Secret Underground Cities - From America to Australia
Today, our civilization is mostly concerned with what goes on above ground. Our cities are bustling cosmopolitan centers for commerce and business transactions - rarely, if ever, do we consider what might be lurking right underneath our feet, under the very streets of the places where we play and work.
But they are there: massive, intricate tunnel systems, hiding places, buildings...and all below ground. Some are only a hundred years old, others centuries, but all are fascinating.
Underground Cities in America: Portland
Imagine, it is 1908 and you are a big, brawny man satisfying your thirst with a few frosty mugs of beer in your favorite neighborhood bar in Portland, Oregon. A few more beers with all your friends, and things get rowdier as your buddies get more intoxicated. You laugh, swap jokes and stories, and soon all of you are swaying on your feet. With a belch and a wipe of the mouth with your sleeve, you set down your mug and are on your way to the bathroom, trying to weave somewhat of a straight line. Suddenly, a trap door opens underneath your feet and you plummet feet first into darkness. A mattress breaks your fall, but you are now in a cage, with broken glass strewn about outside. The trap door swings back up, locks into place, and your friends are none the wiser. Your shoes are taken so in the unlikely event of escape, the broken glass will cut your feet and leave a trail of blood for your captors to follow. You have just been 'Shanghaied.'
This scenario was all too common in Portland from the year 1850 to 1941, where able-bodied men dropped through trap doors in bars or the dead-ends of alleys and into the Portland Underground Tunnels, or the 'Shanghai Tunnels.' These tunnels are intricately connected catacombs that extend for miles underneath the city and shanghaiers, bootleggers, white slavers and opium den owners used them for various purposes. The shanghaied men would find themselves on a ship bound for the Orient as sailors who endured scanty rations and terrible living situations.
The white slavers kidnapped girls as young as 14 and forced them into prostitution, but not before confining them to complete darkness in a tiny little cell, barely big enough to move in - to break down their minds, spirits and wills before selling them off to the highest bidder.
Havre Beneath the Streets
In Havre, Montana there is an underground section that catacombs underneath the city in a series of secret passageways. Rich with history, 'Havre Beneath the Streets', as it is called, was the home of many turn-of-the-century businesses. Some of these included the Sporting Eagle Saloon, Wah Sing Laundry, Wright's Dental Office, Boone's Drug Store and a bordello.
As with Portland, these tunnels were often used for seedy purposes, including the illegal transport of liquor during prohibition. The passageways themselves were built by early Chinese immigrants, who used them to escape persecution above ground as well as to house their businesses, including a prolific opium market with opium dens.
In the Bordello, otherwise respectable citizens of the city could escape through the tunnels undetected, and employ one of the Ladies of the Night for one to four dollars, depending on the desirability of the woman.
Underground Cities In Europe
Paris: The Catacombs
The Catacombs under Paris, France are world-famous - they spiderweb more than 300 feet beneath the city streets. A part of this vast labyrinth is in fact a limestone quarry that has been harvested to make the buildings, sidewalks, monuments and bridges.
A part of these catacombs became a mass grave for more than 6 million people: the wealthy or poor, the insane and sane, the pure and corrupt - death is indeed the great leveler of humanity. The builders piled bones indiscriminately atop one another without thought to who they belong to, only how to save the maximum amount of space. During the Revolution, when land was scarce and the cemeteries overcrowded, the government decided to move the bones of the dead to the empty quarries.
Visitors can see the catacombs by entering through a simple black door, head down a staircase, past a gallery, and finally through a chamber where a sign reads in French: 'Stop - this is the Empire of Death!' And still the bones fill only a fraction of these meandering tunnels, which come with a heavy fine if you are found exploring one. Those who take it upon themselves to adventure into the catacombs despite the hazards and possible fines are called 'Cataphiles.'
Underground Cities in Cappadocia, Turkey
The underground cities of Cappadocia were carved out the native rock largely due to the lack of trees for building material. As a result, the subterranean settlements are multilevel with built-in ventilation shafts, about 18 stories deep, and at one time housed over 20,000 people. Most of the cities had stables for horses hollowed out of the same volcanic rock, as well as churches, water tanks, wine cellars, tombs, missionary schools, study rooms, vertical staircases and millstone doors that rolled across to seal the entrance.
The earliest description of underground Cappadocia is in the Greek mercenary Xenophon's work titled Anabasis. "The houses were built underground," he wrote, "the entrances were like wells, but they broadened out lower down. There were tunnels dug in the ground for the animals, while the men went down by ladder. . ." Mostly, the urban complexes served as refuge for the Hittites, who used them in defense against raiders. According to historians, this enigmatic civilization vanished into thin air after ruling for nearly 800 years.
Cappadocia, Turkey
Underground Cities: The Giza Plateau
City of the Gods
Underneath the Giza Plateau is an enormous and complex underground system complete with natural caverns, snaking passageways, ancient chambers, subterranean rivers and hydraulic underground waterways.
This 'City of the Gods' was purportedly discovered after the declassification of SIRA, a ground-penetrating radar, which has been mapping these subterranean features since 1978. Led by scientist Dr. Jim Hurtak, a crew explored the megalithic metropolis, risking life and limb to penetrate into the massive chambers (supposedly bigger than our largest cathedrals) in hopes of securing ancient artifacts and caches of Egyptian records.
Some historians believe this to be the same labyrinth described by the Greek historian Herodotus: "There I saw twelve palaces regularly disposed, which had communication with each other, interspersed with terraces and arranged around twelve halls. It is hard to believe they are the work of man. The walls are covered with carved figures, and each court is exquisitely built of white marble and surrounded by a colonnade. Near the corner where the labyrinth ends, there is a pyramid, two hundred and forty feet in height, with great carved figures of animals on it and an underground passage by which it can be entered."
Speculations about the function of the City of the Gods differ; some argue that it was the center of the Egyptian mystery schools, still others believe that the Egyptians used the crisscrossing tunnels as an ancient subway system. Supposedly, the expedition that explored the underground city made a documentary about their discoveries titled "Chambers of the Deep." The film was shown to private audiences, but for reasons unknown, withheld from the general public.
Honorable Mention
Due to a reader's suggestion, Coober Pedy, Australia is being added to the list of underground cities. This remote location was used for filming in the movies Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Red Planet. It is one of the only places in the world to have a golf course with no grass, and the only tree is one made by welding together scraps of iron.
There are underground churches, houses, hotels, bed and breakfasts, and some of the houses even have underground swimming pools. Here the reason for living underground is to conserve energy and to get away from the heat, which can skyrocket up to over 55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees).
Coober Pedy is known as the opal capital of the world. One man who was building himself an underground home with seventeen rooms found enough opals during excavation to pay for the entire thing. Now that's smart building!

Very cool! Interesting at that!
A hub of facts and magic and you have composed it well.Thank you
For an underground city of a different connotation and is fiction
I refer you to:- THE WORLD BENEATH DINOTOPIA.
only IF you LIKE FANTASY AND FICTION mixed TOGETHER
I like your facts
What about Coober Pedy in Australia - a real underground city - i.e. there is very little above ground!
Wow that is interesting! Thanks
Very interesting with lots of information. Currently there are real underground cities in Montreal & Toronto, Canada too.
I've long been curious about the caves of Capadoccia. I didn't know about the underground of Portland. This is a truly fascinating hub!
hi so nice
What an interesting hub. Thanks for sharing!
wow... i thought underground cities could only be found in Turkey... great writing!
I am amazed at the whole Portland part of this story. Very cool, and now I am going to dig a little deeper on Google to find out even more!
This is fascinating. I have visited the Catacombs of Paris and they are one of the creepiest places on earth. I had not heard about the other underground cities. I would be very interested in learning more about the alleged underground city at Giza. Could you publish a hub about that?
Cool . There's a wealth of information down there :-)
Very interesting. Thanks
It occurs to me that Sydney have forgotten tunnels.
Yes I will agree they are not cities. They were tram lines. Very big.
This is an interesting place.
Very nice and interesting hub. There are many more places all over the world, but you mentioned the most famous. Thanks!
good subject!
Glad to see you added Coober Pedy. It came to mind as soon as you mentioned undergound cities. The Paris catacombs are truly bizarre and spectacular. Great Hub!
This is a GREAT post. I actually intended to write a comment on how good your first pull-in sentence was, at the beginning of the article, but as I scrolled down, and saw your photos, variety of examples covered, and detail -- great stuff.

I am visiting Paris as we speak, and we explored the Catacombs earlier today. It was terrifying (I'm a little afraid of the dark, I'll admit) and wondrous and humbling all at once, and the first I heard of it was in this hub five months ago! So thanks for giving me a GREAT place to visit!!
Very cool! I'm going to Paris in the spring with my boyfriend. I'll make sure we check out your find!
Very well written, I enjoyed reading this article.
I'm posting it on my facebook.
Excellent hub!!!
Fascinating stuff - thanks !
I have read about the mystery schools underground in Egypt. Initiation temples they have been called. Great !!
Excellent Hub!
love and amazed 2 see these places i wish 2 go their sme day
Excellent hub Sarena! and some very fascinating history and facts about this subject which is so intriguing!! The nearest i get to this feeling is London underground everyday!,
The things you find on HubPages. Underground cities now! You have definitely whetted my appetite for these deep, dark places.
wow, this is so phenominal! I would love to visit all of these.
Great hub!
Very interesting! I wonder what there is to walk over in South Carolina... :)
I saw a special on the History channel about this same subject... Underground cities are really very fascinating. Great Hub with really cool pictures.
This is so interesting.. I had no idea that such places existed.
this is so neat! thank you for sharing!
I love underground places! I would love to build a home underground. Thanks for the great hub :)
That was a great hub!
I enjoy the unique and underground places have always interested me. I was not aware of some of the places that you mentioned such as Montana. I can fully understand the need for people to find a place to get away from others due to persecution.
From the beginning of time people have built these structures and I wonder why we don't now for energy reasons,
Good, article, underground is a place for not only hiding for children but also a place for meditation and other activities. There are doomsday undergrounds too.
Seattle has a good sized underground, mostly in the Denny regrade area, there the higher streets were sluiced, with the lower portions being raised by 10 feet or more, hence Seattle's underground came to be.
I LOVED THIS PIECE OF WORK , SO FASANATING TO ME , And so AMAZING AND I HAVE TO SAY UNBELIEVABLE , just blows you away to think of the accomplishments in that time?
Good article!
The most famous "underground" in Europe has to be the catacombs of Rome. They are quite extensive and many are still in use today. One large area (actually several connecte cacverns) is a famous restaurant "Da Meo Patacca". I've eaten there and it's fascinating - if a little scary :)
Wow, this is amazing. I never have seen this images before but I heard from heresay that underground cities exists a long time ago. Those underground caverns looks creepy but it's quite fascinating. Great hub! :)
I have heard about that. Very interesting info.
WOW, I would love to explore,unfortunately I am stuck in South Africa but I do get to see the things you see through the web, so thank you so much on your hub.
Check out my hub: https://hubpages.com/relationships/expressions--Fi
I love those "urban exploration photographs and videos"... and this is something like that! Great Hub!
i love to live there. cool & quite place. thanks for the hub
Excellent Hub! Very interesting.
This is so interesting....great topic. Thoroughly enjoyed your hub.
I loved it. I enjoy the TV show so I naturally was drawn to your title. Keep up the good work.
This really arouses the imagination to a point where it could be factual, I'm sure a portion is true. Gibralter could have been included. I'm fed up with murder mystereis on TV
Great post! Thanks for the information!
I had been Capadoccia, Turkey last year. it was really fantastic. There
This is mysterious topic. i heard that there are more than 200 underground cities in capadoccia. and only 9 cities is opened to public. wooooow. i want to go turkey and see these cities.
Very Fascinating indeed!!! Never knew about Australia. I have always read about the catacombs in France. That is creepy but also fascinating at the same time. I wonder how many "small" towns or cities have the same? I bet we would all be astonished. I know where I live in Southwest Virginia that there are several "natural" occuring caverns under some of the towns, but I have yet to hear or read of anything like Portland, but it would now surprise me if they were not used as well during prohibition. Great information and great writing!!!!!!!!!!!
I had heard of the underground cities and catacombs, but I didn't know they were so widely dispersed. I had sort of thought that they were mythical. Reading this gave me chills. I want to go see these underground cities sometime.
Great thanks for info... all great
I really love your hub
You have done a great job. I'm lovin it.
This is an awesome hub!
Wow I just read a book with an underground city. I only knew of the one the presidinant made.
I lived in Portland for years and luckily never fell in to any whole and got trapped-underground. Portland and Seattle a great places to visit and to live if you have the money.
thats amazing.
I enjoyed reading this - very interesting content!
Just read this hub - it's great. Makes me shiver, though, the idea of having a quiet drink then ending up press-ganged on to a ship!
Very interesting hub. Those places sound very fascinating.
some great information, quite a different take on the underworld, if i ever travel to one of these cities, i'm going to make sure i'll check them out. Thanks for the hub!
This is such an interesting and well written HUB. Kudos!!
Very interesting and fascinating!! I had never seen pictures of it before THANK YOU!
What about Underground Seattle? We visited there in 1978 and were dissapointed that it didn't make your list. It's a fascinating place.
Very interesting !
Thanks for your post!!!
I think it would be way cool to have an underground house or a paortian underground. Great article.
Great hub. You may want to check out the catacombs in Exeter UK
very cool stuff, i never knew about so many of them
Wow excellent hub, would love to go see all those places one day! Great information thankyou.
I think it would be interesting to see what various governments have constructed over the centurys that we've never known about and probly never will know about them.
I visited Havre under ground last year and was amazed that this exists in such a small beautiful town. The tour guide was extremely knowledgable. If you are in Montana, take the tour. It's worth it. Great Hub.
it's an interesting place to live. it must have an interesting. pretty cool.
thanks for sharing.
This is so amazing! I can't believe anything like this even exists. Fantastic!
interesting. I would love to learn more about the tunnels in Tabor, Czech Republic. I've heard they go 5 or 6 layers deep.
Incredible! Thanks for sharing these interesting facts! You have also added nice photos! Again Thanks!
Fascinating stuff. You write well, and should post more hubs!
I know a city who has got many tunnels and never been explore why I know? because I was raise there get back to me!
Very very interesting hub. I'm not from that city, but I've heard that Naples too has a big underground part. Used still today for various reasons.
This is so cool and remarkable about was may live below us. Subjects like this are always so welcome and interesting. Great job!
We are going to read City of Ember for our last six weeks and so I started doing research on underground cities. I liked your hub it is great. My students will be creating their own city underground.
WOW, i am writing a 5 page essay on underground cities, that was extrememly helpeful and fascinating, i love the intro about falling through the trap doors!
Wow! It is very interesting. Excellent Hub.
Incredible hub!
I never heard about any underground city.
The pix are also amazing.
Interesting and useful. I am about take a 2 months tour of Europe and on return would go to "whirrling dervash" city of Turky.
Thanks for a good hub.
It really very interesting stuff here. Very much new for me at least.
Thanks for sharing this all. You are really exploring the world in a great way.
Thanks for this share dude. Really these are very much new for me. I will be visiting some soon.
Thank you for your post, it was really informative, and your way of expression was great, you described things in a great way, making the reader feel that the things are infront of them.
I love the article about The Catacombs. Great in dept knowledge. Keep up the good work
Very nice! It interests me much. I liked it.
I was happy to read this but i was hopping to learn more about the underground town in Australia. I also would love to learn more about the underground city of the past IDK where it is located though but by the carveings its been said that beings from elswhere called the Ant people came to help the humans build it and live there for a certain time and afterward. This city was huge even had stables for all sorts of animals and a huge rolling door witch could only be open thru the inside of the town. So it was most likely used to lock out someone or thing
man that is some crazy stuff. I'm almost intrigued to do some of the same myself
good job..!
Nice caption. I like reading from you.
Quite informative i must say and also it was presented very well.
fantastic hub...I guess it is true that you never know where an open door leads :)
Thanks for sharing good information. It's a good job.
wow this is really cool. i never knew this, great information and finds.
This would be a great way to conserve energy today all over the world. Very nice and informative hub.
nice hub.you took me to a new world.thanks and nice pics.
Under Times Square in NYC is a wonderful little restaurant named "Baby's". You can get all kinds of gelato and pasta there for cheap. On Sundays after late mass, they run specials on zuppo and frappes. It's in an old natural grotto far beneath the street. Truly fascinating!
Re: Baby's: There's a rumor and much hard proof that a now dried up, huge underground lake used to run through the old grotto and, for that matter, most of what is now Manhattan and the lower Hudson Valley. It was used by some sort of ancient religious sect for dark rituals as far back as 25,000 B.C. or earlier. It's hard to put a date on it when you go that far back in time. But indications are still there if you know where to look.
All this information is great!
I've seen photos of Coober Pedy, but that's the only one I'd heard of before this Hub.
wow this was very interesting. I wonder if there are underground cities with people actually living in them that just haven't been discovered.
Well written and informative! I love that you have included Cooper Pedy. :-)
For Bekkah Campbell above - here is are are couple of YouTube videos:
What about underground New York City?
What about it?!
Wow why did they post this is it specificly says hidden or secret now there not secret anymore lol I would keep this a secret
Wow, who knew eh? I really enjoyed reading your hub, you showed some really interesting places.
Voted up and awesome for you.
Andy, from http://coffeealera.com
oh my god what sceary
What a great hub and thanks for sharing.
I now look forward to so many more.
Thanks great hub well written
Thank you for an excellent, well researched article. I wonder why it is that so many humans have this desire to go underground.
kind regards Peter

This is no surprise to me whatsoever.
Defense lawyers, amplified by Duke alumni and a group of bloggers who have closely followed the case, have portrayed it as a national scandal -- that there is only the flimsiest physical evidence of rape, that the accuser is an unstable fabricator, and that Mr. Nifong, in the middle of a tight primary campaign, was summoning racial ghosts for political gain.
By disclosing pieces of evidence favorable to the defendants, the defense has created an image of a case heading for the rocks. But an examination of the entire 1,850 pages of evidence gathered by the prosecution in the four months after the accusation yields a more ambiguous picture. It shows that while there are big weaknesses in Mr. Nifong's case, there is also a body of evidence to support his decision to take the matter to a jury.
I also expect the defense's operatives to attempt to spin the contents of this story into proof that a gang rape couldn't have happened. Everyone knows that all real crimes result in open and shut criminal cases where the guilty can't possibly be found not guilty. Right?
The defense team and those committed to denying that "nice young college men" could even possibly commit rape have put forth a nice fairy tale with the alleged victim as the wicked witch and the prosecutor as the evil genius attempting to give life to a lie. Their shouts of, "Innocent until proven guilty," very conveniently only apply to alleged rapists and not to alleged victims, prosecutors or law enforcement personnel.
The conspiracy theorists are marketing the Duke Rape Case as the Duke Rape Hoax with the hope that their attacks on everyone and anyone who supports the continuation of this case will pressure someone into dropping the case before it reaches a jury.
After all those nice boys don't deserve to face the legal justice system.
This issue is bigger than this one case. What's being attempted by those who attack this alleged victim is also being attempted against many other rape victims individually and as a group. All of us who have spoken up and said, "I was also a rape victim," are part of the conspiracy against men -- who of course have done nothing that should be a crime.
All sensible people know that sexual assault isn't a pervasive problem. After all, by conservative estimates, it only happens once every five minutes or so. Why there's a bigfoot sighting nearly that often.

Yes, You Can Have Nutella and Wine at Every Meal. Here's How
Yes, You Can Have Nutella and Wine at Every Meal. Here's How
Posted December 01, 2014
Sandra Zotti
I have a thing for Nutella. Always have. Probably always will.
It started for me back in my childhood years. Nutella on a piece of freshly toasted bread at breakfast. Can you think of a better way to start your morning? Fast forward to my college years when my late night snack of choice was Nutella on Stella D'oro's "S" cookies. (side note: if you haven't tried, you MUST!) The combination of the chocolate hazelnut spread and the soft crunch of the slightly almond flavored cookie was sheer bliss to me!
These days, I like to believe that my Nutella consumption has "matured" some. I spend most of my weekends in the kitchen whipping up the latest Nutella recipe I can find, while enjoying with it the perfectly paired glass of wine. Ahhh, the wine!
Here is a menu featuring some of my favorite Nutella recipes, along with my suggested wine picks. Let's call it "The Perfect Day" menu! Nutella for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert? For me, it just doesn't get more perfect than that!
BREAKFAST - Sweet and Spicy Bacon Coated with Nutella
Pair with: Les Rocailles Brut de Savoie
Chocolate, chili powder, salt and crispy bacon? As heavenly as the combination sounds, it goes without saying that there are a lot of different flavors happening here. Hailing from the French Alps, this lightweight aromatic sparkler is the perfect match to cleanse your palate bite after bite. The subtle nutty, yeast and fresh brioche aromas are an added bonus. After all, who doesn't like a little bread with their bacon??
LUNCH - Calzone with Mascarpone and Nutella
Pair with: 2012 Charles Smith Velvet Devil Merlot
With a name like "Velvet" Devil, you know you are in for a treat! Merlot's ripe, rich fruit, soft tannic profile along with aromatics of vanilla and cocoa, make it a magical pairing for the soft creamy cheese and delicate hazelnut chocolate that ooze out of this pizza Italiana!!
DINNER - Chocolate Hazelnut Ravioli

Nandankanan turns in to a maternity ward
Thu, 06 Mar 2008 08:46:00
Nandankanan Zoo has the rare distinction of successful rearing and captive breeding of highly threatened species like Indian Pangolin (Manis crassicaudata ).

Bhubaneswar, Feb 06
There is every reason to cheer at Nandankanan Zoo. The Zoo is teeming with new born including two cute and cuddly normal colour tiger cubs and difficult to breed Indian Pangolin.
The Zoo is teaming with 20 babies those are born just during last one month. One would feel as if the entire Zoo is turned in to a maternity ward. Nandankanan Zoo has the rare distinction of successful rearing and captive breeding of highly threatened species like Indian Pangolin (Manis crassicaudata ).
During current financial year there have been two births one of them was born just yesterday! These are the testament of a progressive Zoo. Reproductive health is a good indicator of the overall status of health of a species in captivity.
Nandankanan promotes itself as an institution that can be utilized in every possible way to benefit the conservation of species in the wild. To achieve sustainable ex-situ conservation objectives, emphasis is laid on, animal welfare, health care, ethical standards and excellence in standards of animal husbandry with emphasis on enclosure enrichments.
Till first week of March there have been 144 births during current financial year. Out of which there have been 72 mammals, 58 Birds and 12 Reptiles. The children are enjoying the most the charming babies moving with the proud mothers.
Breakthrough in health care front
Another distinct achievement in the health care front during this financial year has been the record low rate of mortality.
Till the 1st Week of March 2008 there have been only 57 deaths which have been the lowest in the history of the Nandankanan as can be visualized from the following table.
This is works out to less than 5% and is one of the lowest rate of mortality in any Indian Zoo.
Year Death of animals and birds
2004-05 90
2005-06 90
2006-07 70
(Till 5th March 2008) 57
To achieve this health care of the captive animals and birds have been given utmost priority during the current year. To provide the best health care to the captive species three veterinary surgeons look after the day to day health status of the animals.
There is a well equipped zoo hospital with adequate infrastructures necessary to monitor and provide best possible health care to the captive animals. Health monitoring is carried out on daily basis .Periodic vaccination and de-worming protocols are followed meticulously.
Care is taken to protect the animals from the extreme weather conditions. Special winter and summer arrangements are made to protect the animals. Five members "Technical Committee" constituted by Government of Orissa regularly monitor and review the health care and related matters.
The committee meets at regular interval to take stock of the situation. A close liaison is maintained with the Orissa Veterinary College(OVC) and the services of "Health Committee" from OVC is requisitioned in case of emergency.
The services of " Centre of Wildlife Health" functioning from Orissa Veterinary College, Bhubaneswar is also availed. The equipment and the infrastructure of the CWH of OVC are use almost in a captive manner by the Zoo.
For spread of the communicable diseases from the adjoining villages ring vaccination to the cattle population is carried out in collaboration with the State Veterinary Department.
To develop a protocol for the management of the ecto and endo parasite a collaborative research project with OVC with the funding support of the CZA is being carried out.
As there is no rescue center for wild animal exist in the state so the rearing of the rescued and orphaned young ones are shouldered by the zoo. A number of rescued and injured animals are provide necessary health care and are rehabilitated.
Quality feed is key to the sound health of the captive animal in a zoo. To achieve this a captive slaughter house is made operational in the zoo to provide quality and fresh meat to the carnivores with proper ante and post mortem scanning of the animals slaughtered daily by the zoo doctors with effect from August 2007.
Nandankanan is the first zoo in India to set up the captive slaughter house. In addition to this to provide quality fodder to the herbivores a captive fodder firm is developed to achieve 100% self sufficiency.
Fodder crop is grown here seasonally keeping in mind the nutritional requirements of the herbivores. All the feeds procured are meticulously screened and disinfected before they are supplied to the captive animals and birds.

Washington DC (SPX) Sep 05, 2013
The Wallow Fire burned over 500,000 acres, making it the largest fire in Arizona history, to date. It is one of many large fires that fire managers and researchers have seen scorch forests nationwide since the early 2000s.
"We have entered a new era where we're definitely seeing higher fire activity," said Philip Dennison, a geographer at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. With busy fire seasons, scientists and fire managers are interested in how and why fire frequency, severity and duration changes over time.
To help investigate these trends, the U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Geological Survey are using Landsat data to quantify every large fire in the United States since 1984 and map each fire's severity and effect on the land. The project, called the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity project, or MTBS, provides long-term burn severity maps and data to help researchers understand fire trends in the United States.
The valuable burn severity data can inform fire management policies and improve the management of resources, said Brad Quayle, a program leader at the USDA Forest Service Remote Sensing Applications Center, or RSAC, in Salt Lake City. Researchers like Dennison also use the data to investigate how and why fire behavior changes over the years. But getting the big picture takes a lot of data over many years, which is why the 27-year MTBS data record relies on data from NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey's Landsat program.
Landsat is the longest running Earth-observing satellite program. The data record goes back more than 40 years, collected by a series of satellites that observe land cover at comparable resolution and with the quality necessary for long-term research. Currently Landsat satellites 7 and 8 are in operation.
The MTBS project team creates fire maps from Landsat imagery by analyzing the vegetation in the burned area. The project is a collaboration between RSAC and the USGS Earth Resource Observation and Science Center, or EROS, located in Sioux Falls, S.D. So far, the two organizations have mapped over 16,000 fires from 1984 to 2011 and will soon process data from the recently launched and operational Landsat 8 for the MTBS project.
"It's very important for us to maintain the continuity of having the spectral bands that have been there since day one, particularly the near infrared and short wave infrared bands," said Quayle.
The sensors aboard the Landsat satellites measure different spectral wavelengths, or bands, of light reflected or emitted from Earth surface features. Many of the bands are outside of the range of wavelengths that humans can see, including the near infrared and shortwave infrared wavelengths. Data from these two wavelength regions are used to assess burn severity. Healthy green vegetation reflects near infrared light strongly.
Bare ground and soil are dark in the near-infrared, and bare burned areas tend to be relatively bright in the short-wave infrared. Using the data from both bands, researchers can establish how badly a fire has affected a forest, shrubland or other types of wildland vegetation.
To create the burn severity maps, Quayle and his colleagues first look into various databases for fires larger than 1,000 acres in the western United States and 500 acres in the eastern US. Fires of these sizes typically account for the vast majority of the area burned on an annual basis. Next, they find a pre-fire Landsat image and a post-fire Landsat image for each fire.
To get an accurate picture of how much vegetation was damaged by the fire, the post-fire image is usually acquired one year after the fire occurred and during the peak of growing season.
Looking at the near and short-wave infrared data on chosen Landsat images, MTBS analysts calculate the Normalized Burn Ratio for each image -- a numerical measurement of how much vegetation remains. The Normalized Burn Ratio helps researchers make "apples-to-apples" comparisons of fire severity in the images.
Analysts then subtract the post-fire normalized burn ratio from the pre-fire normalized burn ratio to assess the magnitude of change in vegetation. The calculation is similar to measuring a child's height at age three and four and only recording the difference.
The difference in vegetation condition is mapped and color-coded to show the impact of the fires. Green to yellow indicate a low to moderate severity that destroyed relatively less vegetation than red areas, where the fire may have consumed nearly all of the vegetation and left the ground bare. The burn severity map along with the pre- and post-fire Landsat images are available on the MTBS website.
"The big advantage to MTBS is that it maps all large fires on all U.S. lands. It captures public lands and private lands," said Dennison. "That's really nice to have as a researcher because it makes your analysis much more comprehensive."
Dennison and his team at the University of Utah regularly use the burn severity data to research overall trends of fires over the decades. He records the number of fires, total area burned each year, the size of the largest fires and when the earliest fires are occurring to see if the fire seasons are shifting earlier or later in the year.
He has analyzed over 6,000 fires using the MTBS data and has observed that fires larger than 1,000 acres are increasing by the rate of about six fires per year in the western United States. He is currently investigating possible causes of the increased fire activity.
The data also has more immediate uses by fire management teams. Eric Gdula is a fire geographic information system specialist for the National Park Service, working at Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona.
The Park Service manages both lightning-caused fires as well as controlled fires ignited to improve ecosystem health. In certain areas, fire helps restart forest life by dispersing seeds and clearing out undergrowth so new trees can flourish. After a prescribed fire or a wildfire, Gdula uses the burn severity maps to evaluate the overall effects of the fire on the forest ecosystem and to estimate how much fuel or vegetation has burned.
Before burn severity maps from the MTBS project, fire calculations and observations were much harder to make. Researchers often gathered data from field or aerial surveys- literally someone looking out over a ridge or in a helicopter and marking areas on topographic maps.
Gdula noted that some of his observations would be near impossible to make without the Landsat-derived burn severity maps in MTBS. With Landsat 8, MTBS data continuity will continue for at least the duration of operational Landsat satellites.
"The sheer extensiveness of the data set, having that calibrated data, reaching back in the past and also ensuring that we have the data source well into the future so we can continue this exercise, is an outstanding benefit to resource management provided by Landsat," said Quayle.

The dragon is planning to land its spacecraft to orbit Mars by 2020. However, its ambitions are not limited to just reaching the planet and a landing and rover deployment are also in plans. Commenting on the difficulties they encountered, Zhang Rongqiao, chief architect of the Mars mission said that the difficulties encountered during the project were "Unprecedented".
The very nature of the mission means that no exact schedule has been laid out yet, however, we may be looking at a July or August schedule. The probe and the rover is likely to be launched on a Long March-5 carrier rocket from the Wenchang space launch center in south China's Hainan province.
[dfads params='groups=-1']
The journey between the planets is expected to take around 7 months. The probe will then touch down in a low latitude area in the northern hemisphere of Mars following which, the rover will explore the surface and perhaps collect and analyze samples. The rover will also come equipped with solar panels that will let it explore the planet for a period of up to three months.
Also part of the voyage will be a total of 13 payloads. These will include a remote sensing camera and a ground penetrating radar, making analysis and collection of samples almost a certainty. Meanwhile, the devices could be used to study the soil, environment, and atmosphere of Mars. The rover itself weighs in at around 200 Kgs, which may be one of the reasons behind the "unprecedented" part. After all, carting that much weight to Mars, situated at a distance of around 228 million miles from the Sun, is no mean feat.
Meanwhile, China is moving along upon its path to conquer space. The country recently launched a supremely interesting quantum-enabled satellite that will enable it to test communications technology. The attempt is likely to make China the third country in the world to land a probe on Mars. Although US is the only country to make a successful landing on the red planet, however, a joint European-Russian mission is already on its way and may well land on Mars before that.
Well, let's keep our fingers crossed for some water this time!

More than anyone else, I feel sorry for the developers of Siege, who have made the game of their careers. It is an absolute peach, but while they're firefighting so many issues there's no time to look at long-term refinements for balance and maps. It's like Ubisoft's management doesn't comprehend just how good Siege is or how much its potential is harmed by Ubisoft's servers and uPlay.Perhaps Siege is seen internally as potential sequel material, Ubisoft's own Call of Duty cookie-cutter, rather than a platform to be grown over time. That would be so short-sighted—and such a waste of potential—that it has to be called mismanagement. Siege's quality is so high in parts that the game could become a serious e-sports platform and, given time, might even surpass the mighty Counter-Strike.Puedes conseguirlo todo - desde los skins más baratos de un par de céntimos a artículos de colección, como Dragon Lore y Bayonet Fade. Como siempre, puedes contar con varias ventas impresionantes y los mejores precios en el mercado.There is a reason CS:GO is one of the most streamed games on Twitch and Youtube and one of the highest paying esports newt to Dota and LoL (League of Legends). The reason is simple… It's REALLY FUN! If you love FPSs, there is no reason not to pick up this great title.The fourth installment in the Counter-Strike franchise, according to IGN, has climbed all the way to the top of Steam's most-played game. Last October 20th over 10.7 million players were logged into steam concurrently playing games offered by the service. While the record for steam surpasses the 10 million record hit last June, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive turned out to be the most played steam title. It was followed by two Steam's free-to-play games Dota 2 and Team Fortress.
Slayer said that Zero's $1.25 million a year was a little inflated, but that I could come up with a rough estimate of Ultra Cheats' annual revenue by gauging the size of the community. On March 20, over 2,500 members logged into the Ultra Cheats' forums, almost all of whom are plainly listed as paying for standard or more expensive cheat packages. At an average of $10 per user a month, Ultra Cheats makes $300,000 a year. Add to this the fact that the forum has almost 150,000 members overall (though we don't know how many are active, paying users), the Brazil site, and resellers, and it's not hard to imagine Ultra Cheats breaking a million dollars a year. Slayer declined to share the exact number of their active users.Who wants this, though? Plenty of people apparently: according to Betabrand the above jacket has racked up over 11,000 votes. And it doesn't stop at jackets. Blouses, short sleeve shirts, athletic tees and chicken dresses are also available, and they're all surprisingly tasteful too. Much better than the boxshot-on-a-cheap-black-shirt fare we're used to around these parts, but then, I'm no authority on fashion so you can be the judge.Valve's latest update for CS:GO introduces redesigned arm, hands and glove models for all characters. These changes are however visible in first person mode only."Everything was very rushed and we only needed him to play 2 matches," 'espgodson' writes in a Reddit thread. "Anyways, just wanted to come on here to say that none of us had any idea he was cheating and absolutely no one on our team would ever intentionally do something like that."
They also note that they have reported this and another download located on Dropbox to Dropbox as being malware."In terms of how many physical weapons there are, the amount is less than in a Souls game," he confirmed, "But that's to some extent a decision made due to the game design.DreamHack Summer 2015 CS:GO Championship ran from 13-15 June in J?nk?ping, Sweden. The tournament featured total of eight teams, two of which coming from the local BYOC qualifier, and prize purse of $40,000 USD.While OPSkins is totally independant from Steam's Community Market, the men say that Valve hasn't given them any trouble. "We had talks with Valve," said Brechisci. "They shut us down once. They investigated what we were doing and then they turned us back on and said we were good to go." In fact, their business is doing so well that OPSkins says it now employs 20 staff members, spread across the US, Canada and Europe.
Moreover, this is a reminder that users should not immediately trust third-party tools, especially if these are rolled out by third-party distributors or marketplaces, appear too-good-to-be-true and are free of charge.For the first time in series history, weapon skins provided a means for players to individualize themselves beyond just their control mannerisms. Ostentatious players could equip themselves with one of a number of colorful skins, while classy players opted for more realistic configurations. Those who hated the idea altogether could run with the defaults to showcase their unwillingness to assimilate. Although the AK-47 and M4 would continue their dominant usage among players, everyone's loadout would appear a little different thanks to the skins.The website, csgoshuffle-trade[DOT]com, is a fake domain for CSGO Shuffle, "a popular betting site for streamers and players of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) to trade item skins. The site is designed to look like Steam's trading window. Malware is on this site, but it is not downloaded automatically; it is triggered by interacting with the page in much the same way Steam users might interact with a trading window.When users tick the "Confirm trade contents" blue bar on the site and confirm that they are "ready for trade," it enables the "Accept Trade" button at the bottom of the page. Once users click this button, a "Trade Offer Accept" window pops up, telling them that their item has been submitted to the store, but by running a new "Escrow" application they won't have to wait three days for the transaction to be completed. Clicking "Okay" sends them to a Dropbox page that contains a download for "Escrow.exe." Naturally this file is malware. Malwarebytes detects this file as containing "Backdoor.NanoCore."
"By design, the Items Workshop has very low friction for artists to submit their work – new contributions do not require Valve review or approval. To ensure that these contributions represent original content, we require that all Workshop contributors sign a legal agreement confirming that their contributions are original. We also enable the community to monitor Workshop submissions and identify copies and plagiarism via the report flag." Valve aren't messing around with their response, which contains some heavy punishments for the IP infringing item-makers:Newell explained that there are paid cheat providers that confirm players paid for their product by requiring them to check in with a digital rights management (DRM) server, similar to the way Steam itself has to check in with a server at least once every two weeks. For a limited time, VAC was looking for a partial match to those (non-web) cheat DRM servers in users' DNS cache. Bohemia Interactive ( Arma , DayZ ) believes that only 1 percent of online players are willing to spend money to cheat on top of an already expensive hobby. Even by that estimate, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive alone had a potential 25,000 cheaters out of a total of 2.5 million unique players last month. Put on your green accountant visor, add up the player-bases of all the other popular multiplayer games cheat providers are servicing ( Call of Duty , Battlefield , Rising Storm ), and you'll see a massively profitable market.Auch ohne Kauf des DLCs erhalten alle Spieler Zugriff auf sieben neue Community-Karten. Einziger Wermutstropfen für diejenigen, die nicht zahlen m?chten: Ohne den kostenpflichtigen Wildfire-Pass sind die Maps nicht auf den offiziellen Servern spielbar. Eine übersicht aller neuen Karten finden Sie etwas weiter unten in der Galerie.Skins sind die beste M?glichkeit, um dem Spiel CS:GO eine individuelle Note zu verleihen und das Benutzerprofil an die eigenen stilistischen Vorlieben anzupassen! Durch atemberaubende Designs für jede im Spiel ausw?hlbare Waffe ist das Gameplay nun fest in eurer Hand.

My next dealer admits that he perhaps goes a little overboard with his CS:GO trading. When you buy a "key" to open a weapons case in Global Offensive, you're presented with a spinning gambling dial, which flicks around until it eventually lands on your winning weapon.Since then, his CS:GO trading has involved finding expensive weapons in cases, trading them for more and more expensive weapons with other users, and then plugging all that money back into more cases.ʏһҳúm4a4 skin

hiya C
sadly there is more often than not lots of cloud at night here, but i go outside to look as often as i can because it can come and go quickly, at which times, one can get glimpses of the moon and stars and things
i love the clear nights, and spend a lot of time admiring the heavens when it is clear
atm i can see the moon, with a pretty pink glow tonight,
it is not quite smiling or horizontal but somewhere inbetween
and wow did we have super red skies tonight as it got dark, very spectacular to see, so unreal, so red
the milky way, when visible is a glorious sight to behold and looks so very close these days...but it is quite a while since i could see it clearly enough to make out all the stars, maybe tonight i may get lucky in this respect
yep, i agree it is going to be a very interesting christmas to say the least...
i understand your reasons regarding the music, my dear brother xxx
Beautiful, but red did you say? I'm not sure the last time if ever I saw a night sky that was red. I think others have also dreamt of a red sky, and so have I. But not since I was a kid, but there was a Great War on the distance, far beyond my horizon, but thing were coming down from the sky, either spaceships or military planes I can't say which, in conjunction with a most accurate timer, a countdown timer!--all the while the sky and all my view got Redder and Redder.
Now this is when I was a kid, and I think we have some of our Best dreams as kids, when we are still closer to our source of Origin.
And you're right on the money about Xmas. We want our Doom, but please not until after Xmas!
Anonymous Coward 28058149
oh my, you would love our spectacular red and pink skies
they seem to be the norm now, although the intensity can vary from month to month, but tonight the red was so deep and exquisite, i wish you had been here to enjoy it with us
its kind of like the whole lower half of the sky is red, (or sometimes peach/pink) ie a wide band of the red colour, with the usual 'misty' blue haze above it, real pretty effect, its unreal to behold
it isnt just in the west, where the sun has set, but its in all directions if you know what i mean
the clouds are a bright and dark irredescent orange/peach colour, right until it gets dark
our sunrises have the same red/pink glow to them
wow, you dreamed about this when you were young, how very cool
Please verify you're human:

New Webcast: Bridging gaps with wireless
There's still much to discuss on the topic of using wireless effectively in process plants.
Another Webcast on wireless? With all that's been said, is there anything else left to discuss? The answer is yes, and you can now hear it on demand. ( Download the complete Webcast .)
The intent of this webcast was to move away from the basics of wireless instrumentation and talk about the larger wireless infrastructure and what it can do in a process manufacturing environment. You won't hear another discussion on, "Here's how meshed instruments talk to each other."
Yes, we talk about applications where wireless instruments are used, but in the context of getting that data back to a control system. The discussion centers more on, "Here's how we move information and tie the whole network together."
With participants from Honeywell , Apprion , Emerson , Cisco , and ProSoft , you will hear some statements that do not always agree. What exactly is an "open system" anyway? You'll ultimately have to decide some of those things for yourself.

Description: When Blinking Jack Stokes met Ruby Pitt Woodrow, she was twenty and he was forty. She was the carefully raised daughter of Carolina gentry and he was a skinny tenant farmer who had never owned anything in his life. She was newly widowed after a disastrous marriage to a brutal drifter. He had never asked a woman to do more than help him hitch a mule. They didn't fall in love so much as they simply found each other and held on for dear life. Kaye Gibbons's first novel,Ellen Foster, won the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters and the praise of writers from Walker Percy to Eudora Welty. InA Virtuous Woman, Gibbons transcends her early promise, creating a multilayered and indelibly convincing portrait of two seemingly ill-matched people who somehow miraculously make a marriage.

Kaye Gibbons was born on May 5, 1960 in Nash County, North Carolina. She received a bachelor's degree in American literature from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her first novel, Ellen Foster, was published in 1987. It won the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, was chosen as one of Oprah's Book Club Selections, and was adapted into a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie.
