Things To Do In Jatinga
Planning A Trip To Jatinga? Here's our list of top things to do in Jatinga
Usually known as the Valley of Death for Birds, Jatinga's a small village in Assam's Dima Hasao District. Encompassed by scenic beauty, the popular mystery behind the death of bird species here is what makes Jatinda a tourist attraction. Over the last century or so, numerous birds have died over this small land strip, unexplained, despite extensive research by the country's top birdwatchers. Every year, typically in September and October, specifically on dark, moonless nights, nearly 44 bird species get disturbed in between the hours of 6-9.30 pm, become unsettled and plunge down towards the city lights and torches. Usually, it is the villagers who kill the birds, in the belief that the spirits are flying about in a bid to scare them, and hence beat the birds to their death with bamboo poles.
Spooky, isn't it? If you are already hooked on to this place then here's a variety of things to do in and around Jatinga.
Jatinga Bird Observatory

Situated about 57km from the city, is the Jatinga Bird Observatory that's a gorgeous place to visit, especially in the months of November through February, when it is home to different bird species both local and migratory. The bird species include pond herons, black bitterns, kingfishers, tiger bitterns and more. The site is much renowned and virtually a scenic paradise, especially during the winter months and also has gorgeous views of the Assamese mountain ranges.

About 4 km from Jatinga, is the Hempeupet Summit, where the sunrise is comparatively better as a natural marvel when compared to the rising sun from the Tiger Hill in Darjeeling. Located at nearly 6,000 ft above the sea's level, the peak serves as a backdrop for an exotic trail in the North Cachar Hills, for trekking in the Borail mountain range. A steam safari will take you into a local village to experience the ethnic tribe's daily lifestyle and their culture.
Jatinga International Festival

From visiting a number of water cascades after a fair amount of trekking to visiting the area and witnessing the life and daily chores of the various Assamese tribes in the region, the town is abundant with cultural and traditional activities with the locals extending warm and welcoming hospitality towards their visitors. In the Dima Hasao District itself, there are a number of local communities inhabiting the region, who also celebrate numerous festivals inclusive of music and dance to express their joy and celebratory fervor. These festivals include Bushu, festivals with agricultural relevance and other social causes like Nchang-bambe, Siami, Helei-bambe and more!

Heidegger in Ruins
Between Philosophy and Ideology
Written by: Richard Wolin
Narrated by: Paul Brion
Martin Heidegger's sympathies for the conservative revolution and National Socialism have long been well known. As the rector of the University of Freiburg in the early 1930s, he worked hard to reshape the university in accordance with National Socialist policies. He also engaged in an all-out struggle to become the movement's philosophical preceptor, "to lead the leader." Yet for years, Heidegger's defenders have tried to separate his political beliefs from his philosophical doctrines
Reconsidering Reparations
Written by: Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò
Narrated by: Amir Abdullah
Reparations for slavery have become a reinvigorated topic for public debate over the last decade. Most theorizing about reparations treats it as a social justice project—either rooted in reconciliatory justice focused on making amends in the present; or, they focus on the past, emphasizing restitution for historical wrongs. Olúfemi O. Táiwò argues that neither approach is optimal, and advances a different case for reparations—one rooted in a hopeful future that tackles the issue of climate change head on, with distributive justice at its core.
Versöhnungstheater
Written by: Max Czollek
Narrated by: Max Czollek
Max Czolleks legendäre Bücher "Desintegriert Euch!" und "Gegenwartsbewältigung" streuten lustvoll Zweifel an den deutschen Narrativen von Integration bis Leitkultur. Scharf, gewitzt und an jeder Stelle überraschend, schließt Versöhnungstheater diesen Kreis, wenn es nach der aktuellen Erinnerung an die Verbrechen der Vergangenheit fragt. Nach weltweit bewunderten Gesten der deutschen Selbstvergewisserung vom Warschauer Kniefall bis zum Holocaust-Mahnmal hat sich in letzter Zeit einiges verändert.
Written by: Sun Tzu, Stefan Rudnicki, B.D. Wong
Narrated by: Ron Silver
For the Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, war was synchronic with life. Tzu viewed the world as a network of combat zones where the stakes were high, struggle was the primary mode of being, no one was to be trusted, and survival depended on nothing less than unconditional victory. This 2,500-year-old work of wisdom continues to guide and inspire people of all cultures, teaching the principles of strategy required in everything from sports and business to affairs of the heart. Augmented by commentary and anecdotes, this audio edition maintains the pure, near-poetic tone of the original work.
Written by: Sun Tzu,
Some books emerge from a lifetime of hard-won knowledge. Robert D. Kaplan has learned, from a career spent reporting on wars, revolutions, and international politics in Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, that the essence of geopolitics is tragedy. In The Tragic Mind, he employs the works of ancient Greek dramatists, Shakespeare, German philosophers, and the modern classics to explore the central subjects of international politics: order, disorder, rebellion, ambition, loyalty to family and state, violence, and the mistakes of power.
The Struggle for a Decent Politics
On "Liberal" as an Adjective
Written by: Michael Walzer
Narrated by: Robert Fass
There was a time when liberalism was an ism like any other, but that time, writes Michael Walzer, is gone. "Liberal" now conveys not a specific ideology but a moral stance, so the word is best conceived not as a noun but as an adjective—one is a "liberal democrat" or a "liberal nationalist." Walzer itemizes the characteristics described by "liberal" in an inventory of his own deepest political and moral commitments—among other things, to the principle of equality, to the rule of law, and to a pluralism that is both political and cultural.
100 Quotes by Charles Louis de Montesquieu
Written by: Montesquieu
Narrated by: Brad Carty
Featuring some of the most brilliant and notable sayings from a revolutionising world, "100 Quotes by Charles Louis de Montesquieu" is the perfect companion for readers looking to be inspired by one of the most influential figures in history. French judge, historian, and political philosopher, Montesquieu remains a leading figure in the French Revolution and a major influence on the Founding Fathers of the United States. Responsible for devising a government separated into branches of power, his political theories remain in practice in many constitutions throughout the world today.
100 Quotes by Alexis de Tocqueville
Written by: Alexis de Tocqueville
A French political philosopher and politician, Alexis de Tocqueville's works are now considered early examples of sociology and political science. They include many of his famous insights, such as "Nothing is more wonderful than the art of being free, but nothing is harder to learn how to use than freedom." and "There are two things which a democratic people will always find very difficult - to begin a war and to end it".
A Spectre, Haunting
Written by: China Miéville
Narrated by: China Miéville
In 1848, THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO was published by two émigrés from Germany. Marx and Engels' apocalyptic vision of an insatiable system that penetrates every corner of the world reduces every relationship to that of profit, and burst asunder the old forms of production and of politics. It is still a recognisable picture of our world–the vampiric energy of the system being once again highly contentious.
Of the Social Contract and Other Political Writings
Written by: Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Quintin Hoare, Christopher Bertram
Narrated by: Heather Long, John Kapansa, Roy McMillan
These are the famous opening words of a treatise that has stirred vigorous debate ever since its first publication in 1762. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, Rousseau argues instead for a pact, or 'social contract', that should exist between all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power.

Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius
Written by: Niccolo Machiavelli
Narrated by: Monroe Clark McBride
The Discourses on Livy, published posthumously in 1531, is a work of political history and philosophy composed in the early 16th century by the famed Florentine public servant and political theorist Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) and is widely considered one of his masterpieces.
Come si cura il nazi
Iperliberismo e ossessioni identitarie
Written by: Franco Berardi

The author, Jerome Segal, is challenging Joe Biden for the nomination of the Democratic Party. The audiobook is primarily the first audio of Dr. Segal's seminal 1999 book, Graceful Simplicity: The Philosophy and Politics of Simple Living
The Inevitable Revolution
Written by: Leo Tolstoy
Narrated by: Malk Williams
The Inevitable Revolution is an essay about abolishing the law of violence and replacing it with the law of love. It is a text on civil disobedience, pacifism, and anarchism, and it is Tolstoy's last non-fiction work detailing his final opinions on political, economic, and religious issues. In it, he criticizes prisons, parliaments, wars, conscription, capitalism, theft, revolutionary violence, and taxes, and praises Christianity's message of love as the solution to these problems; although he also recognizes the law of love in other religions.
In this sweeping philosophical work, Amartya Sen proposes that the murderous violence that has riven our society is driven as much by confusion as by inescapable hatred. Challenging the reductionist division of people by race, religion, and class, Sen presents an inspiring vision of a world that can be made to move toward peace as firmly as it has spiraled in recent years toward brutality and war.
Against the Great Reset
Eighteen Theses Contra the New World Order
Written by: Michael Walsh - editor
Narrated by: John McLain
In June 2020, prominent business and political leaders gathered for the fiftieth annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, under the rubric of "The Great Reset." In the words of WEF founder Klaus Schwab, the Great Reset is a "unique window of opportunity" afforded by the worldwide COVID-19 panic to build "a new social contract" ushering in a utopian era of economic, social, and environmental justice. But beneath their lofty and inspiring words, what are their actual plans?

Home Destinations Uganda Health
Uganda has been among the rare HIV success stories. Infection rates of 30 per cent of the population in the 1980s fell to 6.4 percent by the end of 2008. However, there has been a spike in recent years compared to the mid-1990s. Meanwhile, the practice of abstinence was found to have decreased.
The prevalence of female genital mutilation (FGM) is low: according to a 2013 UNICEF report, only 1 percent of women in Uganda have undergone FGM, with the practice being illegal in the country.
Life expectancy at birth was estimated to be 53.45 years in 2012. The infant mortality rate was approximately 61 deaths per 1,000 children in 2012. There were eight physicians per 100,000 persons in the early 2000s.The 2006 Uganda Demographic Health Survey (UDHS) indicated that roughly 6,000 women die each year from pregnancy-related complications. However, recent pilot studies by Future Health Systems have shown that this rate could be significantly reduced by implementing a voucher scheme for health services and transport to clinics.
Uganda's elimination of user fees at state health facilities in 2001 has resulted in an 80 percent increase in visits, with over half of this increase coming from the poorest 20 percent of the population. This policy has been cited as a key factor in helping Uganda achieve its Millennium Development Goals and as an example of the importance of equity in achieving those goals.
Despite this policy, many users are denied care if they do not provide their own medical equipment, as happened in the highly publicized case of Jennifer Anguko. Poor communication within hospitals, low satisfaction with health services and distance to health service providers undermine the provision of quality health care to people living in Uganda, and particularly for those in poor and elderly-headed households.
The provision of subsidies for poor and rural populations along with the extension of public private partnerships, have been identified as important provisions to enable vulnerable populations to access health services.
In July 2012, there was an Ebola outbreak in the Kibale District of the country. On 4 October 2012, the Ministry of Health officially declared the end of the outbreak after at least 16 people had died.
The Health Ministry announced on 16 August 2013 that three people had died in northern Uganda from a suspected outbreak of Congo Crimean Hemorrhagic Fever.

Greetings from Georgia, where it snowed a couple of inches overnight and everyone is freaking out. Basically the entire state is shut down. My husband and I are both from up north so this is hilarious to us.
I of course started my day with an extra-fuzzy pair of socks and my beloved LL Bean "wicked good" slippers, because snow and cold and I cannot work in my drafty office without warm feet. And then I saw there's a big sale happening at Happy Socks right now. Coincidence? I don't think so.
What's happier-making than fun socks? I can't think of anything. I'm off to stock up!

Reviewers have marveled at the clarity and the sound-stage that the the SR80i's provide, although most people became very underwhelmed in other aspects of the phone, namely comfort and durability. Channel separation of the 80i's is great however, with each instrument being clear and not drowned out by another.
Keep in mind the SR 80i's are a bit of an older model, and are now discontinued by the manufacturer.
A great set of cans sound wise, people raved about the little details that you can hear with these on. In listening to an acoustic guitar, you will hear the buzz of the strings, the sliding of the fingers, and the actual contact between the pick and the string. Subtle things that you would have never heard with a cheap $20 set.
Fold flat for easy transport.
Powered easily by an iPod (no amp needed).
Great for rock and metal.
Good for low level listening.
Build quality is suspect (very consistent throughout reviews).
Quite a bit of sound bleed/leakage.
They feel a bit flimsy.
The sound quality is amazing, the build quality isn't so great, and they are not that comfortable. They also lack a bass presence that the M50's provide in spades.
Other than that they are exactly the same, and one of the best pairs of headphones for their price. If you are new to the world of audiophiles, these will make you look at music in an entirely different way. That's not to say that they are better than everything else out there. But as an entry level set, they will change your entire perspective on how music should sound. Unlike the 80i's, the M50's excel in nearly every category, and just may be the most common upper entry level headphone reviewed, talked about, and purchased.
Vivid clarity between each instrument.
Ear pads cracking ever so slightly (after 2 years). No effect on sound.
A great set of mixing headphones that also work extremely well for casual listening. The bass is tight and punchy, and for the most part controlled. The ear-pads are prone to cracking after a couple of years, and they can get a bit fatiguing after really long listening sessions.
Both have really great clarity and crispness to them.
Both give an accurate reproduction of sound.
The Grado SR80i's are now discontinued by the manufacturer.
The M50's are great for hip-hop/rap, and have a deep bass response. The Grado's are more suited for rock, metal, classical and jazz. They are lacking in the bass frequency department.
The build quality of the Grado's is poor by almost all accounts. They M50's are as sturdy as it gets. Mine have been through a lot of abuse and come out strong man status every time.
The SR80i's have a really great sound, but aren't that comfortable, and the build quality is suspect. The M50's by contrast have the total package. Sound, comfort, longevity, and affordability.
If you are more into rock, classical, and jazz, where a strong bass emphasis is not at the forefront, you may want to look into the SR80's. Go with the e version though!

If you value a deep and tight bass response, and listen to more hip-hop, EDM and the like, then the 50's are where it's at. Go with the 50x's though!
SEE THEM ON AMAZON FOR YOURSELF!!
Well that's about it for today my friend! Hope you enjoyed my Audio Technica ATH M50 vs. Grado SR80i headphones review, and came away with a better idea of each of these headphones strengths and weaknesses.
Which model tickles your fancy more?? I would love to hear from you. Until next time..
This is a great comparison of two great model headphones. You obviously really know your sound equipment and how they should preform. I like that the m50x are more durable because I tend to be rough on them. But I'm not crazy about deep bass, are these adjustable in range at all? Thanks again for your recommendation and helpful info.
Yes, these are fully adjustable, and in fact the adjustment part is made of stainless steel which gives them a nice look. The Headband itself has not cracked at all in 2 1/2 years for me!!
A very nice set indeed..
I am all about great headphones and willing to spend the money on great ones, but I do not like the look of headphones that fully cover your ears.
I recently took a plane trip with some other friends and had some cheapy head phones. Despite the face that my volume was all the way up, it was still hard to hear the movie we rented.
Now my freind sitting next to me brought his own, which he spent about $150 as well, but these did not cover the ears, yet when you put them on you couldn't hear any background noise, like the airplane itself.
Do you have anyrecommendation for earphones like that?
Also, were they noise cancelling do you know?
What a great website and informative posts! I can tell you know a whole lot about sound equipment! I am not really into all that but I was looking for a great pair of headphones because I love my music but my headphones aren't of the great quality.
I have tried some expensive headphones before and they made a huge difference for sure!
Those are more on the expensive side but they must worth every penny.
1) A great entry level set for you would probably be the Sennheiser HD 202's.. (around $23) These are purely for enjoyment, and sound great! They are super durable and the minimalist construction will have you being as reckless as you want with 'em. They simply don't break! I have them and use them a lot for those late night netflix sessions, or gaming.. Kind of an all purpose set.. They have a long wire which is great for lounging in bed in front of the TV.
2) The Sennheiser HD 280's are an all around great set, a bit neutral meaning they don't accentuate any particular frequency (bass, treble, etc.) They are an honest reproduction of the sound you hear. They also boast really good clarity and crispness.. Be advised they are kind of a reference can, but to you they will sound amazing.. About $99. Think of the M50's as these, but on steroids.
Thanks for this. I was checking out a dj controller for a while and I'm actually thinking of Djing on my down time just for fun. I won't be djing at clubs or anything as of yet. Would you recommend the M50X to a bedroom DJ type of person?
You can't go wrong with these, and yeah I would totally recommend them to anyone in any situation. Think of them as sort of an all purpose set. They do well in virtually any environment.. Mixing/reference, easy listening, DJing, watching movies, etc.. They are closed back which is ideal for you, as you want to be able to focus on your mix without outside distractions. I mix with them a lot in my studio! (in addition to using my monitors). They are really comfortable and extremely durable as well and I've never had to take them off due to discomfort..had 'em for 2 1/2 years!
I can't speak enough about 'em. Back when i got my 50's.. they only came in black.. The 50x's now come in like 4 different colors. Lol. with a detachable cable.
Thanks for providing an in-depth analysis on two great headphones. I am looking to get a new pair of headphones because my old ones have been through a lot of abuse and now there is a short in the wire. The M50x seems to be a higher quality and more durable set of headphones. You did mention that the ear pads might crack around the two year mark. How prevalent is that problem? And do you know if the M50x's come with any kind of warranty. Once again, thanks for a great review.
The cracking is very minor, and is actually my fault! I have worn them quite a bit out of the shower, and I'm sure this contributed greatly to the wear. A very minor nit pick and doesn't affect my comfort level at all.
I can only speak to my own experience on it. But just for you I scoured the amazon reviews and only saw one person say his were cracked. It was at the top of the headband and they were white.
I highly recommend these!! The warranty is 2 years..
Any other quesitons let me know!!
I'll be honest I would'nt touch the Grado's with a barge pole if the Audio Technica ATH M50 were laid out in front of me. I haven't tried out the updated versions but the M50's rocked studio and live settings.
I was recently forced to go through a live set with a set of 4 seinheiser cans ( spelled it wrong! ) and I was really surprised at their quality for the price. What are your views on them?
Hey Chris! I own the Sennheiser HD 280's, and I must say I was underwhelmed when I first put them on. Only after some hours of burn in was I able to appreciate their truly flat frequency response. They are a GREAT set of budget cans for mixing, and do not hype any of the frequency's. The bass now sounds tight and controlled, but never in your face.
By contrast, the M50's bass is super punchy, while still remaining tight with no distortion. I think part of the reason I wasn't feeling the 280's at first was because I had grown so accustomed (and spoiled!) by the M50's for over 2 years! Undoubtedly, a beginning audio enthusiast would probably be blown away by the sound of the Senn's. I usually fall asleep with them on. They are my bed time cans because they sound so pleasant.
I also own the HD 201's and 202's, both great sets of entry level headphones that won't break the bank. Admittedly, I will never go back to budget cans such as these because I've already heard better. They will make a believer out of you if you've never heard anything better than factory ear-buds, or cheap CVS phones.
My next purchase is going to probably be a set of Sennheiser HD 600's, Beyerdynamic DT 880's, or AKG K701 (or 702). These 3 models represent the logical next step from what I have currently.
Great review of the two products! I love your enthusiasm for what you are doing. It shows through in your writing and lets the reader know that you are serious about your music. Because of your enthusiasm, and your great personal style of writing, I was drawn in to your article and thoroughly enjoyed your information. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
Thanks for stopping by and recognizing the passion I have for this stuff. Please come back anytime!
Do you have experience wearing these headphones for longer periods of time? I have found that with certain pairs I've owned that I get headaches after an extended time period of having them on. Are you planning on doing a review on the SR80e in the future against M50x? Also, how do these headphones stack up against bose and beats over ear headphones?
1) I have experience with the M50's for long periods of time, upwards of 6-8 hours with really long sessions. I've had the M50's for 2 1/2 years now, and can vouche for their comfort. Sometimes you will forget you're wearing them!
2) As for the Grado's, I've done quite a bit of research, and the consensus is that they aren't that comfortable over a long period. Being over ear headphones, you may have to adjust them quite a bit.
I could definitely do a comparison of the SR80e if you want!
3) Personally, I don't know much about Bose other than a lot of their models are noise cancelling. The M50's aren't that, but they do come very close in terms of isolating sound. You will not be able to hear much outside noise.. So they do a fine job of that.
4) I prefer over ear headphones, and the consensus on Beats by Dre (i'm assuming that's what you meant) is that they are very bass heavy, and give an unrealistic reproduction of the low end. It's very "hyped" if you will. Plus they are a bit too expensive and are a bit of a rip-off. It's mostly all marketing and less about the quality of the product.
A great pair of headphones makes all the difference when making music while out and about. Recently I bought myself some similar headphones, a slightly different model to these. I sometimes sit in my car on a viewpoint, with my laptop and my new headphones plugged. It's a great way to listen back to some music that I'm working on, without having to be stuck indoors.
The only problem was, after about 30 or 40 minutes this old guy pulled up with his music blaring really loudly, so I had too leave at that point.
Thanks much for sharing! What kind of headphones did you buy?
Thank you for this information, it was very useful. It looks like really good bargain. You made my search easier because I didn't have to look for the cons regarding this model. It is Ironic how I found this page because my boyfriend is looking to build his own studio in his home I will tell him about it! 🙂 Thank you.
Thanks for stopping by! I really do hope you mention my website to your boyfriend. That would be awesome!
Hope to hear from you again soon..
first off those look beautiful! Even the casing looks nice. Would you recommend these for like studio work or just listening to music? I'm mostly into hip op anyway so it might not be the one for me, but I'm going to share this my dad and see if he likes it! Thanks! BTW, I'm thinking about some Beats by Dre in the future, what do you think of those?
Hey Matt! Hope you've been well and are pumping out those tracks!
Anywho, which cans are you referring to? The M50's are great for both studio work AND easy listening! That's what makes them really versatile. It's really a best of both worlds scenario. Perfect for hip-hop. The bass is super tight and hits hard, but still remains clean and not overpowered. I've had mine for 2 1/2 years and couldn't be happier! Just get 'em.
As far as the Grados, never had them but did a lot of research and can't recommend them.
Beats by Dre? Stay away. Over-hyped bass and over priced.
Hope that narrows it down for you! 😉 I would much appreciate it if you passed this along to your dad as well.. Thank you!
How do these match up to beats by dre?
I own a pair of beats and I have to say they are the best headphones I have ever had. While these seem like great headphones, would you say they are better than beats?
Can they also hook up with blue-tooth for wireless use?
Which headphones are you referring to specifically? I had heard that the beats by Dre are a little over-hyped in the low end. I imagine you would really like the M50's as they do have quite a bit of bass, although it's cleaner, tighter, and more controlled. It thumps but it's not overblown..
The Grado's are good headphones but they are lacking a bit in the bass dept. and the build quality is a bit suspect.
As far as bluetooth for the m50: Check this bluetooth mod from amazon.. apparently it's really doable!
Thanks, again your site has been very helpful! I just got my microphone back from storage and now I am looking into some headphones! I might just have to go with m50. I will do some more research and try to figure it out. Thanks for the review, I will be coming back often for more information. Thanks.
Glad you are gaining a better understanding of what you need and don't need for your studio. Come back by anytime! If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask..
Music is such a large part of my life and I need to have a great pair of headphones to be able to switch the world off and dive into my choice of tracks to listen to without distraction. Both of these models look like they have appealing features, but the important thing for me is to be able to have the sound of every instrument come to me with such clarity that I feel I am almost there.
Yes indeed! I agree. I love to hear those subtle nuances that aren't heard in cheap models. The M50's aren't necessarily an audiophile headphone per se, but they truly made me a believer in better sound. There's no going back to cheapie stuff!

Q: How Options work in Apache Into the original httpd.conf, I have
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

I created a config file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ with
NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.2:8009
<VirtualHost  192.168.0.2:8009>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/deve
    ServerName "deve:8009"
    ErrorLog /var/www/deve_errorlog
    CustomLog /var/www/deve_customlog common
    Options -ExecCGI -Indexes
</VirtualHost>

I restart the server and I still can see files in
http://192.168.0.2:8009/images

I tought that the more specific rule overides the general one
Where do I miss something ?

A: You are basically correct, however missing a subtlety in the use of Options.
First, however, don't just stick them in the NameVirtualHost container, use a Directory Statement...
You are correct that the most specific ones apply, however, if an options statement contains a list of options where every one is prefixed with a + or -, then the options are merged with any existing options...
This means
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

is merged with
Options -ExecCGI -Indexes

to form
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks -ExecCGI

Have a look at the apache documentation http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html
and specifically at the example:

...if the second Options directive uses the + and - symbols:

<Directory /web/docs>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

<Directory /web/docs/spec>
   Options +Includes -Indexes
</Directory>

then the options FollowSymLinks and Includes are set for the /web/docs/spec directory.

Hence, the behaviour Apache is exhibiting with your configuration is correct.
I would just explicitly declare the options for the NameVirtualHost as follows:
<Directory /var/www/html/deve>
  Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes -ExecCGI
</Directory>

Reiki attunement is a beautiful and very mystic process as well. When we attune to Reiki energies, we get connected to the whole of the environment. As we get attuned to the more levels of Reiki, we get into contact with more subtle energies.
According to Wikipedia, " Attunement is taught as a personal spiritual practice and as a healing modality offered through the hands".
Attunement servers believe they transmit universal life energy through their hands to the receiver. The primary connecting points on the receiver are the endocrine glands.
Attunements teach that the endocrine glands are portals for universal life energy that operates through the physical body, and through the mental and emotional function of the individual and that the receiver has the opportunity to open more fully to the life energy within them through receiving an Attunement.
After Karuna Reiki attunement, most of the recipients have observed the presence of higher realms energies like Angels, Archangels, fairies.
Every attunement works on a different level. Reiki Level 1 attunement, works more on physical ailments and cleansing on the physical level.
Reiki Level 2 attunement, works more on the emotional body of our existence and heals any traumatic experience.
Reiki Level 3 attunement, works more on the cellular level and our karmas.
Reiki Master Teacher attunement closely deal with our Soul.
Now, these attunements we receive from our Master Teacher, but once you attuned to Reiki Master Teacher, have you ever been self-attuned to yourself?
Now this subject of Self-Attunement is especially for those who have attuned to Reiki Master and Reiki Master Teacher.
As unless you are attuned to Reiki Master Level, i.e. 3rd attunement, you can not attune others to Reiki.
Many of us, including me, was very new to the concept of Self-attunement some years before. But it instantly clicks me that we can attune ourselves.
After completion of Reiki Master Teacher, we almost forgot that we also need a little bit Reiki Boost! So let's find out about Self- Attunement!
Self Attunement is passing attunement to oneself, just as we pass attunement to others, in self-attunement you pass attunement to yourself!
Self-attunement will help you to boost the Reiki energy within you. The Self-attunement procedure can be understood as, every time when we clean our mirror, we will see a better reflection of yourself and others.
It is very obvious, that in a day to day life, we accumulate garbage in our mind and thoughts, and these turns in to toxins and harm our physical and mental bodies.
If you are practicing Self-Reiki on a regular basis, less you get affected. When we practice Self Reiki daily, many toxins get removed automatically.
In the same way, when you self attunes yourself, your eternal connection with Reiki becomes stronger. At the same time as we have seen above, the attunement process is deeply integrated with our endocrine system.
So with every self-reiki attunement, your entire endocrine system gets a new lease of eternal reiki bathes of higher vibrations which further strengthens the entire endocrine system.
Will Self Reiki Attunement produce the same Reiki Detox effect?
Do You Remember Reiki Detox Effect? Yes when we first attune to Reiki vibrations, our body tends to react in a certain way. As Reiki directly affects our immune and endocrine system, any imbalance, impurities cleansed from our system during and after Reiki Attunements.
That's why it is made compulsory to Reiki 1 attunes, to practice Reiki on 26 Points religiously for 21 days. It helps our system to cleanse of any negativity and absorb the newly gained increased vibrational shifts.
These symptoms can be physical or emotional, like mood swings, fever, cold, flu, nausea, diarrhea and so on but be sure that it will not transform to any serious condition, on the contrary when you practice Reiki on all these 26 points regularly and religiously, these symptoms soon subside.
If you are practicing Reiki on a regular basis, it is very unlikely that you will again go through this detoxification, but it's always better to detox yourself once in a while. You may have to face these symptoms for a day or two, but always better than allowing toxins into your body and making it vulnerable to diseases.
Self attune to which level or symbol?
Once you decide to Self-attune, the next question arises to which level should I attune to myself, since we have completed all the levels, from where to start?
The best answer is to go according to your intuition. Your Higher Self will guide you if you sit in silence for a few minutes and think about it, you will instantly come to know to which level you should to self attune yourself.
If you are not sure, no harm if you start with Reiki Level 1 attunement, otherwise it's best to start from the beginning.
How to Self Attune Oneself?
As we use props for distant attunement, you can use any prop like teddy bear, a pillow, crystals anything which you resonate very deeply, can be used for Self-attunement.
Many also use thigh for giving attunements for the self, imagining knee as head and so on. Whenever in doubt, ask your Higher Self. Do whatever you guided to, your Higher Self will guide you what is best for you.
How many times you should self attune?
There cannot be a fixed answer to this question, as every individual differs and also, need for self attunement.
It is better to self attune yourself at least every month, that way you will always on a vibrational homeostasis.
If you are working with a Reiki Group or even if you have a group of two or three Reiki Masters, you can always exchange Reiki Attunements on a regular basis.
If you don't have any Reiki Master, join Facebook Reiki groups, which facilitate Reiki attunements, and if you want are a Reiki Master who want Reiki Attunement, you are always welcome to join me through my Facebook page Reiki Amazes.
And all of you, who are still not Reiki Masters, you can join me for Free Weekly Reiki Healing Sessions Here.
Self-reiki or giving Reiki to oneself on a daily basis is a must, as we also need to cleanse and energies our system through Reiki energy but it is also important to self- attune once in a while.
Attunements directly work on our immune and endocrine systems, and we all know how important our endocrine system is. If our endocrine system works properly, rest assure our health is in the best of its possible condition. Endocrine glands are the powerhouse of each of our chakra system.
To align all these Chakras, Endocrine systems it is necessary to Self-attune yourself once a while. What's your thoughts on the Self-attunements, would really like to know.
I will be glad if you share your experience with Reiki in the comments below, you can share any of your experience with Reiki, and if you have any questions or suggestion let me know in the comments below.
If you like this article and if you think it will be useful to any of your friends, pl like and share!

The president's conservative rhetoric is missing.
Jesse Walker | 2.1.2006 12:00 AM
It may be foolish to take a politician at his word, but it's illuminating to consider the words he feels obliged to offer. As George W. Bush read his State of the Union address, I kept thinking back to another George Bush and another speech, delivered at the 1988 Republican convention in New Orleans. The two Bushes hit some of the same themes; they even occasionally voiced similar phrases. But they existed in separate rhetorical universes. The elder Bush's speech was conservative in ways that now seem as irretrievable as the city he spoke in. The younger Bush sounded more like Harry Truman than Barry Goldwater.
I'm referring to rhetoric, not to policy. Bush I was widely regarded as a moderate merely pretending to embrace the right, and that's exactly how he went on to govern. Bush II is generally seen as a man more conservative than his father, and while a lot depends on just how you define the word "conservative," you can make a credible case for that thesis. But when the father accepted his party's nomination in 1988—the time when a candidate traditionally stops chasing his party's base and starts reaching out to the middle—he delivered an address that defended the death penalty and attacked abortion, that stuck up for school prayer and put down gun control, that declared: "I respect old-fashioned common sense, and have no great love for the imaginings of social planners. I like what's been tested and found to be true." It was this speech that included these still-famous words:
And there is another tradition. And that is the idea of community—a beautiful word with a big meaning. Though liberal Democrats have an odd view of it. They see "community" as a limited cluster of interest groups, locked in odd conformity. In this view, the country waits passive while Washington sets the rules.
But that's not what community means—not to me.
For we are a nation of communities, of thousands and tens of thousands of ethnic, religious, social, business, labor union, neighborhood, regional, and other organizations, all of them varied, voluntary, and unique.
This is America: the Knights of Columbus, the Grange, Hadassah, the Disabled American Veterans, the Order of Ahepa, the Business and Professional Women of America, the union hall, the Bible study group, LULAC, "Holy Name"—a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky.
A few moments later, H.W. was announcing that public school teachers should be "required" to lead their students in the Pledge of Allegiance, an idea that rests uneasily beside the decentralized voluntarism he had just espoused. But that was a conservative idea, too. Indeed, you could argue that nothing better sums up the modern conservative creed than this careless conflation of the voluntary and the compulsory, the libertarian and the nationalist.
What did W. offer conservatives? There was a reference to "activist courts that try to redefine marriage," which he awkwardly shoehorned into the same sentence that decried a scandal in his own party. There was a short attack on human cloning, which implied but did not forthrightly state a pro-life position on abortion. For pro-market conservatives there were some mild health-care reforms, some already-enacted tax cuts, and a promise to cut the budget by $14 billion. That last item sounds less impressive when you remember, as Stephen Slivinski of the Cato Institute points out, that "In a government that spends $2.7 trillion, a spending cut of this sort amounts to only 0.5% of the entire budget. But it's also not entirely clear that these are going to be real cuts instead of just declines in the rate of spending growth. The president congratulated Congress for passing bills last year that included so-called cuts to non-security discretionary spending. Yet the newly released CBO numbers show that sort of spending grew by at least 4%."
Claiming to cut the budget while it actually grows is hardly an unconservative position. In fact, it might be the clearest sign that the president really has claimed the mantle of Reagan. But fuzzy math aside, the speech was larded with promises of new programs and new spending, among them such dubiously conservative causes as AIDS research and alternative energy.
The elder Bush mentioned energy independence as well, by the way. But when he claimed "there is no security for the United States in further dependence on foreign oil," he was making an argument to give "incentives" to "the domestic energy industry." Most in the audience understood this as a reference to the trade in which he had made his fortune, and not to the purportedly futuristic alternatives now touted by his son.
In short, if you could transmit W.'s domestic rhetoric back to the middle of the century, there would be little there to offend a northeastern Democrat. (The southerners might not like the warm allusions to Martin Luther King.) The brief comments on gay marriage and cloning would sound less like right-wing talking points than like issues from another planet. Even the dismissive reference to people who "say that the government needs to take a larger role in directing the economy" would lose its sting by the end of the speech, after the listener has heard all the ways the president wants the government to take that role after all.
And international issues? Both father and son called for active American leadership and military strength, and both attempted to link the image of an engaged America to the idea of freedom on the march. But in the Reagan era, H.W. was speaking as an anti-Communist arguing with liberal doves. W. consciously framed his foreign-policy pitch as a challenge to "isolationists," harkening back to World War II and the early days of the Cold War. If the result was Reaganesque, it was even more Trumanesque; he came off as an internationalist scolding the anti-warriors of the right. As W. himself put it: "American leaders—from Roosevelt to Truman to Kennedy to Reagan—rejected isolation and retreat, because they knew that America is always more secure when freedom is on the march." Three fourths of that quartet is Democratic, and the Republican remainder was a Democrat himself until 1962.
There is a difference, of course, between a campaign speech and a State of the Union address. But even in office, Bush the First felt the need to talk like a conservative even while he acted like a moderate—denouncing a Democratic civil rights proposal as a "quota bill," for example, before signing legislation that quietly encouraged quotas. Bush the Second reserves his social conservatism for particular issues and particular audiences, preferring to wrap even his most right-wing social initiatives in the warm fuzz of "compassion." In 1988, the vice president of the United States decided that conservative red meat would play well with the electorate. In 2006, his son lacks the courage of his nominal convictions.

F1: Red Bull civil war hands victory to Hamilton and Button
By Andy & LJH
Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button were handed a 1-2 finish in the Turkish Grand Prix after Red Bull's championship-leading rivals Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel tripped over each other fighting for dominance.
McLaren celebrate their somewhat fortuitous 1-2
Webber had led away from the start and Vettel, who had made but failed to sustain an opening lap pass on Hamilton, captured second during the pitstops, but disaster struck on lap 41 of 58 when the increasingly-impatient German sniffed a chance to take the lead.
He attempted a pass on his team-mate at turn 11, gaining a slight advantage but not enough to make the move stick. Replays suggest Vettel then turned in on Webber slightly and the two cars collided, spinning off the track and letting the McLarens through.
Team boss Christian Horner could be seen on the pit wall shouting "move, move" at his TV monitors as the drama unfolded, he and almost the whole of his crew throwing their arms in the air with dismay as the track exploded with flying carbon fibre.
Webber recovered to rejoin the race, with enough of a gap back to fourth-place Michael Schumacher that he was able to pit for a new front wing and still make the podium – but Vettel was out of the contest and dropped from joint first to fifth in the championship as a result.
To make the likely post-mortem even more bitter at Red Bull, a few laps later the two McLaren drivers staged a master-class on how team-mates should fight each other for the lead.
The current and former world champions fought a ruthless but carefully-measured duel that began at turn 12 with Button seizing the advantage, then continued through the final corners and up the start/finish straight before concluding at turn one with Hamilton wresting it back.
Mark Webber holds off Lewis Hamilton in the early stages of the race
After that, Button eased off and conceded the win – both McLaren drivers having been alerted by their garages to a greater-then-anticipated fuel consumption that required them not to do anything too dramatic during the final laps if they wanted to finish the race under their own power.
Earlier a dramatic opening lap had seen battles between Vettel and Hamilton, and between Button and Schumacher but, once the early action had died down, the top eight cars were unchanged from their grid positions.
With no sign that Fernando Alonso had the pace to mount a charge through the field from 12th, and the top four cars well-matched for pace and seemingly in a completely different contest from the rest of the field, a fairly unremarkable race seemed likely.
Hamilton showed signs of wanting to find a way past Webber, but his greater straight line speed was counter-balanced by the Australian's ability to take the long turn eight faster. When a slow pitstop saw him fall behind Vettel, it seemed his hopes for victory were over.
The first warning not to relax came when unexpected rain clouds loomed up around the circuit, with imminent disruption predicted for much of the middle section of the race – although, in the end, there was only a light shower that had no effect on the track conditions.
And then came the two attempts at passing for the lead, by Vettel and by Button, that decided the race – and may yet turn out to have done the same for the drivers' and team championships.
Sebastian Vettel faces the music
Interviewed while the race was still going on, Vettel said: "I'm not very happy now, obviously, after something like this happening. We were all pretty much same conditions, same pace, same speed, and I felt I was able to go faster. I was able to come closer the last two or three laps.
"I dived down the inside, I had the corner, I tried to focus on the braking point and suddenly I lost the car. You can see we touched. I'm not the kind of guy who pushes the fault to one guy. We are a team and we have to respect that. My race is over. Not the best case."
He was greeted sympathetically at the Red Bull pit wall when he arrived back at it, and Webber was careful to avoid incendiary comments in the post-race press conference, where he said: "There was a long way to go in the race so it was not a guaranteed victory."
But he was in no doubt who was responsible for the fateful move: "Seb had good a top speed advantage and he went down the inside. We were side by side and then it looks like he turned pretty quickly to the right and we made contact.
"It definitely happened fast. It's a shame for the team, but not an ideal day. The McLarens were solid today. It was good race between all four of us up until then.
"Neither want to make contact but it can happen sometimes when both are in front. It is never ideal but it happened. I still got a few points, but it was an interesting few metres on track between both of us. It wasn't the result either of us wanted."
Hamilton said: "Red Bull made it tough for us and we put up a good fight. You can see how close it is between the four of us. It's down to momentum, and we will do the best we can to win both championships.
"We have been ragging their tails for some time. It's such an achievement for us, to really be able to take the battle to them. They had one strength that was particularly good here, we had a strength here, and we didn't know how it would pan here.
"Me and Jenson were able to compete with them and push our hardest to be on their tails. To get our second 1-2 is fantastic."
He said he hadn't expected to find Button trying to pass him, as he believed both drivers had been told to take it easy and save fuel: "It was really unexpected but a fair battle with him and a great result for the team."
But Button said: "I got the run down into the Turn 12 on the outside and I had to have a go, really.
"We were wheel to wheel for about five corners, it was good fun. When Lewis got back past into Turn One we were in fuel-save mode. The race was a lot quicker than we thought it would be. We had to save a bit of fuel at the end."

WhatsApp, growing despite backlash, relaxes May 15 policy update deadline
May 10, 2021	/ Uncategorized	/ By admin
It's safe to say WhatsApp didn't have the ideal start to 2021. Less than a week into the new year, the Facebook-owned instant messaging app had already annoyed hundreds of thousands of users with its scary worded notification about a planned policy update. The backlash grew fast and millions of people, including several high-profile figures, started to explore rival apps Signal and Telegram.
Even governments, including India's — WhatsApp's biggest market by users — expressed concerns. (In the case of India, also an antitrust probe.) The backlash prompted WhatsApp to offer a series of clarifications and assurances to users, and it also postponed the deadline for enforcing the planned update by three months. Now with the May 15 deadline just a week away, we are able to quantify the real-world impact the aforementioned backlash had on WhatsApp's user base: Nada.
The vast majority of users that WhatsApp has notified about the planned update in recent months have accepted the update, a WhatsApp spokesperson told TechCrunch. And the app continues to grow, added the spokesperson without sharing the exact figures. The company also didn't share how many users it has notified about the planned update.
Facebook's recent earnings call gives us some idea: The company's family of apps had 3.45 billion monthly active users as of March 31, 2021, up from 3.3 billion on December 31 and 3.21 billion on September 30.
Clarification on May 15 deadline
Image: WhatsApp
WhatsApp, which has spent the past several months, explaining to users the planned terms and privacy policy update, has reiterated what happens to users who don't agree to the new terms by May 15.
Users who don't agree to the new terms won't lose access to their accounts or any feature on May 15, WhatsApp said. But after an unspecified number of weeks, such users will begin to lose several core functionalities. (At one time earlier this year, the wording on the FAQ page from WhatsApp had suggested that users will lose functionalities immediately after May 15, though it had clarified later that such restriction would go into effect after an unspecified number of weeks.)
WhatsApp has also clarified that there is no specific date when such users will start to lose — or otherwise face restrictions with accessing — any functionalities. It said the restriction will "not happen to all users at the same time."
"We'll continue to provide reminders to those users within WhatsApp in the weeks to come," the spokesperson added.
Since 2016, WhatsApp's privacy policies have granted the service permission to share with Facebook certain metadata such as user phone numbers and device information.
The new terms allow Facebook and WhatsApp to share payment and transaction data as the social juggernaut broadens its e-commerce offerings and looks to merge its messaging platforms.
This story was updated with additional context.

Pulitzer to Clybourne Park
Good news! The Pulitzer Board this year decided that: a) an award in drama would be appropriate, and b) that one of their selected jury's recommendations was worth taking! (If you recall, the latter was not the case last year...)
The winner is Clybourne Park by Bruce Norris. Runners up were Lisa D'Amour's Detroit and John Guare's A Free Man of Color.
Having not seen or read Clybourne Park, I can't comment on how deserving it is of the award. What I can say objectively, as an analyst, is that this is another big win for Chicago theatre (after August: Osage County's recent win, as well as last year's Ruined, which premiered at the Goodman) and an award that will put playwright Bruce Norris on the map in a bigger way, perhaps beyond what have been his two home bases, Steppenwolf and Playwrights Horizons.
I'll also back off from saying more given I know too members of the jury very well: LA Weekly critic (and sometime Playgoer guest-blogger) Steven Leigh Morris and CUNY Professor David Savran.
And given that Dr. Savran happens to be sitting on my dissertation committee I think it would be not only unethical but downright stupid not to recuse myself, don't you?
Full jury was:
Peter Marks, drama critic, The Washington Post (Chair)
Chris Jones, drama critic, Chicago Tribune
David Savran, distinguished professor of theater, CUNY Graduate Center
Lynn Nottage, playwright, New York City
Steven Leigh Morris, critic-at-large, LA Weekly
Anyway, I may have little to say about this but I'm sure some of you have lots! Tell us what you think of the selections. Any overlooked titles you would have championed? Remember that eligibility entailed a major US professional production during the 2010 calendar year.

I saw Clybourne Park at Playwrights Horizons last year. It was well done and its themes of white flight and gentrification definitely at least get it into the Pulitzer ballpark.
But while the subject matter was good, some of the stage business got awkward. The present day second act wasn't entirely satisfying, nor was it well-connected to the first act. The explosions set off by racist remarks were much hammier in the present than they were in the past.
Looking through my calendar for 2010, the only major-league play I enjoyed more was Equivocation at MTC, which was kind of a Shakespeare in Love meets The Pillowman fun, pulpy romp. But though playwright Bill Cain is American, Equivocation doesn't come close to the Pulitzer requirement of "dealing with American life".
Saw the recent production at SF's A.C.T. and when I heard the Pulitzer news, my first thought was 'oh, great!' I think the first act is fantastic, and the second act really speaks about where we are right now. My big beef w/the ACT production was that the generally white liberal self-congratulatory audience completely missed that they were the ones being skewered by act two - the biggest moment of applause was when the white guy says he's offended by seeing 'we support our troops' and yellow ribbons on the back of SUVs. More urban people of all stripes need to read and see and talk about this play with each other, hoping the Pulitzer will make that happen
