In my view, in the world of FileMaker Server the concerns of owners and admin with FMS11 and earlier are little different to those of FMS14 admins today. Yes, the product has developed and we now have the new appearance layer from 12 onwards, and WebDirect from 13 on. But, the underlying issue remains, how do you get to understand FileMaker Server and get the best out of it, when it is trivial to build a very "bad" FM solution that is slow and unscaleable and when FMI provides no comprehensive and clear advice? FM software does little to prevent folk using the freedom of FM in that manner, because as an "enabling" and "accessible" type of software it lacks the controls, the digital police, that a more prescriptive system may include. It also works very hard to keep users of legacy systems on-board and supported and their solutions inevitably include much that would regarded as poor design today and hence cannot easily deprecate old techniques, so FMI's options are limited. Hence my having been developing a "mobile first" design framework since April 2012, and having eventually worked out what does work, I was encouraged by various folk to develop my report on "Understanding and Tuning FileMaker Server Performance" and publish. I have also published an early version of part of the report here on FMHacks and done two videos for Richard Carlton Consulting here and here which cover some of the report material. My work has been validated by folk at FMI (who wish to remain anonymous), Wim Decorte, Richard Carlton and Alan Stirling. This is the first detailed and comprehensive report on this subject for many years, you can read it here and download a pdf here. Many of the techniques I have developed, and to which the report alludes, are included in the free and open source Deskspace dsBenchmark tool, which can be downloaded from here. I would encourage your responses, and disagreement, if you feel so moved. We all move forward by rigorously testing both the old and the new and no doubt you can offer improvements and additions to what I have constructed. Where I am persuaded, your input will be included in the ongoing Report and duly credited. The current version of my Report is of course the html pages on deskspace.com, not a dead paper document. In fact wasn't that what Sir Tim Berners-Lee had in mind when he invented and donated http, html and the World Wide Web? This ease of editing is facilitated by our new Deskspace rwApp creating the responsive web pages that comprise www.deskspace.com - but that is perhaps another story. Cheers, Nick
Portal Performance issue with almost NO records
MSPJ posted a topic in FileMaker Server 16So I have a hosted solution, with a dashboard with a couple portals. When I go to scroll a portal, scrolling even one portal screen has a delay of a few seconds, ie I click the scroll bar or try to drag it, and it takes about 3 seconds before it moves. Running locally, it's instantaneous. Running on a dev server on my LAN, there's a slight delay, but minimal. Having read various threads about this situation, my first thought was it's due to a filtered portal, so I removed filtering, but that made no difference. I also read various posts about unstored calcs and other factors that would cause all the data to have to be transferred to the client over the WAN. But here's the thing - at the moment, there are about 20 records in the database, related to the particular portal. Clearly, moving that data can't be the primary issue - right? I do have a lot of Execute SQL calculations in related tables, and I've read that can cause poor performance. But wouldn't that only be a factor when there are a lot of records? Are there design /schema choices that would cause significant lag regardless of the amount of data? Thanks, Michael
I've been working on optimizing a complex part of a solution that relied on the List() function to send multiple parameters to a custom function. Through my research I came across this article: http://www.teamdf.com/weetbicks/the-search-for-fast-aggregates--trial--error/99/ This article discusses the fact that when you use List(), Sum() or other aggregate functions, FileMaker sends the entire record set to the client, not just the data from the requested field(s). Does anyone know if this is also the case with ExecuteSQL()? I would assume that an SQL query would only return the requested data, but I'd like to know if this is definitely happening or not.
Marvelous Optimization #4 – Optimized Again
HOnza posted a blog entry in HOnza's Bits @ FMForumsLast September I wrote an article about a custom function that I optimized to evaluate hundreds times faster. At the end of the article, I challenged my readers and myself by claiming that the already optimized custom function can be optimized even further. Do you remember? Later on I actually really optimized it again, and talked about this optimization during my session at Pause On Error [x] London 2011. Now you can watch the video of this part of my session below: Read more and download my updated sample file at honza.24uSoftware.com.
Hi, I just posted a new entry on 1-more-thing blog, presenting a 'revolutionary' technique allowed by FileMaker 12. It completely changes my life as a developer, and makes it possible to create very efficient online solutions using FileMaker Pro/Go. It's all explained in this video.
Let's say we have two related tables: "Invoice" and "Invoice_Item". We could create a calculation field in the "Invoice" table called "total_amount" with this formula: total_amount = Sum (Invoice_Item::amount) This field would have a negative impact in performance when appearing in the layout, since it would have to be defined as unstored, because it's referencing a field from a related table. Now let's suppose this field is not used for any scripts, tooltips, conditional format, etc … would the performance of the database be negatively affected ONLY when this field appeared in a layout? In other words, would adding an unstored calculation field to a table involve a performance penalty, even in the "unreal" case where this field didn't appear in any layout, script, conditional format, etc.? thanks in advance!
Hi there I am experimenting on a sample of data in a very simple FM database. I need some help on 'how' FM does things, rather than how to do something myself (although you may scream at my technique below!) I have two customers on Customer_Table with CustomerID and Name as the fields. The only other table is called Data and is joined to Customer via CustomerID_FK. It's a one to many relationship as each customer can have many data rows, around 400 each. Therefore I have around 800 records in the Data table. I have added three text fields to the data table which enable true/false conditions to be set. I use many CASE statements on the Data table to select various values from records depending on the combination of true/false conditions. I then summarise these on a second field to get the grand total per true/false combination. An example of this would be: CustID Text1 Text2 Text3 Amount CaseStatement1 CaseStatement2 10 North Confirmed Bob 11000 11000 10 North Possible Bob 5000 5000 If I want a grand total of Bob's confirmed and possible sales in the north, I'd do: Case ( Text1 = "North" and Text2 = "Confirmed" and Text3 = "Bob" ; Amount) Case ( Text1 = "North" and Text2 = "Possible" and Text3 = "Bob" ; Amount) I then create summary fields for CaseStatement1 and CaseStatement2 to get the specific values I want. As I say, given the details in the data I have and the requirements of the task, there are many similar calculations through my test DB. The next part of my test was to see how I can easily move between customer records to view which sales have happened, ie, view the summary fields. I set up two layouts, one based on Data and one based on Customer. Given the data I have and the volume of summaries, I noticed it was significantly quicker moving on the Customer layout between records 1 and 2 than using the Data layout (which of course has 800 records). What I don't understand is that surely FM still needs to calculate the Case and Summary statements while moving between just the two customer records regardless, so why is it so much quicker one way versus the other? Thanks in advance
Hi My scenario is, when I used to RUN a Import (Folder with Import only the reference) script from a iMac mini to remote Windows File server, it used to take 4-8 hours. But when started using the same script from Same server(Windows), it started to take more than 24 hours. Only things I have changed: Import from Windows FS ( Files of type Windows from OS X) Modified the Folder location to local server. Any suggestions or known issues.. Pls note: Previously we used Filemaker 10-11 now using 13-14 in both client server. The old Mac was OS X (10.5.8) with FM Advanced 10. And the old remote server was a Physical windows 2008 server with FM 10 server running as well as Fileserver to hold the files which where been imported as reference.
ESS Performance - Read Oracle Index
laurentades posted a topic in External Data SourcesAll, I am building a solution which requires ESS connection to Oracle 11g from FM12. Got the ActualTech Oracle ODBC Oracle Driver. Setup went fine. Managed to do imports from Oracle using the Import Script Step. Can display ESS Shadow tables from Oracle in the FM Relationship graphs. However: * when doing so, FM tells me that the External Table "does not provide a pre-defined unique key" and asks me to choose a field or field combination to identify the same * All relationships i perform involving an ESS table display the 'T' cardinality symbol implying that the match field has no index information. The subsequent problem is obvious : performance as we are reading hundred of thousands of records. It looks like the oracle index information cannot be read whilst it does exist. I have checked with the Oracle DBA : the Indexes do exist on the table (not view) / fields we are accessing via ESS and the Oracle user used for ODBC connectivity does have adequate permissions to read both all_indexes and dba_indexes tables in Oracle. This has been confirmed using an straight SQL query in Oracle SQL developer. Hence my question : does any one have an answer to the following questions : * Is the issue related to Oracle ? ODBC technology itself ? Actual Tech ODBC Driver for Oracle ? ESS Technology in FM ? Setup of any of these layers ? * Anything the Oracle DBA should be doing further so that FM can actually read the existing Index information ? * Anything I am obviously forgetting ? Any hint welcome Thanks Laurent
PSOS Performance Anxiety
JerrySalem posted a topic in FileMaker Server 15I have a system being hosted using FMS14. I also have a duplicate database hosted for testing/exporting using FMS15. PSOS is much slower in my hands with FMS15. Both servers are physical boxes, with similar (maybe identical) specs (Cores, RAM HD Space, HD Space available) I also have a Server Side script that creates a found set, exports data to excel and emails it to a user. (This is based on https://www.skeletonkey.com/restoring-filemaker-clients-found-set-within-server-side-script/). The exports have a couple of related fields, but no unstirred calculations. Using FMS14 this has been working just fine. Using FMS15 it has been significantly slower. As a test, I exported 13,000 records from both FMS14 and FMS15. Using FMS14, it takes about 10 Seconds to recreate the found set, then 70 Seconds to create the export. Using FMS15, it takes about 20 Seconds to recreate the (same) found set, then 175 Seconds to export the data. In another series of tests, this time exporting 30,000 records (more realistic in my scenario) I found; Using FMS14, it takes about 25 Seconds to recreate the found set, then 168 Seconds to create the export. (2.5x longer to find/2x longer to export 3x records) Using FMS15, it takes about 90 Seconds to recreate the (same) found set, then 825 Seconds to export the data. 9x longer to find/11x longer to export 3x records) In the last series of tests, this time exporting 50,000 records I found; Using FMS14, it takes about 59 Seconds to recreate the found set, then 262 Seconds to create the export. (6x longer to find/4x longer to export 5x records) Using FMS15, it takes about 160 Seconds to recreate the (same) found set, then 1700 Seconds to export the data.(16x to find/24x to export 5x records) Any ideas? Anyone see similar results with PSOS on FMS15? Again, the machines are identical, the databases are identical and the scripts are identical. the only difference is FMS14 vs. FMS15. I am also letting another user pull data using ODBC. That has also gotten extremely slow using FMS15, but that is a discussion for another thread. I am not using WebD on this server. In general the FMS15 database performs find using FMP Clients. But the FMS15 functions are not very impressive. I am petrified to move my production database to FMS15, and even considering moving the test server back to FMS14. Help! TIA Jerry
Is there any difference in terms of performance between a calculation field (stored and indexed) and field defined as auto-enter calculated value (indexed)? For example, we have an "INVOICE" table, with a field called "date_invoice_sent", and we'd like to have a boolean field called "is_sent". The calculation would be "not IsEmpty(date_invoice_sent)" So we have two options here: - Calculation field (stored, number result). - Number field defined as "auto-enter / calculated value / do not replace … unchecked". Would there be any difference in performance between the two options? thanks in advance!

Prague, CZ -- December 5, 2011 -- 24U Software announces an immediate availability of 24U FM Bench Detective 1.0.2 for FileMaker Pro 11. 24U FM Bench Detective is an open solution designed to help FileMaker developers easily add precise benchmarking to their solution. With the help of this tool developers can measure performance of their scripts, calculations, and other parts of their solutions, and optimize them for better performance. FM Bench Detective is a free part of the new product being developed by 24U to address the need for optimizing performance of not only FileMaker solutions but also companies using them. What's new in version 1.0.2: - Internal global variables renamed to prevent naming conflicts - Timestamps are now logged in the host's time rather then client's time to ensure consistency - 24U Toolbox Plug-In 1.1.2 now correctly returns local time instead of always returning GMT+2 24U FM Bench Detective lets FileMaker developers: - Precisely measure execution time of their scripts and calculations - Quickly add measuring code to any existing solution - Store all measurements in a simple FileMaker database for further processing - Differentiate collected data by username, IP address, or software/hardware configuration - Use a single point to control benchmarking level or completely disable benchmarking Use 24U FM Bench Detective to better understand your code There is no magical solution that will take your code and optimize it. It's still you, the developer, who's responsible for the quality and performance of your solutions. But it's difficult to intelligently decide how to implement whatever feature you are thinking of just now if you don't know what to expect from the technology you're using. 24U FM Bench Detective lets you easily measure your code execution time with microsecond precision, so that you exactly understand which operations take longer to process. Only that way you can base your decisions on true knowledge instead of guessing. Since the first version of 24U FM Bench Detective has been released, many FileMake developers started to optimize their solutions. Steve Sanders commented on the 24U FM Bench Detective's website: "I keep track of my Custom Functions in a database. When a Custom Function is revised, I compare some "Sample In" results to previous "Sample out" results to see if I have caused an error during the revision. I also want to compare the execute times to the previous revision. That lets me know if I have optimized or slowed down the Custom Function. I used to use "Extra Suites" on the Mac for this but it was very cumbersome as I had to find and remove my own overhead. I could only get an approximate overhead value. FM Bench will be ideal to re-implement this in a clean manner." Serious developers have always cared about the performance of their solutions. But it took them too much effort to actually measure the performance of everything so they did that mostly only when issues appeared. 24U FM Bench Detective makes developers' dreams come true. Now you can base your decision on exact measurements and it does not take more than just a few clicks to add the measuring code to your solution. 24U FM Bench Detective 1.0.2 is immediately available for download from the 24U FM Bench website upon free registration.

Hi Everyone, I have a database table containing around 700 fileds and half of them are auto enter calculations. Every time i create a new record it takes a long time to create, even more the first time. I just need the record to be created, rest calculations can be done afterwards through scripting. I cannot remove the calculations. Have tried creating the record in seperate table(with the required data only) and then importing those data into my main table, but still, it takes a while. So i was thinking of a way if i can supress the calculations while the new record is created. Is there any or other way of achieving that? In desperate need of this performance tuning. Thanks
MAC Maximal Speed for FM11 Server
andru posted a topic in FileMaker Server 11What is the optimal setup for hard drives, RAM, processors to maximize performance for a growing database running on FM Server 11 and FM Pro 11? We will have about 20 onsite clients, 10 VPN clients and 5-10 iPad clients maximally for the next few years. We are sticking with Mac and looking at either a top end mac mini server or investing bigger in a mac pro tower. We are running on a mac pro tower purchased 2 years ago and seeing serious dragging during busy work days. we have 2.66 GHz Quadcore with 6 GB ram. solid state hard drives worth it? how much RAM is too much? is it worth buying the top end 12 core "westmere" processors? We can afford to go there but I would prefer to use our money on database customization and enhancements. Should we stick with our existing machine and juice up the RAM and add a faster hard drive? Any perspectives or advice welcome.
One Big Anchor Buoy
ryangrg posted a topic in RelationshipsI have been playing around with a design pattern utilizing a table for storing layouts with everything else buoyed out. My question is in regards to performance. If I have 80+ tables with a few running several thousand records and growing Is this a bad idea. I would have less tables on the graph but more loading I presume of unnecessary tables on layouts that don't utilize them. Anyone, think I should avoid this strategy? Some layouts will have a thick patch of Tab Panels too, does related information get requested only when it is viewed? Not sure what goes on under the hood, some fead back would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, some time ago, I posted this technique called FMSDIFM for FileMaker Server, Do It For Me. Although it was widely discussed and used by FileMaker 'techies', it was too hard to deploy, so we had to keep it for ourselves (the principle was already public but the implementation was only for our hosting services customers). Since then, we've worked on a simplified version so every one can install it on any FileMaker Server hosted file. We've been using it for a year, and now we're making it public and free. I will present a session at Pause On Error Berlin this week about it. If you're coming to Berlin, bring some heavy script of yours that you've been trying to optimize, and I will show you how FMSDIFM can help. Here is a new video and the download link. Please consider the web page down the link to be the 'official' documentation page, and post your comments here on FM Forums. The-page-with-a-video-and-everything. For those who don't know yet what FMSDIFM is about, well, it's the same thing, read the page Seriously, FMSDIFM is about performing CPU/data-intensive tasks on the server rather than on the client. It improves performance by a factor of several hundreds. Simply hudge! But as you will see, this is only one of the benefits.

Hey again. In a previous thread I suggested using javascript in a webviewer to return the difference between the server and client UUID lists in order to increase the sync check speed. It was much faster, but the code I used included an algorithm with quadratic time complexity, meaning that as the size of the lists increased the time that sync check took would grow exponentially. @GisMo helped test confirm that this solution would not scale well. However I think I've found a bit of javascript that solves this issue and will scale linearly. I've changed the script from the previous thread to use this new code instead. If you are using this javascript method for list comparison I highly recommend you change the sync check script to use this code. Simply open the new file, copy the calculation from set variable[ $url ] in "Sync Check Client", and paste it into your Set Variable[ $url ] step. Otherwise if you're using EasySync and struggling with sync check, give my solution a try! I've attached the new file below and linked to the old thread for continuity. Best, Josh EDIT: For anyone interested in a demonstration of just the algorithms' performance difference before updating sync check, I've uploaded a raw concept file.

Hi all My server is running on FMS 13.0v9 and my clients are running FMP 12.0v4. The mismatch is due to my clients still mostly being on OS X 10.6.8. I'm having a strange issue with slowness that I was hoping to get some insight on. Here goes: I have a layout (named "Checkin Layout") that access a table and a few related tables. The main table has a field named "CheckedIn" which contains either a 1 or a 0. The user checks a checkbox, which enters the value "1". The auto-enter calculation is as follows: Case (CheckedIn = 1 ; 1 ; 0) This makes it so that the value isn't ever empty, but will be either 0 or 1. Users have lately been complaining that toggling this checkbox is becoming incredibly slow. I initially tried to remove objects from the Checkin Layout, but found that even if the layout contained nothing but the field in question, toggling the checkbox was still incredibly slow. I then tried changing the auto-enter calculation, thinking that may help. I changed the "Case" function to "If" and noticed that the speed shot up immediately. However, I found that if i closed and reopened my layout, the slowness came back. After some more experimentation, I found that opening the "Manage -> Database" window and changing ANY definitions or calculations would make the Checkin Layout extremely fast, until it is closed. Then once it is opened it becomes slow again. I'm curious if there is anything happening when I adjust definitions that I could do via scripting. The slowness is taking its toll on productivity, and I can't be around to mess with definitions every time a user needs to check something in. Is there anything I can do?? Thanks in advance for your help. MoMo

Performance of using UUID as a primary key
VictorLion posted a topic in Interface Design DiscussionsI am building a customer database. The database will have a primary key. I am looking to make the primary key either a unique integer or a UUID (with 32 chars). The UUID appeals to me due to its ability to sync tables. The primary key will be used for (obviously): Searching and sorting records As a tag against documents eg document XX is linked to customer AA, BB and CC; and A foreign key to link tables My questions are: Do UUIDs adversely affect database size Do UUIDs adversely affect speed If UUIDs retain their full 32 chars, then there will obviously be a disadvantage. However, is FM clever enough to convert the UUID "under the hood" (such as to an integer referenced index) to improve database speed and/or size.
Solution that has implemented FM EasySync?
dataclip posted a topic in FM Easy Suite FrameworkI have a vertical market application that uses a php modale that gives mobile users access to their agenda (FM11). Currently I am rewriting this application from fp7 to fmp12. As part of this upgrade I want to offer mobile users an off-line module on iPads. Mainly because mobile users complain that they do not always have a good internet connection when on the road, so the performance is not always acceptable. I have implemented FM EAsySync in my application on a test server and on a small scale this looks good (Tim awesome job in setting up this framework). However, on this forum I noticed some comments about the processing time of synced records, so I am wondering if anyone has already succesfully implemented and rolled out this framework in an application. If so, I would like to hear about your experience in using this framework. The last thing I want is to offer an off-line module to my customers as an improvement over the current php module (and require my users to purchase iPads) and then find out that there are other performance problems. I am not asking you to comment on the performance in my application. I realise this can not be done without detailed information about the application itself. I am just curious to find out who has already implemented this framework and rolled out an application that uses this framework. Thanks, Joost Kingma
Hi everyone, currently I am looking into creating a very simple database for a cocktail competition for a spirits brand. The competitors are coming from markets all over the worlds, the local offices are submitting the recipies, images and some further information in my ideal world via webdirect into the database itself. I dont think there need to be more then 2-3 users accessing that database simultaneously. My question would be if anyone is experienced with filemaker hosters and the perfomance of that hosting when the db is accessed from different parts of the world. In other words: where would be an ideal country for hosting the file (in terms of performance) if it were to be accessed from Europe, Japan, USA, Israel, China and South America? Please advise, Thank you.

Smudging in
Native People of North America have used White Sage, Canadian Cedar, Sweet Grass and Juniper for "smudging" for many years.
Smudging is performed to purify places before sacred events or meditation, before beginning an important meeting or before offering help or healing.
The act of smudging is also used to purify a new home or apartment before moving in, in health centers to keep the space clear, and in places where difficult events have occurred (theft, violence, etc.).
This article describes the method and proceedures in which smudging can

and timed. Once the plan was set in motion, it must allow only a single, inevitable conclusion.
To the targets of the deception, events must seem to be under their control, when all along they were being directed, ideas planted in their minds, actions anticipated and used. Elric had quickly determined who on Babylon 5 might serve the mages' purposes, and had examined their records, their activities, gathered information to shed light on the secret darkness of their hearts. Some mages operated on instinct, or learned to read body language or voice inflection. For Elric, history was everything. Know a man's past, and you would know his future. The past was prologue.
History suggested that Rabelna Dorna would go to the bazaar. And yet, she had not emerged. They had only ten minutes before their ship would arrive.
Then, in the empty corridor, the door slid open. Rabelna appeared. Muirae gave Elric a tense smile. Time was short.
Elric switched from camera to camera, following Rabelna's course. She wore no scarf of purple or green. She did not dress like a Drazi at all, but like a Human, in a brown plaid jacket and skirt. The clothes bulged with the thick grey scales beneath them. Elric knew she spoke English nearly fluently, quite an accomplishment considering the difficulty Drazi had with other languages. The clothes and the language skills revealed both insecurity and determination. Most of her contacts on Babylon 5 were Human, and she obviously desired to fit in among them and to impress them. For other Drazi, she seemed to have little patience or affection.
She made her way toward the bazaar. The marketplace was one of the less reputable on the station, crowded with small, dimly lit stalls that offered exotic and often illegal items.

Hi could you give me a price for approximately 11/2 hours photography on the 11th of July in playa blanca for our wedding vows please.
Its not a new trend to get married abroad, people have been doing it for years, and I have to agree with them, its a fantastic way to get married. I had the honour of shooting a wedding in Playa Blanca last week for a wonderful couple (Bevin and Shane), and I had an amazing time. So i thought it would be a good idea to give a few hints and tips from my side of the celebrations
Photographing a wedding has a number of challenges, and photographing a wedding abroad carries even more. One of the most obvious ones (to me at least) is knowing the location where the wedding will take place, the church, the reception venue, the beaches, parks, woods, mountains, all these areas that could be a 5 hour flight away (or longer). To get around this, I flew into Lanzarote the day before the wedding to make sure I got to view all these locations, Google Maps is great but you can't get a real feel for a place on it. In fact I was lucky enough to visit Playa Blanca about 5 months before the wedding, just to check it out for photographic locations. I'm always of the opinion that knowing your location makes it a lot easier for me on your wedding day, I know some photographers don't like to do this, they like to arrive with no preconceptions of a venue. This is great for just a photoshoot, but when there is a timetable to keep to (loosely) you run the risk of causing delays trying to figure out locations, angles and lighting. In terms of Lanzarote Wedding Photography one big thing to bear in mind is sun and shade, there is a lot of sun, but not too much shade.
I know a lot of Wedding Planners offer a photographer along with their packages, and that is great, but I always think that when you have someone with you for the majority of your wedding day you should get to know them before hand. You want to make sure that you get on, you are on the same page when it comes to your wedding photographs and you can trust them. This is why I had an engagement shoot with Bevin and Shane before their wedding, it really helped me on the day to know how they would behave and to spot their little mannerisms. On the flip side I think it helped them to relax around me, in fact they were so relaxed, I felt almost like a guest at their wedding.
Overall my experience of shooting a wedding abroad was a massive positive, everything was so relaxed which in turn helped all the guests and bridal party relax too. In terms of scenery for photoshoots, you will find that there is so much on offer, just because it is different from what we are used to. I really am looking forward to my next destination wedding.

SYNOPSIS: Bush is caught between short and long term cuts in the government.
George W. Bush's tax cut plan has never been distinctive for its content, which is standard-issue conservatism — big tax cuts for the rich, a few crumbs for middle-class families with children the right age, nothing for the poor. What is distinctive is the way the plan has been sold. I can't think of any precedent in the history of American economic policy. Has any previous administration been quite this shameless about misrepresenting the actual content of its own economic plan?
But it is starting to look as if maybe, just maybe, the cynicism of the sales effort is about to backfire. Mr. Bush now runs some risk of being hoist by his own pet argument.
The only way to understand the structure of the Bush plan is to see it as the creation of someone who believes in the trickle-down theory: make the rich richer, and a rising tide will lift all boats. Or more accurately, the plan can be seen as a device intended to reassure those who do believe in that theory that Mr. Bush is not his father. And it is no secret that the plan was originally concocted to ward off a feared challenge from Steve Forbes.
Now Mr. Bush could have tried to sell his plan in terms of the ideology that the plan actually reflects. But he has never done so. Instead, he has engaged in an elaborate disinformation campaign. Part of this effort involves an attempt to deny the plain fact that the tax cuts will mainly go to the very, very well off. But the campaign's most striking feature has been the attempt to sell the tax cut as a short-run stimulus to spending — as the answer to an economic slowdown that Mr. Bush has done his best to play up, and which his doomsday rhetoric may have worsened.
What's ironic is that the timing of the Bush tax plan makes it just about completely useless as a short-run stimulus package. In order to keep the headline numbers down, the plan delays the really big tax cuts far into the future, putting hardly any money into the hands of consumers this year and not much next year. And recently administration officials have begun to admit that if they are really serious about doing something for the economy now, they need to add an immediate tax cut onto the plan.
But then the question arises: why not adopt the add-on and forget about the original plan? Or better yet, why not implement one of the short-run stimulus plans proposed by Democratic senators, and discuss those huge long-term tax cuts for the rich at our leisure?
Of these alternatives, I'd vote for Joe Lieberman's suggestion that the Treasury simply send every taxpayer a $300 check. Not that I really think it's necessary: if I had to choose, I'd take another percentage point off the Fed funds rate any day. (Please, Mr. Greenspan?) But hey, why not? Mr. Lieberman's proposal (or the slightly different proposals being offered by other Democrats) would put money quickly into the hands of families that need it and would spend it, without busting the budget. And these proposals would also remove any sense of urgency about rushing through big tax cuts for people with seven-digit incomes.
What's going to happen, of course, is that Mr. Bush will try to take the economy hostage: he will insist that we can't have an immediate tax cut to provide economic stimulus unless we accept his whole plan. There's no logical reason why: Congress can easily give each ordinary family a few hundred dollars now without agreeing to give individuals with million-dollar incomes $50,000 tax breaks every year after 2006. But Mr. Bush and his allies will try to prevent Congress from taking any helpful short-run actions unless he gets it all — and will blame moderates for the delay.
The good news is that there are two ways this attempt at hostage- taking can fail. Public opinion may force Mr. Bush to stop playing games; or the Fed may do what is needed to turn the economy around, and the whole strategy of using a slowdown to bully Congress into passing the tax cut will miss its window of opportunity.
In either case, Mr. Bush would then be forced to sell his plan on its actual merits. And his cynical sales tactics show that he and his advisers have long since concluded that those actual merits, whatever they are, just won't cut it.

HOUSTON, TEXAS (February16,
All too often, the mention of chest pain conjures up images of a heart attack, but there are plenty of other diseases and conditions that can trigger this symptom. Here are seven conditions that can cause chest pain -- and what everyone should know about to treat them. Shingles. The first symptoms include itching and burning skin. If the area over the chest is affected, someone might mistake this new pain for a heart attack or other cardiac issue, says Salman Arain, MD, an interventional cardiologist with McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and the Memorial Hermann Heart & Vascular Institute-Texas Medical Center.

UC Berkely fined to adhere to free speech

- Posted by $ Solver 1 year, 1 month agoWith the vast number of blatant anti-right free speech violations UC Berkeley has committed, conservatives should own the whole campus.
- Posted by $ allosaur 1 year, 1 month agoTo own it would be to convert it into another Hillsdale. Fleeing snowflakes can be replaced.
- Posted by $ mshupe 1 year, 1 month agoI guess its small, but an important symbolic victory.
- Posted by $ exceller 1 year, 1 month agoThe question is if UCB will return to "normal", e.g. accept speakers from both sides of the isle.
I doubt it. The culture and atmosphere there is completely in the hands of the left. They are not called the "People's Republic of Berkeley" without reason. It happened over decades. Again, it is like the swamp in DC: needs a total sanitation to resemble a campus where critical thinking is taught.

On Monday, Google finally launched the redesigned Google Play Store for the web. Which was initially shown off back at Google I/O in May. Glass has been a pretty big topic over the past year, with Explorers having their Glass now and we're hearing about new third-party apps launching all the time for Glass. The folks over at Android and Me noticed in the new version of Google Play there is a "Google Glass 1" entry pop up in the device field following the Play Store refresh yesterday.
Right now it's not possible to push apps directly to Glass, but that might be available soon. It would be cool to have all the Glass apps in Google Play, since they are technically Android apps, because Glass runs on Android (Android 4.0 to be exact). So could we see the Chrome Store merge into the Play Store as well? And just create one massive Google store for all their products? It would kind of make sense since Chromebooks are sold through the Play Store but have nothing to do with Android. Although I'd love to be able to use some Android apps on my Chromebook.
We're going to assume that when Glass is available for the general public, all the apps will be in Google Play. We don't know if that's what is really going to happen. But it would make perfect sense right? So we'll have to keep our eyes out to see what Google does do for a Glass App Store. We have to have somewhere to go and download these awesome apps right?
How many of you are excited to see Google Glass become available for the general public later this year or early next year? Will you be lining up to pick up a pair? Let us know in the comments down below.

Appetizers, Fish and Shellfish, Quick and Easy, Salads
Step 1In a medium bowl, combine the shallots, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar and kosher salt. Add the oil, whisking it in a slow, steady stream to combine. Stir in the herbs and pepper. This makes about 1 cup vinaigrette.
Step 1Prepare the wax beans: Bring a pot of salted water to boil and prepare an ice bath. Cook the wax beans to al dente (they should still be crisp but cooked), 1 to 2 minutes, then drain and chill in the ice bath to stop the cooking. Remove and pat dry. Trim the stem from the beans, leaving the tails. Slice the beans on the extreme bias into very long pieces using a Frencher or a knife. Set aside.
Step 2To prepare the potatoes, steam them until they are tender when pierced with a small sharp knife, about 20 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then peel (discard the skin) and slice into one-half-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
Step 3To soft-cook the eggs, bring a saucepan of salted water to boil and gently drop in the eggs, in their shells. Boil for about 7 minutes, or until the yolk is just set (it should not be close to being hard-boiled). Remove the eggs and drop in an ice bath to chill. Carefully peel the chilled eggs, then halve each lengthwise. Set aside.
Step 4To prepare the crostone, heat the oven to 350 degrees, or heat a sandwich press. If using the oven, place the bread slices on a baking sheet, brushing the tops with oil, and bake until golden brown and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. If using a sandwich press, brush both sides of the bread with olive oil and toast. Remove the crostone and rub the oiled sides lightly with garlic.
Step 5To assemble the salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the wax beans, potatoes and olives. Season as desired with salt, and dress with vinaigrette to taste. Pile the bean salad on the side of each of 6 plates, making sure the potatoes and olives are equally dispersed among the servings. Set the crostone next to it, spooning the well-stirred bagna cauda over the bread, and sprinkle with sliced parsley. Top with one-half soft-cooked egg and then an anchovy fillet. Grate the bottarga over the beans and serve immediately.

Mobile content management trend is up like never before! A lot of businesses prefer to supply employees with mobility and ubiquitous access to corporate content. Indeed, using smart devices in professional life is a good opportunity to keep track of business issues and act faster on any changes. Invoice and expense report management are the business processes that brook no delays. Approving invoices on the go considerably reduces time spent on accounts payable processing and improves invoice management efficiency.
Wherever employees are, they can easily access the accounts payable system and seamlessly manage the process. With the help of smart devices employees can send expense reports for approval even when business traveling. All they have to do is to photograph receipts and attach them to electronic expense reports with no need to spend time on reporting when back to the office. At the same time a smart device's camera can also be helpful for receipt upload when a corporate scanner is busy or out of service.
Managers taking part in invoice approvals don't have to be desk-bound either. Even when out of the office they still can quickly approve invoices and related documents. No matter if they are on a business trip, at some external meeting, or at home, they can access accounts payable software and perform their functions. With mobile solutions business trips no longer hamper the accounts payable process to negatively impact organization's relationship with suppliers.
If you have purchased an iPhone 6, not only can you enjoy its new functions and enhanced interface, but you can use it for managing working issues including invoice processing and expense reporting. Imagine how much time (either yours or others') you can save participating in business processes outside of the office with the help of your smartphone. If your smartphone is a kind of entertainment for you, why not use it for business? Thanks to smart devices you can handle critical tasks and make decisions in real time – no matter where you are at the moment. Managing invoices on iPhone 6 you can even improve your software usability. Enhanced camera features ensure faster and easier invoice capture, and the new Display Zoom mode can make the process of looking through documents and managing approvals handier and more comfortable.
Accounts payable software accessed through a web client requires no additional installation on a smart device. With a web access one can enter the system using a smartphone, a tablet, a laptop, whatever… It doesn't matter what operating system is installed on a device, the only thing that's needed is internet connection. With such mobility option no important document will be lost and no payment will fall overdue.
Each organization decides for itself what strategy to use when doing business. Keeping pace with changing environment and getting prepared for the future seems to be the best strategic decision. Using your new iPhone for life, remember about its usability for work. Smart devices' functionalities realized in games and social media apps can serve your business purposes as well.

With customers already lined-up outside the store, the first Saks Off 5th location in the Montreal region opened at the Galeries d'Anjou on Thursday morning.
First Saks Off 5th store in Montreal region opens at Galeries d'Anjou
With customers already lined up outside the store, the first Saks Off 5th location in the Montreal region opened at the Galeries d'Anjou on Thursday morning.
The 30,000 square-foot store is billed as a "luxury off-price" retailer and its branding references luxury department store Saks Fifth Avenue. Both Saks Off 5th and Saks Fifth Avenue are owned by the Hudson's Bay Company. Saks Off 5th stores carry some Saks Fifth Avenue-branded items, however the brands are managed separately.
Attracting the retailer's first store in the region is a sign that the Galeries d'Anjou's efforts to make the mall a destination are paying off, said Brian Salpeter, senior vice-president of development at Cadillac Fairview, which co-owns the mall.
"They have choices and when they're choosing a property, they're doing their due diligence and they're making their decision in terms of what they think is going to be the best for them in terms of their success," he said. "For us, it's absolutely a great thing to be bringing in those first-to-market and unique retailers."
A Winners store also opened its doors on Aug. 3 at the Galeries d'Anjou, which is in Montreal's Anjou borough at the juncture of Highways 40 and 25.
"We invested significantly in this mall, most recently in 2013. We invested $86 million, we did the new food court, we brought in Simons and, really, this has always been the key centre in this market," Salpeter said. "We continue to invest, continue to ensure that we're doing things to add to the experience and making sure that we always remain the destination of choice."
With its Canadian expansion, Saks Off 5th appears to be taking a different strategy than it took in the United States, said Craig Patterson. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of Retail Insider, an online industry publication, and a consultant and analyst for the Retail Council of Canada.
In the U.S., Saks Off 5th stores tend to be located at outlet malls or stand-alone big box stores.
It's part of a larger trend that's seeing discount, or "off-price," retailers opening at regular and even high-end malls, Patterson said.
"These stores do well, they're a draw for consumers and landlords want them. I don't think that was the case in the past, but I'm seeing it more so now," he said.
With the opening of Winners and Saks Off 5th, Galleries d'Anjou is a good example of this trend, he said.

// What to do and what to see in Milan – Top 10
1. Duomo Cathedral and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele
The piazza, looking roughly north-east to the Duomo (on the right) and the arch that marks the entrance to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (on the left)
Piazza del Duomo ("Cathedral Square") is the main piazza (city square) of Milan, Italy. It is named after, and dominated by, the Milan Cathedral(the Duomo). The piazza marks the center of the city, both in a geographic sense and because of its importance from an artistic, cultural, and social point of view. Rectangular in shape, with an overall area of 17,000 m2 (about 183,000 sq ft), the piazza includes some of the most important buildings of Milan (and Italy in general), as well some of the most prestigious commercial activities, and it is by far the foremost tourist attraction of the city.
While the piazza was originally created in the 14th century and has been gradually developing ever since (along with the Duomo, that took about six centuries to complete), its overall plan, in its current form, is largely due to architect Giuseppe Mengoni, and dates back to the second half of the 19th century. The monumental buildings that mark its sides, with the main exception of the Duomo itself and the Royal Palace, were introduced by Mengoni's design; the most notable of Mengoni's addition to the piazza is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II arcade.
2. Sforza Castle
Sforza Castle (Italian: Castello Sforzesco) is in Milan, northern Italy. It was built in the 15th century by Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, on the remnants of a 14th-century fortification. Later renovated and enlarged, in the 16th and 17th centuries it was one of the largest citadels in Europe. Extensively rebuilt by Luca Beltrami in 1891–1905, it now houses several of the city's museums and art collections.

More than half of Fortune 1000 companies employ a Chief Marketing Officer (CMO).* Why is that? They recognize that marketing is more than just a tactical function in the company. It has a seat at the business planning table.
Marketing is most effective when it is a business function that helps set company direction. It is well-versed in the company's strategic opportunities and challenges. It analyzes trends inside the company as well as the exterior environment. And it sets goals that guide behavior and lead the company to improved marketing results.
Jaclyn Crawford for Forefront Magazine observed this about folks in the C-suite: "They care about potential macro- and micro-economic shifts that would have an effect on their business, customers and competition. They plan ahead about what new and innovative offering will fill the desire of their consumer set. They organize and rally cross-functional groups in order to meet common objectives. They actually build plans, do consumer research, identify ideal growth segments and support forecasts with analytics, to name a few areas of focus."
Ms. Crawford's comments reflect the key accountabilities of strategic marketing – the 4P's: Product, Price, Place and Promotion (aka, the marketing mix). What this means for business owners is that this business discipline provides much more than a logo or web site. Rely on your team to help make strategic decisions about the business.
Managements' expectations include:
- Develop annual marketing plans. These include goals & measures that drive behaviors and demonstrate a continuous improvement philosophy.
- Facilitate and document strategic planning exercises like the SWOT analysis to discover the company's next growth opportunity. Then make sure they're prioritized and acted upon.
- Provide consumer insights based on market research.
- Identify trends that impact the company's product, channels of distribution and price strategies.
- Manage communications tactics and budget effectively and efficiently.
Your business may not need a CMO. But it does need marketing expertise that can perform at the strategic and tactical levels.

A Tory MSP has promised he will use First Minister's Questions this week to raise the scandal of the soft sentence meted out to the teen thug who killed Shaun.
Miles Briggs spoke out as pressure mounted on Lord Advocate James Wolffe to instruct prosecutors to appeal against the "insulting" sentence.
Former junior footballer Shaun, 30, died after he was attacked by the 17-year-old yob outside an Edinburgh pub early on New Year's Day.
The attacker, who can't be named because of his age, punched Shaun, who died in hospital of brain injuries.
He was convicted of culpable homicide and his trial heard he and a gang of others had attacked a series of people across the capital on Hogmanay.
More than 55,000 people have signed a petition created by Shaun's dad, Kevin, calling for an appeal.
Lothian Region MSP Briggs said: "This was an utterly needless act of violence and I think most people would agree this sentence is far too lenient.
"If someone is convicted of a brutal killing like this, they need to face the appropriate punishment."
Shaun's family have written letters to the Lord Advocate, Nicola Sturgeon and Justice Minister Michael Matheson.
A spokesperson for the Scottish Government said: "The impact of the loss of a loved one is devastating and our sympathies go out to the family and friends of Shaun.
"We have received correspondence from the family and a response will be sent very soon."

PhD defended at:
My cumulative dissertation - defended in May 2015 - consisted of five refereed journal articles, a reprint and two published datasets on Muslim politics in the world's third-largest Muslim country and its largest democracy: in India. It traced the political context as well as consequences of a morality stripped of its ethical roots and argued that Muslim politics in North India are underpinned by local configurations of power and socially differentiated moral projects much like non-Muslim politics. Consequently, they vary across time and space in response to different positionalities in the intersectional mesh that constitutes the community, and are not exempt from the interlocked trends of regionalization and particularization of politics in India in general. This has perhaps been less visible because appropriately fine-grained statistical data remained unavailable for long, and scholars consequently concentrated on studying the history of ideas from a national perspective rather than empirically disaggregating and contextualizing political trends on the ground. My dissertation addressed these biases through an innovative mix of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, spanning across anthropology, sociology and political science.

Silent in an Evil Time
Dutiful nurse, hospital matron, courageous resistance fighter, Edith Cavell was all of these. A British citizen, the forty-eight-year-old Cavell was matron of an institute for nurses in the suburbs of Brussels at the outbreak of World War I. Dedicated to the methods of Florence Nightingale, her intelligence and ferocious sense of duty had transformed the institute into a leading training center.When the Germans captured Belgium in the fall of 1914, an organization was formed to assist British and French soldiers trapped behind German lines. Edith was asked to help and she didnt hesitate. From that moment forward, Edith sheltered escaping soldiers in her hospital, using trickery to keep the suspicious Germans from discovering them. She helped arrange a secret route to neutral Holland and back to England at great personal risk, enabling soldiers of all ranks to slip through German lines. Using the institute as part of an elaborate Allied escape route, Edith Cavell was responsible for one thousand soldiers eventually making their way home.But Cavells role was discovered and a German military court put her on trial in Brussels, where she was sentenced to be executed by firing squad. On October 12, 1915, she put on her nurses uniform and met her fate, immediately becoming a worldwide martyr and rallying point for the British in their war against Germany.In this riveting account, author Jack Batten brings an incredibly brave woman and her turbulent times to life.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Lhasa with Mansarovar Yatra and Kailash Kora is a wholesome package that covers most of the important and famous Tibetan landmarks at the same time. Designed especially for those who want to get the taste of everything unique and beautiful about Tibet, this Yatra offers a lifetime chance to witness traditional ancient Tibetan art and culture in the form of temples, palaces, monasteries and nunneries along with the panoramic views of snow-capped peaks and unique landscapes and also the spiritual calmness exuded by Holy Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansarovar.
This is a traditional Tibetan pilgrim route that starts from Jokhang Temple and ends at Mt. Kailash. The Yatra begins with a flight to Lhasa "the forbidden city" and the roof of the world. After visiting the rich cultural heritages of Lhasa including Barkhor Street, Jokhang temple, Sera Monastery, Drepung Monastery, Potala Palace and many others and getting acclimatized with Tibetan climate and culture, the Yatra proceeds further through the beautiful cities of Gyantse, Shigatse to the world famous pilgrim site Mt. Kailash.
Famous for its beauty, isolation and prominence, this dome shaped peak is revered by millions of Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Bons and other religious devotees as an ultimate destination for salvation and spiritual satisfaction. The Yatra then leads you to the holy pilgrimage walk around the Mt. Kailash, where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of Kailash and at the same time experience the feel of spiritual calmness. The trail finally leads you to the beautiful and vast lake of shifting colours, the Lake Mansarovar, where with a holy dip your journey ends. Enchanting the travellers with the unexplored wonders of Forbidden City and taking travellers to the holiest journey of their lives around the Mt. Kailash and Mansarovar, this journey is truly, the journey of a lifetime. It is the perfect way of gaining spirituality in an adventurous way amidst the breathtaking views and thrilling landscapes.
What are the Highlights of Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra
The ''yatra'' holds significance for two things mainly- performing a parikrama of Mount Kailash and taking a dip in the holy Lake Mansarovar. These two acts are believed to rid the pilgrims of sins committed in a hundred lifetimes and bring salvation. Pilgrims believe that a kora (parikrama or circumambulation of Mt. Kailash) gives them a new life, that they are re-born.
What is ''The Parikrama?'
The walking around in anti-clockwise or clockwise (done clockwise by the pilgrims) direction is called a Parikrama. Pilgrims to Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansarovar circumambulate the area which takes 2-3 days on foot, one can also hire a yak or a pony or a Jeep for some parts. For, non-religious people, the journey is simply one of the most scenic routes in one of the most remote places on earth. Mount Kailash is not only visually stunning but a real challenge to get to as well, and Lake Mansarovar situated on the foothills of Mt. Kailash is not only one of the holiest lakes in the world, but also one of the most visually pleasing.
1. Mount Kailash and the mythology related to it: Mt. Kailash is more than a summit to Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and Bon followers. The 6,638m tall peak in the Kailash range is a part of the Tibetan Transhimalaya and is sacred to Hindus.
Hindus believe Mt. Kailash is the abode of Lord Shiva, to Jains the mountain is where Tirthankara the first Jain attained Nirvana, for Buddhists Kailash mountain, is where Buddha resides in his supreme bliss and Bön religion believes the entire region is the seat of all spiritual power. The high altitude and its remote location in western Tibetan Himalaya result in only a few thousand pilgirms doing the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra every year.
2.Lake Mansarovar: It is one of the two most important element of Adventure Club Tre's 13-day long Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra. At the height of 4,500 meters, Mansarovar is the highest body of the freshwater lake in the world and is considered one of the holiest lakes in the world. The lake is believed to be clear blue near the shores and change the color to emerald green towards the center. The lake looks stunning in full moon.
Other Major Attractions of Kailash and Lake Mansarovar Yatra
Besides Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansoravar, other attractions include Tirthapuri-where one can bathe in spring pools, Gauri Kund (known as the Lake of Compassion), Yam Dwar where the 'parikrama' initially starts, Dolma La (a high pass), and the scenic drive from Sera to Kerung among others. Lake Rakshash or Rakshashtal even though not mythically favored, is just as much of a visual delight as Lake Mansarovar.
We arrive in Lhasa either from a direct flight from Nepal or via mainland China. If we decide to fly from Nepal, then we get to enjoy a beautiful hour-long trans-Himalayan flight that takes us over Everest (8,848m), Kanchenjunga (8,536m) and other Himalayan peaks and glaciers. If we choose to go to Lhasa via mainland China, we may fly from any of the major Chinese cities or take the world's highest train route to Lhasa. Upon our arrival in Lhasa, a representative from Himalayan Glacier will pick us up either from the airport or the train station for about an hour's drive to our designated hotel in Lhasa. We are advised to take plenty of rest for the remainder of the day in order to minimize altitude sickness. Overnight in Lhasa.
We begin sightseeing in Lhasa after breakfast. Today is the day we visit the beautiful Potala and Norbulingka Palaces. Built in the 17th century, Potala Palace provides amazing views of the entire city and houses the private quarters of the Dalai Lama, numerous grand state rooms and chapels. Norbulingka Palace is the summer palace of the Dalai Lama and houses what is considered to be the largest man-made garden in Tibet. Next, we visit the Tibet Traditional Hospital which is the center for the treatment, training, research and production of Tibetan medicine. Overnight in Lhasa.
After breakfast we visit Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery, Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Bazaar. Drepung Monastery, which was built in the 14th century, is believed to have sheltered around 10,000 monks in the past but as of now there has been quite a declination resulting in only a few hundred. The history, culture, and religious beliefs of the Tibetan people are strongly concentrated and centered in this marvelous monastery. Sera Monastery is a preserved monastery of white-washed walls and golden roofs. Jokhang Temple is another important sacred site which unravels more deep-seated mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism. We further stroll through Barkhor Bazaar (market). With its open air stalls, shops and crowd of pilgrims, it is the nerve centre of Lhasa. Overnight in Lhasa.
After breakfast, we embark on a pleasant drive to Shigatse, the second biggest city in Tibet via Gyantse. We drive past Khamba La (4,794m) pass and savor the enthralling views of Yomdrok-Tso (Turquoise Lake), one of the Holy Lakes in Tibet and Mt. Nazin Kang Sa (7,252m). Further to the west, we come across another pass, Karo La (5,045m) and take in amazing views of the majestic glaciers. Upon reaching Gyantse, we visit the Khumbum Stupa, Phalkot Monastery and Gyantse Dzong(Fortress), which is one of the best preserved dzongs in Tibet. From Gyantse, we continue to Shigatse enjoying a captivating mountain landscape along the way. Overnight in Shigatse.
After breakfast we travel to Saga via Lhatse and along the Brahmaputra River. We stop for a while at Lhatse which is considered as one of the best counties of Shigatse and enjoy the beautiful landscape. Overnight in Saga.
We travel to Saga enjoying the beautiful snow-covered peaks and the Tibetan plateau. We cross several rivers and drive past Mayum La Pass at 4600m. Today is also the day we reach the beautiful Manasarover Lake. Shrouded in myth and legends, Mansarover Lake is located at the southern foot of Mount Kailash and extremely beautiful with the image of snow-capped mountains in its crystal-clear waters.
We take a Kora around the Manasarovar Lake which is a sacred circuit following the edge of the lake Manasarovar which displays brilliant color at the height of 4560m. After completing the kora, we head for Darchen which is located at the foot of the sacred Mt. Kailash. Overnight in Darchen.
Kailash Kora is an exciting 3-day trek around the sacred Mt. Kailash (6714m/22156ft). We will circle around the mountain in the following three days to appreciate its beautiful scenery, explore its historical sites and experience the mountain's religious significance. We drive up to Tarboche and trek up to Diraphuk Gompa. We continue walking for a few kilometers before ascending to a cairn from where the southern face of Mt. Kailash comes into view.
Today is the second day of our three-day Kora and the toughest part of our journey. We continue the trek around Mt. Kailash and cross Dolma La pass (5604m) which is the highest point of the Kora. We can do a short prayer at Dolma la. Today we also visit the Gauri Kunda which is an important place for the Hindu pilgrims.
We cover around 10km distance and end our Kora around Mt. Kailash today. After the completion of Kora, we drive to Darchen and pick participants who did not complete the Kora. From Darchen we drive to Saga to spend the night. Overnight in Saga.
From saga we travel to Shigatse via Latse. Our trail will be along the Tsangpo River in a region crisscrossed by the upper Brahmaputra and its tributaries. Upon reaching Shigatse we freshen up and later visit the Tashilhunpo Monastery which was founded by Pachen Lama in 1447. Overnight in Shigatse.
After breakfast, we drive towards Lhasa. On the way, we visit Shalu Monastery. Founded in 1040, Shalu Monastery is known for its beautiful and ancient mural paintings. After the tour we continue to Lhasa. On the way, we come across the Karo La Pass (5,045m). Before reaching Lhasa, we also cross the Khamba La Pass (4,794m) with a brief halt to savor the beauty of the Yamdrok Tso (Turquoise Lake), one of the three largest sacred lakes in Tibet and the beautiful Nazin Kang Sang glacier (7,252m). Overnight in Lhasa.
Our journey on Tibet also known as the "Roof of the World" ends today. A representative from Himalayan Glacier will take us to the airport or the train station for our next journey.
Note: Your safety is of the utmost concern whilst you are travelling with Adventure Club Trek. We will make every effort possible to follow the original itinerary but we reserve the right to change that itinerary if a segment of it becomes a safety issue. Certain mountain regions are remote, natural disasters can happen, weather conditions can decline and there can be illness or an injury. To avoid dangerous situations we may occasionally have to make changes to the itinerary to ensure everyone's safety. That having been said, Adventure Club Trek will strive to provide you with the best possible trekking experience and to keep your safety our number one priority. We thank you for your understanding.
Visa Information
Flying out to Tibet requires a Chinese visa and a Tibet Travel Permit which can both be acquired in Kathmandu with the help of a travel company (Tibet via Nepal). A valid visa for China isn't the same as a Tibet Travel Permit. Those with a Chinese traveler visa will at present need to apply for a Tibet travel permit. The permit is still required for remote foreign traveler traveling to Tibet from territory China. To obtain the permit you have to book a guide for your whole trip and pre-organize private transport for trips outside Lhasa. The trip outside Lhasa likewise requires extra permits which are arranged by the travel agent you are going with.
Weather Information
The weather in Tibet is similar to that of Mainland China, though with lower temperatures due to higher altitudes. Summers have warm days with strong sunshine and cool nights, but summer days can even be chilly at higher elevations. Winters are cold but there isn't all that much snow. Lhasa enjoys much sunshine even in winter. Most of Tibet experiences frost at least 6 months of the year. Some high lakes are frozen from October to March. The weather varies a lot from region to region. Lhasa is an ideal destination because it is in a valley area of lower elevation.

A convicted paedophile and former priest has admitted further historic offending, this time against a boy aged under 16 in the Waikato.
Mark Mannix Brown was jailed for 26 months in August after admitting four representative charges of indecently young boys during the 1970s.
Brown, now 74, was first jailed in 1990 after admitting molesting young boys while he worked as a priest in the Catholic Church around Hamilton and Auckland in the 1970s and 80s.
Then in May, he admitted sexually assaulting three young boys before he was sentenced in August.
Today, he was back in the Hamilton District Court, when through lawyer Mark Sturm, he admitted a charge of indecently assaulting a boy aged under 16 at Raglan sometime between December 31, 1976 and December 31, 1977.
Sturm said as his client was already in jail he said there was no need for a new pre sentence report or a restorative justice conference and sentencing should be expedited.
There was no resistance from the Crown, so Judge Simon Menzies convicted Brown on the new charge and remanded him in custody for sentencing later this month.
Brown is currently serving a prison term for historic offending against a 9-year-old altar boy, a 16-year-old whose dad had died and mother was dying of cancer, and a 6-year-old orphan.
Two of the boys were living in an Auckland orphanage, another was at home with family but attended the same church where Brown was a priest in Hamilton.
Brown had been living in Auckland after being released from prison in the 1990s after serving 15 months' jail for offences against young boys, before a second lot of charges were laid last year.
The latest victim was understood to have come forward to police after reading about Brown's offending in the Herald earlier this year.
