Bordered by Tibet in the north, Himachal Pradesh in the west, Nepal in east and Gangetic plains in the south, Uttarakhand seems to be the jewel in the crown of India's territories. Being the originating point of significant Indian rivers, Uttarakhand seems to be one of the best hill station in the region of North India. Not just this, the place can be visited any time of the year and doesn't require the traveller to mark the calendar. While the winters will offer you the best views of snow packed mountain tops, the same mountains become heavenly peaceful and calm for scorching summers of india.
Uttarakhand Tour Package continues to be one of the favourites for most travellers as it gives one a lot of options to pick from. With more than 50 places to explore, anyone going to Uttarakhand can spend good time with so much too see and discover. In this post we will be mentioning 4 major hill stations from Uttarakhand that you must not skip while visiting at any cost!
The first place to be mentioned when speaking of Uttarakhand Tour Package has to be Rishikesh. A city in India's northeastern state, in the Himalayan foothills beside the Ganges River.It is also seen as a gateway to the Chota Char Dham pilgrimage sites of Kedarnath, Gangotri, Badrinath and Yamunotri. As an important pilgrimage center, life in Rishikesh revolves around prayers and festivals that will calm and bring peace to one and all. People come here for cleansing of their mind and soul and spend their time in meditation and offering prayers. Also, it is a popular spot for white water rafting enthusiasts. Though the weather remains pleasant throughout the year, it's be great to visit this place in between the months of March to November.
The next mention in the Uttarakhand Tour Package is of Kanatal. A small village in the state of Uttrakhand. It is 78 km from Dehradun,38 km from Mussoorie and 12 km from Chamaand this journey will be give you immense pleasure of scenic beauty with a view of snow-covered hills. Kanatal is a charming place in between the dense forests of Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. This wonderful getaway is located 8500Ft above sea level. Like other hill stations of the state, this place is also blessed with the beauty of nature in its full bloom. But what separates it from other known names is its untouched beauty and intact rustic appeal.
The next stop is Jim Corbett Park. A forested wildlife sanctuary in northern India's Uttarakhand State. Rich in flora and fauna, it's known for its Bengal tigers. This famous wildlife holiday hotspot in Uttarakhand is a gem for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. This park is located in the Nainital district of Uttarakhand and it is the First Tiger Reserve in India. Something most people would not know is that, during the year 1936 Corbett National Park was formally known as Hailey National Park. Corbett is an exhilarating wildlife destination. Beautifully occupied by lush green hills, reverie belts, waterholes and grasslands, Corbett makes an ultimate animal kingdom and a picture perfect habitat for wild animals. Not just travelers, wildlife photographers happen to visit Corbett to add feathers in their cap as the place gives them a lot of opportunities to capture wildlife in its rawest form. Corbett Tiger Reserve is perhaps one of the most sought-after destination to visit and to catch a glimpse of the endangered Bengal Tiger. There are also a few religious places like the famed Garjia Temple that one can pay homage. Corbett Falls and Corbett Museum are yet the other two distinct tourist attractions around the park.
– Night Safari and Night Camping in Mussoorie Wild life (Bird) sanctuary is the first of its kind in India.

Cuba: Brain Drain and Naive Youth
Fernando Ravsberg*
Cuban young people have very little decision making power. Photo: Raquel Perez
HAVANA TIMES — In a recent interview, the Cuban-American writer Uva de Aragon told me that the emigration of thousands of intelligent young Cubans does not constitute "brain drain," but their "escape" in search of better opportunities in other countries.
The concept is controversial, even more so when it comes to a nation (Cuba) against which enormous economic restrictions are being applied (by the US) for the express purpose of "causing hunger and desperation" among its people, while at the same time the world's greatest power offers residency.
Yet beyond the differences of opinion, the fact is that every year tens of thousands of young people leave the country by different routes, and many of them are scientists, doctors, athletes, engineers and architects – all trained by Cuba.
I know this because I have two "migration-age" children and many of their friends are already abroad. Most of them came out of the V. I. Lenin High School, an institution where supposedly some of the best talent in the country studies.
And this involves more than their academic training, since the youth at this school are also considered to be especially loyal to the ideology of the revolution. It was expected that the men and women who would lead Cuba in the future would be trained there.
It's true that the rate and volume of Cuban emigration is not the highest in Latin America, as some would have us believe using inflated figures. However, it does has the characteristic of being composed of those people who are the best trained – from technicians to university graduates.
They leave because they are the ones who earn the least, those who have to live on a salary of $17 USD per month and don't have the opportunity to do additional work. They are unable to start up a business of their own or pilfer something from their job and resell it on the street.
But money isn't the only reason. Recently I was interviewed by a Cuban journalist about the characteristics of the youth of the island, something that forced me to collect information. I had to seek out young people and talk to them about what they thought and how they felt.
I discovered that some of them leave the country because they have the feeling that they're living in a country that isn't their own. They feel like they're boarders in a strange house where the rules of conduct are imposed by their grandparents, seniors who for any discrepancy will remind them about everything they owe them.
Plus they're tired. Gays are weary of waiting for years for parliament to decide to recognize their rights, just as young scientists doing their PhD work abroad are confronted with laws that only allow them to take their spouses and female children abroad if they leave permanently.
Quino asked that young people be allowed to invent their youth. Photo: Raquel Perez
There are things as basic as male medical students having to cut their hair when university authorities consider it too long due to supposed "health concerns" – though these doesn't apply to women or foreign students.
Surprisingly, this is happening during the government of Raul Castro, the young guerrilla who came down from the Sierra Maestra Mountains with shoulder-length hair, something that was not imposed by the rebel forces even though many of his comrades-in-arms wore their hair much shorter.
I remember when some college students argued for class attendance not to be mandatory, putting the whole apparatus of the Ministry of Higher Education up in arms, with them even threatening the journalist who did a story on the issue.
It's true that in the end the youth organizations are the entities that make the decisions, but this is only a mirage because often these bodies — instead of representing their members — are mere tools for imposing policies, rules and regulations.
Of course young people want to earn wages that allow them to have fun, dress nicely and think about starting a family and living independently, but they also aspire to build a nation where everything isn't already etched in stone and where their opinions count.
A young communist told me that he's sick of his ideas being flung back in his face with no other argument than a condescending "don't be so naive," as if all the wisdom of Cuba were in the hands of older people.
Prejudice is neither new nor exclusively Cuban. In the 19th century, the German poet Friedrich Hebbel recognized that young people often think the world began with them, but he immediately warned that old people think even more often that the world ends with them.
"I don't understand what the fear is all about," said one university student. "We're the same age as our leaders were when they took power. It's true that we'll make mistakes, but it's our right, just like they screwed up from time to time."
They are accused of being too naive and immature, but such "defects" can only be cured with "practice," giving them the power to make decisions over their own lives and actively participating in the design of a nation that — after all — will inevitably end up in their hands.

The author may be right when he says: " It's true that the rate and volume of Cuban emigration is not the highest in Latin America", but what is certainly correct is that Cuba is the only country in Latin America that has extremely repressive laws concerning the right to travel.
"Illegal exit" or "salida ilegal", attempting to leave the country without a government exit visa, is punishable by years of imprisonment.
The law is put in place to ensure that " the rate and volume of Cuban emigration is not the highest in Latin America".
http://salidailegal.impela.net/
The tragedy is in the notion that in Cuba young people must choose between loyalty to their country or loyalty to personal improvement. Young Americans also dream of a life abroad. The richness of European culture or the adventure of life in South America seduces many a young American to pack up and leave . This dreams, when realized, do not come with the label "traicon de la patria" or being called a "gusano". Indeed, if things don't work out, they return to the 'States better off for the experience and bring fresh ideas and life choices with them. I absoulutely agree with many of the comments posted here that posit that when Cubans are allowed to travel more freely, they will see Cuba from a far more enlightened perspective and be better able to judge for themselves what the Revolution has really accomplished and what it has not. Cuba, as a whole, will be better off for it.
I suspect that should the Cuban government decide to open up travel restrictions abroad for its nationals, Cuba will surely have one of the highest migration rates in the Americas. There are just not enough viable opportunities for young people in the country right now – with emphasis on viable.

RumbleBee.org - The Dodge Ram Rumble Bee Owner Community :: View topic - SRT 10 style boz?
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 8:39 pm Post subject: SRT 10 style boz?
I saw an SRT10 with a stock sub, awesome location? Made me wonder, is there an aftermarket style box that is anything like this? Or, does it sound anywhere near as good as it looks?
Or, whats the best box I can get for my GTX, 1500, reg cab.
I was able to get a 12" MTX skinny sub right behind the driver's seat. I'm not going to suggest it's the greatest sub ever but it pumps, especially withthe right amp etc. There are probably others but was able to get the sub, 400 watt JL amp, and install for under $400. I also added speakers and Head unit which also makes a considerable difference v stock unit. Good luck.
Second Swarm 1893 saved from the salvage pool and now better than ever!! SRT 10 front end, 22" factory SRT 10 rims on 305/40/22's, Mopar CAI, Superchip 3950 Cortex programmer, Dan the Fastman 85MM TB, SRT pillar pod w/ Mopar Oil Pres gauge, 305s Alpine head unit, 12" MTX sub, JL audio amp, tint, custom floor mats, 71 Super Bee tribute paint scheme on hood, Mobil 1, and Shell 93 (since they sponsor Dodge), 180 degree Jet thermostat, Katzkin seats, custom 345 hemi badges.
I have two JL W3 12's in a sealed box behind the seats of my bee, and I love it.
I have a brand new kicker 12" sub, and a skinny truck mount box behind the passenger seat, all my passengers laugh there butts off at how much it vibrates there seat..... I just noticed the SRT10 box, and how it puts the speaker behind the center of the seat, and figured it'd give me more space, and push more sound right out to the cab of the truck..
Old thread I know but you can sometimes find the SRT boxes for sale. They only hold a 10" and have limited airspace but are a clean look.
I have one that I had a JL10W6V2 in but had to use a pair of 3/4" spacers to make it fit. Since then I have build a custom box with the proper air space that sits behind the passenger seat.

Emboldened by Trump, Netanyahu pledges annexation move

Benjamin Netanyahu's pledge to begin annexing parts of the West Bank reveals the Israeli prime minister's increasingly desperate fight to win over right-wing voters ahead of elections, as well as his belief that the Trump administration would back even his most radical moves, experts said.
"Netanyahu wouldn't have dared to say what he did during the Obama, Clinton and Bush administrations," said Fawaz Gerges, a professor of Middle Eastern politics at the London School of Economics. "Trump is a godsend as an American president for Netanyahu and the Israeli far-right."
An embattled Netanyahu announced Tuesday that if he is re-elected he would "immediately" extend sovereignty over the Jordan Valley, an agriculturally-rich area that runs along the easternmost part of the Israeli-occupied West Bank near the border with Jordan. He made the same pledge in April.

He would then attempt to annex other Jewish settlements in the hotly-contested region that was captured by Israel from Jordan in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
The West Bank is home to almost 3 million Palestinians and more than 400,000 Israelis, according to figures collated by Peace Now, an Israeli organization that advocates a two-state solution.
The prime minister described the Trump's administration's long-awaited Israeli-Palestinian peace planas a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to annex territory in the West Bank and sought to persuade voters that only he could deliver the pledge due to his close personal relationship with the president.
"We have not had such an opportunity since the Six Day War and doubt it will be for the next fifty years," said Netanyahu, referring to the 1967 Arab-Israeli war in which Israel captured the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza and the Syrian Golan Heights.
Since assuming office President Donald Trump has moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Syrian Golan Heights, prompting the Palestinians to sever ties with the administration. And U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman — who has ties to the right-wing settler movement — reportedlyindicated earlier this year that Israel has the right to annex at least some of the West Bank.
"This is entirely being done because he's not being stopped," said Diana Buttu, a former adviser to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and an Israeli citizen. "This time the U.S. administration is not a deterrent but is just a green light."
Israel's government informed the U.S. beforehand about Netanyahu's announcement and does not believe that it rules out an Israeli-Palestinian political settlement, a Trump administration official told NBC News on Tuesday.
The official added that the U.S. was not changing its policy toward the West Bank at this time.
Most of the international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law and an impediment to a two-state solution to the conflict.
Gerges said the threat of annexation should be taken seriously.
"The Trump factor is very significant because Netanyahu is trying to use this unique moment in order to hammer a deadly nail in the coffin of a Palestinian state," he said.
But other experts downplayed the significance of Netanyahu's announcement stressing that it was an election promise that may well not be delivered and that the prime minister has previously made similar vows to annex parts of the West Bank.
But most agreed that it revealed a politician desperate to save his own skin who had seized the space given to him by a U.S. administration that is sympathetic to the Israeli right wing, as well as a region distracted by other developments to try to win over voters.
The country is heading to the polls on Sept. 17 after its parliament was dissolved after an April vote in which Netanyahu failed to cobble together a government.

"It's election season, a lot can get said and he doesn't lose anything, he's not under pressure from the U.S. it's a very permissive administration," said Michael Stephens, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based think tank.
"It's good a regional climate as well as a lot of gulf Arabs are distracted with instability within themselves or Iran or Yemen, they don't really have the energy to dedicate toward the Palestinian issue especially if it hurts their relationship with the U.S.," he added.
For Netanyahu, forming the next government represents more than just electoral success. The prime minister is bracing for expected criminal charges in a corruption case, although if he wins he hopes to pass legislation that would grant him immunity.
"This is a prime minister that is fighting not only for his political life but a life outside court and potentially outside jail," said Yossi Mekelberg, a professor of international relations at Regent's University, London.
Netanyahu's Likud party is being squeezed on the right and the left and is currently running neck-and-neck in the polls with the newly formed Blue and White party. Haaretz newspaper's poll of polls suggests that Netanyahu's Likud party is on course to win 32 seats in the 120-seat Israeli parliament, three fewer than he won in April.
He needs to command 61 seats to form a governing coalition — in Israel's parliamentary system no party has ever commanded a majority.
Chuck Freilich, a former deputy Israeli national security adviser, said the annexation announcement was one in a series of election giveaways that were aimed at winning over right-wing voters.
"This is a prime minister who is going all out, taking all possible measures to save himself," he said. "For Israel this is one of the gravest constitutional crisis it's ever faced."

BROOKINGS, Ore. —
Those who live in Brookings call it a secret, but it's one they'll gladly share.
"I have a lot of friends who live in the Rogue Valley and they split their time between the mountains and the ocean. I can imagine when you guys wake up, you can take a look at the weather and decide which direction to go," Greg Williams says about the weather.
Williams is with the Brookings Harbor Chamber of Commerce. He says right now, in winter, is a perfect time for a visit to his city.
He says there are several restaurants that aren't chains and the city takes on a quiet feel now that summer is over.
"A lot of times in December and January, we'll have temperatures sometimes in the 80s and days like this. I mean we have rain, but we also have days like this, clear skies and wonderful fresh air to just go out into joy. The fishing is phenomenal here, you have two rivers to choose from, three really if you go into California. And of course, the ocean, which I have to admit, I do spend a little time on myself," Williams says.
For Frank Moulton, it's a bit of a slow period. He's a captain for Tidewinds Sport Fishing.
"Generally during the year, we sport fish during the summer and most of the Tidewinds crew goes commercial crabbing during the winter," Moulton says.
Currently, the Food and Drug Administration has closed commercial crabbing due to the high levels of domoic acid found in crabs.
"Right now, it's mostly weather that's holding us off and not having clientele and we're just in between in seasons. So, there's not a lot going on right now and the guys are getting the commercial crabbing pots to go commercial crabbing."

Professors Angela Schoellig (UTIAS) and Piero Triverio (ECE) have been awarded new and renewed Canada Research Chairs (CRC), respectively, by the Canadian federal government. The announcement was made by The Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Sport, at the University of Toronto's St. George Campus.
"The chairholders we are celebrating today are leaders who are improving our depth of knowledge, strengthening Canada's social fabric and helping to train the next generation of researchers," said Duncan. "People like Professor Angela Schoellig, whose impressive robotics work we are shining a spotlight on today."
Schoellig, who was named the Canada Research Chair in Machine Learning for Robotics and Control, brought along several types of flying robots — also known as drones — to showcase to Duncan and other attendees. "I'm very honoured to receive this recognition, which will enable me and my team to do fundamental research at the intersection of machine learning, artificial intelligence and robotics," she said. "We hope to use machine learning to make robots more capable and safer, to be used to advance our society."
As the head of U of T Engineering's Dynamic Systems Lab and associate director of the Centre for Aerial Robotics Research and Education (CARRE), Schoellig conducts research combining robotics, controls and machine learning. Her goals include enhancing the performance and autonomy of robots by enabling them to learn from past experiments and from each other. She was also recently named a Vector Institute Faculty Affiliate, an initiative that brings together leading researchers in deep learning, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) from across Ontario.
Triverio is the Canada Research Chair in Computational Electromagnetics. His team builds mathematical models and algorithms that can address a wide range of challenges. For example, their models are used to design the networks that deliver electricity to cities, ensuring that they are resilient against power surges caused by lightning or faults. The team also uses models to prevent interference and optimize the exchange of information in electronic products such as smartphones and graphics accelerator chips. Recently, they have applied their models to the study of blood flow in diseased arteries in order to seek improved treatments.
Schoellig and Triverio are among 21 new and renewed chairholders across U of T. In addition to celebrating the latest CRCs, Duncan also announced additional funding of $210 million across Canada to support new research, early-career researchers and diversity in the CRC program.
U of T has the largest number of Canada Research Chairs of any university in the country. Today's announcement of funding and additional funding from the federal government both supports leading research and helps the university attract and retain the best and most promising researchers from around the world. In addition to conducting research that advances knowledge and improves quality of life, the University's Canada Research Chairs significantly enhance its capacity to train the next generation of leaders in their fields through student supervision and teaching.

Jana Kramer Puts Country Radio on Blast, But Did She Get Her Facts Accurate?
by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | April 21, 2017
Jana Kramer put country radio on blast in a Twitter post on April 19, claiming RaeLynn's "Love Triangle" has outsold the past two No. 1 songs, despite struggling on the charts.
Let's take a look at Jana's post below . . . and then dissect it for accuracy.
Love Triangle by @RaeLynn sold more than the last 2 songs that went #1 but yet struggled on charts. Why? Wait let me guess #girl #whattheFK
— Jana Kramer (@kramergirl) April 19, 2017
First of all, RaeLynn's "Love Triangle," which dropped in August 2016, peaked at No. 26 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart before being removed from the chart last month. The song is currently still on the Mediabase chart at No. 28.
According to Nielsen Music, "Love Triangle" has sold 153,088 units as of April 19.
As far as "the past two No. 1s" Jana was referencing in her Twitter post? On both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase charts, the past two No. 1 songs were Lauren Alaina's "Road Less Traveled" and Jason Aldean's "Any Ol' Barstool."
According to Nielsen, "Any Ol' Barstool"—released in December 2016—has sold 147,892 units as of April 19, which is 5,196 units less than "Love Triangle." Jana was correct in this instance.
However, "Lauren Alaina's "Road Less Traveled"—released in July 2016—has sold 203,524 units as of April 19, which is 50,436 units more than "Love Triangle." Jana was incorrect in this instance.
"Road Less Traveled" (Lauren Alaina): 203,524 units sold
"Love Triangle" (RaeLynn): 153,088 units sold
"Any Ol' Barstool" (Jason Aldean): 147,892 units sold
Just for good measure, I took a look at Sam Hunt's "Body Like a Back Road," which has been No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart for the last 10 weeks. According to Nielsen, "Body Like a Back Road" has sold 730,723 units as of April 19, which is 577,635 more units than "Love Triangle."
Unless Jana was looking at different sales figures (Apple's sales figures are consistent with Nielsen's aforementioned numbers) or she was referencing a different chart, her Twitter post is inaccurate.
Obviously, Jana's post was more about bringing to light the discrepancy in the number of female artists currently represented on the charts. In the instance of Billboard's Country Airplay chart, currently only six female solo artists have songs in the Top 60: Kelsea Ballerini, Lauren Alaina, Maren Morris, Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire and Carly Pearce.

(AllHipHop News) Last week, G-Unit stopped by SiriusXM studios to preview their Beauty of Independence EP and reveal secrets of their past. In the hour long interview G-Unit speaks on the infamous taped crying Young Buck conversation, the new EP and more.
Bit*h nigg*s do bit*h thangs/ Look at 50, what he do just to get fame/ Record my phone call when I spoke from the heart/ That was a year ago, this was a joke from the start/ You a ho, I know/ The only people that record conversations is 5-0.
Honestly, to this day, I never felt no emotion or nothing bad. I think people took the part out of the conversation where I became emotional and made as if 'oh, Buck's crying. ' I've always looked at these as my brothers and at the time and everything I was speaking during that conversation was real.
"0 To 100", I got Drake to send it. [Laughs]. I called him. The record came out, I was like 'send me that record. I need that.' He sent it and then we chopped it up. That's why we didn't take him off it. We kept him on the record. So when you play it, you're still playing a version of Drake's record.
