History of the abbey
The foundation process of this Cistercian cloister with the final location in Mogiła near Cracow which took place in 1218-1226 was conducted by Iwo and Wisław Odrowąż. New endowment constituted of lands which belonged to Wisław Odrowąż and his son Dobiesław.
At the turn of 1221 and 1222 the convent from Silesian Lubiąż came to Kacice in Little Poland. In 1222 Iwo gave them a village of Mogiła and earmarked it for a new location of the cloister. It was the time when they started working on this and in 1225 the convent moved from Kacice to Mogiła.
Their first endowment they had in 1222 was made of the villages of Prandocin, Kacice, Sędowice, Januszowie and pure gold which was given by Iwo from bishop's properties. Thanks to the numerous grants, the cloister in Mogiła increased in its properties and had a number of benefits.
An immediate neighbourhood was completely populated. In the village of Mogiła in the 20s of the 13th century there was a church of St. Bartholomew and in the 50s a parish.
In the 13th century the monks did a number of things, apart from farming and handicraft, they did activities connected with industry and mining; they had two salt springs
Iwon Odrowąż's death and Tatar Invasions caused the delay in building the church and the cloister. They were consecrated in 1266.
From 1309 Polish monks started to appear among those from France or Germany.
In the 17th century Mogiła was more and more important as pilgrims' destination due to the presence of the Miraculous Cross and the image of Jesus.
Academy of Cracow, which was established in 1401 as Władysław Jagiełło's request, became a place of training and education of the Cistercians not only from Poland but also from other provinces of Eastern and Central Europe.
In the 15th century abbot Piotr Hirszberg built the Cistercian Seminar at the Academy of Cracow and was chosen by the General Capitulary a reformer of the Order and an inspector in Prussia and Poland.
From 1538 the institution of abbots chosen by secular Kings brought a lot of economic problems.
In the 16th century there were much less callings, economic crisis and loosening of the obedience and discipline. The situation got better after the inspection of Edmund a Cruce (1579-1580), as a result of which the Polish province with 140 monks, including 15 in Mogiła, was established
During the Polish-Swedish wars (1655-1660), the convent got dispersed. In 1655 there was a fire which destroyed all the cloistral constructions; unfortunately it was not the only fire during this war.
The institute of philosophy in Mogiła in which monks from other orders could study was established as Abbot Paweł Piasecki's (1624-1649) initiative and it survived until provincial college was opened in 1718.
Provincial capitulary in Sulejów (1716) decided that the abbey in Mogiła would be used as a House of Studies for the Polish cloisters. At the moment when the Provincial College was established all the abbey's buildings became the property of the cloister, whereas August II in 1738 decided what would happen to the landed property.
The Partitions made it difficult for the Provincial College to work properly, and its downfall was on 17th September 1819. It was reopened in 1951. Thanks to the efforts of father Augustyn Ciesielski, the later abbot, and Father Andrzej Kolasa, the abbey of Mogiła became a very important centre of the revival of the Cistercian province in Poland. The turn of the 18th and the 19th centuries was a gradual process of liquidation of the cloistral properties.
In the 19th century Mogiła's cloister, the only one apart from Szczyrzyc, was not suppressed but was included in the Austrian congregation of Mehreau.
In 1950 the country took over all the cloistral goods and the Order started to be occupied with other things.
The abbey today
The abbey of Mogiła is one of two, next to Szczyrzyc, which in the 19th century was not suppressed. The Cistercian Fathers have been in Mogiła since 1225. The architectonical complex is composed of Basilica, cloister, abbatial palace, priorate and farm buildings. On the western side of the there is a late-gothic wooden church of St. Bartholomew and a bell tower from 1752.
The cloistral building in the south-east part is joined with the abbatial palace and priors' house. The eastern wing has vestry, warehouse, abbatial hall ( auditorium-the place of audiences, now academic chapel), hall and chapterhouse from 1670 (with 10 morality plays showing the lives of the Cistercian monks from about 1600, on the doors leading to the chapterhouse there are figures of four Evangelists)
On the southern wings a so-called "Kominek" (small chimney) is situated. Previously it was a calefactorium and now it is a hall of student and teacher ministry; refectory from 1450-now it is a dining room. On the first floor there is a hall of debates which is called a hall of St. Bernard. Gallery's vault is covered with Stanisław Samostrzelnik's frescoes.
In a strong room they gathered liturgical vestments from the 12th and 13th centuries (chasubles, copes), liturgical vessels: chalice (from 1644 and 1645), communion pyxes (from the 17th and 19th centuries), and a chalice from the 17th century. Next, there is a door to the 16th century library. It is one of two libraries that have survived in the same original form. This library has many valuable collections: the oldest handwritten and printed objects are from the 15th century, apart from that there are liturgical works: missals, Plasters, lectionaries, antiphonaries, graduals, and monastic observances. The whole is surmounted with a gothic vault decorated with Stanisław Samostrzelnik's frescoes. He was a Cistercian from Mogiła and an artist.
There are also Renaissance and Baroque tombstones and paintings.
Cloistral church of Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Wacław is from the first half of the 13th century. It is one of the oldest brick buildings in Poland. In 1970 Pope Paul IV gave it the title of Minor Basilica.
From the earliest period there is only a brick piscina in one of the southern twin chapels and a small number of tiles from presbytery which are now kept in the cloister's collections.
In the inside of the church there are numerous paintings and epitaphs from the 16th to 18th centuries and mensa with traceries and Odrowąż's blazons.
Presbytery, transept, and twin chapels are covered with a well-preserved Renaissance polychromy (2nd quarter of the 16th century) made by Stanisław Samostrzelnik.
The original organs from 1730, destroyed by the time have not been renovated. The present ones are from 1927 and were made by Stanisław Tobola. In the centre of high altar there is a gothic triptych from 1514 and in its centre a statue of Mother of Jesus with Infant Jesus.
There are also other important monuments, such as, triptych from 1497(Silesian), late-baroque stalls in presbytery, stalls in the Chapel of Holy Cross (1650) and forged gilt grill from the 1st half of the 17th century. In the baroque altar in the Chapel of Miraculous Jesus Christ there is a miraculous sculpture of Jesus on the Holy Cross (second third of the 14th century) which is a destination of numerous pilgrimages and is an object of religious cult.

Problems with Water Quality Contamination near Gas and Oil Drilling Sites
The rapid expansion of the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) industry in West Virginia during the extraction process of oil and natural gas has greatly increased the potential for contamination from the chemicals used throughout the process of our ground water aquifers, wells, and local waterways such as rivers and streams.
In one of the most aggressive public outreach programs in environmental protection history, the EPA is studying the potential effects of hydraulic fracturing on water quality.
According to the Huffington Post, "The EPA is studying the possible impact on drinking water at several stages of the fracking process: when water is drawn from reservoirs or underground sources and used for fracking; when a chemical mix is injected into the ground to break up rock; when wastewater from fracking is disposed of; how the drilling wells and wastewater-storage wells are constructed; and the potential for toxic fluids to migrate from deep underground to near-surface drinking water supplies." The one contentious issue the EPA does not seem to be addressing is how often this contamination may occur.
Before a gas or oil well can begin producing, each horizontal Marcellus well needs between 2.4 and 7.8 million gallons of fresh water. This water, which is pumped from streams, aquifers, rivers, or municipal supplies is mixed with sand and chemicals. It is then injected into the well bore under high pressure, and force is enough to fracture the shale and stimulate oil or gas flow.
As this oil or gas starts flowing, the fracking fluid mixture is forced back up from the earth along with other substances picked up from deep in the ground like heavy metals, brine, and their breakdown products. This is referred to as flowback. The Marcellus shale region contains a higher than average amount of uranium which emits a small amount of naturally occurring radioactivity. During this process, spilled fracking fluid can seep down through the soil into wells, aquifers, and streams.
So, most of the concern about water contamination is not about what goes down into a drilling well, but about what comes out or stays underground. A single well can yield several million gallons of waste which must then be contained and disposed. Some wells are producing this wastewater faster than companies can legally get rid of it.
Recently, in Pennsylvania criminal charges were filed by the PA Attorney General against a waste cleanup firm and its owner for improperly disposing of toxic natural gas drilling waste. Witnesses told a grand jury that between 2010 and 2013, employees washed out trucks or equipment containing drilling wastewater, mud or cuttings onto the ground at company properties in Harrisburg and Milton. Prosecutors say they have evidence it drained into a small waterway by the Harrisburg property. They also say drilling waste was stored in leaking containers on company properties. Charges also include insurance fraud and overbilling.
When these flowback fluids are released into waterways, they can clog machinery, and change the color, taste, and odor of drinking water. According to a report by the Center for Environmental Health, twenty-five percent of the chemicals used in fracking are known to cause cancer. Residents living near these drilling sites have been found to have a greater incidence of respiratory and neurological problems. Recent studies conducted by researchers from the Endocrine Society's Endocrinology found elevated levels of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, or EDCs. The chemicals have been linked to infertility, birth defects, and cancer.
Horizontal hydraulic fracturing has really taken off in the past three to four years. For this reason, we are just now seeing verdicts and settlements related to damages to people and their land which have been linked to fracking operations. In April 2014, the first jury verdict in a case against a drilling company awarded a Texas family three million dollars for the detrimental and debilitating effects of the drilling operation on their 40 acre ranch, animals, and health.
This family was forced to evacuate their property after suffering classic symptoms of hydrocarbon exposure such as nausea, rashes, headaches, ear ringing, nose bleeds, asthma, and depression. Their cattle were also becoming ill and produced at least one calf with a birth defect.
The family's attorney, David Matthews commented to the press, "If you are going to be in the fracking industry, you have to do it safely, and you have to do it with care to your neighbors," he says. "I think this may well bring out other people that will stand up for themselves." "This should be a bit of a wake-up call to the industry."
One possible solution, albeit expensive, is using closed-loop drilling operations which involve reclaiming the flowback in steel tanks and then recycling on site. This process requires costly technology, logistics, and equipment, but this cost is somewhat offset by the savings of withdrawing and trucking millions of gallons of water to remote sites.
In the course of any industrial process where human error and machine or equipment malfunctions could occur, accidents and spills will happen. Experience in the industry has shown that pumps and tanks can fail. The seals between the wellbore wall and natural rock are not perfect and sometimes leaves small channels through which gas and liquid can escape. Pipe couplings can fail, and in one case between 7,000 and 8,000 gallons of fracking fluid escaped. Pit liners can also develop leaks and tears, and flowback storage tanks have been known to leak.
Property owners are not the only ones affected by toxic exposure to flowback materials. Even more at risk are the employees and contractors working directly with the wastewater and the dangerously high levels of hydrocarbons contained therein. These hydrocarbons can affect the eyes, lungs, heartbeat, and nervous system.
In addition to the toxic exposure risk, two studies from Duke University have concluded that there is evidence of methane contamination in local water supplies. In such areas, methane has always been located near the wells, but researchers have presented a strong case for methane migration resulting from the disturbances in the strata from fracking which greatly worsen any problems which may have already been present. There are problems in proving the cause of methane migration, which is complicated by the fact that it can be caused by abandoned coal mines and seams, garbage dumps, landfills, swamps, and septic systems.
One problem with the rapid growth of Marcellus Shale development has been a lack of DEP inspectors to cover all the new well sites. Lacking the staff to oversee each site, inspectors must trust that the companies will properly case, monitor, and control their wells. In the first few months of 2014, 230 new wells have been approved, with many more approvals in the near future. Some fear permits are being issued faster than regulators can keep up with them on the ground.
In 2007-2009, eighteen inspectors in West Virginia were charged with overseeing more than a thousand new wells, with thousands more recently permitted wells coming online, as well as thousands of older wells. New inspectors have been hired, but it is much easier to issue a permit than to conduct the inspections. The state now has more than 50,000 gas wells, with just shy of 1,000 in the Marcellus shale with 21 inspectors.
Medical care for serious illnesses linked to fracking can be expensive. In addition to the health provider and pharmaceuticals needed for treatment for these individuals and families, some familial units have found it necessary to move away from the contaminated area, losing their investments in real estate as well as the value of the "sweat equity" they have put in over the years to build up and develop their property.
The Bottom Line
If you believe you have been adversely impacted by exposure to fracking fluids in your water supply, you may be able to seek compensation through the courts to hold these companies accountable for the harm which they have caused. A legal settlement or court verdict could supply the funds needed for ongoing medical monitoring and treatment as well as compensation for past injuries and suffering.

Tim Brook will reunite with his Formula Vee title-winning crew for the 2017 Toyota 86 Racing Series.
The Oran Park resident finished the inaugural series fourth in the standings last year.
Brook has previously been crowned Formula Vee series winner at state and national level.
"I've got David and Jason Cutts helping me this year," the 30-year-old explained.
"David helped me win my first State Championship in Formula Vee back in 2013.
"Then, jumping in the new Jacer for 2014 and 2015, we won an Australian title together, so it's good to continue that relationship."
Brook will continue to be backed by car owner Ultimate Karting Sydney, and hopes to build on a 2016 in which he scored four podiums among 11 top five results.
"We had a strong year last year. We'll just try and keep the top fives rolling and obviously that first win wouldn't go astray either," he added.
The five-round series begins at the Phillip Island Super Sprint from April 21-23.

Last Night In Doha! 2019 IAAF World Athletics Championships
Lelisa Desisa Is The First Ehiopian World Marathon Champion Since 2001
Doha, Qatar
October 5th, 2019
Day Nine of these 2019 IAAF World Athletics Championships featured many anticipated finals. Miles away from the festive crowds and bright lights of Khalifa International Stadium, 73 intrepid distance runners were preparing to compete in one of those finals: the men's marathon to be staged along Doha's famous Corniche, one the most striking city backdrops in the Middle East.
The loop marathon course set out for both genders is really striking. The start line is set 195 meters behind the finish line which is situated right in front of covered VIP seating accommodations. After the opening 195 meters, the competitors navigate 6 repetitive loops of the 7 kilometers. The 42.195 kilo Corniche course – a flat, freshly-paved roadway – would normally be a track conducive to fast times – except for the expected incredible heat.
But after a week of barely tolerable weather with temperatures approaching 110 degrees Fahrenheit with high humidity, the athletes competing in the men's marathon received a break. As if through divine intervention, race day arrived with the usual high temperatures, but with humidity levels of 45% - as opposed to the 85% humidity that plagued the women's marathon. Perhaps the men would race in weather conditions that were merely challenging, not impossible.
There had been much pre-race speculation about which marathoners should be viewed as favorites. While all entrants were expected to struggle in the heat, no one doubted that the East African and Middle Eastern athletes who live and train in sultry, steamy environments would be better suited to perform more near their potential in these oppressive weather conditions.
Just before midnight, the men's marathon got underway as the field launched out into the darkness. Immediately, Paraguayan athlete Derlys Ayala went to the lead and broke away from the field. By 1 kilometer [15:06] the 29-year-old had a one minute lead. Meanwhile the chase pack of nearly 50 was led by 2-time Boston Marathon champion Lelisa Desisa. With water bottles and sponges flying at every aid station, the chase horde kept the Paraguayan pacesetter in sight as the leader hit 10K in 30:40. The top competitors joined Desisa at the front of the chase pack, including former Olympic and world marathon champion Stephen Kiprotich, defending champion Geoffrey Kirui, Scottish marathon record holder Callum Hawkins, and Ethiopian Geremew, fresh off his 2:02:55 runner-up finish in last spring's London Marathon.
The occasional front running breakout and several lead changes at the front of the chase pack ensued until just around the one hour mark when 37-year old Eritrea athlete Zersenay Tadese threw down the first decisive move of the race. The 4-time world half marathon champion's surge strung out the pack and Ayala's lead was quickly reduced to 43 seconds. During the 69th minute and just before the end of lap 3, Tadese and 5 others swooped past Ayala and into the lead. Minutes later and just before reaching the half marathon mark Ayala, who reportedly ran a 2:10 marathon just two weeks prior to this championship race, called it a day and walked off the course.
Tadese's bold move coalesced a pack of 6, a front-running group that represented those with serious medal ambitions. At 25 kilos, the leaders were Tadese, the Ethiopians Desisa and teammate Geremew, Kenyan's Kirui and Amos Kipruto, and South African Stephen Moroka. One minute back and chasing the leaders was a 2nd group led by Great Britain's Hawkins. By 30K reached by Tadese's gang of 6 in 1:33:13, Hawkins' chase group had the cut margin to 13 seconds. The real racing was underway. At 35 kilos, Moroka was now in the lead as the front pack had dwindled to 5 with the Kirui sliding away to 9th. The defending champion would eventually finish 14th
Shortly after the bell rang at the start of the final 7 kilometer circuit, Tadese, the athlete whose bold move inspired serious racing nearly an hour before, lost contact with his lead group that had been whittled down to the South African Moroka, the Kenyan Kipruto, and the Ethiopians, Geremew, and Desisa. At 37 kilos, Desisa, sensing the endgame was here, moved into the lead. In the final 5 kilometers, the four leaders cautiously eyed one another, assessing the strength of their opponents and plotting their closing moves. But there was another athlete on the move. Quietly, Hawkins passed the struggling Tadese and set sail for the lead quartet just seconds away. The Scot was not yet done.
With less than 2 miles remaining, Hawkins not only caught the lead quartet, but he unhesitatingly moved through the pack to grab the lead. At 40 kilometers passed in 2:04:24 with little more than a mile remaining, it was 4 Africans and the Scot poised to battle for the medals. The South African was first to lose contact and shortly thereafter Hawkins, spent after his long heroic grind to the front, let go next. Sensing weakness, the veteran Desisa made the decisive move that would drop Kipruto, prompting finish line cheers from the Ethiopian contingent which knew it would now have the first Ethiopian marathon gold medalist since 2001. But who would it be – Desisa or Geremew? One final turn of the screw by Desisa forced separation from his countryman as the 2013 world champion runner-up would at last cross the world championship finish line first [2:10:40] for the gold. 4 seconds later Geremew crossed 2nd followed by Kipruto [2:10:51] in 3rd. Great Britain's Hawkins [2:10:57] was dealt a cruel outcome, once again finishing 4th, just missing a medal as the Brit did with his 4th place finish in the 2017 world championships. Moroka [2:11:03] hung on for 5th. "It was hot, but I prepared perfectly for this race," said the new champion afterwards. "I am very tired. But after I took silver in Moscow, this time I kept my power better." A crestfallen 4th place finisher, Hawkins shared his feelings. Maybe I just gave too much in the middle stages. But I couldn't do any more."
As was the case in the women's marathon, a good number of the top U.S. men marathoners elected to bypass these world championships either to compete later this fall in more lucrative marathons staged in more accommodating weather conditions or to engage in additional, focused preparation for the USA Olympic marathon trials at the end of February, or both. The American trio of Ahmed Osman, Elkanah Kibet, and Andrew Epperson performed nobly. Osman, who trains in Flagstaff, Arizona and ran a PR 2:14:40 to place 6th in the 2018 Chicago Marathon, was the first American across the line, finishing 23rd in 2:16:22. "I was just consistently trying to move my way up. I wanted to put myself in a good position which I did in the beginning," said the San Diego native. "But I got cramps and I was just maintaining my place all the way to the end. I was in great shape coming in. It was just the weather conditions, you know? It's not about the time. It's just about competing." Kibet finished 38th in 2:19:33 and Epperson crossed 46th in 2:23:11]. The American trio was among the 55 athletes of the initial starting field of 73 who finished this world championship final. / Dave Hunter /

6 September 2014, Adaaran Hudhuran Fushi Resort-Maldives: In an exciting 35 minute finale to three days of riveting competition at the inaugural Maldives Open 2014, Bali's Garut Widiarta defeated the Maldives number one ranked surfer Hussain Areef in lined up 3-4 foot Lhohis perfection to claim victory.
" I was nervous going into this final against Iboo for sure," said Widiarta after the final. "He was surfing really well and a local is always touch to beat at his home place. I'm super stoked to win of course, but I kinda wish he could have won too you know? It would have been really great for him in front of all his friends…but there can only be one winner right, so I'm happy it's me", said Widiarta with a big smile. "This wave and the place has become one of my favorite spots…its such a perfect place for a contest and this wave lets you do whatever you want…how good is it?" he added.
Hussain "Iboo" Arref was not at all disappointed with his runner up finish, saying "I'm still kind of in shock about this whole thing, I never expected to get into the final with all these Bali boys in the contest. I'm really stoked about second place, it was so much fun to be out there in heats with guys like Raditya, Rahtu, and Garut, I learned a lot just competing with them and I can't wait til next year to do it again!"
In the Women's Division final it was 2013 ASC Women's Champion Rina Kitazawa from Japan getting the win over local favorite and resort surf guide Amy Kotch (USA), Cloud Nine's Nilbie Blancada (PHL), and 5-time Indonesian Women's Champion Yasnyiar "Bonne" Gea (INA). She admitted that she didn't expect to win the event, as the wave is a left and she is a naturalfooter. "I didn't think I would win, as there was Amy and Bonne who were goofyfooters and they are such good and experienced surfers, much older than me. But the wave is so good here and I got a few nice waves, so in the end I could win," she explained.
The Bodyboarding Division was taken out by Gavin Botha (South Africa), who works on a neighboring island. "A friend told me about this contest and told me I should enter….I usually surf alone so I thought it was a good way to meet some other bodyboarders who I could surf with. I didn't really expect to win, although when you enter a contest in the back of your mind of course you want to win, right? So I'm very happy to win and equally happy to have made lots of new friends," said Botha.
The three-day event will conclude tomorrow afternoon with the grand closing awards presentation, which is expected to be attended by non other than the President of the Maldives himself! It will truly be a historic milestone for surfing and bodyboarding in the Maldives, and a diamond in the crown of Asian surfing.
With a perfect location at the Maldives most consistent surfing wave, the Adaaran Huduhuran Fushi Resort has to be the best place in Asia to stage a surfing and bodyboarding competition.
Thanks so much to the Maldives Body Boarding Association for making this all happen, and to the Maldives Minister of Tourism and all the event sponsors for their tremendous support!

How Is It?
Far from the crowded parts of Ladakh, Hemis Shukpachan exists as a demure little traditional Ladakhi village. The adjacent hills and valleys are great for trekking and are known to be home to snow leopards and other wildlife.
Hemmed to the great Himalayan mountains are two more villages called Ulley and Yangthang, around which snow leopards are known to make their way down the steep slopes to mate, making winter the best time for spotting one. About 4000 metres above sea level, the area around this small village is also known to foster a wide array of Himalayan wildlife.

Hemis National Park, where the highest density of snow leopards is believed to exist along with several other endemic wild beings, is the only national park that's in northern Himalayas. The scenic snow-capped mountains inside the park set a great backdrop for wildlife photography and for eyes that relentlessly seek beauty.
The peaks and slopes bathed in snow, the picturesque valleys and the eternal dramatic skies of Ladakh compose a breathtaking landscape in which photographers can seek respite anytime they wish to. Sprinkle some wildlife into the scene, and that's a perfect nature-lover's haven.
What You Will See and Photograph:
Identified as the flagship species for the high-altitude Himalayas, the snow leopard has been a phantom feline that has made its very pursuit an exhilarating experience for humans. This crepuscular carnivorous cat has its home range of up to 1,000 square kilometres, and is solitary, a trait which makes its presence before us that much more precious.
And to photograph one in its jagged, rocky habitat can soften your being into nothing more than a blob of intense emotions – the sort of humbling reduction that only making art can bring to us.
There is a furry little being covered with what seems like a well-groomed, modish thick woolly coat that helps it withstand the harsh climate in the cold, cold mountains. The Tibetan wolf is an exotic endemic species you would want to look out for to photograph when you are in Ladakh.

Inhabiting the high elevations of the Himalayas is also the gorgeous Asiatic ibex, and snow leopard happens to be its primary predator. Its majestic horns with circular rings around them brings grandeur to the ibex, making it a truly photogenic mountain goat.
Wearing the mingled reddish-brown shade of the mountains is the lovely Ladakh urial, the wild sheep species that lives in part of the Himalayas. Like the ibex, the urial, too, flaunts its great curved horns, each one thus a royalty in its own right, making itself a great subject for wildlife photography. The Himalayan blue sheep, also known as the bharal or naur, is capable of excellent camouflage, to tease the vigilance of your photographer-eye.
Imagine a four-legged, furry red creature sprinting or strolling against the blank whiteness of the snow. The pretty red fox, locally known as the Watse (in the Ladakhi language), is known be highly active during dawn and dusk, making it a great mammal in its reddish glory to be photographed in the golden light of mornings and evenings.
Keep your eyes peeled for adorableness whenever you come across burrows, rock crevices and tree trunks. For there might be a cute little mountain weasel (also called the pale weasel, Altai weasel or solongoi) or a pika there when you are least expecting to see one, and you wouldn't want to miss making images of it for the world.
This part of Ladakh rears rare and magnificent birdlife, too. Among other avian creatures, be vigilant to the beauty that the raptor golden eagle is. This bird of prey, used in falconry, can never cease to be a wildlife photographer's muse. The chubby little chukar is another delightful bird you can look out for when you are roving in the great mountains in search of winged wonders.

The Ulley-Yangthang-Hemis Sukpachen area consists of several valleys like the Akheyur Valley, Spango Valley and villages like Sumdo and Saspoche etc. For the next four days, we will be staying at Ulley or any other village depending on the latest sighting report and keep scanning the valleys and adjacent hills in search of the snow leopard, following the popular signs it leaves behind – pugmarks, kills and territory markings.
Other than the snow leopard, the area also has a good population of the Asiatic ibex, the Ladakh urial, the red fox, the Tibetan wolf, the mountain weasel, the pika and the gorgeous golden eagle.
Depending on the latest sighting reports, our breakfast and lunch will be arranged in the field. In the evenings, we return to the homestay and camp overnight in Ulley.

Frequently Asked Questions
Toehold Photo Travel vs Vacations
While Toehold Photo Travel is one of our most popular offerings, we work as a travel agency without bringing the photography guide element in to your travel. In short you would be using our travel experts service to just plan the vacation and execute it.
- Unlike a Photo Travel experience, your Vacation is completely personalised.
- The dates, style of travel, class of hotels and lodges, destinations, everything is tailor-made to suit your custom requirement.
- A Skipper or a photography guide doesn't travel with you to guide you unless you decide to take our customised and guided photo travel experience.
So take advantage of the immense experience and field knowledge that we bring in to your Vacation's planning without having to pay for our time and costs. Plus, we don't charge an additional fee for our time and travel planning services.
What are the requisites to participate in this tour?
Apart from interest in wildlife photography, adventure travel or exploration, a minimum level of fitness is essential. If you're unsure of your fitness or suffer from chronic altitude sickness or a known illness, please consult your physician before signing up for this Tour.
Why is fitness required for this Tour? What will be the climatic conditions?
Conditions on this Expedition will be harsh and challenging. Nighttime temperature can plunge to a testing -30° celsius, with the mercury hovering between -15° and -10° by day. Good cold resistance and dedicated cold-weather clothing is therefore absolutely essential on this Expedition. Please talk to us to know more.
I am a newbie in nature photography. Am I eligible?
Absolutely! This Tour is meant for fledgling as well as experienced photographers. Beginners get all the advantages of learning on and off the field from Toehold's eminent Skippers. In fact if you are a newbie, you should jump on this terrific learning opportunity and sign up right away! However, in order to make the most of the Tour photographically, we recommend that you be familiar with photography fundamentals. If you're not, we suggest you join an Art and Science of Photography Workshop before the Tour.
What are the chances of sighting a snow leopard on this Tour?
Although the snow leopard is very much an inhabitant of the regions we will be visiting, a sighting of it is highly unlikely due to the time of the year and the altitudes we will be restricting ourselves to.
Who can be a part of this Tour?
Any individual above the age of 18 (unless accompanied by a parent or guardian) who has the requisite fitness to complete the Tour can participate.
What equipment do you suggest on this Tour?
Since most or all of the snow leopard sightings, if we're fortunate to have them at all, are likely to be from afar, carry the longest focal length lens possible, along with a telephoto zoom such as the 70-200mm for compressed landscapes and contextual portraits of other animals. A wide-angle lens to portray the breathtaking landscape is absolutely essential. Keep your gear as light as you can, considering the tough conditions. Also carry plenty of protection for your gear from snow and rain. Visit our Rental Store to see what we offer.
How different are your Photo Tours from ordinary tours?
Unlike travel agents who plan your holiday from a remote destination to places they sometimes haven't experienced themselves, Photo Tours offer a comprehensive toehold to experience a place through the guidance of a professional photographer. The common ingredients in all our Photo Tours are fun and a lot of learning and knowledge-sharing. Besides, most or all of our Tour participants are photography enthusiasts, which keeps the group in harmony and helps make your experience focused.

Google has said it was launching a radio-style, on-demand audio news feed available on smart speakers, personalized with the help of artificial intelligence.
The technology giant said it had associations with in excess of twelve news organization to convey an audio feed in the same way from its cell phone newsfeeds.
"This new experience will present to you an audio news playlist gathered at that moment, for you," Google product director Liz Gannes said in a blog.
"It begins with a briefing of best stories and updates on topics you care about and extends into longer-form content that dives further into more stories."
Google Assistant, the AI program created by the organization, will manage the feed, enabling users to skip a story, return or stop.
The project aims to change audio news into a Netflix-like experience, available on demand with personalized recommendations.
"For the best century, radio has been a one-size-fits-all medium," Gannes composed.
"Turn on the radio and you're dropped into a show at a moment in time 1 regardless of what you already know, where you are, or what you're interested in.
"Imagine instead if you could have your own radio, one that is accessible on-demand, available consistently, and realizes you news the world and your interests."
The new project build on Google's existing endeavors to deliver news over its speakers and cell phones and comes amid a broad effort by news organizations and tech firms to develop more voice services.
The audio news feature will roll out first to a limited number of people using the Google Assistant in the United States in English, the company said.

Leagues. Operation "Shining"
Mysterious spatial tunnels leading to various locations of space have been detected in the "Shining" zone. Their research has shown that control over them is a very profitable business since portals lead to resource-rich sectors.
To control the tunnels you need to capture the beacons in the location to which they are currently tied.
Mercenary teams have begun an active struggle for resources and control over the https://star-conflict.com/en/news/1756-important-update-banned-equipment-in-leagues-en wormholes. It turned out that the passage through them blocks high-tech equipment, weapons and ships. Pilots will have to fight on the few available ships that can pass through the protective field of wormholes. The list of banned ships and equipment can be found here.
The fight has begun! Only the strongest teams and the best pilots will be able to control the tunnels and get valuable resources!

Terriers cited as good value for money
The BBC has today released its 'Price of Football' independent survey, citing Huddersfield Town as the best value for money in the npower Championship!
Town's pricing category system, ranging from A* to PROMO, means that the cheapest adult match day ticket this season can be as low as £10 – well below the Championship average of £21.07.
The Terriers are one of only three Football League clubs to offer a match day for under £20, which includes ticket price, programme, a tea and a pie, alongside League 1 Sheffield United and League 2 Plymouth Argyle.
Only Sheffield United provide a cheaper match day experience in the entire Football League; a day out at Bramall Lane costs £17.20, 60p cheaper than Town's lowest price.
"We want to have flexibility in our prices and historically we have always had offers throughout the course of the season. This season we have formalised that offer and made a commitment in our pricing structure via the 'PROMO' category," Huddersfield Town Chief Executive Nigel Clibbens explained today.
"Clearly the PROMO category is not available every game, but it is one of the options to use throughout the season."

Dior Becomes First Luxury Brand To Sell Handbags On WeChat. Dior became the first luxury brand to sell its handbags on WeChat, a popular Chinese social messaging platform, earlier this week.
The brand made its iconic Lady Dior bag available on the platform on Monday for the upcoming Qixi, or Chinese Valentine's Day, on Aug. 9. Buyers were able to directly purchase and pay through WeChat, and on Tuesday, the bag was already sold out. "Since luxury brands can find their target consumers by big data of WeChat, the largest social network in China, it's easier for them to advertise and sell products on WeChat," Lu Zhenwang, an internet expert and CEO of the Shanghai-based Wanqing Consultancy, told China Daily. "Many luxury brands are operating under pressure, and they would like to open up the market through e-commerce platforms. Even if the sales were slow, they could achieve results through marketing and branding," he added.
Dior also made headlines in the U.S. earlier this week when it opened a new boutique in Atlanta. Yves Saint Laurent ad banned for using 'unhealthily underweight' model. An advert by the fashion company Yves Saint Laurent has been banned by the UK's advertising watchdog for using a model who appeared to be unhealthily underweight.
Gucci Among World's Hottest Fashion Brands, While Prada Cools. LONDON, United Kingdom — Gucci has been named one of the "hottest" luxury brands, while Prada and Giorgio Armani are "cooling" fast, according to a new report by Exane BNP Paribas.
The financial services firm assessed the "brand temperature" of luxury companies, based on the ratio between the editorial coverage they receive in print magazines, and their print advertising spend. Brands are ranked as "hot" if magazines give them more editorial space than their advertising spend should warrant, meaning they have more editorial coverage than print magazine advertisements — reflecting a "hot" level of appeal and desirability — whereas brands that fall below this ratio are "cold." Gucci's editorial value was up more than 15 percent for the first six months of the year, compared to the same period last year. Louis Vuitton and Chanel both also ranked as "hot," but their editorial value grew at a lower rate of between 0 and 15 percent, despite a high print advertising spend.

Without a doubt, gun control is currently one of the most contentious political issues. The overall murder rate has plummeted in the last quarter of a century. But any murder is an immense tragedy, and horrific mass shootings that have taken place recently have helped keep the gun control debate into the spotlight. There is another issue, however, that I would submit has more similarities to gun control than many people realize. This issue is capital punishment. Both issues revolve around increasing the power of the State in order to fight crime. The pro-government positions, support for stricter gun control and the death penalty, are believed by many Americans to be conducive to reducing murder, and politicians therefore promote them before for sincere reasons and to get votes. In fact, however, neither strict gun control (except for a few measures such as mandatory background checks) nor the death penalty actually deter murder, and the idea that they do rests on a misunderstanding of the way most killers function.
Perhaps no politician was better at appealing to voters on both gun control and the death penalty than Bill Clinton. In 1994, Clinton signed the federal ban on assault weapons that remained in place for ten years. In 1996, roughly six months before Election Day, Clinton signed the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act. One of the provisions of this bill expanded the number of crimes that the federal death penalty could be applied for from three to sixty. It does seem likely that political concerns at least played a role in Clinton's signing of the act. It had been introduced by Clinton's Republican opponent in the election, Senator Robert Dole, and Clinton likely did not want to allow Dole to run on the death penalty issue. Furthermore, Clinton was breaking the mold of a long string of Democratic candidates–Humphrey, McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis–who had gone on record opposing the death penalty and lost. He was returning the party to its pro-death penalty days, in which presidents like Jackson, Cleveland, and FDR had supported executing people. (The situations in which these presidents favored the death penalty varied immensely; as a judge, Jackson had handed out death sentences to horse thieves, while FDR had supported execution only in select cases.)
Strict gun control is generally understood to represent an expansion of power by the government and is almost universally opposed by libertarians. The reason why this is the case is such common knowledge that I do not feel the need to elaborate. The death penalty, however, is not as commonly understood to be a big government measure. In fact, however, the death penalty is a classic feature of an overly powerful State. In the first place, one has to invest a great deal of trust in the government to believe that it will never execute an innocent person. This is especially true when one considers that in Texas alone, 500 people have been put to death by the government in less than forty years, averaging to over thirteen people annually. Secondly, the death penalty is a classic case of the government making a rule and then claiming the power to disobey it. The government says that citizens cannot kill other people except in self defense, then executes people in cases clearly outside the realm of self defense. Some death penalty supporters realize this. The conservative Christian website, GotQuestions.org opines, "we must recognize that God has given government the authority to determine when capital punishment is due . . . Christians should never rejoice when the death penalty is employed, but at the same time, Christians should not fight against the government's right to execute the perpetrators of the most evil of crimes." Do you see all this talk about the special power and privileges of government? It is any wonder that the ACLU so strongly opposes the death penalty or that execution is so much more prevalent in totalitarian regimes than in democracies and republics?
Interestingly, in the case of both gun control and the death penalty, statistics do not conclusively support the idea that these authoritarian measures actually cut down on murder. For example, a law passed in California that limited the purchase of handguns to one a month was followed by a slight increase in the murder rate. Most alarmingly, the murder rate increase that followed the "one gun a month" law was the first increase in seven years. Similarly, the national homicide rate continued to rise after the passage of landmark federal gun control legislation in 1968.
When the death penalty was suspended in the United States from 1972-1976, the homicide rose from 1972-1974, but it had been increasing since 1964, when executions were still being practiced. In 1975, the homicide rate fell. In 1976, the year that the death penalty was reinstated, the homicide rate was lower than it had been in 1975. However, starting in 1977, the death penalty increased until the end of the decade. The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled capital punishment unconstitutional in the state in 1984, and the homicide rate continued to ebb and flow rather than increase. New York did not have a valid death penalty statute from 1972 to 1995. As in the case of Massachusetts, the homicide rate did not consistently increase. When the death penalty was once again rendered invalid in 2004, the homicide rate once again did not consistently rise. The same thing happened in Iowa and New Jersey. It should be noted that in a poll of police chiefs regarding the best way to reduce violent crime, less gun ownership came in second to last at three percent, with the death penalty coming in, no pun intended, dead last at one percent.
The primary problem with the idea that strict gun control measures and capital punishment deter murder is that both of these views misunderstand the way that most murders operate. Let's imagine two scenarios. In Scenario #1, Ted the Maniac wants to kill somebody. He isn't just talking or fantasizing due to frustration, he sincerely wants to end another human being's life. However, he lives in Texas, a state with a high execution rate. Given that he is a sensible, cautious man who gives a lot of thought to consequences, Ted decides not to commit a murder. In Scenario #2, Ted the Maniac also legitimately wants to kill somebody. But in this case, he lives in New Jersey, a state with very strict gun control laws. Ted feels he needs a gun to successfully carry out the murder. Being a law abiding citizen, Ted does not simply purchase an illegal gun and instead decides not to commit a murder. Both scenarios do not accurately reflect the thought processes of killers. A person willing to break a law against murder will have little problem breaking a law against owning a firearm. And while eliminating all guns would greatly reduce murder, severe legal restrictions on guns do not. Any time there is a ban on an object that people want, a black market crops up. Was Prohibition successful? Has the War on Drugs been successful at stopping people from using substances like heroin and crack? Likewise, most killers are not thinking rationally enough to consider what legal consequences await them if they are caught. How many people do you really think would commit murder if they both A) knew they were at serious risk of getting caught and B) feared the penalties if they were caught? I want to close with another statistic on the views of police chiefs. The same percentage of chiefs, sixty-nine percent, believed that pro death penalty politicians exploited the issue to get votes as believed that murderers did not consider the range of potential punishment before taking life. Sixty-six percent stated that it was not one of the most important law enforcement tools.
