Sugared Drinks Tied to 180,000 Deaths Worldwide Each Year
Drew ArmstrongSugary drinks and sodas may be associated with about 180,000 deaths a year worldwide, including 25,000 in the U.S., by exacerbating conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer, a study found.
The beverages raised deaths worldwide from diabetes by 133,000, from cardiovascular disease by 44,000 and from cancer by 6,000, according to the study presented today at a meeting of the American Heart Association in New Orleans.
"Sugary drinks are high in calories and sugar and low in nutrients, so drinking these beverages does not make you feel full and you continue to eat as normal," Gitanjali Singh, the co-author of the study and a postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, said in an e-mail. "These extra calories contribute to weight gain, which in turn contributes to cardiovascular disease and diabetes."
Policy makers, particularly in New York City, have debated ways to limit access and consumption of the drinks, including sodas, sugared fruit drinks, ice teas and sports drinks. Their goal is to cut the rise of obesity and its associated health-care costs. In the U.S., 36 percent of adults and 17 percent of children are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg sought to ban sale of the drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces. A state judge struck down the ban on March 11. The city is appealing the ruling. Bloomberg is the majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News.
Big Soda
Coca-Cola Co. is the world's biggest maker of carbonated beverages, followed by PepsiCo Inc. and Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc., according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Coca-Cola and Pepsi also dominate the market for sports drinks, along with closely held Red Bull GmbH.
The American Beverage Association, which represents the industry, harshly criticized the study.
"This abstract, which is not peer-reviewed nor published in a way where its methodology can be fully evaluated, is more about sensationalism than science," the group said today in a written statement. "The researchers make a huge leap when they take beverage intake calculations from around the globe and allege that those beverages are the cause of deaths which the authors themselves acknowledge are due to chronic disease."
In the study, the researchers compared consumption of sugary drinks with rates of obesity. They then compared the effect of increased obesity rates on the levels of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Higher Consumption
Latin America had the most diabetes deaths related to sugary drinks, according to the study. Mexico, where the researchers said the consumption of sugared drinks is higher than almost anywhere in the world, had the highest associated death rate, with 318 deaths out of every 1 million adults linked to the volume of sugared drinks they consumed, according to the study. Eastern and Central Eurasia had the highest number of associated deaths from cardiovascular disease.
Sugar-sweetened beverages are the biggest source of calories in the U.S. diet, said Rachel K. Johnson, a professor of medicine and nutrition at the University of Vermont. Those calories don't act like most other foods, Johnson said in a video accompanying the study.
"One of the problems of sugar-sweetened beverages is that we don't seem to compensate as well for the calories as we do for solid foods," Johnson said. "In other words, when we consume sugar-sweetened beverages we don't reduce the amount of food we consume."
Johnson cautioned the study didn't prove cause and effect, just that there was an association between sugared-drink intake and death rates.
Singh, the study co-author, said that taxing sugary drinks in the same way as cigarettes, or limiting advertising or access, may help reduce usage.
"Our study shows that tens of thousands of deaths worldwide are caused by drinking sugary beverages and this should impel policy makers to make strong policies to reduce consumption of sugary beverages," Singh said.

Candice's Design Tips: The White Room Challenge
Creativity is Key
Nightclub and hotel owners nationwide, take note — give this man a quart of milk and a bag of oranges and he'll create the hippest urban lounge this side of the meat freezer.
A "wow, what is that?" drizzled-milk wall treatment (please don't tell my kids) combined with the warm intimacy created from the orange slice chandelier are moody, dramatic and, dare I say, even sexy. Add the whimsy and humor of the graffiti-style sofa treatment and folks, we have a contender.
Establish a Focal Point
Antonio has worked as a set builder/stylist with some of the world's top photographers and it shows. Here he masterfully executes a graphic, one-point perspective pattern that draws the eye inward, creates the illusion of depth in this little box, and establishes the sofa as a definite focal point, seemingly exploding off the wall. This design is strong, bold and has an edgy excitement, just like Antonio.
However, as much as this room gets an A for impact it gets an F for honoring the challenge. Rather than actually "creating" with his grocery items, he's simply used them as props. Rather than relying on paint, I would have loved to see Antonio's graphic pattern made from rolls of garbage bags outlined with breakfast cereal, hot dog buns, spaghetti noodles; the end result would be the same, but it would have shown some ingenuity. Knowing Antonio's bad boy rep, I really expected him to embrace "dangerous" perishables like cheese and meats simply for the stink factor.
Step Outside the Comfort Zone
OK, I'm a girl from the North and I have to say, those girls from the South never cease to amaze me. Torie has been the picture of poise, Southern sweetness and demure design restraint. Then came the white room challenge and this Southern belle dug deep, real deep. By channeling her inner Prince, Austin Powers and Barbie, Torie has created a luscious, glamorous, shagadelic lounge out of humble old garbage bags and beans — wow! Who knew?
Now, this challenge is purely design for design's sake — no clients, no practicality, no real world — a designer's dream. I think I had as much fun seeing Torie create this room as Torie had creating it. We should all be so lucky, whether we're designers or not, to step outside our comfort zone and create with such reckless abandon. Torie, you go girl!
Be Inspiring
Is it just me or does Dan, just by being in a room, make it all that much better looking? But, I digress. As a newbie-judge on Design Star and a veteran of the design biz, I was hoping to be, at the very least, inspired by my Design Star experience.
This challenge is the first opportunity for contestants to show their individual talent, and if we're talking creativity, talent and honoring the challenge, Dan pushed all the buttons and then some. The strength of this room is its strong narrative. It starts with an element — an apple — and tells the story of the apple, its origins and its destiny. Everything in this room has purpose and meaning as it relates back to the original design element and concept. This approach is the cerebral side of design that is rarely spoken about and it's what makes truly great design. This space is not only respectful of the challenge, creative and beautiful, but on a purely personal note, it is inspiring.
Add Contrast
I found this room very dry and bland, which I think is to be expected when a room is designed around matzo crackers. I like that Jason was committed to his design and not only created a dimensional wall pattern with the crackers but also used a stylized interpretation of it as a painted wall graphic. However, these rooms are all viewed at a distance and have to have impact. The yellow and brown color scheme only washes out the neutral color of the crackers. A scheme of black and red would have given the cracker beige some much-needed contrast and punch. Frankly, in an entire grocery store filled with colorful fruits, vegetables and packaging, the choice of bland, boring matzo crackers as the jumping–off point for Jason's design has me puzzled.
Have a Cohesive Plan
There are some really great individual elements in this room. First I love the painted wall graphic — it's very bold and in a color that you wouldn't expect in an Asian-inspired room. The transformation of the end tables with Asian newsprint is also on my hit list. However, this room seems manic and disjointed. I have a hard time figuring out what a row of chocolate milk bottles, strewn teddy bears and a sliced melon have to do with the Asian theme; I'm all for eclecticism but this is too fractured. I would have created a huge capiz shell-inspired chandelier out of the translucent rice paper circles (stunning!); used multiple Soya sauce cans to make a long, low, graphic coffee table; covered the sofa in printed burlap bags from bulk rice; and used the rice to create a high-contrast carpet that sat on a floor of dark nori wrappers.
Break Up the Monotony
This is a room that is good but not great. The bold graphic grabs your attention and forces your eye to the back of the space. The sofa treatment helps break up the monotony of all the straight lines and symmetrical composition. However, this is a room where Tashica should be engaging all of her creative energy and, on that note, it falls short. It's not meant to be a room that is lived in and that's why we expect to see something free and artful. Filling the entire back wall with apples and using several radiating black and green apple stripes coming off of the wall would have given this room more wow factor. I would have created a wall-to-wall mural of swirling oranges, apples, eggplants, lemons, artichokes — any and all colorful fruits and vegetables grouped in a big, beautiful, abstract composition.
Don't Be Too Perfect
This color scheme of turquoise, lemon and white just reads like a breath of fresh air. The fretwork pattern with the paper plates grounds the sofa and adds dimensional interest. This room is perfect — and 'perfect' in design is not always a good thing. The symmetry and rigidity of the elements renders it a bit characterless; where's the soul? One ray of hope is the small art piece on the left. Imagine if that square at the back of the room contained a super-scaled version of this vegetable and flower composition; it'd be more creative, dynamic and interesting. Jany is playing it safe right now and safe means boring. She needs to take a lesson from Torie in that department.
Have a Plan B
This room has some great beginnings — the beginnings of some really interesting surface treatments. Gotta love the artichoke lamp, the bottle-leg table and cereal carpet. I know Lonni experienced some "technical difficulties" and I feel for her; every experienced designer feels for her because we've all gone through the sickening feeling of the unexpected sabotaging the success of our design. However, on Design Star you need to think fast on your feet and have a plan B because there is a LOT of the unexpected; nothing ever seems to go as planned. I think Lonni started with a great concept but if you don't finish, your design voice can't be heard. Unfortunately, this room is just a whisper.

An Analysis Of Cultural Heritage Tourism Tourism Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Heritage is property of the world. It has important evidences of past incidents and changes and it is the necessity to conserve it without political involvement and racial discrimination (UNESCO, 2004). So far Graham et al. (2000, p40) suggested Heritage is tremendously concerned in the construction and legitimating of collective constructs of uniqueness, such as group, gender, religion, civilization and nationalism.
When we talk about the relation of heritage into tourism industry, at first, holy cities such as Rome are acknowledged as a highly multifunctional and even 'multi heritage' place, as a result, the heritage attractions positively become the feature of Italy for tourist. To manifest the implication of heritage is consequently the key point of managing a heritage sites.
As cultural heritage tourism is mostly depending on the history, the event in the past has abundant evidence that how the past travels had been changing the entire pages of each century and affected our past life. Much of it is also passed on form age to age occasionally in the form in which it actually "happen" but more often as "myth or fable". In whichever form it is of prime importance to a tourism professional, particularly in the circumstances such as the one obtaining in India with wealthy cultural heritage having continuity form the ancient (IGNOU, 2002). The process of finding will continue to the future because no one predict that how many real stories have buried in the earth or still has not being found. But somehow scholars has been able to find the real incident of past with the help of evidences of literature which still present all over the world as well as the role of science and researchers. An archaeology department of each country is encouraging the researchers to find out about our past. These particular reasons also encouraged to the selection of the dissertation topic, so at first this will focus on past history and development of Ajanta and Ellora caves and then it will look at the past record of tourist information and the with the help of available secondary data from Books, Journal articles, news papers past surveys and the information available from the internet, respective governments and non government agencies such as UNESCO, ICOMOS, IUCN, GHF, etc.
Cultural heritage conservation is always a centre of discussion in the form of developing economy of various nations. Cultural heritage tourism product is becoming a prime source for develop and developing countries. Countries like India where every tourist gets glimpses of diverse culture in his/her entire journey. India is primarily a cultural destination in international tourism in these are the features of India marketed as tourism product in international as well as domestic circuit. Domestic tourism competition already has begun in India from past decades every states government has been developing their strategies with the help of international organization to improve the tourism. In result due to sudden changes the competition can be seen among service providers as from hawkers to a large scale stakeholders. In scenario market everyone's mind has been diverting toward the heritage sites in India, thus it's creating trafficking of tourists as well as service providers. So it is affecting the quality of services and facilities. So it shows a different picture of hospitality and tourism industry in India.
Visitors/ tourists these are the main driver of tourism industries. Firstly, the different demands and requirement of individual is affecting on tourism industry in India such as tailor made tours and the class of tourist. Also the issues and understanding of heritage tourism by people it may be visitors/tourists or local communities are different.
There are two types of tourists are who has interested to visit a cultural sites around the world and the second one who Most of the people's travel interest is to watch heritage sites around the world and some leisure activity thus it boosting the economy of respective destination. The most important part of tourism is a cultural as well as natural heritage property. So it always remains prime attraction to most of the people to come and enjoy their holidays. This dissertation will focus on the every aspects of cultural heritage tourism industry such as supply, demand, conservation management, interpretation, authenticity and politics of cultural heritage site.
The primary data can receive with the help of some questionnaire to understand the real nature and find out what can do more to achieve the overall development at Ajanta and Ellora Caves at Aurangabad.
To understand the World cultural heritage site here the UNESCO considers that as a monuments, architectural works, works of monumental sculpture and painting, elements or structures of an archaeological nature, inscriptions, cave dwellings and combinations of features, which are of outstanding universal value from the point of view of history, art or science; groups of buildings: groups of separate or connected buildings which, because of their architecture, their homogeneity or their place in the landscape, are of exceptional universal importance from the point of view of history, art or science; sites: works of man or the combined works of nature and man, and areas including archaeological sites which are of excellent universal value from the historical, aesthetic, ethnological or anthropological point of view.
In contrast it is suggested that World Heritage Sites should not only be exemplary situations for the pursuit of research but also be closely identified with the creation and maintenance of different kinds of knowledge (Darvill, T., 2007). People always willing to learn new things or exchange the knowledge between each other, it is nothing but to become aware about our surroundings and changing of trends in scenario market.
Here, In the Krakow Charter (2000), a monument is defined as "a clearly determined entity, the bearer of values, which represent a support to memory. In it, memory recognises the aspects that are relevant to human performance and feelings, associated with the historic time-line" (Vecco, M 2010).
In the Times of India there was an article about heritage tourism and in that the Atul Sethi has mentioned that Heritage can become a serious economic driver for India, if the country is able to get its act together. If we take an example as future 2025, so the picture of the heritage site will give different view as no beggars or touts in particular area like Maluti temple, a world heritage site in Jharkhand India. So tourist can enjoy the holistic experience of the temples and can savour the living legacy of the region. The heritage tourism in India is attracting hordes of international and domestic tourist and top of the line contributors to the country's foreign exchange and GDP. The global heritage fund organizations 2010 report says that developing countries like India can tap a $ 100 billion a year opportunity by 2025, if they make sincere attempt to preserve and responsibly develop their heritage sites.
Literature Review:
This chapter will investigate the perception of cultural heritage tourism and visitor management as well as development of tourism at site by reviewing several concerned literatures. The review will start with the overview of cultural heritage tourism including the concept of Culture, heritage, cultural heritage tourism and cave architecture from different World Heritage Sites to understand the their current scenario of cultural heritage tourism management. The review will be followed by the discussion on visitor impacts, their experience and management. Also it will focus on the intermediaries of cultural heritage tourism.
Cultural heritage tourism:
Cultural Tourism is the subset of tourism that is defined as travel directed toward experiencing the traditional and contemporary culture, arts, and special character of a place. This includes the performing, visual and literary arts, language, museums, heritage, crafts, architecture, design, film and broadcasting. The primary benefit of cultural tourism is economic impact. There are plenty of statistics that talk about the fact that travellers who participate in cultural activities spend more money and stay longer than leisure travellers. A good cultural tourism plan shapes and defines a community's image, both to itself and to the outside world
Cultural tourism and cultural heritage management work as equivalent activities in most places with really little conversation between the two (Mckercher and Du Cros, 2002). As it shows common interest between the cultural and cultural heritage is the management, conservation, and preservation of the cultural and heritage properties. So the results of this many lost opportunities to provide value to visitor experiences even though managing rare and weak resources in a social context, environmentally and ethically responsible and sustainable manner. Sometimes this loss results in some (and scholars stress some) unprincipled tourism operator exploring local culture and heritage assets for their own personal gain (Mckercher and Du Cros, 2002).
Hall and Zeppel (1990a:87 in Timothy and Boyd, 2003) stated that relation between cultural and heritage tourism is:
Cultural heritage is experiential tourism based on being involved in and stimulated by the performing arts and festivals. Heritage tourism, whether in the form of visiting preferred landscapes, historic sites, buildings or monuments is also experiential tourism in the sense of seeking an encounter with nature or feeling part of the history of a place.
Most researchers believe that heritage is linked to the past which symbolizes some sort of gift to be passed down to current as well as future generations, both in terms of cultural traditions and physical objects (Hardy, 1988 cited in Timothy and Boyd 2003). But in contrast many authors have pointed out that what elements of past a society need to maintain (Fladmark 1998; Graham et al., 2000; Hall and McArthur 1998 in Timothy and Boyd 2003). As there are many incidents all cannot link to the cultural aspects. This makes selective sort of heritage it assumes some aspect of value, that which is of personal value is labelled as personal or family heritage, whereas those values dictated by nations or communities become 'our' heritage (Hall and McArthur 1998 cited in Timothy and Boyd 2003). Hall and Zappel (1990) observed differently that the connections between cultural and heritage tourism, stating that Cultural tourism is experiential tourism based on being involved in and stimulated by the performing arts, visual arts and festivals. Heritage tourism whether in the form of visiting preferred landscapes, historic sites, building or monuments, is also experiential tourism in the sense of seeking an encounter with nature or feeling part of the history of a place.
However the most internationally accepted definition of heritage was defined by UNESCO that "Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to the future generations" (UNESCO 2008a, p.5).
Furthermore Timothy and Boyd (2003) stated that heritage can be divided into tangible immovable resources (e.g. national park, sanctuaries, monuments, buildings), tangible movable resources (e.g. objects in museums) and intangible resources including values, customs, ceremonies, lifestyles and experiences such as cultural events, currently UNESCO focusing on folk dances of south India as a cultural heritage( ). It defines that heritage tourism as 'an immersion in the natural history human heritage, arts, philosophy and institutions of another region or country' (Timothy and Boyd 2003).
The importance of Heritage
The importance of heritage and reasons for preserving heritage can be described into four aspects which are social, economical, scientific and political (Hall and McArthur 1993a). In social significance, heritage refers to personal and collective identity people and society have which can lead to create a sense of belonging. The sense of belonging and social conscience is a driver to consider preservation in the first place. In terms of economic importance, heritage is preserved because of its value for tourism and recreation. As being a large scale business, heritage tourism can generate incomes for the sites either from visitor spending or sponsorship from various stakeholders (Hall and McArthur 1993a). Further mainly Heritage have scientific and educational importance since heritage attractions especially natural heritage sites such as national parks may have rare habitat and endangered species which will be useful for scientific researches as well as the monuments and wonders of the worlds creates more opportunities to the scientist and researchers to find out the exact meaning of the past it may be by digging by the archaeological department of each country or the scientific analysis of wall paintings at various world heritage sites (Hall and McArthur 1993a). In terms of political importance, Hall and McArthur (1993a, p. 9) state that "the importance and demonstration of heritage may serve political ends" as the conservation and interpretation of certain heritage attractions may serve to underline a particular version of history or to promote existing political values.
Current tourist demand:
According to (Pavliv, 2009) up gradation in the standard of living is become a main cause of rises in fluctuation of tourists spending for example the income generating from the modern tourism commodities. Modern tourist's behaviour is the main factor in current tourism industry. As currently many of travel operations that could be from demand side or supply side are in boom because ease of accessing Information through internet. So the importance of information technology in the current industry is the main factor while considering the supply and demand of tourism industry. Also it can be assumed that the personal needs of the modern tourism have more influence compare to old masses of tourism. The current tourism mostly depended on economic mass and production to consume mass, standardized and rigidly packaged holidays. The new tourists are dictating the pace and direction of industry changes (Poon, 1993 in Pavlic, 2009).
New tourist's behaviour is the most important factor in the modern tourism development. Consequently, here the intention of the research is to find out the main factors and consequences of tourism demand changes. The researcher wants to find out if there is the universal type of tourist for the universal tourism supply or there are different types that require different marketing approach for example the e-tourism method to attract the tourists. Also the goals of the paper are to research the main causes of changes in modern tourism. The stated phenomenon has exerted a great influence onto the behavioural changes, as well as on the change in structure of the existing needs of tourist demand compare with the previous period. While the old mass tourism, apparently identical tourists were forced by the economic and mass production to consume mass, standardized and rigidly packaged holidays of every group of people and individual, new tourist consider the changes in this industry are and it affecting on their individual decision (Poon, 1993 cited in Pavlic, 2009). For ex: tour packages.
Vellas & Becherel (1997 in Pavlic, 2009) the modern tourist can be classified in various factors and in that three main factors which particularly in demand of travel of tourist firstly, demographic and communal changes. These factors mainly control by traditional and existing outbound market respectively these are two main markets in this industry so as far as concern it has enormous influence on the individual tourist as well as on international tourism. Secondly, leisure time and duration of holidays is greater than before as.
Segmentation of holidays and market segmentation.
Chapter 3
A case study of Ajanta and Ellora caves
The consideration of architectural heritage had been a matter of national concern only at most the laws regarding protection of historic building in Europe date back to that period of their national borders. There are numerous cultural groups live in each country, but their scope never went beyond the boundaries. The cultural internationalism was a result of the First World War, with the formation of the confederation of Nations, and most of all of the Second World War, with the formation of the United Nations Organization and the establishment of the UNECO (ICOMOS, 2010).
The chapter provides a literature review of cultural heritage tourism in India, Particularly at Ajanta and Ellora Caves World Heritage sites inscribed in 1983 by UNESCO at Aurangabad, India. These caves are great example of cave architecture from the 2nd to 6th century. It is mainly demonstrate the Buddhist, Jain and Hindu religion cultures. So, these studies will focuses on the religious diversity of cultures in India as well as it involve the importance of heritage visitor's management at those sites. And then it will compare with other world heritage sites. As what can do more to maintain/sustain the balance between demand and supply side of heritage tourism industry in India. Increasing tourists and the conservation of heritage sites these are the main issues now days. So, as subsidizing product of tourism industry what are the main significance and characteristics of cultural heritage tourism and its importance around the world and in India particularly at Ajanta and Ellora caves.
According to the UNESCO, the Ajanta Caves are the masterwork of the Archaeological rock cut caves. The first Buddhist cave monuments at Ajanta date from the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. During the Gupta dynasty period (5th and 6th centuries A.D.), highly abundantly decorated caves were added to the original group. The paintings and sculptures of Ajanta, considered as a stunning success of Buddhist religious art, have had a considerable artistic influence.
As it mentioned above the Ajanta caves depict the role of the Buddhist community, intellectual and religious halls, schools for self development based on the teaching of "Vipassana". In the Buddhist tradition which means insight into the nature of reality. Vipassana is one of world's most ancient techniques of meditation; it is a practice of self-transformation through self-observation and introspection. In English, vipassana is often referred to simply as "insight meditation". The caves also was a reception centres in the India of the Gupta and their immediate successors.
The caves are located 100Â km north-east of Ellora, 104Â km from Aurangabad, Maharashtra India and 52Â km from Jalgaon Railway Station. They are cut into the volcanic lava of the Deccan in the forest ravines of the Sahyadri Hills and are set in beautiful sylvan surroundings. The most important part is these magnificent caves containing carvings that depict the life of Buddha, and their carvings and sculptures are considered to be the beginning of classical Indian art. And this is main reason why tourist and researchers attract to those sites.
The description of the caves is, the total number of caves are 30 but one is unfinished caves so the 29 caves were excavated beginning around 200 BC, but they were abandoned in AD 650 in favour of Ellora. In that five of the caves were temples and 24 were monasteries, thought to have been occupied by some 200 monks and artisans. After 7th century to 18th century there was no any supportive record has found, it may be because of increased forest surrounding of the site and that it was forgotten until their 'rediscovery' by a British tiger-hunting party in 1819.
The Ajanta site consists of 29 caves cut into the side of a cliff which rises above a wander in the Waghora River. Today the caves are reached by a road which runs along a terrace mid-way up the cliff; however each cave was once linked by a stairway to the edge of the water. This is a Buddhist community, comprises five sanctuaries or Chaitya-grihas (caves number 9, 10, 19, 26 and 29) and monastic complex sangharamas or viharas. A first group of caves was formed in the 2nd century BC: the Chaitya-grihas open into the rock wall by doorways surmounted by a horse-shoe shaped bay. The ground plan is a basilical one: piers separate the principal nave from the side walkway which joins in the apsis to permit the ritual circumambulation behind the (commemorative monument). This rupestral architecture scrupulously reproduces the forms and elements visible in wooden constructions.
A second group of caves was created at a later date, the 5th and 6th centuries AD, during the Gupta and post-Gupta periods. These caves were excavated during the supremacy of the Vakatakas and Guptas. According to inscriptions, Varahadeva, the minister of the Vakataka king, Harishena (c. AD 475-500), dedicated Cave 16 to the Buddhist sangha while Cave 17 was the gift of the prince, a feudatory. An inscription records that the Buddha image in Cave 4 was the gift of some Abhayanandi who hailed from Mathura.
The earlier architectural formulas were re-employed but treated in an infinitely richer and more ample manner. The decoration attained, at this time, an unequalled splendour: the statuary is numerous (it was already permissible to represent Buddha as a human; these representations are found both on the facades and in the interior). Finally, the wall painting, profuse and sensitive, constitutes, no doubt, the most striking artistic achievement of Ajanta.
Under the impulse of the Gupta dynasty, Indian art in effect reached its apogee. The Ajanta Caves are generally decorated with painted or sculpted figures of supple form and classic balance with which the name of the dynasty has remained synonymous. The refined lightness of the decoration, the balance of the compositions, the marvellous beauty of the feminine figures place the paintings of Ajanta among the major achievements of the Gupta and post-Gupta style and confer on them the ranking of a masterpiece of universal pictorial art.
Here needs to understand the history of India as how the past events has changed its culture first major civilisation Indus River valley was found early five thousand years back. The twin cities of Mohenjodaro and Harappa World heritage site UNESCO now in Pakistan were ruled by priests and held the fundamentals of Hinduism. These civilisations are known to possess a sophisticated way of life, a highly developed sense of aesthetics, an astounding knowledge of town planning and an unreadable script language. The Indus culture at one point of time extended nearly a million square kilometres across the Indus river valley. It existed at the same time as the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Sumer but far outlasted them. Surviving for nearly a thousand years the Indus valley civilisation fell to tectonic upheavals in about 1700 BC, which caused a series of floods.Â
The Aryans came around 1500 BC, and that was the reason to the collapsing Indus Valley culture. At the dawn of Vedic ages the Aryans came in from the North and spread through large parts of India bringing with them their culture and religious beliefs.
In 567 B.C. Siddhartha Gautama was born. After asceticism and meditation, Siddhartha Gautama discovered the Buddhist Middle Way-a path of moderation away from the extremes of self-indulgence and self-mortification.
Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment sitting under a Pipal tree, now known as the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, (A name of place) India Gautama, from then on, was known as "The Perfectly Self-Awakened One," the Samyaksambuddha. There are lots of paintings and sculptures "Vipassana".
During this time lived Mahavira, who founded the Jain Religion. The Indian subcontinent is full of caves and monuments devoted to these religions and are worth a visit.Â
After two hundred years, in the 4th century B.C., Emperor Ashoka, one of the greatest King of Indian histories, led the Mauryan Empire to take over almost all of what is now modern India. This great leader embraced Buddhism and built the group of monuments at Sanchi (a UNESCO world heritage site). The Ashoka pillar (four lions are seated back to back on single cut rock pillar) at Sarnath has been adopted by India as its national emblem and the Dharma Chakra on the Ashoka Pillar adorns the National Flag.
They were followed by the Guptas in the north, while in the south part of India quite a few different Hindu empires, the Cholas, the Pandyas and the Cheras spread and grew, did business with Europe and other parts of Asia till the end of the 1100s.
Christianity came in India at about the same time from Europe. Legend has it that St. Thomas the Apostle arrived in India in 52 A.D. Even earlier than that people of the Jewish religion arrived on India's shores.
In about the 7th century A.D. a group of Zoroastrians, or Parsees, landed in Gujarat and became a part of the large mix of religions in India today, each of which adds its important and distinctive flavour.
In the 15th century Guru Nanak laid the foundation of the Sikh religion in Punjab.
In 1192, Mohammed of Ghori, a ruler from Afghanistan, came into India and captured several places in the north including Delhi. When he went home he left one of his generals in charge who became the first Sultan of Delhi. During this time Islam, was introduced into a major part of Northern India. It can be mentioned that even before that, just after the period of the prophet, Islam was brought to the western coast of India by Arab traders and flourished in what is now Kerala.
The Dehli Sultanate gradually took control of more and more of North India over the next 200 years, till Timur, who was called "Timur the Lame" or "Tamberlane" came from Turkey in 1398 to attack India. He and his army stole all the valuables that they could carry and left again, Soon the Mughals, who were from Iran, came in and took control of the north.
In the meantime south, in 1336, the Hindu Vijayanagar empire was set up and became very strong.
The Europeans - Portuguese, French, Dutch, Danish and British - started arriving in the early 1600s. The above people held territories in India and made a good friends as well as enemies among India's rulers as they got more and more involved, with the Indian politics, however the British who eventually controlled most of India and finally made it one of their colonies.

India got its independence from Britain in 1947 after a long struggle led mostly by Mahatma Gandhi. In the process of becoming independent, India became two countries instead of one. In the years since independence India has made huge progress and coped with great problems, and has developed its industry and its agriculture, and has maintained a system of government which makes it the largest democracy in the world.

Every community and nation try to protect, conserve and develop heritage as an asset, particularly to make them important tourist sites by developing better infrastructure and facilities, which offer a rich cultural experience to tourists and ensure cultural and natural heritage of the destination to be preserved and conserved.
To extend INTACH's mandate beyond conservation, the Heritage Tourism Division was set up in December 2005. A cogent system of sustenance of heritage sites was evolved in the activities of the Division. This would allow people to have access to and understand heritage sites in complete detail. The Heritage Tourism Division's primary work is to synergize heritage with tourism.
The Division works for development of sustainable tourism connected with heritage as an asset. A development of tourist facilities is in harmony with the local eco-system and heritage architecture, and regulates sensitivity of design in architectural style of construction of any new tourist facilities. The aim of developing tourism is to conserve and utilize buildings to sustain their maintenance. Heritage Tourism development aspects are:
Community Development of tourist receiving destination
Socio-economic Growth of the receiving community
Preservation and Conservation of cultural and natural heritage sites
Income Generation

Senior Correspondent Mike Causey has stepped away from the keyboard for a much-needed break. While he investigates the latest rumors about Justin Bieber, we present "The Most Popular Federal Reports". This column was originally published on November 23, 2009. Bear in mind some details may have changed since then. sk
Imagine working for an outfit with a three-step rank-in-person system instead of 15 grades.
A system where outstanding employees could be rewarded, big time, and losers could be punished financially (maybe losing annual leave) and, if necessary fired quickly without red tape and endless appeals.
Read the latest on Donald Trump's first 100 days in office.
Imagine that if the boss proposed to fire you, you could demand a trial, complete with a jury of your peers, which would have to make a ruling within 4-weeks. And that jury would have the power to fire the boss instead of you.
Imagine an outfit where instead of hundreds of job classifications, pay grades and longevity steps within those grades, workers were put in three categories: Apprentice, Journeyman and Expert.
During some, most or even all of their time in the apprentice phase, poor performers could be let go without fanfare. Most would make it to the Journeyman level. Some, after regular reviews done by boards made up of peers, union reps and outsiders, could be promoted to the Expert level. In addition to performance, promotions and pay raises would be based on professional growth, outside activities and in-house mentoring.
All of the above, and a lot more, are under serious, as in very serious, consideration by the Obama administration. Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry has just outlined some of the things that are under review. Experts from dozens of federal agencies, on detail for 90-days, are working on a comprehensive package that will be sent to Congress early next year. Some of the changes could be done administratively, such as streamlined hiring procedures. Others would require congressional approval.
Berry said the changes, radical in some cases, are not meant to reorganize or reinvent the government. Rather, he told the Human Capital Management Forum, the idea is to re-energize the federal government.
Berry clearly has the President's attention. Mr. Obama personally called Berry, a one-time top aide to Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) to take over the Office of Personnel Management. At the time Berry was the happy head of the National Zoo – maybe the best job in government. He didn't want to leave. But you don't say no to a call like that.
To demonstrate that he has clout in power-conscious Washington, the President has taken Berry to two Cabinet meetings. The idea, clearly, was to let Department heads know that Berry is "the" man when it comes to job and system changes.
You can read the official transcript of what Berry said by clicking here.
Here are some of the major changes being considered for the federal workforce:
Berry told the conference that the government's problem isn't its workers, but the antiquated job rules they must work under.
Whether you approve of, or are horrified by, the proposed changes, odds are many of them will be approved.
So fasten your seat belts and smile!

Ok so im wondering what i should get out of super paper mario and Mario party 8 which is the funnest? or should i wait till octobor and get carnival games and metroid prime? (Im getting a game a month but if i leave this 1 out i can get 2 next month ^^)
I have both. If plan on doing mostly alone playing, SPM is the way to go. If you will be playing mostly with friends, then go MP8. MP8 has a sortof single player mode, but it doesn't last long and will bore you after a short while (no replay value at all for single player mode). MP8 is only useful when there are others around to play with you. I would personally skip them both, get prime, and call it a day.
Mario Party is THE party game to have, assuming you have a network of friends and family who like to play video games. It has no online feature, so you have to know 2 or 3 other people who want to come over and play. Friends are what make this game fun, playing against the computer is pretty boring. If that doesn't appeal to you then Super Paper Mario is a great single player game and I can't recommend it enough. I don't really see the appeal of carnival games, especially when you compare it to the other three behemoths you mentioned.
From my experience MP8 is fun with friends and bearable by yourself, as for SPM I've heard it is amazing 1 player game, so it depends on what you're looking for and also have heard MP3 is very good as well.

Low expectations is always the best way to enjoy anything.
Spoiler for next episode preview:
I mean even if they're going to have BETA next episode, their combat choreography so far hasn't been really amazingly impressive. And it's pretty clear they don't have much of a budget to work with either, and the director was supposedly getting overworked until they added a codirector around episode 10. |

This episode was downright terrible. Yui's personality degenerated from a strong-willed but overly judgmental soldier to a stereotypical "class rep" tsundere.
And what's with the Japanese school swimsuits used by a UN army group in the freaking Caribbean? That doesn't make the least bit of sense. Even ignoring that, the whole ending scene was painful to watch.

On the basis of the last few episodes the show is turning out to be what I first expected it to be and not what I'd been led to believe from the tone of the first two episodes.
I shall be very disappointed if nobody gets killed horribly next week. |

This was pretty interesting. The girls sure had some interesting opinions about Yuuya. With both of them injured, he didn't have an easy time. Looks like the Russian girl has a weakness after all ^^" There were some hints of jealousy between the girls too. They sure got rescued rather quickly. Takamura's punishment was pretty LOL

This episode was pretty weak and the people saying to stop reading if you liked the episode said everything I wanted to say.
The problem is that I dont see any good stuff lately. For example would not be better if we saw the differences in battle of the Japanese mecha and the Americans ones ? why the Japanese must be better than the others when we could have the American on the same league but better at doing other stuff. I dont mind if the Japanese mecha are better but I dont see why - they seems equal to me, I must say. This or some information about the aliens since the ones we saw so far seems war dogs to me. |

I don't care what you guys said, but this episode is pretty awesome for me. I mean, Yui is cute and seeing Chryska every time is always good too
...Though in terms of development, I still find it rather lacking. I don't get why Yui could get attracted with Yuuya that easily after what happened... but I don't really get girls in the first place either so I don't think I'm fit to talk about it like this.

That's why Yuuya spend a whole story arc trying to get a handle on the Fubuki and Shiranui, because they handle completely differently from what he's used to. They pretty much are arguably "better at doing other stuff" from each other. Last edited by DoomRavager; 2012-08-13 at 12:28. |

Then again, from the start you see that this is a fanservice-focused anime, judging from "dem bodysuits" alone, and we can't expect too much from it. I really hope they are trying to copy Evangelion in having a few light-hearted, "typical anime" episodes at first to contrast with the future downward spiral into death and destruction. If it takes a beach arc to do that, I'll turn a blind eye. PS: Chobi needs to die. No use for her type on the battlefield. EDIT: Also, I totally called the Scarlet Twins' aversion to the ocean, just forgot to say it last time. |

I see a lot of misconceptions about muvluv, while some are the viewer's fault (like complaints directed at the last scene when in the previous episode thye made it pretty clear one of the reasons they went to the island was for that last scene to happen) I want to blame the director..
For what I have gathered the point of muvluv is throwing is to use harem archetypes and tropes in ane nd of the world, mecha series, the problem I ahve with muvluv is that we are getting average to decent mecha stuff but below average harem, I mean the harem moments feel inferior to green green, I still value the experiment and don't want to be so harsh, but the execution is lacking and one has to fill many holes for the episodes to work. |

Not likeable? We don't know that much about Cryska before this episode but Yui is plenty likable. Yuuya is a bit of a blockhead with issues but he isn't all bad and he seems to feel bad that Yui really took his whole hating Japanese thing to heart.

The work of a biographer might seem straightforward enough. Although the general public might consider the genre a sub-category of nonfiction writing, the best works transcend that title, and stand apart as a class of their own. Biographies contain facts and historical documentation about the life of particular subject, and in this way meet the criteria for nonfiction. In a talk at the Key West Literary Seminar on Saturday, however, acclaimed biographer Jay Parini declared, "All biography is a work of fiction. It's an illusion of a life that may relate to reality."
How can this be?
Jay Parini, Judith Thurman, Brenda Wineapple, and James Atlas, four acclaimed contemporary biographers, participated in a chat on the subject. Speaking to the audience, the group acknowledged the slant that an author ultimately has to take when concocting a narrative stringing together all the anecdotes of a life, all the while keeping the story compelling. This conscious decision is the force that either massages the facts to this side or that, and keeps the book from being a bland inventory of actions. Indeed, it is the difference between a story and a plot.
The key factor to a successful biography is to keep the interpretation of a life as poetic and faithful as possible.
Towards the end of the chat a question came from the audience about the ethics of interviewing family members and friends of the deceased. Is there not certain amount of butt-kissing involved in forging relationships with these parties in hopes of getting interviews and access to documents? How can you make sure that your actions don't cross the ethical point of no return?
If you have the right intentions and passion, oftentimes this butt-kissing will flow naturally from you to them. After all, if you are writing a biography it is very likely that you have exclusively dedicated years of your life to the subject, and you are heavily invested in the results. As for going too far, it is something that you have to be mindful of, and it is easy to keep in under control when the intentions are transparent and true.
The key thing to remember, Brenda Wineapple reminded us, is that it is a two-way street. The person that you are interviewing is also doing quite a bit of enchantment, and they very likely have an agenda of their own. Hemingway's wife, she recalled, told authorities that Ernest way cleaning his gun because she didn't want anyone to know he committed suicide.
Biographies, it turns out, are much like daily life.
We must pick and choose which facts to consider, which facts to ignore, and most importantly how much weight we assign to each. The hardest thing to consider is exactly how much trust do we place in the people with whom we interact. The smallest change this or that way can lead to a dramatically different interpretation of events, and ultimately a different reality that we perceive.
Never mind the facts-- we live out our own fictions.

Glow Powered PT Profile
This is my first gyrocopter, a PT Profile with an OS .15. I've been flying airplanes and helicopters on and off for years but never a gyrocopter.
I got impatient and tried to fly it today under not ideal conditions. It was getting dark so I stopped at a golf course teeing off plateau instead of driving to the flying field. There was hardly any wind, just a very slight breeze. I tried some taxis to see if I could get the blades spinning up pretty good and it taxied fine. I was holding up elevator to get the blades spinning good then it rolled to the left before I ever thought it would try to come off the ground. I wasn't anywhere near full throttle. After restarting I stopped holding up when it got to any amount of speed but even with no elevator it would roll to the left when it got going faster. Several restarts and several more left rolls. Finally it was getting dark and I really wanted to fly this thing so I decided to go for it. Got the blades spinning pretty good and held forward elevator so it wouldn't come off the ground. It was moving out and still hadn't lifted off. The end of the driving range was coming up and there was a pretty big drop off. I thought what the hey maybe if I get it going fast enough it will fly off like a plane taking off of an aircraft carrier, so I punched it. Nope. Went over the edge and I just heard a crunch. The only damage was broken prop, wooden elevator servo mount and scuffed some of the monokote off the blades. I realized after getting home that I didn't put the shims on. Doh! Hopefully that will help. Next try I'll wait for some more wind and a much longer runway. |

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to ezetimibe / simvastatin: oral tablet
Common (1% to 10%): Diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea
Postmarketing reports: Pancreatitis
Common (1% to 10%): Constipation, nausea, flatulence, diarrhea, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, pancreatitis, anorexia, vomiting
Very rare (less than 0.01%): Protein losing enteropathy[Ref]
Very rare (less than 0.01%): Tendon rupture (one case)
Common (1% to 10%): Back pain, arthralgia
Postmarketing reports: Myalgia, elevated creatine phosphokinase, rare reports of myopathy/rhabdomyolysis
Frequency not reported: Elevations in creatine kinase, myopathy, dermatomyositis, rhabdomyolysis, arthralgia, myalgia[Ref]
Simvastatin has been associated with rare cases of severe myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. This is accompanied by elevations in creatine kinase, myoglobinuria, and proteinuria, as well as renal failure. Experience with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors indicates that concomitant use with gemfibrozil, niacin, cyclosporine, or erythromycin may increase the incidence and the severity of musculoskeletal side effects.
A case of spontaneous biceps tendon rupture developed in a patient after 4 months of treatment with ezetimibe-simvastatin. Upon rechallenge 2 months later, the patient developed pain in the contralateral arm overlying the biceps tendon. Following discontinuation of ezetimibe-simvastatin, pain resolved 2 weeks later. Inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases has been suggested as the contributing factor in the development of tendon rupture.[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Myoglobinuria, acute renal failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis[Ref]
Persistent elevations in liver function tests three times normal values are reported in up to 1.5% of patients on simvastatin in clinical trials. In one study, this led to the discontinuation of simvastatin in 0.6% of patients. In other patients, elevations in liver function tests were transient and returned to normal with continued simvastatin therapy.[Ref]
Postmarketing reports: Elevations in liver transaminases, hepatitis, cholelithiasis, cholecystitis
Common (1% to 10%): Elevations in liver function tests
Frequency not reported: Hepatitis (including chronic active hepatitis), cholestatic jaundice, fatty changes in the liver, cirrhosis, fulminant hepatic necrosis Postmarketing reports: Hepatic failure[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Eczematous, pruritic rash, toxic epidermal necrolysis, photosensitivity, purpura, erythema multiforme, photosensitivity, purpura, alopecia[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Influenza
Common (1% to 10%): Viral infection
Very rare (less than 0.01%): Lupus-like syndrome
Frequency not reported: Positive ANA, ESR increase, polymyalgia rheumatica, vasculitis[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Upper respiratory tract infection, interstitial lung disease causing breathing problems including persistent cough and/or shortness of breath or fever
Common (1% to 10%): Coughing
Frequency not reported: Sinusitis, pharyngitis[Ref]
Common (1% to 10%): Angina[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Gynecomastia, thyroid function abnormalities, increases in HbA1c and fasting serum glucose levels[Ref]
A patient who had taken lovastatin and pravastatin on different occasions developed reversible impotence. The impotence resolved within 2 weeks after the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor was discontinued.[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Erectile dysfunction, impotence[Ref]
Postmarketing reports: Epistaxis in a 65-year-old male
Postmarketing reports: Thrombocytopenia
Frequency not reported: Hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia (possibly manifestations of a hypersensitivity reaction)[Ref]
A 65-year-old male with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) who had a history of minimal epistaxis began to experience profuse epistaxis 8 to 10 weeks after starting ezetimibe-simvastatin, The patient had been treated with simvastatin 20 mg alone for 9 years without any adverse effects. Two months after starting combination therapy with ezetimibe-simvastatin he noticed epistaxis that increased from a few drops every other day to profuse bleeding for 20 to 30 minutes daily. The patient reported initiation of ezetimibe-simvastatin as the only change in his treatment regimen in the past year. When he stopped ezetimibe-simvastatin, his epistaxis decreased. After six weeks without ezetimibe-simvastatin, he had only one moderate nose bleed. Four months later, the patient's hemoglobin was stable. He then started simvastatin 40 mg monotherapy. The profound epistaxis returned and the patient discontinued the medication. It remains unclear whether the patient's accelerated epistaxis was due to the combination therapy or the double dosage of simvastatin.[Ref]
Postmarketing reports: Angioedema, anaphylaxis, rash, urticaria
Rare (less than 0.1%): Erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, anaphylaxis, angioedema, urticaria, fever, chills, flushing, malaise, dyspnea[Ref]

Frequency not reported: Progression of cataracts, ophthalmoplegia[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Liver, thyroid, and lung adenomas and carcinomas[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Depression, suicidal thoughts, delusions, paranoia, agitation, decreased libido, anxiety, insomnia[Ref]

MoFo 24: The Way to My Heart
A couple of days ago I had a really sweet afternoon coffee date with my friend Sophia. She is really great and awesome and I feel so lucky to be friends with her. And I'm not just saying that because she brought me this loaf of homemade bread! Sophia and her boyfriend make fresh bread a lot, and they are so good at it! This special little loaf is a really wonderful sour rye, and it is totally fabulous. I couldn't help but nosh into right away while we were still visiting (see aforementioned lack of self-control)... but for the last couple of days I've also been enjoying it for breakfast. Yesterday I had one slice (toasted, of course!) with tofu ricotta and red bell peppers, and one slice with quince jam. To my surprise, I think the savory slice was my favorite! I still haven't decided what to put on my toast this morning...
What are your favorite toasty toppings?
I know that if Bread had arms, it would hug me back.
