Bhutan is no ordinary place. It is a Himalayan kingdom with a reputation for mystery and magic, where a traditional Buddhist culture carefully embraces global developments.
Why you will love Bhutan!
As a former conservation biologist, for me there's lots to love about Bhutan. The mountains are carpeted in diverse forests that sing with birds, and it's the opportunity to explore this relatively untouched corner of the Himalaya that keeps me coming back. A highlight of my recent trip was a pair of rufous-necked hornbills feeding right beside the road. Bhutan's Buddhist tradition of respect and reverence for nature plus its amazing festivals and engaging people are the headlines to a rewarding and complex story about a beautiful Himalayan kingdom with a unique outlook on progress.
Environmental Credentials
When you visit Bhutan, you will become one of the few who have experienced the natural charm of the first country where Gross National Happiness is deemed more important than Gross National Product. By law, at least 60% of the country must remain forested for all future generations. You will experience Bhutan's natural wonders first-hand when travelling the mountain passes – resplendent with rhododendron blossom in spring. Botanical riches and unique mammals and birds are protected in several national parks, and a mountain trek is one of the best ways to experience the Himalaya.
Surprising Bhutan
Bhutan holds many surprises. This is a country where the rice is red and where chillies aren't just a seasoning but the main ingredient. It's also a deeply Buddhist land, where monasteries are part of the mainstream, and where giant protective penises are painted beside the entrance to many houses. While it visibly maintains its Buddhist traditions, Bhutan is not a museum. You will find the Bhutanese well educated, fun loving and vibrant.
Low Volume, High Value Tourism
The Bhutanese pride themselves on a sustainable approach to tourism in line with the philosophy of Gross National Happiness. Firstly, to bust a myth: there is no limit to tourist visas. Visitors famously pay a minimum tariff of US$250 per day, making it appear as one of the world's more expensive destinations. However, this fee is all-inclusive – accommodation, food, transport and an official guide are all provided. You don't have to travel in a large group and you can arrange your own itinerary. What you won't find is backpacker-style travel.
The Last Shangri La?
So why spend your money to come here? Firstly there is the amazing Himalayan landscape, where snowcapped peaks rise above shadowy gorges cloaked in primeval forests. Taking up prime positions in this picture-book landscape are the majestic fortress-like dzongs and monasteries. This unique architecture embodies Buddhist culture and sets the scene for spectacular tsechus (dance festivals). Then there are the textiles and handicrafts, outrageous archery competitions, high-altitude trekking trails, and stunning flora and fauna. If it's not 'Shangri La', it's as close as it gets.

Bhutan, officially the Kingdom of Bhutan, is a landlocked country in South Asia at the eastern end of the Himalayas. Bhutan borders China to the north and India to the south, east and west. To the west, it is separated from Nepal by the Indian state of Sikkim; farther south it is separated from Bangladesh by the Indian states of Assam and West Bengal. Bhutan's capital and largest city is Thimphu.
Bhutan existed as a patchwork of minor warring fiefs until the early 17th century. At that time the lama and military leader Ngawang Namgyal, the first Zhabdrung Rinpoche, who was fleeing religious persecution in Tibet, unified the area and cultivated a distinct Bhutanese identity. In the early 20th century, Bhutan came into contact with the British Empire and retained strong bilateral relations with India upon its independence. In 2006, based on a global survey, Business Week rated Bhutan the happiest country in Asia and the eighth-happiest in the world. In 2016, the World Happiness Report published by the United Nations ranks Bhutan as the 84th happiest country.
Bhutan's landscape ranges from subtropical plains in the south to the sub-alpine Himalayan heights in the north, where some peaks exceed 7,000 metres (23,000 ft). Its total area was reported as approximately 46,500 km2 (18,000 sq mi) in 1997 and 38,394 km2 (14,824 sq mi) in 2002. Bhutan's state religion is Vajrayana Buddhism and the population, as of 2015 estimated as 770 thousand people, is predominantly Buddhist. Hinduism is the second-largest religion.
In 2008, Bhutan made the transition from absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy and held its first general election. As well as being a member of the United Nations, Bhutan is a member of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) and hosted SAARC's sixteenth summit in April 2010.
Geography of Bhutan
Bhutan is located on the southern slopes of the eastern Himalayas, landlocked between the Tibet Autonomous Region to the north and the Indian states of Sikkim, West Bengal, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh to the west and south. It lies between latitudes 26°N and 29°N, and longitudes 88°E and 93°E. The land consists mostly of steep and high mountains crisscrossed by a network of swift rivers, which form deep valleys before draining into the Indian plains. Elevation rises from 200 m (660 ft) in the southern foothills to more than 7,000 m (23,000 ft). This great geographical diversity combined with equally diverse climate conditions contributes to Bhutan's outstanding range of biodiversity and ecosystems.
The northern region of Bhutan consists of an arc of Eastern Himalayan alpine shrub and meadows reaching up to glaciated mountain peaks with an extremely cold climate at the highest elevations. Most peaks in the north are over 7,000 m (23,000 ft) above sea level; the highest point in Bhutan is Gangkhar Puensum at 7,570 metres (24,840 ft), which has the distinction of being the highest unclimbed mountain in the world.[42] The lowest point, at 98 m (322 ft), is in the valley of Drangme Chhu, where the river crosses the border with India.[42] Watered by snow-fed rivers, alpine valleys in this region provide pasture for livestock, tended by a sparse population of migratory shepherds.
The Black Mountains in the central region of Bhutan form a watershed between two major river systems: the Mo Chhu and the Drangme Chhu. Peaks in the Black Mountains range between 1,500 and 4,925 m (4,921 and 16,158 ft) above sea level, and fast-flowing rivers have carved out deep gorges in the lower mountain areas. The forests of the central Bhutan mountains consist of Eastern Himalayan subalpine conifer forests in higher elevations and Eastern Himalayan broadleaf forests in lower elevations. Woodlands of the central region provide most of Bhutan's forest production. The Torsa, Raidak, Sankosh, and Manas are the main rivers of Bhutan, flowing through this region. Most of the population lives in the central highlands.
In the south, the Shiwalik Hills are covered with dense Himalayan subtropical broadleaf forests, alluvial lowland river valleys, and mountains up to around 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level. The foothills descend into the subtropical Duars Plain. Most of the Duars is located in India, although a 10 to 15 km (6.2 to 9.3 mi) wide strip extends into Bhutan. The Bhutan Duars is divided into two parts: the northern and the southern Duars.
The northern Duars, which abut the Himalayan foothills, have rugged, sloping terrain and dry, porous soil with dense vegetation and abundant wildlife. The southern Duars has moderately fertile soil, heavy savannah grass, dense, mixed jungle, and freshwater springs. Mountain rivers, fed by either the melting snow or the monsoon rains, empty into the Brahmaputra River in India. Data released by the Ministry of Agriculture showed that the country had a forest cover of 64% as of October 2005.
Climate of Bhutan
The climate in Bhutan varies with elevation, from subtropical in the south to temperate in the highlands and polar-type climate, with year-round snow in the north. Bhutan experiences five distinct seasons: summer, monsoon, autumn, winter and spring. Western Bhutan has the heavier monsoon rains; southern Bhutan has hot humid summers and cool winters; central and eastern Bhutan is temperate and drier than the west with warm summers and cool winters.

I should've just eaten the deep fried pizza.
I woke up today with absolutely no motivation … to do anything. So, an idea came to me … why don't I set myself the challenge to see how much I can achieve in one month!
But first I had to muster the motivation to take Maria for her morning walk in the sunshine.
I congratulated myself, as I attached Maria's lead to her collar and stepped out my front door. As Maria ran on the grass, chasing birds in the sky, I thought about the deep-fried pizza I ate last night and how my eating wasn't helping matters. I normally wouldn't make such big changes all at once but I'm kinda desperate to improve my mental health, so I made the decision. To eat healthy. Thoughts of salads and rice ensued, and the banishment of gluten which sends me into a depressive state … something a GP in the past, told me doesn't exist. When I got home, I thought of my new healthy eating plan, which I was starting right now, as I heated up last nights left over pizza in the microwave. I tried to take a bite, but it was like steel, so it got binned. I ate a packet of crisps instead, telling myself I was eating potatoes. I then climbed back into bed. The time is 10 am.
"Stay on task with micro-deadlines' is advice given, with regards to boosting productivity. How micro do I have to make my tasks to succeed?
From my bed, I did a lesson in Latin American Spanish. I'd been learning this in my tent, whilst cycling Chile, Argentina and Bolivia and had been amazed after 6 months, that I could have 'toddler level' conversations … which was astounding for me. But then I entered Brazil and was shocked I didn't understand anything. Then I found out Brazil speaks Portuguese.
To be honest the only reason I hadn't continued north through Bolivia into Peru was because there was no way I wanted to cycle over the Andes again. The memory of being on my hands and knees and not being able to breathe, the world spinning around me, thinking there was a chance I would die, was still fresh in my mind. So, I changed my South American route and cycled across Bolivia into Brazil, simply to avoid cycling over the mountains again.
From my bed, which is where I do more work than in my office … I confirmed two bookings for public speaking and completed the BBC interview, so I was free to begin my 120-mile hike. Then it started to snow. And I thought sod that I'll wait until the weather gets better.
It was 5 pm when I finally submitted to my healthy eating plan and I made a pot of carrot and coriander soup. Just like putting Maria's lead on and stepping out my front door, here I was feeling proud of myself.
I've achieved so many amazing things in my life, which took a lot of effort and action. Why is it that there are so many days I struggle to get out of bed? Why am I setting micro tasks for things that most people don't even think about – they just do on a daily basis.
OMG night time and anxiety hit … feel like I've done something wrong. Really feel like I've done something wrong. I quickly check reality – nope I've not. But I feel it. The same anxiety I felt at home. Well, this is, my home now. But my home when I was a child. Maybe it's having a home that's making me anxious? It's just really strange. Sure, as a child I was super anxious. But as an adult I haven't struggled so much with that. Sometimes, nowadays though, since I moved into my home, I feel the same anxiety as I did, as a child.
Jesus, I should have just eaten a deep-fried pizza rather than a healthy dinner!
When you don't get something done that you planned, it isn't a failure.
It's just become the previous attempt.
Ha ha this is brilliant!!! Love this going to share it with followers of blog 🙂 Thank you!
Anxiety often happens in the night hours. you need to find a strategy to calm you. I was going to say listen to a relaxation tape- haha shows my age – but there must ne something similar that teaches breathing and relaxation techniques and healthy eating is a key. I would still be walking with sticks if I hadn't found out the things that effect my health. I don't believe it was just physical health either. Mental health can be improved with good diet.

Specialist marketing agency secures £450,000 loan from MEIF Maven
Leading behaviour change marketing agency, WAA Chosen has secured a £450,000 funding boost from the Midlands Engine Investment Fund.
The funding which was delivered by MEIF Maven Capital Partners, has been used by WAA Chosen to develop its Sutton Coldfield headquarters. The firm has developed a new creative space which spans four previously separate office buildings, allowing the company to hold events, broadcasts, training, insight sessions and even issue industry-specific, professional qualifications. The finance has also supported major upgrades to the firm's IT infrastructure.
WAA Chosen is an integrated marketing agency, providing contracted services to a wide portfolio of national and international clients across three key sector-specific areas: Stir (food, drink and leisure), Hi-Vis (building, construction and home interest) and Open Road (automotive and transport).
Founded in 1986, the business has secured strong growth over the last 30 years and now works with international clients such as Diageo, VW Group, Britvic, Saint Gobain and Kelloggs. WAA Chosen achieves over 25 per cent of its income from outside of the UK. With its Sutton Coldfield facility located just 30 minutes from Birmingham International Airport, the firm will use its new creative space to host clients and suppliers from across the globe.
Andy Wilson, Chief Executive of WAA, said, "We are thrilled to have the backing and support of the MEIF and Maven. After drawing in some of Europe's biggest businesses with our specialist knowledge of their sectors, we are also being approached by the very best talent in the industry. We wanted to create an environment that truly reflected our status and future-proofed the agenda for the growth ahead. This funding allowed us to complete several projects in tandem meaning we will see the benefits much faster."

This funding is an example of another business continuing to innovate and broaden its offering thanks to the Fund."

Legal & General has drawn up plans to turn House of Fraser's giant store in Birmingham into offices and a hotel after seeing the value of the property and its rental income fall sharply, Property Week can reveal.
Under the proposals, which are due to be lodged with Birmingham City Council later this month, the Rackhams building would be completely redeveloped to provide nine floors of offices, a hotel, a rooftop terrace, as well as bars, restaurants, cafés and retail space.
Following the sale of House of Fraser to Sports Direct earlier this year, L&G agreed a temporary lease for the 490,000 sq ft property with the new owners to keep the store trading. As a result of the agreement, House of Fraser is understood to be paying just 20% of the previous rent.


For the fourth time Dave and I presented a week-long renewal seminar at the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT) in Cullowhee, NC in a mountain retreat setting. It is truly heaven on earth for teachers as a place to go and to get some valuable professional development. We are honored to have presented our Visual Journals:Where the Image Meets the Word. This time around we had 22 educators from across the state from a variety of curricular areas - many feeling that they were not artists, but were wanting space and time to renew their spirits.
As is usually the norm with the NCCAT experience, we had many epiphanies and cathartic moments during the five days. Tears were shed as these teachers got back in touch with the most important things to them. It is an amazing and emotional experience with many finally getting much needed time to find themselves. And this past week was exceptionally powerful - for some it was a life altering experience, and many strong connections and friendships were forged.
The above photo is from the last day as participants spend a few last minutes looking through each other journals.
Another important aspect of NCCAT is not so much the content, but the time to be with one another, and it has become our tradition to indoctrinate willing participants in the game of Farkle (also spelled farkel). It is a dice game played with 6 dice that Dave learned, and we have played it for years. It can only be described as Yahtzee "on crack." There seem to be different versions out there, and we have set rules that we play by. The strange rules, the fun, and the laughter, are all a good compliment to the emotional days, and Farkle becomes an important aspect for some participants.

The kiln room at Good Dirt was noticeably warm last week, even as the outside thermostat at the Classic Center next door hit the mid 70s.
For the past several weeks, and well into the holiday season, Good Dirt owner Rob Sutherland expects the room to stay that way.
"Usually in the business, I fire (the stoneware kiln) every two weeks, which is great," Sutherland said. "Now, I'm firing it every week."
When it's fired, there's usually 200 to 300 pieces of pottery inside, he said. Some pieces are his creations, some from in-house artists and interns, and some made by his students. Many of the creations surely are destined to become gifts that will pack a more emotional wallop than perhaps fancier items made elsewhere.
"They're not perfect," Sutherland said while surveying some students' works before pausing for half a beat. "They're heartfelt."
His business, like others in Athens, offers the facilities to make do-it-yourself gifts. This year, he even changed his family introduction classes to include Sundays, giving families more of a chance to work a class into their schedule.
"You can end up with some pretty inexpensive gifts, not to mention you'll have a great time," he said.
A few miles away in Normaltown, two master printers are likewise working to give those with a more creative edge an outlet in time for the holidays. Double Dutch Press will open its doors Monday, offering workshops in early December on various methods of by-hand printmaking, including etches and the ever-popular screen printing.
"It's about being able to say, 'Here's your Christmas card. P.S.: I made this,'" founder Amanda Burk said.
They are also going to be renting out studio space to what they hope will be an invigorated community of printmakers, which co-founder Katherine McGuire said fits into their idea democratizing art; creating one-of-a-kind pieces, they encourage them to be replicated, which pushes down the price point and helps more people enjoy the art. It would also make it easier to make those holiday cards that can't be found in Hallmark.
"It's really important to us that people be producing rather than consuming," McGuire said.
They, like Sutherland at Good Dirt, also want to encourage people to explore creating without worries of huge investments. McGuire and Burk joked that they were playing carpenter when preparing their studio when they made their vacuum table for screen printing.
"We're not trying to be, 'Here's a $15,000 piece of equipment ... don't break it,'" Burk said.
"Yeah, we want to you to come play," McGuire finished.

Marty Hurney Named Panthers Interim GM
WFAE | By WFAE News
Published July 19, 2017 at 11:49 AM EDT

Marty Hurney, Carolina Panthers interim general manager
The Carolinas Panthers have chosen Marty Hurney to temporarily take over as the team's general manager. Hurney previously served as the the panther's GM before leaving in 2012 to be replaced by Dave Gettleman, who was fired by the Panthers last week.
Hurney spoke at a press conference Wednesday where he expressed his excitement to rejoin the team. He said he hopes to help the team be successful on the field, as well as in the search for a new, permanent general manager.
"I would not come here if I didn't think that I could help in the interim as far as working with everybody here, and working together to try to win football games this season to start. And then identifying and helping develop a candidate for the future," Hurney said.
When asked if he would like to be considered for the long term position, Hurney said he is only focusing on the upcoming season. He also emphasized a personal goal to use better judgment.
"I think the biggest thing, and it's a general thing, but making sure the analytical part of my brain takes over the emotional part of my brain," Hurney said.
While he didn't give any specifics about his vision for the team, he said he returns to the Panthers with a new perspective that focuses on the team as a whole.
"It's we. It's not one person. One person doesn't win a game, doesn't win a championship, doesn't do anything. It's the group coming together," Hurney said.
In firing Gettleman, the team's owner, Jerry Richardson, said that a change was needed. In a statement released Wednesday, Richardson said Hurney was the "perfect person" to help the team in the interim, and noted that he was responsible for bringing in all of the current team captains, including Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly. He's also responsible for hiring Coach Ron Rivera. The shake-up comes just days before the Panthers' training camp begins f0r the upcoming season.

In the Service category, 2nd and 3rd place were awarded to Audi Al Nabooda Dubai and in the Technical category, 2nd place was awarded to Samaco, Jeddah (KSA) and 3rd place to another team from Ali & Sons, Abu Dhabi.

The 20 Best Vincero Watches of All-Time
Garrett Parker1 year ago
Vincero is a watch manufacturer with a bit of an unusual reputation. The company hasn't been in existence for long. It was established in 2011, but in the 8 years that it's produced timepieces, the three founders of the company have transformed it into an affordable option to the higher-priced watches that offered a shred of quality. The founders were tired of the cheap and shoddily built watches available for bargain prices and they purposed the company for the production of watches that would represent a product of value for consumers. This means good to excellent quality at a reasonable cost. Here are the 20 best Vincero watches made within its brief yet successful history of watchmaking.

Trusted Chattanooga Attorneys Since 1969
Accidents-With-Injury-Or-Death
Strong Defense Against Vehicular Assault Or Homicide Charges
If you are accused of driving while impaired and causing injury or death, it immediately makes the charges more serious. You would be looking at time behind bars for a conviction, which means it's critical to get a strong defense attorney on your side.
At Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers, we focus a key part of our practice on DUI defense. We are determined that you not be demonized for being involved in an accident causing injuries or death — even if alcohol or drugs were involved.
Call 423-933-2738 to discuss your specific situation in a free consultation. We serve clients throughout the Chattanooga area.
What Are The Penalties For A DUI That Causes Injuries Or Death?
Tennessee law defines vehicular assault as recklessly causing "serious bodily injury" to another person by operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. Even for a first offense, it is considered a felony, with a mandatory jail sentence of 48 consecutive hours.
If convicted, you would also face a one-year license suspension, with no restricted driver's license available to allow you to get back on the road. Fines and court costs would add to the consequences as well.
Previous DUI offenses on your record threaten to make the penalties even heavier. If you have a prior alcohol-related conviction, you would be looking at mandatory jail time of 45 days for vehicular assault.
For a DUI accident that causes the loss of life, the incarceration period required after a conviction for the Class B Felony could be between 8-12 years for a standard offender.
Make Use Of Available Defenses
The occurrence of injuries or loss of life, however, doesn't take away the full range of defenses you have available to you. For example, for the charge of vehicular assault to be valid, intoxication must have caused the accident. By reconstructing the accident scene, we may be able to show that it did not.
Our defense lawyers have years of proven experience handling serious and sensitive cases like this. Call our office to arrange a no-cost consultation or complete the brief online form.

CHP vows victory in Istanbul, Ankara municipal elections
March 26 2019 18:07:00
The main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) will win a landslide victory in the capital Ankara and Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality in the upcoming local elections, party leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has vowed.
"We will win Ankara, Istanbul, [northwestern province of] Bursa, [southern provinces of] Adana and Mersin. We know that the CHP will win these municipalities. Hopefully İYİ [Good] Party [CHP's ally] will win [Aegean province of] Manisa and [western province of] Balıkesir," Kılıçdaroğlu said in an interview on Turkish broadcaster Habertürk on March 25.
"We will convey the importance of production in local administrations of Turkey to large masses. The citizens have seen the kind of services we provided in other municipalities. They come to [Istanbul's districts of] Kadıköy, Maltepe, Kartal and Sarıyer for a breath of fresh air," he added.
The party leader also claimed that the voters of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) will vote for the CHP in the March 31 elections, basing his certainty on talks he held with many citizens who are disgruntled by financial troubles they blame on the AKP.
"I am coming across hundreds of citizens who have voted AKP in the past and say they will vote for us from now on. It is not possible that someone living in a palace can relate to the public's problems," he said, referring to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
"How can someone who has never experienced poverty or unemployment in his life understand these problems? There are huge gaps between their lives and the public's life. It is our duty to close these gaps, he added.
Kılıçdaroğlu said these elections are different to previous ones because the public is overtly facing Turkey's financial troubles.
"We are absolutely assertive. There is a different atmosphere. Citizens are seeing that financial troubles have even taken its toll on their kitchens. Families receive a crucial blow when their life standards decline," he said.
"If you go grocery shopping and are paying 200 liras minimum for a few items you would've normally paid 100 liras for previously, then there is a problem," he stressed.
Kılıçdaroğlu also refuted allegations that he would call for early elections after this weekend's polls and said the rumors were "fabricated."
"We will, God willing, win these municipalities and our mayors will perform their duties. Asking for elections before seeing the success of mayors is opportunism," he said.
"This nation is tired of elections. There's almost one election every year. Enough is enough. Society needs to have some chance to evaluate the ones they elected recently," he added.

Cordyceps Fr., 1824 è un genere di funghi della famiglia Cordycipitaceae. Al genere Cordyceps appartengono particolari ascomiceti. Sono funghi parassiti che attaccano funghi ipogei, di solito tartufi dei cervi (Elaphomyces), oppure insetti o ragni.

Essi si dividono in due gruppi. Il primo, di cui fanno parte parassiti dei funghi sotterranei, include solamente una quindicina di specie nel mondo. Il secondo, di cui fanno parte parassiti principalmente degli insetti ma anche dei ragni, è molto più vasto e comprende più di 250 specie distribuite soprattutto nelle regioni tropicali e in Asia. In Europa occidentale sono state rinvenute solo una ventina di specie fra quelle menzionate nella letteratura micologica.

Descrizione
I corpi fruttiferi, anche detti stromi, sono costituiti di uno stipite che è tanto più lungo dell'ospite quanto più questo è sepolto in profondità, e di una testa fertile chiamata capitola che rinchiude i periteci. Questi contengono lunghi aschi con parete sottile tranne all'apice dove è molto ispessita. Ogni asco contiene otto lunghe spore filiformi e settate. Le spore della maggior parte delle specie si frammentano a maturità prima di essere espulse dall'asco e di lasciare il peritecio attraverso un piccolo foro chiamato ostiolo.

La grandezza dei frammenti sporali è importante per la determinazione delle specie, e Dennis (1981) indicò che il miglior metodo per studiarli è di lasciare sporulare un Cordyceps per una notte su un vetrino, dato che la misura delle spore nell'asco può indurre a degli errori. Anche i Cordyceps, come molti altri ascomiceti, possono fruttificare in uno stadio imperfetto (anamorfo) che non somiglia allo stadio perfetto (teleomorfo).

Gli anamorfi, che sono stati descritti spesso sotto nomi differenti, non sono facili da collegare ai teleomorfi perché solo molto raramente appaiono in maniera simultanea.

Nella serie televisiva e videoludica The Last of Us, il Cordyceps è responsabile di un'apocalisse zombie.

Come i Cordyceps parassitano gli insetti

Le spore, a maturità, vengono disperse nell'aria. Quando un frammento di spora entra in contatto col corpo dell'ospite "adeguato", la spora viene stimolata, germina e penetra nell'insetto, generalmente allo stadio di larva. Il fungo si propaga poi in tutto il corpo dell'insetto e finisce per ucciderlo in pochi giorni. Quando l'insetto è morto, il micelio riempie completamente il corpo, che dall'esterno sembra normale, come mummificato. Il fungo così aspetta che vi siano condizioni favorevoli per fruttificare. Altre specie possono parassitare ragni o farfalle, producendo, a seguito dell'infezione, in un primo stadio, sostanze psicotrope che inducono l'animale a raggiungere posti alti (cime di rami, sommità). In un secondo stadio l'esoscheletro dell'ospite viene perforato dalle numerose ife del fungo che così produce i corpi fruttiferi, e quindi le spore possono liberarsi in posizioni favorevoli e ricadere su altri artropodi.

Status: Working great! Latest improvements in auto-detect tool are in beta test.
Q: I have a very long wiki-page. Can I somehow break up the wiki-page into sections/blocks such that I can edit each section/block individually at a time?
Q: I need to make regular/often changes/updates to some specific regions of a wiki page. How can I just change/update the wiki-text of that region only without needing to open the wiki-text of the whole wiki-page in the edit-form?
Q: Can I edit the wiki-text of a wiki page right from the view of the page (i.e. without needing to go to the 'edit' form)?
LiveEdit makes editing parts of wiki page easier and more efficient. It is a very effective tool for maintaining pages that have a lot of content or parts of which need frequent updates.
The AutoDetect tool makes it easy to create LiveEdit blocks in existing wiki pages.
You can choose from various themes/skins (called styles in LiveEdit) and set parameters to customize them using the Options string.
You can also create your own custom theme.
LiveEdit 1.0 users: The old markup ([#-BlockName] ... [-#]) is still supported in v2.0. However upon editing/saving any old block it will automatically be converted to the new markup.
Since v2.2: New style names replace old ones. Old style names are still supported for compatibility.
The following screenshots give a quick overview of what it is like to work using LiveEdit. Click on each image to enlarge it.
Download the attached liveedit.phpΔ(check file consistency) file and place it in the cookbook/ folder.
After installing LiveEdit you'll need to log in as an authenticated user with edit permission. This can generally be done by simply trying to edit any arbitrary page, and entering the edit password when asked. Once logged in, you'll be able to see the LiveEdit menu button on the top-right corner of the page. Hover your mouse on top of the button to see the LiveEdit menu. You can now turn on LiveEdit.
Once LiveEdit is enabled, you'll be able to see an item "AutoDetect blocks in this page" under the LiveEdit menu. Just browse to the page in which you want to create the LiveEdit blocks, and click the "AutoDetect blocks in this page" menu item.
A GUI-like environment will appear with the potential blocks in the page marked by gray borders. Hovering on each potential block will show a check-box on the top-left of each potential block and its parents.
Just check the potential blocks for which you would like to create LiveEdit blocks.
Click "Create Selected Blocks" button at the bottom of the page.
With LiveEdit it is possible to create nested blocks.
Δ Hovering the mouse pointer on a detected potential block will display the purple bar with checkbox on the block and all its parent blocks.
Check the boxes for which you would like to create LiveEdit blocks. They will get marked by red boundary.
Δ LiveEdit blocks are created for the checked potential blocks. You can now set/change themes/skins/parameters for each block individually.
Δ When LiveEdit is turned off, or from a visitor's perspective, the presence of LiveEdit blocks is totally undetectable.
The main content textarea: The wiki-text of the block appears here.
A field with name of the block: This needs to be a single word (uppercase & lowercase letters, numbers and underscores, but no whitespace character). If you used AutoDetect to create the block you'll see a default name assigned. You can keep it that way or can change it to something else. But remember: Inside a particular page the name of the different LiveEdit blocks need to be unique.
An options field: This can be left empty, but you can provide an option string. The structure of an option string is described below.
The possible out-of-the-box values for StyleName are (updated since v2.2): Standard_Popup_Block, Standard_Popup_Inline, Standard_Backdrop_Block, Standard_Backdrop_Inline, Phantom_Popup_Block, Phantom_Popup_Inline, Phantom_Backdrop_Block, Phantom_Backdrop_Inline. The *_Inline styles are to be used for LiveEdit blocks that are inside a paragraph ('inline' or 'span' element as opposed to 'div' element).
You can look into the details of each style, their code and parameters available for each by clicking the View available styles and parameters link beside the option box, or in the LiveEdit menu. Most of the parameters and their values are self-explanatory if you know basic HTML and CSS.
Writing your own Group.StylePage is explained later.
BlockName needs to be a word (uppercase & lowercase letters, numbers and underscores) without any whitespace character.
Inside a particular page the BlockNames of the different live-editable blocks need to be unique.
The AutoDetect tool just automates the process of identifying potential blocks of wiki-text in a page and helps in creating this markup around such blocks.
- Style with custom parameters passed to the style.
- Displays a list of available styles and the option to inspect the code and parameters of each.
- Displays code and available parameter for a particular style.
LiveEdit can be used only by an authenticated user with edit permission. That means, before one can use LiveEdit, one needs to log in using the edit password of the wiki from one of the login pages (e.g. the 'edit' action of any page will let one log in). After one is logged in, by default the LiveEdit view will be available (i.e. one would be able to see the grey bars with 'edit' button on top of the live-editable blocks). However, an authenticated user can turn off the LiveEdit view by just passing the GET parameter LiveEdit=false or LiveEdit=toggle.
In the unlikely situation that 2 or more LiveEdit blocks in the same page have the same BlockName, LiveEdit will be disabled for all those blocks in order to protect the blocks from incorrect saving of contents.
Q: I can't activate/turn on the LiveEdit view/mode.
You are logged in as an authenticated user with edit permission (generally you can do it by just entering your edit password when trying to access the 'edit' form of any page).
Q: I use Internet Explorer and LiveEdit does not seem to work on my browser.
A: Please make sure that you are using IE 8 or above. Alternatively, switch to Firefox or Chrome (highly recommended - not just for LiveEdit, but in general).
Q: I use PHP 4.x. I am getting an error with the 'clone' command in the PHP script. A: This is a well-known issue with PHP 4/5 version incompatibility. A simple Google search will give you a lot of possible solutions. The easiest one I think (from http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.cloning.php) is to replace "clone $object" with "unserialize(serialize($object))" wherever "clone" appears in the PHP script. However, it's always a good idea to upgrade the PHP version of your server to the latest.
2011-Aug-26: Version 2.1 released. Diff-history bug fixed. "Remove block" button added.
2011-Dec-16: Version 2.2 released. Several bug fixes. Complete re-work of styles and templates. Add/copy block before/after buttons added. 'Remove block brackets' button added. Improved auto-detection. Auto-detect still in beta.
Plans for future release: * Ways to merge/split blocks (split at cursor, merge with next/previous) [postponed]. * Sub-templates 'ValidationJS' to be finished. * Auto-detect to be tested and debugged. * Wiki markup and special characters panel on right-click to be included in form (as a new sub-template). * AJAX-based fetching of form contents for LiveEdit blocks, as well as AJAX-based submission of the form and update of the contents.
Please use the LiveEdit-Talk page for comments and discussions.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 looks familiar in new gameplay
Come for the vampiric powers, stay for the role-playing
By Kyle Thompson June 17, 2019 0
Footage from the full E3 gameplay demo for the recently unveiled Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been released, and it appears to be a faithful successor to the original. Gameplay focuses on dialog trees, vampire powers, feeding, protecting the Masquerade that keeps vampires secret from humanity, and rather awkward combat.
The Bloodlines return
Players begin by choosing from a set of three Thinblood abilities. They then begin in their apartment, complete with a radio station that should revive nostalgic memories for players of the first Bloodlines. The player character then heads to a night club called Atrium, where he shows off some dance moves that aren't likely to one-up Fortnite in the popular imagination. He also receives a mission to collect information from a fellow Thinblood vampire called Slugg. Unfortunately for Slugg, the Nosferatu are all too willing to let you know where he is hiding. That said, they do try to cut you a deal to betray your masters and get them the information instead.
The mission takes you to an area called The Jungle. Players will encounter a number of enemies and get to test out their powers there. Character animation, traversal, and lighting are all much improved in Bloodlines 2. Unfortunately, the combat looks as awkward as that found in many first-person RPGs of previous decades. With little sense of impact and physicality to blows, it appears to fall well short of more polished games like the Dishonored series. Guns seem especially weak, with unconvincing sound design and animations. They almost reminded me of old-fashioned first-person RPGs like Deus Ex. Paradox did advertise the game as being in a "pre-alpha" stage, though, so we will hopefully see substantial improvements in the final release.
Choose your path
After either negotiating or fighting your way past an anonymous gang, you run into Slugg himself. Some skillful talking can resolve the encounter without combat. In this case, you get the info and Slugg gets his money. Win-win. However, making the wrong dialog choice forces you into combat with Slugg and his gang. After beating them, you even have the option to use an execution mechanic to kill him. Doing so may feel satisfying, but it doesn't please your handler that you failed to retrieve the information she requested. Retrieving the information from Slugg will lead to more dialog options with your handler. No doubt, Bloodlines 2 would have this dialog feed into future quest lines.
Whether or not we will see a more polished combat system by the game's Q1 2020 release date, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 does seem set to offer the player a deep role-playing experience, making it a faithful successor to the first game in the series.

Der Schweizer Eislauf-Verband (auch Swiss Ice Skating genannt) ist der Schweizer Eislauf-Dachverband. Als solcher vertritt er die Sportarten Eiskunstlauf, Eistanz, Synchroneiskunstlauf, Eisschnelllauf und Shorttrack. Der Verband hat seinen Sitz in Bern, wo er ein Sekretariat im Haus des Sports von Swiss Olympic betreibt. Präsident ist seit 2018 Diana Barbacci Lévy.

Geschichte
Am 17. Februar 1911 wurde der Schweizer Eislauf-Verband von einigen Mitgliedern der Skating Association St. Moritz gegründet. Noch im gleichen Jahr tritt der Verband dem Schweizerischen Olympischen Komitee (heute Swiss Olympic) und der Internationalen Eislaufunion bei. Als erste Vereine traten 1913 die Eislaufvereine von Lausanne, Genf und Adelboden bei.

1919 wurden in St. Moritz gemeinsam die ersten Schweizer Eiskunstlaufmeisterschaften im Einzellauf der Männer sowie die Schweizer Eisschnellaufmeisterschaften der Männer durchgeführt. Die Frauen konnten ab 1931 in Zürich antreten und zwei Jahre später wurde in Engelberg auch das Paarlaufen eingeführt. Der erste Wettbewerb im Eistanz wurde 1961 in Luzern ausgetragen.

1947 konnte Hans Gerschwiler mit der Welt- und Europameisterschaft als erster Schweizer einen internationalen Titel erkämpfen. Im Paarlaufen gelang Silvia und Michel Grandjean 1954 der Gewinn des EM-Titels. Denise Biellmann konnte mit ihrem Weltmeistertitel 1981 an den Erfolg von Gerschwiler 1947 anknüpfen und in den Jahren 2005 und 2006 wurde Stéphane Lambiel sogar Doppelweltmeister, Silbermedaille Olympiade 2006, Sarah Meier, Europameisterin 2011.

1993 fanden auch regelmässige Austragungen von nationalen Shorttrack-Meisterschaften ihren Weg in den Wettkampfkalender.

Neben Schweizermeisterschaften organisiert der Verband auch regelmässig Europameister- und Weltmeisterschaften in der Schweiz. Seit seiner Gründung wurden neunzehn Europa- und fünfzehn Weltmeisterschaften in der Schweiz ausgetragen, wobei alleine zehn- (EM) bzw. elfmal (WM) der Austragungsort Davos war.

Verbände
Folgende Kantonal- und Regionalverbände sind beim Schweizer Eislauf-Verband angeschlossen:
 Association Romande de Patinage
 Bündner Eislaufverband
 Eislaufverband Bern/Nordwestschweiz
