The Physics Of Stars And Their Astronomical Identification
In this study of the physics of stars and their astronomical identification, It is evident that stars undergo certain physical processes as they live through their life cycle. How gravity, magnetic field and nuclear fusion play a role in stellar evolution is explained extensively. This research describes the structure and evolution of stars. The structure and evolution of a star is determined by the laws of Hydrostatic equilibrium, energy transport and generation and conservation of energy while the mass of the star is the governing factor in the evolution and structure of the star and determines its properties. Also, stellar spectra is discussed in this work. Different elements absorb different wavelengths of light. The spectrum of a star lets us know what elements are in the star. Finally, stars and how they are identified astronomically is also discussed as different stars have different astronomical identification.
1.1 Background of the Study
The study of stars is of very crucial value in astronomy as the stars are a fundamental unit of galaxies, which are very important building blocks of the universe. The physics of this stars is a relevant area that needs to be covered in order to uncover what causes stars to behave the way they behave when they are formed, during their life time and when they die.
The structure and evolution of a star is determined by the laws of Hydrostatic equilibrium, energy transport and generation and conservation of energy. The mass of the star is the governing factor in the evolution and structure of the star and determines its properties.
This study will enable one to understand the physical science behind the life cycle of stars and their astronomical identification, as it covers the physical processes (Hydrostatic equilibrium, conservation of energy, energy transport) that occur during their lifetime.
The basic units of luminous matter in the whole universe are the stars. A star is a luminous globe of gas producing its own heat and light by nuclear reactions (nuclear fusion). It is therefore important to study and to know the astrophysics behind the formation, the life, the explosion or death of stars and also their astronomical identification and properties. With respect to the formation of stars, there have been some views about how stars are formed with relation to physics over the centuries. According to McNally, (1971), there are four major groups of star formation theory which include formation under the influence of gravity, formation by random accretion, formation by condensation, and formation by processes associated with the activity of galactic nuclei. More attention is given to the formation under the influence of gravity because its conceptual framework is considered better defined than that of the others.
The formation under the influence of gravity, which is the oldest, was coined out from the universal law of gravitational attraction proposed by Isaac Newton (Larson, 2003). It inferred that stars were formed by gravitational attraction and condensation of diffuse matter in space. This concept is very old but it is only in the past century that the evidence has become convincing that the stars are being formed by condensation of diffuse interstellar matter in our galaxy and others and it is only in recent decades that we have begun to gain some physical understanding of how this happens. Observations at many wavelengths, especially radio and infrared have led to great advances in the knowledge of the physics of stars. On the intermediate scale of stars forming giant molecular clouds, turbulence and magnetic field now come into play as the most important effects counteracting gravity, which is the major force acting in space as a whole. Thermal pressure becomes very important in resisting gravity on the small scales of individual pre-stellar cloud cores (Larson, 2003). It sets a minimum mass that a cloud core must have in order to collapse under gravity to form stars. After the collapse of a cloud core begins, centrifugal force and angular momentum become in halting contraction and forming a binary or multiple system of stars. When a very small central region eventually attains stellar density, increase of thermal pressure halts the collapse and a protostar forms and continues to grow.
In this inception stage of the life cycle of a star, it is seen that there are some physical conditions that play important roles which include mainly gravitational attraction, electromagnetic waves, magnetic field, thermal pressure, centrifugal force and angular momentum, associated with it.
As a star matures it exhausts the supply of its main fuel which is hydrogen. Originally, the star undergoes a proton-proton chain reaction which allows the hydrogen to fuse, first to deuterium, then to helium. A Carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (C-N-O) reaction also contributes a large portion of the energy generation. This enormous energy generated by the core of the star exerts a radiation pressure, balancing the weight of the star's matter thereby preventing further gravitational collapse. At this stage, the star starts becoming stable.
As time progresses, the core of the star exhausts its hydrogen supply, and the energy required to counter the effect of gravity drops until the core becomes hot enough helium fusion to begin. What happens after a star ceases to produce energy through helium fusion now depends on the mass of the star, whether it is a low mass star, a mid-sized star or a massive star.
For a low mass star, what happens has not been directly observed. But recent astrological models suggests that red dwarfs with mass 0.1 M☉ may stay on the main sequence for six to twelve trillion years, gradually increasing in both temperature and luminosity. And take several hundred billion years more to collapse slowly into a white dwarf (Sky and Telescope, 1997).
For the mid-sized star of about 0.5-10 M☉, they become red giants during two different phases of their post-main-sequence evolution: red-giant-branch stars, whose inert cores are made of helium, and asymptotic-giant-branch stars, whose inert cores are made of carbon. Asymptotic-giant-branch (AGB) stars have helium-burning shells inside the hydrogen-burning shells, whereas red-giant-branch stars have hydrogen-burning shells only (Hansen et al, 2004). These mid-range stars ultimately reach the tip of the asymptotic-giant-branch and run out of fuel for shell burning. They then contract and produce a planetary nebula with a central star. The central star then cools to a white dwarf.
The massive stars already have cores that are large enough hydrogen burning and helium ignition. They expand and cool and are much brighter than low mass stars, but do not brighten as much as the lower mass stars. These massive stars are unlikely to survive as red supergiants; instead, they will destroy themselves as typeII supernovas. Extremely massive stars loss mass so rapidly due to radiation pressure that they tend to strip off their own envelopes before they can expand to become red supergiants. If the core of the star is not too massive (less than approximately 1.4 M☉, taking into account mass loss that has occurred by this time), it may then form a white dwarf.
1.2 Aims and Objectives of the Study
This study will enable one to explain the characteristics of stars at the different stages of their life cycle. It will aid one to know the elements involved in the different stages of their evolution.
The study is aimed at unveiling and summarizing the physical processes involved in the formation of stars, how they mature and live, and how they eventually die.
The study is aimed at exploring the astronomical identification of stars from different views.
Stars undergo some physical processes during their evolution. What are this processes and how do they govern the evolution of stars?
The mass of a star is determined by different factors in physics. What are the factors and how do they determine the mass of stars?
Light and heat are emitted by stars continuously and spontaneously. How is this emission of light and heat by stars related to Physics?
Stars generate large amount of energy from reactions that go on within the. What are these reactions and how do they lead to such massive generation of energy?
How does the mass of a star affect its luminosity and structure when it exhausts its supply of fuel?
What are the astronomical identification of stars?
The physics of stars is a major aspect in astrophysics. The stars are one of the major building blocks of the universe and therefore should be studied intensely from every aspect (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry).
This study covers the physics of stars formation and the process they undergo to be born; how the stars go through different processes for continuous luminosity as they mature and the physics behind it; and the physics behind their explosion or collapse as they go into the final stage of their life cycle.
Being able to identify these stars astronomically is also very important in astrophysics. This work encompasses different identifications of stars in astronomy.
1.5 Significance of Study
Once we look beyond the solar system, most of what we can learn about the universe is based on observing stars. They emit photons profusely, and we have the means to study photons in detail. We can study their life cycles, how they are distributed in space, how they group into clusters and galaxies, their effects on the surrounding gas and dust.
Fortunately, stars are profoundly important for our universe, even though they do not dominate its total material (most is in a dark form that we know little about). Not only do they light up the sky, they produce the raw materials that make life possible, and if there is life out there, it is most likely orbiting a star on its planet. We compensate for the relatively little we can learn about a single, typical star by studying them in their diversity and trying to understand how the physical properties change in groups that may include a range of masses, ages, and so forth.

In the Bronx and everywhere else in New York, possession of drug paraphernalia is a very serious offense. Paraphernalia related to drugs can be anything from items used to take drugs, to plant it, store it or make illicit drugs, including marijuana, methamphetamine, LSD or anything else that is an illegal narcotic. A person can be arrested by the police for simply having a drug like marijuana stored in a small plastic bag. Additionally, it's very common for drugs to be stored in laundry bins.
It's important to note that possessing an item for drugs is not always illegal. If the device is unused, a person cannot be arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia. For instance, some shops sell bongs as novelty items. If someone purchases one of these bongs but uses it as a knickknack and the item is found to be clean, with no traces of drugs, there is no possession of drug paraphernalia crime.
What Specifically is Considered Drug Paraphernalia in New York?
There are two categories of drug paraphernalia according to New York law. They are user-specific products and dealer-specific products.
• User-Specific Products: This category includes any item that is used by drug users for the purpose of taking or concealing an illegal drug. Examples of these items are pipes, bongs, roach clips, vaporizers, needles, grow kits and freebase kits.
• Dealer-Specific Products: This category includes items that are used by drug dealers and drug traffickers so that they can make and distribute illegal drugs. Examples of such items include chemicals, vials and scales, among others.
What Factors Do Courts Consider in a Possession of Drug Paraphernalia Case?
What Else Should You Know About Drug Paraphernalia?
It is of utmost importance to remember that, although drug paraphernalia and even ingredients typically used to make drugs are not actually drugs. However, at the same time, law enforcement officials frequently treat those items as if they are drugs. If you find yourself in a situation where a police officer overzealously wants to arrest you and charge you with a drug-related crime simply for possessing a certain item, you may be able to get out of those charges. Having the right criminal defense attorney on your side is absolutely essential and can determine your future. Any type of drug charges can be very serious and carry serious consequences that can affect your good name. You may face lengthy prison time and later discover that your life is completely turned upside down even after you are released. Individuals who face drug-related convictions frequently find it difficult to find employment, rent a home, qualify for a loan and even get into a good college.
If you have been arrested and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia in the Bronx or anywhere else in New York, you must have a reputable criminal defense attorney working on your side. It is your best chance of having the charges against you reduced or even dropped. Be sure to contact an attorney at your earliest convenience.

In 1973, Maggie Beer and husband Colin settled in the Barossa Valley, with the intention of breeding game birds and growing grapes. The establishment of their farm led to the
now legendary Pheasant Farm Restaurant. The restaurant became highly acclaimed and was, in 1991, awarded the Remy Martin Cognac - Australian Gourmet Traveller
Restaurant of the Year award.
With the closure of the restaurant in 1993, Maggie was free to pursue new directions, and in 1996 the Export Kitchen in Tanunda was opened. These days, her career spans farming, food production, as well as television presenting and food writing. Maggie's appearance on the hit ABC programme The Cook & The Chef cemented her place as one of Australia's most well known food personalities, and her line of products is arguably the most highly esteemed and much loved range for Australian gourmets.
Of all the accolades given to Maggie, being chosen as Senior Australian of the Year in 2010, and then South Australian of the Year 2011, have been two enormous highlights of a truly busy life. In addition to these achievements, Maggie was thrilled to be appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for her service to tourism and hospitality on Australia Day in 2012. On September 19th 2013, Maggie was absolutely thrilled to receive a Doctor of Business honoris causa from Macquarie University, presented by Vice Chancellor Professor Bruce Dowton in a graduation ceremony for the Faculty of Human Sciences and Faculty of Business and Economics.
Most recently, Maggie was thrilled to find herself starring on a postage stamp as one of the winners of the Australia Post Australian Legends Award. Australia Post initiated the award in 1997 to honour living Australians who have made a unique contribution to our way of life, inspired the community and influenced the way Australians think about themselves and their country - and it was agreed that has Maggie's name all over it!
Her appearances on television have been numerous, with the most notable being her involvement with Channel 10's Masterchef, setting new ratings records for the episodes she featured in. The Lifestyle Channel have also shone the spotlight on Maggie with a Christmas Special devoted to seasonal menus and celebration. On that theme, Maggie also returned to the ABC in 2012 to share her family Christmas in the Barossa.
A good food life for all, and all that encompasses, is what drives Maggie. As part of this philosophy, Maggie is proud to be the South Australian Ambassador for the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation, whose inspirational programme can truly change lives. Maggie's hope for every Australian to have a good food life leads her to work on many levels, with the hope of encouraging everyone (young, old and in between!) to enjoy quality, seasonal cooking every day.

That's a good point about it being a limited field. In the research I have done so far it looks like its a very in demand career. I think there is something to be said for having a very specific degree.... With almost two decades of experience working with prosthetists all over the country, both receiving and providing referrals, Robert Gailey, PhD, PT, University of Miami School of Medicine, Department of Orthopaedics, Division of Physical Therapy, says, "I have never heard of a physical therapist attempting to fabricate prostheses at any level.
For the centre's prosthetist Greg Peart, designing noses, eyes, ears, fingers and toes involves working with a medical team to complement his technical and artistic expertise.
This is the task of a prosthetist, who specializes in the fabrication and fitting of prosthetic limbs. Because prosthetists work to interface artificial devices with the human body, they need a wide range of skills in areas such as engineering, anatomy and physiology.
That's a good point about it being a limited field. In the research I have done so far it looks like its a very in demand career. I think there is something to be said for having a very specific degree.

Frederick Douglass Jazz Works with Ruth Naomi Floyd
On Saturday, February 22, 2020, Fieldstead and Company welcomed back singer/songwriter Ruth Naomi Floyd and her jazz ensemble for a concert, spoken word, and interpretive dance performance celebrating the legacy and spirit of legendary American abolitionist and statesman, Frederick Douglass. This performance, drawing upon the essence of improvisation, blends together forms of interpretive dance, jazz, and spoken word to communicate a uniquely African-American experience while conveying a broader spiritual message that unites all humanity. A vocalist and composer for over 20 years, Ruth Naomi Floyd has created a discography explicitly dedicated to a sacred jazz expression. She leads her own multi-faceted ensemble and her recordings consist primarily of original compositions. Blessed with a soaring mezzo-soprano voice, Ruth's music has been praised by critics for its distinctive sound of progressive ensemble jazz that is seamlessly blended with messages of hope, faith, redemption, and love. A committed music educator, Ruth is the Director of Jazz Studies at Cairn University, Langhorne, Pennsylvania and an Adjunct and Artist in Residence at Temple University. She also teaches music at The City School in Philadelphia. Rooted and grounded in a faith ethos, Ruth has been a presence and worker in areas of the arts and social justice throughout her career. She wholeheartedly believes that it is the duty of the artist to be the truth-teller of society and to speak against injustice. Holding these themes in poetic tension within her body of creative work, Ruth has lectured prolifically on the intersection of beauty, theology, justice, culture and the arts at numerous universities, seminaries, conferences, and academic settings around the world.

El 9 de marzo se celebra el Día Mundial de la Tortilla de Patatas y del campero.

El día de la tortilla es un día de fiesta popular celebrada en varios municipios españoles. En algunos de ellos coincide con el día de comienzo del carnaval, es decir, con el jueves Lardero. Es costumbre la peregrinación de los habitantes del municipio a una zona tradicional de la propia localidad o cercana a ella a pasar el día, normalmente en el campo fuera del núcleo urbano. La costumbre obliga a llevar como alimento al menos la tortilla que da nombre a la festividad, normalmente una tortilla de patatas, ya sea sola o en bocadillo. Según la localidad o provincia española las actividades que se realizan durante esta festividad son diferentes, ajustándose a la tradición de cada municipio.

Localidades en las que se celebra

Provincia de Ávila

 Sanchidrián. Se celebra el 25 de marzo. Es tradición ir al río con la familia o los amigos a comer una buena tortilla de patata de 6 huevos, con 2 tajadas lomo y 2 buenas longanizas de matanza dentro de una exquisita hogaza de pan. También es típico el bollo de la tortilla. El día 26 es conocido como el día de las sobras.

Provincia de Lugo
 Vivero. Se celebra el domingo previo a domingo de ramos. Es tradición ir al campo o a la playa con amigos y familia y comer distintos tipos de tortilla de patata.

Provincia de Badajoz
 Talarrubias. Se celebra por primera vez el día 20 de abril, posiblemente sea la fecha definitiva. La gente del pueblo se va a un paraje cercano denominado "El Corchuelo" y allí se ponen todas las comidas en común para que cada uno coja lo que quiera.
 Villanueva de la Serena. Se celebra en primavera y lo celebran ya que es el primer sitio en el que se tiene registro de que crearon la tortilla de patatas.

Provincia de Burgos
 Sandoval de la Reina. Se celebra desde inicios de la década de 1990, como una de las actividades del mes de agosto, con motivo de la mayor presencia de sandovaleses y oriundos de Sandoval. Tiene forma de concurso, con un jurado y la concesión de premios. Finalmente y a continuación, se consumen en desgustación popular.

Provincia de Cáceres

 Peraleda de San Román. En este tranquilo y acogedor pueblo se celebra el domingo de Resurrección, normalmente en las riberas del Tajo o del Gualija, aquí a las tradicionales tortillas se unen los embutidos caseros y las chuletillas de cabrito, todo regado con el excelente vino de pitarra de la zona.

Provincia de Granada

 Galera. Se celebra el primer día de carnaval, jueves Lardero.

Provincia de Guadalajara

 Azuqueca de Henares. Suele celebrarse en febrero, en 2008 tuvo lugar el 31 de enero, en 2009 tuvo lugar el 19 de febrero, en 2010 tuvo lugar el 11 de febrero, en 2011 tuvo lugar por primera vez en marzo (ya que todos los años se había celebrado en enero o febrero), el 3 de marzo y en 2012 tuvo lugar el 16 de febrero. Es una tradición establecida de acuerdo al calendario juliano. Se celebra el jueves anterior al miércoles de ceniza.

Es costumbre que en los colegios e institutos de la localidad se suspendan las clases a partir de media mañana para celebrar esta
tradición, aunque en 2013 no fue así.
 Torija. Se celebra el Jueves Lardero. Jueves de Carnaval inmediato anterior al Miércoles de Ceniza. Fecha variable. La celebración consiste en hacer una tortilla que aparte de sus elementos básicos ( patata y huevo ) lleva rodajas de chorizo frito, lomo y torreznillos. Tradicionalmente se salía a comerla en el campo. Se lleva entre un panecillo redondo abierto a la mitad con la naranja más grande posible y envuelto todo en un hatillo hecho con una servilleta de tela, si es de cuadros, le da más caché. Este hecho es conocido popularmente como el de " correr la tortilla ". Los grupos de amigos escotaban para bebida y ensaladas y se juntaban para comerla todos juntos. Al día siguiente siempre se quedaba para comer las sobras.

Provincia de León
 La Bañeza. Celebrado el domingo anterior al domingo de ramos. Es típico ir al a comer al campo, al monte o a bodegas con amigos y familiares. Hasta hace unos años, el paraje conocido como "Peña de San Blas" fue muy concurrido para celebrar esta jornada gastronómica.

 Sahagún. En esta localidad se celebra el Domingo Tortillero el domingo anterior a Domingo de Ramos.

Es tradicional "ir a correr la tortilla" al campo, monte a alguna finca, en ese día amigos y familia se reúnen para comer y pasar juntos el día.
Además el Domingo Tortillero se celebra la subasta de los pasos de Semana Santa.

Provincia de Madrid
Carabanchel. El 22 de mayo desde el siglo XI un grupo de estudiantes inició esta celebración motivados por la ausencia de festividades y la poca cultura de celebración existente en la época.

 Fuenlabrada. El 9 de marzo, desde el siglo XVI, se celebra la romería del Día de Santa Juana (Día de la Tortilla), en el que los fuenlabreños acuden a Valdeserrano. Esta tradición se remonta a la época en la que los fuenlabreños marchaban a Cubas de la Sagra (pasando por Valdeserrano), a venerar a Juana Vázquez, la Santa Juana que, supuestamente, realizaba curaciones milagrosas, aunque será en el siglo XIX, cuando esta romería adquirirá las características actuales.

 Humanes de Madrid. El 9 de marzo, desde el siglo XV, se celebra la romería del Día de Santa Juana.Lugar de celebración: el Prado de la Casa o como antiguamente se le conocía Los Tres Pinos.

 Fuentidueña de Tajo. Se celebra el jueves de Comadre. Los vecinos de Fuentidueña van a correr la tortilla a las afueras del pueblo, en el entorno del río Tajo. Junto con la tortilla, no puede faltar un típico pan, la libretilla, chorizo y jamón serrano y de postre una naranja.

 Guadalix de la Sierra. Se celebra el martes de carnaval, y la gente del pueblo sale al campo.

 San Fernando de Henares. Se celebra el 3 de febrero.Los sanfernandinos solían citarse en el Cerro de la Herradura hasta la construcción en el mismo del Hospital del Henares, cuando la festividad se traslada al Parque de Dolores Ibárruri, donde suelen ofertarse actividades para niños.

 Coslada. 3 de febrero.  Desde los inicios de la localidad, todos los Cosladeños se reunían en el conocido "Cerro" siendo familias enteras quienes iban. Allí se hacían juegos para los niños y se comía la tortilla que hacían las madres en casa.

 Torrejón de Ardoz. Originalmente el 3 de febrero, aunque a partir de 2020 se aprobó por la Junta de Gobierno realizarlo el primer domingo de febrero. Pionera en celebrar esta fiesta en la comunidad de Madrid ya que lleva celebrándose desde el siglo XV. Ese día los torrejoneros salen a comer tortilla al parque de Ocio donde se reparten raciones de tortilla, caldo y postre entre los que acuden a participar en la fiesta. Se celebran concurso de tortillas, diversos talleres para niños y un tradicional campeonato de petanca.

Torres de la Alameda. Se celebra los dos jueves anteriores a carnaval. Los torresanos en compañía de amigos y familiares van a pasar el día al campo para comer la tradicional tortilla.

 Valdemoro. Se celebra el 25 de abril, coincidiendo con el día de San Marcos.

Provincia de Palencia

 Calzada de los Molinos: En este municipio jacobeo, el domingo anterior al Domingo de Ramos tiene lugar el llamado "Domingo Tortillero". Cuando el tiempo lo permite (dado lo temprano de la fecha) los vecinos del pueblo suben al "Monte Carrión", un pequeño bosque de robles y encinas donde tiene lugar una misa al aire libre tras lo cual se procede a la comida campestre basada en tortillas de todas clases.

Provincia de Toledo

 Corral de Almaguer: se conocen como "tortilla" las celebraciones caseras del Viernes Santo

Provincia de Valladolid

 Villalón de Campos. Llamado ``Tortillero´´, se celebra el domingo antes del Domingo de Ramos, las familias y amigos se juntan en las fuentes del pueblo para pasar el día compartiendo y disfrutándole en el campo.

 San Pedro de Latarce. Llamado ``Tortillero´´, se celebra el domingo antes del Domingo de Ramos, las familias y amigos se juntan junto al río a unos kilómetros del pueblo para pasar el día entre comida, juegos y descanso.

Provincia de Zamora

 Esta fiesta se celebra en la comarca de Benavente y los Valles

El domingo anterior al de Ramos se celebra todos los años el día de tortillero, típicamente conocido en esta zona de la comarca de Benavente como "Tortillero" (a secas, como nombre propio, sin artículo y como núcleo del sintagma nominal) y nunca como "día de la tortilla".

El Tortillero consta de dos partes: la primera consiste en misa, procesión y bendición de campos (esta es una comarca fundamentalmente agrícola) para pedir buenos cultivos y un tiempo adecuado. La segunda parte consiste en la comida en las bodegas de tortilla, carnes a la parrilla, pollo en tartera de barro... feos, roscas... y todo ello acompañado por un buen vino (DOP Vinos de Calidad de los Valles de Benavente).

En algunos lugares, por la tarde se celebra una verbena con los bailes típicos de la región (cita requerida), aunque lo más frecuente es terminar el día en privado, con el grupo de amigos. Además, su bien conservada tradición mantiene intacto el carácter de poco regocijo de la Cuaresma en que se encuadra esta festividad.

La costumbre de Tortillín, en su día bastante extendida por muchos pueblos de esta comarca en torno a Benavente y que constituía la secuela práctica de Tortillero (pues se reunían algunos amigos, familiares o vecinos para aprovechar los restos del día anterior), está perdiéndose y cada vez son menos los que consumen estos restos fuera de su entorno familiar.

En un pueblo en particular, Morales del Rey, esta celebración tiene lugar el 25 de abril, festividad de San Marcos, en lugar del domingo anterior al Domingo de Ramos. La secuencia a seguir es exctamente la misma: Bendición de campos y comida.

Provincia de Zaragoza

 Zaragoza: En este municipio jacobeo, el domingo anterior al Domingo de Ramos tiene lugar el llamado "Domingo Tortillero". Cuando el tiempo lo permite (dado lo temprano de la fecha) los vecinos del pueblo suben al "Monte Carrión", un pequeño bosque de robles y encinas donde tiene lugar una misa al aire libre tras lo cual se procede a la comida campestre basada en tortillas de todas clases.

Cruise tourism on the rise in Oman
The Ministry of Tourism in Oman is making efforts to attract tourist cruise ships to visit Oman. Cruise ships visiting Oman's port during the year 2018-2019 has reached to 298, showing an increase of 106 compared to the year 2017-2018. While the number of cruise ships that arrived at Sultan Qaboos Port was 147 ships, it was 72 at Khasab port and 79 at Salalah port.
The number of cruise ships visiting Oman in 2019-2020 is expected to reach 360, and the number of cruise tourists to reach to 220,000 in 2019.
Tourists who come mostly during the month of October to April, come to revel in Oman's natural beauty and to soak up its culture and heritage.
The Ministry of Tourism organises several entertainment activities for the tourists arriving on board in cooperation with the local agents. The Ministry also opens up its traditional souqs for the guests so that they can have a first-hand experience of Omani traditions and its traditional industry.
Rowas bin Hafiz Al Rowas, Assistant Director General for Tourism Development and Investor Services, said that the cruise ships visiting Salalah port this year is expected to see a huge increase as a result of the efforts of the Ministry of Tourism along with Salalah Port and other organisations, tourist companies and cruise agents .
Al Rowas said that the cruise ship sector benefits from the tourism sector along with the local community. There is a considerable increase in their visits during winter season as they mostly dock at the Salalah port. These ships add value to the economy of the Sultanate in general and to the Dhofar governorate as well.
Mohammed Al Dhahouri, Assistant Director of Internal Tourism in Musandam Governorate, said that cruise ships contribute to enhancing the added value of the tourism sector by contributing to the local product and activating the economic and tourism movement.
The port of Khasab is a tourist destination, which lies in the far north of Musandam. It overlooks the Gulf of Oman to the east and the Arabian Gulf to the north-west. The Strait of Hormuz is characterised by its winding coasts. The government intends to develop the port in an integrated manner, to serve the tourism sector and trade alike, and focus on the Khasab-Bukha coastal project.
Abdul Fattah, owner of Musandam Sea Adventure and Travel Company, shares the programme prepared by the company for tourists.
The company owns seven traditional vessels, including the old and the modern. They take tourists for day-long trips to the bays located in Musandam to visit the villages, watch dolphins and for swimming. It also organises diving and fishing trips, hiking mountains, as well as mountaineering.
The traditional Muttrah souq, near the Sultan Qaboos Port, is known for traditional crafts, clothes and pottery items used by the ancestors of the local people. At this port, tourists enjoy guided tours in Muscat and the nearby tourist areas of Oman.
Abdullah Al Saadi, head of the ships and cruise department, said that the Ministry was making efforts to promote cruise ships tourism both locally and internationally.
Talking about the major achievements of the shipping department of the Ministry during 2018, Al Saadi said that for the first time there was a cooperation with Marella Cruises and Travco company to receive tourists at Muscat Airport and to take them to the cruise ships at the port for maritime tours of Oman's ports and other adjacent areas. He said that the first Spanish ship, Horizon, of Spanish Pullmantur company, headed to Sultan Qaboos Port and then to the ports of Khasab and Salalah.
Al Saadi welcomed the influx of tourist cruise ships to the ports of Oman including Sultan Qaboos Port and the ports Khasab and Salalah. He also said that more and more tourists are coming on these cruise ships to enjoy the beauty of the country and to know about its culture and heritage.

Nathaniel Donnell Abraham (born October 8, 1973) is an American football coach and former cornerback who is the current Defensive Coordinator for St. Louis Battlehawks. In his career, he played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1996–2001) and the New York Jets (2002–2004).

Life after football
After considering retirement since the 2004 season ended, he finally decided to do so on July 15, 2005. Although he had two restaurant businesses going in South Carolina, Abrahams was searching for a post-playing occupation, and during his playing years he swore to himself that he would never become a coach.  However, while on the sidelines of his oldest son's youth football practice, a local high school coach, whose son played on the same team as Abraham's, approached him about helping out his team. Before long, Abraham became the head coach at Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg.

Abraham guided Gibbs to its first district title in 2009 but resigned after a 3–7 season in 2010. He was defensive backs coordinator (2011–2012) at Tampa Bay Storm and later (2012) at East Lake High School. In 2013, he was the head coach of the Clearwater High School football team and resigned in 2015. He was (2015–2017) the defensive coordinator at IMG Academy, in Bradenton, Florida. On February 15, 2017, he was named defensive assistant coach for the Illinois Fighting Illini football, joining Head Coach Lovie Smith's coaching team. Abraham left the Illinois program in the summer of 2018.

In November 2018, Abraham joined Steve Spurrier's Orlando Apollos coaching staff as defensive backs coach.

In June 2022, Abraham joined Anthony Becht's coaching staff as the Defensive Coordinator of St. Louis.

Brunch with the Artist Chris Pappan
Calendar > Brunch with the Artist Chris Pappan
Times: 11 AM-12:30 PM
Dig into an art discussion over a casual breakfast with exhibiting artist Chris Pappan. Pappan grew up in Flagstaff, Arizona, and studied first at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), then the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He explores his cultural background, which he describes as Kaw, Osage, Cheyenne River Sioux, and mixed European, through distorted photorealistic portraiture on accounting paper, reminiscent of historical ledger drawings.

A sliver of a distant comet from the dawn of the solar system has been discovered in an unlikely place - inside a meteorite which crashed into Antarctica.
The merging of the space rocks could offer scientists new clues to understand how the sun and its orbiting planets came to exist.
Astronomers likened it to the capture of prehistoric insects in amber and say it is in remarkably pristine shape despite crashing into an icefield.
The remarkably well preserved rock enabled scientists to carry out a detailed chemical analysis. and they discovered the carbon-rich slice of primitive material.
It is just a tenth of a millimetre across - the thickness of a human hair - and has a striking similarity to extraterrestrial dust particles.
These are believed to have originated in comets that first formed near the outer edges of the Solar System's.
Comets contain larger fractions of water ice and far more carbon than asteroids do.
Approximately 3.5 million years after the birth of the Sun and planets, the comet material was picked up by the growing asteroid, the study claims.
This was long before Earth had even finished growing, the international team report in Nature Astronomy.
By studying a meteorite's chemistry and mineralogy, researchers can reveal details about its formation.
They can also tell how much heating and other chemical processing it experienced during the solar system's formative years.
Researchers claim the remarkable rock, name LaPaz after the ice field it was found in, provides a vital missing link in the search to understand how the planet's of the solar system first formed.
LaPaz belongs to a particularly primitive class of meteorites called carbonaceous chondrites are thought to have formed beyond Jupiter.
Meteorites were once part of larger bodies, called asteroids, which eventually broke up due to collisions in space.
Their makeup can vary substantially, reflecting their varying origins in different parent bodies that formed in different parts of the Solar System.
The primitive material's existence inside the meteorite indicates such particles migrated from the outer edges to the closer-in area beyond Jupiter where the carbonaceous chondrites formed.
This was due to drag from the surrounding gas - revealing details about how our Solar System's architecture was shaped during the early stages of planet formation.
Professor Nittler said it supports the idea of a 'radially inward transport of materials' from the outer proto-planetary disk into a carbon reservoir.
This was during the birth of the rock fragments that ended up developing into Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Saturn - and Earth.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPACE ROCKS?
An asteroid is a large chunk of rock left over from collisions or the early solar system. Most are located between Mars and Jupiter in the Main Belt.
A comet is a rock covered in ice, methane and other compounds. Their orbits take them much further out of the solar system.
A meteor is what astronomers call a flash of light in the atmosphere when debris burns up.
This debris itself is known as a meteoroid. Most are so small they are vapourised in the atmosphere.
If any of this meteoroid makes it to Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Meteors, meteoroids and meteorites normally originate from asteroids and comets.
For example, if Earth passes through the tail of a comet, much of the debris burns up in the atmosphere, forming a meteor shower.


Wah Pedals are an essential addition to your pedalboard. Said to have been designed to mimic the sound of the human voice, wah-wah pedals make the guitar even more expressive. The wah effect is unmistakably present on everything from screaming rock solos to deep funk rhythms.
Famously used by Jimi Hendrix and Slash, the Wah is a classic sound of the 70s but remains hugely popular across genres today, especially metal. Bestselling wah pedals include the legendary Jim Dunlop CryBaby and the versatile Boss AW-3 Dynamic Wah.


What are the first things that spring to mind when somebody mentions "Bulgaria?"
Well there are so many interesting factors to life in Bulgaria, that I think it would be difficult to sum up the country in just a few words. So, at Quest Bulgaria we have decided to make our own A-Z guide of all thing Bulgarian.

Tag: Muslim ban
Supreme Court's Day of Infamy
In what may be the worst decision since the infamous Korematsu case, when the Supreme Court upheld the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, the court Tuesday by a 5-4 vote upheld President Donald Trump 's Muslim travel ban.
Like the Korematsu decision, Trump v. Hawaii elevates legal formalities as a way to avoid addressing what everyone understood is really at issue here — namely, prejudice.
Chief Justice John Roberts's majority opinion downplays Trump's anti-Muslim bias, focusing instead on the president's legal power to block immigration in the name of national security…
…We might well be celebrating the fact that the Supreme Court had finally and expressly repudiated Korematsu, which it had never fully done before. Instead, Roberts's declaration reads like a desperate attempt to change the subject.
The truth is that this decision and Korematsu are a pair: Prominent instances where the Supreme Court abdicated its claim to moral leadership.
RTFA. Please! Noah Feldman cuts through the breast-beating of Trump and his peers. Pimps for bigotry.
120 US companies file amicus brief opposing Trump's Muslim ban
February 6, 2017 February 6, 2017 Leave a comment
❝ Apple, Google and Microsoft joined a list of 120 technology companies in signing an amicus brief on Sunday opposing President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration, saying the temporary ban "inflicts significant harm on American business."
Filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in support of a lawsuit from Minnesota and Washington states, the brief boasts signatories mainly from the tech realm, including the likes of Facebook, eBay, Microsoft, Netflix, Intel, Twitter and Uber…Consumer goods companies like Levi Strauss and Chobani also backed the filing.
❝ …Amazon and its CEO Jeff Bezos are already backing the originating lawsuit lodged by Washington state's attorney general. The suit, which on Friday resulted in a temporary restraining order against Trump's ban, survived an attempted emergency stay initiated by the Department of Justice over the weekend…
❝ "The Order represents a significant departure from the principles of fairness and predictability that have governed the immigration system of the United States for more than fifty years," the brief stated. "The Order inflicts significant harm on American business, innovation, and growth as a result."
The companies go on to note immigrants or their children founded more than 200 companies — tech or non-tech —currently listed on the Fortune 500 list. Apple itself was co-founded by Steve Jobs, the son of a Syrian immigrant.
Lots of mainline old American firms missing from this one. If everyone stood up to be counted against all the issues already uniting millions of Americans opposed to Trump's proto-fascist claptrap – we'd be guaranteed removal of his Congressional flunkies by mid-term and the so-called president in four years.

The whole world is watching. Trump's official bigotry is halted for a brief while. The Republican Party's acceptance of official bigotry is halted for a brief while. Congress' acceptance of official bigotry on behalf of the United States of America – is halted for a brief while.

Dispatches from Ray's Planet
A Journey through Autism
Claire Finlayson
A collective memoir that explores a woman's journey to understand the complexities of her adult brother's symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
As a child, Claire's big brother Ray was bright and inquisitive, but as the two became teenagers, Ray struggled to acquire the social skills that came more easily to others. Claire tried to help, pointing out what he should or shouldn't have said or done. Ray insisted that he wasn't the problem—"On my planet…" he would explain, there were no social climbers, no subtle hints or subliminal messages to miss, and the telling of little white lies would be a capital offence. At sixteen, sitting with him in the high school cafeteria, Claire vowed to find Ray's planet.
After graduation, Ray took a job as a letter carrier with Canada Post, but after thirty-three years on the job he was fired, blew his appeal, and spiralled into a suicidal depression. Claire didn't know he was in trouble until he reached out to her by email. Thus began a remarkable written correspondence that pulled back the curtain on an inner life Claire couldn't have imagined. Where in-person interactions plunged him into hot water, Ray's writing revealed a compassionate, funny, sad man who showed extraordinary insight into his way of navigating the world. Ray was fifty when Claire realized he might have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but by then, having survived without a diagnosis his whole life, Ray was reluctant to have a label pinned on him and resisted Claire's efforts to fix him by trying, in all sincerity, to make him more like her.
Dispatches from Ray's Planet draws on Ray and Claire's correspondence to tell the story of two siblings from two very different planets. There are thousands of Rays in our world. In this collective memoir, Claire and Ray share their journey with the hope that others can also learn that we all perceive the world in different ways, and that "different" does not necessarily mean "wrong."
"Ray [learned he was] on the autism spectrum later in life. For years he held a job as a letter carrier for Canada Post, until painful foot problems made it impossible to walk his route. Today he tutors kids in math. Writing about his thoughts and feelings has always been easier than speaking. There is still a big gulf between him and the neurotypical world. …
I love Ray's quote about math—'When you prove a theorem by yourself, you stand as an equal with the first person to have proven it. Pythagoras and I are brothers. The truths of math are absolutely true; they are not subject to dispute or interpretation or revision. In a world of noise and pointless going around in circles, math gives us clarity and certainty.' [Dispatches from Ray's Planet] describes Ray's struggles with a world that is not logical and clear like math."
—Temple Grandin, author, Thinking in Pictures
"This book has really captured how an individual with autism thinks and interacts with the world. For me, as a psychologist and special education teacher, it has brought to life the "clinical descriptors" of autism that I try to communicate in the reports I write. I find the stories and examples absolutely fascinating. I will re-read this book several times … it is so rich in real life examples!
In addition to reading it from a clinical perspective, I also read it as a story about [Claire's] brother, Ray, and the pain he has endured over the years … it gets me deep inside! What a powerful book! On so many levels and fronts."
—Deborah Amaral, Ph.D., R. Psych., and retired District Principal of Special Education
"[Finlayson] is a great storyteller, skillfully blending her extensive research on autism, input from family and friends, and her own observations with Ray's complicated reactions to her findings, provoking laughter, tears and a compulsion to turn the page."
