photo-search display of former SS members at Karlburg.
It's not enough that every Jew who had lived in Europe during WW2 receives reparations, or that their allied henchmen destroyed German cities, killed millions of civilians, and spent the last 75 years terrorizing the western world with their Holocaust Hoax. No, they need to hunt down every last German soldier , and Waffen SS volunteer. If they are deceased then it is fair game to go after the elderly widows. That is what is happening as the Jewish vindictive revenge lust continues force itself on Germany and the European Union.
Jewish council president Josef Schuster told the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung newspaper (NOZ) Monday that German authorities had a responsibility toward Holocaust victims to trace remaining ex-Nazi pension recipients and take "conclusive" steps.
It was an "unbearable situation," said Schuster(((Oy Vey))), referring to a recent German government statement that more than 2,000 elderly, including deceased soldiers's widows, still benefited from Germany's Federal Pension Act (Bundesversorgungsgesetz).
Responding in February to a Left party question in the Bundestag parliament, the German government argued that it was difficult to identify war criminals, since pension documents did not include information on what the pensioners did or did not do during the war.
Since 1998, the act's Article 1a proscribes intensive checks and denial of payment if the would-be beneficiary's or widowed partner's conduct had "violated the principles of humanity or the rule of law," .You need to ask yourself , who's principles and who's laws?
For a discussion on this story, presented by Sven Longshanks and Carolyn Yeager, turn on the radio.

Ten days before Gerd's latest book was officially published, IEET Managing Director Steven Umbrello interviewed futurist and author Gerd Leonhard about his new book, Technology vs. Humanity. An excerpt:
Steven: "Is there a central message or philosophy in your book that you want all readers to grasp?"
Gerd: "Yes, there are quite a few… but here are 3:
a) we should embrace technology but not become it – because by becoming technology i.e. 'transcending humanity' as some singularity / post-human pundits are already proposing, we would actually be downgraded not upgraded. Echoing what Bobby Kennedy said about GDP, in the 1960s, I think that 'data and machines measure everything around us except that which makes us human'. Equally, technology will indeed make just about everything smarter (think smart phones, smart cities, smart homes, smart cars, smart farming etc) while us humans are apparently becoming dumber as we give / cede / merge / abdicate authority to machines that decide where we eat, who we hire or fire, who to kill (autonomous weapon systems) or when to change our baby's diapers (yes that was 2013!)."

You may have been driving, walking or biking one day and noticed a group of enthusiastic, red-shirted people with bikes on the corner. Congratulations! You spotted the DC Bike Ambassadors in their natural habitat. They were most likely talking to people about being safe on the street. Maybe they were passing out bike lights to bicyclists. Or perhaps they shared a flier with you about upcoming bike events around town. DC Bike Ambassadors are volunteers who love bicycling and want to bring the benefits of bicycling to their communities. But the best part is, you can be one too!
Want to be a Bike Ambassador? Yes!
This year, we are adding another layer to the work of DC Bike Ambassadors. We want to spend more time in communities typically underserved by WABA and by the bicycling improvement efforts in the District. This includes communities in Wards 4, 7 and 8, seniors, the Spanish speaking community, deaf bicyclists, and blind bicyclists.
We'll better engage with these communities by hosting rides and events, tabling at expos, fairs and festivals, and being present for community meetings that affect these communities. We'll also work to build relationships with organizations in these communities to reach their members and share WABA's resources with them. Finally, we'll be biking with our public awareness trailer (if you see us, say hello!), volunteering our time with other organizations, and connecting them with the people they serve.
We want DC Bike Ambassadors to be a reflection of the region's growing bicycling community; including all communities is key.
If you want to be part of this movement to attract more diverse bicyclists to the biking community, please sign up for our bi-monthly newsletter to learn more about our upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.

Fleas are a common pest in the Orange, CA area and typically for pet owners. They can be a very frustrating pest to deal with and because we understand this we encourage you to call us to help you remove them.
Fleas will suck the blood of humans and animals, jumping from host to host. They have flat bodies and are hard to catch and kill because they're quick.
Many times our customers discover a flea problem either through the bites on their bodies or the excessive scratching their pet has endured. Fleas can easily infest a room or area quickly and embed themselves in the carpet to lay eggs, causing a larger infestation than you started with.
Fleas Protection
Treating fleas is a tedious task if you use in-store products and they aren't always successful. Save your money, and time, by calling our Orange flea control exterminators today. We will take care of the problem for you, however if you do have pets it's important that you treat them for fleas as well. In order to completely exterminate fleas both home and pet must be treated. Give our Orange flea control exterminators a call at (714) 701-6917 today to learn more about our service.

This month, we decided to pair our classical Chardonnay with an equally elegant main course. But before we reveal our dish of choice, let's first raise our glass to a wine that has spent 11 months hidden in French Oak barrels, then another 10 months resting in cellars before finally revealing itself to the waiting world…
Awarded a silver medal at the Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards, its light straw colour belies a nose that seems older than its years – rich with butterscotch, vanilla and fresh pineapple notes.
Subtle and softer than some (perhaps more 'showy' Chardonnays), Uitsig's Reserve hints at more than simply the French Oak wooden barrels it was forged in. The sandstone soil its grapes arose from lend a delicate, mineral quality to the wine – adding yet another layer of intriguing complexity.
Amongst our table of three at Open Door, Neil used words like 'integrated' and 'full bodied' to describe this Chardonnay, whilst Jacques noted how the fruit and oak are well-balanced. Both admired the wine for being at once elegant and yet also abounding in citrus notes and marmalade details… apparently unique to this climate and area. With a nice acidity on the palate, this Chardonnay is far from flabby… it's vibrant acidity pulls together to create a smooth-as-silk mouthfeel.
As far as the 'Reserve' part of the wine is concerned, Jacques revealed that the very best bunches from the best parts of Uitsig's Chardonnay blocks are hand-selected and harvested in the early hours of the morning to guarantee cool, pristine fruit. Whole bunch pressing then ensures only the best, cleanest juice before a 24-hour settling period that further clarifies this would-be wine.
We all agreed that this is a serious 'food' wine – best enjoyed with a meal, not on its own. It would pair excellently with most chicken, salmon or duck dishes. But we decided to pair it with one of Open Door's very own specialties… quail. The hints of citrus hidden in both the dish and wine bring out the best in one another like only star-crossed lovers can.
So if you feel adventurous enough to try your hand at such a distinct dish, we managed to prize the secret recipe out of Neil. If however, you feel dizzy after simply reading it (and the ascribed amount of craft and care it requires), book a table at Open Door, order a bottle of Uitsig Chardonnay Reserve 2014, and savour the strong emotions of well-being it's bound to illicit…

Have you made a decision to automate all your HR needs?
Yes. Perfect, now its time to find the best tool to do this job.
So here comes an HRMS system in the picture which can live up to your expectations and warrant your investment. The mantra is to select an HRMS that delivers all the right perks without wasting resources on unnecessary functions.
But this is not a definitive guide to every software out there in the market. This is just to shed some light on the few logical points to look out for along the way.
Before you invest in an HRMS consider these features:
1) Employee Database:
A centralized employee database is the very need of the hour. It gives a leverage to HR and managers to make better decisions. It ensures that the data is accurate, consistent and efficient.
It eliminates double effort by updating the changes in real time. The support can focus on a single product when the data is centralized.
2) Reports and Analytics:
This is one of the most important features to look out for in an HRMS. Reporting and analytics help in making rational, evidence-based choices and decisions. It helps in identifying the upcoming risks, finding new opportunities, monitoring the performance and tracking the developments. It gives you a whole picture of the steps to be taken in order to make your organization a better place to work for.
3) Employee Compensation:
If you are thinking of revamping your payroll system, purchasing an HRMS with payroll functionality will help your organization a lot. It makes planning a lot easier. You can easily manage leaves, absences, and overtime. You save a lot of time and money when you use software quickly and efficiently. You are always well informed about the latest tax and compliance updates. Most importantly you can remove the uncertainty of sharing your employee information with a third party.
4) Employee Self Service:
HR department is overloaded with lots of responsibilities, deploying an HRMS with ESS portal will reduce this burden to a great extent. The employees feel more engaged, empowered where they can easily manage their leaves, check their entitlements, are up to date with the policies and procedures of the organization and many more. It enables the HR department to focus on maintaining a happy and content workforce instead of admin tasks.
5) User-Friendly Interface:
Despite many basic similarities, every system is unique and it is the UI/UX which makes it stand out in the market. An intuitive system is easy to engage with, enables users to quickly accomplish tasks and enables a higher level of satisfaction. A system with a great user experience is cost effective as it reduces the cost of training by at least 50 %. It is one of the key factors to consider when test driving the new tool.
6) The Credibility of Customer Support:
It is rightly said that people buy from people they trust. The services provided before and after the purchase of an HR system is essential for the long-term success and partnership. Ask as many questions to the representative about how their company handles technical issues. Do a detailed study on their customer support to minimize future complications.
Other Additional features:
· Performance Management
· Onboarding and Recruiting
· Time and Attendance Tracking
· Learning and Development
Analyze, categorize, prioritize all your needs and requirements and make a well-informed choice.

FMP Travelling Blog - Day 3
For the third day, I travelled to see Mike Jones, a prosthetic users who is also the number 1 British and European disabled golfer. Travelling to South Wales, Mike wanted to show what his greatest passion was: Golfing.
He explains: "It was so traumatic. Your mind is whizzing at 100mph. I'm feeling my leg but it's not there, a phantom sensation. I struggled with this so badly. They tried all different drugs with it. Nothing helped. I came very close in hospital to a breakdown. I remember one evening banging my fists on a tray, holding the buzzer and the nurse came in and said 'What's going on Mike?' I don't like asking anyone for anything and I was trying, but I lost it. I was screaming at the top of my voice, you either have to get me out of this room or give me something to put me to sleep… I thought I was going mad."

PR(01)08: Restrictions on the acquisition of waterfalls in Norway questioned by the EFTA Surveillance Authority
On 27 June 2001, the EFTA Surveillance Authority decided to send a letter of formal notice to Norway questioning its compliance with EEA rules on the freedom of establishment and the free movement of capital in respect of the acquisition of waterfalls for the production of energy.
According to the Norwegian Act No. 16 of 14 December 1917, the acquisition of waterfalls by other persons than the State is subject to a concession. In principle, concessions are granted for a limited period of time up to a maximum of 60 years. At the end of that period, undertakings are obliged to return all installations to the State without compensation. However, this rule does not apply to municipalities, counties or State-owned undertakings, as defined by the Norwegian Act, including limited liability companies where the State owns 2/3 or more. Such undertakings have the right to unlimited concessions.
In the Authority's opinion, the very existence of the difference in treatment between Norwegian public undertakings which enjoy concessions for an unlimited period of time, and private undertakings which are only granted concessions for a maximum of 60 years and which must return all installations to the State without compensation at the end of the period, only favours undertakings of Norwegian nationality. This rule is contrary to freedom of establishment provided by Article 31 of the EEA Agreement. Moreover, the fact that the Norwegian Act allows situations where private undertakings may only, in some circumstances, run the concession for a limited period of time may deter investors from acquiring shares in those undertakings, contrary to the provisions on the free movement of capital (Article 40 of the EEA Agreement).
In the Authority's opinion, Norway has not demonstrated that these restrictions are justified for objective reasons.
The Norwegian Government has been invited to submit its observations to the content of the letter of formal notice within three months of its receipt. In light of these observations the Authority will consider whether to proceed with the case.
For further information please contact Mr. Peter Dyrberg (Director of Legal & Executive Affairs), telephone (32)-02-286-1830.

The days are getting shorter and the temperatures are slowly sinking. Now is the time to keep an eye peeled for fungus. Especially Brown Patch. Brown Patch will affect all types of grass but really likes St Augustine. The best ways to prevent Brown Patch (other lawn fungus as well) are modifying the way we fertilize, water, mow and maintain the mower.
You should have already fertilized but if not stay away from water-soluble nitrogen (fast release), instead look for water-insoluble nitrogen (slow release or time release). During cool weather we should only water in the morning and never in the evening. This also goes for spring. At the first sign of brown patch start bagging the lawn. The final step is mower maintenance. (Important safety tip to follow) With the mower turned off spray the tires, blades and under side of the deck with a 50% mixture of water and bleach. This will kill any attached fungal spores and keep it from spreading. Let it dry for about 20 minutes and you are good to go.
Detecting a fungal problem early makes it much easier to cure.

We are all perfectly made by our creator, GOD. As babies, we lived a very healthy lifestyle. As we get older and take our health into our hands, we make poor decisions. With the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives, our health is sometimes the last thing on our minds, it is always easier to choose food on-the-go than prepare a meal at home. Most of us realize the damage we are doing when it is too late. When we are suffering from obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and others to name a few.
I don't think we have to take medication to be healthy.

Jagged Dreams targets two social evils, homophobia and incest, and though it is also about love and commitment, its greatest contribution lies in the intelligent and sensitive handling of the issue of abuse. In spite of its serious exposition of such topics, Jagged Dreams is also a sexy tale of lesbian lust and love. It is a romance novel tightly wrapped inside a 'whodunnit', a novel that offers something to everyone without weakening any of its parts.
Sexual violence, emotional violence: for most of the thirty-odd hours since Tamara, a victim of a random attack, collapsed in the grounds of a deserted parking lot somewhere in an Australian city, her thoughts are a shaken and stirred cocktail of memories, stretched and distorted by the warped reality of dreams and nightmares.
Yet, despite the dark thread of violence woven through the novel, one of its most lyrical moments occurs only hours after Tamara becomes the unwitting witness to the ugliness of sexual abuse.
It is in the vineyards of Bordeaux – Marielle is eighteen and straight. Tamara, at twenty-four, is the older woman who, though she is terribly attracted to Marielle, understands that when the young woman eventually sneaks into her bed, snuggles against her and begins a dreamy exploration of her body, it is more an emotional connection Marielle is seeking than sexual gratification. Tamara intuitively recognises that Marielle's fragile psyche might construe any overtly sexual response on her part as yet another act of physical domination.
That night-time visit is a very touching, very tender moment because Tamara's sensitivity is, ultimately, what brings Marielle not only to survive the ritual of incest her father has been subjecting her to but also to find the strength to finally break free of him.
Jagged Dreams is a novel that brings hard-hitting issues to the romance genre without compromising it. Make no mistake, though it foregrounds violence, Jagged Dreams is really about love. And while real time is suspended for Tamara who drifts in and out of consciousness inside a hospital bed, the reader still has to work out whose act of violence has put her there and why.
C.C. Saint-Clair writes with luminous language and creates remarkably visual scenes. The topic of violence perpetrated against women in general, but more particularly against a strong cast of endearing lesbian characters – that spans five novels – is visibly one that preoccupies this author. Thus, her portrayal is always compassionate and moving, hard-hitting yet dreamy. It is romance with bite and substance. And with a great deal of style, too.
A genuinely great escape on rainy days.
A seriously engaging read on sunny days.

The Russian River Valley is a region rich in history. Grape growing and winemaking are integral to the story of the land. The valley is named for the first non-natives to settle in Sonoma County. The Russians, who settled along the Sonoma coast at historic Fort Ross from 1812 to 1841, left a significant impact on the area. They found this region optimal to hunt sea otters for their furs and to provide food and staples for Russian colonies in Alaska. Agriculture, including viticulture, was a primary goal in this endeavor and the fertile soils of the Russian River Valley provided a region apt for farming and sustaining their outposts.
During the 1830's, the Russian settlers ventured southeast from Fort Ross in search of more temperate agricultural regions. Outposts were established in the areas of Sebastopol, Graton and Freestone. Wine grapes planted at Fort Ross on the Sonoma coast, and subsequent vineyards started by the settlers throughout Sonoma County, took place well before the Gold Rush of 1849. Although we don't know exactly when the Russians first planted grape vines or if wine was actually produced from these plantings, we now believe those early plantings at Fort Ross were the first in Sonoma County. The Russians summarily abandoned their foothold in Northern California around 1841. The migration of subsequent settlers, many from wine-producing European countries, continued to develop this initial viticultural venture, establishing the foundation for what would become a flourishing industry within the Russian River Valley.
By 1876 viticulture was well established in the Russian River Valley. It is recorded that the region produced in excess of 500,000 gallons of wine, with about 7,000 vine acres planted. Larger wineries began to flourish, including The Santa Rosa Wine Company established in 1876, Martini & Prati Winery in 1880, Korbel Champagne Cellars in 1882 and Foppiano Winery in 1896.
During Prohibition, the Russian River Valley saw drastic changes and an overall decline in wine production. Many of the wineries that surfaced during the late 1800s and early 1900s did not survive the severe restrictions placed on all alcohol production and consumption.
From 1920 to1933 wine production was severely limited, forcing many wineries out of business. Those who wanted to continue to make wine legally were forced to produce only 200 gallons of non-intoxicating cider or fruit juice per year for household use; though some were brazen enough to disregard the production regulation. Prohibition ended in1933 with the repeal of the 18th Amendment; however, by then less than 50 wineries remained within Sonoma County.
The current era in Russian River Valley winemaking began in the 1960's when Bob Sisson, the University of California Farm Advisor for Sonoma County, began urging local growers to turn their focus toward cool climate grapes like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Smart farmers listened, and the rest is… history.
All wines start in the vineyard. In the Russian River Valley, individual vineyards are as famous as individual winemakers. The basic character of any vineyard is determined by two primary factors: weather and soil. Nothing can improve the almost perfect weather, and wine makers can be very careful with their land. And the more careful they are, the better the wine becomes.
A Cool Place to Grow Grapes
The Russian River Valley climate is sculpted by the regular intrusion of cooling fog from the Pacific Ocean a few miles to the west. Much like the tide, it ebbs and flows through the Petaluma Wind Gap and the channel cut by the Russian River. The fog usually arrives in the evening, often dropping the temperature 35 to 40 degrees from its daytime high. The fog retreats to the ocean the following morning. This natural air-conditioning allows the grapes to develop full flavor maturity over an extended growing season — often 15 to 20 percent longer than neighboring areas — while retaining their life-giving natural acidity.
Rocks Become Dirt
The geologic history of the Russian River Valley is both active and recent. The collision between the North American and Pacific tectonic plates caused the uplift of ancient bedrock, which then eroded. Within the last few million years the eruption of volcanic vents immediately to the east resulted in the deposition of volcanic ash on the shallow ocean bottom. The resulting sandstone gave the Russian River Valley what is known as "Goldridge loam soil."
Water flowing off of the Sonoma Mountain range carried with it eroded volcanic material, creating soils with large amounts of clay in the central portion of the appellation. Then, in what remains a major mystery to geologists, the Russian River, which once flowed south to what is now San Francisco Bay, changed course and headed west through the coastal foothills. Along its course it deposited large amounts of alluvial materials that are now river bench lands. Each of these different soils has a profound effect on wine produced from grapes grown in this soil.
The most widely planted are:
"The Queen of White Wines", Chardonnay is known for the Old World style of Chablis and the Cotes d'Or of Burgundy and the New World style reflected in the wines from warmer growing areas of California. Russian River Valley Chardonnays tend to split the difference. Over 6,000 acres of Chardonnay are under cultivation in the Russian River Valley.
Pinot Noir
A difficult grape to grow, this native of the Burgundy region of France achieves greatness in only a handful of places worldwide, and the Russian River Valley is one of those places. Our Pinot-perfect climate combined with an amazing complexity of soil types, results in wines that reflect their individual sites but share a common thread. In the Russian River Valley, over 4500 acres are dedicated to Pinot Noir production.
This heritage grape is widely planted throughout California. In the Russian River Valley, new Zinfandel plantings have joined vines planted as early as the late 1800s. Today, over 1100 acres of Zinfandel are cultivated in the Russian River Valley. Our long, cool growing season allows Zinfandel to achieve superb levels of ripeness.
There is substantial acreage in the Russian River Valley planted to Merlot yet most of our Merlot grapes are used to enhance Sonoma County Merlots and Meritage blends. However, Merlot shows its Russian River Valley pedigree when bottled on its own. Over 1000 acres of Merlot are cultivated in the Russian River Valley.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Although Cabernet Sauvignon is considered a warmer climate grape, our extended growing season allows Cabernet to achieve full ripeness but with less aggressive tannins than many other areas. Most of the Cabernet is planted in the warmer more northerly portion of the Russian River Valley, but scattered plantings occur in other areas in the Valley. Over 700 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon is planted in the Russian River Valley.
Sauvignon Blanc
With our long, cool growing season, Sauvignon Blanc enjoys the best of both worlds. The cool climate keeps the wines crisp and allows the natural character of cool climate Sauvignon Blanc to come through. Over 500 acres of Sauvignon Blanc are planted in the Russian River Valley. Note: Wine produced from this grape is sometimes called Fumé Blanc.
Syrah is also known as Shiraz, particularly in Australia. The climate in the Russian River Valley is much more akin to that of the northern Rhone Valley of France, its ancestral home, and the wines are stylistically similar to the wines from this region. In the Russian River Valley, over 80 acres of this unique varietal are cultivated.
Pinot Gris
A relative newcomer to the Russian River Valley, this white variant of Pinot Noir is ideally suited to our climate. Already, over 140 acres are planted to this varietal in the Russian River Valley. The Russian River Valley produces Pinot Gris more like the rich wines of the Alsace region of France than the Pinot Grigios of Italy. Pinot Gris is a grape varietal that often loses acidity quickly on the vine, but our cool nights allow it to develop its full flavor potential while maintaining acid levels.

Meet Ruben Enaje: The man who has been nailed to the cross annually for 32 years to re-enact Jesus Christ's crucifixion
Ruben Enaje is a Philippine man who has been nailed to a cross every Easter for the past 32 years in a Good Friday re-enactment of Jesus Christ's crucifixion who says he no longer feels any pain from his wounds.
The 58 year old actor again portrayed Christ on Friday in the traditional religious rite in Cutud village, about 76 km (47 miles) from the capital Manila. "In the past, I went home injured and limping, but this year I feel so great," Enaje said after the ritual held under a scorching sun.
He said he believed his strong Catholic faith helped him avoid pain. "I feel like he is telling me 'go ahead, keep it up'," he said, referring to God. Easter is a festival marking the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.

The longest lines in 2017I don't want to alarm you, but Harry Styles is on this list
When something is in high demand, people will be willing to line up for it. Below is a list of the longest lines anticipated for 2017, whether that's a single group of people waiting in one location or lines that spring up all over the world.
iPhone 8 launch, worldwide
Despite its rumoured USD1000+ price tag (ouch!) the iPhone 8 is expected to be the biggest smartphone launch in years. Lots of people who upgraded to an iPhone 6 have been putting off upgrading until the 10-year anniversary of the iPhone now they are ready to buy… well, line up first, but then buy.
Wimbledon tennis tournament, United Kingdom
It's a British institution – queueing I mean. Wimbledon isn't just about the tennis, but Pimm's and strawberries and cream too. The queue for on-the-day tickets is notorious – there's even an official guide to queueing. In 1991 the line for tickets stretched for 1.5 miles!
The Hajj, Saudi Arabia
Every Muslim is supposed to conduct the Hajj at least once in their lives if they're able, and the most wealthy sometimes do it every year! No surprise then that Mecca becomes one of the busiest cities in the world annually, leading to massive crowds and long, long lines.
Black Friday sales, United States
Black Friday isn't as big as it used to be, and a lot of the lines have been shrunk down thanks to digital sales. Even so, you can still see people lining up outside a local Best Buy or other outlet and running to snare a deal once the store opens. This isn't just a line, it's a cumulative lining up experience that the entire country goes through all at once. It brings us together… in a line… and that's beautiful.
Harry Styles on tour, United States
I don't want to alarm you, but Harry Styles is going out into the world to play music in front of audiences. Back when he was touring with One Direction they were some of the biggest and most enthusiastic crowds we'd seen, and it doesn't look like going it alone is dampening the enthusiasm. If you're going to see Harry in concert, get ready to line up and wait for a long time to get into that venue.

I live in Bomdo1 (http://tinyurl.com/bomdo-village), one of the oldest among the Adi community inhabited villages in central Arunachal Pradesh. There are several things I am interested in telling you about my tribe; we cultivate rice, millets, corn, vegetables and edible tubers in the slopes of the hills that surround our village, we follow the Donyi Polo religion and are basically animists. Though we don't have a written script for our language, we have names in our Adi language for everything you may see around our village and in the forests; different types of moths, birds, stones, trees, insects, bats, mammals and everything else.
I could go on and on but this account is mostly about a hunting trip I made to the banks of the Angong river. This year too as every year we have set up temporary hunting camps a days' walk away from the village. From the months November till February we venture fortnightly in small groups of three to four people into forests that extend from right below the 3000 m tall Mouling peak to those adjoining the mighty Angong river. During these five months we target large-bodied animals like barking deers, serows, wild pigs and bears and bring the meat back to the village for the Aran festival2 in the last week of February. In this festival its our custom to distribute meat to clan members. In Bomdo, we have the Panga, Medo, Lonchung, Duggong, Nyodo, Yalik and Tali clans, of which I belong to the first. My team has Petang and Sikung in it, both good companions, excellent hunters and good at carrying load, in case our catch is good.
We were planning our last visit to the Sipu camp on the banks of the Angong river hoping to get lucky since the meat we collected, meticulously smoke-dried and cached in our camp was raided by a sun bear and we lost most of it. The evening before we left, Tigbo, a friend of mine from Bangalore, casually asked me if he can join me. I've seen Tigbo walk the mountains around our village and I think he can endure the trek we plan, so I tell him to get ready by 3 am the next morning and to pack only essentials since it was going to be a long trek. It was February, the time of the year best suited for hunting; no dangerous snakes, no rain and a pleasant cold weather. I had laid three dozen cable wire slip knot traps a fortnight ago and was hoping to trap a few animals. We have to return every fortnight to make sure the animals caught in the traps do not get eaten by other meat eaters in the forest. Also, sometimes we abandon our catch since the animals get trapped and then get rotten.
The next morning at about 2.30 am, I reached Tigbo's place, a Forest Department Inspection Bungalow built over an abandoned graveyard. I was glad he was up and ready but was worried about his huge backpack; whether he can carry it to the Sipu camp on the banks of the Angong river and back. We started our uphill trek along a torch-lit path and I was quite impressed with the way Tigbo was climbing up the hill, much faster than us, but I was still wary about how long his beginner's luck would last. Two hours later we reached Yabo Roglé3, a resting place. Here we met another hunting party who had left earlier than us and from here on the eight of us were to walk till the Angong river together, for, our hunting camps are located close to each other.
After climbing down from Yabo Roglé, three more hills had to be crossed to get to Angong. By this time, Tigbo had mentioned that his knees were hurting and was lagging behind. By about 8 am, we had crossed another hill and it was time for breakfast. Tigbo was by then limping and complained that climbing down was getting tougher. We had our breakfast, took a half hour rest and carried on. Since our team was now lagging behind, the other team went on ahead and will probably hunt the animals they find on the way with the single barrel gun they carried. At about 10 am we heard three shots and we were sure the other team had brought down something. Ahead, we saw two dead capped langurs hung on a tree to be picked up by the team on their way back.
We crossed two large streams and two hills in the next two hours and by about noon we were on the banks of the Angong river. The camp was another four kilometers from here. Petang and Sikung went on ahead and I walked along with Tigbo telling him that he is paying too much attention to his knees and that he should just loosen up his legs a bit. On a big stone along the bank I saw a message written for Tigbo by Petang to drop him at a camp that belonged to the Nyishis who were extracting cane from the area where he can spend the night and walk up till the road the next morning and get to Bomdo by road, 15 km away. But Tigbo would not give up and would also not give his huge bag to any of us.
Two hours later, we finally reached the Sipu camp, few hours late, yet not all was lost. We quickly went back into the adjoining forest to check our traps and our luck with that was not that great too. All the traps were empty and untouched. We returned to the camp and did some angling in the Angong river hoping to get something interesting to eat for the night. Petang got lucky with a single medium-sized fish and with the dried meat that Tigbo brought along, at least two meals were assured. At about 4.30 pm, me and Sikung went back to the forest with our single barrel guns since we knew where the macaques roost. Me and Sikung hid in different positions waiting for the macaques to get to their roost site, it was very likely that one of us would get our shot right. While my eyes were focused on the largest male of the group, I saw the second largest male walking towards me and since I was downwind and still, he did not notice me. I took a shot and down he went. So finally we had a kill. We carried him back to the camp and finally we would have some meat for the Aran festival. That night we had a good sleep; we owe it to the 10 hour trek. A drink of rice wine, a sumptuous meal and a discussion over warm fire were our lullabies. Tigbo was fervently apologising for lagging us in return for our praises for his will power and endurance, for only a handful men had visited this camp.
Morning began early and after a meal of rice and boiled mithun meat, we headed back. Our plan was not to return to the village but to a hunters' camp mid-way since Sikung was having a bad episode of diarrhea and had therefore become quite weak. We were also carrying quite a heavy baggage back to the village since we had emptied our camp. We reached the Imbung camp, which Tigbo thought was even more prettier and cosy. While me and Petang brought back firewood from the forest closeby, the two patients in our team; Tigbo and Sikung were in charge of cooking the evening meal! After the meal we had long conversations about the hunting trips we made the last three months, and in a way I felt that I will miss the makeshift camp we had lived in for several starry nights.
The next morning we left from the Imbung camp at about 5 am and on the way we collected more than quite a few tubers of Minong(black ginger) which is of high medicinal value. On the way back I also showed Tigbo old shifting cultivation fields, located at least five hours walk from the village, these have been abandoned now since they are located too far from the village. I also showed Tigbo Taba, a tree fern, the bark of which was fed upon by the Adis in the days when food was scarce. Tigbo also took a picture of what he called a lady's slipper orchid, we had a nice laugh about funny common names in English at Yabo Roglé on the way back.
We reached Bomdo by noon and my log ends here. Next year I plan to visit a much farther hunting camp, in a place called Arbo right below the Mouling peak, I think less than ten people from the village have ever been there. Its a two day trek from the village and I do wonder if Tigbo will join me, for, following us will be hard on his knees!
1. Few more details about the village can be found at http://www.anetherworld.blogspot.com/
2. Aran festival is one of the most important festivals of the Adi community. The website http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/living-with-the-adi-preparing-for-the-aran-festival/8921.html has a video about the festival in Jorsing village in Arunachal Pradesh.
3. Yabo Roglé is also mentioned in another post on this blog: http://blog.ncf-india.org/a-park-too-far/
4. There were at least eight such hunting parties that made seven to eight visits to their camps during the winter. Hunting as labour-intensive as this and as far from the village is undertaken only for four months a year and the rest of the year, the hunting is limited to the village near abouts. Also, relatively large tracts of forest including the Mouling National Park (http://arunachalforests.gov.in/Mouling%20National%20Park.html) surround the Bomdo village, which may mitigate the effects of hunting the locals may have on wildlife.

The ranking of the best terraces in Italy
Although the weather is still variable, with the arrival of the beautiful days the desire to eat outdoors grows. TheFork, website and app for Android and iOS that allows you to book in over 60,000 restaurants worldwide, 15,000 of which in Italy, has analyzed the preferences of users on gastronomic experiences in restaurants with terraces in some of its main markets. During spring and summer, the search for terrace restaurants is growing five-fold globally, and in Italy it is even multiplying by nine.
The average receipt of restaurants with a terrace is slightly higher than the average: in Italy we are around € 28.5 against € 27.2 of restaurants that do not have an outdoor space. In Italy, users are also looking for restaurants with this option at lunch and dinner (16% of total searches), while there are cases such as Spain and Portugal where searches for restaurants with terraces are more frequent at lunch. Also, when you book a restaurant with a terrace you tend to reserve earlier. We do this on average one and a half days earlier. Finally, the most booked cuisine for this type of restaurant is the Mediterranean one.

In the collective imagination Trastevere is probably the most famous district of the capital. Historical place with many alleys that intersect creating an ideal route for a walk among the noises and colors of Rome, is also a territory with a high density of restaurants, not always of quality. But there are many addresses to mark on the agenda for lovers of taste. Among these, the restaurant "VII Coorte" deserves a mention, located right in the heart of the neighborhood, which has a terrace where you can have lunch or dinner immersed in a real postcard. The chef proposes traditional dishes, the strong flavours of the great classics, alternating them with fish-based creations.
