A national workshop on "Applications of High Technology for Rural Development" was organised by the Murugappa Chettiar Research Centre, Madras at Mahabalipuram on anuary 30-31, 1988. The workshop, sponsored by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), was a departure from the usual practice of talking about taking science to villages or about applications of appropriate technology in rural areas; ft was intended to focus on the role of advanced science and technology in rural development. It originated with the Idea that in a country like ours, the premier work on science and technology should be with rural development In mind. The workshop intended to bring the scientists and the village workers Of the voluntary sector together. There were apprehensions whether a meaningful dialogue would be possible between the two. One was afraid that this would become popular science lectures from so called "experts" to non-experts. One wondered whether such a dialogue would result into a fresh understanding of the process of rural development.
To some extent all the apprehensions came true. The workshop partly appeared to be popular lectures by scientists to voluntary workers. The village workers responded by lecturing to the scientists on the problems of corruption and on how the planners lack comprehension of the rural realities. In some sense there was hardly any dialogue. Yet one found the scientists attempting to present their work in different light, often questioning some of the basic assumptions widely prevalent in our scientific community; at the same time village workers often expressed helplessness In combating growing rural problems. This lack of dialogue should have been expected considering that this was the first workshop of its kind.
The inaugural address was delivered by Dr.M.R.Srlnivasan, Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission. He emphasized that electricity has an important place In rural development. Biomass, solar energy are important but could not be a substitute for electricity. The keynote address was delivered by Shri Ashok Parthasarathy, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Science and Technology. He emphasised that in a country like ours with such a large population In rural areas and where the urban-rural divide Is very sharp In terms of lifestyles, the theory of "stages of development" shared both by Rostow and Marx is totally inapplicable. One cannot conceive of our country's development in terms of shift of mosto f our population (about 100 crores by 2020) from rural areas to urban conglomerates and from agriculture to modern Industry. He suggested that the sooner we give up copying these Western models and re-examine our problems, the better II would be for our country. [He suggested that we think In terms of creating a continuum from large urban centres to dispersed rural settlements with a ma ority of population In small and medium towns. He urged the scientists and technologists to work for development of technologies which would make this possible.
Mr. R. Suryanarayanan, Agriculture Development Manager, State Bank of India stated that according to his experience, "development agencies often committed a mistake of appearing to teach modem technology and processes to rural areas. He cited an example of widespread use of drip Irrigation in Tamil Nadu for coconut and other plantations, practiced for hundreds of years. Yet the farmers grew very suspicious when the development workers, giving the" name drip irrigation to this practice, attempt to teach the same as a revolutionary technology which is cure to all their ills. .
Dr Ashok jhun jhunwala, IIT Madras, stressed that so far the rural Industries have emphasised development of products for urban markets using rural resources. To be viable these [industries, in addition to using local resources, have to be based to a. significant extent on local skills and satisfy local needs. He also talked about the need for data collection on and recognition of our traditional skills and practices.
Dr B V Ramachandran, former Professor of Genetics, Madras Veterinary College stated that there exist several centres In the country where indigenous genetic breeds have been collected. But very few people know about them because of poor publicity they receive. He also suggested that the practice of semen collection and preservation Is not appropriate to our conditions and should be discouraged.
Dr Vinod Gaur, Director, National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad, discussed the potential of remote-sensing data from satellites for aiding water management at a micro-regional level. He emphasised that such information, even If easily accessible, would be useful only if the administrative and hydrological boundaries became identical. Secondly, remotely-sensed data' could not replace the wisdom of the farmers who have good understanding of water availability In their own areas perfectly well.
Dr.C.V. Seshadri made the point that energy and lifestyle being woven together, rural energy planning could become fruitful only if energy consumption In various other sectors was drastically reduced.
High technology, according to the background note for the meeting, was to be viewed In terms of the processes rather than products". One wished that this point was made more forcefully - for example, 'transportation'' is not the same as more Maruti cars or millions of two-wheelers made with foreign collaboration. The recommendations, sadly, talked only of the available' scope for doing "sophisticated, frontier science1' in rural-related problems, without attempting to define clearly the notion of high technology.
The discussions.during this workshop clearly brought out the need for some more such dialogues between scientists and village workers - perhaps with the participants on each side better prepared for a dialogue. It may be better in future to have a separate one day session for each of the two groups to work out what would be expected during such a meeting.

The Indian Society for Individual and Social Development (ISISD) organized a conference on 'Transience and Transitions in Social institutions", from Dec. 28th 1987 to an. 1st 1988 in Madras. The overall objective of the Conference was 'to discover ways and means to empower-social institutions", - in particular, the institutions of family, community and education - "to play their primary role - I.e., setting the direction of unfolding of the society".
The Conference began with the Executive Director of ISISD outlining the concept of the Conference. The three social institutions family, education and community - define roles, values, norms and beliefs which provide the context where identity of the individual can be crystalised. They also provide the younger generation with idealism, pride of belonging and inspiration. As such, these institutions need to consider today's realities and provide processes of convergence and coherence between individuals and social institutions.
One of the founder-members of ISISD in his keynote address differentiated the concept of "culture state" of India with the "nation state" of India. He referred to the need to strengthen the culture and its Institutions so that there is stability in the context of a changing political, technological and economic reality. On the whole, this set the background to the proceedings and indicated the concerns of the organizing body. The current socio-economic-political reality was taken as given and the Conference was to concern itself wfth the Inability of the Indian social institutions to adapt themselves to this reality. :
The Conference proceedings took place in three parallel sessions, family, education and community. Each session was inaugurated by a keynote address. The most noteworthy keynote address contribution was delivered by Sri Ganapathl Sthapathl, Principal, Mahabalipuram College of Sculpture and Architecture and an eminent authority on Indian architecture. Speaking in the session on community, he outlined the structure of the five traditional guilds that form the community of Viswakarma-Manu (blacksmith); Maya (carpentary); Thwashta (metal work); Slip! (Temple architecture and Town planning) and : Vlswagana (artisans in gold, silver and gems). He also highlighted the teaming processes within these guilds, the neglect that they have suffered in the process of modernization of our society, and their resilience and relevance in the current times. He brought out the need for looking into the principles of organization and knowledge-base of this community and utilize such knowledge in the reconstruction of Indian society.
The following two days were mostly taken up with presentation of various technical papers and discussions around these papers. The sessions devoted to "Community" included a paper on the life of the Warli Tribal Community in Maharashtra. Another paper contrasted the Hindu world view with the "liberal" world view that provided the basis for ideals enshrined In the constitution of India. One of the sessions on "Education" dealt with Traditional education in India in the changing context". The paper presented an outline of our indigenous system of education, traditional modes of learning and knowledge systems, and their significance and relevance in the current context when almost everyone agree that our education system Is in total doldrums.
These technical sessions were followed by panel discussions. One of the panels consisted, of heads of some large industrial establishments. Some of the panelists in this session stressed the need to modernize and industrialize Indian society and pointed out that the traditional world-view of the common people is the greatest obstacle to the process of modernization.
The Conference ended with a panel discussion on "Future Social Institutions". Sri Dharampal, one of the panelists in his statement, pointed out that the images of family, education and community which are current among the elite of India and many countries of the so-called Third World are largely products of theories generated in the West in the 19th century.'He traced the history of family in the West and described how the concepts of family, community, individual freedom and all thinking on education in the West have been derived,from the world-view of a small but powerful minority which constituted the ruling class. During the 19th Century some idealized images of family had been created and these started to disintegrate by the end of 19th Century itself due to various social pressures and the process of modernization.
It is this disintegration that is now the concern, of the Westernized intellectuals in India according to Sri Dharampal and as such this disintegration relates more to the 19th century Western images rather than to the reality of the Indian society. Sri Dharampal further pointed out that the concepts of community and locality have been for a very long time central to the social organization of India. Consequently, Individual freedom as well as the nature,1 structure and meanings of institutions of family as well as education, have been conceived differently in our society. The family for Instance, has been constituent of much larger and complex kinship and territory based groupings. Education was a function of the community and family to which the individual belonged. Given such fundamental differences between the Indian society and the West, 'the confusion of categories must end, a more realistic understanding of what obtains and Its origins must be had, and .. the central rty of every civilization should be understood, to the extent possible, within the civilization's own frame and preferences", Sri Dharampal asserted.
However, there was not much scope in this conference for taking up such a perspective for a serious discussion. It was unfortunate that Sri Dharampal's statement was part of the very last session. Had this statement been made at the very beginning, the conference could possibly have generated very different possibilities.
A meeting of the activists of the Mazdoor Kisan Neet! group took place at Varanasl on 26-27 December, 1987. Fifteen persons from various parts of the country participated in the meeting and took'part In the discussions. The discussions were centered around a basis-paper prepared by the convenor of the editorial board of Mazdoor Kisan Neeti, Sri Sunil Sahasrabuddhey and circulated among the participants earlier. There were three focal themes in the basis-paper namely,
(1) Peasant movements
(2) Future of Mazdoor Kisan Neeti and
(3) Possibility of establishing a Swadeshi Sama ' which would undertake research based on Swadeshi ideas and propagate it in the society.
1. Peasant movements:
In the first session, the present state of the peasant movement in the country was reviewed and the future possibilities were assessed. Dr R K Gandhi, who is the Convenor of the Interstate Coordination Committee of the Peasant Organisations, gave a detailed account of the present state of the peasant movement. The discussion centered around two points: (a) the limitations of an ideology based on 'exploitation through the agricultural price policy' (procurement prices for grains) and (b) the new trends which have surfaced during the recent agitation by peasants in Uttar Pradesh. Most of the participants were of the view that the price policy alone does not reflect the oppression of the "Swadeshi Sama " (i.e. the majority of our people living according to indigenous norms), it is true that a peasant who uses 'modem' techniques in agriculture and sells his produce to the market is directly affected by the price policy. But the modernisation of agriculture itself has been possible only due to the Investment of a portion of the capital accumulated through the looting of the productive power and resources of the majority in the Swadeshi Sama . How does one understand this exploitation? The loot of the hungry and drought-stricken peasants is hidden in the exploitation of the peasant through the price policy. If the movement Is to become a movement for national liberation, It is very essential that it should spread In the Swadeshi Sama . Till now, this has not been achieved in any state. It was not clear how to raise this issue In the peasant movement obtaining at present. One possibility Is to Initiate a debate In the press. Most of the participants were of the opinion that Swadeshi thinking must be strengthened in the existing movement Itself. This way It is possible to expand the scope of the movement along the lines mentioned earlier.'
A major portion of the session was devoted to the peasant movement In Uttar Pradesh and the agitation going on at present. There was unanimity (n the view that many new trends have emerged In this movement. The movement has transcended economic Issues and has strengthened Swadeshi thinking. This way it has provided a new direction. Sri Nlkhil Nigam and Dr.Surendra Suman presented a detailed analysis of the movement and drew the attention of the participants to Its novel features. Sri Nigam drew attention to the Panchayat :ype of decision-making and observed that the ideology of decentralised administration was being born. Dr.Suman emphasised the challenge posed by the movement to economism and felt that Sisauli (Mahendra Tikalt's village) Is emerging as the capital of the peasants. He felt that a peasant state and Swadeshi ideals were taking concrete shape there. Everybody agreed that it was not possible to understand this movement led by a real peasant through Western catagorles of thought and it was commonly felt that more openness in thinking and Swadeshi inspiration were necessary to understand this unique movement,
All the participants were of the opinion that apart from active participation in the organization of peasant movements, their main task was to strengthen Swadeshi thinking and bring it to the fore.
2. Mazdoor Kisan Neeti:
This session began with a review of the editorial policy, distribution and financial status of Mazdoor Kisan Neeti by Sri Sunil Sahasrabuddhey. Taking stock of the activities of the Mazdoor Kisan Neeti Community, the members noted that it had initiated the work of coordination of peasant movement and has been engaged in this task for the past 5-6 years. It was felt that this task has been more or less completed and it was not necessary to emphasis this task anymore. Apart from the publication of the periodical, ft was necessary that the group shoud concentrate on issues related to the Swadeshi Sama and initiate a debate on an alternate social order. The periodical should voice the ideas of the group.
Sri Sahasrabuddhey noted that Mazdoor Kisan Neeti was born at a time when there were no political movements aiming at fundamental changes in the society. Around 1980 such movements started acquiring importance. From that time onwards, there have been significant changes In the editorial policies. Now the group has reached a stage, where, for further evolution of its ideas and expansion of its influence, a new beginning is required even formally.
After discussing the various possibilities It was unanimously agreed that Mazdoor Kisan Neeti will cease publication. From April 1988, a new monthly called "Chhatra Kisan Neeti" will be published from Kanpur. Sri Ganesh Bagaria would take up the responsibility of editing and publication of the monthly. An editorial board was constituted.
3. Swadeshi Thinking:
In the third session, there was a lively discussion on Swadeshi thinking and how best to spread it in the larger society. Initiating the discussion, Sri Sahasrabuddhey put forth the view that because of two hundred years of slavery, whatever is Indigenous and Swadeshi has become restricted to the private domain and whatever is established and accorded respectability in the public sphere is imported and alien. We wear dhoti and pyjama at home and Western dress outside; we speak our own languages at home and speak an alien language outside; in our private life we derive inspiration from religion and negate the influence of religion in public life or become 'secular'; at home we make use of indigenous herbs and medicines and run behind allopathic drugs outside; we adopt the traditional attitude towards resolving disputes in private life and are slaves of the Western legal system outside; we believe in some values in private whereas our public life is based on an entirely different set of values, etc. The basic fact is that there has been a privatisation of our creativity and dynamism. Everything in the public sphere is based on Western ideas serving the interests of the Westernised ruling class. The Swadeshi Sama can move forward only If the privatised creativity and dynamism becomes public. Firm steps had been taken In this direction at one time under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. Now the peasant movement has raised hopes of a transformation in this direction again. The essential task in the Intellectual sphere is to clear the path for establishing the privatised ideas, values and outlook of the Swadeshi Sama in public life. To accomplish this, we must undertake research and make efforts to propagate these ideas in an organized manner.
There was an extensive discussion on this, in which the Importance of Swadeshi tendencies in the peasant movement of Uttar Pradesh came up again and again. Some participants emphasized the need for giving a concrete practical shape to the Swadeshi ideas whereas some others felt that at this stage there could only be an informal discussion on the practical aspects and Swadeshi should be viewed more as an act of faith
After a detailed discussion, the following decisions were taken:
(1) An organisation called "Swadeshi Sama " will be registered with the aim of undertaking Swadeshi research.
(2) By the end of 1989 books wilt be published on the following themes:
(a) Swadeshi thinking in the leadership of the peasant movement
(b) B ha rat-India division and Swadeshi view point In post-Independence Hindi literature
(c) The attitude of wealth and glory
(d) In defense of the emotional man
(e) The role of Dharma in the fight against. Westernisation
(f) Poetry on B ha rat-India division
(g) A study of Swadeshi education
(h) An anthology of articles on peasant movement in Mazdooi Kisan Neetl An alternate ideology in the context of Peasant movement.
(3) Several of the participants gave assurance of undertaking research projects.
Islam had a great role to play In almost all the fields of knowledge and science. When Greek philosophy, Indian medicine and Iranian mysticism reached to Muslims, they picked all these sciences without any hesitation and harvested them In their own scheme of things. We find that In the history of Islam, there were various rational schools, which were flourishing along with the theological, orthodox, science and jurisprudence enterprises. Muslims followed the Prophet's, tradition, that "the word of wisdom Is the last property of a believer, wherever he finds It, he should pick It up".
That this glorious past of Muslims In academic fields needs revival, was the basic theme of the Lucknow dialogue meeting between Ulema and modem Islamic Scholars from 27th to 29th january 1988 under the auspicies of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research. The dialogue was held in the Butlar Palace. After the inauguration of the dialogue by Prof Jamal Khawa a (Convenor of the Dialogue), Prof Daya Krishna said that although the, traditional things may now seem to be the stuff for museums, at the same time a need Is felt that the replies to our modem queries should be found from Knowledge grows and should not lapse In traditions.
Maulana Abul irtan Nadvi, a Professor from Nadvatal-Uloom, liucknow, spoke on the theme: 'The arrival of philosophical sciences to Muslims". He gave! a detailed survey of the different branches of science, which were acquired and developed by Muslims. According to Maulana the definition of philosophy is wider and it should encompass all aspects of cognitive and empirical enterprise, i.e. from metaphysics to natural sciences. 'There are two categories of knowledge, rational or philosophical sciences Muslims did not acquire knowledge only from the Greeks, but Maulana said. During the period of Mansur, an Abasid Khaltfah, were translated into Arabic. There Is an interesting story related Callfah was suffering from some stomach ailment. Some person suggested to him the use of the prescription of Indian physicians. The Calif ah did the same, and he was cured. As a result he ordered the translation of the Indian medicine books into Arabic. The basic agency to transmit Indian sciences to the Arab world was the "Baramukhs", who were originally the Buddhists, who had migrated from India, and some of them were successful In getting access to the courts of the Califahs. There is some evidence that Muslims and religious sciences, from Indians as well", Indian medical books In this connection. The learned mathematics from Indians. The greatest evidence in this respect is that the "Arabic Numerals", were originally known among Arabs as al-Arqamul-Hindia (Indian Numerals). The birth of zero (known as ciphor in Arbic) owes its origin to India. In political science there are some evidences, that Muslims benifited from Indian stories like Kalila wa Damna, which was translated by Ibn Mukafah into Arabic and fts origin was Indian. Because Indian philosophy was not systemetized properly, Muslims could not avail from it to the extent as they did in the case of Greek thought, as it was well organised and systamatized.
Muslims adopted Inductive logic instead of Deductive logic. It was the Muslims who first attempted a flight in the air. Abul Farmas of Spain was the first man, who tried to fly In the sky with the help of artificial waxed wings. It is suggested that philosophy and science had their Initial birth place in India, and from India shifted to Egypt, then to Greece and then from Greece to Arabia, but because sciences were systematized by Greeks, so we find a full mention of their philosophy in the history of world thought, where from all the subsequent nations took inspiration for.their respective thought patterns.
Muslims had not developed the rational sciences themselves (Uloom-I-Aqalia), they rather acquired these sciences from other nations i.e. Greeks and Indians. From Alaxenderia Muslims received medical sciences, astronomy, mathematics and pure philosophy.- The Institute for rational and philosophical sciences was established by the great Abbasid Califa 'Mansoor' and this Institute, which was known as House of Wisdom (Baitul-Hikmah) remained the basic centre for alt academic activities and scientific pursuits for at least three hundred and twenty five years.
It Is a common confusion spread by Western scholars and '.Orientalists' that Muslins were only the transmitters and at the most translators of Greek sciences. But, in fact, as has been highlighted by the learned participants in the meeting the Arabs not only translated the Greek philosophy and then transmitted it to the West; they also made valuable and original contributions to it. For example, in Aristotle's philosophy, there was no explanation about the internal relation or nexus between cause and effect. Muslim philosophers brought Ten intelligences' to bridge the gulf and fill the place of the mediatory agencies in the process of causation. In the same way Greek philosophers were not insisting on the necessity of cause of all the causes and seem mostly engaged in giving rational explanation of causation. This addition was made by Muslims and then adopted by Christian scholars and philosophers in medieval ages. Muslims developed Inductive logic Instead of deductive logic, Ibn Tammiyah developed a totally different sort of logic, based on Quranic verses instead of the Greek logical apparatus. The Greek philosophers seem reluctant to accept God without body, but Muslims developed the concept of God, which was devoid of form, in the Aristotalian sense. Nazzam. a Great Muslim philosopher declared that even the fragrance is a body i.e. ft is compossed of atoms.
The allegation that the translation by Arabs of Greek books were not authentic is also totally invalid. Instead the translations made were being prepared In a professional manner, and there were several revisions of these translations which came up with the passage of time and every precautionary measure was taken to assure their authenticity. The Western scholars do not acknowledge the contribution of Musitms to science and philosophy and they stop at the most by giving some passing references to the medieval Arab philosophy which is sheer In justice to this great edifice of knowledge. Europe has benefited from Arab philosophy tremendously. According to Maulana Abdul Bar! Nadvl, ('the European philosophy became theology in East, and Eastern theology was turned Into philosophy by the Westerners". European philosophy shows a great impact of Arab thought on ft, especially from the philosophers like Ghazzali, Ibn Slna and !bm Rushd. Prof. Jamal Khwa a, Hamid Naseem Rafiabadi and Dr Hamid Ali Khan emphasised the point that linguistic philosophy, which has become very famous recently, was long back developed by the Muslim philosophers and commentators on the Quran and books llke ITQAN were produced, which are a living testimony to the fact that Muslims were no! lagging behind in this field; rather we find some Intricate debates regarding syntax, etymology and shades of meaning in their books.
In the Indian context we find that there were great Muslim logicians, who have contributed to Greek logic. From Iran philosophy came to India in the period of the Mughal king Humayan. During the rule of odi dynasty, there was a considerable portion of rational sciences included in the syllabus. Mullah Yazdi (a great logician) came from Iran and , Indian students from Tulbulli went to Iran to learn rational sciences. There were such great scholars of philosophy as Ameer Fatahullah Shirazi. In Pun ab there was Mullah Abdul Hakim Siyalkbthi. In the era of Shahi jahan, Greek sciences were common place. Mullah Mohammad onepuri has written a thesis on the problem of time. However It should be mentioned here, that no separate books were written on philosophy proper; books were usually prepared to meet the teaching needs. The king Sikandar Lodhi used to attend the lectures of Mullah Abdullah Tulbuli. In Gujarat Mullah Zlauddin and Mullah eavan were prominent teachers of logic. Among the disciples of Naseeruddin Tusl who died in 771 Hi ra, were scholars like Mirza anana, Mullah Sadra and Mir Qutubuddln Razl. It Is said that some of his disciples also came to India.
This trend of rationalism was taken further by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, Muhsinul Muik, Ubadl, Chirag Ali etc. Prof Harsh Nara!n said that there was a parrallel development In philosophy both in Hindus and Muslims. But It is ironic that both the communities are not aware of this. Hence, the need for exploring the past in this direction. But Prof Harsh N a rain warned that we should be on our guard against the danger of 'free thinking', ff ft amounts to immorality.
The need for systematization 'of Islamic thought was earnestly felt by almost all participants. It was understood that there is a considerable portion of pure philosophy In Islamic sciences, where Muslim philosophers have expressed their views without worrying whether their views are in accordance with Quranic teachings or not. but there is a vast portion as well which deals with the detafls of Islamic belief system, which can be named as 'Philosophy of Religion", Theosophy, theology and philosophy are equally finding their expression in Islamic sciences,
It Is rather a problem of nomenclature for Islamic philosophy - whether it should be called Muslim philosophy, Arab philosophy or Islamic philosophy. But the point was highlighted In the dialogue that Quranic philosophy as such.has not been developed by Muslim scholars. However, there are some individual attempts by people like Ibn Tamiyah and Iqbal In this direction, but no systematic activity has taken place so far. The papers which were presented during the dialogue consisted of "Quranic Science and Semantic Philosophy by Hamid Naseem Rafiabadl, "The philosophy of being and nothingness in the tight of classical Islamic philosophy, by Prof Harsh Narain; "Scientific Method as envisaged by Quran'' by Dr Shams Tabriz Khan; "Philosophical sciences among Muslims in Mediaval India" by Furkh alali; "Semantic Philosophy and Muslim Scholasticism" by Dr Sanaullah Mir (Parwaz) and "Islamic philosophy of Meaning" by Dr Hamid All Khan. Among the distinguished scholars, who participated in almost all aspects of this philosophical dialogue were Prof Daya Krishna, Prof Dev Ra , Prof Raj Narain and Prof Roop Rekha Verma.
The West has portrayed a picture of various aspects of sciences, where oriental philosophers and scientists do not get any proper appreciation. For example, when development of philosophy from the Greek period onward is shown, there is no detailed mention of the long interval between Greeks and modem philosophy, and it has been shown as If philosophy has abruptly taken flight from ancient Greeks to modem Europe. But after a close scrutiny, we find that Greek philosophy was developed by Muslim philosophers and many revisions were made by them and it was developed to the extent where it could become a totally different enterprise. Ghazzali, about five hundred years before Descartes propounded a systematic method of doubt, which is in no respect less Important than that of Descartes. But there is no mention in histories of philosophy about this method. M.M.Shartf, In his famous book 'The Sources and Achievements of Muslim Thought", has gone to the extent of saying that Ghazzali was the first philosopher, who could accomodate sense-experience, rational discourse, and intuition in his philosophy in a comprehensive way. From Descartes onwards, there were several attempts to do justice with all these sources of knowledge, but we find that there is only evidence of partial approach to one or other of these sources of knowledge. It was after a hectic endeavour that Bergson could mention a type of intuitionism, but that too not fully spelt out in a proper manner. But Ghazzali, centuries before, had successfully provided the paradigm in this direction.
The philosophical dialogue between Ulema and modem scholars was a great Inspiring factor In the effort to evacuate the old and new contributions of the Muslim scholars in the field of philosophy and science. It was resolved in the meeting, both by Muslim and Hindu scholars, that a new history of philosophy and thought should be written, In which ail the nations should get proper representation and their contributions to world philosophy should be highlighted.

Meet Diego, an amazing artist from Madrid
A month ago, we went to Madrid to shoot great pictures but also to get to know more of Diego also known as @degoista. We weren't going to leave the Capital until we met him in real life! He's a very cool 30-year-old guy from Venezuela and we're really excited to tell you today his incredible story.
Get to know him!
Urban art
Film Lover
Two years ago, Diego decided to pack his suitcase and leave his home country to live a new exciting experience abroad. As he always had a soft spot for Spanish culture, he moved first to the vibrant & cosmopolitan lifestyle of Barcelona where he graduated in Cinema and Photography and later, ended up in Madrid, the city to the top of art and culture scene.
"I love the people but also the culture and the amount of stuff you can do here, it's just endless! I am a big fan of Urban Art and here it is everywhere! It's so impressive & enjoyable! "
Diego shares his flat in the La Latina neighbourhood with Matthew, a 27-year-old english guy. It didn't take him too long to decide to move to La Latina because of its authenticity and colourful atmosphere.
"When I arrived here, Matthew made me discover the best locals. It's really cool to have your personal city guide here 🙂 Now we have our Sunday ritual to go to Bocono for the best latte in town"
For Diego, flat sharing was the best option to integrate easily and faster in this new city.
He is so keen on latino Culture that he can even do scrummies arepas from Venezuela even though he is english.
"It sounds like a joke you know… but I can promise you when you come back from work and you have a top Chef waiting for you with a delicious meal, it's like heaven!"
"And now that Summer is coming, I will teach him how to move those hips like a latino that will leave everyone falling at his feet" His best advice is to be open to what the person can offer but also what you can offer back. For those who want to improve their languages, they should do it their way!
At home, they speak Spanglish and they love it!

Driftwood – Tap Takeover
An introduction to tomorrow's flight as select and written by our in-house certified cicerone®, Vladislav Evdaev.
Our cherished West Coast hops tend to ripen for the pickin' in the end of summer, which gives brewers 6-12 hours to get the hops into a brew to get some of the most delicious hopped beers around; in the Pacific Northwest Sartori Harvest Fresh-hop from Driftwood has been one of the most sought after fresh-hop IPAs year after year. Since, one must drink the fresh-hops soon after harvesting, I am more delighted than words can say to welcome Driftwood Brewing as our October Tap Takeover.
Let's start our flight with the easy-drinking and crisp German-style Arcus Pilsner that displays a clean Noble Hop character to ready the palate for Driftwood's infamous IPAs. Next up, let's go from the German tradition to the English pale ale (aka ESB – the predecessor of American IPAs) embodied in the prominent malt backbone of Naughty Hildegard with a Pacific Northwest hop twist showcasing guava, mango and citrus flavours. Finally, you can savour the much anticipated Sartori Harvest IPA brewed with wet-hopped Centennial hops grown in BC – I will let this beer talk for itself. Following Sartori is no easy task, but the small batch, Raised by Wolves IPA, can hold its own weight with the complex flavours of papaya, mango and melon of Equinox hops that are accentuated by Brett Trois yeast. Lastly, let's finish the flight with a truly unique ale, the Peated Belgian, which has a soft-smoky flavour from the peat that is balanced with sweet toffee malts and notes of bubblegum, caramel and plum. Hope you enjoyed your flights.
So join us tomorrow evening for a great evening with Driftwood brewery and live music from Michael Fabro.
You can view out current craft beer menu here.

According to a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, wearing high heels habitually can lead to permanent body changes in the tendons, back, hips and knees. What makes high heels bad for women? Well, the possible injuries may originate from the changes in ergonomics that happen when someone wears stilettos and other high heeled shoes.
When you wear high heels, the weight of the body is usually concentrated on the ball of the foot. This makes the person more unstable because the weight is not distributed evenly throughout the foot. The body now compensates by pushing on the knees and hips forward. In addition, the back arches to make the body more stable. These changes make the person wearing high heels more stable, but eventually cause long term changes in the physiologic make-up of the body areas contributing to changes in posture, gait and even pain.
Aside from these, a certain study has found that wearing high heels habitually can strain the calf muscles. Women in the experimental group (those who wore high heels) have significant strain on their calf muscles than those who wore low heeled shoes. With all these evidences, it is then concluded that high heels may not be the healthiest footwear that women can use. Nevertheless, there are certain strategies to make them safer and still continue to provide glamour and sexiness to women. These include:
- Wearing alternate heights
Wearing alternate heights prevents the tendons of the foot to shorten permanently. Try to use high heels with alternate heights in this regard.
- Choose wedge shoes
Wedge shoes still give you that height, but give your feet more surface area to rest on making it healthier for the foot.
- Use high heels during special occasions
High heels should not be worn on a daily basis. If you need to walk along the street, use flat shoes or rubber shoes instead. Reserve the high heels for special occasions where you walk through carpeted and cork floors that tend to absorb tension off your feet.
- Don't forget to stretch
A good way to rest your feet after wearing high heels is to stretch your plantar fascia by placing a stretch band on your soles and pull the band towards you. Women who are fond of wearing high heels should do this at the end of the day and before wearing the shoes.
- Use shoe inserts
There are also several shoe inserts that can be used along with high heeled shoes to provide adequate cushion and arch support to make using high heels a more pleasant experience instead of a painful indulgence.
Since using high heels is indispensable for women, employing measures to lessen the injury that these shoes pose is a good way to turn unhealthy footwear into something safe.

Today´s Deals
The holiday season brings the season of gift giving and what makes shopping during this time such a joy are the many great deals that await savvy shoppers.
Many shoppers would still go for the traditional way of shopping (that is going to malls and local stores instead of shopping online) in the spirit of the holiday season.
To get you started, search the internet for links to top local malls to get a glimpse of what promotions their various shops are offering and to get information on concierge and parking services.
Knowing such information would help you in deciding which shopping malls and stores to hit first to get a grab on sale, discounted or closeout items that you are mainly looking for.
Your local newspaper would also contain advertisements of the various promotional deals being offered by local shops and stores inside malls.
Shopping during the holidays would mean crowded malls and parking spaces so it is advised that you dress comfortably and leave unnecessary items at home that could be in the way when you shop.
Avoid bringing bulky bags or purses so that you could carry more packages. You don't want to weigh yourself with so many bags so you might as well be making several trips to your car to leave some of the shopped items.
Get a first-hand look at some of the hot holiday offerings by calling ahead of time and having a salesperson set them aside for you if it is okay with the store.
Who says you can't shop like a celebrity? Many people will scour the stores during the holiday season, and you wouldn't want to be left with products and items that many people have gone through already.
Many of the good finds would no longer be available.
Shop smart and bring a list especially if you have limited time. Having a file and the store from which you are supposed to buy the gift item from would speed things up.
It is also best to avoid the busiest shopping times which are usually between noon and 6 p.m.
Keep your eyes alert for deals for many of the stores run sales, specials, and discounts during this time of the year.
It's the season to be joyous so don't let your temper get in the way. It is important that you are patient and kind to everybody.

Family Holidays: Tips for Peace and Harmony
What do you like to do on family holidays? Go to the beach or spend a week in the country? Maybe you like camping or visiting relatives.
Whatever you enjoy, family holidays are a chance for everyone in the family to get reacquainted and spend quality time together. It's a chance for parents to talk with their teens and find out what's going on in their lives.
It's important to keep the communication lines open, and a family holiday is a good time to do that. Having a good relationship with their parents is one of the most important factors in keeping teens out of trouble.
Studies have shown that when families take holidays together, they are more likely to eat together and are less likely to argue. They do not watch as much television because they are involved in doing things together.
Kids even report that their parents seem to act differently while on holiday.
While family holidays are a good time to connect with your kids, communication problems that are already there will not automatically disappear.
Especially with teenagers, it is essential to listen and be flexible. Find out what the kids would like to do and eat and plan accordingly. While even teenagers need boundaries, it is essential for parents to try to avoid needless confrontation.
Explain why you make the decisions you do and show them positive attention.
Kids will appreciate being included in travel plans. There's a good chance they will choose a theme park or the beach if those are among the options. Sometimes it works well for a teenager to take a special friend along on family holidays.
While this might increase the parents' load, the teen is likely to appreciate it. Also, sometimes it works well for kids to go on holidays with their grandparents instead of their parents.
Sometimes there is a special relationship here that can help kids open up and communicate about their concerns.
While on family holidays, if teens are uncooperative or misbehave, try to deal with the problem in private. Teens are very aware of embarrassment, and it is needlessly mean to exploit this sensitivity.
[amazon_link asins='B07FC83VR3,B076P4TXB6,B071D9J878′ template='ProductCarousel' store='lmtorres-20′ marketplace='US' link_id="]
You might explain to the kids how their behavior embarrasses you, and they, in turn, might work harder at getting along and acting appropriately.
Kids will be happier on family vacations if they have snacks, drinks, and entertainment.
Few kids enjoy a long ride in the car! Try to provide individual CD players or hand-held video games, and don't forget to take plenty of bathroom stops.
Sometimes kids enjoy the ride more if they can help you follow the map. This is an educational activity for them as well. By following these suggestions, your family holidays can make a happy memory.

Orange County home buyers eligible for a VA loan are able to purchase a home in 2019 for up to $726,525 with $0 down. *VA loan limits vary by county and are listed below. Although VA will, in 2019, finance up to 100% of a $726,525, it is possible to get a larger loan by coming in with some down payment. The down payment is calculated by taking 25% the difference between the purchase price and the county's maximum 100% financing limit. For example, if a VA eligible homebuyer purchases a home for $926,525, or $200,000 above Orange County's 100% financing limit, the total down payment would be $50,000.

Coker announces NASCAR partnership, which company denies
April 4, 2017
Scott Coker tweeted out on Monday a new partnership between Bellator, Monster Energy and NASCAR. However, NASCAR says it does not have a partnership with the company.
Per MMA Junkie, NASCAR stated it "does not have a partnership with Bellator." ESPN reported it obtained a revised news release from Bellator which stated "Details to come soon."
The tweet from Coker has since been deleted.
In 2014, Bellator partnered with Monster Energy to host fights at the Monster Energy Cup in Las Vegas. Bellator held four fights at a Supercross event as a way to establish a huge crossover in its target demo.
Payout Perspective:
Interesting faux pas by Bellator or NASCAR here. Usually these partnerships include positive quotes from all parties involved. The fact NASCAR denied the partnership makes one think that someone doesn't want to be associated with MMA. We will see what the updated details will be.

'Tis The Season
I am grateful for the return of Corporate Gifting this year. I was honored to help a customer with her client gifts and thrilled to hear that they were very well received.
She e-mailed the following…
"This is from a BIG client of mine…and at lunch yesterday, they "raved" about it…The client said,"WOW! What an awesome gift box we just received! We are already stuffing our faces with cheese straws and chocolate!!!"
Since 2003, I have had one mission, to exceed my customers expectations. Since I can't "out Amazon, Amazon" what I strive to do is offer customer service second to none. My customers are the reason I have had the privilege to do this job for the last 13 years.
I wish you all the best of the Season and a healthy and prosperous 2017. Barbara

Fascinating Facts About French Bulldogs
Rita Putatunda
Nov 18, 2018
The French bulldog is a smaller variation of the English bulldog. Here is more information about this unique breed.
Despite its name, the French bulldog actually has its origins in England. A group of artisans in England, mostly lace-makers who had a penchant for the bulldog breed but were not keen on dog-fighting, bred a small-sized dog weighing between 16 lbs to 28 lbs.
With the Industrial Revolution spreading in England, these lace-makers as well as other artisans migrated to France along with their small bulldog breed, in order to ply their trade. This small breed became popular in France, and by the latter part of the 1800s, they were crossbred with French terriers and began to be called Frenchies or French bulldogs.
When affluent American travelers visited Paris, they too were enamored by the little Frenchies, and hence took them back home to the US. The breed was first exhibited in 1896 at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
This is a muscular and compact breed with a bone structure that is solid, a flat muzzle with a pug nose, and a smooth coat. The tail is not cropped but is short naturally, and it can be screwed or straight.
The head is square and large, and the eyes are set wide-apart and are dark-colored. They are round in shape and should neither be bulging nor sunken.
The ears are referred to as 'bat ears', which are rounded on the upper part and broad at the base, and are erect. The dog's facial expression is that of intelligence, displaying curiosity and alertness. The height is 12 inches when measured at the shoulders. They come in two ranges of weight, 22-28 lbs and 19-22 lbs.
The dog's coat comes in various colors and patterns. Basically, the coat is fawn-colored, which ranges from pale-cream, to café au lait, and deep red. The further differences that can be seen are largely due to variations in the markings of the patterns, which in turn can range from black stripes to brindles.
They also come in various degrees of thickness and repetition which overlies the base fawn color, pied with various brindle patches that overlie the fawn base interspersed with markings of white.
They bare also available as the fawn base is masked with black, with various shades and patterns occurring on the dorsal region of the body and the face. Within these parameters, there is a myriad of variations in the placement, sizes, patterns, and types of markings.
Some examples of the colors and coat patterns that occur in this breed are blue-brindle or blue, tiger-brindle, pale-creams that range from butterscotch to pale-gold, brindle-pied, ticked-pied, and black-brindle which is also referred to as seal-brindle. The coat requires minimal grooming.
This breed belongs to a group of dogs known as mastiffs, which were used chiefly as guard dogs or watchdogs. However, this dog has a tendency of displaying a comical trait in its personality, which is what endears it to many people. It is affectionate and playful as well as alert and curious.
Due to the comical trait in its character, it loves clowning around and can play and run about for many hours. It has a great need for companionship and cannot thrive minus it. It has a tendency of bonding strongly with a single person in the family. If puppies are raised with children, they are very good with them.
If you are thinking of buying a puppy, first of all you need to locate a good dog breeder. You can check breeders on the Internet or in your locality.
It is a good idea to visit various breeders and check how the puppies are kept, how they move about, and look. Pay particular attention to the coat of the puppy to see if it is glossy.
Puppies display their future individualities right from when they are a month and a half old. For example, they can be shy, sociable, courageous, boisterous, or quiet - or different variations of these - which can be discerned from very early on. By the time they are one and a half months old, their weight should be about 2 kg.
A puppy that comes from a good lineage will have a broad chest, short and wide paws, and a large head. The body should be compact and short, particularly with the males. At this age, the ears may not be erect yet. By the time the pup becomes four months old, its ears will become erect.
All puppies need to be given obedience training from a very early age, which should be based on reward and not punishment.
Generally, French bulldogs are frolicsome, good-natured, and amiable dogs. They make great companions for the elderly, single people, as well as for families.

Lakota Dawn - Sarsaparilla Rooibos
Long ago in the American west, one soft drink ruled the markets. Sarsaparilla. Brewed from the root of the sarsaparilla plant, commonly infused with sassafras, this drink took America by storm. In the 50's, sarsaparilla was found to be a carcinogen, and outlawed. In this modern era, however, the government doesn't care much about what's a carcinogen and isn't anymore, so it's totally legal!
Seriously, guys, it's fine. This tea is totally drinkable, just don't chew on the root itself all day.
This rooibos-based herbal is spiced just enough to make a pleasant sarsaparilla soda replacement. Now many might confuse this flavor with root beer, but let us tell you, it's definitely different. While root beer is creamy and sweet, rolling down your throat, sarsaparilla bites and snaps on your tongue with a similar flavor, but none of the creaminess, and far less sweetness.
Brewing Suggestions
- Use 7g (≈1 tbsp) of leaf per ½ liter (≈17 oz) of water.
- Use boiling (100°C/212°F) water
- Steep for 4 minutes, strain leaves, and enjoy!
- Like milk in your tea? Steep an extra minute!
- Too strong? Take off a minute, or use 5g of leaf instead!
- Too light? Kick it up another minute, or use 10g of leaf instead!
- Wanna do a tea latte?
- Use 11g (≈1½ tbsp) of leaf per ½ liter (≈17 oz).
- Steep 2 minutes in ¼ liter (≈8 oz) boiling (100°C/212°C) water
- Add ¼ liter (≈8 oz) hot milk, steep another 3 minutes.
- Strain leaves, add sugar if you like (1 tsp usually does it), and enjoy!
South African red rooibos, wild cherry bark, sarsaparilla root, blackberry leaf, and extracts.

My friends and I love this! A crowd pleasing blend of herbs and that hint of "root beer". I like it with a touch of milk

New Nutrients Action Programme
Thursday, 4 July, 2019
By Policy Officer, Aileen Lawson
Earlier this year, DAERA reached an agreement with the European Commission (EC) on a new Nutrients Action Programme (NAP) for Northern Ireland, replacing the previous Nitrates Action Programme and Phosphorus (Use in Agriculture) Regulations. The nitrates derogation was also approved following intensive scrutiny by the European Commission, followed by a unanimous approval vote by the EU Nitrates Committee.
Prior to EC approval, DAERA had undertaken a consultation with NI stakeholders. The Ulster Farmers' Union fought hard and were successful in forcing DAERA to make several changes to their original proposals. Many of these if implemented, would have caused significant issues on farms. Despite these wins, the UFU remain concerned that there are a number of changes that will add cost and bureaucracy for more farmers.
The Department have issued a summary of the new measures and this can be found on the DAERA website. Further information and guidance will be issued to farmers later this year. All farmers should make themselves aware of the new NAP, to ensure they are compliant and can keep their payments safe as well as protecting the waterways.
The changes are being phased in but farmers need to be aware of what is coming down the line in order to ensure their businesses are prepared.
This year poultry farmers should note the amendments to excretion rates for different poultry production systems; poultry farmers must make sure they're using the correct figures when calculating the N loading on their farm.
Another change that has been introduced in 2019, is new spreading restrictions from 30 September – 15 October. Farmers spreading slurry in early October will have to abide by increased buffer zones in fields adjacent to waterways, and the maximum slurry application rate has been reduced from 50m3/ha (4500gallons/acre) to 30m3/ha (2700gallons/acre) at any one time.
Dairy farmers should be aware that from 1st January 2020, the N excretion rate has been increased from 91kgN/cow/year to 100kgN/cow/year. This will result in dairy farmers requiring more acres/cow from next year to meet the Nitrogen loading limits (170kgN/ha/year). On the plus side, N excretion rates for the other categories of cattle have decreased slightly.
Rules around the use of phosphorus fertiliser will get tougher from 2020 to ensure chemical fertiliser containing phosphorus, is only used where it is needed. The rules around spreading chemical phosphorus will now be part of cross-compliance and farmers must carry out soil testing and keep additional records to prove the need for the fertiliser. Applying excess phosphorus is costly for the farmer and the environment therefore it is vital that farmers who are not currently doing so, start soil testing and if necessary, either attend training on nutrient management, or seek expert advice on fertiliser applications.
Over the summer the UFU will be working with DAERA, NIEA and other stakeholders to ensure the new NAP Guidance Booklet being produced to interpret and explain the new regulations is practical and useful for farmers.
The UFU would remind farmers that the routine inspections for the environmental aspects of cross-compliance, including the NAP, are now underway. Over the last few years NIEA have identified a range of non-compliance issues with the main reasons for breaches being, failure to provide sufficient nitrates records, inadequate storage facilities associated with middens and concerns around storage.
Farmers should make themselves aware of the details and requirements of cross compliance to ensure they are compliant and to protect their payments. NIEA will normally give at least seven days notice of an inspection and the UFU can provide advice and assistance on preparing for an inspection.

Farming at Holkham
Farm Conservation Policy
With the demise of compulsory set-aside, the estate has opted to continue with its policy of maintaining a diverse habitat with the use of un-cropped strips. All in-house farms now have a six metre un-cropped margin between the hedge and the crop and approximately one third of this area is funded under Entry Level and Higher Entry Level schemes; the remainder is funded by the estate. All are managed to Natural England standards. Wherever possible, mowing is delayed until late July in order to limit damage to ground nesting birds. Game cover strips to provide food and insects for game birds and wildlife are also planted.
Conservation headlands
As well as the six metre margin between crop and hedge in cereal crops, in some places, a further six metre margin is planted and treated as a low input margin. This involves no use of fertilisers or agrochemicals. This results in a thinner, weedier crop that is ideal for cover for young birds and supplies a plentiful source of insects. A small area of conservation headland is funded by Natural England. The introduction of wild bird seed mixtures has been incorporated into land that is difficult to farm.
Hedges and hedge banks
Many hedges have now been coppiced and replanted where gaps have appeared. Cutting is limited to twice in every three years, with no cutting taking place between the end of February until the beginning of August, to allow hedges to fruit. Cutting is delayed as long as possible into the winter to leave food, such as berries, for wild birds. Roadside verges and hedges are cut more frequently for road safety.
All fertiliser is applied as liquid across the in-house farms and analysis is monitored to ensure minimal levels of heavy metals are applied. Liquid fertilisers can be applied more accurately than solids, avoiding the risk of drift into hedges, where high nutrients encourage hedgerow plants to grow unnaturally big. Organic manures, both imported and home produced, are used to try and help maintain the soil organic matter content.
Integrated crop management techniques are used wherever possible to minimise pesticide use. Use of resistant varieties has resulted in no aphicides being sprayed onto wheat ears in the last five years. This allows the populations of ladybirds and lacewings to flourish. When pesticides have to be used, the safest product is always selected.
Entry level and higher level schemes
All of our in-house farms are either in ELS or HLS which are Natural England funded agreements that run over a course of ten years. This concerns the management of certain hedgerows and field margins; a policy which has been extended to all in-house farmed farms. It has also helped fund the return of some arable land to traditional grassland, populated by locally native species, and managed without the use of fertilisers or pesticides.
Single Farm Payment
In 2004/5 the system of subsidy payment to farmers was decoupled from production and payments were made even if a crop was not grown, as long as the land was kept in 'good agricultural order' (as defined by GAEC12). This was to reduce the incentive for farmers to produce a crop into an already oversupplied market. A series of conditions have to be complied with and deductions are made to the payment for breaches in the conditions. The area of compulsory set-aside has been slowly eroded in 2007 and 2008 as concerns over shortfalls in European production grew. The introduction of set-aside in 2005 resulted in many poorer areas of land being taken out of production; this has also included many small areas and field corners. With the demise of set-aside, Holkham Farms has entered into more HLS and ELS schemes to help increase the biodiversity across the farms. With the easing of the set-aside rules, many of these areas can now be used to grow crops purely for the benefit of wildlife.

Around eight weeks ago I travelled to Katja's house who I have worked with before when I photographed her two daughters' baptism a year ago. Katja is also my friend, our oldest are same age. I was very excited when Katja told me that she expected her third child. She doesn't know the gender of the baby and I am currently chatting to Katja about potentially photographing her birth. We will see. In any case I will be back for newborn portraits in not too long.
As you can see from the pictures the older of the two daughters showed a lot of interest in the bump (she will be a great older sister!). The younger one was the clown of the day 🙂 . I really loved seeing the unity of this family. This is one very lucky little baby boy or girl!
Thank you for making it to the end of this post!

Adventure, In Unexpected Destinations
Adventure motivates some to travel and see the world while creating new experiences and embracing new cultures. If this sounds like you then maybe the conventional relaxing honeymoon isn't your cup of tea. Whatever your adventure is there are places in the world to experience them whether it be abroad or in the U.S. Adventurous activities are also a great way to bond with your fiance, especially if it's something you're both passionate about such as surfing or rock climbing. New to adventure but want something out-of-this-world for your honeymoon this is a good time to start looking. Here is our list of amazing adventure experiences.
Outer Banks, North Carolina
This string is islands off the North Carolina coastline makes for a fabulous and adventurous honeymoon destination. If you or your fiance love fishing, the Outer Banks has been named a fisherman's paradise where you can catch tuna, sailfish or marlin through charter fishing, brackish fishing or fly fishing. If water sports are your thing they try their jet skiing experience, ocean and sound kayaking or dolphin cruises. The can't miss activity is their huge active dune system at Jockey's Ridge State Park.
Visiting Africa in itself is an adventure but going to Morocco opens up a plethora of activities and experiences to share for a lifetime. Take a day trip through the ancient Berber Trails across the Atlas Mountains and discover the traditional culture and customs. Trek through the Rif mountains, go surfing or take camel rides through the Sahara desert. Don't miss the Blue Streets of Chefchaouen or a cooking class in Moroccan food.
Lhasa, Tibet
Seeing the Himalaya's is an adventure at that should be at the top of your bucket list. Staying in Tibet's capital, Lhasa, gives you access to travel by car to Kathmandu, Nepal where along the way you can visit ancient monasteries, get a view of Mount Everest and tours of Tibet. Many travel companies off tours up to 8 days where you can hike to Everest base camp, explore Lhasa and the bustling street markets.
Machu Picchu, Peru
Find the Lost Cities of the Incas in the thick Amazonian Jungle. The Inca Trail is 25 miles from Cuzco through Andean ravines that will take you out of your comfort zone and expose you to a climb that overlooks the ancient ruins and Urubamba Valley. The routes can take anywhere between two to four days but it is strenuous and not for a first-time hiker. If you want to visit the area without the hike you can take a shuttle bus to the ruins.
Tenerife, Spain
Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and a popular European holiday destination. This location is a favorite among scuba divers and is world famous for windsurfing. See the black volcanic sands of Playa Americanas beach, go mountain or road biking through Tenerife or go hiking through Loro Park. Whether you want to honeymoon by land or by sea, Tenerife won't give you a boring vacation.
Are you motivated for adventure yet? These six destinations are only a few from extensive lists we found on The Knot, Trip Advisor and US News that we strongly encourage you to visit to learn more about other activities and adventure to go on.
Happy Planning,

Hi guys, newbie on the forums but a long time lurker. So I'm replacing my stock VXL-3S Velineon system in my slash 4x4 with the Castle Creations Max Pro Sct Combo/1415-2400Kv Motor, and wanted to know what gears you'd reccomend for speed runs (2400kv). I won't be doing any bashing. Mainly for racing. I won't be racing it at any tracks yet, but in large parking lots and flat pavements. I currently been running my VXL on 3s, 13/54 & 18/54 and it rips pretty nicely but I'm getting tired of it and wanted something a little faster. Maybe a gear combo with higher top end, but good acceleration.
What's on my slasher so far.
1. RPM arms all around.
2. Proline Streetfighters
3. aluminum towers rear/front (i think by traxxas)
4. Traxxas 3S, 11.1V, 5000mAh, 25C "Power Cell"
5. STRC chassis (not installed yet)
6. Rulux Wheels by jconcepts on JCONCEPTS G-Locs 2.8" Tire w/Insert (not installed yet).
7. Pro-Line PowerStroke installed already.
8. sway bars rear/front
Everything else is stock.
Thanks guys
Bro get mips at least rear. If not both too. But im new to rc too and just got the 2400. Geared 22/50 now. But before I stripped a 52 spur. With a 22 pinion. I bash and do speed runs to. On 3s its fast. But on a 4s its stupid fast.
But the reason why I stripped a spur I was running a 4s on the sand with paddles.
Someone on here has ran a 25 pinion and 50 spur. So I guess the main thing is to watch your temps. I have been doing that. And the hottest I have gotten was 168 motor and 140 abouts esc. On 4s geared 22/52. Speed runs and doing donuts.
Sent from my Samsung NOTE 2.
Thanks gofastandbeatit. I will definitely look into those for rear and front. I noticed they are like $75 each set.....but I can't see not getting them. I like 4s stupid fast, lol
The mips are beefy and for me basher friendly. Like I said I like donuts and gunning my slash from a stop. Seeing all 4 wheel spinning is pretty fun.
Sent from my Samsung NOTE 2.
I ran them on my Bandit which is geared for 70mph but I don't have extra weight on the front so the car will flip anytime I get past 1/2 throttle.
The slash 4x4 I have was originally a 104mph car running 6s and a Tekin RX8 2000kv combo.
My friend got it as a roller and I put it back to 100% stock form for him. I traded a Tekin RX8 2000kv setup for the Slash 4x4 10 days ago and put the GTR body on it last week while I waited for my Raptor body to arrive.
This is what it looked like when I got it,
Most parts and the electronics were only a month old.
My Slash 4x4 looks like this now,

Douglas County schools pilot color-coded student personality tests
posted by: Guest Blogger
Colors have taken on a new meaning in the Douglas County School District.
Children are not just learning about the vibrant green hue that comes from mixing yellow and blue on a color wheel. They are using colors to describe the way they think, behave and learn.
The 65,000-student school district is piloting a program at 14 campuses in which sixth-graders answer 84 questions that include how comfortable they are with switching back and forth between tasks, whether they will start a project before they have a plan and if they worry about how their actions affect others.
Based on their answers, students get a color-coded profile that outlines their preferred way of thinking by assigning percentages to four categories: social, structural, conceptual and analytical.
Summit View Elementary School fifth-grader Kelli Ell is primarily green, a structural thinker, which means she is practical, likes guidelines and prefers a hands-on approach.
"It says that I'm a lot of green, but I think that I'm a little less because sometimes my desk inside gets a little messy," she said.
District officials said the program, which was developed by a company called Emergenetics International, offers an innovative tool for teachers to better communicate with children and to craft lessons that reflect different learning styles.
Kathy Reoh, a fourth-grade teacher at Summit View, said she uses the profiles to tailor her teaching approach in a way that honors her students' thinking styles.
"Up until this point, when I opened a student's file, the only data I had was tests and some teacher's notes to show me who these kids are," Reoh said. "This is who the kids really are. This gives me a fresh approach on how I can reach them and help them to learn more."
The Douglas County School District invested more than $86,000 in the program for children. The district has spent more than $176,000 since 2009 on adult profiles, which CLICK TO READ ON

As a former teacher I can tell you for a FACT that kids learn in different ways. Yes they need to learn those skills, but the WAY in which kids learn them BEST varies from kid to kid — not everyone learns by drill and repeat, or lecture, or hands on, etc.
August 28, 2013
I've been thinking about this. Like Myers-Briggs, it gives self guidance. However, at a young age, children are still trying to define themselves. I'd like to see those 84 questions.
August 28, 2013
As a teacher, I think knowing more about how my students learn and think is a good thing. It allows me to differentiate better for each style so they can learn math, spelling, and writing. When you have 30 kids in your class, it's difficult to individualize their educations, but this test gives you a place to start. I'm not saying it should be the only thing used to plan lessons, but it does help. Also, student awareness about how they learn is a good thing. I'm not sure why anyone would think it was a bad thing to know more about yourself as a learner.
August 28, 2013
I've seen varying examples of this color/personality theory work well in businesses. I do think we have to give some credence to different learning personalities and if it's labeled by "color" so be it. However, I odn't think any child should ever be defined by any kind of label when it comes to education…personality, perceived intelligence, income level, race, gender, home life, anything. Every kid is capable of learning and every kid is a blend of all these colors/personalities.
August 28, 2013
In a perfect world this would be helpful but right now there are so many other priorities in this district that need to be addressed first. The November election can't get here soon enough!

Support growing for Northern Gateway, BC Chamber poll finds
Vancouver, December 9, 2013 – More and more British Columbians are backing the Northern Gateway pipeline project, according to a new poll (.pdf) released today by the BC Chamber of Commerce.
The poll found that 47 per cent of British Columbians now support the project. Significantly, the poll found that B.C. support of the project swells to 57 per cent if the project can achieve a positive recommendation from the Joint Review Panel and to 63 per cent if the project can meet Premier Christy Clark's five conditions for all new oil projects.
"This poll confirms what we've been hearing anecdotally: British Columbians know what's at stake here and, while they fiercely protect our province's Super Natural brand, they don't want to see this opportunity slip away," said John Winter, president and CEO of the BC Chamber.
Winter said the BC Chamber undertook this poll because of the significance of this project's fate to B.C.'s future investment opportunities.
"This isn't just a pipeline at stake – it's B.C.'s future as a have or have-not investment jurisdiction," Winter said. "We felt that B.C. businesses and potential investors needed clear information that, if a project can meet high Canadian and B.C. environmental and community standards, the majority of British Columbians will support it."
The poll also found that:
- Seven out of 10 British Columbians (70 per cent) believe the project will transform the economy of Northern B.C.;
- A clear majority (60 per cent) of British Columbians are worried about losing out on economic benefits if it does not go ahead; and
- Six out of 10 British Columbians (59 per cent) believe the project is important to Canada's national interest.
The live telephone survey of 1,050 adult British Columbians was conducted between November 22, 2013 and November 29, 2013 and has a margin of error of +/- 3.0%, nineteen times out of twenty. The survey was sponsored by the BC Chamber and conducted by Maple Leaf Strategies.
