Hydrogen water is a chemical element with chemical symbol H and an atomic number 1, a so complicated long to explain. But I want to define it in the simplest form many people would understand.
Water is made from hydrogen and oxygen- 2H2+O2=2H2O, it takes two molecules with one molecule of the diatomic hydrogen gas to produce two molecules of water. The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:1, the ratio of hydrogen to water is 1:1, and the ratio of oxygen to water is 1:2.
Something that doesn't show up in the equation, is Energy. The formation of water from its elements produces in addition to water, a tremendous amount of energy, 572kJ to be exact.
Hydrogen rich water is also referred to as active hydrogen water, alkaline water, alkaline ion water, antioxidant alkaline water, reduce water, alkaline ionized water, alkali-ion water, all of which are created by electrolyzed reduced water appliances.
Hydrogen-rich water is the same as hot spring, alkalized water.
What are health benefits we can obtain from Hydrogen Water?
-lubricates joints and muscles
-keeps our minds alert
-helps the body to absorb nutrients
-aids in circulation and digestion
-helps regulates body temperature
-detoxifies cells and the whole body
-improves blood pressure, decreases headaches, arthritics symptoms, back pain and chronic symptoms
-decreases the risk of colon cancer, bladder and breast cancer
-assist weight loss:
Three direct mechanisms involved that allows for weight loss benefits:
-anti- oxidants, reducing damages in the body, thus also reducing immune system workload.
–you can literally do less, it fuels the ATP engine that powers every cell in the body. More fuel means more work can be done, less food needs to be eaten, and less food further reduces the oxidative load the body has to deal with.
-Smaller water Cluster Size- free hydrogen changes, the electrical charge in the water which causes water molecules to form smaller groups and allows for easier hydration and transport of vitamins and minerals.
Clinical improvements obtained from intake of Hydrogen-Rich Water (1985-2000) from Hayashi, Hidemitsu, M.D., Water Institute, and Kawamura, Munenori, M.D., Kyowa Medical Clinic
Improvement of:
-general malaise, chronic constipation and diarrhea as well as persistent diarrhea aftergastric resection
–dehydration in infants with vomiting and disarrhea caused by viral infection
-hyperbilirubinemia in newborns
-blood sugar and HbA1c levels in diabetes
-peripheral circulation in diabetic gangrene
-liver function in hepatic diseases, cirrhosis of liver, hepatitis
-uric acids levels in gout
-gastrodoudenal ulcers and prevention in recurrences
-hypertensive or hypotensive disorders
-hypertensive disorders; urticaria (hives), atopic dermatitis, asthma and others
-autoimmune disorders, rheumatism, collagen disease, SLF
-dismenorrhea, menopause symptoms
-malignant tumors, hepatoma, cancers
-specific diseases, Bechet Syndrome, Crohn Disease, Kawasaki disease, ulceratice colitis
-smooth delivery of pregnant women, enough lactation, smooth and satisfactory growth of newborns
So many testimonies of proven being effective of hydrogen water in human body's health.

As we continue our Catering 101 series, let's talk about the wine. Though most couples serve a champagne toast, many also offer wine with dinner at their reception as well. Choosing a poor wine can leave a bad taste in your guests' mouths. However, with a little planning and knowhow, you can pick the perfect wedding wine.
Even if you are planning your wedding on a budget, you can still have a fantastic wine. Talk to your caterer. Tell them how much you can spend and ask for some reasonably-priced recommendations. If your reception facility allows you to bring in your own wine, that's your best bet. You can shop around to get the best price at local wine shops and markets. You should be able to get a discount by buying cases in bulk. Make sure that you taste the wine before making your final selection!
Many factors go into choosing between red and white wines. Consider the time of year that you are getting married. In the summer, cool white wines are more suitable, while Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Merlot and other reds are better for winter weddings. Also consider the time of day. If your wedding is in the afternoon, people will probably prefer a lighter wine. Guests will also drink considerably less in the daytime than at an evening reception.
Take into account your dinner menu. Your caterer can help you match the type of wine to the dishes you are serving. Generally red wines are better with beef or meaty pasta dishes. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and other white wines are better suited for seafood, chicken and creamy pasta. If you are serving a buffet dinner with a mixture of foods, buy half red and half white, allowing your guests to choose.
Each bottle of wine holds about five glasses. For the average wedding reception, allow for two glasses per guest. If you know your guest list is full of wine drinkers, order more. Keep in mind that though some people will have several glasses, others will not drink any wine at all.
If you are opting for a cheaper wine, spend a little extra on the champagne. Almost everyone at the reception will participate in the champagne toast. Therefore, don't go for the cheapest bottle you can find. Instead, select a nice mid-priced variety that is not exceptionally sweet. A Brut is the driest and is considered the standard in champagne.

Bayelsa building collapse: residents blame government
Residents of Yenagoa the Bayelsa state capital have put the blame of the collapsed three- story building which is under construction on the state Physical Planning and Development Board, blaming the government agency for not carrying out proper checks while the building was under construction.
The collapsed building which is owned by a Bayelsa businessman who is on the run, was said to have caused panic in the community because of the substandard job
Residents were seen jubilation in the early hours of the morning as a result of the collapsed three story building which they termed a death trap without any casualty.
Responding on the allegation against the board, the executive secretary Bayelsa State Physical Planning and Development Board Mr. Waribigha Ebi said they were preparing to get court orders to seal the collapsed building.
The owner of the collapsed building who is on the run according to residents highhandedly handles all construction works relating to the building, while blocks, iron rods and other building materials used are said to be below standard.

Employers in the U.S. announced plans to eliminate 28,307 jobs in July -- the lowest monthly total since last November, according to outplacement consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
At the same time, there were more than 88,000 hiring announcements made, the third-highest hiring month of the year and the highest July total on record.
The job-cut total is down 9% from June and 37.6% below the same month a year ago. For the year so far, employers have announced plans to trim their payrolls by 255,307. That's down 28.9% from the first seven months of 2016.
"Job cuts have slowed significantly as we reach mid-year,"said Challenger, Gray & Christmas CEO John Challenger. "This month's total was the lowest July total since 23,238 cuts were recorded in July 1995."
In fact, monthly job cut totals have fallen under 30,000 only three times in the last ten years -- all of which occurred in the last three years.
Retail on the line
The retail sector continues to lead all areas this year with 63,989 announced cuts -- 3,862 of them in July. Retail job cuts are up 46.7% year-over-year.
The second-highest number of job cuts in July -- 3,634 -- came from health care products and services for a total of 21,554 so far this year.
"While retailers are cutting the most jobs this year, those companies are also announcing the most hiring," said Challenger. "These jobs are not the typical retail job, as consumers increasingly turn to online shopping."
He said new retail jobs could be going to places like fulfillment and distribution centers, which increasingly need talent, as well as to workers with the tech skills necessary to interact with and manage the automation that's revolutionizing the industry. Retailers are reponsible for 245,616 of the 556,493 new jobs that have been announced so far this year.
"While we have yet to see the large-scale layoffs of previous years, especially as oil and tech rebound," Challenger concluded, "the specter of a downturn is on the horizon and could spell massive cuts as we head into the fourth quarter and into next year."

So, I tried to sleep late, but couldn't. I was up by 6:00am and snooping around online; reading politics and catching up on some bookmarked articles. I guess I could have meditated, but I have so much free-time today and didn't want to burn through it all before noon. I did, however, have to go to the hospital at 8:00am. First of all, "the hospital" is a hospital by Western standards, but its usage is more like a clinic. I didn't go because I'm ill either. I've actually gotten over that. No, this one was just for fun. It's so cheap here, that there's almost no reason not to go.
I did some blood work; peed in a cup; got some X-rays; checked my eyes & ears; did a blood pressure test; and checked my height and weight. I could have grown, no? I obviously will hear back about the urine, blood and X-rays later, but the other stuff we can discuss. My eyes are perfect -as usual. I've always had perfect eyes. My hearing is, well, pretty bad. They actually told me that it's "abnormal". Except for high-frequency noises, I can hear everything quite well. I don't know what happened in there today.
My weight is the interesting one. When I started this Buddhist project, I weighed 72 kg (158 lbs). Now, 16 days later, I'm down to 65 kg (143 lbs). Not consuming meat, dinner or booze has clearly contributed to that loss. Don't worry, though. I feel great and they said my weight is fine for my height and age. I'm sure I'll plateau out soon.
My blood pressure is more of a concern. I'm in the pre-hypertension range, but am totally not surprised. I've never eaten well. Fortunately, my body has been able to metabolize most of the excess pretty efficiently, so I've been able to escape any legitimate weight gain. Of course, that has nothing to do with my arteries and sodium-levels. Regardless, I'm not too worried yet and will lower it over the next couple months through the continuation of parts of my Buddhist diet -namely no meat, smoking or sugar and an increase of bananas, oranges, legumes and cabbage.
Buddhism is not that big on marriage. In fact, it's not really a family-oriented religion. The strong emphasis on detachment, renunciation and separation from worldly desires contradicts the very idea of what marriage and family life are supposed to be about. Being relatively new to this marriage game, I don't like the idea of detaching myself from my wife, dog or family. Still, the Dharma seems to be full of useful advice on how to have a successful marriage.
Conflict is a part of life and is certainly a part of marriage. My wife and I have faced many conflicts together and we are sure to face many more. When these problems arise, the natural thing to do is to assign blame. The reasonable person inside all of us is convinced that there was a cause for this problem and that that person must be made aware of the suffering he or she has caused. Perhaps it's because American culture in obsessed with our notion of "justice" that unless there's a definitive victory, we feel like we were unjustly treated or wronged. I've never agreed with this, but still, the question I often must ask myself is, "Are you arguing for yourself or for the improvement of the situation?" More often than not, I'm arguing out of greed; the desire to claim another "W" for my non-existent win column. I'm fanning the flames for selfish reasons and that is wrong. The world is already on fire. (Bruce Springsteen sang about it back in '85.)
The Buddha said there are two worldly passions that defile and cover the purity of Buddha-hood.
The first is the passion for analysis and discussion by which people become confused in judgement.Everybody is right, all the time. My wife is convinced that she's right all the time, just like I'm convinced that I'm right all the time. I actually keep much of my certainty to myself because at some point in my short life, I learned a very valuable lesson. When spouses argue, there is no winner, only losers. Let me expand on that a bit. If my wife and I are arguing, we both are presented with two paths.We can either argue to the point of exhaustion where one of us gives in and retreats, i.e., makes a faux-apology or storms off -OR- we can put our judgement and desire to "win" aside and honestly have a conversation. Remember, even if you are the declared or de facto winner of an argument, you still lose. After all, what was actually gained? Nothing. Like the quote above says, people love to analyze and discuss things, but it can't be done if we're constantly judging the other's intentions, qualifications and motives.
I know I talked about marriage yesterday as well, but it's what I know. It's my life, but I also think that the mindfulness of this month has made me weigh a few things differently than I did before. Buddhism focuses so much on the aspect of causes, conditions and suffering that now it almost pains me to act in a way that would cause suffering for my wife.
Or it could be the fact that I'm not working as much as I used to (perk of being the boss) and have a lot more alone time than I'm used to. Maybe that's a good thing though. Mindfulness is better than never-ending yapping, right?
A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.***
It's about 9:30pm here. I'm getting ready to bow and then walk my dog. The wife has a company get-together tonight, so it looks like it's a boys night here at the Hogan house. Maybe Bear and I will watch Old Yeller. Or better yet, maybe we'll watch The Bear.

City Activists Turn Out in Support of Tibet
The St. Petersburg Times
[Tuesday, May 06, 2008 13:58]

Activists who came to support the people of Tibet and protest human rights violations in the region found themselves outnumbered by Chinese students who came to counter the rally in St. Petersburg on Saturday.
More than 100 Chinese people, with Chinese flags, pro-Beijing Olympics slogans, red carnations, and Chinese state symbols stuck to their faces, were sent away by the police who said their meeting was "unsanctioned." The police also checked the documents of the most active young people who after a while left reluctantly.
The rally, which drew around 50 protesters, was the first meeting in support of Tibet in St. Petersburg since the Chinese government's ongoing brutal clampdown in Tibet, in which exiled Tibetan leaders claim up to 150 people have been killed in recent weeks.
Previously, a meeting scheduled for late March was postponed under pressure from the authorities who tried to stifle any protests before and during the Olympic torch relay in St. Petersburg early last month.
The meeting featured activists from the St. Petersburg Friends of Tibet Society, presided by Margarita Kozhevnikova. Apart from local participants, visitors from Kalmykia and Tuva, where Buddhism is the main religion, took part, as well as three Tibetans. One of them, philosophy professor Geshe Dakpa Jampa, gave a speech in his native language.
Slogans included "My Heart Is With Tibet," "Freedom to the Political Prisoners," "Today - Tibet, Tomorrow - ?," "No to Violence in Tibet," "Free Tibet" and "Save Tibet." One poster demanded the immediate release of the 11th Panchen Lama, Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, who was kidnapped by the Chinese authorities in 1995. The Panchen Lama is one of the most important religious authorities in Tibet.
Activists also distributed materials about the situation in Tibet, which is covered in Russian media mainly from a pro-China position, and collected signatures.

"First of all, it was a call for peaceful resolution of the crisis in Tibet, and, secondly, a call to [the Russian authorities] to let the Dalai Lama into Russia," said Yelena Kim, an activist with the Friends of Tibet Society.
The Dalai Lama has been repeatedly denied a Russian visa since 1996. He was allowed to enter Kalmykia for a one-day visit in 2004.
The slogan "Freedom to the Political Prisoners" first referred to the Panchen Lama, Kim said.
"He is the youngest political prisoner who was kidnapped at the age of six and nothing is known about him," she said.
"But recently there was a wave of arrests, and there are so many political prisoners now, I can't imagine how many, that we decided to write about them all."
Last week, a Chinese court sentenced 30 people, including six monks, to jail terms ranging from three years to life in prison.
Some of the Chinese students returned when the rally was underway.
A young woman with a small Chinese flag on her cheek told Russians standing next to her that what was said at the rally was "lies," while a young man who was insistent in waving the Chinese flag and shouting "One China" was detained by the police after a document check, as he happened not to have his registration document, although he had his passport and student card.
Several members of the Yabloko democratic party took part in a rally. Maxim Reznik, the head of the local branch who spent three weeks in custody in what he calls a fabricated case in March, took time to hold one of the rally's banners reading "Freedom to Political Prisoners."
"I am taking part simply as a citizen, because I have great respect for Tibetan culture," said Reznik. "When Tibetan culture and the Buddhist religion are for me linked to words like 'peace' and 'kindness,' I feel the objections to the fact that these great people [are treated] so unfairly even more deeply.
"It's part of our diverse world, which is beautiful because of such little islands, and when it's unified, destroyed it provokes protest. As Hemingway wrote, 'Do not ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.'
"It doesn't matter where human rights are violated. But here, I feel there is some special injustice, because they are such peaceful people. [...] On the one hand, I feel shock, but on the other hand, I don't feel hatred toward China - just a wish to support these people, help them, to explain to the leadership of the Chinese People's Republic that they shouldn't destroy what belongs to the whole world, rather than to them."
Alexander Gudimov, the deputy chairman of the local branch of Youth Yabloko, the youth section of the democratic party, who was detained when he attempted to hold a solitary picket near the Chinese Consulate on the day when the Beijing Olympic flame relay passed through St. Petersburg last month, also took part in the rally.
Musician Yevgeny Fyodorov, the frontman of alternative rock band Tequilajazzz, said he came because it was the first rally in support of Tibet in St. Petersburg as far as he knew.
"I came because we see that such things start to happen here at last," he said. "[Pro Tibet protests] have taken place in every country, on every continent, except maybe Africa. Because of the Olympics, Tibet got the chance to remind [the world] about itself. It didn't happen here for some reason.
"I am pessimistic about China giving any concessions, but I came to support these very likeable people. I sympathize with and have a great interest in Tibetan Buddhism, that's why it's very relevant to me."
A second meeting that was planned to be held on Turgenev Ploshchad, near the Chinese Consulate, later the same day, was not allowed by the district administration because it said work such as planting bushes and flowers, and fence and path repairs, was taking place in the area.
But on Saturday, no sign of any work at the site was detected.

How to Switch From One Web Host to Another?
If your old web hosting services use cPanel, the procedure to change web hosting services will be very easy. If this is not the case, to change web hosting services you will have to perform step-by step hand download and then upload, using tools for the change of web hosting services such as FTP.
Follow the next steps to change your web hosting services:
- First log onto your old cPanel at your current web hosting services provider and click "backup" (verify if you use x skin).
- When you are in the "backup" section, click on "download a home directory backup". This way you will backup all your email accounts, files and other elements. This procedure will not do the backup of your MySQL database.
- If you have a MySQL database, you will have to independently download each one of them, choosing "Download a MySQL Database Backup".
- If you have any Aliases/Filter Backups, take these too.
- And that's it, you have backed up the entire site and now you can restore on the new website hosting services provider.
- Log on your cPanel at atecwebhosting.net and click "backup".
- In "Restore a Home Backup" click on "Browse" and find "home backup" which you created/downloaded in the second step and then click "upload".
- Repeat this procedure for every individual MySQL database.
- Repeat the procedure for your Aliases/Filters.
- Now your website has been restored/switched. You can repeat this procedure for all other websites that you want to transfer onto a new website hosting services provider.
Setting up the functionalities of your base after the restore
After you have performed the restore of your database, you will get an error message when you try to access the website that uses it.
Example of an error message:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: '[email protected]' (Using password: YES) in /home/korisnik/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19
Unable to connect to database server!
This error message says that your database now exists in the cPanel, but there is no username and password you have been given to it. To get a username and password, you must login to your cPanel and click "MySQL Databases". Scroll down to Users. Your username will look like:
Your [email protected] Username in this example is "osc1". Now you need to find your database password. To do that, check what it says in the "error" generated by the page and note the path.
Path in our error example:
Now you need to access your website through FTP and then go to the directory presented in the path. Transfer files on your computer, open it and check for the database password.
Example of what you should find: DB_SERVER_PASSWORD\', \'ftMKfCC0vDTs\');
Copy this password in the field "database password" and click "add user".
The user is now added but he is still not added to the database. You will connect him with the database when you click "add user to database". And that's all for the process!
- First, login to your cPanel and click "backup" (make sure you are using x skin)
- Once in backup, click "download a home directory backup." This will backup all of your email accounts, files, and a few other things. It will not backup your MySQL databases.
- If you have any MySQL databases, you will download them now.
- If you have any Aliases/Filter Backups, download them.
- Congratulations, you have backed up your entire site and its now time to restore it.
- Login to your cPanel with us, click "backup"
- Under "Restore a Home Backup," click "Browse" and find the home backup you have already downloaded and click on upload.
- Do the same for your MySQL databases.
- Do the same for your Aliases/Filters.
- You are done with everything and your site has been restored. Now, repeat this process for any
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: '[email protected]' (Using password: YES) in /home/bakerpe/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19
Unable to connect to database server!
What this means is that your database now exists in cPanel, but it has no username and password assigned to it. To assign a username and password, login to your cPanel and click "MySQL Databases." Scroll down

Literature Review Chapter: Promoting Cultural Heritage
Pages: 20 (7664 words) · Bibliography Sources: 10 · Level: Doctorate · Topic: Recreation · Buy for $19.77
[. . .] Moreover, in spite its strategic partnership with Elephantstay, an international organization committed to elephant conservation and ongoing support from the Thai government, the Royal Kraal at Ayutthaya needs additional resources to fulfill its mission of rescuing and caring for an increasingly endangered, aging elephant population in Thailand. The Royal Kraal's mission is important because the elephant population in Thailand is regarded by international conservation agencies such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Species Survival Commission Asian Elephant Specialist Group as being endangered, having been in a state of steady decline since the 1970s (Reading & Miller 2000).
Fortunately, the plight of these and other aging elephants was recognized by Laithongrien Meepan who founded the Prakochaban Foundation in 1995. With initial support from this foundation, the Royal Kraal was established as a multi-purpose facility with the mission to care for these aging pachyderms, to rehabilitate ailing, abused, killer bull elephants and to conduct reproductive research that can assist zoological parks around the world. These are certainly laudable and worthwhile efforts and goals, but obtaining the funding needed to support these operations, like other elephant conservation facilities in Asia (Reading & Miller 2000), also remains a constant challenge for the Royal Kraal. Finally, cultural heritage tourism is one of the fastest growing segments of the international travel and tourism industry (Zeppel & Hall 1999). According to two industry analysts, "The travel industry is increasingly recognizing the significance of cultural and heritage resources and their marketability. To maximize the long-term benefits of cultural and heritage tourism, however, attention needs to be given to developing effective management strategies which will ensure the conservation and appropriate use of irreplaceable cultural and heritage resources" (Zeppel & Hall 1999: 45). Therefore, identifying opportunities to promote the Royal Kraal in Ayutthaya using a cultural heritage tourism marketing approach represented a timely and valuable enterprise for all of the stakeholders involved.
1.6: Methodological Considerations
The methodology described above represents a useful and effective approach to identifying opportunities for promoting cultural heritage tourism at the Royal Kraal, Elephant Farm in Ayutthaya, Thailand.
1.7: Limitations of Research Study
The primary limitation of the case study methodology used in this study was its inherent reliance on the subjective interpretation of the study findings by the researcher with the potential for researcher bias to adversely affect the interpretation of the findings that emerge from the synthesis of the primary and secondary data (Neuman, 2003).
1.8: Organisation of Thesis
This study uses a five-chapter format to achieve the above-stated research aims and objectives. Chapter one of the study introduces the topics under consideration, including a discussion of the focus of the research study, an overview of research in tourism studies, the theoretical and conceptual issues that guided the study, the study's research aims and objectives and a justification for the study. A discussion concerning the methodological considerations that were involved in applying the methodological steps to the research study is followed by an assessment of the limitations of the research study. Chapter two of the research study provides a critical review of the relevant and peer-reviewed literature concerning cultural-heritage tourism, and chapter three describes more fully the research study's methodology, including a description of the study approach, the data-gathering method and the database of study consulted. Chapter four of the research study is comprised of an analysis of the primary and secondary data developed during the research process and chapter five presents the research study's conclusions, a summary of the research and salient recommendations.
Chapter Two: Review of the Literature
Chapter Introduction
This chapter provides a review of the literature that corresponds to the study's guiding research questions as follows: (i) motivation of cultural-heritage tourists who visit the royal kraal, (ii) the cultural importance of the Royal Kraal Elephant Farm; opportunities for promoting cultural heritage tourism at the Royal Kraal Elephant Farm; and, (iv) a discussion concerning the debate on cultural tourism in the context of nature.
Motivation of Cultural-Heritage Tourists
Although every visitor is unique, cultural-heritage tourists are typically motivated by a keen interest in the relevance and significance of various aspects of a location's offerings as they relate to local or regional identity (Smith, 2003). Perhaps the most basic and common error a presenter may make in his attempt to comprehend what a tourist wants is to focus on a tourist's chosen item of desire itself -- the travel object or destination -- rather than to look deeper into what exactly are the elements of its attraction and why they should entice a particular person or group. If the latter course is pursued, then not only does it become easier to cater to a tourist satisfactorily but it also becomes much more possible to provide an attraction for that person which can meet a range of other needs as well -- those of presenters and sites, for example. Essentially, with appropriate information it may be possible to diversify to meet tourist needs just as satisfactorily, or even more satisfactorily than if they were the sole objective, yet allow other needs too to be met (Boniface, 1999).
Tourists are humans, so it is at human behaviour that we need to look in enquiry. Why should a person want to travel and, moreover, for culture? (Boniface, 1999).
The starting point is the assumption that, whether or not most men "lead lives of quiet desperation," the majority, at the very least, lead lives which are for the most part boring and dull. Few people, it is suggested, find that their everyday lives provide them with all the dimensions that they feel they need (Boniface, 1999). Most of their waking hours, and more especially the lion's share of their "discretionary time," are allocated to trying to make contact with, or put themselves in line for some excitement and stimulation. Conversely, those people who do have varied and exciting lives may yearn for periods of peace and quiet. According to our personal predilections and preferences, we "see" fulfilment in different items and access avenues. Whatever our particular goals and their means of possible achievement, in the process of pursuing them a situation is created for entrepreneurial activity. In viewing humanity in this, albeit somewhat simplistic, way, a scene is nevertheless produced; and the scene set is that for the provision of services or "goods" by one, for consumption by another (Boniface, 1999).
The tourism industry, of which, as has been said, cultural tourism forms a major part, is just one portion of this whole sector which sets out to service humanity's needs. It is, however, an extremely salient portion since, as the tourism body industry is quite open about, its occupation is dealing in our dreams. While it will, of course, serve practical surface needs, the tourist industry in catering to them will also be meeting desires which we hold deep within (Boniface, 1999).
In relation to education and status the following example of somewhat concealed motivations can be provided. Ostensibly, we may want to travel, or visit a museum, for educational purposes. Such a reason would be what we have told friends, or someone whom we are seeking to impress, or a market researcher; it may even be what have told ourselves. The reality might be that we do not want to go at all, because we are not interested in the subject in question, or we may even fear that we are not "up" to the subject. "The reality could be that we would rather be at the cinema than on a cultural cruise, or on a course at a country house, or touring a "worthy" museum's displays. The clever tourism operator will interpret correctly the real need and cater to it in a way which both suits himself and his cultural site" (emphasis added) (Boniface, 1999, p. 19).
The problem is that there is no such thing as the average tourist. Tourists can be, and have been, categorized into various groups by their motivations for travel. In the context of cultural tourism, in particular, it is possible to identify various main types of need of a cultural site. But a site is a site and, with the best intentions in the world, it would be over-optimistic and quite impractical to expect any one individual site to meet all or even most of those needs. The immediate and obvious solution is niche marketing, focusing on just one audience; but even that one niche might be physically too much for a site. Alternatively a site might be perceived as being capable of only satisfying one need while it is regarded as being very desirable for any or all of a range of reasons that it should meet some more. A difficulty in general is that "the picture" of the tourism situation in our quickly changing world is forever altering, and therefore needs constant… [END OF PREVIEW]

During a raid onducted at Hapur road's Naugaja area, a consumer was caught red handed for power theft. The consumer was consuming electricity and the power meter not recording any unit. There was a remote control attached to the meter device which can switch off and on the electricity meter. The alarming part was that no unit was registered by the meter even when electricity was being consumed.
The power depatrtment has issued an alert and fear hand of an organised gang in the case.
UP's principal secretary energy and power corporation chairman Alok Kumar has ordered a STF inquiry into the case. He has also directed the officials to continue the drive against power theft in the state.
One of the accused involved in the hi-tech power theft case said that it requires only one-two thousand rupees to get the device.
The organised gang members use bike or old car's remote system. They connect the remote system to meter via current transformer (CT). This CT indicates electricity consumption during meter reading.
In West UP's Pashchimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd, more than 10,000 cases of power theft have been unearthed in 63 days. 1,635 cases were reported from Ghaziabad Zone-1 and 1706 cases of power theft in Ghaziabad zone-2 observed. The electricity department has taken action against 711 persons in Meerut City and 560 persons in Meerut rural area.

A melodic drummer
For me, making music is fundamentally about building connections: connections between rhythm and melody, with my fellow musicians, and with audiences. The Washington City Paper called me an "unsung dynamo" who "builds arrangements, accompaniments, and solos with the structure and phrasing that we usually associate with melody". As a recent graduate from the University of Maryland with a masters in jazz performance, I perform regularly with the area's preeminent musicians at the top venues for jazz including the Kennedy Center, Bohemian Caverns, and Strathmore.
Recent Recordings
Kurtis Adams, "Collage"
"Saxophonist Kurtis Adams could scarcely have chosen a more apt title for this release, an eclectic-minded assemblage drawn from a wide variety of musical genres, including classical.
All told, Collage is an interestingly disparate assortment that well rewards listening and is highly recommended."
-All About Jazz, August 2013
DC Jazz Composers collective
"Last year, a close-knit group of three jazz musicians with a passion for writing original music came togetherin an official capacity. They formed the D.C. Jazz Composers Collectve, a nonprofit organization designed to promote new and original music as well educate aspiring composers and the jazz-listening public. Bassist Kevin Pace, pianist Gene D'Andrea, and saxophonist Bobby Muncy are all accomplished, imaginative, and eclectic composers (primarily in the postbop vein), but also sensitive musicians with experience, chemistry, and sympathetic ears for each other's work—which can be heard on their recently completed, self-titled CD featuring two compositions by each member of the collective and strong support from their favorite drummer, melodist Andrew Hare (whose blog is a fascinating look at the jazz drummer's art)."

Kärlek, vänskap och choklad by Alexander McCall Smith
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I don't have too many opinions on this. It pretty good, the mystery wasn't terrible but not super-interesting either. Isabella's crush on Jamie is getting weird, but at least she's aware of it so that's nice. :P
There was some parts that kinda made me cringe though, like the part where a girl said her teacher made inappropriate comments against her and the book basically seemed to say that girls are always making these kinds of things up. Ugh, no. The "but what's to say she didn't lie?"-line at the end didn't make up for like one page of dwelling on it first...
But still, a quick fun read, that's always nice!

Judging the Royals
The Kansas City Royals are winning in a different way
When Moneyball was all the rage, people were fixating on walks and home runs. Despite the fact that the Oakland A's consistently fell flat on their face in the playoffs, some people thought that walks and home runs were the key to winning. The Kansas City Royals are 26th in home runs, last in walks and first in the American League Central.
I once asked a Royals front office guy how many home runs he thought Adam Dunn would hit in Kauffman Stadium and the answer was: "Adam Dunn wouldn't play here." If you make your money hitting a baseball out of ballparks, you don't want to play in one the size of the Grand Canyon. To get a power hitter to come to Kansas City the Royals would have to overpay and then they wouldn't get what they paid for.
Smart teams look for undervalued players, and the Royals decided athleticism was undervalued. They went after good athletes figuring their athleticism would show up on the base paths and on defense. Tuesday night those athletes put on a defensive clinic. Ben Zobrist made an error in the second inning, but after that the Royals made at least five highlight-reel plays. The defense was so good that after the game people were debating which play was the best.
The one that stood out to me was the Jarrod Dyson-to-Alcides Escobar-to-Salvador Perez play at the plate to nail James McCann.
A few days ago, in the White Sox series, third base coach Mike Jirschele sent Mike Moustakas home in the same situation; part of his reasoning was the White Sox would have to make two perfect throws to get him and Jirsch was right, the White Sox couldn't do it.
Tuesday night the Royals could.
If you're not watching these guys, you're missing some great baseball — and missing a team that's winning in a different way.
But Don Wakamatsu disagrees
Say that to the Royals bench coach Don Wakamatsu — and a while ago I did — and he laughs and then asks what's more traditional than a team winning with pitching and defense?
And Don's right; a lot of fans — and front offices — forgot just how well those two can work.
Why Yordano Ventura needs to pitch inside
Tuesday night Yordano Ventura threw six shutout innings. Yordano can throw a baseball about a billion miles an hour, so a big key for him is whether or not he can do anything else. They say major-league hitters can time a bullet, so if Yordano does nothing but throw fastballs in the upper nineties, big league hitters can time that.
Tuesday night Ventura went to his secondary pitches early and that was a good sign. And in the second inning with the bases loaded, Ventura got out of it with his off-speed pitches and that was an even better sign.
Ventura threw 104 pitches and by my count, 49 were something other than a fastball. After the game I asked Ned Yost about Ventura's secondary pitches and Ned said a key for Ventura was establishing the inside fastball. Once a pitcher does that, hitters have to open up their front side to get to it, especially if the pitch is 99 mph, and that makes them vulnerable to anything off-speed.
That pickoff was not a called play
In the fifth inning Salvador Perez picked Anthony Gose off first base, and I wondered if it was a called play or spur of the moment. Eric Hosmer said the Royals do have a pickoff play that's called in advance, but that wasn't it.
Whenever a pitch takes Perez toward first base it forces him to catch the ball backhand. Catching the ball backhand puts him in a good throwing position — it closes up his front shoulder — and with a runner on, that's when Sal might snap a throw off to first base. Hosmer saw where the pitch was and headed back to first base in case Perez cut loose with a pickoff throw and it worked.
Tyler Collins drops a ball
If you're a certain age — old — you probably remember coaches yelling "two hands" every time you tried to catch a ball in Little League. So if you're a Detroit fan you might have been screaming "two hands" at Tyler Collins when he dropped that Eric Hosmer fly ball in the eighth inning: but big-league players don't use two hands anymore.
We had to use two hands back then because our gloves stunk. They've got much better — and bigger — gloves now and a one-handed catch allows you to extend your arm further and watch the ball into your glove.
Something Collins didn't do.
How fear of the stolen base helped Eric Hosmer hit a home run
The Royals jumped out in front when Eric Hosmer hit a two-run home run in the first inning. Lorenzo Cain was on first base and Detroit's pitcher — Anibal Sanchez — threw Hosmer a fastball while using a slide step.
Pitchers use a slide step to get the ball to home plate more quickly, but it can backfire. After the game, I talked about slide steps with Luke Hochevar and he said some pitchers might actually throw harder out of a slide step, but most pitchers lose some velocity — they don't get their weight back before delivering the pitch. The slide step can also cause some pitches to go flat and stay up in the zone.
To be sure, pitchers also give up home runs when they're not using a slide step, but pay attention and you'll see how often fear of a stolen base causes pitchers to make bad pitches.

Nelson's Column under construction
Shelfmark: Talbot Photo 2
Photographer: William Henry Fox Talbot (1800 - 77)
'Nelson's Column under construction, Trafalgar Square, London, April 1844'
While Lacock formed a convenient base for much of Talbot's photography, he also travelled and photographed extensively in England and Scotland. His view of Trafalgar Square, with the base of Nelson's Column still shrouded in scaffolding, can be dated from information contained in the mass of posters which plaster the fencing, in defiance of the notice forbidding them. In the background stand the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields and Morley's Hotel, the latter on the site of the present-day South Africa House.
Salted paper print from a calotype negative
Nelson's Column
Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square was designed by William Railton and built between 1840 and 1844 to commemorate Admiral Horatio Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
The statue of Nelson stands on top of a 46-metre granite column. The statue faces south looking towards the Admiralty and Portsmouth where Nelson's flagship HMS Victory can still be seen today.
Talbot's Notebooks
Talbot was an active mathematician, experimental scientist, Assyriologist, classicist and land-owner whose work encapsulates intriguing tensions between the past and the future in 19th-century science and society.
His notebooks, now in the British Library, are the subject of a post-graduate research project. Find out more

New Sliding AJAX Login Panel Plugin for BuddyPress
This is a fun new plugin that delivers a fancy, smooth AJAX login experience for BuddyPress users. It also includes an account center with a full user menu. I put this plugin together based on the iRedlof Ajax Login by Rohit LalChandani but have completely re-worked it for use with BuddyPress. The plugin adds a tab to the top of the page to pull down a panel where the user can login. I wrote in a BuddyPress profile and account preview center for logged in users where they'll be able to check out a teaser of their new messages and friend requests as well as navigate to other areas of the site.
The panel as it appears for Logged Out users:
The panel for Logged In Users with No Messages/Requests:
The panel for Logged in Users with Messages/Requests:
BuddyPress Sliding Login Panel Plugin Features:
- Logged Out Users: The panel displays a welcome message, link to registration, password retrieval, and an AJAX login form.
- Logged In Users: The panel displays a total of two new messages with links to the inbox, the user's current avatar and option to change it, a list of links to the most commonly-used BuddyPress components, and a preview of the user's friend requests.
How to Install:
- Upload the plugin to the plugins directory.
- Activate the plugin.
- Add the this tag right after your < body > tag in the header.php file of your BuddyPress child theme:
{code type=php}
- Disable the BuddyPress Admin Bar by adding this to your wp-config.php file:
{code type=php}
define( 'BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR', true );
This plugin has no options after you install it, which is simply because I haven't yet learned to add in option pages for plugins. As soon as I have the time to figure that out, I hope to make it much easier for users to customize without having to edit php files. For now, if you want to change the welcome paragraph or any of the links, most everything can be found in the update-content.php file. You can also edit the CSS file included to make the plugin fit your site's design better. More than likely you will want to update the logo. The easiest way to do that would be to name your file logo.png and overwrite the the same file in the images folder.
Download BuddyPress Sliding Login Panel:
You can download this plugin for free at the WordPress repository: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-sliding-login-panel/ It has some updated installation instructions and several fixed from the first time it was released.
If you catch any bugs or notice any issues with the plugin, please let me know. Also, if you find more efficient ways to do what I've written, feel free to make suggestions. Any tips from other plugin devs are much appreciated. I hope you enjoy this plugin and let me know where you're using it and how you've customized it further!Tags:

Shelf or Drawer Bin Hard to Slide
Possible Solutions
Are the bins or shelves properly installed?
The bin or shelf might not be opening or closing properly because it is not properly riding on the glides or posts.
CLICK HERE for more information on how to install.
Are the drawer or shelf channels dirty?
A possibility is that the drawer or shelf channels are dirty. Spillovers inside the refrigerator may get into the slide control of the crisper bins or shelves and cause them to stick.
Is there something obstructing the drawer or shelf?
The crisper drawer or shelf may be stuck or won't move freely due to an obstruction; the contents of drawer or the positioning of items in the surrounding compartment could be obstructing drawer or shelf movement.
To fix this problem, reposition food items and containers to avoid interference with the drawers / shelves.
Still need help? Call or schedule service.

Welcome to GoodWindWater.com.
In 2012, Unitata Berhad appointed GoodWindWater Enterprises Limited its exclusive Wholesale Trade Agent for Canada. Canadian corporations can now source red palm oil (RPO), tea tree oil (TTO), and virgin coconut oil (VCO) through GoodWindWater. Elsewhere, Unitata's well-known niche products are used and traded within and across the supply chains of international companies in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries.
Unitata sources palm oil directly from its parent company, United Plantations. In September 2008, the Round Table on Sustainable Palm Oil, www.rspo.org awarded United Plantations as the world's first certified sustainable oil palm plantation. To meet the growing expectations of sustainable palm and palm kernel oils, Unitata became Supply Chain Certified in 2010. Companies sourcing palm oil products from Unitata can be assured of their traceability and transparency.
The fruitlet of the oil palm is the world's richest source of natural Carotenoids (pro Vitamin A), Tocopherols, and Tocotrienols (Vitamin E). Red palm oil is produced by using a mild refining process ensuring that most of the inherent vitamins A & E are preserved in the oil. The rich source of beta-carotenes gives the oil its unique and beautiful red colour.
"Nutrolein" is an ideal cooking oil. It is great for salads and well suited for high-heat frying and baking. Nutrolein is 100% natural and pure, non-GMO, cholesterol free, and zero trans-fat. One tablespoon of Nutrolein meets the USDA recommended daily dosage of Vitamin A & E. Additionally, the Swiss Vitamin Institute endorsed Nutrolein for its high content of carotenes and Vitamin E. Red palm oil is indeed an affordable nutritional supplement.
Research Project: Evaluating global barriers to the use of red palm oil as an intervention food to prevent vitamin A deficiency (March 22, 2012 Citation: Burri, B.J. 2012)
Although it is not genetically modified, the oil palm is surprisingly very productive. It can yield one tonne of hexane-free palm oil utilizing only 0.26 hectares of land. To achieve the same yield, the soybean requires 2.22 hectares, the sunflower 2.0, and the rapeseed 1.52 hectares. Not too many people realize that this super-efficient tropical non-GMO oil palm is now providing about 30% of the dietary fat requirement of the world's population while utilizing less than 1% of the Earth's total cultivated land resources.
We welcome trade inquiries from Canadian companies interested in any of the products:Red palm oil (5 brands): Nutrolein, NutroPalm, NutroOlive, NutroFry and NutroBake.
Tea tree oil: Magic Touch.
Virgin Coconut Oil: NutroCoco.
Subject to limited quantity order, price quotes to Canadian companies (including Private Labelling) are all wholesale export prices ─ normally in U.S. $, F.O.B. Port Klang, Malaysia. All transactions are B2B (conducted directly between Unitata Berhad and the Canadian Buyer/s).
For individuals interested in cooking with red palm oil ─ the FIRSt (Food Innovation and Research Studio) team at the George Brown College has developed some recipes for you. Have fun cooking with a beautiful red oil that is rich with vitamins A&E, and enjoy the challenges of consistency, texture, taste, colour, and yield. Red palm oil is Mother Nature's gift for all chefs to innovate, formulate, and enrich our diet.
NOTE: If you cannot find red palm oil on sale in Canada presently, we hope our RPO products will be at your pharmacies, stores, and supermarkets soon.

Here's the news, all in one batch…
Air France has launched a highly targeted niche airline-within-an-airline called Dedicate to serve the travel requirements of companies in the natural gas and oil industries. The specially configured A319s will fly people twice weekly from Paris to, no joke, Pointe Noire in the Republic of Congo, malabo in Equitorial Guinea, and other well trafficked spots in Iran, Kazakhstan and Qatar.
Speaking of Qatar, while nobody in the US ever talks about the Qatar Airways has quickly grown to be a major regional player in the Middle East. They said last week that they'll take 13 new aircraft this year to expand to 12 more destinations. Alongside this news, the government of Qatar awarded Bechtel a $2.5 billion contract to build a new airport. Man, that Bechtel is everywhere.
In bankruptcy news, low-cost Finnish airline Flying Finn declared bankruptcy this week. The tiny carrier operated 8 domestic flights in Finland. Insert joke about frozen assets here.
Air Canada is expanding its well received simplified Canadian fare structure to include a bunch of US cities. The fare structure (which you can see on Air Canada's site when you search between 2 Canadian cities, and looks a lot like Southwest's) is fantastic, except for the mindblowingly ridiculous names given to each: Tango, Econo, Fun, Latitude, Freedom and Executive. I don't know what they mean either.
Four airlines are reportedly bidding on US Airways' assets, with American, JetBlue and AirTran interested in the shuttle. Delta is interested in "pretty much everything" except the shuttle. Since they already own a competing shuttle. How much would a JetBlue shuttle rock? Just curious.
And finally…you'll thank me for this. 21 bikers were thrown off a plane after confronting a father who was disciplining his son. Oh, you should know that the bikers were part of a group called "Bikers Against Child Abuse." Awesome.

- OE seems to be looping through the same files
|04/25/2008 04:15 pm
|I am trying to complete downloading a large site using OE 4.9.2693 SR2. I had to restart the download a few times in order to exclude minor but huge subdirectories, to keep the download to a reasonable size and time.
I have downloaded over 450,000 files and the queue is at 88 files. The same paths and files are now cycling through the channel display in the download window.
The lower left corner shows only downloading and not parsing, the "downloaded" and "queue" numbers are not changing, the physical drive on which the temp and download folders are located has powered itself down, showing that it is not being accessed, but the "size" number keeps increasing by a few Kb at a time.
I let it cycle like this for a couple of hours before suspending to a file. Then I unchecked the a€?Suppress Web site errorsa€? box, and resumed from the file, but that didna€™t help.
What is going on, and what should I do?
Thank you very much.

Brian France represented changes that NASCAR needed but not everyone liked. Now what?
Brian France, the chairman and CEO of NASCAR, which is one of the country's largest ma and pa businesses, was charged Sunday night with driving while intoxicated and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
There was a time when what would have upset NASCAR fans most is that France was charged in Long Island, N.Y. NASCAR still is a Southern sport. What was he doing up in the Hamptons?
France has always been more Manhattan than Martinsville. Fans don't see him. Increasingly, they don't see the sport he runs.
France is the man to whom NASCAR was passed down, from his grandfather, who founded it, to his father and then to him. He's taken chances his predecessors didn't. A fan of other major sports, France had the guts to incorporate NASCAR's playoff concept. I think it works. He pushed for diversity in a sport that was whiter than most country clubs.
France represented change. That change meant that the old way of doing things was insufficient. I don't think Dale and Cale and Junior done it this way.
France wasn't trying to offend old-time fans. The idea was to attract new ones. There weren't enough of the old ones to go around.
His arrest doesn't help. France apologized for the Long Island incident and will take an indefinite leave.
I know France a little. I've been in his Daytona Beach, Fla., office and drunk Starbucks with him. He invited me because, I think, I favored the playoff system. I was the one.
Sports are cyclical, but I can't see NASCAR making the kind of run it did in the early 2000s when new fans discovered this sport with the clean-cut drivers that was devoid of work stoppages.
The new fans didn't stick, and some of the old fans, offended by the changes, didn't return.
Reuters has reported that France was in discussions to sell his stake in the sport. Forbes reported that France was seeking minority investors.
Whatever France does, I hope he's all right. I hope his sport is, too.
