Whom the Gods Destroy (1916) Vitagraph Co. of America. a Blue Ribbon Feature. Distributor: Greater Vitagraph (V.L.S.E., Inc) Director: William P.S. Earle. Scenario: Cyrus Townsend Brady and J. Stuart Blackton. Camera: Clark R. Nickerson. Editor, Paul E. Saschke. Cast: Alice Joyce, Harry T. Morey, Marc MacDermott, Logan Paul, Charles Kent, Thomas R. Mills, Mary Maurice, Mr. Siegel. Irish woman is loved by a blinded British officer and his friend, an Irish insurrection leader charged with treason. 5 reels. This film appears to be LOST
This film was Alice Joyce's first for Vitagraph and marked her return to the screen after a nearly two year absence. The film is said to be loosely based on the case of Sir Roger Casement, an Irish patriot, who during the war had urged that Germany intervene in the Irish struggle for independence and hanged as a result by the British. Pro-Irish groups claimed the film was pro-British, and riots broke out at a number of theaters showing the film. Oddly, it was considered pro-Irish by the British authorities, who had it banned. Though critics claimed it was even-handed, producer J. Stuart Blackton, born in England, was given to making pro-British, anti-German propaganda films.

Cyrus Townsend Brady is the author and William P.S. Earle the director of the Vitagraph (V-L-S-E) Blue Ribbon feature to be released Dec. 15. The plot of the story was undoubtedly inspired by the recent insurrection in Ireland, and the leading role, that of Sir Denis Esmond, was patterned after the unfortunate Sir Roger Casement, who was found guilty of treason to the Crown. It is a fine, clean, red-blooded story of two men, one an Irish patriot, the other an English naval officer, bosom friends, each true to his particular country, both in love with the same girl. The sacrifices they are willing to make for their beloved causes are inspiring and uplifting and the visualization of the fight for the freedom of Ireland, is magnificently photographed with a careful observance to detail that reflects the highest credit upon the producer. There are but two things open to criticism--the make-up of the person depicting King George of England, and the fact that relatives seeking the pardon of a traitor to the Crown could summarily project themselves into the ceremony of His Majesty bestowing Victoria Crosses upon war heroes without interference on the part of the guards. This faux pas and incorrect make-up are so far overshadowed by the many excellences of the production as a whole, as to be scarcely worth calling attention to.
Five-part Drama by J. Stuart Blackton and Cyrus Townsend Brady, Featuring Alice Joyce. Produced by Vitagraph Under the Direction of William P.S. Earle. For Release Dec. 18.

The authors of "Whom the Gods Destroy" have done a difficult thing exceedingly well in making a touching and realistic picture of the recent Irish rebellion without indulging in the banal absurdities which too often surround stories of this type. There has been no attempt to treat the theme from a political or partisan standpoint, and we are spared the sight of the usual battle scene, now grown so common that its effect is considerably lessened. The story shows the effect of the bitter evil conflict on one Irish home but it is so skilfully developed that we get the effect of the havoc wrought in thousands of such homes and in the country beyond them.
The plot follows the life story of three friends: Leslie Leigh, the British officer; Mary O'Neil, the young Irish gentlewoman, and Sir Denis Esmond, the hot-headed, too zealous son of Ireland, who has been drawn into the rebellion against his better judgment. Both are suitors for Mary's hand but the generosity of Leslie protects his rival, who is sentenced to death, and the details of this act of heroism which ends in the reconciliation of the three friends, make up a drama vibrating with human interest against a background of historical fact. There is an unusual and effective situation in the position of Leslie lying blinded in Mary's home while the spies and rebels of his government are making their plans before his sightless eyes. The tense moments in the story seem to grow naturally out of one of the tensest episodes in Irish history instead of being manufactured by the yard by a mechanical scenario maker.
Alice Joyce gives the character of Mary O'Neil all the wistful charm of an Irish aristocrat, torn by the sufferings of her country, with a world of pathos in her great dark eyes. Harry T. Morey made a powerful figure as a strong and fearless officer who conquers in spite of his blindness, and Mary Maurice added the note of realistic and poignant anxiety which is characteristic of her restrained work as "somebody's mother." The exterior scenes were excellently done, but the interiors suggested the rooms of a New York apartment house rather than those in an Irish castle.
While this version of the rebellion does not express sympathy with the insurgents, the theme is so delicately handled that it could not offend adherents of either party. The issue is still live enough to attract on this score alone, and, since it is forcefully and artistically presented in this production, it is sure to appeal to the higher class of film patrons
"WHOM THE GODS DESTROY" (Five Parts--Dec. 18.)--the cast: Mary O'Neil (Alice Joyce); Leslie St. George Leigh (Harry T. Morey); Sir Denis Esmond (Marc MacDermottt); O'Neil (Logan Paul); Father McCarthy (Charles Kent); King of England (Thomas R. Mills); Lady Esmond (Mary Maurice); Carl (Mr. Siegel). Directed by William P.S. Earle.
The ominous call of war gives the Irish rebels and opportunity to prepare to strike for their freedom. One of the most diligent leaders is Sir Denis Esmond, who is prepared to lead the insurgents against England. Leslie St. George Leigh, a close friend of Esmond's and a true patriot of England, loses his eyesight while doing his duty in the North Sea.
Mary O'Neil, a lovable little Irish lass, is loved by both Leigh and Esmond, and not realizing the cost she is heart and soul in the insurgents cause and refuses to give either her answer until Ireland shall be free. Thinking to allay suspicion, she allows Leigh to come to Castle O'Neil while convalescing. When an English officer comes to the castle, Leigh gives his word of honor that Esmond has not been there, for he does not know that he has returned from Germany.
Later the Insurgents come in a body to the Castle for Esmond. Leigh speaks to Esmond until he is made to realize the cost, then addresses the rebels after getting Mary to give him, as she thinks, the English flag, but in reality she gives him the old Irish flag, fearing for his safety. He learns his mistake and signals to an English warship in the harbor for help. One of the insurgents learns of his trick and is about to assault him when Esmond intervenes and orders them to disperse. The soldiers arrive and the mob is dispersed after a struggle in which many are killed. Mary, coming from the Castle, learns the high cost which must be paid for rebellion when she sees the road scattered with wives and mothers crying over their soldier husbands who have fallen in the cause.
Esmond is captured by the soldiers and tried as a traitor. After a time he is sentenced to be hung. Mary clings to his broken-hearted mother through the trouble, and with Leigh's aid they try to obtain a pardon for him. In vain they make their appeals and at last the despairing mother forces her way into the King's presence, Mary following fearfully. Here again her plea is ignored and it is not until General Ramsey, a close friend, intervenes that the pardon is granted and Esmond allowed to go free.
Leigh, realizing that Esmond is now free and that his own affliction would make it impossible for him to ask Mary's hand in marriage, does his utmost to arrange the engagement, but he fails. Later he is given the Victoria Cross for his bravery and dutiful service to his country, but his final reward comes when Mary's love refuses to recognize his blindness and they are pledged to marry. The unselfish friendship of the men and their common love for the sweet Irish girl has made all things possible, and once more they stand together, stronger allied than before.

My power lock feature which stopped working. The heated seats work when the key is on the power position but stop working once engine is started. When switch for seats is turned on there is a whining noise that comes from under the dash. Could this be the relays. Any ideas or experience with these issues? Thanks
Did you ever fix your seats and locks? I have the same problem. I know for the power locks they are controlled by vaccum, so I'd start with looking for leaks (yuck)
The power lock vacuum is controlled by an electric pump. that in turn is controlled by an ecu which is also linked to the alarm and on some models to the electric windows/sunroof. you may want to check the electrical circuits as well as the vacuum pipes. I guess it would be worth checking the relays for the seat problem.

Inheritance Tax is the tax paid on the money and possessions you leave behind when you die, if the value is greater than the Inheritance Tax limit once any debts or outstanding payments have been deducted.
Anything over the Inheritance Tax limit which is currently £325,000 will be liable for tax payable at 40%.
Donations or gifts to charity, usually made when writing a Will, are tax free so a useful way to reduce your inheritance tax bill. Also if the value of your estate is over the threshold and you leave at least 10% to charity, the rate of tax you pay will reduce from 40% to 36%.
Take out Life Insurance
As part of your Inheritance Tax planning you may wish to consider taking out a whole of life insurance plan, sometimes referred to as an Inheritance Tax Insurance plan, in order to offset your tax bill - make sure the life policy is written in Trust, as if you don't you will end up paying more tax as your estate will be worth more money - if you are unsure as to your needs you should seek independent financial advice.

Đà Nẵng ( listen ) is one of the major port cities in Vietnam (in addition to Ho Chi Minh City and Haiphong) and the biggest city on the South Central Coast of Vietnam; the city is situated on the coast of the Eastern Sea, at the opening end of the Hàn River. Đà Nẵng is the commercial and educational center of Central Vietnam, with a well-sheltered, easily accessible port; its location on the path of National Route 1A and the North–South Railway makes it a hub for transportation. It is located within 100 km of several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Imperial City of Huế, the Old Town of Hội An, and the Mỹ Sơn ruins. The city was previously known as Cửa Hàn during early Đại Việt settlement, and as Tourane (or Turon) during French colonial rule. It is the third biggest economic center in Vietnam (after Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi).
Before 1997, the city was part of Quảng Nam-Đà Nẵng Province. On 1 January 1997, Đà Nẵng was separated from Quảng Nam Province to become one of five independent (centrally controlled) municipalities in Vietnam. Đà Nẵng is listed as a first class city,[2] and has a higher urbanization ratio than any of Vietnam's other provinces or centrally governed cities.[3] In terms of urban population, Đà Nẵng is the fifth largest city in Vietnam.[4]

Most of the names by which Đà Nẵng has been known make reference to its position at the Hàn River estuary. The city's present name is generally agreed to be a Vietnamese adaptation of the Cham word da nak, which is translated as "opening of a large river".[5][6]
Other Chamic sources, with similar definitions, have been proposed. Inrasara (aka Phú Trạm), a researcher specializing in Champa, suggests Đà Nẵng is a variation of the Cham word daknan (lit. "the large water"); Sakaya (aka Văn Món), another Champa researcher, claims a connection with the Raglai word danang, meaning "river source".[7] Another name given to Đà Nẵng was Cửa Hàn (lit. "mouth of the Han [river]"). The name used by the French, Tourane, is said to derive from this name, by way of a rough transliteration.[8] Notably, this name (spelled "Cua han") appears on maps of the area drafted by Alexandre de Rhodes in 1650. The name Kean (cf. Kẻ Hàn, roughly "Han market") was another name purportedly used during the 17th century to refer to the land situated at the foot of the Hải Vân Pass.[5]
The Chinese name, 峴港 (Vietnamese: Hiện Cảng), translates to either "port having many mussels" or "port by a small but dangerous mountain". The latter interpretation is taken as a reference to nearby Sơn Trà Mountain.[5]Other names referring to Đà Nẵng include:[5]
- Vũng Thùng, a colloquial name which survives in folklore.[nb 1]
- Trà Úc, Trà Áo, Trà Sơn and Đồng Long Loan, literary names used by Confucian scholars.
- In Sino-Vietnamese script, used until 1945, "Đà Nẵng" is written as 沱灢.
- Thái Phiên, a name used briefly after the 1945 August Revolution, commemorating Thái Phiên, the leader of popular revolts during the 1916 Duy Tân Resistance.
The city's origins date back to the ancient Champa Kingdom, established in 192 AD. At its peak, the Chams' sphere of influence stretched from Huế to Vũng Tàu. The city of Indrapura, at the site of the modern village of Dong Duong in Quảng Nam Province (about 50 km (31 mi) from Da Nang), was the capital of Champa from about 875 to about 1000 AD. Also in the region of Da Nang were the ancient Cham city of Singhapura ("City of the Lion"), the location of which has been identified with an archeological site in the modern village of Trà Kiệu, and the valley of Mỹ Sơn,[9] where a number of ruined temples and towers can still be viewed.
In the latter half of the 10th century, the kings of Indrapura came into conflict with the Đại Việt, who were then based at Hoa Lư near modern Hanoi.[10] In 982, three ambassadors sent to Champa by King Lê Hoàn of the Đại Việt (founder of the Early Lê Dynasty) were detained in Indrapura. Lê Hoàn decided to go on the offensive, sacking Indrapura and killing the Cham King Parameshvaravarman I. As a result of these setbacks, the Cham eventually abandoned Indrapura around 1000 AD.[11] The Đại Việt campaign against Champa continued into the late 11th century, when the Cham were forced to cede their three northern provinces to the rulers of the Lý Dynasty. Soon afterwards, Vietnamese peasants began moving into the untilled former Cham lands, turning them into rice fields and moving relentlessly southward, delta by delta, along the narrow coastal plain. The southward expansion of Đại Việt (known as Nam Tiến) continued for several centuries, culminating in the annexation of most of the Cham territories by the end of the 15th century.
Western contact
One of the first Europeans to visit Đà Nẵng was Portuguese explorer António de Faria, who anchored in Đà Nẵng in 1535. Faria was one of the first Westerners to write about the area and, through his influence, Portuguese ships began to call regularly at Hội An, which was then a much more important port than Đà Nẵng.[12] Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, French and Spanish traders and missionaries regularly made landfall at Hội An, just south of Đà Nẵng. An American, John White, arrived at Da Nang (then called Turon) on 18 June 1819 in the brig Franklin of Salem, Massachusetts, and was advised that the country was recovering from devastating wars, and that what little produce there was had already been promised. Other American ships arriving shortly after were the Marmion of Boston, and the Aurora and Beverly of Salem.[13][14] Conditions were such that they were unable to conduct trade, and the subsequent missions of British East India Company agent John Crawfurd in 1823[15] and the two missions of Andrew Jackson's agent, diplomatist Edmund Roberts, in 1833 and 1836 were unable to secure trade agreements.[13]:pp.19–40 Following the edict of Emperor Minh Mạng in 1835, prohibiting European vessels from making landfall or pursuing trade except at Hàn Port, Đà Nẵng quickly surpassed Hội An, becoming the largest commercial port in the central region.
In 1847, French vessels dispatched by Admiral Cécille bombarded Đà Nẵng, ostensibly on the grounds of alleged persecution of Roman Catholic missionaries. In August 1858, once again ostensibly on the grounds of religious persecution, French troops, led by Admiral Charles Rigault de Genouilly, and under the orders of Napoleon III, landed in Đà Nẵng as part of the punitive Cochinchina Campaign. The French overpowered the Vietnamese stationed in Đà Nẵng, swiftly occupying the city and Tiên Sa peninsula (present-day Sơn Trà peninsula). Despite their initial success, the occupying forces were quickly placed under siege by the Vietnamese army under the command of Nguyễn Tri Phương, and were eventually forced to retreat in March 1860. Conversely, however, the French were able to capture the southern stronghold of Saigon and, in June 1862, several provinces of southern Vietnam were ceded to the French as Cochinchina with the signing of the Treaty of Saigon.
Through two more decades of conflict, the French gradually strengthened their hold on Vietnam, culminating in the establishment of French Indochina (French: Union de l'Indochine Française) in October 1887.[16] Two years later, in 1889, the French colonists renamed the city Tourane, placing it under the control of the Governor General of Indochina.[17] It came to be considered one of Indochina's five major cities, among Hanoi, Saigon–Cholon, Hải Phòng, and Huế.
Vietnam War
During the Vietnam War, the city was home to a major air base that was used by both the South Vietnamese and United States air forces. The base was considered one of the world's busiest airports during the war,[18] reaching an average of 2,595 air traffic operations daily, more than any airport in the world at that time.[19] The final U.S. ground combat operations in Vietnam ceased on 13 August 1972, when a residual force of the 196th Light Infantry Brigade stood down in Đà Nẵng. B Battery 3rd Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment fired the final U.S. artillery round and the 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment finished their final patrols. This residual force was known as "Operation Gimlet". - After the US-retreat, in the final stage of the conquering of South Vietnam by North Vietnam, Da Nang fell to the communist forces March 29/30, 1975. The posts of the Vietnam issued two special postage stamps to commemorate this event, within its "total liberation" stamp set issued Dec. 14, 1976.
Đà Nẵng is the largest city in central Vietnam and one of the country's most important ports. Ringed by mountains on one side and the South China Sea on the other, Đà Nẵng borders Thừa Thiên–Huế Province across the Hải Vân Pass to the north, Quảng Nam Province to the south and west, and the ocean to the east. It is 759 km (472 mi) south of Hanoi, and 960 km (600 mi) north of Hồ Chí Minh City.[20]
Geology and topography
Geologically, Đà Nẵng is situated at the edge of a Paleozoic fold belt known as the Truong Son Orogenic Zone, whose main deformation occurred during the early Carboniferous period.[21] Đà Nẵng's topography is dominated by the steep Annamite mountain range to the north and northwest, featuring peaks ranging from 700 to 1,500 metres (2,300 to 4,900 ft) in height, and low-lying coastal plains with some salting to the south and east, with several white sand beaches along the coast.[22]
Đà Nẵng has a tropical monsoon climate with two seasons: a typhoon & wet season lasting from September through March and a dry season lasting from April through August. Temperatures are typically high, with an annual average of 25.9 °C (78.6 °F). Temperatures are highest between June and August (averaging 33 to 34 °C (91 to 93 °F)), and lowest between December and February (averaging 18 to 19 °C (64 to 66 °F)). Cold, wet and windy in winter, bringing even lower temperatures in December and January. The annual average for humidity is 80.6%, with highs between October and December (reaching 84%) and lows between June and July (reaching 74–75%).[23]
On average, Đà Nẵng receives 2,505 mm (98.6 in) of rainfall. Rainfall is typically highest between October and November (ranging from 550 to 1,000 mm (22 to 39 in)) and lowest between January and April (ranging from 23 to 40 mm (0.91 to 1.57 in)). Đà Nẵng receives an average of 2156 hours of sunlight annually, with highs between 234 and 277 hours per month in May and June and lows between 69 and 165 hours per month in November and December.[24]

Natural disasters
Đà Nẵng is susceptible to damage from typhoons that cross into the South China Sea. In 2006, the landfall of Typhoon Xangsane near the city of Huế caused 26 deaths in Đà Nẵng, damaging and destroying homes, downing trees and power lines and flooding major streets.[26][27]
Authorities in Đà Nẵng estimated the damage caused by Xangsane at around US$200 million, with more than 5,000 houses washed away, 166,000 homes damaged and 19 boats sunk.[28] Three years later, Typhoon Ketsana made its landfall about 37 miles (60 km) south of Đà Nẵng, again causing widespread flooding. Ketsana left eight people dead and 96 injured in Đà Nẵng, and caused an estimated VND 495 billion (US$25 million) in damage.[29][30]
Shortly after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, which triggered a powerful tsunami, the People's Committee of Đà Nẵng approved the installation of 10 early tsunami warning stations throughout the city, the first of their kind in Vietnam. Officials expected the stations would provide at least thirty minutes of warning in case of a tsunami. According to Le Huy Minh, Director of the Earthquake and Tsunami Warning Centre at the Vietnam Institute of Geophysics, a powerful earthquake (≥8 MW) in the waters north of the Philippines could pose a significant danger to the Vietnamese coastline, particularly the area around Đà Nẵng.[31]
Đà Nẵng is the fifth most populated city in Vietnam, with an area of 1,255.53 km² and a population of 951,700 as of 2011.[32] Women make up 50.7% of Đà Nẵng's population.[33]
- Population growth
Đà Nẵng's population has been growing at rates of between 2.5% and 3% during most of the years between 2005 and 2011, significantly exceeding the national average of 1% to 1.2%.[32] The growth rate briefly rose to 3.6% in 2010 before returning to its long-term trend with 2.68% in 2011. This is the third fastest growth rate in the country after the two southern manufacturing centers Bình Dương Province (4.41%) and Đồng Nai Province (3.5%).[32] Đà Nẵng's population is estimated to reach one million inhabitants by 2014.[1] Migration has been the dominant factor in the city's population growth at least since 2009, contributing 1.6% to 2.7% (2010) between 2009 and 2011.[32] Out-migration has been relatively high in 2011 at 0.79% compared to 0.34% and 0.55% in previous years, while the in-migration rate has been exceeding 2% since 2009 and was at 2.28% in 2011.[32] Đà Nẵng's natural population growth is only slightly higher than the national average. Its crude birth rate was recorded at 18 live births per 1000 persons; the crude death rate was measured at 6.7 per 1000 persons in 2011.[32] Life expectancy at birth was estimated at 77.4 years for women and 72.4 years for men, or 74.8 years overall in the 2009 population census. The infant mortality rate was measured at 9.9 infant deaths per 1000 live births,[32] less than two points above the nation's average for urban areas.
- Urbanization
The city has the highest urbanization ratio among provinces and municipalities in Vietnam,[34] containing only 11 rural communes, the fewest of any province-level unit in Vietnam.[35] As of 2009, 86.9% of Đà Nẵng's population lived in urban areas; average annual urban population growth was 3.5%.[33]
Administrative divisions
Đà Nẵng is subdivided into 8 district-level sub-divisions:
- 2 rural districts:
- 6 urban districts:
They are further subdivided into 1 commune-level town (or townlet), 14 communes, and 45 wards.
Before 1997, the city was part of Quảng Nam–Đà Nẵng Province. On 1 January 1997, Đà Nẵng was separated from Quảng Nam Province to become one of five independent (centrally-controlled) municipalities in Vietnam.

Đà Nẵng is the leading industrial center of central Vietnam. Its GDP per capita was 19 million VND in 2007, one of the highest in Vietnam (after Hồ Chí Minh City, Hanoi, Bình Dương Province, and Đồng Nai Province).[37] By 2009, this had increased to 27.3 million VND.[38]
Đà Nẵng led the Provincial Competitiveness Index rankings in 2008, 2009, and 2010 (and was second after Bình Dương Province in the three years before that), benefiting mostly from good infrastructure, good performance in labour training, transparency, proactive provincial leadership and low entry costs.[39]
Exports | million US$ (2007)[40] | Imports | million US$ (2007)[40] |

Exports increased to 575 million US$ in 2008, but fell back to 475 million US$ in 2009.[38]
Agriculture, forestry, fishing
Despite its status as a city, 37,800 people in Đà Nẵng were employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing as of 2007, producing 45,000t of rice and 41,000t of fish.[40] However, employment in these sectors had a clear negative trend in the first decade of the 21st century.[40] Gross output has also been decreasing during the second half of the decade.[38] Given Đà Nẵng's lack of agricultural land (9200ha as of 2007) and its location at the coast, fishing has been contributing more to the economy than agriculture, with a gross output more than twice that of agriculture.[40]
Đà Nẵng is a diversified industrial center, including industries such as machinery, electrics, chemicals, shipbuilding, and textiles.[41] Specific industrial products include aquatic products, fabric, clothes, bricks, fertilizer, cement, soap, paper, and medical tablets.[40] The city's industry may diversify further. EADS is planning to set up an industrial park focused on the aviation industry in Đà Nẵng.[42]
As of 2007, Đà Nẵng industry was dominated by the state sector, which made up 57% of gross output. This is about the same as its share in 2000.[40] Interestingly, over 80% of the state industry is centrally managed (in other words: belongs to state corporations headquartered in Hanoi).[40] Almost half of the rest is contributed by the foreign-invested sector, while the private domestic sector is still relatively small and has not been able to significantly increase its share compared to the state sector. Industry grew by an average 14.8% per year from 2000 to 2007, making it the main engine of economic growth. However, it has the second lowest industrial growth rate in the South Central Coast (behind only Khánh Hòa Province). Employment has grown at an average 5.75%, reaching 118,900 in 2007.[37]
Historically, Đà Nẵng's main marketplace has been the Hàn Market (Vietnamese: Chợ Hàn), which is located downtown near the western bank of the Hàn River, between Tran Phu and Bạch Đằng streets. This market, much like Bến Thành Market in Saigon, offers a wide variety of goods sold by many different vendors, such as clothing, silk, jewelry, flowers, foodstuffs such as dried fruit and fish, as well as coffee, tea and wine (including Vietnamese snake wine), etc.
Many new construction projects are underway in Đà Nẵng, including several beachfront resorts such as the US$130 million Hyatt Regency Danang Resort & Spa, and the Beach Resort complex (including Ocean Villas and Marriott Hotel) in Ngũ Hành Sơn.[43] Another ambitious project, the US$250 million Da Phuoc International New Town aims to construct an entirely new urban area on reclaimed land on the city's north sea coast, making it the first major land reclamation project in Central Vietnam. Plans for the Đa Phước project include the erection of a hotel and several smaller resorts, a 33-story apartment block and 60-story office block, an 18-hole golf course, a marina, as well as villas and international schools.[44][45]
The tourism sector is a vital component of Da Nang's economy. Its status as a transportation hub for Central Vietnam and its proximity to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Imperial City of Huế, the Old Town of Hội An, and the Mỹ Sơn ruins fuels much of its tourist activity.
Mỹ Sơn is an archaeological site dating back more than a thousand years, in Quảng Nam. Located in a remote forested valley some 70 km west of Đà Nẵng, this former capital and religious center of the Champa kingdom once contained in excess of 70 style temples and stupas. Although badly damaged by bombing raids in the 1960s, the site still has more than 20 structures and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. Many statues, sculptures and reliefs recovered from Mỹ Sơn are kept in the Museum of Cham Sculpture, near the Hàn River in the heart of Đà Nẵng. Dating from the fourth to the 14th centuries, the sensual artwork on these works depicts daily activities as well as Hindu and Buddhist religious themes.
The Marble Mountains are rocky limestone outcrops jutting out of the beach just south of Đà Nẵng. Paths lead to the top of the forested cliffs, affording spectacular views of Non Nuoc Beach and the South China Sea. The caves nestled in the cliffs were originally inhabited by the Cham people. Later, the Nguyễn Dynasty built numerous pagodas among the caves. The Marble Mountains are home to various artisans producing sculpture and artwork at its base at Non Nước Village. Non Nuoc Beach is a white sandy beach on the outskirts of Đà Nẵng is renowned for both its spectacular beauty and for its history as an R&R destination for American troops during the Vietnam War, when it was known as "China Beach".[46][47][48][49] Today, the beach, along with My Khê beach to the north, are home to expensive resorts, surfing and entertainment facilities. Bà Nà Hills is a mountain resort with a 5 km-long cable car system which carries guests up to Bà Nà's peak at 1487m above sea level. Sơn Trà Mountain, just some miles away from downtown with some wild streams and resorts along the seaside.
The Central Vietnamese cuisine in general and Da Nang cuisine in particular are not only well known in the country but also all over the world. This is the region where you can find the strongest and boldest flavor foods available in Vietnam such as Mì Quảng, Bún chả cá (Fish ball noodle soup), Bún mắm, Cánh gà chiên mắm (Fried chicken wings in fish sauce), Mít trộn (a salad mixed with jack-fruit and pork rind).[50]
Đà Nẵng's football club, SHB Đà Nẵng F.C., plays in the V-League, Vietnam's top professional football league. They are currently one of the most highly ranked teams in that league, having emerged from competition as champions of the 2009 V-League. In the same year, they were also champions at the Vietnamese Cup playoffs. They also qualified for the 2010 AFC Champions League and the 2010 AFC Cup; although they did not advance past the qualifying play-off in the Champions League,[51] they advanced to the quarter-finals of the AFC Cup after defeating Becamex Bình Dương in extra time.[52] Several Đà Nẵng F.C. players also play on Vietnam's national football team, including defender Võ Hoàng Quảng and midfielder Phan Thanh Hưng. SHB Đà Nẵng F.C. plays its home games at the Chi Lăng Stadium, a 30,000-seat stadium in Hải Châu District.
There are several universities located in Đà Nẵng, with campuses in many locations throughout the city, as well as satellite campuses in surrounding regions.
- University of Đà Nẵng, with a number of member colleges:
- Duy Tân University, private university
- The American University of Vietnam, private university
Đà Nẵng has a number of hospitals, including:
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is also known as "Da Nang lung" as many cases occurring during the Vietnam War were treated at a medical centre in Đà Nẵng.[53]
Đà Nẵng is on the end of the East–West Economic Corridor (EWEC) which stretches over Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Burma (Myanmar).
By air
Đà Nẵng International Airport, located at the center of the city, is the third largest international airport in Vietnam. It is an important gateway to access central Vietnam. The airport was known as Đà Nẵng Air Base during the Vietnam War, during which time it was described as the world's busiest airport.[18] During the month of May 1968, the base reached an average of 2,595 air traffic operations daily, more than any airport in the world.[19] As of June 2011, the airport has domestic connections to Hanoi, Hồ Chí Minh City, Hải Phòng, Buôn Ma Thuột, Đà Lạt, Nha Trang, and Pleiku, as well as international connections to Guangzhou (China), Siem Reap (Cambodia), Singapore, and Taipei (Taiwan).
Beginning 16 December 2011, a Malaysian low-cost carrier- Air Asia, began offering four flights a week between Đà Nẵng and Kuala Lumpur. A new international terminal opened in December 2011[54] and which is expected to allow further connections to destinations such as Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea.[55]
By land
Đà Nẵng is a major station along the North–South Railway, also known as the Reunification Express. National Highways 1A and 14B run through the city, providing road connections to Hanoi in the north and Hồ Chí Minh City in the south, as well as the Central Highlands and Laos to the west. The Hải Vân Pass is a mountain pass separating Đà Nẵng and Thừa Thiên–Huế Province, where Highway 1A road passes through. To cut down on transit time and the danger to motorists from navigating the twisting mountain road, the Hải Vân Tunnel was built, opening in 2005. It is the longest tunnel in Southeast Asia at 6.28 km, and allows motorists to save between 30 minutes and an hour on traveling times over the old Hải Vân Pass route. An expressway between Đà Nẵng and nearby Quảng Ngãi is also in the planning stages.
Several bridges cross the Han River and its tributaries in Đà Nẵng, including the iconic Han River Bridge, Trần Thị Lý Bridge, Nguyễn Văn Trỗi Bridge, Tuyen Son Bridge and the recently completed Thuận Phước Bridge, which is the longest suspension bridge in Vietnam.[56] The Dragon River Bridge will cross the Han River at the Le Dinh Duong/Bạch Đằng roundabout, offering tourists coming from Đà Nẵng International Airport a more direct route to Mỹ Khế and Non Nuoc beaches, along the city's eastern edge.
By sea
Đà Nẵng's port system is the third largest in Vietnam after Hồ Chí Minh City and Hải Phòng. In 2008, Đà Nẵng's port handled 2.7 million tons of cargo, of which 1.2 million tons were exports, 525,900 tons were imports, and 985,600 tons were domestic cargo. Over 29,600 passengers passed through the port in 2008, a significant increase over previous years.[57] The port system consists of two areas: Tiên Sa Seaport, and Song Hàn Terminal. Tiên Sa Seaport has a navigation depth of 11m, and is able to receive medium range tankers of up to 45,000 DWT, as well as container ships and large cruise ships. The approach to Song Hàn Terminal is 12 nautical miles (22 km) long with a navigation depth of 6-7m, and can accommodate vessels of up to 5,000 DWT. Vietnam National Shipping Lines (Vinalines) is the port authority for Đà Nẵng's port system.[57]
Despite the fact that the port's infrastructure is not specifically designed to accommodate cruise ships, the number of large cruise ships docking at Đà Nẵng Port has increased in recent years.[58] In the first two months of 2010 alone, 12 cruise ships docked in Đà Nẵng, carrying 6,477 passengers.[59]

The brutal reality of Donald Trump's hardline stance on immigration came into force last night when he ordered a four-month ban on all refugees entering the US. The President also singled out refugees from Syria as barred from entering the country indefinitely, or until he himself decides they are allowed in.
No visas will be issued to immigrants from seven mainly-Muslim nations including Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen for 90 days.
"I'm establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America. Don't want them here," Trump said earlier on Friday at the Pentagon.
"We only want to admit those into our country who will support our country and love deeply our people," he said.

Project Description
FROM AIA VIRGINIA:Located on a sloping site along the Potomac River the Alexandria Residence evokes the traditional farmhouses that were once found in this area. This contemporary interpretation of a simple gable roof house has the recognizable massing of the past. Linking the two stone 'houses', one large and one small, are one-story glass and mahogany volumes.
Although the forms are traditional, the spaces and detailing are of today. Large expanses of glass in mahogany frames open the house to the natural beauty of the site and provide sweeping views of the lush garden and the river. Interior spaces connect to stone terraces, roof deck and balconies, each with its own perspective on the tranquil site, and a view of the farm on the far bank.

My introduction to the ways of the Goans started with a spool of thread.

Water has been sourced and the fans have been turned off – the power is out in Goa again. At 30 degrees but with 71 percent humidity, it's almost the end of the season here, and beneath the casual behaviour of the vendors, there's an definite sense of urgency. Who will go back to the […]
Settling into the Indian South
From the moment I stepped off the plane in Chennai, I knew I was going to like South India. The air was warmer and more comfortable, the streets were cleaner, and people were happier – not to mention the strange absence of beggars wandering around. We'd left the North in somewhat of a rush, with […]
A Snapshot of Southern India

Beggars, Bedbugs and the Back of the Taj
I always knew that India was going to be filled to the brim with tiny hands asking for food and painfully skinny women asking for money.

It seems to be becoming drier and more foreign when I see it in the mirror – so […]
Who is Flora The Explorer?
I'm Flora, a freelance writer, traveller and avid volunteer with an obsession for hunting out the weirdnesses of the world.
Over the last seven years I've lived in Florence & San Francisco, worked in India & Iceland, volunteered in Nepal & Lithuania, and more recently spent eighteen months attempting to become fluent in Spanish while journeying around South America. After stints as as a Colombian journalist, a Bolivian artificial limb maker and a Brazilian builder, I've come back to London for my Masters degree - and to plan my next adventure.
My vague aim is to visit every continent twice before I turn thirty one – and explore as much of the world as possible in the meantime! Follow along on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

I'm not old, honest...
Shooting is probably the worst thing I experienced with my surgery. When shooting open sights, especially pistol, I have to focus on the target and line up the blur of the sights. Meaning with my arms outstretched, I can see the barrel reasonably well but I cannot focus the front sight into the gap of the rear sight. I tried using my readers to see the sights and focus on the blur of the target and it's very uncomfortable. With that, at about 30-50 ft I can hold my pattern within a 10" or less bulls eye. Certainly not ideal but it would save my life. My other problem is that I am left handed, left eye dominant and have always shot left handed. Unfortunately, my left eye is not as good as my right. This past fall I started shooting right handed and am a much better shot. Probably cut my pattern down to 50-75% of what it was. So, I'm going to continue to work on that. But, with an emergency situation, my instincts will be left handed so I need to shoot both. I have a .22 pistol with a red dot scope and I can hit small 2" or less targets no problem.
As far as a rifle and scope, the magnifiction of the scope works out really well and I can do OK without my readers. Again, it turns out I am shooting better right handed than left. Shooting my .223 with a 4x scope a couple weeks ago at 50 yards or so, (the distance of my range up north) I was holding probably a 2 1/2" pattern. I realize this is nothing to brag about by any means but with my eyes, that's the best I am getting. However, with my .22 & a 4x scope, I can hold half that. Yes, it's the shooter. I have not shot a rifle with open sights in years. However, I'm still a good shot with a shotgun and bird hunting. So, overall, a bit of a nusiance but still worth it. |

I am also a left eye dominate and have always shot a firearm lefty. Luckly my left eye is better than the right. I do not wear glasses yet, but I can see them in the near future. I carry firearms for my job, which means I have to requalify semi-annually. The quals involve a few optics, and std. pistol sights, both strong & weak hand. I have heard horror stories from coworkers that claim to have seen issues with people who had lasik having a hard time being able to see clear sight pictures after the surgery, I wondered if it was true or not. It seems to be true from what you a saying, so I will not plan getting the lasik done then.

I can shoot pretty decent groups (about 5" at 25 yards) for an amateur. I never shot before lasik so I had no habits to 'unlearn'. But it is true, your eye focuses either near or far, so either the sights are fuzzy or the target is.

Wooden yurts made in Fermont
Still used in the steppes of Central Asia today, yurts are an ancient design of shelter, circular in form, made of felt or canvas. A group of four residents from the mining boom town of Fermont, in northeastern Quebec, is manufacturing modern yurts made from local wood. Jacquie found out more about the yurts built by Nature-Concept at the Cottage & Country Homes Show in Quebec City.

Bank Routing Number
A routing number is a 9 digit code for identifying a financial institution for the purpose of routing of checks (cheques), fund transfers, direct deposits, e-payments, online payments, and other payments to the correct bank branch.
Routing numbers are also known as banking routing numbers, routing transit numbers, RTNs, ABA numbers, and sometimes SWIFT codes (although these are quite different from routing numbers as SWIFT codes are solely used for international wire transfers while routing numbers are used for domestic transfers).
Routing numbers differ for checking and savings accounts, prepaid cards, IRAs, lines of credit, and wire transfers. All banks usually have separate routing numbers for each of the states in the US.
You can look for the routing number on the check (cheque book) issued by your bank or can search this website for free.

Mexico City In a sign of the spreading violence in Mexico, 11 decapitated bodies were found late Thursday near the colonial city of Merida on the Yucatan peninsula, officials said.
The bodies bore signs of torture, and some were unclothed. Yucatan state officials said a 12th decapitated body was found later about 120 miles south of Merida, a city that is often used as a gateway for tourists on their way to the famed Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza.
Warring drug gangs have routinely decapitated rivals during the past two years as they battle for coveted routes for smuggling drugs north into the United States.
Four decapitated bodies were found in Tijuana earlier this week in killings that appeared tied to fighting among traffickers over control of the corridor into San Diego.
But headless bodies have also turned up in other corners of Mexico as violence has spread beyond traditional battlegrounds along the U.S. border.
The Web site of the El Universal newspaper said the bodies found in Yucatan were handcuffed and showed signs that they were beaten. The Reuters news service, citing unnamed police sources, reported that the bodies had tattoos of star signs and the letter "Z."

Scientific Binomial Name:
A great herb mix for any pasta dish.
In general, herbs should be fresh looking, crisp and brightly-colored.
Avoid herbs that are wilted, have dry brown areas, or are pale or yellow in color. Slimy looking dark spots with small areas of mold indicate old product or poor handling.
Most herbs benefit from being stored with freshly cut stems in a glass of water - either in or out of the refrigerator.
Herbs will not ripen further after harvest.

My passenger side break light only works when it wants to. The amber warning light comes on also. It spends most of the time not working and just decides to work for a bit then off again. Any ideas guys? Oh BTW, a beep has just started sounding when the light decides not to work. The beep never used to sound. Why would it start out of the blue?
remove the light fitting and bulb clean the bulb housing replace bulb make sure the b-housing is a tight fit to the bulb check the loom is securely connected re-fit..

Test Setup Overview and Settings
The following table lists all of the system components we use in our new storage reference system. In addition to the Supermicro motherboard and Intel Core i7 processor, we picked Corsair DDR3 memory and two rather old components: an ATI Radeon HD 3450 graphics card, and a Seagate NL35 400 GB hard drive. Neither is particularly fast, but they don't have to be. The graphics card doesn't matter at all for storage testing, and the hard drive is only important for system and benchmark startup. Since neither of these components affects benchmark performance on test drives, we could use essentially any component we wanted.
We picked the Radeon HD 3450, as it requires relatively low power and is passively cooled. The Seagate hard drive was one of the first business drives validated for 24/7 operation. Since we happened to have three of these drives in our labs, we decided to go with this one, so we can quickly replace a faulty drive should a problem arise, restoring the benchmarking state within a few minutes without changing the type of hard drive.

Component Settings
We installed Windows Vista Ultimate with Service Pack 1 and turned off all maintenance and visual options, as well as SuperFetch, to make sure that performance doesn't vary due to any of the built-in Windows features. In addition, we switched off all power saving mechanisms for the same reason: performance has to be reproducible. As we found recently, using power saving options does have an impact on performance of the fastest SSDs, such as Intel's X25-M.
The memory runs at default CL9 timings, which isn't fast, but again, it doesn't have to be; reliability was our key priority. We installed all drivers that are typically required to get good performance: ATI's 8.12 Catalyst release, Intel's Chipset Installation Utility version 18.104.22.1687 and the Matrix Storage drivers from Intel, version 22.214.171.1247.
