Understanding Seasonal Affective Disorder
Think depression means year-round, non-stop misery? Think again. A type of depression known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD) afflicts people only during certain times of the year. While most people develop SAD during the winter months, SAD can also hit during the summer. Here's what you need to know.
What Causes Seasonal Affective Disorder?
Seasonal affective disorder is different from traditional depression in that it appears to have a clear external cause that is not related to life events. In other words, people don't get SAD because something has gone wrong in their lives. Instead, some other shift in the environment—weather changes, alterations in light, or something else that affects the way the body processes emotions—triggers depression.
How is Seasonal Affective Disorder Different?
Most cases of seasonal affective disorder occur during the winter, so experts think that SAD could be due to changes in access to ultraviolet light. But because some cases also occur in summer, this cannot be the sole cause. Mental health experts have suggested a number of potential explanations:
Seasonal changes that trigger physical shifts in the body; for example, seasonal allergies might trigger inflammation that alters neurotransmitter function, thereby changing the way the body processes and manages emotions.
Emotional changes related to changing seasons. Perhaps Christmas reminds you of a traumatic childhood, for example.
Some other as-yet-unidentified factor. Note that not all cases of apparent SAD are actually depression. Sometimes people just feel unhappy for a while and then move on, so don't assume it's depression without first consulting a mental health professional.
Signs and Symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder
The seasonal affective disorder most commonly occurs in the winter, so if you get symptoms of depression only during the winter months, it's a pretty strong signal that you might be dealing with SAD. Some other symptoms include:
Tiredness, malaise, and a general sense of feeling down and under the weather.
Feelings of guilt, hopelessness, or sadness.
Changes in sleeping or eating patterns; indeed, it is possible that some people experience natural shifts in these patterns during seasonal changes, potentially triggering an episode of SAD.
Intense feelings of sadness or emptiness that don't change with your circumstances. If you're sad about a break-up or financial woes, for example, it's likely not depression.
Difficult in your relationship with other people.
Note that the symptoms of SAD tend to be less severe than with traditional major depression. However, it's still possible to experience thoughts of suicide. If you experience these thoughts, seek help immediately.
Treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder
The most common treatment for the seasonal affective disorder is a UV light since most cases of SAD occur during the winter. For many people, exposure to this additional sunlight offers near-immediate relief.
If your symptoms occur during the summer, are severe, or light therapy does not work, your best bet is therapy. Counselling can help you discern the cause of your depression, craft a plan to free yourself from depression, and educate you about lifestyle choices that may help, such as exercise and dietary changes. If counselling fails or does not offer full relief, counselling blended with medication from our psychiatrists can work wonders.

Coronavirus China Box-Office Closure Will Be Felt Into 2021 & Its Overflow Effects on the China Streaming Wars
February 15, 2020 Silk Celluloid China Streaming Wars, Film & Box-Office One comment
Though Offices, Stores and Schools Have Partially Reopened After the Extended Chinese New Year Long Holiday. Nearly All Film, Television, Animation, and Streaming Productions Are Still Halted Across China.
Not to Mention That Nearly All of China's 70,000 Cinema Screens Are Still Essentially Closed As Well, Even if Some Are Technically Open.
By Ryan Carroll, Managing Editor
February, 2020.
The clarity of when the coronavirus outbreak and the 60 million people quarantine across the expansive cities that surround Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei, will return to normal. Even after the death toll that essentially hit 100 in a single day, on the very day people started going back to work across some of the country. Uncertainty for the China Box-Office and the other entertainment industries are probably the least concerning thing for most people in the Middle Kingdom.
But, it is our business, and it is a business that will help use a common intercultural language, to better understand some finite repercussions of what is going on in the bigger picture that is China and how lasting the effects of this tragedy might be.
With seven major Spring Festival film releases canceled or "postponed" at the end of January for the ten-day long Lunar New Year / Chun jie holiday, it was estimated that the China Box-Office lost at-least $1BnUSD over the holiday period.
Which Fortune Magazine proclaimed that:
China is no longer on track to dethrone the U.S. as the world's No. 1 movie market this year.
A claim that Fortune should have checked and ran the numbers, when consulting with their "experts", as in 2019 the China Box-Office only saw 5.4% YoY growth for $9.2BnUSD box-office gross. While North America had $11.4BnUSD, a down-year compared to 2018's $11.8BnUSD.
China's 2018 Year-on-Year growth was 9% so even if we saw the same 5.4% that would give a rounded-up box-office of $9.7BnUSD in China, a deficit of $1.7BnUSD if we go off of the 2019 North American Box-Office.
Even if the China Box-Office saw the same YoY growth of 9% as it did in 2018 that would only equate to 10.12BnUSD, or $1.3BnUSD less than what the North American box-office made in 2019. Either way, China was never on track to over-take North America in 2020, even without the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak closure.
China is looking to lose an additional $1.86BnUSD here in February on top of the $1Bn it lost over the Spring Festival. For comparison in the 20 days since the Spring Festival, box-office ticket receipts have only measured up to $3.9MMUSD compared to $1.52Bn last year over the same timeframe – according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Of the seven major Spring Festival releases one of them went directly to streaming services, and another February theatrical release also moved to streaming. The ladder was an obvious move by a streaming service as a part of the China Streaming Wars, while the former was a decision made by its distributor. Both were to take advantage of the situation of families being cooped up in their homes with not much to do.
The first was the more controversial of the two, Lost in Russia from Huanxi Media and the third film from the popular comedy Lost in series. Which was viewed more than 600M times in just 3 days, after TikTok owner ByteDance paid $90MMUSD to have it stream for free on all of its short-format video platforms. It even played on ByteDance's popular news aggregation site Jirin Toutiao.
The other was Donnie Yen's Enter the Fat Dragon which was not supposed to be released until February 16th but even on January 30th, when the news was announced, the COVID-19 / coronavirus' effects on the China Box-Office through February, and possibly beyond, were clear to insiders.
Enter the Fat Dragon dropped on Tencent Video and iQiyi simultaneously on February 1st, but it is only available to their paid subscriber tiers which is 95M paid subscribers for Tencent Video and 100M for iQiyi.
To take into consideration how important the Spring Festival-Chun jie China Box-Office is, it accounts for about 8% of the total year's worth of revenue generated for cinemas according to the China Film Association.
Not only will we have the releases of six major Spring Festival films, and a dozens others (the Qingming or Tomb Sweeping holiday is coming up), that will need to find new release windows later this year – or possibly even next. All film studios, which would include all film, television, and streaming series productions, have been shuttered since January 23rd.
This will result in what some are estimating in 25% of productions across the board being delayed, which could result in many of them not going into production at all because of financial issues due to these delays.
Due to this Hengdian World Studios, the world's largest outdoor film studio, waved rental fees for halted productions, and exempted room charges to film crews. On top of that they provided a stipend to background actors (extras in Hollywood) for living and room expenses until productions resume.
Hengdian World Studios and neighboring Xiangshan Global Studios on February 13th were to begin the 'first phase' to resume work for all film and television productions, and crews would be allowed to resume work after review and approval (some form of health screen or temperature check).
UPDATE: The film crews who were allowed to return to work, were those who undertook a 14 day quarantine. From what it sounds like at the studio itself.
This does not mean all productions at both studios are to resume, as this will be on some form of "rolling-basis" and it is unclear as of yet when things will go back to full capacity. As Hengdian and Xiangshan Global are just two studios out of many, spanning across the nation which are still reportedly fully closed for operation, that are partially reopening.
This reported 25% delay in productions across the board could have serious implications going into 2021. As not all of these films would have had release dates set for 2020 to begin with. Now with production delays this will inadvertently result in further products being pushed out further – or even canceled – later into this year.
Potentially furthering the issue, as 2019 had already seen a decline by 27% in TV dramas being filmed in China. Part of this may be contributed to the rise of content spend for streaming series by the big three streaming services Tencent Video, iQiyi, and Youku, along with other major players who are making headwinds such as MangoTV. Though analysis on this specific factor will need further data to come down the line in the next year or so, maybe longer due to this strenuous factor of production facilities closed across China through most if not all of Q1.
TV drama productions is not the only space to see a decline, as The Hollywood Reporter states:
China's cinema building boom recently has been fueled by a parallel surge in speculative commercial development in increasingly rural regions of the country. Well before the coronavirus epidemic, analysts had begun sounding the alarm that smaller theater circuits in less developed parts of the country were over expanding and coming under financial strain.
This is something that this author has been discussing since 2014 as the building of cinemas and screens in 3rd, and especially 4th and 5th, tiered cities has been at a pace and growth which is beyond the demand of audiences in those regions. Especially now, as streaming services push into the market with free-to-view options.
With cinemas essentially closed and Chinese across the entire country confide to their homes for an extended Spring Festival holiday, for approximately 25 days before work and schools began to resume in limited capacity. One would assume that the big three streaming services would have come out as major winners due to these circumstances.
This does not appear to be the case and there is possibly a few factors at play to explain this.
Tencent Video, iQiyi, and Youku were not prepare content wise for an event such as this.
MAU – monthly active users – is at a saturation point, and a major push to acquire more paid subscribers would have appeared insensitive to the epidemic facing the nation, the hundreds of lives lost, and the heroes who are struggling to contain the outbreak.
Both the Film Bureau and the State informed BAT – Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent – along with other major studios and distributors that they will face repercussions if they release any more major theatrical films onto streaming platforms before placing them into cinemas.
The big three streaming platforms released 18 online movies during the main Spring Festival period, as had been planned, but none of them became must see hits. Most likely due to the surprise release of Lost in Russia on all of ByteDance's platforms, and all the other external factors going on in the country.
Of the major streaming platforms there was one winner to emerge and it is Bilibili, the ACG Culture – Anime, Comic, Games – Gen Z Powerhouse, and becoming the YouTube-of-China. Taking over that mantle from Youku, not because Youku no longer has user-generated content (UGC) on its platform and it is solely a scripted content platform. It is because, Bilibili is host to a large group of paid subscribers who have passed a rigorous 100 question anime test to become subscribers, and are allowed to post content on its platform. Providing an incentive for higher quality creation and user work.
Bilibili launched its annual Strawberry Music Festival as a special "Stay at Home" Strawberry concert series from 4 PM to 10PM five days a week around the theme Hi, I'm Home Too.
NOTE. I am going to have to correct my old friend from Hong Kong Patrick Frater at Variety in the link above, that Bilibili is not a short-video app. It is a streaming video app along the lines of Tencent Video, iQiyi, Youku, and MangoTV. Bilibili is the 4th biggest streaming service in China and has the largest user retention rate and time spent in-app among all the streaming video platforms. It also has more Gen Z users than any of the others.
To make users feel connected with one-another Bilibili pushed the use of their popular 'bullet-chat' aka danmu feature, where users comment in real time and the comments fly across the screen. To create a shared sense of community.
screenshot of Bilibili's 'bullet chat' aka danmu in action – it looks annoying
These events kicked off February 3rd on Bilibili and have hosted 70 different music acts. Of the five top streaming video platforms, only Bilibili is likely to see an organic bump in MAU users and possibly paid subscribers. As their Questionnaire to become a subscriber-user has dropped from 100 questions to 50. You cannot just sign up and start paying, and the crazy thing is, that Bilibili has been listed on the NYSE for over a year now, and saw it shares go up on Nasdaq over this time.
The real "winners" appear to be short-format video apps, especially those from ByteDance, as its Xigua Video (which I had talked about last month as winning the Spring Festival China Streaming Wars) ranked 4th rising from 36th place the previous month, according to App Annie, for non-game downloads. While Jirin Toutiao came in second and Douyin was fourth, but even with Lost in Russia, ByteDance lost out to rival Tencent-backed Kuaishou as it ranked 1st in downloads.
The reason why I put quotation marks around "winners" is because ByteDance's moves to get its video apps, games, and other apps to the top rankings and downloads during this tragic times may have given it an edge, but in the end it may not have sit well with Beijing and Regulators. As there have been rumblings from within that the major platforms and players not to make moves to take away from things like, 40M Chinese watching the live-streaming of the construction of the hospital being built in Wuhan.
Hopefully the COVID-19 virus will be to handled soon, and things will begin to resume back to normal for the people of China and lives will no longer be lost. If that is the case, we will be looking at April 1st before a normalcy to return to the entertainment sector, but the effects that have already taken place, in cinemas, distribution, animation production, TV, film, streaming, etc. will be felt into 2021.

DAVID DELANEY: Time for a new set of rules
David Delaney
David Delaney - Point of View - Greg McNeil
CBRM council can start with changing some of the 'small things'
When New York City began its rebound more than 30 years ago, successes were brought about, at least initially, by doing what are inappropriately called the "small things."
For example, instead of worrying about mega-urban renewal projects designed to revitalize destitute and depressed areas, the city's municipal government tried something different. It reasoned that making the right choices could begin with such things as cleaning up the garbage situation, helping put windows in aging and decrepit buildings, and encouraging the police to get out of their cars and again walk a beat.
These incremental steps took hold and fostered a positive momentum, helping transform that city from its 1970s state of depression, burgeoning crime rates and despair to a situation where now it rightly reclaims its title as the world's greatest city.
New York is a city of millions and the Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM) is very small, by comparison. Yet, there are lessons to be learned.
The biggest one is that where municipalities have grown and prospered, the engine of growth has been the private sector - at all levels and in all aspects of a community's life: economic, cultural, recreational, etc.
Unfortunately, in our region, we have developed a political culture which equates community development to an ever-expanding political class of politicians, bureaucrats and appointees of government-funded agencies. Beware of these false prophets promising you a gold-gilded future. Their mission is merely one of self-preservation and individual benefice. Their influence, and the type of political culture they champion has negatively impacted upon not only economic development but has had a regressive effect on community activities and vibrancy.
The best recent example of this regressive impact was in CBRM's council's intervention in further regulating parades. Had council merely stayed out of it and left things as they were, all would be better off. They could not do that, however. Instead, each side of the debate wanted it their way as opposed to simply letting separate communities do it the way they wanted.
But there are some very tangible things that our municipal government can do. Let's start with some of those so-called "small things" that concern the CBRM.
The ball has been kicked down the road for too long.
Number one: no more trips on the public dime. Today we live in a very sophisticated communications world. There are a myriad of ways to stay connected and interacted with other governments, agencies and private interests that do not include travel to Vancouver, Shanghai or Geneva, all three being recent travel locations for certain celebrity members of our political class.
We are a poor municipality and sending councillors and government officials to conferences and other junkets makes no sense. In addition, as the record will reveal, such trips have contributed nothing to the general well-being of this community.
Next, no free meals at local meetings for elected officials, bureaucrats and the appointed agency types. When you go to work, you pay for your lunch. They can do it as well.
Clearly, some will say, come on now, these are merely small things. Nothing more than symbolic.
Fine, but sometimes symbolism is important. I can tell you it is important to most of the people I know who, on a daily basis, have to make hard decisions on when they can afford to get the car inspected, whether they can get the money together to see the dentist and choices very more basic and pressing.
Yet, in deference to those who want more than what they consider merely symbolic measures, let's move on.
We can begin with a prohibition on municipal funding to any outside agency, examples including the Cape Breton Partnership, ACAP, any so-called business development agency and so forth. We cannot afford this and as for any good that these groups can do why not let municipal government do it with its established infrastructure as opposed to funding a superfluous additional one?
Next, let us undertake a major downsizing of municipal administrative staff. Enough of the pleadings that we have cut to the bone and run a very efficient municipal administration. We know the difference. We are in a continuing population decline yet have a bigger and more entitled and heavily compensated municipal bureaucracy. The message should be that the party's over and it's time to clean the house.
Afterward we can then move on to spending cuts in all departments, a mandated policy to end counterproductive regulations and by-laws and, yes, real and meaningful tax reform.
It can all start with 'the small things."
The ball has been kicked down the road for too long. It's time for council to pick it up and score some points.

Francisco III d'Este (em italiano Francesco Maria), (Módena, 2 de julho de 1698 – Varese, 22 de fevereiro de 1780), foi Duque de Módena e Reggio de 1737 até à sua morte. Era filho de Reinaldo d'Este, duque de Módena, e de Carlota Felicidade de Brunsvique-Luneburgo.

Bancarrota Real
Durante o seu governo, o ducado ficou em situação de bancarrota pelos esforços das guerras de Sucessão de Espanha, da Polónia e Áustria. Como consequência, Francisco III foi forçado a vender a preciosa colecção de arte na posse da sua família, incluída na famosa Galeria Estense. Embora fosse um cuidadoso administrador, a maior parte da política financeira do ducado estava nas mãos do plenipotenciário austríaco, Beltrame Cristiani.

Urbanista
Entre as suas medidas destaca-se a renovação urbanística de Módena e a construção da Via Vandelli, que ligava a cidade à Toscânia.

Francisco foi também Governor do Ducado de Milão de 1754 a 1771.

Faleceu em 1780 na sua villa, em Varese. O seu filho, Hércules III d'Este sucedeu-lhe no trono do Ducado de Módena.

Família
Em 1721, Francisco casou com Carlota Aglaé de Orleães (1700–1761), filha de Filipe II, Duque de Orleães e de Francisca Maria de Bourbon (uma filha ilegítima de Luís XIV e de Madame de Montespan) de quem teve dez filhos.

Em 1728, representou o seu futuro cunhado, António Farnésio, Duque de Parma, no casamento por procuração da sua irmã, Henriqueta d'Este.

Após a morte da sua primeira mulher, veio a casar morganáticamente por duas vezes: primeiro com Teresa Castelberco e, depois, com Renata Teresa d'Harrach.

Descendência
A sua geração com Carlota de Orleães incluía:
 Afonso (18 de novembro de 1723 - 16 de junho de 1725), morto na infância;
 Francisco Constantino (22 de novembro de 1724 - 16 de junho de 1725), morto na infância;
 Maria Teresa (6 de outubro de 1726 - 30 de abril de 1754), casou-se com Luís João Maria de Bourbon, Duque de Penthièvre, com descendência;
 Hércules (22 de novembro de 1727 - 14 de outubro de 1803), casou-se com Maria Teresa Cybo-Malaspina, Duquesa de Massa e Princesa de Carrara, com descendência;
 Matilde (7 de fevereiro de 1729 - 14 de novembro de 1803), nunca se casou;
 Beatriz (14 de julho de 1730 - 12 de julho de 1731), morta na infância;
 Beatriz (24 de novembro de 1731 - 3 de abril de 1736), morta na infância;
 Maria Fortunata (24 de novembro de 1731 - 21 de setembro de 1803), casou-se com Luís Francisco José, Príncipe de Conti, sem descendência;
 Benedito Filipe (30 de setembro de 1736 - 16 de setembro de 1751), nunca se casou;
 Maria Isabel Ernestina (12 de fevereiro de 1741 - 4 de agosto de 1774), casou-se com Carlo Salomone, Conde de Serravalle.

Ascendência

Títulos, honras e armas

2 de Julho de 1698 - 26 de Outubro de 1737 SAR  o Príncipe herdeiro de Módena
26 de Outubro de 1737 - 22 de Fevereiro de 1780 SAR  o Duque de Módena

Enquanto Duque de Módena e Reggio, Francisco III utilizou o tradicional brasão que os seus antecessores haviam usado, de onde se destaca o escudete sobre o todo: de azur com uma águia de prata armada e coroada de ouro, armas originais dos Este.

Scotty T Wins 'Celebrity Big Brother' 2016 | TV News
06 Feb 2016 — Filed Under: TV, TV News
His mate Gaz Beadle may've tried to fool the public into voting for Scotty T, by posting a phone number on Snapchat saying that fans could contact Beadle in the Geordie Shore house – but, in the end, even without all those extra votes, which were later disqualified anyway, Scotty T still went on to win Celebrity Big Brother 2016.
So on behalf of the winner himself, here's my Top 5 guide on how to win CBB (if your name's Scotty T):
1. Get romantically involved with another housemate – but not too involved like runner-up Steph and her main man Jezza. Whether Scotty T's interaction with Megan McKenna was a 'showmance' or not remains to be seen, but on-screen flirting always generates a good storyline or 2.
2. Be sexual – but not too sexual, like Tiffany. Tiffany wasn't afraid to express her 'frustration' on many an occasion, but perhaps she came on a little too strong for the British public? Meanwhile, Scotty T dry-humped his way around the house, but it must've been in a more lovable way that endeared him to viewers.
3. Take the moral high ground – but don't be too vocal about it, as Gemma was. Scotty T didn't really approve of Steph's cheating on boyfriend Sam with fellow contestant Jeremy. And he did voice his opinions, but in a more 'matey' way than Gemma, ensuring that he didn't alienate himself from his fellow housemates.
4. Be inoffensive – but not too inoffensive like Darren. I'm disappointed that Darren didn't win, but I'm glad to see he turned around the public perception of himself, to secure 3rd place. Meanwhile, Scotty T didn't really do anything to annoy the others, hence why he was only nominated once.
5. Be an all round good egg. It was difficult to reconcile Scotty T's reputation as a notorious lothario, with the down-to-earth, respectful and all round nice guy image that he had on the show. But he managed to convey his good natured-personality effectively to take home the CBB crown.
The other finalists were as follows: John Partridge finished in 6th place, Danniella Westbrook came 5th and Tiffany Pollard was 4th.

Today, is 9-11-11 the 10th anniversary of a tragic day in America. This day will not be forgotten! This day, this post is for you who live in the States, and do not conform to this world!
There was a time when I began to think of how my life wasn't making an impact on very many people. I felt as though I kept doing the same ol' routine just to survive. Tired of how I couldn't break habits and lived in conviction, even though I preached, "Do not conform to this world!" I've been a follower of Christ, but felt as though I really wasn't following, but instead I was just getting by. Expecting, when I die that I would go to heaven, which I'm sure I would have even in my current state. Though, I was letting my flesh win to many battles. It was at this time that I realized something had to change.
Not long after I realized I needed to make a change, I read something that said "If you think the way you've always thought, you'll continue to get what you've always got". "Now, of course this is true" I said. Though, how do I change my life by changing my thoughts?…How would I change my attitude? Is it possible to change my way of thinking? The question kept ringing in my head but only questioned in different ways.
I also realized at this time that my thoughts brought me to where I am today. For every action there is a thought. It all the sudden clicked for me. I could radically change my life, by simply changing the way I think. An amazingly simple concept had really taken a hold me. I began to study verses on "thinking" and "words we say". For the first time I was truly seeking God's Word. I wanted to know HOW to change. I wanted to KNOW who to be, and how I should THINK. I REALLY wanted God to transform me into His image. Of course I've always been passionate about God after I found Him, but I still wanted to serve God in my own way. I wanted to please God with my own abilities on my own terms.
The Holy Spirit has always been talking to me. It's just so many times I choose to ignore His voice, and try it my own way. I had an experience that impacted me in a dramatic way. I was driving past an old friends house one day who once was a strong man of God. One who loved God, who witnessed a dead child be raised from the dead in Africa, all because he listened and prayed. A women dragged her child into the African Church. Brought the little girl to my friend and his buddy. Then they prayed over her in a back room for 3 hours. She ended up coming back to life after she was thrown against the wall a few times. Can you imagine going to a funeral and God telling you to throw the dead person against the wall?
This same man was going through a very hard time a few years after returning from Africa. He turned back to his old ways of thinking. He turned back to indulging himself in getting high on weed. He was defeated in his own mind.
I was a good friend of his, and we shared many discussions about Christ years before. Even shared many beers and joints with him. To say the least, we had our ups and downs. Despite our pasts we always managed to be friends. We also had a lot in common as well. He used to be a drummer for a church as well as me. We both are tall guys, and enjoyed the same music. If I had a twin, this was him.
As I was driving past this old friends house. A voice was telling me to stop in his house to see how things are going. I did not stop. I told myself I was too tired. That I just got off a 12hr shift, and that I need to go home and relax. I had just worked 4 days in a row each with 12hr shifts and an hour commute one way. I had a plausible case. There was definitely logic behind my way of thinking. Though now I realize not everything God asks will be easy. He may ask me to miss some sleep or drive out of my way, which it wasn't.
I ended up driving past his house, and went straight to mine. I got my warm meal, and plenty of rest. Though the next week he died in a car wreck a mile away from my house. I felt so ashamed as I may have been his helping hand. He could have been praying for a real friend to help him out of his trouble. Though, his real friend chose to ignore God's still voice, and keep on driving. This wasn't just a regular feeling of guilt, but instead a feeling like its my fault. May he rest in peace, and I hope I get to see him in heaven one day. To say the least, this hit home with me. I blamed myself because of what I didn't say.
We have a choice to choose God; life. Or to pretend we've said a simple Americanized prayer that says "I'm sorry please take me to heaven when I die". But behind many American eyes we still choose to live life the way we want to because we think its best. As if God would really know what is best for us? I know America isn't the only country that thinks like this.
If we were but wise we would realize how many similarities we have with sheep. Instead of listening to the Shepard we choose to follow the crowd. One sheep goes over the cliff, and the rest follow. Oh, how stupid we really are! It is not the fear of man, or the fear of loss in one way or another that we should be concerned about. But instead the fear of God as He is in control of everything!
If God is able to take your soul, and keep it safe in heaven after you die, then why do you concern yourself money and other worries? Is not what I say true? Are the Words of the Bible not true? Is not God in control of everything?
Does tending to your worries ever fix anything? Well does it?! If not then its time for a change. Its time to change your thinking. Pray first for help or answers, then focus on the positive things. You may even be what the Bible describes as a goat. You may look like a sheep, you may even sound like one, but you do not know the Shepard's voice as you are still a goat. You are indeed independent, you try to live away from the flock and the Shepard. Your life does not produce good fruit, and the path leads towards destruction, because this lifestyle of sin has been made. You will have to pay for the consequences, unless you repent and ask God to forgive you as you forgive others, then walk the walk.
As many of you know I've decided to obey this calling, and lose my life. Though it may seem as if I'll lose it after I leave the States on September 19th 2011 to spread God's Message overseas, but I tell you I've already lost it. I made the choice long ago to yield to His voice and change my way of thinking. The biggest secret that I stashed under my belt for changing my way of thinking is realizing the power of "words". The words we speak contain blessings and curses.
I had to train myself to hold my tongue. It wasn't easy by any means. Though, I knew that it was something I needed to do for myself. From the front of the Bible to the back, it talks about our "words" and how we should think. I learned from Romans 12 that I had to be careful what I feed myself. Think about this.. If all I feed myself were donuts, then I'd turn into one. Likewise, it works the same for our words.
I'm going to let the Words of God speak to you. After you read these verses I challenge you to go through Proverbs and highlight all the verses that talk about "words" and the things we "say".
Feel free to comment and tell me what you think of our "words". Also, if you'd like to share some Scripture or a quick story then be my guest. God bless!
Fantastic goods from you, man. I have understand your stuff previous to and you're just too great. I really like what you have acquired here, really like what you're saying and the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still care for to keep it sensible. I can't wait to read much more from you. This is actually a great website.
Thanks for the encouragement, God bless!
Thank you for this site of your's just,i now learn a lot and got encourage to hear what my Maker been telling me..Thank you that you share what you experience for us to be encourage also.
God bless you Sarah! I pray that He'll continue to speak to you through His word, and as you "draw close to God, God will draw close to you" James 4:8. Hold onto what God tells you! Write that stuff down and don't forget it! That is one of the things that I personally do, especially with these my testimonies. Though I need to catch up on writing others, but I'm falling way behind haha. Its a good thing though that God is moving faster than I can type, haha.
I don't know how it happened that I got to your website and got your e-mails but I know that it is from the Lord as he has been telling me to pray for orphans and missionaries in the Philippians and then I get your e-mail about the miracle with the baby. That really got my attention and so I followed the links and came here. I am not working at present but hopefully this month I will and I will try to support what you are doing.
Glory to God! I'm encouraged about this too as that is quiet powerful how He has connected us together. I will be praying for you that God will continue to encourage you and bless you abundantly. Be expecting what you pray for as long as it's in God's will That is what true faith is: seeing what is not seen, and believing what you have asked for to come, as it is His will to bless His people.
Lord I also pray that You would bless Lynnette with a job, that she would become the head and not the tail; lender and not the borrower; that she will be ten times better for Your glory! Salamat sa Diyos! In Your name Jesus, Amen.

Eric Garner's Daughter Blasts Hillary Clinton Campaign Over WikiLeaks Emails About Her Father
WikiLeaks emails show Clinton advisers' deciding whether to include Garner.
ByADAM KELSEY and VERONICA STRACQUALURSI
Erica Garner, daughter of Eric Garner, protests the Staten Island, New York grand jury's decision not to indict a police officer involved in the chokehold death of Eric Garner, Dec. 11, 2014, in the Staten Island Neighborhood of New York.

— -- The daughter of a New York City man who died after he was placed in a chokehold by city police lashed out against the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton over purportedly hacked emails released by WikiLeaks that show campaign aides weighing whether to refer to her father's death in a planned newspaper op-ed.
Erica Garner, whose father Eric Garner's death in July 2014 sparked widespread protests, on Thursday tweeted her disapproval over what she apparently sees as the campaign considering "using" her father's death to promote a political viewpoint.
"I'm troubled by the revelation that you and this campaign actually discussed 'using' Eric Garner ... Why would you want to 'use' my dad?" read one of Garner's tweets.
Erica Garner endorsed Clinton's Democratic primary rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, in February and appeared in campaign advertisements for him.
She is apparently referring in her tweets to emails released by WikiLeaks that were purportedly hacked from the accounts of Clinton campaign senior aides in which a group of staffers debate the content and language of an op-ed to be placed in the New York Daily News last March. One email, purportedly written by campaign press secretary Nick Merrill, raises concern over the campaign's relationship with Erica Garner.
"Finally, I know we have Erica Garner issues but we don't want to mention Eric at all? I can see her coming after us for leaving him out of the piece," wrote Merrill in a March 17 message to Clinton policy adviser Corey Ciorciari.
The campaign ultimately decided not to refer to Eric Garner in the op-ed that was published March 27. Maya Harris, a senior policy adviser to Clinton, clarifies in one email: "Eric Garner not included because not killed by gun violence."
Garner's tweets suggest she sees a similar distinction between police violence and gun violence, though that does not appear to have softened her view of the campaign's email exchange.
"These people will co-opt anything to push their agenda. Police violence is not the same as gun violence," she wrote on Twitter.
The op-ed published under Clinton's name was titled "Take dead aim against gun violence: Hillary Clinton urges closing loopholes that cost lives," and advocated for changes in firearms laws and regulations, including repealing a federal law that gives gun manufacturers broad protection against lawsuits.
Asked by ABC News about the email exchange concerning the op-ed, the Clinton campaign said, "We decline to confirm the authenticity of any individual emails that have been hacked by the Russian government."
The campaign has similarly not confirmed or denied the authenticity of any of the emails published by WikiLeaks or commented on any content in them. ABC News has not determined the authenticity of the emails published by WikiLeaks.

The focus of TLM is linking and traceability. The major strength of the TDM software is the ability to become highly integrated into the existing system landscapes of a machining company.
TDM supports the NC program-related management of tool lists and the recording of cutting data from production and also makes the permanent optimization of tool use possible. International production companies can introduce centrally defined, cross-plant tool standards. This reduces costs and cycle times.
The software architecture of TDM enables the implementation of local, company-wide, and in the future cloud-based solutions. At the same time, TDM is also available on various output devices. With TDM, you can map single processes as well as install universal, company-wide solutions. Single plants access the central TDM database as clients. As necessary, they see and manage only the production resources related to their own plant. Use of the TDM can be configured individually.
TDM is a neutral system – it is open to all tool manufacturers, but at the same time it is not linked to specific systems. Thus, it can communicate with many current systems from planning and production. This neutrality enables TDM to integrate into the complete tool lifecycle. The system collects data from production and transfers this data to other systems. Furthermore, TDM is open for connections to many online platforms for tool data.
The first step in the tool lifecycle is pro-duction-oriented construction. Which tools are best suited for which process steps? Which combinations are efficient? TDM supports designers with elementary information on tools and their possible applications.
TDM helps with tool selection for each NC operation, stores geometry and cutting data for each tool assembly, makes 3D-tool graphics available for NC and simulation analyses, and saves tool lists from the NC programs for further preparation on production level.
The production resources and tools must be on the machine at the right time. This is no problem thanks to the communica-tion between TDM and MES and the organized tool logistics. TDM provides the tool lists for each NC program for order-specific tool preparation.
Cutting tools are capital-intensive production resources. With TDM, the work in progress inventory and actual crib inventories are kept low, orders are initiated at the ideal time, and the tool variety is kept as low as possible.
Precision begins with the tools: TDM cooperates with leading presetter manufacturers. During the measuring procedure, these systems access the nominal data stored for each tool assembly in TDM and transfer the actual data measured back to TDM.
With TDM, the tools and NC programs simultaneously get to the correct machine, together with the current actual data of the presetted tools. The data transfer is carried out with TDM via DNC or with tool chips.
With the ERP connection, TDM takes the relevant tool information directly from commercial order management and supports the tool preassignment and procurement processes along with master data adjustment.


As a writer, sometimes you need a very specific word written a million different ways. My fiction project has a character who, for various reasons, is trying to slip the color "yellow" past some algorithms. She'll be flagged if she types out "yellow," so she's looking for alternative names.
Most of my people on FB (which has a mix of pro and personal connections) are a bit more astute and came up with not only the charts below but many useful suggestions in mere seconds. How did authors write before the Internet?
Then I found a chart.
I know a lot more names for "yellow" now. Fictional algorithms, YIELD SIGN to my whims!


On September 12, Apple opened the Steve Jobs Theater on their new campus in Cupertino with an announcement of new hardware. There was the new Apple Watch 3, Apple TV-4K, and two new iPhones.
Outside of the tech press, everyone is focused on the iPhone X, "X" for the Roman numeral 10, a marvel of engineering but will cost $1,000. Breaking that $1,000 barrier is a big thing because it makes the iPhone X the most expensive smartphone on the market.
But I see another story that can be more important to a lot of other markets than the price of the device. It is the technology that can be industry altering.
Both the iPhone 8 and iPhone X have dual-lens cameras that are designed to enhance the use of photography. The new cameras have larger sensors that pick up more pixels of information with a processor that can better process the image.
It is the image processing and the iPhone's ability to use the detailed images to map the terrain, textures, and to use augmented reality (AR) to enhance what the camera sees.
An area where this technology can help numismatics is with computer-based grading.
Computer-based grading was first tried in 1991 using the technology of the day. While it was a good start, the technology was just not ready for the ability to grade coins.
Apple proved that the technology is ready to try again.
Human-based grading has led to an environment of mistrust amongst the grading services. It is the failure of humans to be consistent in grading that leads to religious-like arguments as to which grading service is better. These failures have led the creation of verification services to check up on the ability of grading services to do their job.
The ability for the imaging process to visualize and analyze thousands of polygons on an image, the way imaging technology visualizes the three-dimensional surface, in such a way to allow for real-time expression processing and rendering can be used to assess the surface of a coin.
Another problem that can be resolved is the crack out game. Some people will crack coins out of their slabs to submit them to the grading services multiple times to play on the failure of humans to be consistent to try to have the coins graded higher. The information created based on the surface analysis of the coin will result in digital data that should be unique to each coin. Minute scratches and other environmental factors can help distinguish one coin from another in the same manner that there are subtle differences that can detect on identical twin from another.
Creating a digital signature for each coin will help prevent theft or help law enforcement use the information to track stolen items.
Imaging analysis can look at the surface to find alterations like the use of a chemical that would change the surface. Rather than using the "sniffing" technology that Professional Coin Grading Service has pioneered to find chemical additives, a surface analysis can detect chemical-based alterations to the surface.
Altered surface detection can also be used to detect unnatural toning. It will require teaching the imaging systems to detect the differences between natural and unnatural toning, but the long-term benefits to the hobby will be tremendous.
Aside from grading consistency and the ability detect altered surface, it is possible to expand current technologies that will help detect the use of plated or other metal counterfeits. Devices that are able to visualize a few microns under the surface of the coin to detect the metal content along with the new visualization technologies will make it more difficult to pass counterfeit coins.
In the short term, this will not put the third-party grading services out of business but it will change their business. They will not be grading and regrading coins. The computer will analyze the coin, provide the owner with a report, and that report will be consistent regardless of the imaging process used. Otherwise, the coin was altered and you would know about it.
Eventually, this could eliminate the plastic slab that has been counterfeited. The coin itself becomes its own identifier and reduces the reliance on the slab.
This technology will eliminate the verification services. There will no need for a human to verify the human-based grading. After all, the fourth-party verification process is artificially driving up the costs of collector coins because of blind trust placed in humans verifying humans.
Although I spent nearly all of my adult life in the technology industry, I am not for technology completely taking over all aspects of our lives. There is a level of trust in the hardware and software that must be earned to have me feel comfortable with things like self-driving cars or even maintaining personal information (see the recent Equifax breach).
However, I am for the use of technology where it can solve a problem. Technology can solve the problem of inconsistent grading. Technology can solve the problem of coin identification. Technology can solve the problems with counterfeiting. Why not use technology to increase the trust in the numismatic market by fixing these problems?
It is now time that technology was put to use in the numismatic and collecting industries in order to create a level of assurance for the collector that their item is genuine and the condition is what the collectible is being represented as.

As I continue my research into history and technology of counterfeiting, I have been collecting historical statistics as to the problem of counterfeiting. I thought I would share the current statistics I found.
The most common counterfeited denomination is the 20s, be they dollars, pounds, euros, or pesos. For currencies whose values are significantly lower than the dollar, such as the yuan, or whose currencies have no real fractions, like the yen, the most common counterfeited denomination is the 100 unit.
In the past few years, many countries and central banks have released new currency with additional anti-counterfeiting technologies. Canada is currently in the process to transition to the cotton bond currency to a polymer substrate. Since starting the transition, the Bank of Canada is reporting a decrease of 141,502 notes in 2007 ($3.3 million in value) to 17,492 in 2016 ($900,000 in value). For Canada, this is a decrease in 88-percent of the number of notes passed and a decrease of 73-percent in value.
A few months ago, the Royal Mint began the process of issuing a 12-sided pound coin to replace the round-pound because about 2.5 percent of 1.6 billion of 1 pound coins are counterfeit. Although this has been a painful process, the Brits will continue the transition which calls for demonetizing the round-pound by October 15, 2017.
The Bank of England began issuing currency using the polymer substrate starting with the £5 notes. The paper fiver was withdrawn on May 5, 2017 (withdraw the £5 on 5/5… get it?!). Plans continue to issue the £10 note in September.
The move to polymer notes was prompted because of a spike in counterfeiting in 2012. Spiking at more than 746,000 counterfeiting notes with a value of £13.71 million, the Bank of England reports that 347,000 counterfeit notes valued at £7.47 million were confiscated in 2016.
Eurozone has had more problems with counterfeit €2 coins than currency.
The European Central Bank reports that counterfeiting remains low in the Eurozone and even reduced by 20.7-percent from 2015 to 2016. Of the notes counterfeited, the €20 and €50 notes make up 80.3-percent of the most counterfeited currency. Surprisingly, the €100 (at 9.7-percent) and €500 notes (4.9-percent) are not as widely counterfeited. However, the ECB has other concerns with these high denomination notes since the €500 notes are a favorite amongst the cash-based illegal trade because it takes fewer notes to carry a high-volume of currency. One study noted that the €500 note was referred to as the "Bin-Laden" for its added convenience.
The ECB is in the process of transitioning their currency to the new Europa Series. A new €50 note was issued this past April. Aside from new designs, the Europa series uses some of the advanced technologies to prevent counterfeiting but does so on cotton bond. Currently, there is no plan to use the polymer substrate for the Euro notes.
As opposed to other central banks, the People's Bank of China (PBC) is not as forthcoming with information. But when they do something, news reporters can obtain some nuggets of information from Chinese officials. When the PBC unveiled new 100 yuan notes with additional counterfeiting features, they reported to the Wall Street Journal that police confiscated 532 million yuan ($85.6 million) in counterfeit bills in 2014. The most commonly counterfeited notes were 50 yuan and 100 yuan bills but there have been increases in lower denominations.
Mexico has been undergoing a slow conversion to polymer notes. Currently, the 20- and 50-peso notes are made using polymer and the new generation of 100-peso notes are made of polymer. Higher denominations continue to be printed on cotton bond but incorporate a number of advanced anti-counterfeiting features other countries are using. The Bank of Mexico has not announced plans to convert higher denominations but a representative reported that the plan is to print future special issues on cotton bond, such as the 100-peso banknote commemorating The 100th Anniversary of The Enactment of the Constitution issued last February.
Statistics published by the Bank of Mexico reports a decrease in the number of counterfeit currency from 70.7 per million issued to 61.8 per million notes issued. This represents a decrease of 12.6-percent. When the Bank of Mexico issued the new polymer 20- and 50-peso notes in 2014, they experienced a drop in 36.9-percent in counterfeiting.
It is not a surprise that the world's most use currency and the currency that most world trade is based is the most counterfeited currency in the world. There is also more United States currency in circulation that any other, including the Euro. According to the Federal Reserve, there is approximately $1.49 trillion in Federal Reserve notes circulation. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco says that 31.1-percent of those notes is the ubiquitous dollar and 26-percent are $100 Federal Reserve Notes mostly held overseas.
Prop Movie Money continues to be a problem because people just do not look!
According to the United States Secret Service in their 2015 Annual Report, the latest available, they prevented the circulation of over $58 million in counterfeit U.S. currency resulting in the arrest of 796 criminals and closing 145 manufacturing operations. Of the $58 million counterfeited, $28 million, about half, of the bogus U.S. currency was seized prior to it being circulated.
The $20 bill is the most commonly counterfeited banknote in the U.S., while overseas counterfeiters are more likely to make fake $100 bills.
In every report downloaded from the various governments and central banks regarding the security of their currency, it is a common theme that the vast majority of counterfeiting would have a minimal impact if people would just look for the anti-counterfeiting measures these entities go through great lengths to add to the currency. Whether it is not looking for the edge lettering on the old round-pound or the recent cut-and-paste of the security features of Canadian currency, there would be few problems if people would just look.

On the left is an altered British £1 coin. The coin on the right is a legitimate coin.
As the British public transitions to the new £1 coin, the finding of errors in the minting process by the Royal Mint have led to a new phenomenon, the counterfeiting of those errors.
According to media reports confirmed by the Royal Mint, the three significant errors found are when the thistle on the reverse did not strike properly is produced as a smooth blob, the copper-nickel center of the bimetallic planchet appears to have melted across the coin, and the inner disc and outer ring did not fuse properly. Coins with legitimate errors have been sold on eBay (U.K. and U.S.) for significant premiums.
Unfortunately, scammers have picked up on these problems and have been selling altered coins on eBay as errors. Common alterations are based on removing the silver-colored center and create error-like coins by making different alterations. Amongst the tries to create something that looks like an error includes the Queen's portrait appearing on the wrong side of the coin and facing the wrong direction which is impossible because of the how these coins are struck, the center of the obverse lacking the Queen's portrait, and gouges removed from the center.
Both the errors and fakes are being sold for an average of £300 (approx. $386.13) on eBay.
If you want to purchase a British £1 error coin carefully examine the image and the image of a legitimate coin from the Royal Mint's website. Make sure the person you are buying from has a return policy or buy from a dealer. Of course, it is easier to be careful buying from the U.K. on that side of the Atlantic, but for those U.S.-based error enthusiasts, you have to do your due diligence. Otherwise, you may get stuck with a fake!

Gouvenou on Tour route: 'We always look for balance'
With the route presentation coming up on October 25, officials say they don't design the Tour course with specific riders in mind.
The 2019 Tour de France route will be unveiled on October 25 in Paris amid heightened anticipation.
So what will it look like? Officials do their best to keep things under wraps to intensify the sense of intrigue. What race officials strongly deny is that the course is designed with one specific rider in mind.
"We always try to create a balanced route," Tour technical director Thierry Gouvenou told VeloNews. "We never design a course with one rider in mind. That's not how we do it."
Some might question that, especially after the 2012 Tour route that seemed tailor-made for eventual winner Bradley Wiggins. Packed with time trials, Wiggins went on to win Britain's first yellow jersey and open the era of Sky's domination of the Tour. Team Sky has won every Tour since 2012, except in 2014 when Chris Froome crashed out and Vincenzo Nibali won.
Though Tour officials are loathe to admit it, it does seem that they like to tilt the course design away from the established favorites and give a glimmer of hope to the would-be challengers. Following the emergence of Primoz Roglic in 2018, it wouldn't be surprising to see some final-week stages that could favor the explosive climber with strong time trial credentials.
Of course, Gouvenou is quick to point out that many riders share the same qualities, so that's why they insist that they do not design the course with one rider or team in mind. Some suggested this summer's route was designed for French hope Romain Bardet, but one could have predicted that Geraint Thomas was going to win the 2018 Tour.
Gouvenou did say that the Tour is pressing to keep innovating when it comes to each year's course. Gravel, steep climbs, and shorter stages are seeping into the Tour fabric.
"We like to change the course every year and make it unpredictable. We want to force the team to change the way they race," he said. "We design the course based on many factors, not about a rider or team."
Gouvenou, along with Tour director Christian Prudhomme and other Tour officials, spend months designing each year's Tour route.
The process can stretch out over years as officials, led by Prudhomme and his team, work to procure host cities. Contracts are typically hammered out at least one to two years in advance for the Grand Départ. And once they have that in place, officials then plot out the directional flow of the Tour. One of the main questions is which comes first; the Alps or the Pyrénées. After the general layout is in place, that gives Gouvenou, who designs the nitty-gritty details of each stage, plenty of time to fill in the dots.
Gouvenou and other Tour staffers then dig into maps, contacts and other resources to plot each day's stage. And once it's plotted, officials drive each stage from start to finish — usually before the official announcement in October — for one final check.
So what's going to be new for 2019? There are always rumors of new, undiscovered climbs or dramatic roads.
For Gouvenou, a former pro who took over as technical director when Jean-Francois Pescheux retired in 2014, the Tour wants to find the right balance between innovation and tradition.
"Everyone likes the shorter stages and we have experimented with that over the last few years," Gouvenou said. "But there is still a place for longer stages. You must make the race hard to keep the character of the Tour. We cannot have 21 stages of 110km each! There is a wide spectrum of distances, but the average is around 180km."
We already know the race will start July 6 in Brussels for the second time in Tour history. The event will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first of five Tour wins by Eddy Merckx. Next year's Tour will also mark 100 years since the introduction of the yellow jersey.
The race will open with a road stage reaching across the Flanders and Wallonne regions, giving sprinters a chance for the yellow jersey. The second stage will be a 24km team time trial, a format that always proves decisive in the GC. And we know it will end July 28 in Paris.
There are rumors of a return to the Vosges, more gravel and even suggestions of a climbing time trial up Mont Ventoux. Gouvenou always likes to keep a few surprises up his sleeve. We will find out October 25 in Paris.

In my last article, I shared my Ride to Kaziranga National Park from Guwahati. In that article, I narrated my ride to Kaziranga and how I explored the National Park. I stayed in Kaziranga National Park for two days and in those two days, explored the national park in the best possible way. My visit included the Western and the Central Range of the park, and I explored Kaziranga on both jeep and elephant safari. Since Kaziranga National Park is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Assam as well as in North-East India, I decided to write a blog focusing only on Kaziranga National Park. While my previous article dealt mostly with my ride, I decided to write this article for the audience planning to visit the Kaziranga National Park. Therefore, in this article, I will be sharing every possible information related to the Kaziranga National Park. Information like how to reach Kaziranga National Park, Zones in Kaziranga National Park, and How to explore the Kaziranga National Park. I will also share the information related to accommodation facilities at Kaziranga National Park, basic amenities, Safari timings & cost, and other valuable information. I hope this article would be beneficial for a memorable trip to Kaziranga National Park.

The Kaziranga National Park lies in the Indian state of Assam. Assam is one of the north-east states of India, and the park lies around 200 Kilometers from state capital Guwahati. The park spreads into three districts of Assam, namely Golaghat, Karbi Anglong, and Nagaon, covering an area of 430 sq km. The Kaziranga Animal Corridor runs from Kaliabor in Nagaon district to Bokakhat in Golaghat district. The animal corridor is also known as the State Highway 1 or AH1, and the national park spreads on both sides of this highway. In general, the Kaziranga National Park lies in the center of Assam and at the heart of North-East India.

In case you want to reach Kaziranga via railways, then there are a few smaller railway station, but it would be hard to get trains stopping on those stations at regular intervals. The smaller railway stations are Chaparmukh, Hojai, Lanka, but it is recommended to deboard at Guwahati or Jorhat and travel by road.
By Road: The Kaziranga National Park is easily accessible via road, and the entrance gate of the national park lies on the State Highway, also known as AH1.

One thing to note is that while searching Kaziranga National Park, it is advisable to search Kohora instead of Kaziranga. The reason is that if we search by Kaziranga, the google map suggests the entrance gate of Kaziranga, which is 170 kilometers from Guwahati. In reality, tourists have to reach Kohora, which is the central range of Kaziranga. Travelers need to arrive at Kohora for ticket bookings and accommodation.
The main attraction of the Kaziranga National Park is the one-horned rhinoceroses, and the park hosts two-thirds of the world's population of one-horned rhinoceroses. According to the latest census, the park has 2,413 rhinos, which comprises 1,641 adult rhinos (642 males, 793 females, 206 unsexed), and 387 sub-adults (116 males, 149 females, 122 unsexed) and 385 calves.

The Brahmaputra basin and the numerous lakes within the park are home to different species of reptiles, amphibians, and fish.

Since Kaziranga is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Assam and North-East India, accommodation is readily available here. The best hotels, homestays, and dorms are available near Kohora or the Central Range of Kaziranga. Although one can find hotels and homestays 10 kilometers from both sides of Kohora, the best hotels are near Kohora. When I reached Kohora, I was able to get accommodation in 10 minutes. There is no need for pre-booking, especially if you are traveling alone or in a small group. In case you are going in a big group or with females, its good to do a pre-booking. Depending upon the budget and number of people traveling, one can get accommodation in 10-15 minutes. Kaziranga has hotels starting from thousand rupees to a few hundred, and depending upon need; one can stay there. Since I was traveling solo and on a fixed budget, I went for a dorm and booked a bed for just 100 rupees.
Visiting Kaziranga requires a good plan as one is skeptical about which range they should visit to see the most animals. I faced the same problem, and that is the reason I came up with this article. As described, the park is divided into five primary zones, and each zone has its attraction. Most of the tourists visiting Kaziranga confine themselves to the Western and Central Range and never explore other ranges. During my visit, I did the same and toured the eastern and central range but later revisited the Eastern Range while returning from Sivasagar to Guwahati at the end of my trip. The only range I missed while exploring the Kaziranga was the Burapahar Range. On day one, I attended the afternoon Jeep Safari in the Western Range. On day two, I did the morning elephant safari at Western Range and evening Jeep safari in the central range. While returning from Sivasagar to Guwahati, I explored the eastern range of Kaziranga. I was satisfied with the way I traveled the Kaziranga as I gave sufficient time to the National Park. Before planning, it is necessary to allocate adequate days for the park. A minimum of two days is mandatory if you are a wildlife lover. If you want to cover the park extensively, then three or more days are sufficient. The detailed itinerary can be as follow:
Day One: Reach Kaziranga by afternoon and go to the safari counter and book tickets for the evening Jeep Safari for Burapahar Range and at the same time, get the tickets for Morning Elephant Safari at the western range. Also, do the registration for the evening jeep safari at the central range. It is good to make the booking of all the ranges the day you arrive as it will ensure that you get the seats, especially in the central range.
Day Two: Start the day with early morning Elephant safari in the western range. In the afternoon, go for the Jeep safari at the Central Ranges.
Day Three: Start early morning for the eastern range for bird watching. Since bird-watching requires a lot of patience, it will take more time as compared to Jeep and elephant safari if you have extra days than plan a Jeep safari in the evening at the western range. Depending on the time you spend in the Eastern Range, you can leave Kaziranga on day three of day four.
If you are running short on time, then visiting the western range is the best option. Try exploring the Western Range both by jeep (evening) and elephant safari(morning), and you will get a glimpse of the diversity of Kaziranga National Park.
The Eastern Range of Kaziranga National Park Is famous for Bird Watching
Before visiting Kaziranga, it is necessary to know when the park is open to visitors. The year-long calendar of Kaziranga National Park is as follow:
During this time, the region remains hot and humid with less vegetation due to the Autumn season. This is the best time to spot animals nearby the water bodies. The probability of tiger sightseeing in early morning and evening can't be ruled out.
The park remains closed for visitors during monsoon, and animals are left for breeding. Moreover, this time of the year, whole India receives heavy rainfall, including the north-east region. The Brahmaputra river flows above the danger mark; therefore, it is not advisable to visit the park during this time.
The winter season is perhaps the best time to visit the Kaziranga National Park. During winter months, the temperature is moderate, and animals come out for grazing and hunting. This time is also best for birds watching as many migratory birds visit the eastern zone.
The Assam Tourism Department organizes Jeep and Elephant safari for the easy exploration of the national park and animal sightseeing. The safari timings are divided into morning and afternoon, which are as follow:
Morning Jeep Safari: 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM
Afternoon Jeep Safari: 02:00 PM to 04:00 PM
Morning- 05:30 / 06:30
Tourist Information Center At Kohora In Kaziranga National Park
There are two ways to book the jeep and elephant safari at Kaziranga. One can book the tickets directly from the main office at Kohora. Alternatively, tourists can ask the hotel in which they are staying to book the ticket on their behalf. When I was in Kaziranga, I used both methods where I booked the jeep safari at the counter and requested my homestay owner to book the tickets of elephant safari on my behalf. One thing to remember is that if you are traveling alone, then it is better to book the jeep safari directly at the counter. It allows to split the fare with other travelers else booking a safari for a single person would be expensive.
The price of booking elephant and jeep safari at Kaziranga differs for Indian and foreign nationals. The jeep is booked as a whole while it is an individual ticket in case of an elephant. Moreover, the additional cost is added in terms of guard fees, entry fees, tolls, and camera fees. If we speak in terms of individual, the price varies (Indian citizen) between 800 to 1500 per head for the jeep safari and 1000 per head for Elephant safari. The complete break down of the fees in Kaziranga National Park is as follows:
The park entry fees is 100 rupees for Indian citizens and 650 rupees for foreign nationals.
The Jeep cost varies from range to range depending upon the distance. The fee for Central Range is INR 1750, for Western Range, it is INR 1850, For Eastern Range, the fare is INR 2250, and for Burapahar Range, the cost is INR 2750. The fees mentioned here are for the only jeep, and charges for entry and toll are separate. A single-vehicle accommodates a maximum of six people.
The elephant safari at Kaziranga cost around 900 rupees for Indian citizens and 2000 for foreigners. The elephant safari is available at the main gate of each range, and therefore tourists have to reach there by themselves. The duration of elephant safari is one hour and mostly operated in the morning.
An additional 300 rupees for the toll for safaris in Kaziranga. This amount is paid for the maintenance of the safari track and charged per vehicle basis.
This is an additional fee for carrying a camera in the park. One hundred rupees for still camera and INR 250 for video cameras. For professional videography, separate charges and permissions have to be taken.
A separate fee of INR 25 for guards per vehicle basis.
While there are so many additional charges in the case of Jeep Safari, the same is not applicable for Elephant Safari. The final cost for Jeep Safari in Kaziranga is around 3000 to 4000, depending on the range. The jeep safari allows a maximum of six-person while it is four people per elephant. Therefore the final price per head varies between 800 to 1400 rupees for Indian citizens for jeep safari. For foreigners, the same may range between 1500 to 2000 rupees. Since I was also traveling alone, I joined a group of 3 travelers and split my fare with them. It is always advisable to share the cost by finding a few more travelers near the booking counter.
A Notice Board At Kohora Listing Jeep And Elephant Safari Rates In Kaziranga
Although the park itself is a big tourist attraction, apart from Kaziranga, there are many more beautiful sites near Kaziranga. Kaziranga lies in the vicinity of the hills of Assam, and there are many beautiful trekking sites for nature lovers. Not only the natural beauty, but the area is also famous for many historical sites that are easily accessible from Kaziranga. Few places travelers can visit while in the Kaziranga National Park are:
The park lies near to the Tourist Information Center in Kohora and a popular place for seeing different types of plants and flowers found in Assam. The park has shops selling handicraft items made up of wood and bamboo.
The entire north-east is famous for its tea and tea gardens, but the majority of tea estates lie in Assam. Assam alone produces more than half of India's tea production. Throughout the Kaziranga Animal Corridor, you will find tea estates spread across both sides of the road. There are many tea estates in the state, and the tea estates of Jorhat are most famous among all. Visiting tea estates can be an informational tour where one can learn about from the origin of tea estates in Assam to their current production.
A boating tour on the Dhanbari Ghat in the eastern range is another must to do the thing if you have extra days. Unlike jeep and elephant safari, the boat safari doesn't have fixed timings and can be booked depending upon availability. Not many people venture for the boat ride, but if you go for the boat safari, there is a high probability of seeing the Gaganes River Dolphin. More info is available at the tourist information center in Kohora. Another favorite spot for watching the river dolphin is at the Koliabhumura Bridge in Tezpur.
If you are a trek lover and want to witness the beauty of Kaziranga while walking, this is probably the best option. The Tourism department organizes trek in the Burhapahar Range, and tourists can book slots at the Kohoara Information center.
A beautiful waterfall situated 30 kilometers from Kohora and ten kilometers from Bokaghat. A one hour ride will take you to this beautiful waterfall.
A garden famous for different varieties of butterflies. Various types of flowers are planted here to attract butterflies. The park lies near the eastern range of Kaziranga.
The Deopahar Site also lies near the eastern range of Kaziranga, and the site hosts sculptures dating from the period somewhere between 7th and 9th century AD. The Deopahar temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is an important temple situated here. The word Deopahar means the "The Hill of The God" and an important site to visit while visiting Kaziranga National Park.
I hope this article helps travelers planning to visit Kaziranga National Park. I tried my best to explain every necessary thing to explore Kaziranga in the best possible way. In case you need additional information or details, kindly let me know via the comments or drop me a message and I would try my best to help you out.

ma ti sei visto la conferenza video di 8 ore?
The comet was hit by a Coronal mass ejection during its pass near the sun; some rumoured it had "disturbed" the sun, but mainstream scientists dismissed this notion. After the comet left LASCO's field of view around February 23, an object was seen at the bottom of the images. Although technicians dismissed this as a glitch, rumours persisted that the comet had been expelled from the sun.
Discovered by the Near Earth Asteroid Tracking team (NEAT) in 2002, comet 2002 V1 never reached naked eye visibility but was easily seen in amateur size telescopes.
This image was taken February 2, 2003 as the comet approached the sun. As flags on poles always wave in the direction of the prevailing wind, so do the tails of comets. The sun emits a solar wind that causes the tail to blow away from the sun. When the comet is traveling away from the sun, the comet actually chases its tail.
mi ero informato e ufficialmente la corona di gas della cometa era 2 volte Giove circa, la dimensione totale, ma il nucleo secondo la NASA era mi pare 500km se non ricordo male…secondo la NASA..
si ma nessuna delle fonti hce hai citato parla delle dimensioni….


USDJPY seems to be less active today since there are no major economic reports. After the sharp fall on Friday, USDJPY started today with bullish bias. It is finding support at 106.27 with resistance at 107.55 which both lines are below the weekly pivot point at 108.15. The EMA of 10 dropped below the EMA of 75 indicating the sudden price fall. All indicators are signaling price decline; the MACD indicator is in negative territory, the RSI is in oversold area and the ADX is showing strong sellers. There might be lots of rebounds on the way. Sellers can open their positions at the moment and target 105.80.
