inspired by traditional foods of the Coast Salish people with music and storytelling from local activist, Paul Cheoketen Wagner, and education from MidSound Fisheries and Stewardship Partners. 21 Acres chef Asako spoke to the gathered audience about how she created the completely locally sourced meal and the importance of protecting our region's food culture by actively choosing sources that safeguard the health of our unique marine and agricultural lands.
There is no question that our native salmon populations are facing steep declines due to habitat loss, pollution and ocean climate changes. Puget Sound Chinook salmon have been hit particularly hard, with population decreases of around 60% since NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) began tracking in the mid 1980's. Chinook were listed as an Endangered Species in 1999, but populations have continued to dwindle regardless.
The Washington State Department of Department of Fish and Wildlife has been working with a coalition of Puget Sound tribes to develop the "Comprehensive Management Plan for Puget Sound Chinook." The intention of the plan is to enable rebuilding of natural Chinook Salmon populations in the Puget Sound area through a combination of commercial and recreational fishing controls, habitat restoration and species productivity improvements.
The plan has yet to be approved by NOAA and has generated concern from commercial and recreational fishermen already facing steep limits on their catches. Anglers, commercial businesses and fish and wildlife management agencies all seem to agree on one thing, however – the Puget Sound region must address the habitat losses that have come with growth and make improvements to current habitat before it is too late for native wild salmon.
* Use beneficial landscaping techniques such as rain gardens, rain barrels, green roofs and permeable paving to help reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and reduce runoff into ditches and storm drains.
* Scoop your pet's poop. Pet waste is full of bacteria that can get washed into waterways and make people sick if they eat contaminated shellfish. Bag it and place it in the trash.
* If you're a boater, manage your sewage wastes properly. Do not discharge treated or untreated sewage into our waterways. Many marinas provide sewage pump-out as a free or low cost service.
* If you keep livestock, follow manure management practices. Contact your local conservation agency for technical assistance.
* If your home or business uses a septic system, take time to learn how your system works and keep it properly maintained. Ask for maintenance advice from your local health agency.
* Maintain your car – prevent oil leaks and clean up fuel spills!
* Buy responsibly sourced local wild fish – 21 Acres sources its salmon from Lummi Island Wild, (Bellingham, WA) one of the most sustainable fisheries in the world. Please stop by for more information.

16 Free, Fun, Simple & Addictive Games to Take the Edge Off
Jackson Chung September 7, 2008 07-09-2008 6 minutes
In my last article, I wrote about 9 free and useless Mac applications 9 Useless Applications Just For Fun [Mac Only] 9 Useless Applications Just For Fun [Mac Only] Read More . These apps were totally un-useful (except for Hide Folders, which in fact, turned out to be worth keeping) and were basically just pretty to look at and fun to have around. To my surprise, that article turned out to be a real hit although it was truly unorthodox for Make Use Of!
So, in the spirit of productive-lessness (Unproductiveness? Unproductivity?) I would like to introduce 16 simple, free and fun games which only require a very short attention span.
I must warn you though, some of these games are pretty addictive Top 5: Addictive and Challenging Web Games Top 5: Addictive and Challenging Web Games Read More and may very likely distract you from your pending workload. But that's the point, isn't it?
Bug Defender
A turret defense game which is easily capable of wasting several of your precious hours. The objective: Kill all the bugs before they reach the welcome mat and enter your home.
Available in Windows and Mac flavours.
Still in the 'bug' genre, Bullfrog doesn't require as much focus as Bug Defender but you might still get quite excited. In this game, you're the frog and you'll have to try and catch all the insects with your short and sticky tongue before the time runs out. Be careful of the mosquito, you'll lose time if it bites you.
Sorry guys, Mac only. Bullfrog is also available for the iPhone and iPod Touch from the iTunes AppStore but it ain't free. Grab this one instead and save $4.99.
Armagetron Advanced
Armagetron Advanced is a Tron clone, drive a light cycle around and try not to hit anything. Leave a trail for your opponent to run into. Armagetron supports single play as well as network and internet games. So if you're sick of always losing to the computer, challenge your friend!
Available for all OS platforms.
This game isn't exactly free but it was so good that I had to add it to the list! It's shareware so you'll get 60 minutes of gameplay out of it. You may or may not be convinced to buy it after the time runs out but it'll be the best 60 minutes you spent that day. In a nutshell, Chopper is a 2D game in which you fly a helicopter around, saving people and shooting bad guys.
Come on. Don't tell me you've never wanted to do that.
It's Mac only. However, they also have an iPhone version in the iTunes AppStore that goes for $7.99.
X-Moto
Still keeping with the vehicle-motif, you might be familiar with this next game. X-Moto has come a long way since I started playing it 2 years ago. It's now a Universal Binary which means it won't burn down your Intel Mac. It's also available on all other operating systems.
When I reinstalled this game, one thing I noticed since the last time I played it was that it now has an abundance of levels packaged that wasn't there perviously. Most of them were created and submitted by players themselves. I didn't know where to start or which one to pick! I suggest clicking the 'Quick Play' button on the main menu to avoid wasting time choosing a level.
Hit me, dealer
Time for some cards. Mac users aren't as fortunate as Windows users. We don't have Solitaire packaged together with the operating system. Well, to make up for the loss, here are 4 great card games.
Klondike Forever
This pretty much makes up for all the card games lacking in Macs. It really is a whole lot of eye-candy! If you're sick of the plain old Solitaire on Windows, get this!
Poker Solitarus and PokerTH
Poker is probably one of the card games which took the world by storm. Texas Hold 'Em is played and loved almost throughout the world. Poker Solitarus (Mac only) is a simple video poker game of Jacks or better for quick and easy gameplay. I don't think further explanation is required.
PokerTH is more advanced. It's based on Texas Hold 'Em and you play against 7 other players. It also supports network and internet gameplay so you can play with your friends across the street or around the world. And oh, it's cross platform.
I realised that there are a lot of Poker games online but only a few for Blackjack. After watching 21, I quickly read up about how to count cards, learnt the basics and now it's time to put it into practise. Blackjack International is a simple Blackjack game for Mac and Windows. There's a country-based theme going on in the game (hence the name) which is a tad childish. However, if you ignore that, the gameplay is pretty decent.
Point of View [No Longer Available]
This game is unbelievable. It's ridiculously simple yet puzzling and totally addictive. While reviewing it, I spent nearly an hour working on a puzzle and almost forgot that I had this article to write! Point of View is a block-puzzle game. As the developer puts it, it's a game of perspective. You've got to try and match the blueprints and the model in 3 different axes. I highly recommend this game, you have to try it!
Unfortunately, it's Mac only. Does anyone know a similar game for other platforms?
How sad were you when they removed Tris from the iTunes AppStore? Don't be disheartened, Quinn is also a tetris clone for Mac and it's here to stay. It supports two-person tournament gameplay on the same computer and also network games with Bonjour. The graphics are pretty refined for a free game, I have to say.
MySokoban
MySokoban is a puzzle game where you have to push boxes to their destinations. Did you know that Sokoban is Japanese for "warehouse keeper"? MySokoban is Mac only but Windows users might like to try Sokoban YASC. I have to admit that the graphics for MySokoban isn't great but it's the game that we're interested in. I remember playing this on my friend's monochrome mobile phone years ago and still had a blast.
Name that iTune!
This game is slightly different from the rest. It tests your music knowledge against your own iTunes music library. How well do you think you know your music? This is a free alternative to Ohana Games' Music Challenge.
For some short-term entertainment, this game actually performs quite well. It's fun and simple to play. Shoot the bubbles from the cannon to form a combination of 3 or more similar-coloured bubbles. It's available as a GPL so everyone can enjoy this game. There's a specific port for Mac which you can find here.
Another Mine
Minesweeper is such a classic game on Windows and since I'm a Switcher, I still miss it dearly. There are a few Minesweeper clones out there. Some better than others but I like this one. It's not totally authentic because it has its own look and if you click on a blank space, the numbers reveal themselves in a pretty cool animation.
Need I mention that it's Mac only?
Wormux
To end with a bang (no pun intended), here's a Worms clone. Worms 2 was one of my most loved games back in the days when I used a PC. I wasn't into all the cool first person shooter games. I had a very short attention span and could never finish any of those role-playing games either. Worms 2 provided me with the game-by-game basis fun I needed. Wormux is based on Worms 2, with a pinch of IT humor added to spice things up.
Go ahead and try it, it's available for all operating systems.

Jackson, this is your father speaking. I am very disappointed in you, son. You should grow up and play fallout 3 with the rest of us. These games that you're recommending are for literal baby sluts. I mean, QUINN REALLY? Grow up you piece of shit! Your mother and I are getting a divorce... and yes it's your fault.
Mac Gamers may have gotten improved video performance with the latest MacBook line refresh, but their Windows counterparts still have the upper hand, with more titles available, and more options for distribution as well.
PCS Machine
hahaha chopper! i've spent way to much time plying that
nice work as always jackson. bug defender owes my boss a few hours of work. the makers of klondike forever also have a very nice iphone app version called solitaire forever, which is super clean as well. i personally have been addicted to this dart game that's on the promotional page for the movie what happens in vegas (the one with kutcher and diaz). not sure about the movie but, it's the smoothest interactive dart game i've played on the net, and i've played a few.
Oh that's our job! You're very welcome. I hope that these articles continue to prove useful to you.
One of the many things I love about this blog is that it cares for the many new Mac users. Not many blogs that I have found provide as much interest in serving the Mac community as you guys are! Thanks!
I feel the same, makeuseof does a great job at making articles simple to follow even for those who have very little knowledge about the topic.

Q: n-queen greedy algorithm python Here is the code for a greedy queens on a chess table and I don't understand how it works:
//here create the table
def create_table(m,n):
t=[]

for i in range(0,m):
    one_line.append(0)
for i in range(0,n):
    t.append(one_line)

//here I ve lost in this loops. What's the purpose of cost and how to understand easily what's in here?
def getPositionCost(t,pi,pj):

n=len(t)
m=len(t[0])
cost=0
for i in range(0,len(t)):
    for j in range(0,len(t[i])):

//here puts the queens in table. But on which criteria?

for i in range(0,len(table)):
    if "X" in table[i]:
        queens=queens+1
print("Maximum number of queens :"+ str(queens))
return queens

I want to understand the logic behind the code, I tried to take every step on paper but I've lost it. i don't understand what is the criteria such a queen is put on the table? And what cost means?
If I give a 3x3 table the output is:
 ['X', 1, 1]
 [1, 1, 'X']
 [1, 1, 1]

And it's ok, but if I give 4x4:
['X', 1, 1, 1]
[1, 1, 1, 'X']
[1, 'X', 1, 1]
[1, 1, 1, 1]

Why the queen wasn't put in the 2nd line, 3rd column?

SSH por web designa el método que hace posible acceder a un servidor SSH mediante un navegador web. Los clientes están basados típicamente en JavaScript/Ajax o JavaScript/WebSockets, y son usados para acceder a un servidor SSH por debajo de un proxy o firewall que permita el tráfico HTTP pero no el tráfico SSH.

Tecnología
Los clientes SSH basados en red básicamente consisten en las siguientes partes:

 Frontend: Típicamente son usadas JavaScript y AJAX para capturar la entrada del teclado, transmitir mensajes del y para el servidor y mostrar los resultados en el navegador del usuario.
 Backend: Las peticiones entrantes son procesadas en la aplicación web. Los eventos del teclado son redireccionados a un cliente SSH conectado a un servidor SSH. La salida de la terminal pasa por el cliente mientras es convertida en HTML mediante JavaScript o es traducida a HTML directamente por el servidor.

Emulación de la terminal del lado del cliente
Los servidores SSH basados en web que utilizan emulación de terminal del lado del cliente típicamente transmiten la salida cruda de la terminal del servidor SSH directamente al cliente. Esto tiene la ventaja de aligerar la carga del proceso de traducir la salida de la terminal a HTML en el cliente. La desventaja de este método en que está limitado por las capacidades de JavaScript y que aumenta la carga en la CPU y memoria del cliente al procesar el flujo de caracteres entrante. También responsabiliza al cliente de mantener el estado de la terminal y responder a las secuencias de escape de caracteres.

Emulación de la terminal del lado del servidor
Los servidores SSH basados en web que utilizan emulación de terminal del lado del servidor típicamente siguen el estado de la pantalla del terminal y convierten ésta a HTML cuando se actualiza la pantalla o cuando el cliente expresamente pide una actualización. La ventaja de este método esque el estado de la terminal persiste incluso si el usuario se conecta a la sesión existente desde un navegador web diferente. También habilita al servidor a actuar sobre la salida terminal incluso si el usuario se desconecta. La desventaja de este método es que aumenta la carga de memoria y CPU del servidor.

Between group and private lessons students receive up to 3 hours per week of instruction at one low tuition.
Students use computers to explore and create with the latest professional softwares.
Researchers are providing us with an unprecedented understanding of how we think and how we learn. Now we know that music is a vital part of a complete education. Children can benefit greatly from making music. Now is the time to bolster a more complete education that includes music.
Studies have shown that guitar programs enhance school music programs by offering a more complete arts education, and that guitar programs attract students who might not otherwise participate in organized music education in the schools.
There is a direct correlation between improved SAT scores and the length of time spent studying the arts. College-bound seniors who'd had school music experience scored 52 points higher on the verbal portion of their SATs and 37 points higher in math (89 points combined) than those without arts instruction.

David Bowie: 15 Things You Didn't Know (Part 1)
pinterest.com/jesssica1994
David Bowie is one of the most recognizable names in the world. His name and his music span generations, and kids today listen to his music with a renewed gusto. However, despite the fact that Bowie has spent much of his life in the spotlight, there are still some things that many people don't know about him. With that in mind, here we present our list of 15 things you probably didn't know about David Bowie. Check out part one below, and stay tuned for part two, coming soon!
Number Fifteen: His Left Pupil Is Permanently Dilated. Bowie was punched in the eye by his friend George Underwood when they were fighting over a girl, and the punch left his pupil damaged permanently.
Number Fourteen: He Has the Same Birthday as Elvis Presley. It's true! Their birthdays are both January 8. However, Presley was 12 years older than Bowie.
Number Thirteen: He Was Not Always David Bowie. Bowie's birth name was David Robert Jones. However, he got it changed to David Bowie because he wanted to avoid people confusing him with Davy Jones of The Monkees.
Number Twelve: His First Television Appearance Was in 1964. Bowie was 17 years old when he first appeared on television. He appeared on the BBC as part of an interview with the founder of The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Long-haired Men. Yes, that was a thing, apparently.
Number Eleven: He Grew Up With Music. Bowie began playing the saxophone when he was just 12 years old, so it's no surprise that he features it prominently in his music.
Number Ten: He Features a Fictional Astronaut in Three of His Songs. Bowie's songs titled "Space Oddity," "Ashes to Ashes," and "Hallo Spaceboy" all feature a fictional astronaut named Major Tom. "Space Oddity" came out in 1969, "Ashes to Ashes" came out in 1980, and "Hallo Spaceboy" came out in 1996.
Number Nine: He Worked on a Song With John Lennon. In fact, Lennon co-wrote Bowie's hit titled "Fame." Lennon also sang backing vocals on the song. Stay tuned for part two of our list of 15 things you didn't know about David Bowie, coming soon!

While Avengers: Infinity War will definitely unite every hero introduced in the MCU to date, there has also been a lot of talk about it introducing a new face to the franchise, as well. Namely, Brie Larson's Carol Danvers, who's set to get her own solo outing in 2019's Captain Marvel. It's long been the expectation that the heroine would appear in at least a cameo in the upcoming event movie, but it turns out that that's not the case.
As we now know, Infinity War will not make room for Carol and instead, the studio is saving the character for Avengers 4, by which point, audiences will already be familiar with her thanks to her aforementioned standalone outing. That wasn't always going to be the case, though. At one point, directors Joe and Anthony Russo actually planned to include Captain Marvel in their upcoming event movie.
Comic Book Resources reports that during a set visit back in January, Joe revealed that scenes involving the hero were indeed shot, but ultimately, they were cut from the film. Why they were removed, we don't know, but we imagine it's for one of two reasons.
It's either that something changed in regards to the direction that Captain Marvel is heading in and as such, the studio wanted to wait until then to debut her. Or, it could be because they simply felt that Infinity War was already too crowded and didn't want Carol to get lost in the shuffle as she's a pretty important character. Regardless of why they decided not to put her in the pic, it's still interesting to learn that at one point, she was set to appear.
"Yeah, we have some great female characters in this. Captain Marvel is in it, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, we have Wakanda is coming in and there's a whole group of characters that are coming from the Wakandan universe, from the Black Panther universe.
So again, it's clear that Carol Danvers was originally supposed to show up in Avengers: Infinity War. And while some fans may be disappointed that they won't be seeing her on the big screen come April 27th, it's certainly for the best.
Like we said above, this movie is going to be pretty jam-packed as is. As such, it makes far more sense to simply wait a year and let Captain Marvel make her debut in a film entirely dedicated to her, where she can be properly introduced, ahead of her joining Earth's Mightiest Heroes for Avengers 4.

THE HIMALAYAN RIVERS; PART 2
The river Indus as said about the Ganga is a transboundary river that flows Ladakh and Kashmir northwards, passes leftwards towards Nanga Parbat Massif, and Pakistan southwards and ends its journey in the Arabian sea by Karachi. The Indus is termed to be one among the world's largest rivers in average annual flow, with an estimate of 243 cubic km, which is twice and thrice of the river Nile and the Tigris with the Euphrates combined respectively. The Indus originates from the Tibetan plateau near Lake Manasarovar and enters India in Ladakh. It cuts through the Himalayas in a deep gorge near Nanga Parbat to enter Pakistan. It has five main tributaries – the Sutlej, the Beas, the Ravi, the Chenab and the Jhelum. These rivers give Punjab its name, for the word 'Punjab' means 'five rivers'. This Himalayan river is both snow-fed and rainfed, and therefore flow continuously throughout the year. The river Indus, also known as the Sindhu river, flows for 2897 km, mostly through Pakistan. Since the river moves slowly across the plain, it deposits accumulated silt on its bed. The river bed is thus higher than the sandy plain. When the river is in flood, this results in much destruction. The Indus finally branches into distributaries that join the sea at Karachi. The very river is also famous for the Indus river dolphin, a freshwater dolphin, and one of the world's rarest mammals. It is, also the second most endangered freshwater river dolphin.
Regions through which the Indus flows
The Indus rises in southern Tibet at a height of about 5500 metres. It flows through a high plateau, then the ground falls away, and the river drops rapidly, and gathers momentum. It rushes northwest and collects the waters from innumerable glacier-fed streams. It flows between the greatest mountain ranges, the Karakoram and the Himalayas. generally, the river becomes slower and has a wider channel as it approaches its delta on the Arabian sea. Agriculture in Pakistan wouldn't be even possible without this river. In addition, it supplies essential ingredients for human life for many urban areas. These include the Pakistani cities of Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar and Karachi. Therefore the Sindhu is Pakistan's longest river with a total length of 3180 km.
The Chenab
The Chenab rises in the upper Himalayas, in the district of Himachal Pradesh in India. Its waters begin from snowmelt from the Bara Lacha Pass. During the Vedic period, it was known as Chandra Bhaga, and it begins at the confluence of two rivers, the Chandra and the Bhaga in Himachal Pradesh. It flows through the Jammu, into the plains of Pakistan. It is first joined by the Jhelum, and then by the Ravi rivers. Later, it meets Sutlej, which has earlier been joined by the Beas. Altogether, these form the so-called 'five rivers of Punjab'. After, 960 km, it flows into the Indus. The river is dear to the people of Punjab. Moreover, it forms an important part of the land's history and culture.
Fact: The world's highest railway bridge – the Chenab bridge – spans the Chenab. It crosses the river in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Jhelum
The Jhelum is the largest, and most western Punjab's five rivers. It is an ancient river that has been mentioned both by the ancient Greeks as well as ancient Egyptians. It rises from a deep spring, the Verinag Spring in the southeastern part of the valley of Kashmir in India. the river wanders northwards through the valley of Kashmir to the Wular Lake. After emerging from the lake, it continues winding its way through a deep gorge into Punjab. It widens out into an alluvial plain and then goes south to join the Chenab at Trimmu after 813 km. its flow is controlled by snowmelt and the monsoon. In its lower course, the river is famous for its hydroelectric power generation. The Mangla dam and the reservoir on the Jhelum irrigate around 3 million acres of land.
The Ravi
The Ravi, one of the five rivers that create Punjab, crosses national boundaries. It rises in the majestic Himalayas in the state of Himachal Pradesh in India. It crosses Jammu and Kashmir and then flows into Pakistan. After 725 km, it empties itself into the Chenab. It is fed by glacier melt and is the smallest of all rivers of Punjab. In Vedic times, the Ravi was known as Iravati or Airavati river. It is a trans-border river of India and Pakistan. After partition, the river waters were divided between India and Pakistan.
Fact: It irrigates a large area in Punjab through a canal. This canal is known as the upper bari doab canal.
The Beas
The river Beas, one of the five rivers of Punjab, is famous in world history. It is one of the rivers that created problem's in alexander the great's conquest of India. His troops mutinied here in 326 BC, refusing to go any further, as they had been away from home for eight years. The Beas rises from the Rohtang Pass in the western Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh and flows south through the Kulu valley. It then enters Punjab and flows in a southerly direction. Thereafter, it finally meets the Sutlej after flowing for 470 km. the chief tributaries of the Beas are bain, Banganga, Luni and Uhal. The river was known in ancient India as the Vipasha, while the ancient Greeks called it the Hyphasis. In the 20th century, it was developed for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation.
The Sutlej
The Sutlej, the longest Punjab's five rivers, has its source in the Rakshastal lake in Tibet. Sometimes called the red river, it is the easternmost of the Indus river's tributaries. Further next, it rushes through the Himalayan gorges, and crosses Himachal Pradesh, before entering Punjab. It then joins the Chenab and they empty into the Indus. There are many irrigation projects along its 1400 km long course. They include the Bhakra- Nangal project, and the Sirhind canal. In addition, there is also the Sutlej valley project which benefits both India and Pakistan.
Fact: In the villages of the Sutlej valley you will find descendants of the yak traders of the olden times. These traders were known as Zhang Zhung.
The Indus: the cradle of civilization
One of the greatest civilizations of ancient times flourished on the banks of the river Indus. Around 3300 BC, there were two great cities in the Indus valley, Harappa and Mohenjo Daro. They were very planned and had houses built with bricks, and even a proper drainage system. The town planning, water supply, sewage and drainage system were of very high quality – there were bathhouses and granaries in plenty, too. These cities prove to the world that the most sophisticated urban civilization of its time flourished in India, more than 5000 years ago! The wonders of engineering and architecture, the richness of the culture, and the quality of the life enjoyed by the people all prove that the valley stood to be the cradle of civilization.
The river basin covers an area of around one million square kilometres and extends to four countries. They are China, India, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Snow and glacier meltwater is the main source of water for this river system, as rainfall is low in the region. It ends in a delta, which includes numerous mangroves. The Indus basin stretches to the Karakoram and Haramosh ranges in the north, the Arabian Sea in the south, the Sulaiman and Kirthar ranges in the west, the Himalayas in the east. In India, the basin spreads over the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab Rajasthan, Haryana and the union territory of Chandigarh.
Indus Water Treaty
India and Pakistan are two of the four countries through which the Indus river flows. The waters of the same and its tributaries support life in vast areas in these two countries. The Indus river system consists of three western tributaries of the Indus and three eastern rivers. The treaty was a result of Pakistani fears that since the sources of the rivers of the Indus basin were in India, India would have total control of the water. So, the world bank drew up a water-sharing treaty called the Indus water treaty. According to this treaty, the Ravi, the Beas and the Sutlej, which constitute the eastern rivers, are allocated for exclusive use by India, before they enter Pakistan. Similarly, Pakistan has exclusive use of the western rivers the Jhelum, the Chenab, and the Indus. The treaty was signed in Karachi on September 19th, 1960.
Major cities in the Indus basin
Industries in the Indus river basin are mainly based on agriculture and allied products. These include the textile, woollen, sugar, oil and paper Industries, as well as Industries manufacturing agricultural equipment. Other Industries in the region are cement, automobiles, machine and machine parts. These Industries have led to the growth of many towns and cities in the river basin. Important urban centres and towns in the basin are Chandigarh, Srinagar, Shimla, Ambala, Bikaner, Bathinda and Patiala. Chandigarh serves as the capital of Punjab and Haryana while Srinagar is the capital of Jammu and Kashmir. Shimla, a beautiful city on the forested hillside of the Himalayas, is the capital of Himachal Pradesh.
Problems faced by Indus rivers
Rapid population growth
As the Indus is one of the longest rivers in Asia, and many civilizations shaped near it, the rapid population growth has a serious hand on the pollution caused. As the number of people around it increases so does the manipulation and excessive use of river water. Thus it could be concluded that the human actions that affect the river pollution counter affect them.
Increased cultivation rate
As the population increases, so does the need for food. Thus for achieving this the cultivations as a whole should be raised to a certain level covering the need. Added to this the Indus basin highly supports cropping. The exploitation caused by chemical fertilizers and pesticides used had serious effects on the river. The
Issues related to reservoir
The inefficiency of the reservoir had been in great discussions among authorities over the years. the increased freshwater need has come to a greater problem. Added to the low capacity of reservoirs, is the issue of inefficient management of the same.
Sewage management
The untreated sewage disposal to the rivers had adversely affected their condition for too long. The urban sewage added to the industrial waste is strengthening the damage caused. Proper treatment of the sewage is the only possible way to counterattack this issue.
Excessive industrialization
The Indus is a cradle of civilization, many industries grew near it, making it a great industrial site from time immemorial. So is the industrial waste disposal to the water bodies. The extensive water manipulation on the industrial need and discharge of the harmful by-products to the rivers marks the need for sustainability over the industrial sector. It is said that it is one of the top rivers that end up polluting the oceans.
Regional climate change
The fast-paced climatic changes such as the overheated summers causing glacier melts in a higher level are the representations of unstable weather conditions. This then leads to a decrease in river water flow. Well, it isn't a new fact that global warming the main enemy. When fossil fuels are burned which then increases the greenhouse effect leading towards glacier melts. The minute changes in water flow can even cause not so smaller but undesirable changes in crop production and the organisms.

The Dignity in Schools Campaign and Professor Mark Warren at the University of Massachusetts Boston are excited to announce the release of a new online toolkit, "Organizing to Combat the School-to-Prison-Pipeline."This toolkit, developed with support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, contains over 130 resources produced by students, parents, advocates, and organizations, each created to assist new and more established community groups with their organizing efforts against the school-to-prison pipeline in their local communities. In this climate of ongoing and resurgent institutional discrimination and criminalization, the movement to end the school-to-prison pipeline is at a critical juncture.
This toolkit includes resources to assist groups to: build a base of parent, youth, and community participants, develop leadership from those most affected by school pushout, conduct participatory action research, educate members about how the school-to-prison pipeline operates, develop campaign strategies for policy change, and create positive and restorative alternatives to punitive school discipline practices.
"Over the past fifteen years, the Dignity in Schools Campaign, its grassroots members and other movement allies have successfully pushed back against the school-to-prison pipeline. The toolkit contains resources to sustain and grow our movement, even in these challenging times," said Lorraine Wright, national co-chair of the Dignity in Schools Campaign.
"We at the University of Massachusetts Boston are excited to support the building of the movement to end the school-to-prison pipeline by providing needed resources to parents, young people, and their allies who are leading change efforts at local, state, and national levels. We are proud that our urban public university can play a role in advancing racial justice in our schools and communities," said Warren, a professor of public policy and public affairs at UMass Boston.

Doctor Who's Holiday Special Will Mark the Final Episode for 2 Companions
Beth Elderkin
Half of this crew is leaving the show.

The Fab Four are no more. Doctor Who stars Tosin Cole and Bradley Walsh—who've played companions Ryan and Graham for the past two seasons—have confirmed that they're set to depart the TARDIS after the upcoming New Year's holiday special.
In an interview with BBC Studios, Cole and Walsh revealed that "Revolution of the Daleks" will be their final episode of Doctor Who, confirming a long-standing rumor that two of Jodie Whittaker's three companions would be leaving the series—leaving only Mandip Gill, who plays Yaz.
Walsh called their final turn as Doctor Who companions "sad and poignant," with both actors noting how much they've loved being a part of the iconic sci-fi series—especially since their time on the series featured the first female Doctor. Cole, in particular, noted how much he'll miss the fandom.

It's here: your first full look at the upcoming Doctor Who holiday special, "Revolution of the…
"It's been an honor to work on such a cultural institution with fans across the world. The people like me on the screen come and go, but it's the people behind the scenes and the fans that will always be there keeping the Doctor Who world alive and exciting," he said.
Whittaker also confirmed the news, saying she was "devastated" to lose Cole and Walsh as costars: "On a personal note, absolutely devastated. Both of them had to carry me to my trailer. I haven't cried like that for such a long time. Brad couldn't cope with it at all. Tosin was like, 'I really can't cope with you getting this upset.'"
As of now, it's unclear whether Doctor Who will return to its more traditional pattern of "one Doctor, one companion," or if new cast members will be added to the series. But for now, it will be a sad but sweet goodbye to one of the show's greatest father-son teams. Doctor Who's "Revolution of the Daleks" arrives on January 1, 2021. In addition, the series is entering production for its 13th season, which is set to have eight episodes.

O's, Poes and Bohs
I'm good with it. Their arc has been basically squared away since Resolution and the running gag about people mistaking Graham for the Doctor has run its course (and Jack kissing him can't be outdone). I just hope that they step off the TARDIS in one piece.
I hope this means they'll do more with Yaz, even if there is another companion who crops up in the next series. Aside from Demons of the Punjab and Fugitive of the Judoon, she hasn't gotten much to do.
Graham was a top-tier companion, though. Always so game and so practical. The cheese and pickle sandwich, quizzing bus drivers. And so driven, through everything he did, to honor Grace.


On a cold winter's day in February, with the day's high topping out in the low 50s, the last thing I was thinking about was summer. That is, until I entered the Las Vegas offices of Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, where previews of a myriad of products sure to be popular for enjoying poolside were on display. Adding to the summery mood were a bevy of bikini-clad servers who were easy on the eyes, but also knowledgeable about the beverages they were promoting. Best of all, to this reporter, were several owners and representatives of new products, who were more than willing to discuss the ins and outs of what makes their product an exciting and enticing entry into the market.
Ron Newman, Regional Manager of Davos Brands, added, "Splash is a great opportunity to showcase new fantastic cocktails for the 2017 pool season." Ron was showcasing the new TY KU Cucumber-infused sake, and serving a cocktail with the junmai sake, Aviation Gin and fresh lime juice. The portfolio also includes a coconut infusion and three grades of premium filtered sakes.
Another summer quencher was the brand new hug l'originale, a 100% natural sparkling ready-to-pour wine cocktail with a tag line of "Summer in a Bottle." Hugely popular in Europe and known as Hugo in Italy, Hug International LLC GM/Co-owner Josie Razook, exclusive importer to the USA, China and Australia, explained, "Everybody needs a hug and especially a sparkling hug. It's unique and there's nothing like it in the market." It was perfected by Thomas Divina and Stefan Zanotti, owners of ZADI Drinks, who refined the right taste combination of elderflower, mint and lemon extract and it weighs in at a summery light 140 calories per 8 oz serving and 5.9% ABV. Las Vegas has the honor of being the first city in the US to experience it.
A product that has the potential to be a landmark breakthrough in the beverage industry and usher in a new way to drink spirits is beyond zero, an invention that quickly freezes liquor into spirit cubes, eliminating watered down drinks. Inventor Jason Sherman, a dedicated scotch/whiskey drinker, 20 years ago initially designed a machine to make ice cream using liquid nitrogen. Jason said, "After living in Miami I was repeatedly disappointed after ordering spirits on the rocks and it always arrived in a cup full of ice. One night I experimented in pouring tequila into my machine and it was a mind blowing experience, as it tasted so smooth, with no dilution and without the alcohol burn you get when drinking a spirit straight. It's a new category of drinking, and when ordering a drink, you can now ask for it 'in the rocks' instead of on the rocks." This machine is the first in the world to be patented to make these spirit cubes, and is produced by Winston Industries, the same company that invented the pressure fryer used by KFC. Beyond zero Partner Tim Couch reported, "The Louisville Business First recently named Inventor Jason Sherman one of the 'Top 20 People to Know in the Bourbon Industry.' Millennials love ice in their drinks, and our machine eliminates the watered down factor, the alcohol burn and leaves the pure flavor of the spirit or wine. And, it uses less energy than a 100 watt light bulb left on for one month." The new product is expected to launch through Southern Glazer's in late March or early April.
Vice President of Sales Kelly Smith was promoting VO,CO, a vodka and coconut water-infused drink with natural flavors, which at only 5.5% ABV will be a perfect fit for imbibing at the pool. Kelly cleverly commented, "Vegas is a nightlife town and the next day after drinking, VO,CO is light and refreshing and the perfect cocktail to hydrate while dehydrating." VO,CO is packaged in 12 oz cans, is gluten free, made from triple distilled corn vodka and Indonesian coconut water and is good by itself or mixed in cocktails, such as the refreshing and easy-drinking Mango Cocojito—made with VO,CO, Cruzan Mango Rum, lime juice, simple syrup, club soda and mint—that was being served during the Splash event.
We've all heard of beer being aged in whiskey barrels, but what about whiskey being aged in a barrel that previously contained beer? That's exactly what Jameson Caskmates has done. Well, sort of…As Jameson Local Rep Lawrence Isara explained, "The tagline of Caskmates—'triple distilled once stouted'—refers to the fact that Jameson provides the Cork Franciscan Well Brewery with barrels that has contained its whiskey, which are then used to age the brewery's stout, and after the beer has been packaged the barrel is then used to finish Jameson whiskey, resulting in notes of cocoa, coffee and butterscotch." Lawrence says future versions of Caskmates will use other beer styles for even more interesting flavor results.
Rum is ubiquitous with the Caribbean, but what about rum from Africa? Enter Starr Rum, an ultra-superior light rum from Mauritius, a tiny island paradise off the southeast coast of Africa made from a cherry and cardamom base with hints of citrus, nutmeg and vanilla. Creative Director Mark Zarnow said, "Vanilla grows wild on the island and adds notes to the sugar cane. Starr Rum is a clean, easy drinking rum that is impossible not to enjoy and makes the ultimate mojito." The attractive bottle is inspired by the distinct shape of the volcano, and symbolic of the nutrient-rich volcanic soil on the island of Mauritius. Launched in Las Vegas a year ago, it is currently at Wynn/Encore and Treasure Island and will soon be available at MGM Properties resorts.
As if the liquid enjoyment was not sufficient enough, exquisite sustenance was proved by Southern Glazer's Executive Chef Benoit Cornet and Sous Chef Dia Young, who provided an array of bites including smoked salmon deviled eggs, mini cucumber sandwiches, crudités cones, mini wedge salad, warm mini lobster rolls, barbeque pork biscuit, charcuterie and cheese boards, Caribbean mango slaw, jerk chicken bites, shrimp and pineapple skewers and Trinidad pholourie. With a spread like this, if anyone left hungry, it was no one's fault but their own.
Although not as severe as some communities, winter in Las Vegas can get a bit frigid, but it's nice to know Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits provides us with a day when we can forget the temperature outside and pretend for a bit that it is a glorious summer day, with intriguing products to match.
