little poor rocking chair with no arms on it. And so I went back to see if she wanted anything before she retired, and she was sitting in the little rocking chair in her night gown, and rocking back and forth and preparing for the Mass in the morning. She was reading the prayers of the Mass for the next morning and was preparing for that.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can help designers achieve higher performance and lower emissions for combustion and reacting flow systems — without costly physical prototyping. But combustion CFD can only be of value if the simulations predict real-life behaviors. To predict actual performance and pollutant emissions, simulations must accurately account for the chemical kinetics of the combustion process. By using fuel models based on detailed chemistry, designers can greatly increase the predictive capability of combustion simulations and, as a result, more quickly and effectively meet strict regulatory guidelines.
These modeling capabilities benefit aerospace/propulsion, power generation, automotive and process industries, as well as safety and environmental studies. Processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and soot particulate formation will also benefit from the software's surface chemistry modeling capability.


Large scale sculpture of 82 vases with thermocast resin babies set into 6 astroturfed milk crate cubes with underlighting. Each baby has an umbilical flower to create a garden of eden.
This piece talks about the nurturing and growth of life, and its fragility and vulnerability. In this time of Preconception there is an endlessness of possibility. The babies, floating in life's elixir, are peaceful and asleep, waiting calmly to be plucked, and in that moment the preconceptions of those that choose and the world they must live override all… the only certainty is that the end has begun. This work asks the viewer to examine their own preconceptions about humanity. Nature vs nurture. Good vs bad. Black vs white.


When you have a birthday days before Christmas day it's hard to get people together for a celebration.
As a kid, my mom made sure my birthday presents were wrapped in birthday themed wrapping. Whether big or small she always ensured I had something special to unwrap on my big day.
Some of my favorite themed birthday parties as a kid included a roller skating party, one at McDonald's, and later in life a catered dinner party.
For years I carried the idea of celebrating my birthday at the halfway mark which would be in June. And well, I never acted on it.
Then 2015 came and I finally sent the invitations out for a June celebration.
This year I discovered my theme, where else but on Pinterest.
I just love pineapples and so the theme of Party Like a Pineapple was born.
I find it makes party planning so much easier when you pick out the color palette to start with and build everything else around it. I chose black and white stripes with green and yellow as accent colors. This was my invitation that was emailed.
If you throw a Pineapple party you must use fresh pineapples to decorate with.
With pineapples as the central theme I considered carving out the center of the pineapple to serve as a vase for fresh flowers. Great idea, but I wasn't that ambitious!
Instead I placed a fresh pineapple in the middle of my chips and dip tray where salsa would go. It worked!
My TV turned DIY photo booth served as a fun backdrop to decorate. I draped a yellow tablecloth over the living room TV and hung paper mache circles, flanking the border of the display with the fresh fruit.
I adore this hand crafted pineapple garland I ordered on Etsy from Beautiful Paper Crafts. It came in precious packaging already assembled.
You must get the matching picks that were perfect for fruit kabobs with pineapple studded with blueberries and strawberries. They're hand assembled and adorable.
For the food table I used a solid black tablecloth creating a striped runner out of cut fabric. I'm not into sewing at all so I used double-sided fabric tape as a makeshift hem.
The menu included: Ham and cheese sliders with a delicious sauce (the sauce makes these baked yummies), loaded salsa with black beans & corn (pineapple dish from Hobby Lobby), bacon wrapped pineapple, and carrot cake with pineapple.
The cake topper was colorful and fun, it too came from Hobby Lobby.
The hand cut confetti was so much fun to decorate with, it included sparkly gold glittered pineapples too, thanks to Shoplissy.
The palm print napkins were a perfect accent that I found at Paper Source.
No party is complete without a signature cocktail. I made Pineapple Rum Punch. It was so easy to make and delish, perfect for any summer party! Just three ingredients Malibu Rum, Canada Dry and pineapple juice, use fresh pineapple for garnish.
My guests were encouraged to wear pineapple print, green or yellow to got with the theme. My pineapple tee came from a fun boutique that I love, Francessca's.
I made my photo booth props using colorful summer themed items (ice cream cone, sun shades, mustaches, glossy lips) printed at my local Sir Speedy shop and glued them to some craft sticks. We had a blast posing and being silly!
It was a great day with some of my favorite people, and pineapples!
Now, it's time to plan and party like a pineapple! I promise you'll love this theme party.
I laaaaave this. There's something so cute and fun about pineapples! I definitely have to do this.
This is so darling! I love the 'party like a pineapple' invite!
I Love this theme! My sister's birthday is Christmas Eve. So this will be perfect. She is a little tired of the holiday themes. She was almost named Christy Eve. But our mother prevailed.
Oh, that looks fun! I even jealous a little. Well, that wasn't try. I jealous a lot.
Pineapple party is such a great idea!!! Not to mention that pineapple inspired decor pieces are so trendy these days. It makes it easier to find proper party supplies!


Impossible, Mission: — Reports indicate that The Hurt Locker's Jeremy Renner will be assuming the action movie franchise's lead role from Tom Cruise. For those afraid that this will change the series, take heart, because Mission: Impossible plots rely solely on latex face masks, sunglasses, and fake voices, so it won't matter who takes over.
Nelson, Willie – The legendary country singer and hemp activist was arrested at a Texas border checkpoint when an officer smelled marijuana coming from Nelson's tour bus. A search turned up 6 ounces of pot, which Nelson claimed was his. The officer, however, did not realize that the bus itself was made out of weed.
Neilsen, Leslie — The Naked Gun and Airplane! star died in Fort Lauderdale last evening from complications of pneumonia at age 84. There's a whole lot of good comedy and a whole lot of terrible comedy in the world, but Leslie Nielsen was a big part of the good. He will be definitely missed, remembered and quoted until the end of time.
Swift, Taylor – The singing sensation spent early Thanksgiving Day drinking maple lattes with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal. She accidentally dumped pepper, mouse turds, and metal shavings into hers, but since she can do no wrong, this new flavor, "The Swiftie," has become the most popular drink of all time and has sold 12 trillion units.
Zolciak, Kim – The Real Housewife of Atlanta recently announced she was pregnant…and was then photographed smoking. Unfortunately, this will probably not be the worst choice that Zolciak makes during her pregnancy.

ChinaSnippets.com translated Google's recent Flash ad which promoted Google's mission in China, and its new Chinese name (more at the accompanying blog post).
If you log onto a computer in downtown Beijing and try to access a Web site hosted on a server in Chicago . . . [t]he request travels over one of the Chinese pipelines until it hits the routers at the border, where it is then examined. If the request is for a site that is on the government's blacklist – and there are lots of them – it won't get through. If the site isn't blocked wholesale, the routers then examine the words in the requested page's Internet address for blacklisted terms. If the address contains a word like "falun" or even a coded term like "198964" (which Chinese dissidents use to signify June 4, 1989, the date of the Tiananmen Square massacre), the router will block the signal. Back in the Internet cafe, your browser will display an error message. The filters can be surprisingly sophisticated, allowing certain pages from a site to slip through while blocking others. . . .
Google posed a unique problem for the censors: Because the company had no office at the time inside the country, the Chinese government had no legal authority over it – no ability to demand that Google voluntarily withhold its search results from Chinese users. And the firewall only half-worked in Google's case: it could block sites that Google pointed to, but in some cases it would let slip through a list of search results that included banned sites. So if you were in Shanghai and you searched for "human rights in China" on google.com, you would get a list of search results that included Human Rights in China . . . whose Web site is banned by the Chinese government. But if you tried to follow the link to hrichina.org, you would get nothing but an error message; the firewall would block the page. You could see that the banned sites existed, in other words, but you couldn't reach them. Government officials didn't like this situation . . . but Google was popular enough that they were reluctant to block it entirely.
By having each private company assume responsibility for its corner of the Internet, the government effectively outsources the otherwise unmanageable task of monitoring the billions of e-mail messages, news stories and chat postings that circulate every day in China. The government's preferred method seems to be to leave the companies guessing, then to call up occasionally with angry demands that a Web page be taken down in 24 hours.
Later in the article, Chinese pro-democracy activist Zhao Jing – whose blog had been shut down by Microsoft – ranks the different IT companies in order of ethics. For him, Google comes out on top, having made a perhaps necessary compromise. Microsoft follows, and Yahoo is last. According to Zhao, "Yahoo is a sellout. Chinese people hate Yahoo." Zhao said at least Google never put anyone into jail; Google committed the sin of omission, rather than commission. While I agree with Zhao's ranking, I wonder if we get the same results if we order by hypocrisy of Google management (considering the informal corporate motto they claim to follow... because even the most optimistic interpretation of what they do in China is "a little evil for a greater good").

2020 Pushkar Camel Fair: Essential Festival Guide
India Rajasthan
Thousands of Camels in a Small Desert Town

Thousands of camels converge on the tiny desert town of Pushkar, in India's state of Rajasthan, for the annual Pushkar Fair. It's a fascinating and peculiar sight, and a popular opportunity to witness an old traditional-style Indian festival.
The original intention behind the Pushkar Camel Fair was to attract local camel and cattle traders to do business during the holy Kartik Purnima festival, held in Pushkar around the full moon in the Hindu lunar month of Kartik. The fair has now also become a major tourist attraction, with the camel trading part being surpassed by a formal program of activities arranged by Rajasthan Tourism.
The best way for foreigners to visit the fair is to go with an organized tour group. Tour groups receive special pricing at area hotels and attractions. If you book a hotel on your own, you may be surprised at the exorbitant prices of the lodging conveniently located near the fairgrounds. Still, some budget spots may offer good deals, if you don't need anything fancy.
When is the Pushkar Camel Fair
Usually in November, depending on the cycle of the moon. The camel action takes place during the first few days of the festival, after which time the focus shifts to heightened religious celebrations. In 2020, the official dates for the Pushkar Fair are November 22-30. Be sure to come early to see the fair in full swing! Camels and other livestock will start arriving up to five days before the official start of the fair -- that is from November 17, 2020.
Find out detailed information about the Pushkar Fair dates, including what happens on each day and when the festival will be held in future years.
Where and How is the Fair Celebrated?
In Pushkar, near Ajmer on the edge of the Thar Desert in Rajasthan.
Most of the activities take place at the fairground, located to the west of town near the intersection of Brahma Temple Road and National Highway 89. The camels are dressed up, paraded, shaved, entered into beauty contests, raced, made to dance, and traded. A huge carnival is held, with an array of musicians, magicians, dancers, acrobats, snake charmers and carousel rides to entertain the crowd.
Rajasthan Tourism publishes a program of events before the festival, which can be obtained for free from your accommodations in Pushkar.

What Rituals are Performed During the Fair?
Pilgrims come to this festival to bathe in the holy water of Pushkar's lake and be absolved of their sins. The two days around the full moon are considered to be the most auspicious time of the year for bathing in the lake. Those who bathe on the day of the full moon are said to receive special blessings.
What Can Be Expected at the Fair?
Years ago, the sand dunes used to be covered with up to 50,000 camels. However, unfortunately the number of camels being sold at the fair has dwindled dramatically and the fair definitely isn't what it used to be. These days, it's much more commercialized and tourist-focused. The camel races are definitely a highlight, although the comical beauty contests featuring elaborately adorned and shaved camels are also amusing. There's temple dancing, folk and fusion music concerts, spiritual and heritage walks, adventure zone, and an arts and crafts bazaar as well. And, of course, the fair would be incomplete without a mustache competition!
On the negative side, the huge influx of tourists means that many locals see the fair as a money-making opportunity. Be prepared to be pestered by beggars, gypsies, and kids. Camel traders will also ask for generous amounts if you want to take their photos.
Special Attractions and Activities
It's possible to witness the spectacle of the camel fair from above, in a hot air balloon. SkyWaltz offers exhilarating balloon flights over Pushkar in the early mornings and evenings.
Join Vedic Walks on their Pushkar Fair walking tour. It runs twice a day during the fair, morning and evening. On the morning tour, you'll get to see pilgrims taking a holy dip in the lake. The evening tour visits the bustling fair ground at its prime.
Camel Charisma will have a stall selling organic, handmade camel products (such as camel wool shawls and notebooks made from camel dung). Profits go towards supporting the the Raika camel herder community.
Don't miss the evocative evening maha aarti (grand devotional ritual that uses fire/light as an offering) ceremony held alongside Pushkar Lake.
Where to Stay During the Fair
The influx of visitors during the camel fair causes the demand for accommodations to skyrocket, and prices increase accordingly. There are two main options for organizing a place to stay -- either arrive a couple of days before the fair starts and find somewhere (which is the cheaper option), or book in advance. Accommodations include simple guesthouses, luxury tented camps set up in the desert especially for the festival, heritage hotels, and farm stays.
Here are the best places to stay on a budget near the fairground.
The closest railway station, which receives long distance Indian Railways trains, is Ajmer. The train line linking Ajmer and Pushkar opened in early 2012. The Ajmer-Pushkar Passenger departs Ajmer at 9.50 a.m. and arrives in Pushkar at 10.50 a.m. It's an unreserved train, so you can't book tickets in advance. The fare is 10 rupees. The train doesn't run on Tuesdays or Fridays.
Otherwise, if you go by road, it's a windy 30 minute drive through the aptly named Snake Mountain (Nag Parbat) to Pushkar. The local buses are dilapidated and crowded but the fare is cheap and the journey is very authentic (translation, rather rough). Buses depart from the bus station, as well as near the railway station (walk across the pedestrian overpass to the opposite side of the road).
One-way from Ajmer to Pushkar in a taxi usually costs 500-600 rupees but can be more during the camel fair. Negotiate hard! Otherwise, try app-based cab services Ola and Uber, which are now available in the area and charge less. Or, pay a couple of hundred rupees for an auto rickshaw.
Alternatively, the nearest airport is in Kishangarh, about 40 minutes northeast of Ajmer. It was inaugurated on October 11, 2017. The airport currently receives flights from Delhi, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad operated by SpiceJet. The other option is the airport in Jaipur, around two and a half hours away. Taxi fares to Pushkar can double during the festival. Expect to pay about 3,000 rupees from Jaipur. Do check Uber and Ola for better rates (the usual fare is about 1,500 rupees).
Scams to Be Aware Of
If you go to the lake at Pushkar, it's likely that you'll be approached by Brahmins or Hindu priests who will give you a blessing (even if you don't want it or agree to it) and ask for a large donation in return. They will pressure you to pay up and even threaten to call the police. It's also common for locals to come and give you flowers or flower petals, and then demand a large sum of money. Be sure to firmly avoid anyone who approaches you.
Other Similar but Smaller Fairs in Rajasthan
Concerned that the Puskhar Camel Fair is too commercial or want to experience a rural-style fair in Rajasthan on a smaller scale? Try the Chandrabhaga Fair in Jhalawar or the Kolayat Fair near Bikaner, which happen around the same time (see information and dates). Both combine cattle trading (including camels) with holy pilgrimage and bathing in sacred lakes.
