loppelist: Just wanted to give Yithemes my thumbs up. I recently purchased Cheope and I can already say it is a great theme. First it took me a while to figure everything out but when I took the time to read the detailed instructions, took my time to look around inside the controlpanel I actually quite quickly learned my way around and found thay the reason that it can seem a bit complex to start with is simply, that it has so many options to tweak and do almost whatever you want. I can find my way around wordpress, themes and plugins = make minor changes, fix minor errors with proper guidance etc. but I am absolutely no coding wizard. Therefore it is extremely important for me that a company/theme delivers what it promises when I research before buying. Yithemes delivers! Not only is the design very nice to look at, usability and user experience is also great. But also very IMPORTANT the support that is given is great. It is easy to understand (it is not given in a language = only for coding geniuses), it is also kind and it is as quick a possible when one understand it takes more than to minutes after a support request is sent to reasearch a problem, write an answer that can be understood and send it. So therefore THANK YOU VERY MUCH YITHEMES!
chronosx4: To be honest i love what you can do with cheope. I was looking around for a eshop template, I am not the best in building website but I'm not too bad either. I found cheope and Sara was great explaining me which one was better, Maya was my first option but she recommended cheope. I must say it is AMAZING, the website looks incredible, it is at the start difficult because you don't know where to start and I was used to use coding that doing it like with cheope with one click!! When I understood how it works! OMG! It was so easy! I think it is a great job, very well done guys and I also appreciate the quick service you provide.
staciejensen: Hello there. I just want to give people who haven't purchased peace of mind, this product is AMAZING!

And having the full sample data – wow … my time does not need to be sent resetting up the style. Its done for you and in so many different formats to choose from. Don't hesitate. This is amazing!
ashloudon: The support I have received from YIT has been simply outstanding. Mindful of my needs to support my clients, their responses have been prompt, focused and incredibly efficient.

|Important Information
|ADA Considerations
|The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact the Special Populations Coordinator, Room 231, in the Madison Monroe Building. The phone number is (409) 984-6241.
|Copyright Violations
Some material in this course may be copyrighted. They may be used only for instructional purposes this semester,
by students enrolled in this course. These materials are being used fairly and legally.
No one may distribute or share these copyrighted materials in any medium or format with anyone outside this class,
including publishing essays with copyrighted material, uploading copyrighted material to Facebook or YouTube, or
painting or performing copyrighted material for public display.
Copyright violation is not the same thing as plagiarism. Plagiarism is intellectual dishonesty. Offenses of plagiarism result in lower grades or failing scores, and professors and the college strictly enforce plagiarism rules. There is never any acceptable use of plagiarism. Copyright violation is a legal offense, punishable by large fines and penalties.
Copyrighted material can be used if permission from the materialís creator is obtained, or if its use meets the standards of fair use in an educational setting. For example, a student can quote a line from Shakespeareís Hamlet in a report without violating copyright but still be guilty of plagiarism if the quotation is not properly documented.
If you are in doubt about what material can be freely used, ask your professor or contact the Dean of Library Services, at (409) 984-6216.
|Assessment Statement
Assessment is a process by which LSCPA can help you learn better and gauge the level of progress you have made to
attain knowledge, skills, beliefs, and values. It also helps your professors understand how to improve teaching
and testing methods in your classes, and it helps each department understand and improve degree and certificate
Periodically LSC-PA will collect assessment data for research and reporting purposes, including statistical data and sometimes copies of your work. Be assured that all material the college uses for assessment purposes will be kept confidential. To ensure anonymity, your name will be removed from any material we use for assessment purposes, including video-recorded performances, speeches, and projects.
If you object to allowing LSC-PA to use your material for assessment purposes, submit a letter stating so to your professor by the 12th class day. You will still be required to participate in whatever assessments are being done; we just wonít use your data.
Whatís the difference between assessment and grades? The grades you get on papers, projects, speeches, and assignments are specific types of focused assessment. LSC-PAís assessment efforts include class grades, surveys, standardized tests, and other tools.
|Privacy Notice
Federal privacy laws apply to college students. This means that college employees, including instructors, cannot
divulge information to third parties, including parents and legal guardians of students. Even if the students are
minors, information about their college work cannot be shared with anyone except in very limited circumstances.
Anyone requesting information about a student should be referred to the Registrar. Instructors will be notified in writing by that Office about what information may be released and to whom.

Circumstances under which information may be released:
An adult student may submit, to the Registrar, a handwritten, signed note granting permission for release of
information. The note must specify what information may be divulged, and it must specify the name of the person
to whom the information may be given.
The Registrarís office is located in the Student Center room 303B, and can be reached at (409) 984-6165.

Brass from the Past!
The 33rd Illinois Volunteer Regiment Band Inc. was re-created in 1996, by musicians from Central Illinois. Like the original band, the musicians were recruited from the same geographical area in Illinois and come from all walks of life. The band is an authentic re-creation of the actual Civil War Era band that was mustered at State Normal University in 1861.
33rd Performance Online
Listen to 12 songs available on YouTube from the
33rd's performance
at Sons of Union Veterans of the
Civil War Wreath-laying Ceremony
( April 13, 2019 )
The 33rd Illinois Volunteer Regiment Band has performed for historic programs, school events, and civic events throughout the Midwest, including many performances in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky, and Wisconsin. The band also plays at military balls and conducts educational programs that address the history of the Civil War era brass band movements and the evolution of brass instruments. The band's uniforms, sewn from natural wool fibers, are authentic in every detail and are patterned from actual specimens worn by the Union soldier. The authenticity in dress presents the audience with the most accurate appearance possible.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The political turf war between the Asian Tour and rival OneAsia has created a messy environment that has ruled out the involvement of global golf sponsor HSBC, the bank's head of sponsorship Giles Morgan told Reuters.
The two golf circuits have been at loggerheads since OneAsia's inception in 2009 with tournaments swapping hands and the Asian Tour fining their members who competed in their rival's events.
Four members won a restraint of trade case against the Asian Tour in December over the penalties and the rivalry of the duo is set to continue next month when OneAsia's season-opening event, the Thailand Open, goes up against the Asian Tour's Avantha Masters in India on March 14.
The criticism, court cases and confusion were best avoided, said HSBC.
"We absolutely support that we would want to see a clear hierarchy for golf in Asia, there is so much potential and growth here, but I don't want to be involved in it, no," Morgan told Reuters in Singapore on Tuesday ahead of the HSBC Women's Champions event which starts on Thursday.
"In this part of the world it hasn't always been politically plain sailing in golf. We sit above it, so that is not an issue for us."
The lofty perch comes through their World Golf Championship (WGC) HSBC Champions event in Shanghai, China, with an eye-catching $8.5-million prize fund in October.
As one of four WGC events, the tournament is run by the International Federation of PGA Tours, whose members include the U.S. PGA Tour, the European Tour, the Japan Golf Tour, the Australasia Tour, the Sunshine Tour and the Asian Tour.
"That is why we were delighted to be a World Golf Championship event, the reason we absolutely mandated that," Morgan said, happy to be dealing with one united voice.
"Certainly sitting at the top table of golf is a good place for a sponsor to be."
Even with the elevated position, Morgan and HSBC have encountered problems.
Last year's tournament did not feature the sport's two top-ranked players, Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, who opted to compete in a lucrative head-to-head duel elsewhere in China. The players said they could not take part in every event in a schedule that has grown significantly.
Morgan described the snub as 'disappointing' and warned that the bank's involvement could end, but he was confident that the new three-year contract extension they had signed, which increased prize money and key ranking points, would help to avoid a repeat scenario.
"I know the European and PGA Tour of America are acutely aware that if you are a big sponsor of one of the 15 big events, which are very expensive to put on, that sponsors are all requiring the top players to play. It is a very difficult balance and one I feel the game of golf needs to police rather than sponsors.
"If the World Golf Championship doesn't offer us value for money at the end of the three years it is quite a simple decision - we don't do it.
"I hope it does as there is nothing more we can do. The way we sponsor golf tournaments is as good a way as you can. The Tours are acutely aware the last thing they want to do is lose the top brands."
With the China event, the $2.7-million Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship on the men's European Tour, the British Open men's major, an LPGA event in Brazil and this week's LPGA tournament, which has attracted the elite of the women's game, Morgan believes their sponsorship portfolio is full, probably.
"We never say never," said Morgan, whose company also heavily invest in junior golf, including the China Junior Golf team which helped to bring through 14-year-old Asia-Pacific amateur champion Guan Tianlang,
With a saturated market and multiple professional events taking place each week in all corners of the world, less is more.
"All successful sports run the risk of over-exposure," he said.
"There is a lot of golf for sure and a lot of events, that's why I think it is important, if you are a sponsor, if you can find an event that makes you stand out."

Doctor to plead guilty in Calif. prescription case
A Southern California doctor has agreed to plead guilty to charges of illegally prescribing drugs to his patients at nightly meetings in Starbucks stores.
Court documents show Alvin Mingczech Yee, 44, entered into a plea agreement earlier this week. He is expected to plead guilty to seven counts at an April 17 hearing. The agreement recommends a prison sentence between eight and 10 years.
Yee saw up to a dozen patients nightly at Starbucks coffee stores across suburban Orange County at meetings that cost up to $600, prosecutors said. Yee barely examined them but prescribed powerful painkillers such as OxyContin and Vicodin.
Court records show Yee took the pulse and blood pressure of one patient - who turned out to be a confidential source for the Drug Enforcement Agency.
"Bet you never had your blood pressure taken in a Starbucks before," according to an affidavit.
Yee was arrested in October 2011 at his Irvine office and has been free on bond. He was charged with dozens of counts of illegally distributing a controlled substance.
Court records said investigators seized large amounts of commonly abused drugs linked to Yee from suspected drug dealers and others in Detroit, Phoenix and Seattle.
A medical expert who reviewed Yee's practice for federal prosecutors called it "a front for drug dealing," according to the affidavit. One of Yee's patients, a 21-year-old woman, died of a drug overdose in 2011 after he prescribed drugs for her, according to the Los Angeles Times ( https://lat.ms/10xgMWL ).
The affidavit cites a preliminary finding by the Orange County coroner's office that noted Yee's name was associated with several other overdose deaths that were under investigation.
Yee has a delinquent medical license, according to the Medical Board of California's website. His license expired last year.

text: Officially the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, the G.I. Bill was created to help veterans of World War II. It established hospitals, made low-interest mortgages available and granted stipends covering tuition and expenses for veterans attending college or trade schools. From 1944 to 1949, nearly 9 million veterans received close to $4 billion from the bill's unemployment compensation program. The education and training provisions existed until 1956, while the Veterans' Administration offered insured loans until 1962. The Readjustment Benefits Act of 1966 extended these benefits to all veterans of the armed forces, including those who had served during peacetime. Learn more HERE.

The decades-old notion of the "paperless office" has yet to come true, but the paper industry is facing significant challenges from the advancing digital age. Packaging and other forest products are also in the midst of important transitions that make innovation critical in realizing continued growth. Understanding the full landscape of energy sources as well as consumer behavior is a prerequisite to winning.
Forward-looking companies have found growth by implementing consistent cost programs, refocusing their portfolios, transforming their organizational structures, and searching for operational improvements. Innovation and R&D, especially in packaging, will help companies realize growth in new markets.
With the current market conditions, packaging and cardboard players generate the highest returns. But other companies are also capable of generating significant returns, including conglomerates involved in multiple grades. The winners in paper and packaging create value by taking a well-balanced approach to respond to the digital challenge and energy outlook, ensuring revenue growth and sustainable EBITDA margins.

The initiative will analyze the South Africa's government and regulatory capacity to create the right conditions for the promotion of renewable energy, efficiency, and social equity, in line with sustainable development and public interests.
Electricity issues are high on the political agenda in 2008 as South Africa confronts a crisis where reserve margins are unprecedentedly low, resulting in inadequate power supply to meet demand. The crisis presents an opportunity for improved integration of clean energy into South Africa's energy mix – yet robust governance frameworks will be necessary in order to help manage tradeoffs between environmental, social, and financial considerations.
The Electricity Governance Initiative will undertake a systematic assessment of decision-making processes in the electricity sector in South Africa. This independent assessment will be based on the use of the EGI indicator toolkit, a set of indicators designed to assess the three interlocking principles of transparency, accountability and participation, as well as the institutional capacity to operationalize these principles. Analysis of decision-making processes will focus on:
Energy Policy and Planning
Over the past decade, numerous institutional arrangements for electricity have been considered for South Africa, and resulting policy frameworks have been highly uncertain. Implementation of both the White Paper of 1998, which would have included elements of a competitive model for generation, and the Cabinet Memo of 2001 which emphasized private sector participation in generation of new electricity through independent power purchases, have stalled since 2004. Contested definitions of the respective roles of the public and private sector explain, in part, the lack of implementation of these policies. At the same time, the Central Energy Fund (CEF) and the National Energy Efficiency Agency (NEEA) mandates to promote renewable energy and efficiency are increasingly important given current supply shortfalls. The assessment will analyze capacity needs to facilitate coherent, transparent and accountable policy planning and implementation.
Regulatory Capacity
The regulator plays a critical oversight role in the electricity sector. In regulating tariff setting by Eskom, it also has authority over the provision of licenses for generation and approval of new investments. The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) has an important role to play in protecting the public interest, including consideration of equity, affordability and access and determining the terms on which renewable energy can be incorporated into South Africa's electricity mix. The EGI assessment will take a systematic look at the mandate of the regulator in the electricity supply and distribution industries, and the preconditions and challenges of fulfilling its role, including with respect to effective stakeholder engagement. The assessment will use case studies to provide useful insights into practice of regulation of investment decisions.
Distribution of Electricity
Efforts to restructure the electricity distribution industry have been frustrated by the breakdown of a stakeholder process in which the impact of reform on the financial viability of municipalities has not been resolved. The assessment will seek to inform ongoing processes addressing the structure and functions of the Electricity Distribution Industry. The analysis will also consider new processes underway to encourage municipal efforts to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy. Municipal governments have played an important role in independent power production arrangements, in bringing renewable energy online, and in managing demand for electricity – yet national policy support is often necessary to advance such initiatives fully.
EGI-South Africa will be led by Idasa (Institute for Democracy in South Africa), in collaboration with a working group of South African civil society organizations and research institutes, including the Energy Research Center (University of Cape Town), Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Studies (Stellenbosch U.), Green Connection, Sustainable Energy Africa, WWF-SA, Restio Energy, Earthlife Africa, and the International Labour Resource and Information Group (ILRIG).
The World Resources Institute (WRI) serves as the secretariat for EGI in collaboration with Prayas Energy Group (India), and is active in India, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil and Central Asia.
Through this initiative we seek to engage with legislators, government officials, planners and regulators as part of the assessment process, as well as with industry associations, small providers of alternative energy, and private sector companies with an interest in social and environmental considerations. Our efforts will build the capacity and credibility of our civil society partners in order to enable them to advocate more effectively for public interests. We also seek to build the capacity of policymakers and regulators to practice better governance in order to build political support for innovations to promote clean energy and efficiency.

Jennings, Ellis lead Bucks in 98-85 win over Kings
Milwaukee earns third straight win
Brandon Jennings scored 19 points, Monta Ellis had 17 points and 11 assists and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Sacramento Kings 98-85 on Wednesday night.
Ersan Ilyasova added 16 points and a season-high 14 rebounds, and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute scored a season-high 17 points in his first start of the season for Milwaukee (11-9), which has its best 20-game start since 2005-06.
Tyreke Evans had 17 points in his return to Sacramento's lineup after missing three straight games - and five of six - with a sore left knee. John Salmons added 16 points.
The Kings were without center DeMarcus Cousins, suspended one game by the NBA earlier in the day striking Dallas' O.J. Mayo in the groin area in their road loss Monday night.
The Bucks never trailed and used a 12-2 run bridging the third and fourth quarters to take a 79-64 lead and put the game away.
Both teams were short-handed. Besides Cousins, the team's leading scorer and rebounder, the Kings were without key reserve forward Marcus Thornton (personal reasons). The Bucks were missing their two starting forwards, Larry Sanders (illness) and Epke Udoh (left wrist sprain), and key reserves Mike Dunleavy (bruised left knee) and Beno Udrih (right ankle sprain).
The offenses struggled as the Bucks shot 41 percent (39 for 96) from the field to Sacramento's 37 percent (32 for 86), and the Kings were just 3-of-19 (16 percent) on 3s.
The missed shots led to a lot of rebounds and Milwaukee finished with a 60-50 edge. Drew Gooden finished with 10 boards in his first extended playing time (22 ½ minutes) of the season. He was inactive much of the year before making his debut last Friday.
Jason Thompson had a season-high 15 rebounds for Sacramento.
The Bucks jumped to an early 20-10 lead and led 29-19 after the first quarter, as Ellis sank a half-court shot to beat the buzzer. Sacramento used a 10-0 run to tie it at 32.
Two Bucks players picked up technical fouls with 2:04 left in the second quarter after exchanging words with referee Ken Mauer. Tobias Harris was whistled after arguing over a no-call following a layup attempt.
Then, as Harris was getting taped up near the bench, Mauer whistled Gooden, who was sitting on the bench. The technical free throws made it 43-39, but Milwaukee scored the last six points of the half to lead by 10 at the break. Mbah a Moute had 13 in the half.
Ellis added eight rebounds in his bid for his third career triple double.
NOTES: Milwaukee started 12-8 in 2005-06 en route to a 40-42 season. . Dunleavy has missed four straight games, and Udrih has missed six straight. . The teams' last meeting came on Jan. 5, when the Kings came from a 21-point halftime deficit to beat Milwaukee 103-100 in Keith Smart's coaching debut.

With the arena system introducing a new kind of competitive PvP to the World of Warcraft, we're seeing our first professionally sponsored WoW arena teams. While Blizzard continues to market WoW to a core casual audience, the introduction of paid professionals into the arena brackets is anything but casual friendly. (Not that I've ever been a good enough PvPer to hit the top levels, but it was always nice to look at the arena gear and dream!) And the truth is we've probably only just seen the beginning of such sponsorships. Says Stephen Schoder of Check Six (sponsors of team ZERG IT UP):
In the future you will soon find that Blizzard has tweaked the game to near perfection [in regards to game balance] in preparation for mainstream eSports competition.
There's a whole new world of gaming out there, and Blizzard is only just getting its feet wet.
[Via 1up, with thanks to Dave for the tip!]
Will professional gaming change the World of Warcraft as we know it?

POSITIVE STEPS ON 'STOP AND FRISK,' DRUG ARRESTS For all who believe in colorblind justice - and want to see fewer African American and Hispanic men caught up in the system - there are two recent items of good news: a judge's ruling ordering changes in New York's "stop- and-frisk" policy and Attorney General Eric Holder's initiative to keep nonviolent drug offenders out of prison. First, stop- and-frisk. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is having a hissy fit over U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin's finding that the policy amounted to "indirect racial profiling." On his weekly radio show, he wouldn't even say Scheindlin's name, calling her "some woman" who knows "absolutely zero" about policing. In an op-ed for The Post, Bloomberg went so far as to accuse Scheindlin of being "ideologically driven." If and when Bloomberg calms down, I'd like to ask him the fundamental question posed - not in these words, of course - by Scheindlin's ruling: Would it kill you to stop and frisk some white guys, too? Blacks and Hispanics make up about half of New York City's population but were targeted in 87 percent of the 532,911 "stops" last year under Bloomberg's policy, which encourages police to detain and search individuals if there is "reasonable suspicion" that the person "committed, is committing, or is about to commit" a crime. The reason most often cited for a stop is that the individual made "furtive" movements. In nine out of 10 cases, the person is stopped - and sometimes frisked - but no evidence is found of any offense. Bloomberg argues that this kind of proactive policing actually prevents crime, and he credits stop-and-frisk for making New York the safest big city in the country. I'm all for safe streets. I'm also aware that there is no consensus crediting stop-and-frisk with any impact on the crime rate, but I'm willing to accept the premise that an active police presence can deter criminals. My problem is that African Americans and Hispanics are being singled out disproportionately for these arbitrary searches. Bloomberg says this is because most violent crime occurs in black and Hispanic neighborhoods, with black and Hispanic victims. By all means, police should continue walking and cruising these beats. But the numbers indicate that African Americans and Hispanics are being given too much stop-andfrisk scrutiny - and that whites are being given too little. According to an analysis by the New York Civil Liberties Union, blacks and Hispanics who are stopped are more likely than whites to be frisked. But just 2 percent of blacks and Hispanics who are frisked are discovered to be carrying weapons, while 4 percent of whites who are frisked have weapons. So if the aim is to find illegal guns, police should frisk more whites. Why such fuss over a few minutes of inconvenience and indignity? Because blacks and Hispanics who come into contact with the criminal justice system for any reason are more likely to be arrested, charged and convicted than whites and are likely to serve longer prison sentences. More than 26,000 stops were made last year for alleged marijuana offenses, for example; 61 percent were of African Americans and only 9 percent were of whites. But surveys show that whites are equally or more likely than blacks to be marijuana users. Police don't find white potheads because they're not looking for them. We know that nationwide, according to federal figures, African Americans are four times as likely as whites to be arrested, charged and imprisoned for minor drug offenses. Once young black and Hispanic men enter the criminal justice system, too often they become trapped in a loop of incarceration, release, unemployment and recidivism. On the national level, Holder has taken direct aim at this vicious cycle with the announcement last week that low-level, nonviolent drug offenders will no longer face federal charges that carry long mandatory prison sentences. Holder is giving new instructions to federal prosecutors and also supporting legislation that has received bipartisan support in the Senate, where some conservatives now see excessive prison terms as a waste of money. "We need to ensure that incarceration is used to punish, to deter and to rehabilitate, not merely to warehouse and to forget," Holder said in a speech to the American Bar Association. President Obama is expected to make prison reform one of his priorities this fall. Ending the presumption that African American and Hispanic men are beyond redemption would be a powerful legacy for the first black president and the first black attorney general to leave behind. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom

Reconnecting Rivers: Natural Channel Design in Dam Removals and Fish Passage documents river restoration and reconnection projects that have helped restore stream health and connectivity. It was written to provide practitioners and citizens with
- An overview of the impacts of dams on stream systems. Impacts include reservoir sedimentation, channel degradation, water quality effects, socioeconomic and cultural effects, and blockage of fish migrations.(Introduction) (5.8mb)
- River restoration approaches. River management approaches include dam removal and river restoration in sediment-laden reservoirs (Chapter 1) (8mb) and nature-like fishways including rock ramps or rapids (e.g. Rock Arch Rapids) and by-pass fishways (Chapter 2) (18mb).
Case examples and 43 Project Briefs (Appendix) (42mb) are provided to illustrate the technical and social problems that may be encountered in such projects. A full bibliography (164kb) that lists important reference material is also included. River restoration is a relatively new science and there may be inherent controversy involved in dams and river management. This publication aids in addressing these concerns and provides a vision for river management alternatives.

Posts Tagged Karachi Sightseeing
Karachi's Foremost Attractions
Posted by mehwish9 in General, Grammar, Pakistan, Pakistani Tourism, To Do, Top Tourists Destination, Tourism on April 10, 2012
Karachi is one of the major cities of Pakistan which is not only a traditional and cultural center but also a business hub. At the same time, it has a number of tourist's attractions like waterfront, parks, museums, harbors and historical structures as well. For the past few years, tourism industry in Karachi has suffered a lot due to terrorism but still it is capable of attracting a number of people towards its wonderful tourist's places. Some of its major attractions include:
Mohatta Palace Museum
This building was constructed between 1933 and 1935 and is named after its founder Shivratan, Chandratan, Mohatta. This palace was originally constructed to be used as a residence of Fatima Jinnah who was sister of Founder of Pakistan, Mohammad Ali Jinnah but at present it is being used as a museum which displays relics and things of ceramic art which have been collected over centuries. This museum also houses a number of memorabilia of British reign in Pakistan and is featured with the letters written by famous personalities of pre-partition period along with their pictures. Portraits of some freedom fighters are also displayed here along with the car used by Mr. Jinnah.
Mazar-e-Quaid is another popular and most visited tourists' attractions of Karachi which is actually tomb of founding father of Pakistan Mohammad Ali Jinnah. It is located in the center of city and attracts tourists due to its wonderful and unique construction. It has been built with pure white marble and is featured with curved arches of Moorish origin. Within the tomb, there is a four-layered chandelier that is made of crystal and was rewarded by Chinese people to give a royal and refined look. A park encircles the tomb building featured with powerful lights which make the structure prominent in night. Mazar-e-Quaid also houses graves of Fatima Jinnah and first prime minister of Pakistan-Liaquat Ali Khan.
National Museum of Pakistan
National Museum of Pakistan was founded on April 17, 1950 and main motto of the museum was to study and preserve art and cultural heritage of this nation. The museum consists of 11 galleries and the most popular among these is Quran Gallery. Museum also possesses more than 300 transcripts of Quran among which 52 are holographs and are displayed in Quran Gallery. Here in this museum, tourists can also see sculptural work related to Gandhara Civilization, Indus Civilization and Islamic art old coins etc. In Ethnological Gallery, there are statues of cultural groups which are absolutely worth-seeing. Moreover, more than 58000 coins and 70000 books have been preserved in this museum.
Clifton Beach
Clifton Beach is a pleasant site to be visited as it features an amusement park, stalls, camel and horse riding facilities and several options for swimming. Small shops at the beach display handicrafts and gifts made of sea shells. Visitors especially come here at night to see the beautiful fountain that has been built on the sea. It has been made very beautifully by using white lights and it is considered to be the tallest fountain jetting out sea water. Amusement park in this area features a bowling alley and an aquarium and Oyster Island can also be viewed from Clifton Beach.
Being the main coastal town, Kemari is a small but busy harbor of Karachi that provides opportunity of fishing and sightseeing boats and launches. Some must visit attractions in Kemari include a light house and the fort. While sailing along the sea coast, one can travel towards east to see Mangroves, waterfowl and fishing villages and going till Indus National Delta Park provides a chance to see water flowing in large quantity.
Aladdin Park
It is the largest kids' theme park in the whole province which includes Play Land Hill Park, Sindbad DHA Park Fun Land, Karachi Zoo Samzu Park and The Great Fiesta Cozy Water Park. Aladdin Park has a shopping center and a play ground. PIA Airlines has also set up a planetarium in Karachi which provides to see images of whole sky with professional telescopes. The Great Fiesta provides exciting and thrilling water slides for young and adults alike. It also includes an Artificial Beach, Lazy River and Hurricane Wave Pool for enjoyment of people.
These were some of the major tourists' places of Karachi. Visit them and enjoy your holidays at a wonderful place.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The U.S. dollar slumped against other major currencies on Friday as investors showed a growing appetite for stocks, reducing the safe-haven appeal of the greenback.
The ICE dollar index
"It's a softer dollar environment, because you've seen equities in general up five days in a row, and it's a positive risk environment. Within that space, the euro has done better than most," said Simon Smith, chief economist at FxPro.
The dollar is generally seen as a haven currency, which tends to decline when investors feel more optimistic and are more willing to buy riskier assets. That was the case on Friday, as European stocks posted their best weekly performance in nearly a year and U.S. stocks also rallied in a shortened trading session.

Build your own city and be a mayor to many citizens. Develop the best strategy to make your city grow and rake in the money for your city treasury.
The browser game Rising Cities requires strategic planning and decision-making. Show that you have what it takes to be mayor and master all the challenges that come with developing a city. It's your job to transform a country field into a booming metropolis and to take care of your city and manage it. As a building sim, Rising Cities incorporates all the elements of a modern strategy game: Think ahead and plan for the long term!
Manage your city and look after your citizens. Build homes for your inhabitants, collect rent money, raise taxes and keep your citizens provided with goods and wares. Beautify your city for your citizens and find out what they need. A good mayor makes sure the public is happy by providing them with enough supplies, green spaces and recreational attractions.
Industry drives the economy.
Raw materials are required for every building project. Pick out the best spots to build industry, but keep in mind, nobody likes living next to a coal-fired power plant. Strike a happy balance between residential areas, green spaces, industrial districts and trading zones.
Trade economically and decide which investments are best for your city. Make sure you have a well-structured infrastructure. Trade your manufactured goods or buy unavailable goods on the marketplace. Be clever and use smart tactics. Manage your resources efficiently and make the right decisions to amass wealth. Rising Cities is an economic simulation for clever minds as well as for aspiring strategists.
You can also play Rising Cities with your friends as a multiplayer game. Who has the best city, the happiest citizens, the most supplies and resources? Seek trade relations with other mayors and help your city prosper and make fortunes. You are the mayor and you alone decide what is best for your city!
Just like all other brower games from Bigpoint, Rising Cities is free to play. Simply create your account and before you know it, you'll be playing. Become an international super mayor!
