Best 5 Places to Go Gorilla Trekking in Africa
On the African continent, gorillas can be found in ten countries around the African continent.
Gorilla trekking in Africa is regarded a dream come true to most adventure enthusiasts. It is one for the few adventure activities that remain interesting even to the 8th time visitors. This wildlife encounter is not only magical but also a heart pounding experience that you can have in the thick montane forests around the African continent.
Gorillas are endemic to the African. They are the largest living primates in the world. On the African continent, gorillas can be found in ten countries around the African continent. Since gorilla trekking is not the most popular activity in some of these ten countries, we bring you the best five places to consider for an exceptional yet safe gorilla trekking experience on the African continent.
These great apes are classified into two species; the western gorilla and the Eastern gorilla. The western gorillas are further classified into two sub species; the western lowland gorillas and the cross-river gorillas.
The western lowland gorillas are found in DR Congo, Congo Brazaville, Gabon, Angola, Cameroon and the Central African Republic while the Cross River Gorillas are found in Nigeria and Cameroon.
The Eastern gorillas are further classified into two sub species; the mountain gorillas and the Eastern lowland gorillas also known as Grauer's gorillas. The Mountain gorillas are found in only three countries; Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Their counterparts; the Eastern lowland gorillas are found in Maiko National Park and Kahuzi Biega National Park of DR Congo.
Several countries have developed a formidable gorilla tourism industry to welcome travelers to be part of the rare encounter with the gorillas. Currently, gorilla safaris are common in six countries where you can go gorilla trekking in the wild. These are Uganda, Rwanda, DR Congo, Gabon, Republic of Congo and Central African Republic.
Of these countries, three most popular countries offer this rare wildlife encounter. These are Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The most popular five national parks where gorilla trekking is done are found in these countries. These are;
Bwindi forest national park is located in southwestern Uganda about 8 hours' drive from the city center Kampala. This world heritage site is a sanctuary for not only gorillas but also chimpanzees, several mammals, birds and butterflies.
The park hosts almost half of the world population of the mountain gorillas. These apes live in families that are spread over the large impenetrable forest that is believed to be among the most ancient in Africa.
In Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, about 17 habituated gorilla families are readily available for visitors to trek in order to catch a glimpse at the world's largest apes. They include Mubare group, Rushegura, Habinyanja, Bitukura, Oruzogo, Kyaguliro, Nshongi, Kahungye, Bikingi, Busingye, Bweza, Bushaho, Nkuringo, Christmas, Katwe etc.
With these families, Bwindi is undoubtedly the best place in the entire world to see mountain gorillas.
Mgahinga National Park is another best alternative for Uganda travelers. Less known to tourists, Mgahinga is a fascinating place to visit. The park is part of the Virunga Conservation Area. It was gazetted with the sole purpose of protecting the mountain gorillas that roam within the Virunga.
Currently, the park has only one habituated gorilla group available all year long for tourist visits.
On a tour to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, you can also visit the enchanting Batwa Pygmies who once shared their habitat with the gorillas, as well as a visit to the golden monkeys; an old world monkey order that is endemic to the Virunga Region.
The park also shelters 79 bird species, several mammals and 3 conical Virunga Volcanoes that make the park one of the most scenic places to visit in Africa.
Volcanoes National Park
The Volcanoes National Park is one of the most popular places for gorilla tracking. Located in the northern part of Rwanda, the Volcanoes National Park is a popular spot for tourists who have less time in Africa yet would like to see the mountain gorillas.
The Volcanoes National Park is located within a distance of just 2-3 hours' drive from Kigali Airport. This makes it the most accessible gorilla destination and it attracts a considerable number of tourists all year round.
Currently, twelve gorilla families have been habituated for tourist visits. These include the Susa A and Susa B, Karisimbi group, Kwitonda, Sabyinyo, Ugenda, Bwenge, Hirwa, Umubano, Group 13/Agashya and Amahoro etc.
From the Volcanoes National Park, you can also engage in other adventure activities that include volcano hiking, golden monkey tracking, hiking to the grave of Dian Fossey as well as cultural experience of the local communities that live adjacent to the park.
Virunga National Park
This is the oldest national park in Africa. When you decide to visit the Democratic Republic of Congo, you should consider going on a gorilla trek in the Virunga National Park which is also part of the large Virunga Conservation Area.
You can pay a visit to this park by landing into Goma DRC directly or connect from Rwanda via Grand Berriele (Goma – Gisenyi) Border or from Uganda via the Bunagana Border.
Though the park is always disturbed by on and off civil conflicts, this is the fourth popular destination for gorilla tracking. The park has eight gorilla families that have been habituated for tourist visits. These include Rugendo, Munyaga, Mapuwa, Kabirizi, Lulengo, Bageni, Humba, Nyakamwe and others.
One of the advantages of going on a gorilla safari in the Virunga National Park is that the park offers the most affordable gorilla permits. A gorilla permit costs only US$400 which is cheaper if compared with Uganda which offers its permits at US$700 and Rwanda which sells it permits at US$1500. Virunga national park also offer discounted gorilla trekking permits in the low safari seasons unlike Uganda and Rwanda who rate is the same throughout the year.
Kahuzi Biega National Park
This is a less known national park in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. This is the only place where travelers can see the eastern lowland gorillas in their natural home.
The park was established in 1939 and by 1989 was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This park is home to a number of eastern lowland gorillas and it remains the last stronghold with such species.
There are nine gorilla families within the Kahuzi Biega National Park and only two families have been habituated for tourist visits. These are Mugaruka and Chimanuka and can be visited all year round.
To access the park, you need to travel to Bukavu in the Eastern DR Congo. A gorilla permit costs US$400 and the park lies in a relatively peaceful region than the Virunga National Park.
Preparing for the Gorilla Trek
To have ultimate gorilla experience in Africa, you need to be well-prepared as this adventure takes a process. First, think about the distinct terrains you are likely to encounter and the thick rainforest cover. You need to be prepared for hikes within the mountainous environment and a considerable degree of physical fitness is required.
At all times, you will guided by park rangers during the hike in the forests. The guides will take you through the protocol of observing the gorillas that you should adhere to at all times. They will also inform you about general overview of national park and behaviors of gorillas in the wild. Interestingly, these park ranger guides are well-trained, professional and experienced. When you are done with the morning briefing on gorilla dos and don'ts, you will be put in groups of 8 visitors and be assigned to only 1 habituated family to track.
Mountain gorillas share about 98 percent of their DNA with humans and making them to be very susceptible to any kind of human infectious diseases. While on the forest, you are required to keep your voices low to avoid disturbing the behavior of these creatures and perhaps make them get irritated, no flashlight cameras are allowed while taking photos and if your camera has a flashlight, make sure that you have turned it off before taking pictures of these large apes.
Only 8 visitors are allowed to track a gorilla family per day.
Only one hour is given to gorilla trekkers to strike your imaginations with these amazing creatures
No drinking, smoking or even eating while with gorillas
Avoid littering the gorilla habitat and make sure you leave their habitat as you found it
Wash your hands before embarking on the actual trek
Use the rest rooms before setting out for your gorilla trek but in case nature calls in the middle of the trek the rangers will advise accordingly on how to go about the matter.

Tourist killed in St. Charles Avenue hotel was victim of random violence, NOPD says
A tourist from Missouri was killed inside his hotel room on Dec. 1
By Natasha Robin
Published: Dec. 5, 2022 at 6:25 PM CST
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) -- The brutal murder of a 73-year-old tourist last week inside his hotel room on St. Charles Avenue is considered by New Orleans police to have been a random act of violence, court documents show.
Fox 8 obtained the court documents submitted with the arrest of 29-year-old Martin Hurtado, who was booked last Thursday (Dec. 1) with second-degree murder after being caught inside the dead man's room in the Avenue Plaza Hotel.
The victim -- identified as David Sorenson -- was visiting New Orleans along with his wife. The Missouri tourists had no known connection with Hurtado before he forced his way into their hotel room and beat Sorenson to death, investigators wrote in an arrest warrant affidavit.
According to the court documents, detectives spoke with the victim's wife, who said she and her husband were sleeping when they awoke around 11 p.m. to the sound of the hotel's fire alarm.
She told police someone knocked on the door of their room No. 612. When she opened it, she told police, Hurtado pushed her into the room and followed her in.
"I'm not here. Don't tell anyone I'm here," she told police the intruder said.
Fearing for her safety, the woman said she ran toward the bathroom as she saw the man punching her husband in the face. She eventually ran out of the room to get help.
NOPD homicide division Capt. Ryan Lubrano said at a press conference last week that officers arrived to find Hurtado still inside the room with Sorenson gravely injured from a beating to his face and head.
"The officers went into the room. They had a male in the bedroom section of the hotel room. He was down and looked like he had trauma to his face," Lubrano said. "The victim was later transported to the hospital, where he expired about midnight.
"During this time, officers made an apprehension of an individual, Martin Hurtado. ... They apprehended him in the bathroom."
The Orleans Parish Coroner's office said Sorenson died from blunt force injuries. Police said when they arrested Hurtado, his right hand was swollen, his face had cuts and there was blood around his nose.
Detectives who interviewed Hurtado said he told them all he could remember was drinking at work around 6 p.m. that evening. He worked at Tacos & Beer, a restaurant just down the street from the hotel. He told police he didn't remember anything after that.
Hurtado remains jailed at the Orleans Justice Center, his bond set at $350,000.

I had one last meeting with Jean-Marie Horvath. He's a sound mixer who has worked his magic with Beyonce, Celine Dion, Brittany Spears, and Duran Duran. Like most everyone he loved my verses, but thought my choruses need work: More emotion, more variety, more backing vocal and harmony.
In the afternoon I met my friend Jana in Venice Beach for some ocean time.
Later on Stevie came down and said goodbye. He's a pretty stand up guy. I'm so inspired to meet people that really care. He brought me so many places I could never go without him and all because he wants me to be the best I can be. Its sounds like a Hallmark card, but he's rad as hell.
All of the people I met down here were genuinely supportive, and heartfelt in their conversations with me. I like to think of myself as a no-bullshit kind of girl and well, these guys all passed the test of just awesome guys that love music.
One last glorious sunset.

Prochain communiqué
Six Provinces and One Territory are in Court Saying that French-language Schools of Equivalent Quality are too Expensive. What do Federal Party Leaders Think?
The president of the national organization representing Canada's Francophone and Acadian minority community views as a "fundamental injustice" the fact that once more, a Francophone minority has to go before the highest court in the land to argue for education rights that the Charter already grants. As the Supreme Court hears the case initiated by the Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique (CSFCB), Mr. Johnson pointed out that 50 years after the 1969 Official Languages Act, Francophones should not have to rely time and time again on the courts to see that their rights are respected.
The FCFA is particularly appalled by the fact that six provinces and one territory filed interventions in this case to state that the right to French-language schools of equivalent quality simply costs too much. "When are we going to stop treating French like a language of accommodation? When are provinces and territories going to understand that French has been an official language in this country for half a century and is equal in status to English?," asks Mr. Johnson.
For the FCFA, Francophones having to once more turn to the Supreme Court shows that there is currently a crisis of legitimacy of French as an official language in this country. More than ever, federal political parties currently campaigning across the country need to address this issue.
"Today, I'm calling on federal party leaders. What do you think of the fact that in a courtroom in Winnipeg, Francophone minorities are facing a wall of opposition from six provinces and one territory on an issue as fundamental as access to French-language education? Is that the kind of country we want, a country where rights are respected as long as it's not too expensive?" says Mr. Johnson.

The BOJ Unknown and the FOMC Sort of Known
Tomorrow's Bank of Japan and Federal Reserve meetings are serving to dampen activity in the foreign exchange market. The US dollar is little changed against the euro, yen, and sterling. The Antipodeans are firm.
Minutes from the recent RBA meeting provide no fresh insight. The central bank has an easing bias, which it is in no hurry to act upon or jettison. The Australian dollar is in the upper end of yesterday's range, but unable to extend above its (~$0.7575) high. Initial support is pegged near $0.7530.
The Kiwi is bid as milk prices have rallied ahead of today's auction. Intraday technicals warn of risk that the fact may be sold now that the rumor has been bought. Buying stalled near $0.7360. Support is seen in the $0.7300-$0.7310 area.
The dollar slipped a few ticks below yesterday's low against the yen. However, there is no momentum, and the range is narrow. There is great uncertainty of what the BOJ will do tomorrow. While much talk has been about its activity in the JGB market, new speculation is that may shift its focus in its ETF purchases away from the Nikkei 225 toward the Topix and Nikkei 400. Apparently, on such speculation, the Nikkei 225 edged lower while the Topix and Nikkei 400 posted modest gains after the markets re-opened from yesterday's holiday. Ahead of the BOJ, the JPY101.50-JPY102.00 range is likely containing the greenback.
The euro was confined to a little more than a 10-tick range in most of the Asian session but then staged a quick rally (1/3 of a cent) to almost $1.1215, which is a 50% retracement of the leg down since September 15. Initial support is pegged at $1.1170. The news stream has been light. Following the CDU's loss of support in two state elections this month, there is heightened speculation that Merkel may not run for a fourth term as Chancellor next year. However, in her post-mortem yesterday, we detect a subtle shift in Merkel, a master tactician.
She seemed to recognize the need to modify her immigration stance. The CSU from Bavaria, which has always supported the CDU candidate, has drawn a line. It wants Merkel to agree to a 200k immigration cap in order to support her fourth term. There are no more state elections this year. The CDU annual convention will be held in December. It is not clear whether Merkel will use that forum to announce her intentions. It would seem to be in her interest to not declare until absolutely necessary, which deters others from announcing.
Sterling continues to trade heavily near $1.30. Contrary to some speculation earlier (denial) that Article 50 would not invoked, word from the EU Summit is that Prime Minister May is signaling that divorce proceedings will likely begin in the first part of next year. News today is that the head of Germany's IFO wants a soft deal with the UK, so as not to cut the EU's nose to spite its face. The head of the IFO claims that the UK's diminished influence in the EU is sufficient price.
Many European officials seem to disagree. Recall that reports from the summit suggested that some officials thought that if their demands were sufficiently strong, the UK would balk at Brexit. This too seems fanciful. While the integration has been deep and complex, the key divisive issue is the UK's desire for access to the single market without having to accept EU migration, though it is not a member of the Schengen zone.
We have been skeptical of the UK narrative that the EU changed from what the Conservatives that led the joining had anticipated. The UK consistently campaigned for a broader union rather than a deeper union. Now, nearly every country that wants to join has (except Turkey, and maybe Ukraine). The broader union, which speaks to the UK's successful strategy, meant that the governance had to change away from unanimity. This means that the UK strategy ultimately led to its loss of it veto. Nothing fails like success, even though the instability in Northern Africa and the Middle East, spurred the refugee crisis, for which there is no easy solution and was mishandled.
Even if the promise of a referendum allowed the Conservatives to defy expectations and secure an outright parliament majority, three things that Cameron could have done could have changed the outcome. First, he could have campaigned harder and presented a strong, compelling case of why UK historically has gotten involved with Continental politics to shape the outcome.
Second, he could have taken a page from Scotland, and said because the referendum is about the future, 16-years should be allowed to vote. They may not have voted in high numbers, but a strong turnout was not necessary to change the close results. Third, recognizing the importance of the treaty with the EU, Cameron could have insisted that it is not the UK way to make such an important decision by the "petit oui" as the French did when it agreed to EMU. Cameron could have insisted on a 60% or 2/3 majority to accept the conclusion of the non-binding referendum.
The US reports August housing starts and permits today. Recall July housing starts represented a new post-crisis high. A small pullback is expected in August. On the other hand, permits, which are including among the leading economic indicators, slipped in July and are expected to bounce back in August. Barring a dramatic surprise, the time series is not typically a market-mover. This is especially true today ahead of the conclusion of the FOMC meeting tomorrow.
The September Fed funds contract continues to imply an average effective Fed funds rate of 40.75 bp this month. It has averaged 40 bp until now. However, on the last trading day of the month, the Fed funds effective rate has consistently fallen to 30 bp. If this pattern continues, then Fed funds will average 39.66 bp this month. Our calculation puts us closer to the CME assessment of 12% chance of a https://www.acheterviagrafr24.com/viagra-100mg/ hike rather than the Bloomberg estimate of 20%. That said, we are intrigued by the press reports suggesting that for the first time in this cycle, there is a disagreement among primary dealers, with two holding out the likelihood of a hike.

Can You Take it a Step Farther?
February was a topic month of rethinking the messages we send to others. Inspired by Trish Prabhu, a 16-year-old innovator, social entrepreneur, advocate and inventor of ReThink – an effective way to stop cyberbullying. This amazing app was designed to help users filter what they say and share through technology. This is an amazing program because often we are easily susceptible to react off of emotions. This app gives us the space to think, even if for a moment, and allows us to choose how we wish to react to a situation. The thing about emotions is that they are always changing and often what we say cannot be taken back. There is no erasing the permanent mark hurtful words can leave on a person. Seen or heard, they are always deeply felt.
When was the last time you were hurt? Who said it to you? Odds are you can recall exactly where you were at, the tone of their distinct voice or the shape of the font you read it in. Whether it was a harsh truth to be heard or a completely inaccurate statement, it often shot right to your heart. But did you ever think that we have an even greater hurt at times we are often unaware is even in the background?
No, it is not some weird creepy person lurking behind your every move, although it can seem as such. Have you ever stopped to hear what you say to yourself on a day-to-day basis? I challenge you to take it one step farther. What thoughts are running through your head? Pay special note to when negative emotions are running your thoughts. It is so easy for us to think and even worse, deeply believe those resounding words echoed in our mind.
Over time, it is like a subtle self-bullying tactic that can creep into our lives and fill us with purple bruises of fear, doubt and insecurity. From this vulnerable state we can often act irrationally or stoop to actions out of our character and lacking in integrity. This is occurring only because we are hurt on a deep emotional level. It's just as easy to take that pain out on yourself as it is on others. It is easy to compare and judge others as well as yourself. It is far too easy in this society to constantly compete to be "more". Rest assured, you are more than enough and that message should definitely be rethought.
I challenge you to use the app. Use it as not only a way to caution what you say to others, but what you say to yourself. Type in your thoughts after you make a subtle mistake, fail a test, spend too much money, etc. Would those phrases be spoken to your best friend? Now what would happen if you could turn those phrases, to yourself and to others, into something uplifting? Inspiring? Kind? Odds are you can also remember the times in which someone made you feel like you were appreciated and special to this world.
You are full of amazing gifts to share with this world and until you begin to truly believe those things on an innate level, you will really only stunt your own growth. Stop those bad thoughts dead in their tracks and gracefully replace each one with a more accurate or positive statement. Over time this will become your new habit and you will see your potential flourish the way it was meant to. Who knows, you might even brighten someone's spirit along the way as well.
Share your stories below and we can all learn how to best ReThink!


Cash Book – Every business activity ultimately result in cash, therefore, recording of transaction involving cash must be recorded in a separate journal. This journal is called cash book. It may be defined as the record of transaction relating to receipt of and payment in cash.
A Cash Book is a special journal which is used for recording all cash receipts and all cash payments. Cash Book is a book of original entry since transactions are recorded for the first time from the source documents. The Cash Book is larger in the sense that it is designed in the form of a Cash Account and records cash receipts on the debit side and cash payments on the credit side. Thus, the Cash-Book is both a journal and a ledger.
Therefore, all cash transaction began to be recorded separately in a book called the cash-book, which later began to be used to record bank book and discount transaction as well besides cash transaction by doing so daily checking of cash in hand and periodical checking of cash in hand and periodical checking of bank balance was rendered quick and easy. Although cash-book is a book of original entry, the use of cash-book as a subsidiary book is often dispensed with. It is an integral part of ledger. But nonetheless, it serves the dual purpose of journal as well as ledger.
In Simple Words – Cash transactions are straightaway recorded in the Cash Book and on the basis of such a record, ledger accounts are prepared. Therefore, the Cash-Book is a subsidiary book. But the Cash Book itself serves as the cash account and the bank account; the balances are entered in the trial balance directly. The Cash-Book, therefore, is part of the ledger also. Hence, it has also to be treated as the principal book. The Cash-Book is thus both a subsidiary book and a principal book.
(a) Only cash transactions are recorded in chronological order in the cash book.
(b) It performs the functions of both journal and ledger at the same time.
(c) All cash receipts are recorded on the debit side and all cash payments are recorded on the credit side.
(d) It records only one aspect of transaction i.e. cash.
(i) Single Column Cash Book- Single Column Cash book has one amount column on each side. All cash receipts are recorded on the debit side and all cash payments on the payment side, this book is nothing but a Cash Account and there is no need to open separate cash account in the ledger.
(iii) Triple Column Cash Book- Triple Column Cash Book has three amount columns, one for cash, one for Bank and one for discount , on each side. All cash receipts, deposits into book and discount allowed are recorded on debit side and all cash payments, withdrawals from bank and discount received are recorded on the credit side. In fact, a triple-column cash book serves the purpose of Cash Account and Bank Account both. Thus, there is no need to create these two accounts in the ledger.
(iv) The multi-column cash book having multiple columns on both the sides of the cash book.
(v) The petty Cash Book.
Is the Cash Book Journal or Ledger?
Cash Book is a book of original entry since transactions are recorded for the first time from the source documents.
The cash book is ledger in the sense that it is designed in the form of a Cash Account and records cash receipts on the debit side and cash payments on the credit side.

I am a little late getting this card made for last weekend's sketch challenge over at Stampin' Gals Gone Wild. I love Connie's weekend challenge and love to play along if I can.
This week I chose to emboss Very Vanilla card using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. I cut the swirly border from Soft Sky card using the Swirly Scribble Thinlit Dies and attached it across the bottom of the embossed card. The panel is attached to scored and folded Sahara Sand card. I cut a circle from the Falling in Love Designer Series Paper using the Layering Circles Framelits Dies and attached it a scalloped circle cut from Sahara Sand card using the same dies. The designer series paper panel is attached to the card front using dimensionals. I cut the solid dragonfly from the new Sweet Sugarplum Glimmer Paper available free during Sale-A-Bration. I cut the detailed dragonfly from Silver Foil card and attached it over the Glimmer Paper dragonfly using Glue Dots. I used my bone folder to add some dimension and shape to the wings and attached the dragonfly to the designer series paper using Glue Dots. For the final touch I added one of the Falling in Love Embellishments to the dragonfly, again using Glue Dots.
To decorate the inside of my card I cut the swirly border from Soft Sky card using the Swirly Scribble Thinlit Dies and attached it to the bottom of Very Vanilla card.
A simple enough card, but pretty, don't you think?
The hostess code for February is now closed, watch out for the March code.

Where to Find the Best Sunday Roast in London
There are so many Sunday lunches to choose from, but you deserve only the very best that London has to offer
May 31, 2020 ~
A traditional Sunday Lunch consists of only a few elements, therefore it should be executed to perfection; a roast piece of meat - beef by far the most popular - Yorkshire pudding swimming in gravy, roast potatoes (which must be crispy), all served alongside an assortment of accompaniments and finished with a moreish pudding. It is often described as a less grand version of a Christmas dinner. At these London institutions, however, Sunday lunch will most likely be superior to any Christmas meal you've ever tried before.
We have shared some of our favorites places for the best Sunday roast in London; some traditional, others not so.
The Grill at the Dorchester
After an extensive renovation - not only of the decor but a modernisation of the menu as well - this London institution is back and better than ever. Tom Booton is the youngest head chef this hotel has ever seen and persistently proves he is one to watch. His food is fine-dining free from formality and we think that this might just be a winning formula. If you don't fancy a classic roast beef, savour their signature cheesy cheddar tart with thermidor foam and a rich lobster bisque instead. Yes, it might sound a little la-di-da but trust us, you won't regret it. And if that doesn't tempt your tastebuds, there is a pudding bar; truly a bar solely dedicated to the most indulgent of desserts. Try the "double decker" - Tom's irresistible take on the Cadbury's chocolate bar (think: crispy, chewy, chocolatey).
The Harwood Arms
Gastropubs are having a moment and there's no surprise why; it is the superb combination of a reliable, comforting meal and a perfect pint. What more could you possibly want? While this may not be the easiest eatery to get a reservation at, the Harwood Arms is certainly worth the wait. And they have a Michelin Star to prove why. As London's only pub with a Star, they serve the very best of British produce with a focus on game and wild food in a stripped back setting. The 'gastropub' may be a trend for now, but we assure you, there's nothing quite like this one; it is certainly here to stay.
Hawksmoor
Hawksmoor is described as a meat-eater's paradise yet it represents so much more than just another ordinary steak house. Despite having six sites in London, the Hawksmoor team successfully maintains consistency in the quality of the food, whilst ensuring that each and every branch is personable and unique. Our favourite is the Knightsbridge establishment. (Shock.) The decor pays homage to its location - low-key glam with leather seats and marble tables. It's a roaring twenties restaurant that serves a cracking roast. While the meat is definitely the star of the show, this grill serves a selection of the finest seafood. You are in Knightsbridge, after all.
The Goring
Fancy somewhere fit for a Queen? The Goring is the place for you. Really, it is the one of the very few restaurants that the Queen visits. The dining room is quintessentially British and in a city where classic cuisine is no longer very classic, the Goring's Sunday lunch is as traditional as it gets. While Her Majesty may not really be a regular on the London restaurant scene (when you have several chefs at your disposal, why would you be?), this historical hotel's eatery remains a favourite of the royal family. Plus, their roast is phenomenal.
The Hero of Maida
Another one on the gastropub guide, previously known as the Truscott Arms famous for its Sunday roasts, the Hero of Maida had big boots to fill when it reopened in 2018 and it does not disappoint. With antique mirrors and timeless works of art adorning the walls of the dining room, this Maida Vale space is elegant and unassuming with a plethora of French flair; certainly not your typical pub. In terms of cuisine, Chef Henry Harris has composed a sophisticated menu that is très franglais, offering everything from fresh smoked salmon rillette to a succulent slow-braised Cotswold lamb shoulder. Their drinks menu is just as diverse; treat yourself to Portobello brew or a bottle of Côtes Catalane.
Min Jiang
So now for a different kind of Sunday lunch in London… As this city is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines, we thought it only made sense to include another sort of roast, something not quite as traditionally British, but something every Brit loves: roast duck. Which is exactly what Min Jiang is famous for. The Beijing duck that they carve table-side is our favourite on the menu. London clearly has its fair share of Chinese restaurants, and it's not as easy as you think to stumble across a good one. Luckily you have our expert team at Plum Guide on hand to help; and trust us, Min Jiang is one of the best. It is located on the tenth floor of the Royal Garden Hotel on Kensington High Street, however despite it being in a hotel, its clientele consists more of locals than tourists and its views overlooking Hyde Park are simply unbeatable.
So, fancy finding out for yourself which of these is the best Sunday roast in the city? Then start browsing our collection of world-class homes in London. Our finicky home critics have personally vetted the very best homes to guarantee your perfect stay. So all you have to worry about is which outfit you'll be wearing for a potential Sunday lunch run in with the Queen…

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine have found that yoga helps alleviate negative side effects of prostate cancer treatment.
The study found that men who attended a structured yoga class twice a week during prostate cancer radiation treatment reported less fatigue and better sexual and urinary function than those who didn't.
It is the first randomized trial to look at the effect of twice-weekly yoga on the side-effects and quality of life issues caused by prostate cancer treatment. The phase II trial was designed to measure potential therapeutic effects of yoga on fatigue, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence and overall quality of life in patients undergoing external beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
Between October 2014 to January 2016, 50 prostate cancer patients who underwent between six and nine weeks of radiation were randomized into two groups, one arm participated in a yoga class that met twice a week and the other arm served as a control group. Patients who already practiced yoga on their own were not eligible for the study, nor were patients with a history of prior radiation therapy or those with metastatic disease.
Only two instructors led classes for this study, with the lead instructor teaching 75 percent of the classes. Each session lasted for 75 minutes, beginning with 5 minutes of breathing and centering techniques and ending with 5 minutes of Savasana. Typical sessions incorporated sitting, standing, and reclining positions that were modified using props to adapt to each patient's needs and restrictions.
Patients were primarily evaluated on their level of fatigue. Each man filled out a nine-item questionnaire was given between two and three weeks before the start of radiotherapy, then twice a week while receiving radiotherapy, with a final survey filled out within a week of their last yoga class or last radiation treatment, depending on the assigned study arm.
The study found patients in the non-yoga group not only did not report decreased fatigue, but instead reported increasing fatigue as treatment progressed.
The study utilized the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire, in which scores range from 0-25. Scores greater than 21 are considered normal and scores below 12 indicate moderate to severe ED. Both groups started out with scores of around 11, and were balanced in terms of ADT exposure; but while the yoga group's score ended up largely unchanged from baseline, the non-yoga group saw a decline over the course of treatment.
The study appeared in International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics.

DPD Wants To Question DJ DTrain About His Involvement In Sundays' Ezekiel Elliott Incident, Blindwish Gets Signed To Rise Records & More Dallas Music Notes.
Yesterday, as you've all no doubt heard by now, the Dallas Cowboys' star running back Ezekiel Elliott found himself involved in yet another off-the-field incident. But, hey, this one's at least a little different in the sense that it may also involved a local DJ.
On Sunday night, the Dallas Police Department responded to a call they determined to be an aggravated assault on the the 2500 block of Cedar Springs Road. Per a Dallas Observer report, the victim was Daryl Ibeneme, also known as DJ DTrain. Video of what is alleged to be Ibeneme lying on the floor holding his nose surfaced online via TMZ. But, as of now, Elliott has not been arrested — not as related to this incident, anyway — and his name is not included in the police report.
Still, DPD is actively seeking DJ DTrain on Twitter to try to hear his side of what went down on Sunday.
@DJ_dTrain Can you please contact Detective Kreun with @DallasPD at 214-671-3617?
— Dallas Police Dept (@DallasPD) July 18, 2017
But, hey, here's a report there's no need to question: On Friday, venerable alternative label Rise Records announced that it had signed Dallas post-hardcore act Blindwish to its roster. The band now joins Memphis May Fire and Crown The Empire as Dallas representatives on Rise's roster. Along with the signing announcement, the band also released a new single called "After Midnight" that will come as part of the Good Excuses that Rise will release on September 1. Check out the video for the new song below.
Speaking of cool new things: Dallas rapper Bobby Sessions has been using his social media recently to tease the fact that he's been in the process of booking, by his estimation, the greatest show of the summer. And, now that he's unveiled some details about it, it's hard to argue with the man. Yesterday, the grateful. rapper announced the lineup to his so-called "The DDD Experience" that's set to take place at Club Dada on Saturday, August 5, unveiling that it will feature such local greats as Sam Lao, T.Y.E, Rikki Blu, Xes, a Blue, The Misfit DJ set and, of course, Sessions himself as the night's headliner. Sessions has developed a knack over the last couple of years for delivering great live shows as he's teamed up with the likes of RC & The Gritz, Picnictyme and -topic, and he went semi-viral at one of his last shows when he masterfully handled a drunk heckler on stage. Here's hoping he won't have to employ such tactics at this show, though.
Meanwhile, even after a busy performance schedule of his own of late, Post Malone's not showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon. The Grapevine spring singer-songwriter announced this week that he'll next be heading out on tour with Future. Whenever Post Malone is on the road, he generates headlines — whether it's play-fighting with the biggest pop star in the world, ordering thousands of dollars worth of Popeye's for his fans, crooning with mariachi bands or getting serenaded by his fans who catch him on the street — so expect some more news out of his camp in the coming weeks, we suppose.
Another Dallas-sprung talent who knows a thing or two about making her fans feel special is Demi Lovato. This past weekend, the pop starlet threw a house party this weekend for a lucky fan named Alexis Weekly in Southlake as part of a promotional tour for her new "Sorry Not Sorry" single. Per Guidelive's report from the scene, cars were lined up outside for five blocks outside of Weekly's home, special guests included the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar also gave one of his Dallas fans the gift of a lifetime this week when he came to town as part of his tour in support of DAMN. on Friday. Backstage at his show, Lamar hooked a fan named Jennifer Phillips up with all kinds of merch, and, in a far more touching move, completed a GoFundMe fundraiser meant to help the quadriplegic purchase a wheelchair accessible van.
Sweet in a different kind of way is a new offering from Golden's Own Kacey Musgraves, which finds her and her fiance Ruston Kelly covering a 1970 poem written by Johnny Cash to June Carter Cash titled "To June, This Morning." Per her Instagram post about it, the duet will be featured on an upcoming album called Johnny Cash Forever Words: The Music, which is a collection of Cash's poems set to music.
Last night @rustonkelly + I sang "To June, This Morning" – an actual poem Johnny Cash wrote in 1970 that we put to music. (It'll be on the upcoming 'Forever Words' project that will feature many different amazing artists) ❤
A post shared by K A C E Y M U S G R A V E S (@spaceykacey) on Jul 10, 2017 at 10:40am PDT
Grand Prairie's Own Selena Gomez also released a new single recently — this one with Gucci Mane. While it may not seem obvious that the two would share a chemistry, their "Fetish" single feels as natural as any pairing the two have done with other collaborators in the past. Guwop has an upcoming date at Gas Monkey Live on July 28, but whether he'll be throwing the new track into his deep catalog remains to be seen. Either way, give it a listen:
Lastly this week, here's some cool news worth keeping in mind: One of Dallas' all-time great almost-weres, The Buck Pets, have been inspired by their recent spate of reunion gigs to head back to the recording studio. No words on when the music will see the light of day, but we're looking forward to hearing it once it's ready, so long as it lives up to "Pearls", at least.

Abstract: In British Columbia, there are approximately 80 species of birds, mammals, and amphibians that depend on wildlife trees for their habitat requirements. Healthy populations of wildlife tree users are often an indicator of a healthy forest ecosystem. Without and adequate understanding of critical importance of wildlife trees and the impact forest management practices may have one wildlife tree dependant species, we cannot effectively manage our forests in an ecologically sound manner.

From greenhouse gas to rock in 25 years
New Solid Carbon research shows CO2 will turn to rock in 25 years in deep ocean basalt.
Newly published research by scientists with the Solid Carbon project shows that carbon dioxide (CO2) taken from the atmosphere and injected into the deep subseafloor off Vancouver Island may turn into solid rock in about 25 years.
Solid Carbon, an international research team led by Ocean Networks Canada (ONC), a University of Victoria initiative, and funded by a PICS Theme Partnership grant from the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions, hosted and led by UVic, is investigating how to permanently and safely sequester CO2 as rock in the ocean floor.
The project is part of the emerging field of negative emissions technologies—climate solutions that reduce the amount of carbon in the earth's atmosphere.
The new research, published this fall in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, the journal of The Geochemical Society and The Meteoritical Society, shows through sophisticated modelling and simulations how captured atmospheric carbon injected into porous, basalt rock, such as that found under the Cascadia Basin, may interact with different minerals in the basalt, creating carbonate rock.
The natural layer of sedimentary rock on top of the basalt, composed of up to 800 metres of sandstone and siltstone, keeps a lid on these "ingredients" while this process occurs. This cap keeps the CO2 interacting with the basalt rather than escaping.

Carbon dioxide (yellow) is injected into the permeable basaltic aquifer, where it flows with the aquifer fluids and reacts with the basalt to become solid carbonate minerals.

Benjamin Tutolo, a researcher with Solid Carbon and associate professor in the Department of Geoscience at the University of Calgary, says the research team projects that 25 years post-injection, 95 per cent of the CO2 will be mineralized.
"Once it's down there, it's not going to go anywhere for a long time," he says.
"What we have shown in this study is that carbon dioxide can transform to rock within 25 years as opposed to cases where mineralization takes many millennia," says Adedapo Awolayo, the research paper's principal author and a former post-doctoral fellow on the Solid Carbon research team.

The research also explored uncertainty by creating scenarios where the surface area of basalt that interacted with the CO2 varied. Even with these variations, the researchers still found mineralization could be expected within 100 years.
"The findings from this modelling of ocean basalt lay an incredibly strong foundation for our next steps," says Kate Moran, ONC's president and chief executive officer, who notes planning is underway for a Solid Carbon demonstration project in the Cascadia Basin.
If the demonstration project shows positive results, Moran says permanent apparatus could aim to start by injecting half a million tons of CO2 per year per sequestration site, potentially scaling up to more than 20 gigatons per year by 2100 with global deployment of the technology. Human activity adds around 50 gigatons of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere each year.
"It's important that we do this work now," Tutolo says, "because projections predict by the middle of the century, we need to be directly capturing 10 gigatons of CO2 per year out of the atmosphere."
Tutolo is quick to point out, however, that carbon-capture and-sequestration technology doesn't remove the need for decarbonization of a variety of industries.
"This is not a 'get out of jail free' card," Tutolo says. "All pathways to remain under 1.5 degrees of global warming require the use of negative emissions technologies such as this, but we also need to decarbonize the economy to get there. We need both."
Researchers with the Solid Carbon team are also exploring many other aspects of project implementation, from the best renewable energy source for the project, such as wind power, to the policy implications for various levels of government, and how best to involve communities and Nations who use and care for the Cascadia Basin.

SMBC ranks third in the world in terms of assets and has clearly committed to develop its trade and structured finance business in the region building on its strengths in Asia and the Middle East.


To persuade parents to vaccinate their children, public health authorities have been giving people facts about vaccines and the diseases that those vaccines prevent. Yet that strategy often backfires. When confronted with the fact that measles is a serious and potentially deadly or disabling disease that can be prevented by a remarkably safe and effective vaccine, many antivaccine parents dig in their heels and become even more strongly antivaccine. Public health workers are often baffled by this response. But as I explain in my upcoming book (No More Measles!), the explanation for this response can be found in the works of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. Aristotle's students compiled the classic textbook on rhetoric, which is the art of persuasive speech.
Logos refers to facts and logic.
Pathos is an appeal to emotion.
Ethos means character, such as the reputation of a speaker.
As I explain in my book Not Trivial, logos is the only means of persuasion that matters in a scientific discussion, which deals with facts and truth. But to make good choices, you need to use a combination of logos and pathos. First, you use logos to figure out what your options are. Then, you use pathos to pick the option that is likely to lead to the outcome that you want. Ethos becomes important when you don't have enough knowledge to use logos. For example, if you are a juror in a court case, you must listen to witnesses, including expert witnesses who will explain scientific issues. As a juror, you must decide whether a witness is telling the truth. You must make a judgment about the witnesses' ethos, or character.
Unfortunately, many people systematically trust the wrong sort of characters. Antivaccine parents trust faith healers instead of doctors. They trust uneducated bloggers and radio show hosts instead of real scientists. They trust millionaire alternative health entrepreneurs instead of the underpaid public health workers who are working to eradicate measles. Many people choose their authority figures as a way of establishing their social identity, such as Christian or "crunchy" or both. When you try to change their opinion about vaccines, you disparage their concept of who they want to be. The antivaccine parents are basing their opinions on their feelings about themselves and their chosen authority figures, not on facts and logic. As a result, they cannot be persuaded by facts and logic.
As I explain in my book Don't Feed the Narcissists!, an attempt to use facts and logic to persuade someone can backfire. When you try to use facts and logic to persuade someone, you are actually paying that person a compliment. You are implying that the person is smart and rational enough to take part in a serious conversation. Yet that person may perceive an insult, instead of a compliment. Often, they feel that they deserve a higher social rank than you do. In other words, they feel contempt for you. If you try to tell them something that they do not already know, they may feel that you are challenging them for their position within the social hierarchy. As a result, they may react with narcissistic rage. To defend what they feel is their rightful social rank, they may say and do things that make you doubt their intelligence or even their sanity. Thus, they sacrifice their ethos on the altar of their pride. As a result, you lose respect for them. Yet they are not necessarily stupid or insane. They simply have poor reasoning skills and inflated self‐esteem and thus cannot learn anything from you.
We are confronted with two problems that pose a serious threat to public health. One is measles. The other is irrationality: the inability or unwillingness to be persuaded by facts and logic. Fortunately, we can drive measles into extinction through a worldwide vaccination campaign. Unfortunately, we will always have to contend with irrationality.
You will never be able to persuade the antivaccination zealots in the United States to vaccinate their children. However, we may be able to drive the measles virus into extinction through a worldwide measles eradication campaign. As I explain in my book No More Measles!, once the measles virus is no longer circulating anywhere in the world, there will be no more need for the measles vaccine. Thanks to widespread use of the measles vaccine, measles had stopped circulating in the United States by the year 2000. Yet we are still having outbreaks of measles in the United States because unvaccinated travelers keep bringing it back from overseas.
Currently, the Measles and Rubella Initiative (http://www.measlesrubellainitiative.org/) is working to drive measles and rubella into extinction worldwide. Measles, mumps, and rubella are caused by viruses that occur only in human beings. Today, these viruses are still circulating, mainly in poor countries. If people in the rich countries support the vaccination campaigns in the poor countries, then the viruses that cause measles, mumps, and rubella will be driven into extinction. At that point, the MMR vaccine will be dropped from the vaccination schedule, just as the smallpox vaccination was. So please give some money to the Measles and Rubella Initiative!
Measles can be eradicated, but irrationality will always be with us. Fortunately, we can work to reduce irrationality by reforming the public school curriculum. Our public schools are failing to teach the traditional disciplines that help children grow up to be wise and reasonable. As I explain in my book Not Trivial: How Studying the Traditional Liberal Arts Can Set You Free , most of our public grammar schools in the United States have stopped teaching much grammar. Yet grammar provides the basic skills that students need before they can begin to study logic. If people never learn logic, they will never learn how to make or understand logical arguments. Thus, they cannot use logos for figuring out the answers to scientific questions. All that's left is pathos and ethos, which explains why so many of our public discussions quickly degenerate into fear‐mongering and name‐calling and fail to lead to a useful result.

Profil Atlas Sound dan artis favorit lain hanya di Lirikbagus.id.
Atlas Sound is the name of a musical solo project of Bradford Cox, the lead singer of Deerhunter. Cox was born in Athens, Georgia in 1982. In early 2008 he released his first album entitled Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel on indie-labels Kranky and 4AD. His second album, Logos, was released in fall 2009 to critical acclaim. In explaining his reasoning for a solo project, Cox has stated, "It's just that I have ideas that I can't make work with a five-piece rock band...there's kind of this palette of sounds that I use that I don't necessarily get to use with Deerhunter". Cox has noted his heroes to be Cindy Wilson from B-52's and Laura Carter from Athens punk band the Bar-B-Q Killers.
Cox met his collaborator and best friend, Lockett Pundt, in high school. He started recording on a cassette karaoke machine in 1994 when he was in sixth grade. He has used the name "Atlas Sound" since then, as it was the name of the company that manufactured the tape machine. Cox has also recorded as part of other bands, such as the short lived "Wet Dreams", an all-girl garage/noise band in which he played drums. He also recorded several tracks on the Black Lips second album We Did Not Know the Forest Spirit Made the Flowers Grow, playing drums on the song Notown Blues from that album.

Focus on the zone around a tree as much as where the branches extend. Roots can extend beyond this zone however this is the area where roots are more delicate. The secret is to make sure that the soil is not too compact so that roots can keep soaking up water and oxygen.
Think of the bark as an armour that safeguards the tree. Protecting the tree bark will prevent infections, diseases or insect activity. Watch out for possible risks that could harm tree bark, consisting of:.
Vehicles: trees near roads or driveways can suffer hits from high vehicles. Get rid of lower branches to prevent damage and ensure trees show up at night.
Sprinkler system: a spray of water that over and over again strikes bark at the very same place can cause damage. If you use sprinklers to water your lawn, make certain these don't directly hit trees.
Trees generally prosper well in existing wetness conditions and do not need any additional watering. However, depending upon your regional climate, you might have to water your trees throughout extended durations of dry spell. If you do have to water trees in the summer season, an occasional deep watering is preferred to a frequent misting. In winter season trees shouldn't need any watering.
Low branches: eliminate branches that are low and are vulnerable to damage (i.e. by an impact). You can likewise get rid of low branches for aesthetic purposes.
Plant grass or some type of ground cover. Dead plant product will decay in the ground and enhance the soil. Ensure your plants can prosper in the shade and that their roots don't compete with the tree.

Fisker's Electric SUV Has a Gigantic Jaw
Filed to:Fisker
Most non-car people are familiar with Fisker because of the striking-looking-if-flawed Fisker Karma, though the man has designed some other well-known and remarkable cars like the BMW Z8 and Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Fisker announced a plan Monday morning to introduce a mass-market SUV priced around $40,000 and with a planned range of 300 miles. It also has a massive face.
This announcement comes on the heels of Tesla's Model Y announcement last week, which is also an all-electric SUV to be priced somewhere around $40,000. Considering that this SUV announcement is something of a surprise since up until now Fisker had been pushing their EMotion sedan with the bonkers doors, it appears that perhaps Tesla's announcement caused Fisker to shuffle their plans.
Also, it's reported that the solid-state battery tech planned for the EMotion isn't ready yet, too, which is also a likely reason for a shift in focus.
The still-nameless SUV has Fisker's trademark bold styling. In this case, most of that styling seems to have focused on the massive bumper area, which incorporates two large side air intake nostrils and a huge non-grille section in the middle with a grille-suggesting "parametric" pattern.
Also interesting is the small glass window for the radar emitter unit just above the not-grille area, a refreshing unashamed way to deal with a radar emitter window instead of trying to hide it like it's something to be embarrassed by, like many other automakers.
As yet nothing is known about the SUV's actual interior volume or overall size or, anything, really, though Fisker did suggest it could be, among other things, "open-air":
"With the touch of a button, an extended open-air atmosphere will be made possible without compromising the rugged and safe structural integrity of an SUV. The vastly spacious interior is complemented by a modern aesthetic and high-quality materials. Dashboard features will include a large heads-up display and a unique, intuitive user interface that will control some of the latest emerging in-vehicle technologies."
Supposedly the SUV, which is planned to be built in America, will have two motors, front and rear, for AWD, and a prototype is expected at the end of the year.
I guess we'll see what happens. Hopefully it'll turn out better than the Karma.

Q: How get id of mail new I'm using gmail api to get id of mail new in five minutes once. I used total mail new minus total mail old to get id of mail new. But Total of mail is very large, time process very long. Is there any algorithm to get id of mail new  that can handle faster ?

A: You can save the timestamp when you get new messages and use that in the query next time you list messages.
Example
Let's say you list new messages at Sat Mar 25 2017 21:06:53 GMT+0100 (CET). This is the same as 1490472413 seconds since the epoch. Just use this in the next listing with the query after:1490472413.

Q: How does these special characters work in Perl? print "\e[4m", $prompt, "\e[24m", "\e[1m";

It seems it doesn't work in bash:
[root@dev-test ~]$ echo "\e[4mhello world\e[24m\e[1m"
\e[4mhello world\e[24m\e[1m

A: "\e" means ESC which is used for VT100 escape sequences and similar. Perl understands the "\e" escape sequence in strings and interprets it as a the ESC character (it can also be written as "\33" or "\x1b").
To use ESC with echo, supply the -e option which enables these escapes to be processed:
echo -e "\e[4mhello world\e[24m\e[1m"

The transformation from the two characters "\e" to the single ESC character (with the value 0x1B) is done by echo itself (with -e) -- the shell does not handle the escapes which appear in quotes. The link for echo above also includes an example of such usage.
Happy coding.

If you're relocating to the Sacramento area, or just thinking about it, you'll find this page to be an excellent resource for all your relocation information needs.
Sacramento is located in the heart of California's Central Valley and is home to the State Capitol. The city is ideally situated between San Francisco and Lake Tahoe, making it easy to reach either destination within about two hours. With a metro population of over 2 million people, Sacramento offers an incredible array of recreation, entertainment and cultural experiences. Although state government is the largest employer in the region, Sacramento also has a diverse economy and business community.
The greater metro area also boasts some of the fastest growing cities in the country; Lincoln, Roseville, Rocklin and Granite Bay comprise several bustling towns along the I-80 corridor heading northeast, while just south of there, along Highway 50, you'll find the communities of Rancho Cordova, Folsom and El Dorado Hills. Some of these busy suburbs are also home to some of the best performing public schools in the state.
If you like nature and the outdoors, the Sacramento region has few peers. World class skiing is just a short drive to either the south or north shores of Lake Tahoe – host of the 1960 Winter Olympics – where you'll have access to some of the best slopes and finest resorts in the country. During the summer, Tahoe, which is the highest alpine lake in the country, turns into a fishing and boating paradise. The area is also home to hundreds of miles of walkable trails for hikers.
Within just minutes of downtown Sacramento is the Folsom Lake recreation area, which offers a multitude of year round outdoor activities. The American River, which runs from Folsom Lake right through the city, is famous not only for fishing but also for white water rafting. The Sacramento River meets the American River and courses right along the downtown section of the city, where you'll be treated to beautiful riverfront views, bridges and even an old fashioned riverboat cruise.
If riding a bike is your thing then you'll be right at home as Sacramento is considered to be one of the most "bike friendly" cities in the country. In fact, Virgin Vacations voted Davis, California (a college town located 15 miles southwest of Sacramento), the 5thmost bike friendly city in the entire world!
With such a growing population, and close proximity to major entertainment hubs San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Sacramento region is treated to some of the best entertainment options available. Whether it's concerts or Broadway spectacles, most major productions include Sacramento as a regular part of their tour itinerary. For sports fans, the Sleep Train Arena is home to the NBA's Sacramento Kings and the venue of choice for a variety of world class sporting events, shows and entertainers.
Dining is a treat in and around Sacramento, with a myriad of menus comprising virtually every ethnic variety under the sun, and reflecting the area's cosmopolitan personality. From five star elegance, to quaint bistros or the local bar & grille, Sacramento has something for everyone and reflects the best of what California has to offer. Many restaurants and grocers take full advantage of the areas fantastic meat, dairy and produce, using only the freshest ingredients found locally here in the Central Valley.

If you have certain kind of views about certain kind of politics or you align with a certain way of thinking when it comes to sociopolitically sensitive matters, geopolitical controversies, or culturally delicate situations, you could be unverified on Twitter.
"Verification was meant to authenticate identity & voice but it is interpreted as an endorsement or an indicator of importance. We recognize that we have created this confusion and need to resolve it.
"Verification has long been perceived as an endorsement. We gave verified accounts visual prominence on the service which deepened this perception. We should have addressed this earlier but did not prioritize the work as we should have. This perception became worse when we opened up verification for public submissions and verified people who we in no way endorse.
"We're working on a new authentication and verification program. In the meantime, we are not accepting any public submissions for verification and have introduced new guidelines for the program.
They link to the new guidelines over on the official Twitter support site to explain how you can now lose your verified status if you did manage to get verified.
Intentionally misleading people on Twitter by changing one's display name or bio.
This led a lot people to question the verification system in the first place, since it was originally supposed to verify that the person is who they say they are. It's how you determine the fake Donald Trump trolls from the real one. It's how you can tell which one of the popular celebrities or politicians on Twitter are the real ones and which ones are the impersonators. Verified accounts get additional privileges of having their tweets shown through some of the more noise that can sometimes crowd up a feed.
Removing the blue checkmark isn't the end of the world, but essentially having the service tell users that someone is no longer who they say they are because they adopt the wrong policies or politics means that only people Twitter approve of are allowed to be viewed as verified.
Twitter promptly exercised this measure by unverifying a number of far right Conservatives.
I'm seriously considering stop tweeting.
Yes, I know some might say "Don't let the SJWs win!" But the fact is, I have no confidence in the platform. De-verfiying seems like a first step towards banning.
There are fake conservatives who claim to be pro free speech who are laughing at me being unverified on twitter. Being pro free speech isn't selective. It means you support everyone's speech, even if you don't like them.
The problem with "the right" is the total lack of loyalty.
This fits in line with previous efforts by Twitter to unverify outspoken provocateurs such as Milo Yiannopolous before permanently banning him. Twitter also banned popular YouTuber Sargon of Akkad.
Twitter has been accused in the past of selectively banning and censoring Conservatives, and so far their actions don't seem to dispute that claim.
Many questioned why certain extreme Leftists were not banned or unverified for certain tweets that clearly violated Twitters new rules.
So far, Twitter hasn't exactly outlined why they must endorse the views of those they verify in order to verify them. However, for people who hold views that they don't endorse, they will be unverifying them on the social media service.

Heavy snow disrupts life in HP
Snowfall in Kasauli after 5 years
Tribune Reporters
Shimla, January 27
Normal life in the hill state was completely disrupted as heavy snow and rain continued to lash the region for the second day today.
While Shimla, Manali and Dalhousie recorded the heaviest snowfall of the season, some lower areas like Solan, Chail and Barog experienced the first snowfall. The lower and upper areas of the town received 15 cm to 25 cm of snowfall. Mount Jakhoo, the highest peak in the town, recorded 30 cm of snowfall.
The nearby tourist resorts of Kufri, Fagu and Shali Tibba were under knee-deep snow. Narkanda, Kharapathar and other higher areas of Shimla district had received 60 cm of snowfall by this evening and the Hatoo peak overlooking Narkanda was covered with a-100 cm thick white blanket. The heavy snow has revived the possibility of skiing in Narkanda.
The internationally famous ski slopes at Solang Nullah had received 120 cm of snowfall, while Manali was under 25 cm of snowfall. McLeodganj in Dharamsala had the second snowfall of the season.
The tribal districts of Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti reeled under intense cold as heavy snow continued for the third consecutive day. The minimum temperature in Kaza plunged to minus 28°C the lowest of the season.
Heavy snow blocked the 320-km Hindustan-Tibet highway at several places. Kinnaur and upper parts of Shimla district beyond the state capital, including Chopal, Thanedhar, Rohroo and Jubbal-Kotkhai were cut off. The people of these areas had to go without milk, bread, vegetables and other items of daily use. The Rampur-bound buses were diverted via the Dhami-Basantpur road. The Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) plied one bus service to Rohroo via Nahan. While the flow of the traffic on the Shimla-Chandigarh highway was normal, the circular road skirting the main town was opened by the evening.
Hundreds of tourists who have converged on the state capital from the nearby plains to enjoy snow were delighted to see the hills donning an impeccable white mantle. The thick white layer covering the trees, roofs and the ground transformed the landscape virtually into a fairyland. A festive atmosphere prevailed on the Ridge and the Mall as winter revellers had fun exchanging snowballs, having photo sessions and some of them trying to make snowmen.
The lower areas, including Bilaspur, Mandi, Hamirpur and Kangra experienced heavy rain. The heavy snowfall has raised hopes for a good apple crop.
KASAULI: Cheer filled residents as the town and the surrounding areas received the season's first snowfall on Sunday afternoon. Spreading a white mantle over the entire landscape, it brought festivity with the residents coming out to play in the snow.
The town had snowfall after a gap of five years. It proved to be a blessing for the weekend revellers from Chandigarh and the surrounding areas who had rushed to the town hoping for a snow fall.
MANALI: The entire Manali region experienced fresh snow while the lower areas of the valley had widespread rain on Sunday. The heavy snowfall on the 14,000-foot-high Bhrigu slopes, the 14,084-foot-high Hamta slopes and the 13,050-foot high Rohtang Pass brought cheers to the faces of heli ski lovers who have been camping here for heli-skiing.
In Manali tourists ventured out to enjoy the snow.
The famous ski slopes of Solang Nullah, Kothi, Gulaba and Dhundi also experinced fresh snow.
Traffic remained suspended on the Manali-Kothi and the Manali-Kulu (left bank) route between Manali and Naggar.
MANDI: The Mandi region has had a heavy snowfall. It started snowing on Saturday night and continued till Sunday morning in the higher reaches of Mandi and the adjoining districts.
Rohanda, Pandar, Nihri, and Bandli were covered under a thick sheet of snow when people woke up in the morning. Heavy snowfall has been reported from Janjehli, Shikari Devi, Gadagusaini and the Chuhar valley.
The high-altitude lakes in this district like Kamru Nag, Prashar and Dehna Sar have reportedly been buried under several feet of snow.
Traffic, telecommunications and power supply have been partially affected due to the snowfall.
