Man found violating city's water ban arrested…
Man found violating city's water ban arrested for DWI
By Dave Canfield |
PUBLISHED: September 10, 2010 at 6:36 p.m. | UPDATED: July 21, 2021 at 11:47 a.m.
MECHANICVILLE — Police arrested a man for aggravated DWI after they spotted him taking water in violation of a temporary water usage ban in the city, police said. They said Richard Brown Jr. was spotted filling up two garbage cans with water at the city docks Monday morning, when the emergency ban was in effect. When they stopped him near the police station, they determined he was intoxicated and took him into custody. His blood-alcohol content level was found to be .28 percent, according to police. Brown, of Hemstreet Park, was also charged with violating the water ban.

Rakeedhoo is one of five inhabited islands in the atoll and is the most southern island of the atoll. There are channels on either side of Rakeedhoo, but Rakeedhoo Kandu is the most popular channel for diving and is on the eastern side of the island. It is a deep channel with an entrance around 50 meters. On both sides of the channel, the corners are magnificent with coral caves and overhangs at different depths.
The corner on the Rakeedhoo side is better known for its terraces. The first step starts at around 20 meters, and steps descend to approximately 45 meters. Under each plateau or coral, steps are overhangs and caves covered in soft coral. At the deeper depths of terrace corner are big beautiful sea fans and black coral trees. Terrace corner is a good location for spotting all kinds of pelagics including a big school of big-eye trevally and sharks, even hammerhead sharks in the dim light of early morning. At shallower depths are turtles, Napoleons, and sweetlips.
When there is a strong incoming current, it splits on the eastern side of Rakeedhoo reef sending divers either into the channel or along the outside reef of Rakeedhoo. The better choice is to dive on the inside of the channel.
Vattaru is a small rounded atoll south of Felidhe Atoll about 45 minutes by dhoni from Rakeedhoo. There is only one kandu. It is on the south side near the small uninhabited island of Vattarurah. The island corner gives the best opportunity for an excellent dive. The corner drops steeply on the outside to about 45 meters, then slopes to a deep sandy bottom where there are big sea fans and occasionally leopard sharks.
The entrance of the channel is around 32 meters. There are a few caves and overhangs near the entrance and many more on the outside of the reef. Near the corner, most caves occur near between 10 and 20 meters. Fish life here is prolific with tuna, barracuda, trevally, schools of fusilier and white-tip reef sharks. Also seen are turtles and manta rays. There are more beautiful caves from about 30 meters outside the channel entrance. All the caves are covered with soft coral and in many are black coral trees and sea fans.

For night divers, Vattaru Kandu is a brilliant location. With an incoming current, the island corner is the best place to start and then drift into the channel. Spread across the sandy bottom and on the reef slope are various shaped coral rocks which provide a sound refuge for sleeping Napoleon and parrotfish.
Most caves occur near between 10 and 20 meters.
There is easy diving on the north side of Anbaraa with walls from five to 25 meters and a few small caves with plenty of fire coral. It is a good location for a leisurely afternoon dive.
This is a small thila five minutes to the east of Anbaraa with the top at two meters. It is so small; divers can swim around it a couple of times at different depths. There is little current here. On the top is plenty of hard coral and is excellent for snorkeling. White-tip reef sharks are found here.
There are some channels along the western side with good diving features. On the west point of Felidhe Atoll is Maafussaru Kandu. It is the channel between Fussaru Falhu and Maahiththan Faru. On the northern side of the channel is a fascinating, gently sloping reef with a shallow entrance at 20 meters.
To the north is Dhiggaluvashee Kuda Kandu, also known as Kudaboli Kandu. The outside reef is at 35 meters, and the southern corner has caves at about 25 meters. Near the entrance, a finger of reef extends into the channel attracting plenty of grey reef and white-tip reef sharks. There are two kandus in the north, Kunaavashi Kandu and Boamas Kandu. Both are suitable for experienced divers.

Top 10 Dog-friendly Hotels
For dog lovers, no holiday is complete without four-legged friends. So with gardens and woodland, cliff top peninsulas and coastal paths these are the hotels that will not only keep furry guests entertained, but that welcome their presence as well. Hunting lodges, country hotels and popular local pubs all provide an opportune place to rest and play – and you thought this was a holiday all about you. Here are the Good Hotel Guide's top 10 dog-friendly hotels…
1. The Peacock at Rowsley, Derbyshire
A 17th century manor house with beautiful gardens that reach to the River Derwent, The Peacock at Rowsley is a charming holiday location where the presence of your family dog completes the experience. Warm and welcoming, it's about sophisticated pub food and a cosy environment. Dogs are welcomed with treats and a bowl, and even a biscuit at turn-down.
http://thepeacockatrowsley.com
2. Prince Hall, Devon
An 18th century mansion on Dartmoor, Prince Hall is the stuff that dreams are made of in the most spectacular surroundings. It's said that Arthur Conan Doyle was inspired to write The Hound of the Baskervilles while staying at the house; today, better-behaved dogs are made very welcome, with all manner of treats.
http://www.princehall.co.uk
3. The Pear Tree at Purton, Wiltshire
A charming country house in a very special garden filled with wild flowers, The Pear Tree at Purton really is a treasure trove of a hotel. Choose between characterful vicarage rooms in the older part of the building or more spacious executive rooms surrounded by 7.5 acres for four-legged friends to roam in. Dogs are provided with a bowl, welcome chews, a bottle of mineral water, and even a bath towel per dog in case they find the lily pond or wetlands and go swimming.

Meta-Research: Getting the Most Out of Research
Posted January 4, 2016 by Roli Roberts in Advocacy, Announcement, Biology, Community, Data, Debate, Editorial policy, Open access, PLOS Biology, Policy, Publishing
Time to scrutinise Science itself? ("Microscopio de tres cuerpos para las observaciones simultáneas" from "El mundo físico : gravedad, gravitación, luz, calor, electricidad, magnetismo, etc." A. Guillemin. – Barcelona Montaner y Simón, 1882, via flickr user fdctsevilla)
Scientific research, often portrayed as the acme of human rigorous thought, is actually an activity that's grown rather organically over the centuries from Aristotle, via Bacon, to an endeavour that now involves millions of people across the globe. Recently, however, it's been recognised that there are grave problems inherent in this organic structure, and that these problems may be obstructing the progress of science, wasting precious and limited resources, and producing misleading conclusions. This realisation has led to the emergence of the field of meta-research, which aims to study how research is done, and ultimately to inform measures that might mitigate these problems and realise the full potential of scientific research.
A collateral thrust of meta-research is the recognition of the key role that scientific journals have played in perpetuating research practices, and the role that they could and should play in improving the standards of consistency in performance, analysis, reporting and interpretation of research. This is part of the reasoning behind the new broadening of PLOS Biology's scope to include meta-research papers, and ongoing initiatives to make reporting of research more uniform and rigorous across scientific journals.
An example of how inconsistent reporting can get in the way of science is the non-uniform reporting of clinical rating scales, which can interfere with the subsequent inclusion of studies in meta-analyses; a recent PLOS ONE paper assesses the scale of the problem and proposes a practical solution that could improve the usefulness of individual studies and maximise the overall benefit to society.
The fly brain: a surprising target for meta-analysis doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.1001974.g008
Meta-analysis, often thought of as a tool for combining clinical and preclinical trial data (as in the example just mentioned), can be just as powerful in basic science, as seen in this PLOS Genetics meta-analysis of behavioural studies in fruit fly mutants, wresting statistically significant results from studies that are themselves individually marginal.
Crucial to all of these endeavours is the availability of the data that underlie studies, which a study in PLOS ONE shows to vary massively between scientific disciplines, being best in biology, but still falling well short of an ideal situation. And within biology itself, field-to-field variation is colossal, with some woeful behaviour reported among phylogeneticists, where some unique data may be lost for ever. Even in genetics, which has a 33-year culture of data-sharing inaugurated by GenBank/ENA/DDBJ, there's room for significant improvement, as explored by this PLOS Genetics editorial.
Between them these articles – and those included with the launch of the PLOS Meta-Research Collection – exemplify the level of scrutiny, rigour, and practical recommendation and enforcement that will be needed to get the most out of scientific research. This research is after all conducted by a few million scientists on behalf of all humans, and largely funded by their billions of dollars of taxes and charitable donations. Making the most of that investment is a duty, not a nicety.

Summer, Singapore, and Flying the Friendly Skies!
Greetings from Singapore! Just yesterday night, a business colleague and I landed at the Changi International Airport after completing delivery of a brand new Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, Scoot Airline's newest addition to their fleet! This summer has been packed with activities so far, and my internship as an Aerodynamics Engineer at The Boeing Company has been at the forefront of my focus and my excitement throughout the summer months. The fantastic reality of being an aerospace engineering major for me has always been the huge array of projects that require aerospace knowledge. And, of course, the amazing people and places they connect you to.
new techniques for integration of various systems, such as the folding wing to accommodate standardized gate spacing parameters. However, my work assignments shifted with work requirements, and I was assigned to work within the NAMS (Nautical Air Mileage) Team. This team works mainly to determine the Fuel Mileage (or MPG's) of the aircraft that Boeing delivers to customers. Using Flight Test databases that provide a nominal performance value, we draw comparisons between customer delivery flight performance and baseline (flight-test) performance, so that customers are guaranteed both a safe and efficient new product.
While I tend to get very excited about my work, my summer wouldn't be nearly complete without getting out of the office and exploring my new home in Seattle, or enjoying my other hobbies.
Hiking near Mount Rainier National Park!
Last weekend, along with a USC buddy of mine, Michael, and some of his high school friends, we embarked on a 2-day backpacking trip near Mount Rainier National Park to an alpine lake. Goat Lake sits around 6500', which proved to be a low enough elevation for us to be able to take a dip albeit a very icy one. The 13.5 mile round trip was framed by panoramic views of the mountains and glimpses of Mt. Adams in the distance.
Finally, it wouldn't be another summer without me continuing my flying. Ever since my rising junior year in high school, flying during the summer months is something that I completely adore, and not only is it a fantastic way to enjoy flight, but also a great way to explore new places, so for me, seeing Seattle was no better done than from the air. For those of you familiar with the Puget Sound area, I'm even training with Kenmore Air at the end of July to earn my Seaplane Pilot's License! Just as I love that USC provides me with amazing professors that excite me to learn, Kenmore Air provides charter flight service to hundreds of people per day, and learning from one of the most well established charter operations in the Pacific Northwest sounded like a great idea to me.
Finally, between trying to play tennis and go running as much as I can in between all the amazing activities above, my summer has been flying by, (yes, pun intended) but I can't say that I'm sad at all, because the end of another summer simply means the beginning of another amazing year at USC.
Fight on from Singapore, and I'm excited to see everyone in the Fall!


My friend Richard Binhammer published a new series of my isolation street photographs with Binhammer Photographs. These are arguably my best 10 isolation shots taken in the past year.
With that in mind, here is a new series of isolation photos taken in the past nine months.
Taken at the Hirshhorn Museum's new exhibit Pulse by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. The security guard walking in the scene is Tianca Sibert, and she had wonderful things to say about the exhibit. The tiles are actually people's fingerprints, and the lights pulse on and off with someone's heartbeat. Surrounded by humanity, yet all alone.
The first real cold snowy night of the season produced this shot of winter adventurers. Our pedestrians walk on the semi-plowed street to make their journey easier, and the red light adds a sense of foreboding. The long lens (70-200) compressed a lot of snow into the shot, creating the sense of a significant storm.
Summer in the city on a Friday night. What do you get? A woman walking in the middle of the street wearing an awesome contrasty polka dot outfit that works perfectly in the stark night light. She is carrying her phone in one hand, another hand digging in her purse, all while oblivious to the traffic behind her. Ah, to be young again.
If you have watched the Punisher, then you know what a dangerous character Frank Castle is. And this gentlemen seems to fit the bill, though with a bit of "Lock, Stock, and Barrel" flair. Of course, he is oblivious, too, immersed in his chic tough-guyness. Taken in Manhattan.
This Love mural is quite popular in Washington, DC. But what I like about this shot is the man walking right through it with a wide stride, and a sense of purpose. He is likely oblivious to the Love mural, painted in Pride colors, much like we are sometimes oblivious to the messages those who love us often convey. We are isolated in our own little reality.
I take a lot of photos for Dupont Underground as a volunteer. This is one of my favorites as it captures the awesomeness of the many art exhibits that find their way into the facility. This woman was looking at projected video against the far wall, while surrounded by graffiti, most notably the Aladdin illustration that is looking right at her.
Taken at the King Street Metro Station tunnel in Alexandria, VA, this shot offers a lot of classical symbolism. It shows someone walking into the light, a journey achieved or perhaps even death. The viewer must also make that journey through the tunnel, and in many ways, that journey is dark and scary, though inevitable.
There is nothing quite as frustrating as being caught in a downpour without any hope of staying dry. Even amongst all the lovely umbrellas in City Center, Washington, DC, you can feel the angst of this young man, alone on his bicycle drenched in the rain.
Torrential rains hit DC last September as the remnants of tropical storm Gordon blew through the city. I liked this photo because it was romantic in an old fashioned kind of way, offering a throwback to a different time when men acted like gentlemen in public. The modern version would have her holding the umbrella for him, perhaps even more visually appealing. Still, they are the lone pedestrians in this scene, desperately seeking shelter.
Another foul weather shot, this one at Dupont Circle. The gentleman is walking through the mess, offering a splash of red and white from his umbrella. I love umbrellas, they are like little flower tops that people carry, sharing a little insight into their personal tastes. A bright spot on a lonely night in cold wet Washington.

For every project there are three constraints of Scope, Time and Cost which determine the project baseline. The baseline is used as a performance measure to analyze and approve/reject changes or deviations to the project… In this article I'm going to describe what project baseline means and will also give an example of how to manage the baseline.
Project scope is the specification of work by tasks with deadlines to be performed under certain requirements. Managing project scope means ensuring that tasks and deadlines remains effective at any given point in the project lifecycle. The process of managing scope aims to protect a project from undesired deviations from the planned course of action. If this process fails, the project appears to be less effective or even failing because project outcome (product, service) may be rejected by the customer. In this article let's talk about the essentials of effective project scope management. Here I describe the need for performing the process and explain what basic steps of the process are.
Stating the project scope requires developing the project deliverables statement that describes the product/service to be produced at the project's completion. Meanwhile, there is also a need to set up the scope for the product and define its key characteristics (features and functions). In this article we will talk about the product scope statement and also describe the three steps for managing stakeholder requirements.

Q: Word2Vec - How can I store and retrieve extra information regarding each instance of corpus? I need to combine Word2Vec with my CNN model. To this end, I need to persist a flag (a binary one is enough) for each sentence as my corpus has two types (a.k.a. target classes) of sentences. So, I need to retrieve this flag of each vector after creation. How can I store and retrieve this information inside the input sentences of Word2Vec as I need both of them in order to train my deep neural network?
p.s. I'm using Gensim implementation of Word2Vec.
p.s. My corpus has 6,925 sentences, and Word2Vec produces 5,260 vectors.
Edit: More detail regarding my corpus (as requested):
The structure of the corpus is as follows:

*

*sentences (label: positive) -- A Python list

*

*Feature-A: String

*Feature-B: String

*Feature-C: String

*sentences (label: negative) -- A Python list

*

*Feature-A: String

*Feature-B: String

*Feature-C: String
Then all the sentences were given as the input to Word2Vec.
word2vec = Word2Vec(all_sentences, min_count=1)

I'll feed my CNN with the extracted features (which is the vocabulary in this case) and the targets of sentences. So, I need these labels of the sentences as well.

A: Because the Word2Vec model doesn't retain any representation of the individual training texts, this is entirely a matter for you in your own Python code.
That doesn't seem like very much data. (It's rather tiny for typical Word2Vec purposes to have just a 5,260-word final vocabulary.)
Unless each text (aka 'sentence') is very long, you could even just use a Python dict where each key is the full string of a sentence, and the value is your flag.
But if, as is likely, your source data has some other unique identifier per text – like a unique database key, or even a line/row number in the canonical representation – you should use that identifier as a key instead.
In fact, if there's a canonical source ordering of your 6,925 texts, you could just have a list flags with 6,925 elements, in order, where each element is your flag. When you need to know the status of a text from position n, you just look at flags[n].
(To make more specific suggestions, you'd need to add more details about the original source of the data, and exactly when/why you'd need to be checking this extra property later.)

Amazon's New Car Show Has A Rumoured Budget Of $US250 Million
Gary Cutlack and Gizmodo UK
Rumours surrounding the Top Gear rival being assembled by Amazon suggest it may end up being one of the most expensive TV shows in history, with an apparent budget of $US250 million being handed to the production team to make 36 episodes.
The news comes via an interview producer Andy Wilman gave to Broadcast, a trade magazine for those working in TV. And those working in TV will be rather envious of Wilman, Clarkson, May and Hammond today, after he suggested that a virtually unlimited budget to blow as they see fit was one of the key reasons the Top Gear team chose Amazon as their new home.
There was also the issue of creative interference, with Amazon's comparative lack of red tape when compared with the BBC also a reason for the switch. Wilman told the magazine: "We love the people down at ITV, but we couldn't do it. Everyone we have talked to has told us: 'They [Amazon] leave you alone to make your show'. That's a big one for us — we don't like interference, we don't need to be policed."
Which sounds like the show will be pulled off the air by Ofcom after a fortnight of unfettered swearing and racism, because... they do need to be policed. They need a sensible middle-aged lady with a clipboard standing beside them at all times telling them what is and isn't OK to say out loud.
[UK Telegraph]
This post originally appeared on Gizmodo UK, which is gobbling up the news in a different timezone.


FUNDING totalling £75,750 has been secured to help deliver a scheme of mortgage-free homes in Kirkby Stephen.
A bid for the cash by Cumbrian-based eQuality Homes to deliver a co-operative housing development in the town has been approved by Homes England — the Government's new community housing initiative which has been set up to help raise the building rate of new homes to an average of 300,000 per year by the mid-2020s.
The Kirkby Stephen scheme aims to help people who are struggling to get on the housing ladder. With the funding, eQuality Homes can move forward with plans to develop the scheme, and arrangements are already under way to tender for a partner to help deliver the project.
A key selling point will be that residents will become members of the co-operative which owns the houses, giving them a voice on how the scheme is run, and a vote on key matters relating to the co-operative.
Residents will be provided with a home for life which they can decorate and personalise, live in rent-free once their share of costs is paid and even leave to their children.
A key focus of the co-operative is to make housing more accessible to those who are unable to buy their own houses by building homes which offer low rents, a secure tenancy and rent-free living in the long-term.
Tom Woof, founding member of eQuality Homes Co-operative, said: "We are thrilled to have secured this vital funding from Homes England and are excited to start work on delivering affordable homes to people in Cumbria, starting with Kirkby Stephen.
A spokesman for the Government said: "The community-led approach to house building galvanises local support and is driven by the commitment and energy of the very individuals and communities that it will benefit.
"This local support means that this sector is able to deliver locally affordable new homes in places and on sites where commercial speculative house builders cannot.

Rodeo Clown - Mike Wentworth
Welcome to the world of rodeo clown entertainer Mike Wentworth. Formerly from Louisville, Kentucky, Mike now makes his home in Ridge Spring, South Carolina.
Mike started his rodeo career at the young age of fifteen in a practice pen at a friend's house while riding bulls. It was a short career as a bull rider once he discovered that clowning on the side was more entertaining for him than competing.
Over the years, with the help and support of family and close friends, Mike began performing his hilarious clown acts. He was a natural. Today, Mike's career keeps him on the road ten months out of the year. When he is not on the road, Mike enjoys spending time with his family and riding horses.

The Parchment of Kashmir
Nyla Ali Khan
Publish Date: May 31 2016 3:10PM
Updated Date: May 31 2016 3:10PM
A large majority of the populace of Jammu and Kashmir is troubled, dispossessed and mocked by the processes of democracy, by United Nations resolutions, by armed insurgency, by counter-insurgency, by militarization, and by revisionist histories
There is a plethora of opinions on the political future of the conglomerate of Jammu and Kashmir. Is Jammu and Kashmir a principality? An autonomous unit within the Indian Union? An integral part of India? A subversive unit with the Indian Union? A bilateral issue between the nation-states of India and Pakistan? Is the mainstream Indian understanding and interpretation of the Kashmir conflict the only credible one? Is the mainstream Pakistani understanding and interpretation of the Kashmir issue the only credible one? Do the people of Kashmir have a voice in the matter? Is there a space within Kashmiri society in which the democratic aspirations of the populace of Kashmir could be nurtured? Is there a critical discourse on Kashmir that foregrounds the views of scholars and lay people from the state, even if that discourse is in opposition to the mainstream one? These questions have been causing irrepressible angst in me for a while now. Can we break the silence? Can we bring the instability to an end, for our generation and the generations yet to be born?
A large majority of the populace of Jammu and Kashmir is troubled, dispossessed and mocked by the processes of democracy, by United Nations resolutions, by armed insurgency, by counter-insurgency, by militarization, and by revisionist histories. The people of the state are yearning for the right to dignity; the right to live decent existences devoid of bestial militarism; the right to work and enable their families to enjoy the basic necessities of life; the right to hold opinions of which others take cognizance; and the right to an existence in which brutalization, demoralization, trauma, and rage are a thing of the past. In addition to the denizens of Jammu and Kashmir, diasporic Kashmiris also suffer from the indelible scars of having lost their homeland, and mourn a lost innocence.
After reviewing the first edition of my book Islam, Women, and Violence in Kashmir: Between India and Pakistan, published in June 2009, several Kashmiri academics pointed out to me that autonomy was an inadequate solution to the Kashmir conflict. The intractability of the Kashmir conflict has made advocates of conflict resolution rather wary of applying a seemingly workable but facile solution to the complex political conflict. Mainstream media, intellectuals housed in academic institutions, formulators of public policy, and think-tanks are quick to point out that regardless of the bloody and seemingly infinite nature of a political, ethnic, or racial conflict, a viable solution can always be found to dilute the fierceness of a conflictual situation. But one is cautioned against glibly advocating a kitsch solution to the Kashmir conundrum by the complexity of the Kashmir conflict, which embodies the brutalities of nation building devoid of myth or self-infatuation.
Although the idea of self-determination collides with military oppression on the contentious site of nationalism, political accommodation can lead a war-weary people out of the prison of duplicitous rhetoric, political domination, and forceful imposition. The debate among political thinkers, scholars, and policy makers about finding viable ways to do justice to marginalized ethnic minorities in Jammu and Kashmir has seemed infinite. Which is the most viable solution to the Kashmir conflict?
Several questions were asked by the students in my Senior Seminar on World Literature at the University of Oklahoma in spring 2010 during the class discussion on translations of Kashmiri short stories at the Senior Seminar on Muslim Women's Memoirs, in fall 2011, while discussing women in conflict zones. "What is the political status of Kashmir?" "Can Kashmir exist as an autonomous enclave, the security of which is guaranteed by India and Pakistan?" "This might be a dumb question, but does Kashmir have credible politicians?" "If Kashmir is a nuclear flashpoint, why are most Americans unaware of the complexity of the Kashmir issue?" "Does Kashmir have fields of gold and mountains of silver?" "Are you familiar with the Led Zeppelin song, 'Kashmir'?" "Are any women in positions of decision making in that part of the world?" "Is the exotic description of Kashmir in novels, poems, and travelogues an attempt to dehistoricize and decontextualize the region and its people?" "How is the reductive portrayal of Kashmir as a romantic and exotic locale going to make the primarily Western readership of, for example, some short stories on Kashmir and Salman Rushdie's Haroun and the Sea of Stories3 aware of the political upheaval in the region?" "Why are we talking about political allegory?" "Is there an inextricable link between pedagogy and politics?" "Why can't the intelligentsia in Kashmir and diasporic Kashmiri intellectuals forge a coalition to come up with feasible solutions to the conundrum?"
I have always enjoyed teaching translations of Kashmiri short stories because some of the stories represent the mythical beauty of Kashmir, on the one hand, and the stultifying atmosphere created by murky politics, on the other. Before getting my students to do a close reading of the stories, I explained the historical backdrop of the Kashmir conflict; the political situations and maneuvers orchestrated by the two nation-states of India and Pakistan; the onset of the armed insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir in 1989; the simmering resentment, rage, and alienation of the people of Kashmir that added fuel to the insurgency; the unpopularity of formerly populist leaders whom the masses no longer deemed genuine representatives; the nostalgia of expatriate Kashmiris who had been uprooted, dislocated, and dispossessed; the trauma generated by the loss of innocence in a militarized culture; the exclusionary discourse of Indian nationalism, which over the years has subsumed the discourse of Kashmiriyat or a unitary Kashmiri nationalist identity within it; and the erosion of cultural myths, legends, and folklore upon which the edifice of Kashmiri society is built.
My students had been unaware of the political swamp in Kashmir prior to our discussion; therefore, it was encouraging to hear them make intelligent comments about world views other than Western-centric ones: about issues of sovereignty, legitimacy of state- hood, representative nature of democracy or lack thereof, discourse of human rights and the bounden duty of international powers to protect fundamental rights in politically conflictual environments, pluralism as an antidote to the orthodoxy of ethnocentric politics, the construction of identity politics, and the implosion of the boundary between state and religion.
The issues that my students came up with can be summarized in the following way: the intricate relationship between the political and cultural power that emanates from metropolitan centers and the peripheral territories in which it manifests itself requires the formation of cultural practices that sustain the persistent disparity in power between the center and the "peripheral world." This observation helps answer persistent questions. Is the effective political sovereignty of India over Kashmir achieved by force, by political collaboration, or by economic, social, or cultural dependence? Does the political sovereignty of India over Kashmir exist in its most potent manifestation in ideological and cultural practices?
After delving into the role of discourse in constructions of identities and subjectivities for a long time, I have found that dominant political powers use "discourse"— political, militaristic, gender, religious, and cultural—to disseminate the values that mold the ethnic and cultural identities of the dominated as well as the dominator. The strategy of fortifying domination with structures of knowledge creates an unbridgeable gulf between the "center" and the "margin." Let me generalize using the language of postcolonial theory. The totalizing form of the discourse of the center, and its overpowering impulse to exclude, repress, and incorporate threatening forces, generate a dichotomy between the center and its peripheries.
The legacy of this polarization is a strongly bounded area of social and cultural knowledge that produces veneration for the monolithic center and obedience of the "margins" to it. The practice of political domination is ratified by the authority of academics, institutions, and governments that formulate a methodology, "surrounding it with greater prestige than its practical successes warrant." The ideology propounded by the dominant order reflects and produces its interests. The representatives of the privileged center of the discourse of power (political, academic, cultural, religious, and institutional) silence the voices that are on the fringes of society. In order to achieve this outcome, the hegemonic order creates structures that cater to its unquestioned authority.
The rhetoric employed by mainstream Indian and Pakistani rhetoricians, politicians, academics, and policy makers has become the authoritative discourse of officialdom that separates itself from the realm of the Kashmiri people. It is a dogmatic discourse that has been used to assert its ascendancy among other verbal and ideological points of view. Meanwhile, the cultural identity of the Kashmiri people is damaged by the erosion of their autonomous institutions, by traumas and terrors generated by insurgency and counter insurgency. Still, the cruel politics of these neighboring nation-states has not obliterated the legacy of a rich heritage.
Frantz Fanon, in particular, espoused the attempt to refurbish social and political consciousness in order to undermine racist, ethnic stereotypes. Although Fanon's theories were specifically geared to the Algerian national struggle, his characterization of culture as the contentious site where psychological and spiritual emancipation might be achieved is relevant to the Kashmiri context as well. In the case of Kashmir, the pervasiveness of prejudicial notions, particularly after 1989, undermined the self-representation and self-construction of the Kashmiri people. The struggle for autonomy and, some would argue, the legitimate right of self-determination in Kashmir quickly forged discourses in order to oppose the discourse of discrimination that had created a sense of marginalization in the populace.
Fanon famously propounds an anticolonial nationalism as a therapeutic device to cure the psychological and historical torture inflicted by the dichotomies of the culture of dominance. According to Fanon, the fallacy of the racial and culture privileging of the dominant power is confounded when the natives refuse to follow the trajectory charted out for them by the discursive practices of colonialism.
Cultural nationalism challenges and overthrows the hierarchy of ruling ideologies by enhancing a unity among all socioeconomic classes of an occupied area, which it has failed to do in the Kashmir context. This revolutionary stance can eliminate the petty feuds that exist in an area and can replace them with a sanctified notion of nation. History is no longer imposed on them; now they are able to wield memory as a powerful tool. In this process of nationalist self-imagining, the deployment of allegory, as some Kashmiri short story writers have done in their works, can be used to re-create and preserve a jeopardized way of life. Such narratives rewrite history and create symbols of nationhood. They impart resolvability to a disharmonious history.
Instead of a contemptuous dismissal of the power of myth and fetishes, writers explore these as repositories of culture. This process of recuperation makes the hitherto lost voices of the margin audible. A multiplicity of voices and perspectives, as in Parchment of Kashmir: History, Society, and Polity, shuns simple decoding.
The concept of Kashmiriyat is not only cultural but political as well, which can be revitalized by the resuscitation of cultural institutions and the redressal of political grievances. Kashmiri society, like other South Asian societies, is by no means egalitarian or unpatriarchal. A rigidly entrenched gender hierarchy also exists in Kashmir; some substantive attempts have been made to deconstruct such a hierarchy. The role of women in a conflict zone; the reconceptualization of a woman's identity in a politically militarized zone; intersectionalities of class, education, ethnicity, and religious identity in theorizing a woman's identity; and women's agential roles or lack thereof are issues that can no longer be relegated to the background. Any attempt to homogenize Kashmiri society or the politico-cultural discourse on Kashmir would be a dangerously flawed exercise. People on the margins of society lack the same access to political, religious, cultural, and economic discourses and institutions as those in positions of privilege and power.
The tradition of Rishiism is not dead and buried in the Valley: it continues to bolster a cultural and religious identity that the militarization of Kashmir has not been able to do away with. To that end, the vaakhs of Lal-Ded and the shrukhs of Nur-ud-din Wali form a very important part of the vernacular of semi-literate and illiterate people in Kashmir. At the risk of sounding repetitive, I emphasize that any unitary discourse that claims to encompass the reality of Kashmir would be lop-sided and suspect.

and when they are old and about to die.
but we are just women, and nobody sees us.
its interesting to note how different communities have viewed the role of a woman along the same lines. i hate to admit it, but sometimes i do tend to agree… being a woman can be a thankless job, but not so much that i would ever want to belong to the other side!
while i'm on these lines, i'm also thinking of shubha mudgal's man ke manjeere songs (which never fail to perk me up), one of which concludes proudly with the realisation: "mujhme hi rehti thi meri humjoli re…" (my best friend was always within me).
i'm curious however. there *should* be more stories about womenfolk like the ones above… all over the world!
what does your hometown say?
Kind of nice….but feministish? Aren't all women like that 🙂 Just kidding.

Home / Products / Peanuts
Peanut Seeds - Arachis Hypogaea - Sprouting / Planting Seeds
The peanut, or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea), is a species in the legume or "bean" family (Fabaceae). It is an annual herbaceous plant growing 30 to 50 cm (1.0 to 1.6 ft) tall. The leaves are opposite, pinnate with four leaflets (two opposite pairs; no terminal leaflet); each leaflet is 1 to 7 cm (⅜ to 2¾ in) long and 1 to 3 cm (⅜ to 1 inch) across. The flowers are a typical peaflower in shape, 2 to 4 cm (0.8 to 1.6 in) (¾ to 1½ in) across, yellow with reddish veining. The specific name, hypogaea means "under the earth"; after pollination, the flower stalk elongates, causing it to bend until the ovary touches the ground. Continued stalk growth then pushes the ovary underground where the mature fruit develops into a legume pod, the peanut – a classical example of geocarpy. Pods are 3 to 7 cm (1.2 to 2.8 in) long, containing 1 to 4 seeds. Despite its name and appearance, the peanut is not a nut, but rather a legume. The orange-veined, yellow-petaled, pea-like flower of the Arachis hypogaea is borne in axillary clusters above ground. Following self-pollination, the flowers fade and wither. The stalk at the base of the ovary, called the pedicel, elongates rapidly, and turns downward to bury the fruits several inches in the ground, where they complete their development. The entire plant, including most of the roots, is removed from the soil during harvesting. The fruits have wrinkled shells that are constricted between pairs of the one to four (usually two) seeds per pod. Peanuts grow best in light, sandy loam soil. They require five months of warm weather, and an annual rainfall of 500 to 1,000 mm (20 to 39 in) or the equivalent in irrigation water. The pods ripen 120 to 150 days after the seeds are planted. If the crop is harvested too early, the pods will be unripe. If they are harvested late, the pods will snap off at the stalk, and will remain in the soil. They need an acidic soil to grow preferably with 5.9-7 pH.

Q: Pegar os campos de um Select e passar para viewmodel Galera possuo dois Selects Multiple onde a função deles é trocar valores conforme na imagem abaixo:

O primeiro na real é um DropDownList onde ele busca as informações do banco, segue o seu codigo:
 @Html.DropDownList("Avaible", ViewBag.Account as SelectList, new { multiple = "multiple", id = "Avaliable", name = "Avaliable" })

O outro é um Select que recebe esses valores, segue o seu codigo:
 <select style="width:70px" id="Included" name="Included" multiple></select>

Os dois botões fazem a transição de dados de um pro outro por meio de JavaScript:
function Incluir() {
    $("#Included").append($("#Avaliable option:selected"));
}

E então ele popula o select que recebe os valores, o problema é, preciso pegar esses valores e armazenar em uma variavel da ViewModel Chamada Accounts
  public List<int> Accounts { get; set; }

Tentei fazer metodo em JavaScript que retorna todos os valores do Select, porém não consigo armazenar isso na variavel Accounts, esta é a função que fiz:
function displayResult() {
    var x = document.getElementById("Included");
    var array = [];
    var i;
    for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
        array[i] = x.options[i].value;
    }
    alert(array);
    $('#Accounts').push(array);
}

Porém ele não consegue popular o Accounts, alguem poderia me ajudar como popular essa Lista Accounts com os valores do Select ? Se tiver algum método melhor ou ajudar pra transferir o Array para o Accounts.
Ah esqueci de falar, na View possui um campo referenciando o Accounts:
@Html.HiddenFor(m => Model.Accounts)

A: Você não precisa armazenar a seleção em um input hidden "Accounts" isso inclusive pode ser feito mas você precisará alterar a sua model e adicionar novos tratamentos no backend para processar a entrada
Como sugerido nos comentários, uma solução, é você renomear o seu segundo select com o name="Accounts[]" e garantir que todos os seus itens estejão selecionados antes de fazer o submit para a sua controller.

function Incluir() {
  $("#Accounts").append($("#Avaliable option:selected"));
}

function displayResult() {
  //Essa linha de código vai selecionar todos os itens que existem
  //no select #Accounts para garantir a sua persistência à Controller
  $("#Accounts option").prop('selected', true);

  console.log($("#Accounts").val());
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js">

The front companies facilitating North Korean arms exports
Investigation reveals the complex web of companies involved in DPRK arms exports
Nate Thayer
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Four years after an aircraft was seized in Bangkok with a cargo of illicit weapons being sent from North Korea to Iran, the UN and other governments have concluded an investigation revealing new details of a sophisticated worldwide criminal network to circumvent UN sanctions designed to halt the proliferation of nuclear, missile, and other technologies to some of the world's most volatile conflicts.
Dozens of shell companies involving at least 16 countries were created in the weeks before the aircraft was seized – paper industries designed to disguise the shadowy players behind the 2009 arms shipment that almost evaded international law enforcement.
On the night of December 11, 2009, the U.S. Ambassador to Thailand called the Prime Minister with an important request: U.S. intelligence had information a cargo plane had departed Pyongyang smuggling 35 tons of clandestine arms and was scheduled to land in Bangkok to refuel. The U.S. wanted the Thai army to seize the aircraft and its cargo, banned under international laws mandated by United Nations sanctions.
But when the aircraft was seized at 4.00pm the next day, the international intricate web of shell companies simply vanished into thin air.
In reality, they never existed except on paper.
The companies were all mail drops hurriedly established in obscure offices spanning the globe. They were all creations of other legal companies that exploited loopholes in national laws from New Zealand to Hong Kong to Ukraine to London – established to hide the true identities of the owners.
The officers listed on company registration papers were "nominee" directors with no power or knowledge over company operations. They received their instructions from the real owners whose true identities, nationalities, and locations they did not know.
Like an optical illusion, the complex global network was a hall of mirrors and the real identities of the powers behind the operation vanished immediately when the cargo was seized.
The only people that proved quickly identifiable were the airplane crew:–one Belarusian and four Ukrainians–who had no idea who they were working for, what cargo they were transporting, who their cache of goods was being delivered to, or even to where it was destined.
But the illicit weapons cache did yield a gold mine of documents that paints a vivid portrait of the complex global network used to evade international and national laws.
Leaked UN reports two weeks ago said their four year investigation into the Bangkok seizure had been concluded, and named three individuals who were part of the intricate web of deceit.
AN INTRICATE WEB
The 52-page confidential report by the Panel of Experts on sanctions against the DPRK named two Ukrainian citizens, Yuri Lunov and Igor Karev-Popov, and one citizen of Kazakhstan, Aleksandr Viktorovich Zykov, for their involvement in the North Korea arms cache seized in Bangkok.
Kazakh Aleksandr Viktorovich Zykov was an international arms trafficker whose company, then registered in the United Arab Emirates, owned the Russian made cargo plane until just months prior to it being used to transport the North Korean arms shipment.
Ukrainian Yuriy Lunov owned the Georgian company, Air West, who held the operating license to the aircraft, and hired the crew to fly the cargo plane.
Ukrainian Igor Karev-Popov was the mysterious figure who was "a UK based European" who controlled the New Zealand registered shell company, SP Trading, which from the shadows leased the aircraft from Air West from SP Trading's shell mail-drop office in Kiev, Ukraine.
Upon leasing the plane, SP Trading signed an agreement with a just created Hong Kong registered front company, Union Top Management (UTM), which chartered the aircraft.
Four days later the aircraft departed Azerbaijan for a circuitous trip around the globe to Pyongyang.
From shell offices that included Kiev, Ukraine, Auckland, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and a mysterious company registered in London, SP Trading and UTM choreographed the operation. The cargo, which included 35 surface-to-air missiles that could theoretically shoot down a passenger plane, originated in Pyongyang and were destined for Hezbollah via distributors in Iran and Syria.
The real beneficial owners of the New Zealand shell company, SP Trading, ltd., and the Hong registered UTM were in real control of getting the weapons from North Korea to Tehran, where they would subsequently have gone to the Palestinian guerrilla army, Hezbollah, via Syria.
The four year UN investigation by the Panel of Experts, in cooperation with a number of law enforcement, aviation, and financial investigators and intelligence agencies, notably New Zealand, uncovered a jigsaw puzzle that has revealed remarkable details of how international criminal syndicated transport illicit commodities under the radar of international and national laws.
A PORTRAIT EMERGES
While North Korea can mask operations within its own borders, there are many national and international laws to abide by in order to operate globally – particularly in shipping, international flight operations, financial systems and company registration. This is compounded within the national borders of countries that are more sensitive to operating within the parameters of international laws and regulations.
Aircraft ownership, operator licenses, safety requirements, cargo manifests, international flight plans, etc, all required documentation – documentation that was found aboard the seized aircraft in 2009, and provided a paper trail that sparked four years of international investigation.
"New Zealand authorities investigated the beneficiaries of SP Trading and passed information to the (UN) Sanctions committee," a New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson told NK News, confirming their ongoing investigation into who was behind the New Zealand-registered companies linked to the seized plane.
"New Zealand legislation will shortly be passed that will close the loophole for non-resident directors," the New Zealand government added.
IGOR KAREV-POPOV
The "non-resident director" and beneficiary of SP Trading was Igor Karev-Popov, – the same Igor Karev-Popov identified as sanctioned by the UN Panel of Experts this May, and said to be the most important power behind the network revealed so far.
But while Karev-Popov had never previously been publicly identified by name, the New Zealand government has been aware of his identity since at least 2010.
He is is the mysterious unnamed "UK based client" who was the person behind the creation of the two key paper companies, SP Trading and UTM, who controlled decisions to lease the aircraft, create the flight plan, pay those involved, and, most importantly, approve the cargo manifest that, ultimately, contained the 35 tons of proscribed armaments.
The real and beneficial owners of SP Trading and UTM were in control of getting the weapons from North Korea to Iran.
Those involved in the actual transport of the proscribed cargo and who set up the web of front companies, knew very little, if anything, about the scheme they played various compartmentalized roles in. It is routine, in fact, for flight crews to have no knowledge of the specifics of the cargo they are hauling, arms trafficking investigators say
YURI LUNOV AND ALEKSANDR VIKTOROVICH ZYKOV
Yuri Lunov is on paper the owner of the Georgian company, Air West, which the seized aircraft was registered to. He is an arms trafficking associate of the Kazakh national named Aleksandr Viktorovich Zykov.
Zykov previously owned the aircraft which was "wet leased" to the New Zealand Company, SP Trading. Zykov himself vigorously denied any knowledge of the cargo contents on the seized aircraft.
"After the Thai incident I left the airline business….I will not hide that the incident in Bangkok made me switch to another business," Zykov told the Kazakh Vremya newspaper on May 16.
"I have all documents proving that I am not involved in this story and I am innocent. I repeat again: I do not have any connection to this scandal! In the end, I still have the right to protect my honor and reputation. If what you have told is really taking place, I do not rule out that I will have to appeal to court."
THE HIRING OF THE AICRAFT AND CREW
The timeline of events in the weeks prior to the aircraft being seized offers a portrait of the efforts made to obscure tracing back the primary figures behind such illicit shipments.
In the five months prior to the seizure of the aircraft in December 2009, a series of related events took place to put in place the network required to get the clandestine weapons from Pyongyang to Iran, according to an exhaustive joint research report first published by International Peace Information Service in Antwerp and TransArms – Research Center for the Logistics of Arms Transfers in Chicago, arms trafficking investigative organizations funded by the European Union.
On June 6, 2009, Ukranian Yury Lunov's newly formed company in Georgia, Air West, was issued an Operator Certificate for the Ilushy IL-76 airplane 4L-AWA .
The next month on July 22, 2009, SP Trading company was issued a Certificate of Incorporation in New Zealand. Four days later, the flight crew—three Kazakhs and a Belarusian were hired and ordered to the Ukraine to wait for instruction on operating a cargo flight whose destination and contents they were not informed of.
On September 1, UTM was issued a Memorandum of Association by the Hong Kong company registry, incorporating the firm there on November 2, 2009. The documentation listed one director, Spanish citizen Dario Cabreros Garrmendia, a Barcelona native who later turned out not to exist.
On September 24, 2009, the Air West-owned 4L-AWA was issued a Certificate of Registration by the Georgian Civil Aviation Authority.
On November 5, Air West "wet leased" the aircraft to SP Trading, which meant Air West provided the crew, insurance and maintenance services to SP Trading along with the Ilyushin-76 cargo plane.
The Spaniard who was listed as director of UTM signed an agreement with SP Trading to charter the aircraft on behalf of UTM on December 4, 2009.
Dario Cabreros Garrmendia, the alleged Spaniard listed as director of UTM, signed an agreement with SP Trading to charter the aircraft on behalf of UTM on December 4, 2009. UTM's on-paper owners traced back to an address in the secretive financial tax haven in Tortola, the capital of the British Virgin Islands.
Four days later, the aircraft began its flight to Pyongyang to pick up its cargo.
THE WEB OF FRONT COMPANIES
The New Zealand company, SP Trading, operated out of an office in Auckland which shared the address with more than a 1000 other similar shell companies.
A 25 year-old Chinese immigrant with a day job at a local Burger King, Lu Zhang, was listed as the sole director of SP Trading Ltd.
Zhang was only the nominal director of SP Trading, of course –– New Zealand government records show she was director of 78 similar companies, all of which were located at the same mailing address in Auckland.
Like SP Trading Ltd, those similar companies were, in fact, registered to another company called Vicam, which in turn was owned by another company, GT Group, registered in the unregulated tax haven of the tiny Pacific Island of Vanuatu.
GT Group described itself on its website as "providing an extensive range of offshore company services for privacy, legal tax avoidance, asset protection, financial independence and freedom".
Such intentionally convoluted webs of companies have become standard in the network of international traffickers in arms and other illicit goods.
During the same immediate weeks prior to the cargo plane laden with 35 tons of banned weaponry departed Pyongyang, another company was registered in Hong Kong–UTM. It, too, was a shell paper company created by Hong Kong based firms that quickly register new companies to obscure the real powers who control them.
UTM was owned by a man who was registered as a Spanish citizen from Barcelona, who later turned out not to exist. Its on paper owners traced back to an address in the secretive financial tax haven in Tortola, the capital of the British Virgin Islands.
The intentionally convoluted web of companies is in fact a standard network for international traffickers in arms and other illicit goods.

Dozens of shell companies involving at least 16 countries were created to help export North Korean arms - paper industries designed to disguise the shadowy players behind a 2009 arms shipment that almost evaded international law enforcement.

If you are having difficulty remembering to wear your retainer, Gutierrez Orthodontics is here to help you set the routine to do so. The following tips on how to remember to wear your retainer are great ways to get into the proper habit of retainer wear. Not properly wearing a necessary retainer can result in the shifting of teeth and painful discomfort as a result.
If you lose your retainer then there is no wearing it at all, right? One of the most important things to do for remembering to wear your retainer is to keep track of it. Utilize a clean retainer case that you make a specific place for, whether you keep it in your bag, bathroom, nightstand, et cetera… Ensure that the retainer case and the retainer itself remain clean. Proper cleaning is much more appealing—no mouth wants a dirty retainer in it. Also make sure that the location of your well-protected and clean retainer is in a place that you pass, or go to often, as not to lose or forget about it.
Written notes to yourself that are placed along the path of your daily routine can help establish a routine for wearing your retainer. Alarm reinforcement, such as on a cell phone you probably carry around, is also an effective way to remind yourself to wear your retainer. Set alarms on your phone to periodically go off during the day—such as an hour after your regular meal times. Also ask loved ones to remind you until you build up the habit.
Research what can happen when you do not properly wear your retainer. Shifting, for instance, will occur if your retainer is not properly worn. This undoes orthodontic straightening work, and can cause much discomfort for the non-wearer.
Getting into the habit, sooner rather than later, of wearing your retainer is the best thing you can do for remembering to wear your retainer. Start the good habit now and getting yourself to wear your retainer will no longer seem like a chore, but rather like a necessary part of your daily routine. Contact us at Gutierrez Orthodontics today for more information on retainer wear and additional information.

Collaboration of Wu Tang Clan and Cher?
07 May, 2014 Clizbeats Staff 0 Comments Articles
Wu Tang Clan/Cher
By Andrew McMahon
In arguably one of the most unlikely collaborations imaginable, Cher has contributed vocals for two songs on the Wu-Tang Clan's upcoming "secret album" The Wu – Once upon a Time in Shaolin.
In an interview with Forbes, group member RZA stated this will be an album like no other, and will feature multiple special guest appearances. Back in March the albums website revealed one of those special guests appearances to be by Bonnie Jo Mason, which is actually a former pseudonym used by Cher.
Since they went as far to tease her attachment to the album with a pseudonym, it's no surprise that the album's producer, Tarik "Cilvaringz" Azzougarh, decided to officially reveal Cher's involvement to Forbes writer Zack O'Malley Greenburg earlier this week.
The clip below, recorded during their interview, features a 51 second soundbite of the Wu Tang Clan rapping, with a snippet of Cher rounding out the teaser.
After six years in the making, we can't help but be excited for the resulting album that features two of them most talented artists in their respective industries. So check out a sneak peak of what you can expect from this unique collaboration below.

Groton museum hours curbed by Pentagon budget cuts
June 22, 2013 Updated: July 27, 2017 12:49 a.m.
GROTON -- Budget cuts at the Pentagon are having an effect on the schedule of a popular tourist destination in Groton.
The Navy says the Historic Ship Nautilus and Submarine Force Library and Museum will be closed on Mondays, in addition to its regularly scheduled closures on Tuesday.
The change takes effect the week of July 8 and will be in place until further notice.
Museums operating within the Naval History and Heritage Command are closing one day a week as a result of furloughs announced for the Department of Defense.
The command's headquarters in the Washington Navy Yard will also close Mondays and it already has closed its archives for visits.


During a recent trip to Ocean City, Maryland, a friend suggested we climb aboard a Viking ship. Now that's not something you hear every day so of course I was in. As part of its East Coast Tour 2018, the Draken Harald Hårfagre was docked in Ocean City for guests to admire and explore. It was a truly unique experience, and it may be coming to port near you!
Built in Norway, the Draken Harald Hårfagre is the largest Viking ship built in modern times. Since the Vikings left almost no records on how they built their incredible ships, the Draken Harald Hårfagre was recreated using boatbuilding traditions, Viking legends and archaeological knowledge of found ships. The ship is 115 feet long and 26 feet wide with a mast made from Douglas fir that is 79 feet tall. It is also boasts a 260 square meter silk scale.
The craftsmanship used to design and build this ship is incredible and inspiring. A traditional dragon's head and tail can be found on the Draken Harald Hårfagre which are breathtaking. The dragon's head is said to protect the ship and crew during their journey Aboard the ship you will also find beautifully carved ravens.
Viking ships typically held around 100 men during their journeys. The men would row the ship requiring incredible teamwork. The Draken Harald Hårgagre can hold 100 men and is equipped with 25 pairs of rows; however, its voyage from Norway to America had a crew of 32 individuals.
Drakan Harald Hårgagre embarked on Expedition America in 2016. Through rough weather and numerous icebergs, the ship made it safely to Canada the weekend of June 17th. She then made several stops in Canada before sailing to Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, New York and Connecticut. Due to its enormous success, the East Coast Tour 2018 was planned!
When you first arrive, guests can explore the Draken Village which is FREE to enter. Within this space, guests can find Draken photos and videos, official merchandise to purchase and local vendors. You can also purchase your tickets to climb aboard the ship. Aboard the ship, guests will learn some Viking history, how the ship was built and about their journey to America. The crew members are all incredibly knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you have about the ship.
Walking onto a real Viking ship was a surreal experience. It was like stepping back in time. I loved seeing all the details on the ship and learning how the crew lives aboard it. My boys were fascinated to see where they slept and cooked their meals. Each tour group is small but can still be cramped so it was hard to imagine how 100 men could fit on a Viking ship allowing me to develop a greater appreciation for their hard work and dedication!
