Here are some of interesting articles on the gold suppression by central banks. My feeling is that major bullion banks have been trapped on in an enormous position on the short side of gold since 1999, and that the US has been willing to do anything to keep that gold carry trade from unwinding and destroying the US financial system (thereby the dollar too).
Golden Sextant reports about central banks at the abyss.
Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Bundesbank President Axel Weber comments on the central bank's plans for its gold reserves. Weber, who didn't comment on monetary policy, was speaking to reporters in Paris. ``We are not envisaging gold sales for the third year'' of the current agreement with other central banks, Weber said. ``We have been asked to negotiate with other central banks'' about potential swap deal involving gold. He refused to discuss which central banks may be interested.
Business Wire reports that Russian Central Banker Cites GATA and says gold market may be less than free.
MANCHESTER, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 4, 2004--Movements in the price of gold are sometimes "so enigmatic" and central banks and bullion banks are so involved with it that the gold market may be less than free, the deputy chairman of the Bank of Russia says in a speech obtained by the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee.
In his speech to the LBMA, Mozhaiskov cited GATA's work at length, and while not formally endorsing it, he showed that the Bank of Russia has been following it closely and knows that much more has been going on in the gold market than is widely acknowledged. Likening the central bank to a giraffe, Mozhaiskov quoted a poem well-known in Russia: "The giraffe is tall, and he sees all."
The central banker acknowledged that the great increase in the use of derivatives and central bank leasing of gold have depressed its price in recent years.
Gold-Eagle reports about the Fed possibly writing call options.
My commentary of September 20, 1999, suggested the possibility that the Bank of England's gold sales were triggered by a plea from Washington aimed at rescuing the Fed from potential big losses on the writing of gold call options. Nothing that has happened since is inconsistent with this suggestion, and what new evidence there is supports it.
This provision, included in the original Federal Reserve Act (Dec. 23, 1913, c. 6, s. 14(a), 38 Stat. 264), has remained unchanged and in force ever since. While it does not specifically mention writing call options, the broad grant of authority "to deal" in gold and to make or receive gold loans can readily be construed to include writing or purchasing options.
This authority, it should be noted, addresses only what the Fed can do for its own account. It has nothing whatever to do with buying, selling or otherwise dealing with the official gold reserves of the United States, which are under the control of the Secretary of the Treasury acting with the approval of the President. 31 U.S.C. ss. 5116-5118. Whether the Fed's authority to deal in gold for its own account may in some respects be limited by other statutes is a question that I will leave to others, but under s. 6a(d) the Commodity Futures Trading Act, any transactions for its account are expressly exempt from trading or position limits.
Testifying in July 1998 before the House Banking Committee looking into the regulation of over-the-counter derivatives, Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan distinguished financial derivatives from agricultural derivatives, saying that it would be impossible to corner a market in financial futures where the underlying asset (e.g., a paper currency) is of unlimited supply. The same point, he continued, also applied to certain commodity derivatives where the supply was also very large, such as oil.
Greenspan further volunteered: "Nor can private counterparties restrict supplies of gold, another commodity whose derivatives are often traded over-the-counter, where central banks stand ready to lease gold in increasing quantities should the price rise." In other words, the Fed Chairman opposed any action by Congress aimed at greater regulation of over-the-counter derivatives, specifically including gold derivatives. One reason -- left unstated -- for this opposition may well have been concern that any new legislation might interfere with the Fed's own activities in the derivatives markets, particularly in the gold area.
Why might the Fed have engaged in writing call options on gold? Their immediate purpose and effect would be to facilitate gold leasing by enabling the bullion banks to hedge more easily short positions resulting from the sale of leased gold. Indeed, as the so-called gold carry trade grew, demand for this sort of hedging by bullion banks likely strengthened since here, unlike in mining finance, their customers were not themselves producers of gold. More generally, by thus exercising control over the amount of leasing and resulting short sales, the Fed could have achieved considerable influence over the gold price. Indeed, perhaps it was just this kind of activity that led a former Fed governor to claim on CNN's Moneyline in October 1998: "The Fed has precise control over the price of gold and therefore over commodities such as crude oil. No inflation, therefore no need to raise rates." Emphasis supplied.
safehaven reports about the US borrowing from the Bank of England.
"Under a gold location swap, gold stored in a particular physical location is swapped with a market counterparty for specified period with gold stored in another physical location. Under a gold quality swap, gold of a particular quality [fineness] is swapped with a market counterparty for a specified period with gold of different fineness. In each case a fee is built into the transaction."
This is a "real smoking gun" find by Rob Kirby. I believe the only possible counterparty for such type of "quality" swaps would be the US Treasury (the US Treasury officially owns the US gold stock not the Federal Reserve). Searching around I found the following on the goldensextant website.
In the course of thus far unsuccessful efforts to obtain details from the Bundesbank on its gold reserves and any gold swaps it has with the United States, one of GATA's German supporters came across some interesting but mostly forgotten details on U.S. gold reserves. Professor Antony C. Sutton in The War on Gold ('76 Press, 1978), pp. 114-116, described an unaudited report by the U.S. Mint detailing the composition of U.S. gold reserves as of November 30, 1973. It showed that of then total 255 million ounces, 206 million consisted of 400 oz. bars of a fineness between .890 and .916 with almost another million ounces having a fineness between .917 and .994. Thus, at that time, more than 80% of the total U.S. gold stock did not meet the standard good delivery requirement of .995 or better.
One of the other projects NCMR [National Committee for Monetary Reform] got involved with was to ask for an auditing of the Fort Knox gold. There was great resistance at first, but finally the Treasury listed the actual number of gold bars, their size and purity. Until then the Treasury had been claiming that we had 264 million ounces of gold in reserve, and that it was made up mostly of .995 to .999 pure bars. What we found was that it was almost entirely made up of melted gold coins from the 1930s at .917 (22-karat) purity.
As far as I know the US is the ONLY holder of "official" gold that does not meet "good for delivery" quality. There are two reasons why the US must swap this gold to sell into the market. First of all if 400 oz bars show up of less than 0.995 fineness there is o nly one possible source and so the market would know about it and the gold price suppression scheme would be toast. Secondly, the world's gold refineries are working day and night. There is no spare capacity to be able to reprocess US goldstock. But the real point of interest is the fact that this swap agreement format exists means that the US is using its gold (indirectly) to hold down the price. This means that the Cabal is hitting the wall in terms of available supply. It also puts in context the comment by Axel Weber of the Bundesbank that they were "being asked to enter into gold swap arrangements".
Financial Sense reports about a very scary idea concerning US DEEP GOLD.
I've been thinking the concept of "gold quality swaps" over and over again in my mind. At first, my belief was that the U.S. had only categorically done "gold quality swaps" with the Bank of England — only because the Bank of England is the only Central Bank that officially acknowledges they have such trades on their books.
That they do is now matter of historical fact.
But now, my thinking has changed.
I now believe that gold quality swaps were, perhaps also, conducted with the Bundesbank around the year 2000.
I now feel that "Quality Gold Swaps" were "coined" [pun intended] or invented for a darker reason.
My thinking is now that fine "deliverable" gold from the Bundesbank was perhaps "swapped" for "DEEP GOLD".
After all, DEEP GOLD is only gold of a different "fineness" — isn't it?
Quality Gold Swaps by the U.S. with Central Banks around the world would — utilizing DEEP GOLD [gold in the ground] - would go a long way — perhaps a better explanation - to explaining why the gold price suppression has been able to be extended for such a long period of time.
It would also provide a "fuller explanation" as to why the Central Banks are so opaque when it comes to double-counting "swapped gold" visa vie "gold in the vault".
Now, ask yourself why "good delivery bar" smelters of gold in the U.S.A. are dropping like flies since the late 90's to the turn of the millennium in the wake of domestic U.S. Gold production [as a percentage of world production] and absolute number of ounces per year are ramping up?
World production is 49.3Moz, up 25% from 1980.
South Africa is flat at 21.6Moz.
Canada, the US, and Australia produce 2.8, 2.4, and 1.9Moz, respectively.
China produces 2Moz and releases a gold bullion coin - the Panda in 1982.
Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Columbia each produce over 1Moz.
Technology (heap leaching) has changed mining, forever.
The U.S.S.R is breaking up, so the United States with 9.5Moz production will soon become the world's #2 producer.
Canada produces 5.4Moz, peaks at 5.7Moz in 1991, then drifts down to current levels of 5Moz/yr.
World production hits 72.3Moz, but South Africa produces only 16.8Moz.
Chile, Ghana, Peru, and Indonesia each produce about 2.0Moz, versus about .5Moz in 1990.
Production in the United States, Australia, Canada dips slightly, with China up.
The trend toward worldwide industry diversification continues, with the top 5 countries now accounting for just over 50% of world production.
I would offer that all of the Coin Melt has already been reprocessed. Smelters are shutting down. The LBMA confirms this. Swaps are now being conducted for DEEP GOLD still in the ground.
US ability to process gold bullion is dropping — this is a fact.
The notion that the U.S. has no more gold [all reprocessed and swapped / leased or sold] and is now conducting swaps for "DEEP GOLD" is also highly consistent with — or at least provides a credible reason for — both Rothschild and AIG exiting the gold market in April/May 04 and June 04 respectively. They knew the basis of the physical game was "over".
You see, the offices of the Senior Vice President of Operations - NYMEX — is exactly where you would go to find the records [serial number and smelter of origin] for EVERY GOLD BAR ever PHYSICALLY settled on the exchange. They are required to keep these records. These precise records would show the lineage of all the physical gold settled on the exchange and hence "prove" that the amount of gold in question could not have possibly come from the U.S. mining operations — because the amounts in question coming from U.S. smelters would undoubtedly be vastly bigger than domestic mine production.
We never have found out what happened to poor ole Stuart Smith — after his offices were "raided" — he took administrative leave from the NYMEX and he has never been heard from since. Amazingly [or perhaps not], there has also been ZERO follow up on in the media on the original story as well as ZERO developments stem ming from D.A. Morgenthau's office who executed the search warrant.
There is now absolutely no doubt in my mind that these events are connected.
If this un-mined gold has been used as collateral for the swaps of good delivery bars with other central banks, and then sold it to cap the gold price; then as a corollary of this - the un-mined gold is the property of the Treasury Dept. even though Barrick Gold and others are presently mining the deposits.
If my supposition is correct, gold mines in the United States will be expropriated should the USD implode. If gold mines are expropriated in the US, the so-called center of free market philosophy, what chance have gold share owners elsewhere in the world of "cashing in" on the gold price explosion?
This is why you all need to "own" physical gold and silver — bars and / or coins.
My reaction: Whether it is because of "Deep Gold" or naked call options, I believe the fed has taken a large short position against gold in its desperate attempt to save idiotic financial institutions (ie: JPMorgan) who got trapped on the short side of gold at the end of the 1990s.
I also believe that we are at the very tail end of this desperate cover up. Within a month or two at the latest, physical shortages of gold are going to cause something to break: either a default on the COMEX, or a failure of a gold producer to roll forwards its hedges, or something else. When this even occurs, all forms of paper gold will collapse and things will get really interesting.

First congrats to you. Jim Sinclair has just linked to your fine article on 10 threats to Dollar.
Having said that, I think you are erring in this article in predicting the demise of the paper gold market in 2 months !! As per your own research most of the ETFs are run by bullion banks. And all the money that is pouring into these paper funds will be used to acquire physical gold in case they are called upon to deliver it elsewhere on their short positions.
I think the odds are great that the paper game will continue to suppress physical metal prices for a long time (atleast another year).
Until people stop investing in paper gold backed ETFs; or Until Central Banks of China, Saudi start buying physical gold in earnest (Russia is already doing this) and beggar the amount flowing into GLD/SLV.
However, the possible gov't sequestration of mines/assets is a worrying development.
I have stated in other forums that I believe the PTB will do ANYTHING to ensure the survival of their Fiat system.
And politicians will sell their mother for cents.
This is their power base,their launch vehicle towards the NWO, commencing with global Fiat.
Phenomenal work and research and putting things together!
I think more folks will understand that if the analysts and mainstream or government and powers that be say some thing is so, it is almost the exact OPPOSITE!
Btw, lots of people are talking about how gold is the one and only true currency and all that. Perhaps it is indeed. However, the current internet/chip/cellphone technology enables us to do many payments electronically which offers significant benefits (e.g. efficiency) over exchanging physical gold for each transaction. In my opinion one thing is for sure: using physical gold for payments directly will never happen. An as soon as physical gold is not exchanged each time, price/currency manipulation is possible.
Alright, physical gold echange (barter) transaction might occur for some time in case of a massive panic. What I'm trying to say is that given the benefits of electronic payment it does not look like much of a structurally optimal solution.
it is not about paying in actual gold, but to keeping and/or transferring your excess "liqid" wealth over a from one system to the next.
If you subscribe to such ideas, i.e. gold as a multiple decade-log wealth saver, that is up to you. But are you sure, that the current monetary system will survive the next 20-30 years, guaranteeing you a "sustainable" retirement?
You have to answer that question to yourself.
Great work again ! But if me and my kids are really really hungry, and we know our neighbour has some potatoes growing in the attic or basement of their house, (a well kept secret) would I exchange my gold for it?
Off course one would exchange gold for food if the trust in alternative money fails. Gold holds wealth, just as dollars currently (still) do, so trading that for food would seem a normal thing to do. Trading gold is basically barter dealing, where gold has proven itself as the most omniversal liked and storable asset.
I agree about using gold from transferring wealth from one system to the next.
Check gold companies with investments in Argentina like Barrick Gold. They are increasing their production considerably in this country.
hope all is well on your end. I must profess that I haven't kept track of things in the metals markets much recently, but did some quick work for a friend who was looking to invest and asked about bank selling. Just an FYI since I was trying to explain to him why when central bank activity ramps up it's the time to buy....Euro CB's have dumped over 220 tonnes of gold on the market in the last 3 weeks...ie. they've met nearly half their yearly selling quota in 3 weeks. Hadn't seen anybody mentioned anything like that in any news lately, though hadn't been looking either. It's always the interesting stuff that no one in the mainstream media seems to notice.
Kudos and thanks for the writeup!

Liverpool FC begin work on new training complex
Liverpool FC held a special 'breaking ground' ceremony at the academy in Kirkby on Thursday, to mark the beginning of work on the Reds' new training complex.
Jurgen Klopp and academy director Alex Inglethorpe were present to mark the start of the £50 million project, which is due to be completed in spring 2020, with the first-team moving across from Melwood ahead of the 2020/21 season.
The state-of-the-art redevelopment of the existing academy site will see the Reds' first team and youth football operations come together at a combined training facility for the first time in the club's history.
Andy Hughes, Chief Operating Officer at LFC, said: "Today marks another significant milestone in the Club's history.
"This development will not only provide first-class amenities for our players and staff – in which a clear pathway through to the first team will be created – but it will vastly improve sports facilities for the community of Kirkby.
"We're extremely pleased to be investing in the Knowsley area and look forward to building relationships with our neighbours as the project progresses."
The new 9,200sqm training complex will provide an elite performance centre for the first team and a state-of-the-art training area for the Club's development squads, alongside new pitches, two gyms, a full-size sports hall, pool, hydrotherapy complex and specialist sports rehabilitation suites.
There will also be dedicated TV studios, press conference facilities and office accommodation.
Building work on the community playing fields will complete later this year and, following a period for the grass to establish, the new pitches will be ready for use around August 2019.

Yelp Mafia? An Offer You Can't Refuse
It's evening in New York. The owners of a small, family owned pizzeria are washing dishes and wiping down tables, preparing to go home for the night. A man walks in. He is friendly enough. He tells them that they have a nice restaurant, and it would be a shame if something happened to it. He says he can protect them... for a price.
Extortion. Fraud. Racketeering.
It sounds like the plot to a cheesy mafia movie, but it is exactly what Yelp is being accused of in the upcoming documentary Billion Dollar Bully.
Directed by Kaylie Milliken and produced by Prost Productions, the documentary was inspired when her doctor complained about negative reviews from a patient who did not exist. They have since raised over $90,000 on Kickstarter.
According to interviews with business owners who were approached by Yelp, if they didn't agree to buy advertising with the company, then positive reviews for their business would disappear from their profile, and negative one would go to the top (eater.com).
Another tactic supposedly used is falsely flagging restaurants for buying positive reviews by offering free meals or money. As this is against Yelp's terms of service, they have the ability to punish them.
With alleged practices like these, the metaphor of a digital Cosa Nostra seems to fit. In fact, many restauranteurs approached for the interview declined to be on camera, fearing retaliation from Yelp.
Kaylie has stated that she is not out to dissuade people from using Yelp, only examine their business practices. But while she is not seeking to hurt Yelp, it appears she has. Their stock went down 4% when the Kickstarter campaign was going on (businessinsider.com)
In Yelp's defense, the Federal Trade Commission investigated the company, and closed its investigation after not finding sufficient evidence.
Yelp has declined interview request by the documentary, but when the movie started to get traction, they launched a smear campaign against Kaylie, alleging that she is ignoring facts and is herself guilty of trying to create fake positive reviews for her husband's law firm (CNBC).
Yet it seems like their attempts to discredit the documentary has only generated more interest in what it has to say.
The documentary has completed filming and had some limited screenings, but has yet to be released to the general public. We will have to wait until it is out to make any final decisions. But what is clear is that Yelp has become a very divisive topic, both for restaurant owners and users.
South Park has done an episode on Yelp, having the character Cartman using Yelp to bully restaurant owners into humiliating themselves and giving him free food. Family Guy as well has taken shots at the company, calling Yelp a "weapon for dumb people".
Whatever the truth of the documentary's claims, Yelp is facing a public relations issue. Whether they make a peace, or go to the mattresses, we will have to wait and see.

Augusto Farfus looking forward to his second visit to the Hungaroring.
The next and penultimate race weekend on the DTM calendar is a place where very few of the drivers have much experience, as this will be only the second time the series has gone to the Hungaroring in recently memory. It was last there in 2014 and before that 1988 was the only other time the series has ventured into Hungary. However, Augusto Farfus doesn't see this as a disadvantage as it is a track he likes.
The ever optimistic Brazilian is coming off the back of a disappointing weekend at the Nürburgring, one of his favourite tracks, but it would take more than that to see him be pessimistic about a race weekend: "This is a race track I like, and when we visited it back in 2014 I was fast and qualified sixth. Unfortunately I had brake issues in the race and had to retire after three quarters distance. However, BMW went on to win the race, so I am hopeful it will suit my Shell BMW M4 DTM."
The 4.381 kilometre circuit will not be exactly the same as in 2014, as Augusto explained: "There is new asphalt on the track and hopefully this can play into our hands, the way it did in Austria at the A1 Ring where a BMW won both races. We just have to keep working flat out the way we always do, push hard for the season finale and hope for a good result."
While the BMW Team MTEK driver likes the track with its many slow corners that make overtaking extremely difficult, he is also a big fan of Budapest, which is about a 20 minute drive away: "I think it is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe with a lot of history." This year the track has celebrated its 30th anniversary, as it was opened in 1986 and has hosted a Formula 1 race every year since then. This year there will be four drivers racing there who were not in the series in 2014, but they will all be aware that the best overtaking opportunity is just before the end of the start/finish straight where the track goes right.
The first track action will he the usual FP1 session on Friday from 17.00 to 17.30 local time. Then on Saturday FP2 is from 10.45 to 11.15 and is followed by qualifying for the first race of the weekend from 12.35 to 12.55. The 40-minute race starts at 14.58. On Sunday it is FP3 from 10.45 to 11.15, qualifying from 12.50 to 13.10 and then the 60-minute race starting at 15.13.

Why not therefore share a delivery with friends – subsequent boxes all charged at just £25* each. *Offer excludes Cream Teas and gluten free.
Can you send cream teas and pasties together?
Yes, but not in the same boxes due to the pasties being frozen. You can request pasties and a cream tea to be sent together to one address – this will incur less cost than if you send separately (see FAQ – Is delivery really free?).
How long should I bake the pasties for?
All deliveries are supplied with full baking instructions. All ovens vary but as a general rule: Preheat your oven to 190C (375F). Take item from freezer, remove any packaging and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for product guide time (Medium Pasties – 50 / 60 minutes, Cocktail Pasties – 45 / 55 minutes) until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is piping hot (over 95C).
Do you have products available for Vegetarians and/or Gluten Free?
We do not make gluten free products ourselves. However, we now stock delicious gluten free pasty pies from The Little Gluten Free Pasty Pie in Titagel. Our Vegetable and Cheese and Vegetable Pasties are suitable for vegetarians and are available in both medium and cocktail size.
How long can I keep the pasties in the freezer?
For best results, use the frozen pasties within 6 months of receipt. We bet however you won't be able to wait that long!
Please ensure that there will be someone available to receive the delivery and get the pasties straight into a freezer. Don't worry if the pastry has started to thaw a little, simply put in your freezer for when you are ready to use them. Even if you plan to use them that day, put them in the freezer as you will get best results when baking from frozen. The baking instructions included with every delivery will tell you all you need to know.
Our courier delivers TUESDAYS to FRIDAYS ONLY. You can order up to 11am for the day after delivery. For example, orders for a Tuesday delivery need to be with us by 11am on Monday. Orders for a Friday delivery need to be with us by 11am on Thursday. We do always try to send your delivery out the next day, however sometimes we may not have the stock and the parcel will arrive the following delivery day. Look out for your "Order Complete" email so you know when it will arrive. Orders can obviously be made in advance and if the pasties are for a special occasion or gift please try and order as early as you can!
How can I order and what payment methods are available?

We can also take your order by telephone with a credit and debit card – these details are shredded immediately after use. Cheque payment is also ok – send made out to Prima Bakeries Ltd at Wheal Rose, Scorrier, Redruth, Cornwall, TR16 5BX (leave plenty of time for the cheque to get to us).
UK mainland addresses only. We regret that due to courier delivery charges there are also some UK destinations that we cannot deliver to. Items cannot therefore be sent to the following locations: Isles of Scilly, Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, the Scottish Islands and the following postcodes in Scotland: AB37, AB38, AB41-56, FK19-FK21, HS1-HS9, IV1-IV63, KA27-KA28, KW1-KW17, KY15-17, PA20-PA78, PH1-PH50 and ZE1-ZE3.
Are your Cornish Pasties made to a traditional Cornish recipe?
Absolutely! Since 2011, genuine Cornish Pasties can only be made in Cornwall and we are proud members of the Cornish Pasty Association. To be called a Cornish Pasty, they are only allowed to include the traditional approved ingredients: beef, potato, onion, swede / turnip and seasoning. They must also be crimped to the side. This "side handle" of pastry was thrown away by the underground Cornish tin miners in centuries gone by. This avoided them eating the arsenic from their hands and also appeased the tin mine spirits, the Cornish "Knockers". The only other things that Prima puts into its traditional Cornish Pasties is a little butter (allowed under the rules) and lots of LOVE!
Are your Cornish Pasties sent fresh or frozen?
Frozen. Unlike other suppliers of pasties by post, we only send our pasties frozen and unbaked. We make and freeze our pasties each day, locking in goodness and flavour and then send them out frozen in an insulated polybox with a freezer pad. Our nearby courier picks them up from us at late in the afternoon and they are delivered to you the following morning before 12 noon. This way you can enjoy the pasties when you are ready and they will come out of your oven fantastically fresh and will taste just as if you were in Cornwall! We use this method ourselves in our shops as do our wholesale customers.
Sorry, we currently only send pasties and cream teas to UK mainland addresses.

Malaga News
Jemez happy with Rayo hunger
By daveredshaw - 23 March 2015, 11:02
Rayo Vallecano boss Paco Jemez was pleased with the hunger his players showed against Malaga at the weekend.
Gael Kakuta's first-half header claimed all three points for the Madrid club in a tetchy encounter punctuated by numerous fouls, but Jemez claimed he was satisfied with his team's display.
"We showed a lot of hunger and enthusiasm and want to go as high as possible," he told a Press conference.
"We are in a situation where we have no worries. The next step is to overtake Athletic Bilbao, who are eighth, and this team continues to get better.
"We are now more confident and give less away, so ultimately all our hard work is now beginning to pay off.
"Not committing as many errors allows us to beat teams like Malaga, who are very strong going forward, but they didn't pose us many threats.
"We haven't lost our freshness and I'm happy to have beaten them," he enthused.

Jalkari Bai was born on 22nd November 1830 in village Bhojalla on Balaji Marg. His father was Sadova Singh and mother named Dhania but some authors say her father was named as Mool Chand & mother Jamuna Devi. They were agriculturists, belonging to Kori Caste of Untouchables having Laria Gotar. Kori Caste has a glorious history and Kories are said to have been rulers of this country . Shamba Asur Maharaj was a Kori ruler as also revered Yashodhara wife of Gotam Budha was too from Kori Caste. How this so warrior and prosperous Kori peoples were reduced to a unknown position is a mystery. Jalkari Bai also nicknamed as Chaloria was the only child of her parents and she lost her mother at a very young age. So she was brought up by her father with utmost care, love and affection. Jalkari Bai grew into a strong, courageous, beautiful girl.
She was an Indian woman soldier who played an important role in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 during the battle of Jhansi. She was a soldier in the women's army of Queen Laxmibai of Jhansi.

Dr. Ambedkar on Education
1. "Educate, Agitate and Organise"
2. "Education is something which ought to be brought within the reach of every one..the policy therefore ought to be to make higher education as cheap to the lower classes as it can possibly be made. If all these communities are to be brought to the level of equality, then the only remedy is to adopt the principle of equality and to give favoured treatment to those who are below level."
3. "I am very fond of teaching profession. I am also very fond of students. I have dealt with them. I have lectured them in my life. I am very glad to talk to the students. A great lot of the future of this country must necessarily depend on the students of this country. Students are an intelligent part of the community and they can shape the public opinion."
4. To deny them that right (i.e. Education) is to create a situation full of injustice. To keep people illiterate and then to make their literacy the ground of their enfranchisement is to add insult to the injury. But the situation indeed involves more than this. It involves an aggravation of the injury for to keep illiterate and then to deny them franchise which is the only means where by they could effectively provide for the removal of illiteracy is to perpetuate illiteracy and postpone indefinitely the days of their enfranchisement.
Purpose of Education
Purpose of Education is to moralize and socialize the people.
W. & S. Vol. 2-p-39
Aim and functions of University Education
The aim and functions of University Education should be to see that the teaching carried on there is suited to adults; that it is scientific, detached and impartial in character; that it aims not so much at filling the mind of the student with facts or theories as at calling forth his own individuality, and stimulating him to mental effort; that it accustoms him to the critical study of the leading authorities, with perhaps, occasional reference to first hand sources of information, and that it implants in his mind a standard of toughness, and gives him a sense of the difficulty as well as the value of reaching at truth."
W. & S. Vol. 2-p-296
Students should learn
The student so trained should learn to distinguish between what may fairly be called matter of fact and what is certainly mere matter of opinion. He should be accustomed to distinguish issues, and to look at separate questions each on its own merits and without an eye to their bearings on some cherished theory. He should learn to state fairly, and even sympathetically the position of those to whose practical conclusions he is most stoutly opposed. He should become able to examine a suggested idea, and see what comes of it, before accepting it or rejecting it. Without necessarily becoming an original student he should gain an insight into the conditions under which original research is carried on. He should be able to weigh evidence, to follow and criticize argument and put his own value on authorities." W. & S. Vol. 2-p-296 297
Character is more important than education
That education was a sword and being a double edged weapon, was dangerous to wield. An educated man without character and humility was more dangerous than a beast. If his education was detrimental to the welfare of the poor, the educated man was a curse to society. Fie upon such an educated man. Character is more important than education." L.&M.— P-305

Geneva: Justice for the victims of the 1988 massacre Iran
Le Temps, a French-language newspaper published in Switzerland, printed an article about the formation of the organisation 'Justice for the victims of the 1988 massacre Iran'. An English translation of the article can be found on the National Council of Resistance of Iran's (NCRI) website.
They say how the recording of Hossein Ali Montazeri, the designated successor of Ayatollah Khomeini, that was recently released provides us with more information about what really happened during the summer of 1988 in which tens of thousands of people were murdered.
Montazeri's family released the recording, undoubtedly proving its authenticity. Speaking to judges and perpetrators, Montazeri who would eventually have occupied the position of Supreme Leader, strongly expressed his opposition to the application of a fatwa issued by Khomeini. "What will you say to the families?" he asked. He said that the crimes "that you made with your own hands" will cause them to be remembered as amongst the worst criminals in history.
Le Temps says that this conversation changed the future of Iran. Despite the event happening nearly three decades ago, it is still something that needs resolves.
It is reported that in Geneva, a committee is planning prepare so that an inquiry is triggered which would look into current Iranian authorities.
The fatwa issued by Khomeini, only a few sentences long, is a scathing call to "wipe out" political prisoners, sympathizers of MEK/PMOI. The religious decree would soon be carried out, causing 30,000 deaths according to the opposition. These people were systematically killed and buried in mass graves across the country.
Montazeri refused to condone the killings which caused him to be side-lined right up to his death in 2009. Like a ghost voice, he has now returned to haunt Tehran.
Ingrid Betancourt, former Colombian presidential candidate who had been held hostage for six years said: "This record gets people talking. Iranian society was not necessarily aware of the magnitude of what really happened." Betancourt, along with other well-known people, announced on Wednesday the formation of the Committee 'Justice for the victims of the 1988 massacre Iran'.
The members of the committee are lawyers and other political figures. Lawyer Azadeh Zabeti confirmed that it is essential that the UN launches an investigation in Geneva, especially because some of the leaders who played a significant role in the execution of the fatwa are still in power. On this subject, human rights organizations have often spoken in the past about the current Justice Minister, Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi.
When the recording was released, families of victims started to disclose information about the location of several mass graves. The location of more graves that were once concealed have become known in recent years because of new construction work or following rainfall.

WREN (FCC) Heritage Fund
The FCC Heritage Fund has been closed and is no longer accepting applications. The decision to close the fund was made by WREN in March 2016 following recent changes to the Landfill Community Fund. See further details here.
This means the National Churches Trust will no longer make recommendations or distribute WREN monies towards church repair projects. Some church community projects may still be eligible through WREN's existing FCC Community Action Fund. Please refer to their website for further details and eligibility criteria. An announcment on how WREN, a not-for-profit business that helps benefit the lives of people who live close to landfill sites, will award future heritage and biodiversity grants through a new fund is expected to follow.
In 2015 places of worship could apply under our Repair Grants Programme to be automatically considered under the Waste Recycling Environmental (WREN) Heritage Fund.
The fund offered a limited number of grants between £15,000 and £75,000 for urgent structural repair projects with a minimum cost of £50,000 (including VAT and fees).
The WREN Heritage Fund programme applied to Grade I or II* listed buildings sited within 10 miles of a licensed and active FCC Environment landfill site.
Below you can see a slide show of the churches awarded WREN grants in Autumn 2015.

Sim F-Cats Week 8: New Hampshire flirts with cellar, pitching ace out for season
Wednesday, April 15, 2020 Andrew Sylvia 400 Miles to Toronto, NH Fisher Cats, Sports 0
Manchester Ink Link is simulating the entire 2020 New Hampshire Fisher Cats season this month as we wait for the real baseball to return.
Today we enter Week 8.
In case you missed it, here's are our previous stories on the Fisher Cats' simulated season so far.
Week 1 (end-of-week record: 2-4)
Week 3 (end-of-week record: 9-11)
Week 4 (end-of-week record: 11-17)
One last look at Reid-Foley's 'stache during our simulated season (Promotional photo – Mark LoMoglio/MiLB.com)
Friday, May 29 – Hartford 9, New Hampshire 4
HARTFORD, Conn. – New Hampshire squandered a 2-0 lead heading into the middle of the fifth, as the Fisher Cats dropped their third in a row.
Hartford strung together three straight hits in the bottom of the fifth, fueling a two-run rally that marked the first of four straight innings with a run, including a five-run eighth.
Fisher Cats starting pitcher Anthony Kay lasted five innings and didn't get a decision, and was on the hook for one of the two runs in Hartford's fifth inning rally.
Chase Whitley (1-2) got the loss for New Hampshire, allowing three runs over the seventh and eighth.
At the plate, Forest Wall, Riley Adams, Ben Revere and Roemon Fields each recorded two hits, with Brock Lundquist getting a double.
The game marked the return of Fields who was demoted from Triple-A Buffalo. Roemon last played for the Fisher Cats in 2017 and is 29-for-122 (.238) so far this year for Buffalo.
With the loss, the Fisher Cats drop to 19-29, one game ahead of Hartford for last place in the division
In other news, the Fisher Cats announced that Sean Reid-Foley has been diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff and will miss the next 15 months.
Thomas Hatch (promotional photo)
Saturday, May 30 – Hartford 16, New Hampshire 2
HARTFORD, Conn. – The Fisher Cats now find themselves in a tie for last place in the Eastern League's Eastern Division, largely due an atrocious start by Thomas Hatch.
Hatch (0-1) started six games for the Fisher Cats in 2019 and this marked his first start for New Hampshire in 2020, which saw seven Hartford runs score before he left after the third inning. Only four of the seven runs scored during Hatch's time on the mound were allowed due to an error by Fisher Cats infielder Ryan Noda.
Hatch was followed by six other New Hampshire pitchers, with Fisher Cat infielder Christian Williams coming in for the final out, the second time in as many weeks he's been needed to take the hill for New Hampshire.
On offense, the Fisher Cats couldn't keep pace with Hartford's 15 hits, but they did manage a respectable nine hits of their own, with Brock Lundquist, Forest Wall, Roemon Fields and Dieferson Bareto each providing two apiece.
The Fisher Cats are now tied with Hartford for last place with a record of 19-30.
ut-oh…..
Sunday, May 31 – Hartford 6, New Hampshire 3
HARTFORD, Conn. – The Fisher Cats are now officially the worst team in the Eastern League, with the Yard Goats completed their sweep to overtake New Hampshire in the standings.
Andrew Sopko fell to 0-6 on the year, giving up five runs off nine hits and a walk over 4 2/3 innings of work.
At the plate, Josh Palacios led the way for New Hampshire, going 4-for-3 with a home run in the fifth. Alfredo Silverio also contributed a double in the eighth.
The Fisher Cats now spend the next two weeks against foes from the Eastern League's Western Division.
Earlier in the day, Roemon Fields was sent back up to Triple-A Buffalo, with relievers Emmanuel Ramirez and Alex Wimmers coming in from Advanced-A Dunedin.

Tuesday, June 2 – New Hampshire 5, Erie 4
MANCHESTER, N.H. – The Fisher Cats stopped their five-game losing streak to start the month on a positive foot.
New Hampshire was down 4-0 before tying things up in a bottom of the sixth that saw five Fisher Cat hits as the team sent nine men to the plate.
The deadlock wouldn't be broken until Ryan Noda gave New Hampshire a walk-off win in the ninth, getting on base with a full-count walk, advancing to second after Bene Revere's full count walk on the next at-bat, getting to third off a sac fly to right by Josh Palacios and then beating a throw home from short off a dribbling grounder by Brock Lundquist.
Brett Cecil (3-1) was the winner, facing four batters in the ninth. Turner Larkins gave up two home runs to the SeaWolves in his start for the Fisher Cats.
At the plate, Alejandro Kirk hit a double and Alfredo Silverio hit a triple during the sixth inning rally.
Anthony Kay (milb promotional photo)
Wednesday, June 3 – Erie 5, New Hampshire 1
MANCHESTER, N.H. – Perhaps Tuesday's win was a mirage, as the Fisher Cats returned to their losing ways on a rainy, windy weekday night.
Anthony Kay dropped to 4-3 on the year, lasting 3 2/3rds in his 11th start of the year so far for the 'Cats.
Kay gave up four runs off four hits and three walks and a home run to Derek Hill.
The SeaWolves four run lead lasted an extra hour due to a rain delay in the fifth, adding another run in the sixth.
Ben Revere crossed the plate off an Alejandro Kirk single in the eighth, his single earlier in the inning was one of two hits he recorded during the contest.
Prior to the contest, Thomas Pannone and Joey Murray returned to the rotation following their stints on the injured list.
Kyle Regnault (Wikimedia Commons)
Thursday, June 4 – New Hampshire 6, Erie 0
MANCHESTER, N.H. – Just over 2,200 fans came to Northeast Delta Dental Stadium on a rainy weekday afternoon and they were rewarded with one of the best Fisher Cat performances of the season.
Starting pitcher Thomas Hatch and reliever Kyle Regnault combined to allow just five Erie base runners, striking out 11 batters in the process.
The Fisher Cats' pitching held the line after the SeaWolves' hurlers recovered after a rough first two innings, with New Hampshire getting just two hits from the third inning and beyond.
Still, those first two innings provided more than enough run support for Hatch and Regnault's joint gem, with the 'Cats batting grabbing five runs as they batted around the order in the first, chasing Erie starter Alex Lange after just two outs.
Hatch is now 1-1 on the year and the save was the first of the season for Regnault.
At the plate, Ryan Noda ended with a double as he and Deiferson Barreto each finished the day with a pair of hits for the 'Cats.
Fisher Cat manager Cesar Martin announced that Patrick Murphy's ankle injury would require at least another week of rest before he could return.
With the win, the Fisher Cats escape the basement, climbing to 21-32, one game ahead of Hartford.
Batter of the Week: Deiferson Barreto – Barreto hit .333 (6-for-18), with hits in four of five games he played in, with two RBI, two walks and a run scored.
Pitcher of the Week: Brett Cecil – The 2013 American League All-Star was the only pitcher without a poor performance this week, grabbing the win on June 2, his only outing of the week.

This is a small but extremely important project on a nature reserve set on an island in the South of England.To mark the Scouting movement's centenary when Baden-Powell first held his experimental scout camp on Brownsea Island, a new outdoor activity centre was proposed for the island in conjunction with the National Trust and English Nature, to replace the straggle of portakabins that served as the original centre.
The two buildings forming the centre are inspired by the standard issue tents used in the early scouting movement. Given the sensitivity of the site, we designed every aspect of the development to be capable of being removed, and the site returned to nature, once the life of the centre comes to an end.
Prefabricated timber cassettes form the pitched roof, walls and floor with the foundations being on steel helical screw piles. The heating and hot water is provided by a bio-mass boiler that is fuelled by windfall timber from throughout the island. We soon established that this more than serves the need of the centre on an ongoing basis. As a result of this, and the other green aspects of the centre, the development is effectively carbon neutral.
In 2008 the project was awarded a RIBA regional award - Wessex Region, and in 2009 won a CIAT award.

We had a wonderful time. The house was very nice and the porch was amazing! It was a great neighborhood and close to beaches, stores, and everything you need.
I haven't been to the Outer Banks since I was a kid. I decided to take my family there to experience what I remembered. Spyglass Hill more than exceeded our expectations. I couldn't keep my kids in the house. Even though it rained most of the week, we still managed to find things to do. The Park Rangers have all kinds of programs going on. Definitely recommend. But at the end of the day, Spyglass Hill was our quiet piece of heaven to return to. Located on the sound, it couldn't be more perfect.

The Invisible Wounds of War: Number of Soldiers Committing Suicide Reaches Record High | Democracy Now!
author of numerous books, most recently, The Invisible Wounds of War: Coming Home from Iraq and Afghanistan. She is resident scholar at the Women's Studies Research Center at Brandeis University, previously professor of political science and creative writing.
AMY GOODMAN: The month of July set a record high for the number of suicides in the U.S. military. An Army report revealed a total of 38 troops—26 active-duty soldiers, another 12 National Guard or reserve members—are believed to have committed suicide in July, the highest rate recorded in a month since the Army started tracking detailed statistics on such deaths. More U.S. soldiers died in July by taking their own lives than on the battlefield.
We recently spoke to Iraq War veteran Aaron Hughes about suicides in the military.
AARON HUGHES: Every day in this country 18 veterans are committing suicide. Seventeen percent of the individuals that are in combat in Afghanistan, my brothers and sisters, are on psychotropic medication. Twenty to 50 percent of the individuals that are getting deployed to Afghanistan are already diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, military sexual trauma or a traumatic brain injury. Currently one-third of the women in the military are sexually assaulted. It's clear that these policies of the global war on terror has had a profound effect on the military, my brothers and sisters, while simultaneously perpetuating a failed policy. And unfortunately, we have to live with that failed policy on a daily basis, and we don't want to be a part of that failed policy anymore.
AMY GOODMAN: That was Aaron Hughes of Iraq Veterans Against the War. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta addressed the issue in June at the annual conference on suicide prevention in the military organized jointly by the Pentagon and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
DEFENSE SECRETARY LEON PANETTA: This issue, suicides, is perhaps the most frustrating challenge that I've come across since becoming secretary of defense last year. Despite the increased efforts, the increased attention, the trends continue to move in a troubling and tragic direction.
AMY GOODMAN: Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, speaking in June.
Well, to talk about the enormous problems that are contributing to increasing suicide rates in the military, we're joined by Marguerite Guzmán Bouvard, whose new book is The Invisible Wounds of War: Coming Home from Iraq and Afghanistan. She's resident scholar at the Women's Studies Research Center at Brandeis University, previously a professor of political science and creative writing.
MARGUERITE GUZMÁN BOUVARD: Thank you.
MARGUERITE GUZMÁN BOUVARD: It's a pleasure to be here.
AMY GOODMAN: July, 38 soldiers, National Guard, killed themselves. That's more than a soldier killing themselves a day.
MARGUERITE GUZMÁN BOUVARD: We're talking—right.
AMY GOODMAN: —killed themselves in July, you know, far more than die on the battlefield.
MARGUERITE GUZMÁN BOUVARD: Right. Just one more quote. One—in 155 days in 2012, 154 soldiers killed themselves in combat, not as veterans. This is a very, very important figure and one which we really need to pay attention to.
AMY GOODMAN: One of the chapters in your book, The Invisible Wounds of War, is "The High Rate of Suicides," and you have a photograph of Noah Charles Pierce. Talk about how you came to this issue.
So, the kind of combat that these soldiers endure is something that most Americans don't know anything about. They don't know about IEDs, improvised explosive devices, explosively formed penetrators. What do these mean? I'll tell you what they mean. You can't see them. They're put under the—under the asphalt. They're hidden in bushes. They're put in garbage cans. So, here you are in a Humvee, which is not mine-resistant. You see your buddy get blown to bits. So you're picking up pieces of his body, putting them in a bag, cleaning out the Humvee. You're watching your buddies die in terrible circumstances, day after day after day. And what happens is that the membrane between life and death kind of disappears.
AMY GOODMAN: You wrote a poem about Noah, and I was wondering if you could read it here?
AMY GOODMAN: Where did he live?
they called him a killer.
He was not a murderer.
who turned out to be a physician.
was invisible. He didn't come home.
to liberate his own life.
AMY GOODMAN: That was the poem that you wrote about Noah Charles Pierce. We're talking to Marguerite Guzmán Bouvard, the author of The Invisible Wounds of War. I want to address a controversy earlier this summer involving Major General Dana Pittard. Dana Pittard, a commander at Fort Bliss, in May, he wrote on his blog, quote, "I am personally fed up with soldiers who are choosing to take their own lives so that others can clean up their mess. Be an adult, act like an adult, and deal with your real-life problems like the rest of us," he said. The posting was retracted, but Pittard never apologized. He still commands one of the Army's largest units. Marguerite, your response?
MARGUERITE GUZMÁN BOUVARD: Well, my response is that there's a military culture and a civilian culture, and there's a gap between them. And in the military culture, you're supposed to be strong, brave, nothing bothers you. If you need help, you're looked on as a wimp, as weak. And it takes a long time for soldiers to feel that it's OK not to be OK. That's a different culture. That's another culture. It's not the military culture. And so, they really don't provide the help that these soldiers need when they return.
They come back from Iraq, they're still in Iraq. For instance, they're driving down the street—where there used to be IEDs buried—they see a can, they get panicked, they say, "This is going to blow up." They hear a noise, they get startled and upset. And most of us have good and bad memories. We can put our bad memories aside. Our soldiers can't. They dream about them. They hallucinate. All of the veterans I've interviewed, they close their door. They sleep with a gun under their pillow. They're still at risk. They work 24/seven in a group that is like a family. A unit is like a family. And when one of them dies, it's like losing a member of your family. And, in fact, so many of them die that one veteran told me, when I interviewed him, he said, "There were—we had maybe 40 to 50 RPGs, rocket-propelled grenades, come over our base a day. The silence was eerie." He said, the trailer where he lived, "My bunk was damaged. Suppose I had been in that bunk." In other words, you come back, you're still in Iraq. You feel more alien than if you had come from Mars.
AMY GOODMAN: I wanted to end with a comment of Aaron Glantz, author of The War Comes Home: Washington's Battle Against America's Veterans, talking about why rates of suicide are so high.
AARON GLANTZ: We've been at war for 10 years. We have 2.5 million Americans who have served in these wars. About a million of them are still in the military, and a million and a half of them are out of the military and are now veterans. We have 18 veterans who commit suicide every day in this country. We haven't asked people to go through war in this kind of way, you know, probably since World War II. In Vietnam, people served one tour, and then they came home. We had a draft. Now we ask people to go again and again. And so, you have a million people who have been through the wars who are still in the military. You have 90,000 people who are still in Afghanistan fighting this war. It's not surprising that the suicides would be higher than the battlefield deaths at this point.
AMY GOODMAN: That's journalist Aaron Glantz. And I want to thank you, Marguerite Guzmán Bouvard, author of a number of books, including, the most recent, The Invisible Wounds of War: Coming Home from Iraq and Afghanistan. She's a resident scholar at Women's Studies Research Center at Brandeis University.
This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. When we come back, we'll talk about South Africa. Stay with us.


Myeik in Myanmar is the next destination to explore for the thrill-seekers who love something new, hidden, and beautiful. Then, if you share this passion, then be passionate to read some fascinating pieces before you go to Myeik.
Myeik (or Mergui) is a remote city in Tanintharyi Division of Myanmar, with the estimated area of 7783 square miles. In the extreme south of the country, Myeik is set on the coast of a beautiful island on the Andaman Sea. The genuine charm of Myeik lies in its picturesque archipelago. Though Myeik is a small town, it is attractive and significant to the country. Historically, Myeik holds the long and proud marine history, and one of the best keepers of the colonial buildings in the Southeast Asia. There stand out the attractions of pagodas, shopping centers, offices, hotels, etc., to stop by. You might also want to buy some local souvenirs like the pearl, rubber, edible birds' nest, dried prawn, Ngapi (shrimp paste) and more. These are the major livelihoods of the locals. Traveling to Myeik in Myanmar, people should find it inspiring to explore both the inland town and the archipelago. Myeik is a gateway to the 800 offshore islands. Myeik Archipelago is open for tourism via the enjoyable cruising.
The town is aesthetic with the eye-catching architecture and the bustling streets. There lie numerous beautiful buildings along the streets as well as the wooden houses and the colonial remnants. The first-time visitors might also find it incredible to step into the old merchant shops or the self-styled mansions. Running around the lovely town, you will find Myeik Fish Markets where to see the rich sea life including the blue legged lobsters, tuna, squid, crabs, crayfish, etc. The market sightseeing lets you feel how the local life is in some corners.
The town has the Theindawgyi Pagoda which functions as the traditional meeting place for the local people. From the town center, walk for 2 minutes up the hill to see the pagoda. From the hill, enjoy the panoramic view of the distant islands. Furthermore, the walking towards the nearby Mingalar Lake, the clock tower, the fire station with the old fire trucks, etc.
The archipelago is a distant and gorgeous tourist trail, and most parts remain uncovered. It is always best to join the guided tour so that you discover the islands in a safe and knowledgeable manner. The primary and picturesque clusters of islands appeal to everybody while the wildlife encourages the exciting exploration. Via cruising, the passengers can expect to see some of 800 islands in various sizes.
Undoubtedly, each of the islands is just perfect for every aquatic activity, from diving to fishing, and everything in between. The untouched coral reefs cheer you up much while diving, and the abundant marine life stimulates your fishing joy. Also, the images of yachts and cruises scattering around the scenery are extraordinary.
The tropical forest in the archipelago is dense and lush all season. It is ideal for the real hiking experience. Once hiking through the dense greenness, you stay closest to nature and breathe the incredibly fresh air. That is a refreshing experience!
If feeling like kayaking, then find your kayak and enjoy the journey through mangroves and up rivers. It is the perfect activity for the thrill-seekers. They get the boundless opportunities to explore the wild nature. Also, the kayak might bring you to the isolated white-sand beaches. The stress-free discovery can let you see a wide range of wildlife, from the emerald doves to the eagles, and so forth.
First, Lampi Island is where to see Myanmar's first marine national park in 1995. This is the greatly popular island for any visitor to Myeik Archipelago. The island has the gifts of the rich biodiversity, mangrove, and coral reefs. So, diving and kayaking are the two most exciting activities in Lampi.
Second, Frost Island (or 115 Island) gains fame for the white-sand beach with the crystal clear water that you can see the untouched coral reefs, the sea urchins, and the colorful tropical fish through it. Admittedly, Frost Island is compatible for snorkeling, kayaking, and jungle trekking.
Third, Nyaung Wee Island is the residence of the Moken people. You see many Moken villages there, and it is the exciting experience to step into the Moken houses. Also, don't forget to learn more about Moken people called as the Salone or the sea gypsies. They are one of Myanmar's most distant ethnic groups. They live the nomadic, sea-base lifestyle, and are famous for the mastery of free diving. Generations of the Moken people have been training themselves to have the high visible focus under the water with the ability to hold their breath in the admirable length.
Fourth, Phi Lar Island has the strengths of the deserted, white sand, and palm-bordered beaches. What's more, the untouched coral reefs are competent for snorkeling. Get immersed in the pure beaches of Phi Lar is one of the greatest things to do in Myeik.
Fifth, Myauk Ni Island brings you to a different part of the world in which some of the friendliest and most honest people live. The Islanders welcome the tourists with the smiles and great stories about their life. While the island is gorgeous and primeval itself, people are the highlights here.
Myeik is served by Myeik Airport. There are flights to Myeik from Yangon, Kawthaung, and Dawei. Please check with your Burma travel agents or the favorite airlines to check if any flight is available during your departure day! Then, from the Myeik Airport, take a taxi or tuk-tuk to reach the town center.
For reaching Myeik Archipelago, cruising is a single way. The cruise package providers will arrange the "special permit" for the international passengers to experience the multi-day on board. Please note that the foreigners are not currently allowed to come to the islands independently, and there are the naval patrols to check your credentials throughout the islands.
Myeik experiences the tropical monsoon climate, with the warm temperature all year round. But, there are two major seasons here.
December – February: This is the short winter period in Myeik. The cold and dry winter make the town more inspiring in some people's eyes as it is coated in the beautiful white snow. If you can endure the coldness at night, come there to enjoy the New Year if possible. In fact, the archipelago is most beautiful during this period, with the constant wind and the calm sea.
March– November: This is the long wet season in Myeik. The weather features the torrential rain, especially from May to September. However, before the rain, the weather in Myeik is most suitable for cruising and sightseeing. March and April give Myeik the best charm with the clearest water and warm feeling, making it the best time to see Myeik. Then, from May to July, some strong onshore winds might come. If the condition gets worse with storms, the cruise to the Archipelago might not operate.

Supply chain woes threaten export loans
1 September 2012 by Mark Anderson
US: A significant spike in US exports of wind equipment that is providing a lifeline for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) is at risk from a reducing supply chain.
Exporters are starting to feel squeezed by the looming year-end lapse of the production tax credit (PTC), with layoffs and factory closures across the component subsector being caused by congressional indecision over extending the PTC. This offers $0.22/kWh for the first ten years of wind projects.
Shrinking loans
A further outcome for a reducing US supply chain is smaller loans from the Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank - a federal agency mandated in part to finance exports of US-made wind equipment - because of a sliding-scale provision tied to domestic content. The bank provides 85% of costs for products with 85-100% US content. But as content ratios decline, so do the loans. Nacelles, blades and towers with only 50% domestic content are eligible for loans equaling only 50% of the equipment's value.
The timing is unfortunate. Ex-Im Bank's financing for renewable-energy equipment increased to more than $700 million in 2011 and 2013 from $100 million in 2008. US exports of wind equipment have grown from $22 million in 2008 to $149 million in 2011, according to a government study by the US International Trade Commission. And the figure for this year's first quarter alone is $83 million. Markets in Canada and Latin America - the biggest importers of US-made wind equipment - are expected to account for 8.3% of global installations by 2015, up from 5.3% in 2011.
"OEMs are looking for other markets and other ways to stay afloat while the US essentially abandons policy at the federal level," said Matt DePrato, a wind-energy analyst at IHS Emerging Energy Research. "But the supply chain is very threatened and the light has almost gone out at some levels - especially in the near term."
Ex-Im Bank offers project-friendly terms that include 18-year fixed-rate loans at 2.82%. Since 2009, the bank has financed a 67.5MW Clipper project in Mexico, along with LM Wind Power blades in Brazil, Northern Power turbines in Italy and Gamesa turbines for Honduras and Uruguay.
More deals are planned and last month Ex-Im announced $2 billion in financial support for South Africa's renewable-energy sector, which plans to install 3.6GW by 2016.
"Ex-Im Bank's mandate is not to make a profit," said Craig O'Connor, director of the bank's office of renewable energy and environmental exports. "Ex-Im Bank will be the most cost-effective source of financing for US-made goods and services in the world. We're an active tool in the arsenal of US suppliers to wind projects."
Gamesa's 102MW Honduras development involved 51 turbines and a $159 million loan, delivering the country's first utility-scale project when inaugurated in February. The 50MW Uruguay project, scheduled for 2013 construction, will keep staff working at the company's Pennsylvania blade and nacelle plants despite a lack of domestic orders. The US arm of Spain-based Gamesa has additional Latin American deals pending with Ex-Im.
"By exporting we are actually helping the US trade balance," said David Rosenberg, Gamesa's North America marketing and communications vice-president. "But if our suppliers are shut down or go out of business, that's going to have a direct impact on our ability to export."
The results could be tragic. The July report, US Wind Turbine Export Opportunities in Canada and Latin America, notes that domestic OEMs are positioned to capture growing Canadian and Latin American markets in large part because transportation costs are much lower than for faraway competitors in Europe, China and elsewhere.
Local components
The report adds that, although target markets in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec maintain significant local-content requirements, the Canadian pipeline for US firms totals about 3.6GW - and content quotas can often be met by adding locally sourced components.
Brazil, Latin America's largest wind-power market, is described as a limited opportunity for US exporters due to local-content requirements and a flurry of international OEMs expanding into the country. But the Mexican market is growing rapidly, with more than 450MW completed in the first quarter of 2012 and annual installations expected to reach 600MW next year.
Other Latin American markets are also thriving and offer US manufacturers various opportunities, according to the report. New policies that encourage development of wind power, along with rising electricity demand and excellent wind resources, provide encouraging signs. The report does however point to potential problems, including poor grid infrastructures, a shortage of skilled personnel and utilities largely unfamiliar with wind power.
