I am planning to tell you a really short story about one of my lifetime experiences.
Nepal…what a magical country! Its people, nature, atmosphere, spirit and thousands things that I can not count one by one…
In 2014, in the end of summer I mean, in the end of harvest, I flew to Kathmandu from Delhi thourh Diwali. It did not last more than an hour and half. When I arrived to airport it was pretty easy to get the visa at the airport. The airport wasn't the similar to what we used to see. Compared to a capital city, the airport was pretty small but at the same time it was giving me an idea about the place where I was going to be.
After spending approx. 30 min to get the visa, I was ready to see the amazing temples, beautiful nature, gorgeous mountains, colorful streets and warm people.
As I was thinking, the capital, Kathmandu was a really modest place and it was pretty active.
Before I arrived to Kathmandu I was searching some information about accommodation but I realized that the best option to get to know people and culture was staying with locals. So did I.
I found a Tibetan girl who was living in Kathmandu to host me for a while. As I said before Kathmandu was a magical place where you can make new friends easily even while you are staying in a local's house. When I reached the house I have met really nice people. There was another person from Taiwan staying in that house.
We talked a bit about our adventures then suddenly decided to have a walk together. One of the most joyful moments of my life has started.
We just got out of the house, as two foreigners, to each other, by our languages. We went to "Pashupatinath Temple" where the Buddhists burn the dead buddies. You must pay a little amount of money to enter. That temple was a bit scary at the beginning because we both keep our distances to that kind of ceremonies.
While you can watch the burning ceremony and smelling human meat next to Bagmati River, you can climb the stairs to see the panorama of the temple and river. As I heard the temple was one of the most important Buddhist temple.
This is quite a rule in Nepal, you can talk to anyone, and it doesn't matter if you know each other or not. You can just start talking or asking something then in 2 min. you might be even having lunch or milk tea with that person.
After watching the burning ceremonies, the dead people's faces and hearing laments of the relatives of the dead people, we decided to have lunch and go to "Thamel", a touristic center of Kathmandu. Thamel is quite crowded and a chaotic place where you can find whatever you need or you might need: souvenirs, climbing stuffs, restaurants, cafes and so on.
However do not expect an amazingly rich place, even Kathmandu is a capital, still the poorness is showing itself in every corner. The streets are mostly not covered with asphalt. You might see street foods and cook chiefs, souvenir sellers in almost every streets. Because of air pollution, people are generally using masks to save themselves.
Also, the traffic is kinda chaotic as rikshas (type of bikes to carry people) and motorbikes are everywhere. Number of the vehicles in traffic is pretty high. You might see little children while motorcycling as a normal activity. Of course the noise of horns and the motors of vehicles can make you feel a bit shock if you are not used to the noisiness.
Even in that case of poorness and chaos, you can notice that people are not complaining, fighting or exaggerating their conditions. These were the first things I realized before the crowd and the noise. There are plenty of temples in the center and sometimes you might see really small temples in a corner or in trunk.
Also, once you are in Thamel, it is not difficult to find a place to have lunch or to take a rest in that tiring air and crowd.
We walked on the streets all day long and talked with the sellers, met people, got surprised about architecture of temples and palaces and thinking about friendly and cheerful people. While I was bargaining to buy something, a guy heard that I wanted to keep something from his country he just gave me a wristband as a memory. How thoughtful!
Still in Thamel, the other thing you would notice might be the Chinese people's percentage. I guess 90% of the tourists were Chinese. Therefore, some people (let's be honest: mostly people) were greeting me with "nihao" which means "hello" in Chinese. I wanted people to know my country where I came from to visit their so I was repeating: "I am from Turkey" every 5 min. It worked after a day; they remembered where I was coming from.
The other thing you must know about Nepal is the bargain. Nepal is seriously a cheap country. 1€ was almost 100 Nepalese rupii and with that money you can have breakfast. You can buy a t- shirt for 300 rupiis, a keyring for 50 rupiis or a flag for free if you are good at bargaining and leave a nice impression. When you hear the price you will definitely think about your currency and you will decide how cheap it is but you have to know that the first price always can get down. Do not think about your currency!
On the evening, if you like to eat Chinese, Tibetan, Nepalese or Indian, you will not have any problems. There are thousands of restaurants.
A day after we went to "Boudhnath Temple" that is in Unesco World Heritage List and also it has the biggest Buddha dome. İt is a colorful and spiritual place to see Buddhists worshipping and to watch the colorful flags. İt is also kinda a square where you can have tea, lunch or dinner but you must pay to enter, around 250 rupiis.
In that square there is a temple where you can go in and see the monks, their worships, also the people who are praying and lighting candles. On the square it's normal to hear songs singing by random people to save some money and to have fun.
I retain that those restaurants have a good view as Buddha's eyes but also they are pretty expensive compared to other restaurants in Thamel. You can reach that town from the temple with public bus that costs only 5 rupiis. When you calculate, it looks cheaper to have food in Thamel.
After visiting that place we went to Thamel again to have some food. When we arrive there, we noticed that the people who we talked a day before still remember us. When they saw us walking on the street, they invited to have milk tea and to chat together. This can make you feel a bit weird but it is just their nature. Nepalese people are quite hospitable and friendly to invite the people even they know since a day.
After eating curry and some chapaties we decided to go to "Basantapur Durbar Square" where is full of temples and palaces with red decorated stuff. That square is in Unesco World Cultural Heritage list. You need to pay again, around 700 rupiis, to visit that square. In that place, the king was gathering the public and making festivals, as I heard. Therefore, it is still crowded and full of people (also pigeons). You can visit several temples and palaces in that square; have some friends only by sitting in a crowded place.
Again I am telling and I will always keep telling you that Nepal is a magical place to visit, for the people, the places, for its culture and for learning how to be friendly and how to give without expectation of getting back something else.
Apart from the places where I visited in Kathmandu, I gained a Taiwanese friend who I travelled for 5 days and even hitchhiked to go out of Kathmandu and had really memorable moments, a British friend who I drank "Israeli coffee" with and Israeli boy on a roof of a hostel in middle of Thamel while watching a rainbow and city view. Who can deny that Kathmandu is a place where you never become or stay alone? If you want to travel somewhere alone or with somebody, Nepal is the best option to start. Once you are there then all people who live in over there have potential to become your friend.

A BULAWAYO woman has been arrested after she allegedly kidnapped a three year-old baby and held her over a $900 debt owed to her by the child's mother, Chronicle reported.
Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Precious Simango confirmed the incident which happened on Tuesday afternoon in Magwegwe North.
She said the woman who allegedly abducted the baby has since been arrested.
"Moreblessing Tshuma (29) took Getrude Phizipa's child after she failed to pay back $900," said Insp Simango adding that Tshuma is being charged with kidnapping.
It could not be established yesterday whether or not the baby had been reunited with the mother.
Lance Mpofu, of Magwegwe North said the incident had left the community in shock.
He said people were horrified that someone could go to the extent of kidnapping an innocent child over its mother's debt
"The child is innocent, why would someone kidnap a toddler?" said Mr Mpofu.
Residents said kidnapping cases in the suburb were becoming a matter of concern.
"We are worried about these kidnaps, it's no longer safe for our kids to play outside the yard," said a woman who identified herself only as Mrs S Mathe.
On Tuesday, two Grade 5 pupils from Mhali Primary School in the same suburb were kidnapped by a man believed to be mentally-disturbed.
The man, Brain Mademutse, was apprehended by members of the public who beat him up, before handing him over to the police.
Mademutse was allegedly intercepted as he led the girls, whose parents are abroad, towards a bushy area.
An alert resident got suspicious when he saw Mademutse leading the pupils away from the school.
He then followed Mademutse and asked him where he was taking the children to.
Mademutse responded saying he was a cop and was taking them to the police station for truancy.
However, the station happens to be in the opposite direction to where he was going. He was promptly apprehended.

Hello loyal BTP fan. What follows is an individual "pitch" I made a while back for the Lifetime of Awesome Eldar army. Naturally, if you are interested in being my patron, we can adjust the details.
Our Highest LevelAt BTP we offer six levels of painting from Level 2 (L2) to Level 7 (L7). The highest is display quality.
The ListI have first created a 5000 point list. I can modify or expand this based on your personal preferences and what kind of games you play (e.g., Apocalypse).
1x Farseer on jetbike
2x Spirit Seers (need to use the Iyanden list here)
10x Fire Dragons (in Wave Serpent)
27x Jetbikes
10x Wraithguard (in two Wave Serpents)
20x Swooping Hawks
12x Shadow Spectres (including the Phoenix Lord and an Exarch)
3x War Walkers
2x Wraithknights
1x Revenant Titan
If you play open games like Apocalypse, then that might call for some adjustment in the list i.e. adding more cool things. I would for example drop the Hawks to twelve total and adding a Warp Hunter from Forge World.
All costs here are comprehensive. It includes the models, assembly, conversions, magnetization, and painting.
The Project of a Lifetime
Six years ago I thought to myself if I were to die soon, what would be my final army, my pièce de résistance that is the best thing I could think of. For this I would do all the things already described but also create a series of Eldar vanes, fluted, repeating and Geiger-esque arrays (sweeping off the backs of vehicles and walkers) that are made from clear resin so parts of the vehicles are translucent like glass, as if fading into existence. This is something that I have never seen before in this context. This fades out from the regular painting in a smooth fashion from solid to clear. Adding in LED lights interiorly would further make this a head turner.
I have included several pics that are a good baseline for what I am thinking, except brighter with a better contrast.
I would want a broad budget of at least $58,000 to do this project. Naturally, I would expand the army list, adding the coolest and most inspirational items from the Eldar range. A Phantom Titan is a must here. I would take a personal interest in the army, give you direct communication with artists and myself and also pull my top artists to work on it and nothing else.
Notes and Conversions
2) Vehicles should have a full suite of magnetized weapon options.
3) I have played a very similar army list and taken on some tough customers and had a blast with such a maneuverable list.
4) All wave serpents are quoted as a Fire Prism kit with the Wave Serpent weapons in the two slots. This variant looks extremely handsome with a turret rather than the skimpy wave serpent top-mount.
5) I have included a budget in each case for conversion work, modifications, and extras (such as Forge World upgrades and specialty bases).
Other Versions
There are less expensive versions of this army. Each one may tone down on the custom parts, LEDs, magnetization and painting level.
I would need a budget of $29,000. The lion's share of this is for the incredible detail of painting. I have attached a few guide pictures here, just some things that I have encountered as top Eldar painting.L6.
The total budget needed for the army is $12,000. Notably less.
L4Just by comparison, the same project done at the higher of our two base levels (L4) would be $7,000. Here are some L4 Eldar
Turnaround time will be six months.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to working on something fun, creative and notable for the field of miniatures painting.
Here are some pics! These are not BTP's work by the way.

Blundering Tory Ken Clarke sparked fury after telling flood victims to stop griping about their misery.
The Cabinet minister arrogantly dismissed the plight of those left with ruined homes and businesses amid the chaos of the wettest January for more than a century.
Mr Clarke spoke as large parts of Somerset were still underwater and Britain was bracing itself for more rain, gales and snow.
The MP, whose party has slashed flood defences by almost £100million, told BBC's Question Time: "This is the winter, it is wet, it has rained.
"I do think the furore about Somerset, who's to blame, somebody's got to be summoned, the lynch mob stuff is irrelevant to the people there and it should be addressed sensibly."
Shadow Environment Secretary Maria Eagle hit back and said: "Describing families suffering from some of the worst flooding in years as being part of a lynch mob shows just how out of touch Ken Clarke is.
"People affected by floods want solutions from Government ministers, not abuse."
As the misery continued for thousands of householders, the Environment Agency issued six severe flood warnings – involving a danger to life – in the South West.
Another 108 flood warnings were in force mostly in the West Country and Wales and 223 flood alerts were in place mainly in the South East as more rain sweeps in.
Large parts of the country will be battered by 60mph winds.
High spring tides are also likely to cause more seaside flooding in the South West and Wales.
Zero-degree temperatures overnight could make roads icy and treacherous today.
Up to four inches of snow may fall on high ground in Western Scotland.
Nicky Maxey, of the Met Office, said: "We have snow, ice, wind and rain depending on where you are in the land."
Prince Charles is to visit the Somerset Levels, which have been hammered by the floods.
Police said 62 pumps are draining the equivalent of 600 Olympic swimming pools of water – 1.5 million tonnes – from the area each day.
No10 last night insisted it had full confidence in Environment Secretary Owen Paterson, who has come under fire for failing to help villagers affected by the deluges.
The Government sent in the Army to help but not until a week after the county council declared an emergency.
But Labour's Emily Thornberry said: "The Army arrive and then go home. This is policy making by photo opportunity."

On our fishing trip at Clinton Ct in the Long Island Sound, Emily was the first to catch a fish.
Rachel catches one here while Nancy looks on with envy.
Captain Captain Mike just happened to have the largest catch of the day with this porgy.
Here are my nieces and nephews Carter, Michael, Alyssa and Brianna soaking up the sun at Lake Compunce in Connecticut.
Grandpa Conners gets in on the action as he reels in his catch.
mily and Rachel are with their cousins Mike and Alyssa at Lake Compounce in CT. Aunt Nancy and Uncle Jared treated them all to the tickets for a fun day at the park.
Boy Emily sure looks HAPPY in this picture...that's because she is behind the wheel of her very own car. She passed her road test this year and bought herself a car. We haven't seen much of her since.

Here is my version of a pen box. I stole a few ideas such as the feet from another project that was posted somewhere on the forum, but sorry I can't find it now. The other project had a cover that opened 90 degrees. I like the idea, but I wanted a cleaner shape outside, so my box opens flat. You can of course easily personalize these projects with a name and an optional inscription on the inside.
I made two versions. The project with the textured top was too big to upload whole, so I deleted the bottom to get it to fit forum limitations. You'll need to cut and paste from one project to the other to make it whole.
If you build this project, here a a few suggestions:
The hinges are readily available from Ace Hardware. After carving the project, remove top and bottom and trim the tabs. Lay top and bottom side by side, top upside down, with the hinge recesses touching one another, and top and bottom butting each other. Carefully install the hinges, making sure that the center line of each hinge lines up exactly with the edges of top and bottom. Now close the box, and use a sanding block to sand the front and sides of the box, top and bottom at the same time. This will ensure an exact fit. The design is such that even if you were off a little when installing the hinges, you can compensate with sanding and no one will know. Then, remove the hinges, and realign top and bottom. It may help maintain alignment to tape the front and side edges with masking tape. Now you can again use the sanding block to finish the back edges top and bottom.
I found a quality Cross pen and pencil set on Amazon for less than $20, and got two sets to qualify for free shipping.
The patterns were made with Paint.net using techniques similar to what I described here:

Deep Tissue Massage
Is massage therapy similar to Swedish massage with a key difference
Deeper pressure is used and is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints.
It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness and sore shoulders.

According to suggested best practice on email creative there are set standards which many in the industry claim will determine the success of an email campaign. For the majority of emails this holds true. However sometimes it can be more effective to break away from the norm and try a more creative tact. The beauty of email is that you can always try out new ideas with split testing to see what really works for your audience before jumping in at the deep end.
Here are a couple of examples from my inbox, which help to demonstrate my point.
If you search in Google for 'email subject lines best practices' it comes back with a possible 19,100,000 results, which illustrates just how much information is out there on this topic! 'Limit your subject line to 50 – 70 characters', 'keep it short and sweet' and include your 'company name' in the subject line. These are all probably suggestions you've come across before. But with this 'Martin's Money Tips' email all this advice goes totally out the window! They've gone for the longest subject line in history, but it works for me because it tells me everything I need to know. The subject line is loaded with the most important information on all the offers and deals you need to be aware of and suits the style of the email itself. It's not trying to be clever but still manages to prompt me to take action and open the email. However, I'd only suggest using longer subject lines when there is a compelling reason to do so but in this example there obviously is!
In the competitive fashion industry image is everything and this literally holds true for this Karen Millen email, which emphasises images over copy in a big way. To a certain degree, this goes against the traditional best practice advice that using lots of images should not be done because of image blocking issues. However, these days there are numerous steps you can take to avoid image blocking, such as always including an 'add to address book' link, preferably in the pre-header as this will ensure all images are directly shown to subscribers and incorporating a 'view a web version' of the email as well.
Another email marketing best practice principle is that you should keep the length of your email relatively short. However, keeping it 'above the fold' isn't something ASOS seem to be interested in as this email is looong (click on the image to see the full length version)! But do they need to? This email includes relevant calls to action and imagery that really would appeal to the fashion conscious.
So what works best for your campaigns? Shorter or longer emails? Images vs. text based? Testing is the only way to uncover the true revenue potential of your email campaigns. Best practice is there as a guide but there are no universal rules. I'd recommend you test and alter your campaigns based on responses rather than what worked for someone else. Be proactive and don't stop testing!

Hey Everyone!
I have been using Coastal Scent 28 neutral palette since long and I was surprised to know that I haven't reviewed it ever. When I use a particular product for months, I kind of get so engrossed with it that idea of review takes a back seat. I think I am quite late in reviewing it but I know this palette can never get out of the market especially for the neutral eye makeup lovers.
If you are new to this palette then follow me 🙂
About Coastal Scents 28 Neutral Palette:-
Our 28 Neutral Palette is ideal for creating a variety of looks from natural everyday to show stopping sultry. This palette contains twenty-eight highly pigmented shades ranging from sheer nudes to rich browns and everything in between that can be applied dry or wet for a longer lasting effect. The matte black case contains the Coastal Scents logo as well as the name of the palette for convenience.
- Price – $18.95
Dimensions :Palette:- 9″x 5.97″ x 0.41″ (22.9cm x 15.2cm x 1cm) Eye Shadow Pot Diameter : 1″ (2.5cm)
Net Weight: –Â 45.0g / 1.58oz
- Packaging – It comes in a sleek matte black packaging with no mirror in it. It has a  transparent film over it which protects the eye shadow which I have not shown in the picture below.
Shade , Texture & Pigmentation:-
There are eight shades in each row  in which around eight shadows can be used as a highlighter. Palette is famous for MAC dupes and I will talk about each one of them in detail in another post. There  are around eight brown colour shadows which is a treat for brown lovers. Rest of the eyeshadows are dark shades such as black, burgundy and darker neutrals browns too.
Palette consists of both matte and shimmery eyeshadows but they are not that powdery. A neutral eye makeup lover will enjoy pairing them with each other. Using the palette is lot of fun .
As far as pigmentation is concerned, few of the shades are really good but some of them are chalky. They might be similar to MAC in shade but one can not compare the texture of this one with that of MAC eye shadows.
Staying power is around 3 hours and with primer underneath it's around 4 hours.
Coastal Scents 28 Neutral Palette Swatches:-
You will notice that some of the shades are barely visible and for some the pigmentation is fab. Shades are powdery but definitely not chalky.
Here I am flaunting the palette although its just about  average palette 😛 lolz…Great for beginners and who are always hunting for MAC Dupe.
If you run out of a particular shade then you won't get the individual shade separately from coastal scents which is kind of a big drawback.
Still! If you are on a budget, this palette is a good choice – something which you will not get in your regular store.
Wise She Rating – 3.5/5
- Price Vs Quality – 4/5
- Pigmentation – 3.5/5
- Staying power – 3.5/5

A new meme is born with Alex Rodriguez pondering the World Series champion.
A-Rod Corp stock is through the roof right now and that means there's plenty of hard decisions to be made.
Alex Rodriguez is currently struggling to make his World Series pick and he definitely wants to get it right because Pete Rose and Frank Thomas won't let him here the end of it.
Pondering A-Rod is the newest sports meme and it's only getting started:

Sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Sports commonly refer to activities where the physical capabilities of the competitor are the sole or primary determinant of the outcome (winning or losing), but the term is also used to include activities such as mind sports (a common name for some card games and board games with little to no element of chance) and motor sports where mental acuity or equipment quality are major factors. Sport is commonly defined as an organized,
competitive and skillful physical activity requiring commitment and fair play. Some view sports as differing from games based on the fact that there are usually higher levels of organization and profit (not always monetary) involved in sports. Accurate records are kept and updated for most sports at the highest levels, while failures and accomplishments are widely announced in sport news.
The term sports is sometimes extended to encompass all competitive activities in which offense and defense are played, regardless of the level of physical activity. Both games of skill and motor sport exhibit many of the characteristics of physical sports, such as skill, sportsmanship, and at the highest levels, even professional sponsorship associated with physical sports.
Sports that are subjectively judged are distinct from other judged activities such as beauty pageants and bodybuilding shows, because in the former the activity performed is the primary focus of evaluation, rather than the physical attributes of the contestant as in the latter (although "presentation" or "presence" may also be judged in both activities).
Sports are most often played just for fun or for the simple fact that people need exercise to stay in good physical condition.
Although they do not always succeed, sports participants are expected to display good sportsmanship, standards of conduct such as being respectful of opponents and officials, and congratulating the winner when losing.
"Sport" comes from the old French desport meaning "leisure."
There are artifacts and structures that suggest that the Chinese engaged in sporting activities as early as 4000 BC.[1] Gymnastics appears to have been a popular sport in China's ancient past. Monuments to the Pharaohs indicate that a number of sports, including swimming and fishing, were well-developed and regulated several thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt.[2] Other Egyptian sports included javelin throwing, high jump, and wrestling. Ancient Persian sports such as the traditional Iranian martial art of Zourkhaneh had a close connection to the warfare skills.[3] Among other sports that originate in Persia are polo and jousting.
A wide range of sports were already established by the time of Ancient Greece and the military culture and the development of sports in Greece influenced one another considerably. Sports became such a prominent part of their culture that the Greeks created the Olympic Games, which in ancient times were held every four years in a small village in the Peloponnesus called Olympia.[4]
Sports have been increasingly organized and regulated from the time of the Ancient Olympics up to the present century. Industrialization has brought increased leisure time to the citizens of developed and developing countries, leading to more time for citizens to attend and follow spectator sports, greater participation in athletic activities, and increased accessibility. These trends continued with the advent of mass media and global communication. Professionalism became prevalent, further adding to the increase in sport's popularity, as sports fans began following the exploits of professional athletes through radio, television, and the internet—all while enjoying the exercise and competition associated with amateur participation in sports.
In the new millennium, new sports have been going further from the physical aspect to the mental or psychological aspect of competing. Electronic sports organizations are becoming more and more popular.
Activities where the outcome is determined by judgement over execution are considered performances, or competition.
Sportsmanship is an attitude that strives for fair play, courtesy toward teammates and opponents, ethical behaviour and integrity, and grace in victory or defeat.[5][6]
Sportsmanship expresses an aspiration or ethos that the activity will be enjoyed for its own sake. The well-known sentiment by sports journalist Grantland Rice, that it's "not that you won or lost but how you played the game," and the Modern Olympic creed expressed by its founder Pierre de Coubertin: "The most important thing . . . is not winning but taking part" are typical expressions of this sentiment.
Violence in sports involves crossing the line between fair competition and intentional aggressive violence. Athletes, coaches, fans, and parents sometimes unleash violent behaviour on people or property, in misguided shows of loyalty, dominance, anger, or celebration. Rioting or hooliganism are common and ongoing problems at national and international sporting contests.
The entertainment aspect of sports, together with the spread of mass media and increased leisure time, has led to professionalism in sports. This has resulted in some conflict, where the paycheck can be seen as more important than recreational aspects, or where the sports are changed simply to make them more profitable and popular, thereby losing certain valued traditions.
The entertainment aspect also means that sportsmen and women are often elevated to celebrity status.
At times, sports and politics can have a large amount of influence on each other.
When apartheid was the official policy in South Africa, many sports people, particularly in rugby union, adopted the conscientious approach that they should not appear in competitive sports there. Some feel this was an effective contribution to the eventual demolition of the policy of apartheid, others feel that it may have prolonged and reinforced its worst effects.[7]
The 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin was an illustration, perhaps best recognised in retrospect, where an ideology was developing which used the event to strengthen its spread through propaganda.
In the history of Ireland, Gaelic sports were connected with cultural nationalism. Until the mid 20th century a person could have been banned from playing Gaelic football, hurling, or other sports administered by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) if she/he played or supported soccer, or other games seen to be of British origin. Until recently the GAA continued to ban the playing of soccer and rugby union at Gaelic venues. This ban is
be played in Croke Park while Lansdowne Road is being redeveloped. Until recently, under Rule 21, the GAA also banned members of the British security forces and members of the RUC from playing Gaelic games, but the advent of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 led to the eventual removal of the ban.
Nationalism is often evident in the pursuit of sports, or in its reporting: people compete in national teams, or commentators and audiences can adopt a partisan view. On occasion, such tensions can lead to violent confrontation among players or spectators within and beyond the sporting venue (see Football War). These trends are seen by many as contrary to the fundamental ethos of sports being carried on for its own sake and for the enjoyment of its participants.
Physical art
Sports have many affinities with art. Ice skating and Tai chi, and Dancesport for example, are sports that come close to artistic spectacles in themselves. Similarly, there are other activities that have elements of sport and art in their execution, such as artistic gymnastics, Bodybuilding, Parkour, performance art, Yoga, bossaball, dressage, culinary arts, etc. Perhaps the best example is Bull-fighting, which in Spain is reported in the arts pages of newspapers. The fact that art is so close to sports in some situations is probably related to the nature of sports. The definition of "sports" above put forward the idea of an activity pursued not just for the usual purposes, for example, running not simply to get places, but running for its own sake, running as well as we can.
This is similar to a common view of aesthetic value, which is seen as something over and above the strictly functional value coming from an object's normal use. So an aesthetically pleasing car is one which
doesn't just get from A to B, but which impresses us with its grace, poise, and charisma.
In the same way, a sporting performance such as jumping doesn't just impress us as being an effective way to avoid obstacles or to get across streams. It impresses us because of the ability, skill, and style which is shown.
Art and sports were probably more clearly linked at the time of Ancient Greece, when gymnastics and calisthenics invoked admiration and aesthetic appreciation for the physical build, prowess and 'arete' displayed by participants. The modern term 'art' as skill, is related to this ancient Greek term 'arete'. The closeness of art and sport in these times was revealed by the nature of the Olympic Games which, as we have seen, were celebrationsof both sporting annd artistic achievements, poetry, sculpture and architecture.
Technology has an important role in sports, whether applied to an athlete's health, the athlete's technique, or equipment's characteristics.
Equipment As sports have grown more competitive, the need for better equipment has arose. Golf clubs, football helmets, baseball bats, soccer balls, hockey skates, and other equipment have all seen considerable changes when new technologies have been applied.
Health Ranging from nutrition to the treatment of injuries, as the knowledge of the human body has deepened over time, an athlete's potential has been increased. Athletes are now able to play to an older age, recover more quickly from injuries, and train more effectively than previous generations of athletes.
Instruction Advancing technology created new opportunities for research into sports. It is now possible to analyse aspects of sports that were previously out of the reach of comprehension. Being able to use motion capture to capture an athlete's movement, or advanced computer simulations to model physical scenarios has greatly increased an athlete's ability to understand what they are doing and how they can improve themselves.
In British English, sporting activities are commonly denoted by the mass noun "sport". In American English, "sports" is more used. In all English dialects, "sports" is the term used for more than one specific sport. For example, "football and swimming are my favourite sports", would sound natural to all English speakers, whereas "I enjoy sport" would sound less natural than "I enjoy sports" to North Americans.
The term "sport" is sometimes extended to encompass all
competitive activities, regardless of the level of physical activity. Both games of skill and motor sport exhibit many of the characteristics of physical sports, such as skill, sportsmanship, and at the highest levels, even professional sponsorship associated with physical sports. Air sports, billiards, bridge, chess, motorcycle racing, and powerboating are all recognized as sports by the International Olympic Committee with their world governing bodies represented in the Association of the IOC Recognised International Sports Federations.[8]
Spectator sport
As well as being a form of recreation for the participants, much sport is played in front of an audience. Most professional sport is played in a 'theatre' of some kind; be it a stadium, arena, golf course, race track, or the open road, with provision for the (often paying) public.Large television or radio audiences are also commonly attracted, with rival broadcasters bidding large amounts of money for the 'rights' to show certain fixtures. The football World Cup attracts a global television audience of hundreds of millions; the 2006 Final alone attracted an estimated worldwide audience of well over 700 million. In the United States, the championship game of the NFL, the Super Bowl, has become one of the most watched television broadcasts of the year. Super Bowl Sunday is a de facto national holiday in America; the viewership being so great that in 2007 advertising space was reported as being sold at $2.6m for a 30 second slot.

text: J&J Wouldn't Settle for $1.8M. A $1B Verdict Followed Company still faces more than 8K lawsuits in hip implant case By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Dec 2, 2016 2:44 AM CST Updated Dec 2, 2016 6:45 AM CST 33 comments Comments People walk along a corridor at Johnson & Johnson headquarters in New Brunswick, NJ. (AP Photo/Mel Evans, File) (Newser) – Johnson & Johnson was hit with another stinging verdict Thursday when a federal jury in Texas ordered it to pay just over $1 billion to six people whose hip implants failed and had to be surgically removed. The company—which rejected a pre-trial offer to settle for $1.8 million, according to Mark Lanier, who represented the plaintiffs—still faces more than 8,000 lawsuits over the metal-on-metal Pinnacle implants and says it will appeal the verdict immediately, Reuters reports. The plaintiffs accused the company and its DePuy Orthopaedics unit of failing to warn consumers about the risks of its defectively designed implants. All but $32 million of the $1.04 billion verdict was punitive damages. This was the third "test case" involving the implant to go to court. J&J won the first, but a jury awarded the plaintiffs $502 million, later reduced to $150 million, in the second. "The jury is telling J&J that they better settle these cases soon," Lanier tells Bloomberg. "All they are doing by trying more of these cases is driving up their costs and driving the company's reputation into the mud." A University of Michigan law professor agrees, saying there's "no easy way out of these cases now that they have a billion-dollar verdict against them." (In October, the company was hit with another huge verdict over its talcum powder, which plaintiffs said was linked to ovarian cancer.)

An ecommerce content audit may help a retail businesses identify valuable assets, discover new content or product ideas, improve site design or navigation, generate more site traffic, and even earn more sales, says Armando Roggio at www.practicalecommerce.com
According to him, content audit is essential in order to improve the conversion rates, marketing, SEO as well as site design.
Take a look into the main tips and tricks how to conduct an audit for your content and why it is worth:
Content Is for people
In nearly every possible example, content is meant for people. Its true purpose is to attract, engage, and retain people.
Ecommerce websites include content so people will buy products. Ecommerce marketers write how-to articles so people can learn a new skill and be engaged. Even SEO-friendly URLs and page titles aim to help people find the content.
Start the content audit process with a clear statement describing the people your content is meant to reach. A clear definition of your audience is an essential part of content marketing and the analysis of it.
Set a goal
A thorough content audit can be a significant undertaking, especially for a relatively large ecommerce website. There is very little point in making the effort unless your business has some specific goals and a plan to use the information uncovered in the audit.
Start with one of the reasons listed above, for example improved marketing, and define associated goals for the audit. A goal might be to identify content gaps for future content campaigns or to eliminate content that no longer fits your products or business. And don't forget your audience as you set audit goals. What should your content do for them?
Once goals are set, do your best to limit the scope of your audit. Do you need to look at all content on your website and various platforms, or is it enough to focus on your blog? Do you need to consider all content ever produced or just the content published in the past 12 or 24 months?
Include KPIs
Based on the goals you establish and the audience you aim to reach, identify the KPIs you'll need to collect and analyze any associated information you'll want for decision-making.
If your goal is to discover new content marketing ideas, look at some of the best-read content you have now and seek to discover related topics you're not current addressing.
KPIs for those best-performing bits of content might be:
- Direct site traffic,
- Number of annual sessions,
- Number of social media shares,
- Repeat visitors,
- Time on page.
In addition, for high performing content, audit the topic, type, length, and age.
Content an Inventory
Once you have a clear picture of your audience in view and a set of clear audit goals and KPIs, it's time to begin a content inventory.
There are, perhaps, three ways to conduct a content inventory.
Manually collect content information. If your company has relatively little content, you may collect it article-by-article or page-by-page, building out a spreadsheet with hundreds of rows and, perhaps, a dozen columns. The process is arduous, but you will have an intimate understanding of your content.
Use third-party software. There are content audit software tools available. These tend to be more or less comprehensive and more or less specific to a particular sort of content audit. So you may want to look at a few options. SEO-driven content audits, as an example, will often use (a) the Screaming Frog SEO spider to collect or count inventory, (b) Google Analytics to locate traffic data, and (c) a backlink checker, such as Ahrefs, to understand associated links. This process is faster and less painful than a completely manual process, but not by much.
A custom content audit solution. Some companies develop custom content audit solutions. These solutions often access your content database directly and use application programming interfaces to gather associated data from third parties. Given the ease of web application development, a custom content audit solution may take less time to build than it takes to conduct an old school, manual content inventory. A custom solution can be reused, so you might conduct a content inventory quarterly, or monthly, or even daily without additional work.
Regardless of the method, the result will be a report listing all of the content within the audit's scope. This list will include the KPIs and other information you'll need to properly analyze your content and inform your business decisions.
Analyze Your Content
There is not a specific recipe or guideline for analyzing your content. You cannot say, for example, that a KPI means you should do this particular thing to achieve your goal.
Rather, look for patterns in the content inventory data related to your audit goals. The patterns you find should inform a hypothesis and lead to further analysis and understanding.
In the end, use your content audit to draw insights and ideas that will improve your ecommerce business. It is the application of what you learned in the audit that makes it a worthwhile marketing endeavor.
