Before it became China's capital in 1949, Beijing was a fairly provincial little city of 2 million people.
Today, it has grown into a megalopolis of some 18 million people.
I've recently returned to the city after a few years away, the first thing that strikes me is: Who the heck are all of these 20-somethings and how did they get to be driving all these Ferraris and Maseratis?
Looking crisp and official in his khaki-colored sheriff's department polo shirt, Steve Steinhardt says Sheboygan, Wis., is a pretty good place to be a director of emergency services.
"Nothing bad happens here," he says, knocking on wood. Unless, that is, you count the tuberculosis outbreak that struck the orderly Midwestern city of 50,000 this spring and summer.
"I never expected TB to be one of the bigger emergencies I'd face when I got into this field," Steinhardt says.

Estonia's capital, Tallinn, is considered one of the world's leading "smart" cities, where the government and businesses alike rely heavily on computer technology.
But one group in the Estonian capital is using the Internet for something completely different: an online forum that markets good deeds.

Article ID: 2537605 - View products that this article applies to. Not sure what release of Office 365 you're using? Go to the following Microsoft website: Am I using Office 365 after the service upgrade?
PROBLEMConsider the following scenario. A user uses an "email as sign in" (EASI) account or a custom domain as his or her Microsoft account to sign in to Microsoft services. For example, the user uses email@example.com. The domain in the user's Microsoft account is the same as the domain that Microsoft Office 365 uses. In this scenario, the user tries to sign in to Microsoft Messenger or Skype. However, the user can't use his or her current Microsoft account to sign in to either Messenger or Skype. Instead, the user is forced to change his or her Microsoft account so that it uses a different domain. SOLUTIONTo resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:
This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
This issue occurs because of the way that the session initiation protocol (SIP) services are advertised. The Office 365 and Messenger environments can coexist if PIC or External Communications is disabled for the Office 365 domain. However, if PIC or External Communications is enabled for the Office 365 domain, the Office 365 domain becomes the authoritative SIP domain and hosts the service. Therefore, when a user tries to sign in to Messenger or Skype, the Microsoft account service recognizes that Office 365 controls the domain namespace and requires the user to change his or her Microsoft account to use a different domain.

Bright Holiday Ideas
The Object Design League, working with Pavilion Antiques, is opening a pop-up design store in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood. Opening the day after Thanksgiving, the shop, called Worth Your Salt, will feature pieces by 19 American designers, including lighting, accessories, jewelry, and household items. The designs explore themes of "industriousness and play" according to a statement from the league. Craighton Berman's Coil Lamp, for examples, is made from a single electrical cord wrapped around a nearly invisible frame in the form of an everyday table-top light. Click through for a preview of a few of the objects that will be offered. Read More
City Stunts
A new exhibition at the Graham Foundation's Madlener House puts urban residents on notice: engage your community, become amateur planners, designers, and architects. Actions: What You Can Do with the City was organized and curated by the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal and seeks to challenge traditional planning's organization of the built environment into work, residential, and leisure zones. The exhibition is composed of 99 actions, "common activities such as walking, playing, recycling, and gardening that are pushed beyond their usual definition by the international architects, artists, and collectives featured in the exhibition." The actions range from cheeky solutions to lying down on hostile benches (Action #38) to sensible maps of how and where to forage for urban fruits and vegetables (Action #9). Read More
Eavesdrop MW 01
Word on the street is that Chicago's modern design auctioneer extraordinaire Richard Wright and Philip Johnson Glass House executive director Christy MacLear have been spending time together. That's a lot of design obsession for one relationship, we're just sayin'. Moreover, what about the poor flooded Farnsworth House? Wright, it seems, prefers to rendezvous at the imitation over the original, even as its water-stained furniture is being restored. Richard—your hometown needs you! (OK, so the Glass House is actually older than Farnsworth, but we all know Johnson borrowed his best ideas.) Read More
AIC Adds Architecture Curator
Another sign of the growing importance of the Art Institute of Chicago's Architecture and Design Department, the museum announced the appointment Alison Fisher as assistant curator. Fisher, who will focus on the department's historical collection, joins department chair Joe Rosa, and curator Zoe Ryan, who has been building the department's contemporary design collection. The department, which now boasts the country's largest architecture and design galleries, is working on a major exhibition on Bertrand Goldberg, among other shows. Fisher previously served as a curatorial fellow at the Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University and she is completing a doctorate in art history at Northwestern.
Broad Shoulders, Big Ideas
Big. Bold. Visionary: Chicago Considers the Next Century, another event commemorating the Burnham Plan Centennial, taps local architects, planners, and landscape architects to envision the ideal Windy City of the future. Some designers took a creative and sometimes whimsical approach, while others offered up more practical concepts. Read More
An Olympic Conundrum for Chicago
We've been following Chicago's Olympic bid rather closely of late, and not only because we're on the way to inaugurating a Midwest edition of the paper. First, there was SOM's intriguing proposal to create "sustainable," "low-impact" Olympics that would have few legacy costs by using temporary facilities, an approach the IOC apparently favored. Then there was the impact of that plan, which still called for the demolition of some buildings—as well as hundreds of trees in Washington Park—most notably at the Walter Gropius-designed Michael Reese hospital campus. Outcry from preservationists led the city to delay demolition, which made time for the preservationists to develop alternative plans. Olympic opponents may be catching another break now, as, ironically enough, the very things the IOC purportedly liked about Chicago's bid-lite may also be its undoing. Read More
On Plastic Plants
There is a lot to like about Chicago's Quincy Court, an alley turned public space outside the Mies van der Rohe-designed Dirksen Federal Building that opened this summer. The General Services Administration (GSA) initiated the project to help beef up security around the federal campus, and they can certainly be praised for hiring a design firm to reimagine the space, in this case Rios Clementi Hale of Los Angeles, instead of just bolting a bunch of bollards into the ground. And while the design has a certain whimsy, which may appeal to some, we're having a hard time getting over the giant plastic palms. Read More
Elevated Extensions
On Wednesday, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) approved a plan to extend the Red, Yellow, and Orange L lines. The vote clears the way for the CTA to pursue federal funding for the line extensions. Read More
Last Gasp for Gropius?
The demolition of the Michael Reese hospital campus in Chicago, partially designed by Walter Gropius, has been put on hold until after October 2, when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will announce the host city for the 2016 Games. Preservation groups are pushing for adaptive reuse of some of the buildings, but the city is determined to clear the site for either an Olympic Village or for private development. The delay, then, probably does not signal a victory for preservationists. It is more likely a calculated move on the part of the city and Chicago 2016 to quiet opposition until after the IOC makes its decision.
Landscape Architects to Invade Chicago
In spite of the down economy, on Wednesday, the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) released an official statement that cited an increased number of registrants for this year's Landscape Architecture Meeting and Expo in Chicago. Read More
The Ledge
In our pilot Midwest issue, I wrote about The Ledge, a new viewing platform at the Sears Tower (now Willis Tower) in Chicago. At the time, only renderings were available of the SOM-designed all-glass cubes that protrude off of the tower's west face, and the project was expected to open in mid June. Well, it appears that the dizzying new viewing experience is now accepting visitors, as a whole rash of pictures have popped up on flickr. Among them is the above image, which reminds us that sometimes the highest achievement that architecture can aspire to is to fuel the dreams of a child.
Class of 09: Will Work for Green Design
Friend of AN Ryan Lafollette sends this dispatch from the Windy City.
Recent graduates of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's (SAIC) architecture and design programs are facing a challenging job market. For those employers looking for new talent, as well as for enthusiasts of design who couldn't make it to the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan, SAIC's department of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects is currently showing its graduate design exhibition, Making Modern.

The three leading candidates are all making plans on how to finish off this country during their term... The bottom line... If you want insurance pay for it... If you don't the quit complaining about not having it provided to you for free... Nothing in life is free and we all learn that at a young age. Everyone pays for their own auto insurance, what's next having the govt provide that too??? Where did this entitlement mantality come from??? Me personally I pay for my own care because it's cheaper than paying the premiums. Surprisingly when your provider knows you're paying for it, it becomes much cheaper... surprise surprise!!!!! |

You see, I'm not saying that the government (which is all of us) should pay for health insurance for every American, I believe that we (the government) should do EXACTLY what you're doing for the BASIC CARE of all Americans, and that's pay the healthcare providers for the services they render, and because we are all paying for it, they must keep their costs within reason and if they don't they can't operate. We can still provide "insurance" to anyone that wants it. It can provide all kinds of higher levels of care than the basic care that we would all be paying for (so we would pay for everyone's Geo Metro level of care, and you can buy Mercedes care if you want it). You choose not to have insurance at all. That's a fine choice for you. That's not so practical for some people, who may have different health conditions or healthcare needs than you. It's a great thing that you have not become seriously ill, or catastrophically ill. I hope that your life continues that way for a long time, but the fact is that you will be hospitalized one day, sooner or later, for a serious illness or injury. I hope that you have plenty of money in the bank. When my wife was diagnosed with cancer even my insurance didn't cover the cost, and I couldn't pay for it with what I earned. I'm curious though as to what you stand to lose if that happened to you without insurance. Do you own a home? You'll lose that. Are you trying to raise a family? You won't be able to afford that. Do you own a Jeep? Consider it gone. Think about it. |

The federal govt has no business being in the business of providing healthcare. They're there to provide defense, etc... that glue the US together as a whole. Your local community (state, county, city) always has the option to tack on healthcare if it's deemed necessary by the needs driven by that community. You feel fine giving, but that should be your choice. When you force people to pay for others, then you become a socialist.

"How to educate the right on why govt is good? Not just the right, but those darn libertarians too, they are worse, almost. What would be best, and now we are talking about the average middle to lower income person who is either staunch Republican or Libertarian, is to eliminate all state and federal programs, including but not limited to Medicare, Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, State Disability, School Lunches, GI Bill, Student Loans, Welfare and Food Stamps, SBA Loans, Head Start, Low Income Energy Assistance Program, Child & Adult Food Care Program, Federal Housing Assistance, State Childrens Health Insurance Program, Medicaid, Temporary Assistance For Needy Families, Child Protection/Foster Care and Adoption services, and more... AND every govt entity like FAA, FDA, etc., no more requirement of health insurance on the job, no more Work Comp, no more govt entities monitoring abuses of employees or production of unsafe products... Secondly, reduce tax rates on the wealthy to next to nothing, which is their goal, turn all govt work to the public sector... Then, watch as these very same and libertarians go nuts when they find out there isnt a single safety net to fall back on, now that they are working for $5 an hour with no benefits, which is what would happen if govt allowed corp to do whatever they wanted, period...it is so obvious and such a case of common sense, but some folks have to find out the hard way. I say lets do it for a couple of years, then we wont have to listen to this crap anymore... " I couldn't agree more Be careful what you wish for. You might get it. |

And I would be perfectly fine with most of those programs disappearing. And there are state programs noted there... those programs are acceptable, as long as the voting public in that state are fine with it. Do you honestly believe that on the job health insurance and all that other bullshit would disappear if the federal govt was trimmed down to more reasonable proportions? Many of us aren't advocating tax cuts to the rich... I advocate tax cuts to everyone. I'm advocating people work in some way to fucking support themselves though, unless they're legitimately not able to. "be careful what you wish for"... I say, let's do it... and bring it on. I'm ready... I've never relied on the government for anything, and don't intend to any time soon. I've been unemployed, and I did NOT collect unemployment.

I find it amazing how the same people who are advocating that the government is controlling too much of our lives (Patriot Act, etc..) and stepping on our liberties, are the same people who advocate MORE government programs. The history of abuses of just about any federal plan alone should be enough to convince you that smaller federal government is the way to go.
DISCLAIMER: although I mention the Patriot Act, I am no supporter of it. If you plan to use my statement against me for that, realize that you're a moron for doing so. It's just an example

Come up with a real argument. Perhaps you can sensationalize further, and come up with some more fuzzy logic statistics to prove your point.

I'm not trying to fight with you or prove you wrong or anything like that. I'm just trying to say that it is highly unlikely that you will find even a small group of people that agree on exaclty which functions should remain and to what extent, so we have to try to find some metric by which to measure "the government" to determine what is worth preserving and what is not. I have a few suggestions, but would love to hear some others: 1. As long as the benefit is proportional to the cost. 2. That it prevents "likely" injury (not this frivolous bullshit, from hot coffee lawsuits to ridiculous speeding tickets on open highways with no cross traffic when you're only doing 10 over). 3. That it protects the well being of our children, and their children, etc. I could go on, but I'd like to hear your ideas. |

Grumpy old man.
Thank you for pointing out the problem with our health care system. While I do not particularly want to see a half a million people out of work I also don't think I should have to help support a half a million people just to be able to go see a doctor. What do all those people do that enhances my medical care?

One thing I hate about our "insurance" based health care system is that health insurance, like all insurance, is basically a lottery ticket that only pays off if something bad happens. Healthy people get little from the system, it's the unhealthy that benefit. |

Its funny though because even though these plans are a move in the right direction in lowering insurance premiums, many liberals are against them because they "discriminate". The fat person that never works out, eats like shit, and then has a major health issue is going to have to pay more and the liberals don't like that... for whatever crazy reason. Alot of these plans are getting all kinds of flak right now from politicians, but employer groups are buying them up because of the cost savings and good coverage! We know from years of claims information that 20% of people cause 80% or more of healthcare costs. Think about that and ask yourself if its fair that the other 80% of people are paying for that?

You name one thing the government has ever run properly and i will send you a box of coookies Lets go over failurs of government intervnetion that have fucked us to this day: FEDERAL RESERVE: created in 1913 to help off set panics- 1929 stock market crash. To this day the government still uses the fed to print money without reason. The FED answers to NO ONE BUT IT SELF. INCOME TAX: Passed as the 16th amendment without a 2/3rd's vote of the states, allowing the government to illegally dip their hand into pay checks penalizing hard working americans without any say. SOCIAL SECURITY: FDR creates this program to allow older americans to have funds and engage in socialed retirement. 1963, LBJ uses money set aside in social security to pay for the least favored american war, Vietnam. Originally intended for 16 people to work for 1 retiree, the system is so broke that 2 people are working to support one. COMING SOON: socialized medicine. Positive instalations of government: uhh the postal service interstate act of 1956 war with iraq? nope umm Stimulus package....? regulations on food. hmmmm yea, these seem a little less important then the big screw ups. Come on, we aren't screaming anarchy just how much intervention of government do you really want in your life until they are wiping your ass and telling you what you can watch or what you think. |

With the full cooperation of the Jordan estate, The Eye of the World has been turned into a stunning comic book series written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Chase Conley. The first Robert Jordan graphic novel, New Spring: the Graphic Novel, was a New York Times bestseller.
The Eye of the World: The Graphic Novel, Volume One begins Robert Jordan's epic fantasy tale by introducing Rand al'Thor and his friends Matrim and Perrin at the spring festival. Moiraine Damodred and Lan Mandragoran appear, and almost before Rand knows it, he and his friends are fleeing his home village with Moiraine, Lan, and Egwene al'Vere, the innkeeper's daughter, who wishes to become an Aes Sedai. The conclusion of this volume leaves the travelers on the road to Baerlon, barely ahead of the pursuing Trollocs and Draghkar. As they run for their lives, Moiraine and Lan begin to teach the young people what they need to know to survive in this dangerous world.

"Brilliant storytelling choices and respectful treatment of Jordan's world. Conley recreates the rich visual and cultural tapestry of Jordan's series. He excels in communicating the tone and mood of a scene. The Eye of the World continues to be a series of genuine passion, technical virtuosity, and grand, epic adventure." —Broken Frontier on The Eye of the World comic book
ROBERT JORDAN was born in 1948 in Charleston, South Carolina. He taught himself to read when he was four with the incidental aid of a twelve-years-older brother, and was tackling Mark Twain and Jules Verne by five. He is a graduate of The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, with a degree in physics. He served two tours in Vietnam with the U.S. Army; among his decorations are the Distinguished Flying Cross with bronze oak leaf cluster, the Bronze Star with "V" and bronze oak leaf cluster, and two Vietnamese Gallantry Crosses with palm. A history buff, he has also written dance and theater criticism and enjoyed the outdoor sports of hunting, fishing, and sailing, and the indoor sports of poker, chess, pool, and pipe collecting.Robert Jordan began writing in 1977 and went on to write The Wheel of Time®, one of the most important and best selling series in the history of fantasy publishing with over 14 million copies sold in North America, and countless more sold abroad.Robert Jordan died on September 16, 2007, after a courageous battle with the rare blood disease amyloidosis.
CHUCK DIXON has written for DC, Marvel, and most other major comics publishers. Considered one of the best writers of Batman of the last decade, Dixon worked closely with Robert Jordan on the graphic adaptation of New Spring and with Jordan's estate on The Eye of the World graphic novel.
CHASE CONLEY is the penciller and inker for The Eye of the World comic book and graphic novel.

Very much so. We did extensive back to back temperature sensor testing originally with aluminum base plates vs injection molded plastic and a myriad of other composites and found the intake temperatures with aluminum to be as much higher as 50 deg or more F as aluminum is a natural heat soak. This was unacceptable and we found great results with the Super Tough Nylon second gen.
Almost all intakes these days are made from Nylon plastic for this exact reason and moving forward we found numerous reasons to use Nylon with the additional benefit of weight savings and a factory fit and finish. We will post a video in a few moments showing the proper technique to fit the filter. It is very simple when done correctly with just 2 fingers.

Languages of Pakistan include two official languages, Urdu and English, and regional languages, Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, Balochi, Kashmiri, Brahui, Shina, Balti, Khowar and Burushaski. Most of the languages of Pakistan belong to the Indo-Iranian group of the Indo-European language family.

National language: Urdu
Urdu (اردو) is the national language (قومی زبان), lingua franca and one of two official languages of Pakistan (the other being English). Although only about 8% of Pakistanis speak it as their first language, it is spoken and understood as a second language by almost all Pakistanis. Its introduction as the lingua franca was encouraged by the British upon the capitulation and annexation of Sindh (1843) and Punjab (1849) with the subsequent ban on the use of Persian. The decision to make the language change was to institute a universal language throughout the then British Raj in South Asia as well as minimize the influence of Persia, the Ottoman Empire, Afghanistan and Central Asia on this transitional region. Urdu is a relatively new language in the contemporary sense but has undergone considerable modifications and development borrowing heavily on the traditions of older languages like Persian, Arabic, Turkish and local South Asian languages all of which can be found in its vocabulary. According to the linguistic historian Tariq Rahman, however, the oldest name of what is now called Urdu is Hindustani or Hindvi and it existed in some form at least from the 14th century if not earlier (Rahman 2011). It was probably the language of the area around Delhi that absorbed words of Persian and Arabic and, to a much lesser extent, Turkish—the same process that created modern English. This language, according to Rahman, is the ancestor of both modern Hindi and Urdu. These became two distinct varieties when Urdu was first Persianized in the 18th century and then Hindi was Sanskritized from 1802 onwards.
The name Urdu is a short form of 'Zuban-e-Urdu-e-Mualla' i.e. language of the exalted city. In India the term Urdu, although it means 'military camp' in Turkish, was used for the capital city of the king. In other words, the language of the king's capital was a Persianized form of the language usually called Hindi. This was shortened to 'Urdu' and this term was used for the first time in written records by the poet Mushafi in 1780 (Rahman 2011: 49). The British called this language 'Hindustani' and wrote it in both the Perso-Arabic and the Devanagari script. It is widely used, both formally and informally, for personal letters as well as public literature, in the literary sphere and in the popular media. It is a required subject of study in all primary and secondary schools. It is the first language of most Muhajirs (Muslim refugees who fled from different parts of India after independence of Pakistan in 1947), who form nearly 8% of Pakistan's population, and is an acquired language. As Pakistan's national language, Urdu has been promoted to promote national unity. It is written with a modified form of the Perso-Arabic alphabet—usually in Nastaliq script—and its basic Hindustani vocabulary has been enriched by words from Persian, Arabic, Turkic languages and English. Urdu has drawn inspiration from Persian literature and has now an enormous stock of words from that language.
In recent years, the Urdu spoken in Pakistan has gradually been influenced by many of the native languages, such as Pashto, Punjabi and Sindhi, in terms of intonation, as well the incorporation of terminology from those languages. As such, the language is constantly developing and has acquired a particularly "Pakistani" flavour that distinguishes it from the language spoken in ancient times and in India. The first poetry in the ancestor of Urdu-Hindi is attributed to Baba Farid Ganj Shakar of Pakpattan (1175-1265), or the Persian poet Amir Khusro (1253–1325), but, since the actual writing of the manuscripts is of a later date, this cannot be said with certainty. Lines in what may be understood as Urdu are scattered in the Persian biographies and conversations of saints (Rahman 2011: 61-65) and the first book of Pashto Khairul Bayan, probably written by Bayazid Ansari between 1560 to 1570, has some pages in the Perso-Arabic script that is written in this language. The image of these pages is displayed by Rahman in his book From Hindi to Urdu (2011: 134-135). The Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir (1658–1707) spoke Urdu (or Hindustani) fluently—as did his descendants—while his ancestors mostly spoke Persian and Turkish.citation needed
Provincial languages
Life in Pakistan |
Punjabi (پنجابی) is spoken as a first language by more than 44% of Pakistanis, mostly in Punjab. The exact numbers of Punjabi speakers in Pakistan is difficult to ascertain since there are many dialects, such as Saraiki and Hindko which some regard as part of Punjabi and others regard as a separate language. If both included then 60% population speaks Punjabi which is the exact population proportion of Punjab province to overall country population. The standard Punjabi dialect is from Lahore, Sialkot, Gujranwala and Sheikhupura districts of the Pakistani Punjab which was used by Waris Shah (1722–1798) in his famous book Heer Ranjha and is also nowadays the language of Punjabi literature and music.
Punjabi is descended from Prakrit in the Vedic period (1700 B.C.), Pali, Old Persian and Apabhramsha in the Ashoka period (273 B.C. - 232 B.C.) and Hindvi, Lahori and Multani in the Muslim period (711 A.D. - 1857 A.D.). Punjabi literature was principally spiritual in nature and has had a very rich oral tradition.
Pashto (پښتو) is spoken as a first language by 15.5% (c. 29 million) of Pakistanis, mainly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and in northern Balochistan as well as in ethnic Pashtun communities in the cities of Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Lahore. Karachi is one of the most Pashto speaking cities in the world although Pashto speakers constitute only about 25% of the city's population.1 Pashto is also widely spoken in neighboring Afghanistan where it has official language status.
Pashto has rich written literary traditions as well as an oral tradition. There are two major dialect patterns within which the various individual dialects may be classified; these are Pakhto, which is the Northern (Peshawar) variety, and the softern Pashto spoken in the southern areas. Khushal Khan Khattak (1613–1689) and Rahman Baba (1633–1708) were famous poets in the Pashto language. In the last part of 20th century, Pakhto or Pashto has produced some great poets like Ghani Khan, Khatir Afridi and Amir Hamza Shinwari. They are not included in the overall percentage.
Sindhi (سنڌي) is spoken as a first language by 15.5% of Pakistanis, mostly in Sindh, parts of Balochistan, Southern Punjab and Balochistan. It has a rich literature and is taught in schools. It is an Indo-Aryan (Indo-European) language, derived from Sanskrit, and Arabic languages. The Arabs ruled Sindh for more than 150 years after Muhammad bin Qasim conquered it in 712 AD, remaining there for three years to set up Arab rule. Consequently, the social fabric of Sindh contains elements of Arabic society. Sindhi is spoken by over 53.4 million people in Pakistan and some 5.8 million in India as well as some 2.6 million in other parts of the world. It is the official language of Sindh province and is one of the scheduled languages officially recognized by the federal government in India. It is widely spoken in the Lasbela District of Balochistan (where the Lasi tribe speaks a dialect of Sindhi), many areas of the Naseerabad, Rahim Yar Khan and Dera Ghazi Khan districts in Sindh and Jafarabad districts of Balochistan, and by the Sindhi diaspora abroad. Sindhi language has six major dialects: Sireli, Vicholi, Lari, Thari, Lasi and Kachhi. It is written in the Arabic script with several additional letters to accommodate special sounds. The largest Sindhi-speaking cities are Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Shikarpur, Dadu, Jacobabad, Larkana and Nawabshah. Sindhi literature is also spiritual in nature. Shah Abdul Latif Bhita'i (1689–1752) is one of its greatest poets, and wrote Sassi Punnun and Umar Marvi, folk stories, in his famous book "Shah Jo Risalo".
Balochi (بلوچی) is spoken as a first language by about 4% of Pakistanis, mostly in Balochistan province. It is believed that the language was brought to its present location in a series of migrations from the Kurdistan region of northeastern Iraq and northwestern Iran. Rakshani is the major dialect group in terms of numbers. Sarhaddi is a sub-dialect of Rakshani. Other sub-dialects are Kalati (Qalati), Chagai-Kharani and Panjguri. Eastern Hill Balochi or Northern Balochi is very different from the rest. Balochi language is very close to the Persian itself. The name Balochi or Baluchi is not found before the 10th Century. It is one of the 9 distinguished languages of Pakistan. Since Balochi is a very poetic and rich language and has a certain degree of affinity to Persian and Urdu, Balochi poets tend to be very good poets in Urdu as well and Ata Shaad, Gul Khan Nasir and Noon Meem Danish are excellent examples of this.
Regional languages
Kashmiri (كأشُر) is an ancient Dardic language spoken in Azad Kashmir, Gilgit–Baltistan and Punjab provinces of Pakistan. There are over 100,000 2 Kashmiri speakers in Pakistan.
Brahui (براھوی) is a Dravidian language of central and east-central Balochistan. The language has been influenced by neighboring Balochi and to a lesser extent by Sindhi and Pashto. 1–1.5% of the Pakistani population has Brahui as their first language. It is one of the nine distinguishedclarification needed languages of Pakistan.The Brahui people have traditionally been taken as a relict population, suggesting that Dravidian languages were formerly more widespread but were supplanted by the incoming Indo-Aryan languages.3 However, this idea has fallen out of favor; Brahui appears to have migrated to Balochistan from central India after 1000 CE, as evidenced by the absence of Avestan loanwords. The main Iranian contributor to Brahui vocabulary, Balochi, is a western Iranian language like Kurdish that moved to the area from the west only around 1000 CE.4
Hindko (ہندکو) name is derived from Hindukush mountains" is mainly spoken in this mountain range in the districts of Haripur, Abbottabad, Mansehra, Peshawar, Kohat, Nowshera, Swabi, the lower half of Neelum District and Muzafarabad District of Kashmir by an estimated 2.2 to 4 million people.citation needed. It is very similar to northern dialects of Punjabi
Shina (شینا) (also known as Tshina) is a Dardic language spoken by a plurality of people in Gilgit–Baltistan of Pakistan. The valleys in which it is spoken include Astore, Chilas, Dareil, Tangeer, Gilgit, Ghizer, and a few parts of Kohistan. It is also spoken in Gurez, Drass, Kargil, Karkit Badgam and Ladakh valleys of Kashmir. There were 321,000 speakers of Gilgiti Shina in 1981. Current estimate is nearly 600,000 people.
Saraiki (سرائیکی) is spoken in southern Punjab,which comprises Multan, Lodhran, Bahawalpur,Bhakkar, Layyah, Dera Ghazi Khan, Muzaffargarh and Rahim Yar Khan districts. It is also spoken by majority of population of Dera Ismail Khan district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (خیبر پښتونخوا) province, kachi plain of Balochistan, northern parts of Sindh, and also spoken by few people in the cities of Hyderabad and Karachi. More than 18 million Saraiki live in Pakistan, and nearly 100 thousand Saraiki live in other countries specially India, UAE and Saudi Arab.5
Other languages
English (official language)
English is one of the official languages of Pakistan (the other being Urdu) and is widely used in the executive, legislative and judicial branches as well as to some extent in the officer ranks of Pakistan's armed forces. Pakistan's Constitution and laws are written in English. It is also widely used in schools, colleges and universities as a medium of instruction. Amongst the more educated social circles of Pakistan, English is seen as the language of upward mobility and its use is becoming more prevalent in upper social circles often spoken alongside native Pakistani languages. For details of the history of the English language in India and Pakistan see Rahman (2002).
Arabic (religious language)
Arabic (عربي) is the religious language of Muslims. The Quran, Sunnah, Hadith and Muslim theology is taught in Arabic with Urdu translation. The Pakistani diaspora living in the Middle East has further increased the number of people who can speak Arabic in Pakistan. Arabic is taught as a religious language in mosques, schools, colleges, universities and madrassahs. A majority of Pakistan's Muslim population has had some form of formal or informal education in the reading, writing and pronunciation of the Arabic language as part of their religious education.
Persian (literary language)
Persian (فارسی) was the language of Muslims in South Asia before the advent of the British and was the official and cultural language of the Mughal Empire. Persian was officially abolished from the region with the arrival of the British: in Sindh in 1843 and in Punjab in 1849 to minimize the influence of the Mughal Empire. It is still spoken and understood by a few in Pakistan as a literary language. Many Persian speaking refugees from Afghanistan have settled in Pakistan permanently.
Turkic languages (literary language)
Turkic (ترک) languages were used by the ruling Turco-Mongols (or Mughals) and earlier Sultans of India many of whom have settled in Pakistan. There are pockets of Turkic speakers found throughout the country, notably in the valleys in the countries northern regions which lie adjacent to Central Asia, western Pakistani region of Waziristan principally around Kanigoram where the Burki tribe dwells and in Pakistan's urban centres of Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. The autobiography of Mughal emperor Babur, Tuzk Babari was also written in Turkish. After returning from exile in Safavid Persia in 1555, Mughal emperor Humayun introduced Persian language and culture in court and government. The Chaghatai language, in which Babur had written his memoirs, disappeared almost entirely from the culture of the courtly elite, and Mughal emperor Akbar could not speak it. Later in life, Humayun himself is said to have spoken in Persian verse more often than not.
Many Turkic speaking refugees, mostly Uzbeks and Turkmens, from Afghanistan have settled in Pakistan permanently.
The word Urdu is of Turkic origin, as Urdu was originally called Zaban-e-Ordu-e- Mualla or The language of the exalted city, ordu meaning army' in Turkish but the term is used for 'the King's city' or the capital of the ruler in India (Rahman 2011).
Minor languages
Other languages spoken by linguistic minorities include the languages listed below, with speakers ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands. A few are highly endangered languages that may soon have no speakers at all.6
Most of the languages of Pakistan belong to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. They are divided between two major groups: Indo-Aryan (the majority, including Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi, Hindko, and Saraiki, among others), and Iranian (including Pashto, Persian, Balochi, and Khowar, among others).
Some of the important languages in the Indo-Aryan group are dialect continuums. One of these is Lahnda,7 and includes Western Panjabi (but not the Panjabi of India and Pakistan), Northern Hindko, Southern Hindko, Khetrani, Saraiki, and Pahari-Potwari, plus two more languages outside of Pakistan. The other is Marwari, and includes Marwari of Pakistan and several languages of India (Dhundari, Marwari, Merwari, Mewari, and Shekhawati).8 A third is Rajasthani, and consists of Bagri, Gujari in Pakistan and several others in India: Gade Lohar,9 Harauti (Hadothi), Malvi, and Wagdi.
There are several dialects continuums in the Iranian group as well: Balochi, which includes Eastern, Western and Southern Balochi;10 Pashtun, and includes Northern, Central, and Southern Pashto;11 and Persian, which includes Western Farsi in Iran and Eastern Farsi in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The following three languages of Pakistan are not part of the Indo-European language family:
- Brahui (spoken in central Balochistan province) is a Dravidian language. Its vocabulary has been significantly influenced by Balochi.
- The Balti dialect of Ladakhi (spoken in an area of southern Gilgit–Baltistan) is a Tibetan language of the Tibeto-Burman language family12
- Burushaski (spoken in Hunza, Nagar, Yasin, and Ishkoman valleys in Gilgit–Baltistan) is a language isolate with no written script
Writing systems
All languages of Pakistan are written in Nastaʿlīq, a modified Perso-Arabic script. The Mughal Empire used Persian as the court language during their rule over South Asia. During this time, Nastaʿlīq came into widespread use in South Asia. The influence remains to this day. In Pakistan, almost everything in Urdu is written in the script, concentrating the greater part of Nastaʿlīq usage in the world.
After the Islamic conquest of Persia, Iranians adopted the Perso-Arabic script and the art of Persian calligraphy flourished in Iran alongside other Islamic countries. Apparently, Mir Ali Tabrizi (14th century) developed Nastaʿlīq by combining two existing scripts of Nasḫ and Taʿlīq. Hence, it was originally called Nasḫ-Taʿlīq. Another theory holds that the name means "that which abrogated (naskh) Taʿlīq".
Taʿlīq script, in Arabic calligraphy, cursive style of lettering developed in Iran in the 10th century. It is thought to have been the creation of Ḥasan ibn Ḥusayn ʿAlī of Fars, but, because Khwājah ʿAbd al-Malik Buk made such vast improvements, the invention is often attributed to him. The rounded forms and exaggerated horizontal strokes that characterize the taʿlīq letters were derived primarily from the Riqāʿ script. The ornateness and sloping quality of the written line had roots in the Tawqīʿ script of Ibn Muqlah (died 940).
Sindhi adopted a variant of the Persian alphabet as well, in the 19th century. The script is used in Pakistan today. It has a total of 52 letters, augmenting the Persian with digraphs and eighteen new letters (ڄ ٺ ٽ ٿ ڀ ٻ ڙ ڍ ڊ ڏ ڌ ڇ ڃ ڦ ڻ ڱ ڳ ڪ) for sounds particular to Sindhi and other Indo-Aryan languages. Some letters that are distinguished in Arabic or Persian are homophones in Sindhi.
The Urdu alphabet is the right-to-left alphabet used for the Urdu language. It is a modification of the Persian alphabet, which is itself a derivative of the Arabic alphabet. With 38 letters, the Urdu alphabet is typically written in the calligraphic Nasta'liq script, whereas Arabic is more commonly in the Naskh style.
Usually, bare transliterations of Urdū into Roman letters, Roman Urdu, omit many phonemic elements that have no equivalent in English or other languages commonly written in the Latin script.citation needed The National Language Authority of Pakistan has developed a number of systems with specific notations to signify non-English sounds, but these can only be properly read by someone already familiar with Urdū, Persian or Arabic for letters such as ژ خ غ ط ص or ق and Hindi for letters such as ڑ.citation needed
Balochi and Pashto are written in Perso-Arabic script.
The Shahmukhī script is a local variant of the Urdu alphabet, a modified Perso-Arabic script, which has been used by the Punjabi Muslims of Punjab to write Punjabi language.

Peatlands have been recognised for their high carbon storage and their potential to emit a huge amount of carbon emissions once they are drained. Their annual carbon emissions of 2 billion tonnes are a paramount issue in the global effort to mitigate climate change. However, the perilous and far-reaching consequences from peat drainage activities are not limited to carbon loss only. Another key concern that so far has been given insufficient attention is the issue of 'subsidence'.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Time Out says
Disney's first animated feature takes the Grimms' fairy-tale and turns it into a generally cute fantasy for American kids: Snow White herself might be felt to be almost unbearably winsome, and the anthropomorphic characterisation of the forest creatures soon becomes tiresome. But the animation itself is top-notch, and in a number of darker sequences (Snow White's terrified entry into the forest, for example), Disney's adoption of Expressionist visual devices makes for genuinely powerful drama. Ideologically, however, what remains most intersting, as one writer has noted, is the way Walt's obvious desire to promote the American Way (off to work we go, indeed!) is married - presumably unthinkingly - to a virtual celebration of polygamy in which, moreover, it is a woman, not a man, who lives with seven members of the opposite sex!Author: GA

"Nice business hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 5, 2013
Conviniently located in the business area of Zurich West, nearby a tram station. The hotel is well suited for business needs, although lacking a swimming pool and a larger fitness center that can be expected from other hotels in the price range. Room was medium sized, comfort was OK, although I prefer rooms with a bath tub. The main thing that was missing in the room was temperature control, sometimes it was a bit too cold.

"Quick One Night Stay in Zurich"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 19, 2013
The room was really comfortable and clean. The bathroom was a little cramped but in good condition. We had the corner room, so I'm not sure if our room was a little bit bigger than other rooms. We checked in really late and had to check out the next morning for a train trip to Lech...so we didn't really get to explore too much. We did walk to some nearby stores in the area, and it seemed like a cool area. The bar scene was hopping in the area when we were trying to locate the hotel the night before. We walked from the train station to the hotel, so that was a bit of a pain with our luggage even though it was pretty close. We didn't eat at the hotel or check out the lounge that they told us about so I can't speak to that. The beds were comfortable but the pillows need upgrading.
"Great for business, some tough nights sleep"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 18, 2012
Great location (was attending a conference at the Dolder Grand) and it's a short walk away. Staff very friendly, attentive and courteous. My only problem was that the room was very stuffy - no air circulation. I find it very hard to sleep in such a circumstance. When I opened the door to let in some air, I fell asleep promptly. Unfortunately, when you open the windows you hear a loud church bell that rings every hour throughout the night (and that rings for five minutes consecutively at 7:00am). I therefore slept very little my first two nights at the hotel.

This hotel was great. In a very walkable location about 20 minutes to the city center. Cool trendy neighborhood. Got a free room upgrade from a single to a queen bed with a Murphy bed (not necessary as I was staying by myself, but more space is always a good thing). Staff was very nice and knowledgeable. Contrary to other reviews, I did not find my room or the location in general to be noisy even though it was a Saturday night and the club downstairs had a dj. Room was clean and well equipped.

This Paris Building Has A Fluttering Origami Facade
In another hard-won triumph for contemporary architecture in Paris, a new building casts stone into bright and airy modernism.
Paris's urban center is a large set piece that's preened and preserved to look every bit like the City of Lights you see in the movies. Contemporary architects who break through have traditionally had to maneuver their modernist visions through strict building regulations, on everything from height to the angle of the roof pitch.
In the case of the "Origami" office building, it was the facade cladding that Manuelle Gautrand, the architect behind the project, had to defend. The building happens to be just off Place Charles de Gaulle, which means it stands in view of the Arc de Triomphe and other stately edifaces. "The location was challenging because of the proximity of many beloved buildings, and in a more general way the proximity of all the beautiful stone architecture made during Haussmann's period," Gautrand tells Co.Design.
Her design for the building, she said, had to conform to the street's policy of keeping a unified front. That is, the facade had to contain or incorporate sizable amounts of stone, a material that many of Gautrand's contemporaries are not well versed in.
But Gautrand, one of France's best architects, has experienced similar constraints before. Her renovation of Paris's famed Gaîté Lyrique theater, revamped as a center for digital art, saw the architect working deep inside the building. There, her intervention--a web of lasers, smoke, and sound--occupies the heart of the theater and is virtually invisible to the public outside. Conversely, the Origami office presents a lively addition to a well mannered, static street front.
To meet the stone quotient, the architect and her office designed a marble exoskeleton that projects from a vertical glazed wall. The marble was cut extremely thin and mounted on triangular panes of glass, arranged in an origami-like composition that filters southern light while shielding office spaces from the street. The results are a lyrical interpretation of the building's neighbors and, more generally, Haussmanian urbanism.
"The surrounding area is full of very decorative buildings, with a lot of ornament," says Gautrand. "We wanted to work with a sculpted filter, to create graphic shadows and to give a certain deepness to the whole façade, with several layers."
Her buildings are unique in that they are linked together not by stylistic affinities but by the inventive touch she brings to each. The Origami office is evidence of that, transforming what could have been set in stone into a forward-looking triumph of contemporary architecture.

This article incorrectly identifies this facade as extremely thin cut marble laminate on glass. The building's facade is in fact not marble but a screen print on glass.
Sketching initially at a blank paper, this french architect inspires us with wonderful exhibition masterpieces. Thanks for sharing.

Video: Military wives go topless for PTSD
Nashville, TN - It all started with just one picture and a Facebook post, and in a matter of months, it has grown to hundreds of pictures as women from around the world take off their tops to "Battle Bare."
Ashley Wise uses this eyeliner to bring attention to more than just her eyes. She pens the battling bare pledge on the back of army wife, Jennifer Brown, for a photo to add to the group's Facebook page.

Racy pin-up sparks complaint, investigation
"This is a pledge that you're making for your spouse that, in my opinion, is just as important as marriage vows." Wise says she came up with the pledge to battle bare out of desperation, which she said grew as she tried to get help for her husband at Fort Campbell for her husband, for PTSD.
"I felt like streaking the general's lawn, because then maybe a naked woman would get attention, and they wouldn't sweep me underneath the rug. I decided to, instead, do a photo campaign, and it's what I call a 'GOD moment' - pledge, picture. Ten minutes later, it was on Facebook."
This is the picture wise took, wearing her husband's hat and holding his gun, but wise said her husband was not her only inspiration.
"These are my husband's dog tags. They were found in his car when they retrieved his car and brought it back to me after they found my husband's body."
Alicia Mccoy's husband, Sgt. Brandon Mccoy committed suicide in March. She says her husband sought help for PTSD, but it wasn't enough.
"Our soldiers have a lot to say. They have a lot bottled up inside of them, and no one is listening. I feel like they are afraid to be able to say what they need to say, because they're afraid it's going to hurt their record."
it's a silence wise and the other women hope to slowly break with Battling Bare's mission.
"Ensuring that the stigma of PTSD goes away and people talk about it. And that's really the biggest thing. And in talking, there's healing and not ignoring it. Because ignoring it, people are dying."

Wise says she hopes to make her group a non-profit soon.

After Panda beat me down, I did what many of you said, dedicated my efforts in one site mainly and also a couple I love that aren't the same niche. When penguin came into play, the sites were affected positively, but we're talking a slight increase from losing competitors on keywords here and there; you could say they were unaffected.
I wrote a lot more but Leosghost is right, I don't want to give anything away. I will say that a cliche that's stuck in my head while working is "Honesty is the best policy".
