List of student federations of Pakistan
The Student Federations of Pakistan have been growing in popularity and significance over the past few years. This has been attributed to the increasing social disparity between the younger and older generation of the country. 66% of population of Pakistan is currently under the age of 30,[1] and approximately only 5% of the population is over the age of 65.[2] Researchers have noted the significance of political youth organizations in social environments such as these, and have project that the youth organizations in Pakistan will help define the future of the nation over the next few years.[3] Reporters have noted that Pakistan's political climate is in a current state of divisive unrest. Political actions taken within the country have simultaneously sparked public celebrations and large scale riots.[4] Due to the demographics of the country, the population under the age of 30 has been very involved in these public actions, and the youth and student organizations within the country have been prominent in the formation of some of these actions.

A New Student Federation ASF(Alliance Student Federation) Started in 2014
The first student political group in Pakistan was the Muslim Students Federation. Started in 1947, as a student wing of the Muslim League, the Muslim Students Federation held prominence in Pakistan until the Muslim League splinted shortly after coming to power.[5] The 1950s saw the rise of two kinds of political student parties; Left leaning Marxist parties like the Democratic Students Federation,[6] and religious right wing parties like the Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba.[7] The leftist groups were not treated kindly by the ruling powers at the time, and in 1953 during a protest led by the Democratic Student Federation, the police shot into the crowd killing six students.[8] The next year the same group was banned from the country for its possible ties to the Communist party of Pakistan, followed shortly thereafter by a ban of its successor group the All Pakistan Students Organization.[5] These groups were succeeded by yet another leftist group, the National Students Federation, which continues on to this day.[citation needed]
The student unions in the 1960s were characterized primarily as a struggle for power between the Maoist-Soviet leaning left and the religious right, with the leftist National Students Federation and the National Students Organization coming out on top. The 1970s brought with it a rise in student political action as the 1974 Student Union Ordinance was passed.[9] This Ordinance actually encouraged student activity on campus, and several prominent new student organizations came into existence and grew during this time. Meanwhile, the struggle between the Marxist and religious student associations grew, with both sides creating their own respective alliances, though both groups suffered from political infighting and splintering.
Through the late 1970s and into the 1980s the student groups began to clash violently with each other and the government. All its happened due to Zia Ul Haq, who victimised progressive, liberal and democratic students. Doors of the colleges and universities were closed for the students of PSF, but in spite of all hardles in MAO College Lahore a group of students like Sahar Dabir, Jamshed Butt, Main Ayub And Tanveer Khan continued his struggle. jamshed but was an excellent speaker and an out standing political brain. He was the mastermind of all political games which were playing in those days among the librial students while sahar dubir sunny and tanver khan were his fighting tigers. Jamshed wrote and spoke against Zia throughout his ruling days. While Sunny and Tanver were involved in different criminal cases.
Current issues[edit]
There are currently three major issues driving the political activist groups in Pakistan. These issues are a lack of educational opportunities, jobs, and ideological differences.
The public education system has three major problems facing it right now. First, there is a shortage of teachers and schools within the country. Approximately 33% of the children in Pakistan are not attending school, and even the ones who are may not have an actual teacher in the class room.[10] Second, the public education system is outdated by over 30 years. The textbooks used in the majority of public schools were written in the 1980s and they tend to lead students to be more susceptible to adaptation into radical forms of Islam.[11] Third is the stark difference between the private and public education systems. The top ten percent of the country send their children to private schools that speak English, instead of Urdu, and most children coming out of the private education system tend to be dismissive of their Urdu-speaking counterparts. This is creating a strong communication and familial rift between the educated population of Pakistan.[11]
Several political youth organizations in Pakistan have recognized these problems and are trying to address them. For example, the Pakistan Youth Movement has been trying to get more teachers to come to Pakistan,[citation needed] and the Anjuman-e-Talaba-e-Islam states as part of its mission to help create equality amongst Muslim students.[citation needed] JAFFRIA STUDENTS ORGNIZATION PAKISTAN a students organization in Pakistan for improve education of shia students more and more shia learn and serve the nation
The job market in Pakistan is not promising for students coming out of the education system. The unemployment rate in 2008 was estimated at 24.67%. This was attributed to a large part of the student population getting educated for technical jobs that are not in high demand in the country.[12] Approximately 85% of Pakistanis only make $4 per day, which is not an appealing prospect to college graduates in Pakistan.[13] This disparity of expectations is mobilizing factor behind a significant number of student federations.[11]
Ideological differences[edit]
The student federations of Pakistan have been known to engage in fights over political, religious, ethnic, nationalist, and sectarian differences. Several students die each year in the physical confrontations that frequently break out between groups during protests.[14]
A Short history of major student organisations[edit]
Democratic Student Federation (DSF) This is the oldest student movement for left and far-left students in Pakistan since 1948 but it was always aligned with the communist party of Pakistan which had Pro-Russian line after the Ayab Khan Dictatorship came to power it was banned and most of its students put in jails esp. after a so-called military conspiracy was discovered in the fifties.
National Student Federation (DSF) This is the legendary student federation for many leftist and centre-left students in Pakistan since the early 1970s and it was founded by the pro-US government elements when the banned DSF (which was aligned with the communist party of Pakistan, CPP) by the Ayab Khan Dictatorship that had come to power and it was thought a pro-American student body could be controlled by the regime but the left-wing students from the old DSF managed to take over the newly formed NSF and turn it into a progressive and best organised student movement of all times.
Pepoples Student Federation (PSF) and Liberal Student Federation (LSF)
When ZA Bhutto betrayed the National student federation (NSF) during a famous strike action he needed a pro- peoples party-led rubber-stamp student body so he decided to formed the Peoples student federation (PSF) which had some support because of the Pro-PPP elements encouraged students to join it but it never was able to overtake the old NSF in the universities of the country.
After 1973 the Bhutto regime tried to slip the NSF again and with its indirect support help form the liberal student federation or LSF which also never really managed to overtake the NSF. For the NSF still ruled supreme but it was the religious right esp. the PJI led student group called the IJT that posed a major threat to its university/college mass support and the NSF never really accepted the pro-Sindhi-feudal led PSF or the small LSF as a true and proper successor student federation.
Insaaf Student Federation (ISF) This is the true and proper successor to the legendary student federation NSF for many centrist and centre-left students in Pakistan since the 2000s and it was founded by the PTI chairman khan who an anti-US political national leader when he was banned by the pro-mush IJT (which is aligned with the religious party in Pakistan) by the pro-American Dictorship that had come to power after the overthrow of Nawaz Sharif government. The ISF has simple majority from the centre-left and centrist student bodies esp. the LSF and NSF and also the ISF openly states that the social model that it will follow is similar to the old NSF student body and it is now the largest, best-organised and dominant student movement in the country nowadays.
Student Islamic groups[edit]
Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba[edit]
Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba (IJT) is an independent student wing, but share its ideological basses with Jamaat-e-Islam party in Pakistan. It is currently the only students organization which has its routes in whole Pakistan. The IJT's stated mission is to, "eliminate the non-Islamic factors and the secularism from the curriculum and teachings of the educational institutions of Pakistan."[7] The IJT was known in the 1980s for its militant nature and was one of the student unions temporarily banned in 1984[citation needed]. Today the group is active and continues to be a source of recruits for the Jamiat-e-Islam Party,[15] though many of its members, after completing their tenure, have also joined other political parties, including Javed Hashmi, Ejaz Chaudhary, Asad Qiasar, Khawaja Saad Rafique, Ahsan Iqbal and Dr. Arif Alvi.
Mustafavi Students Movement[edit]
Mustafavi Students Movement(or MSM) is an non-governmental students organization/Federation founded by Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri in 1994 in Lahore, Pakistan. [1] MSM was established in October 6, 1994. MSM is busy to protect students from violation and immoral activities and to provide positive avenues to their emotions. This Movement is active in universities, colleges, schools and religious institutes at nationwide level. To eliminate illiteracy and spread the light of knowledge, Discourage the drugs usage, waywardness, obscenity, vulgarity and to eradicate the thriving trends of western culture and draw the attention of students from violent attitude towards educational and national objectives, which is the prior responsibility of Mustafavi Students Movement. www.MSMPakistan.org
Anjuman Talaba-e-Islam[edit]
Anjuman Talaba-e-Islam (ATI) was founded in 1968 to help create equality amongst Muslim students.[citation needed] The ATI has been known to hold demonstrations for Islamic and Pakistani causes. On February 7, 2013 they held a protest for Kashmir Solidarity Day and burned an Indian flag.[16] The ATI has also protested the existence of books that are not in line with their religious beliefs.[17] ATI moto is to " Enlighten the Torch Of Prophet"s love in the Hearts of Students "
Pakistan Islamic Students Federation[edit]
It is unclear when the Pakistan Islamic Students Federation (PISF or APISF) was founded, though its internet presence was established on February 24, 2012.[citation needed] PISF is an Islamic group in Pakistan best known for its protests of Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and the Danish cartoons depicting Muhammad, where they called for the public hanging of the Danish cartoonists.[14][18]
Imamia Students Organization[edit]
Imamia Students Organisation is a Shi'a Muslim students organisation in Pakistan. It was founded by Dr. Mohammad Ali Naqvi on 22 May 1972 at University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore. In 2012 it had "around 1200 units in Pakistan,"[19] covering all the five provinces of Pakistan, Tribal areas, Azad Jamu, Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan.
The Goal of this Organization is to set the lives of the young generation in accordance with the teachings of Quran and Mohammad-o-Aal-e-Mohammad (as), so that they may become good Human beings and Momins, and may defend the Highness of the Holy Religion and the geographical and ideological boundaries of Pakistan.[20]
Allegations were directed against ISO that they receive funding from Iran. ISO counters those allegations, stating that they only receive moral guidance from Iran.[19]
Muslim Student Federation[edit]
Muslim Student Federation or MSF is a conservative Pakistani political group that was started on September 1, 1937, in Calcutta, India by the old All-India Muslim League.[21] The group has a wing in Pakistan that is led by Rana Arshad.[22] and Rana Hassnain leading in Punjab as senior vice president along with coordinator Green Tiger Punjab with Mariam Nawaz Sharif and Atif Rauf. He belongs to south Punjab hometown is Bahawalnagar. The student federation has also been known to engage in fights previously with some of the progressive student federations[23] and exhibit an independent mildly conservative nature.[24]
In Pakistan MSF-N is aligned to the PML-N, which is a centre-right party (now in government) and its student wing is very liberal/conservative nowadays.
Progressive and Marxist groups[edit]
Democratic Students Federation[edit]
Democratic Students Federation (DSF) was founded in 1949, and being the oldest leftist student federation in Pakistan many other left leaning student political organizations can trace their heritage back to this group.[6] The DSF was banned in 1956 because of its political association with the communist party, which resulted in several other student groups forming from its ashes, like the National Students Federation and the Liberal Students Federation.[25] The DSF was allowed to reorganize in 1980, and grew in popularity because of its connection to the then powerful Soviet Union. This popularity faded after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the group restructured itself in 2011 to adapt to more current issues. The groups stated mission is to, "bring back the balance of power to the students in universities which is formerly lost." Nowadays, both the NSF and ISF claim common heritage from the old DSF.
National Students Federation[edit]
National Students Federation (NSF) was formed from the remnants of the Democratic Students Federation when it was banned in 1956.[25] The group is a self-proclaimed revolutionary communist/Soclaist left and centre-left student federation whose stated goals are to:
- Struggle for a class free education system and all rights of the student community
- Struggle for free education for all
- Struggle for improvement in the conditions of all educational institutes
- Promote peace, tolerance and unity amongst students
- To link students with the international movements against capitalist, imperialist oppression.[citation needed]
In 2008 the group was reorganized during the Lawyers' Movement, and now primarily operates out of Punjab, though its values remain mostly the same and just like the old DSF gave birth to the powerful NSF recently in a similar way the NSF has helped give birth to the programme of the newly formed Insaf Student Federation (ISF).[26]
Liberal Students Federation[edit]
Liberal Students Federation was formed in 1973 as a faction/group that split off from the National Students Federation.[25]
Insaf Students Federation[edit]
Insaf Students Federation (ISF) was formed by chairman khan of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, (PTI) and it has the simple majority from the Center-left and Centrist Student Organisations esp. the National Student Federation and Liberal Students Federation when it became Politically Activate in the late 2000s during the "Nation-wide Lawyers Movement" and other anti-Musharraf activities and it sees itself as the "True Follower of the old NSF" and the "PSF as a fake break-away group" from the old NSF. The federation has similar to the old NSF both right and left wing factions and it is a self-proclaimed Radical/Progressive Social Democratic a federal student organisation whose stated goals are to Struggle and fight for free education, free health system and welfare state for the poor and working class Pakistani people and defending rights of the student community based on social justice and democratic ideals.

Though the history of PSF is jam-packed with the sacrifices of young blood but during the Zia era a group of students, namely Sahar Dubir Sunny, Jamshed Butt (Kh Jamshed Imam) and Tanver Khakwani played a unique role under the hot water. Jamshed Butt (KH Jamshed Imam) but was the mastermind of political activism and Sunny and Tanveer were his wings to fly. He wrote and spoke throughout the ruling days of Zia against his bad deeds.
Nowadays in 2012 Zohaib Butt And Ali Sukrat Are playing significant role in the organization to re-establish the rule.
All Pakistan Muhajir Students Organization[edit]
All Pakistan Muhajir Students Organization (APMSO) was founded in 1978 at the University of Karachi by Altaf Hussain.[28] Unlike other student political organizations, APMSO spawned its own national political party in 1984, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).[29] While the APMSO platform has some liberal elements to it, at its core it is the ethnic political party of the Muhajir, an Urdu speaking people who immigrated from India in 1947.[30] This student organization has also been involved in violent clashes with other student political organization, which have resulted in over 20 deaths since the group's founding.[14]

Being a melanoma survivor (had first stage) I am all about using spf for summer! This stuff is amazing love it! Thank you Birchbox
Unlike most other sunscreens, this one smells awesome! It's not as greasy as others and has great coverage. My boyfriend even liked it.
Great SPF level of protection. Goes on nicely and smells great. For a sun screen I recommend it!
I am very wary of putting anything on my face since it breaks out very easily, so generally I avoid sunscreen. But this was light and smooth, didn't cause any irritation, and best of all didn't break my face out. Perfect for vacationing in Tennessee :)
I have enjoyed every COOLA product I have received. This sunscreen is smooth and smells great! It is creamy, and not oily. It does not rob my skin of moisture like other sunscreens.
I don't normally use Sunscreen although I Know I should so I didn't get much use out of this but I will say it smelled good for a sunscreen!
this stuff is great and smells wonderful !! i will differently purchase and you should as will- i think you will be very happy...
Love this product so far! Great beachy scent and didn't make my sensitive skin react negatively at all. Love it is a moisturizer and sunscreen in one step! Great for a busy mom.
This was my go-to for the summer! I didn't burn, and I smelled like a mango smoothie (even my boyfriend loved it)! I will continue to buy this product for when I'm out and about in the sun!
First, this stuff smells so so good. I used it on my face and it did not make me break out at all and covered my skin under make-up flawlessly. I will definitely be buying more -- this will probably be my go-to sunscreen brand.

Jim Aldrich and Danny Benedetto recently announced that they and their team are partnering with Allison James Estates and Homes and opening a new, larger office in Placerville.
James Crumbragh III, CEO, and Matt Crumbragh, CFO — the founders of Allison James — recently flew in from back east to meet the team, and others who are joining their company. Allison James Estates and Homes uses new technology to allow its agents to give superior service to their customers. It is not only the greenest national real estate company, but the fastest growing real estate company in the nation.
Team Aldrich, with more than 100 years combined real estate service in the local community, consists of Brian Peterson, Sam Longwell, Oasis Meggers, Mary Rose Davis and Clint Priestley. Agents Connie Longwell, Kris Aldrich and Sarah Benedetto will continue to offer client and agent support.
Danny Benedetto said that when comparing national companies, Allison James' fresh new concept just made sense. It cuts out the middle man and puts the commission back in the hands of the agents, to spend back on local advertising and promotions.
You won't see Allison James wasting money on sponsoring superbowls or race cars. The company's one priority is to provide service, tools and support to allow agents to service their clients better, and to succeed where others are failing.
Team Aldrich has extended this new philosophy to its new office, where the agents will offer clients the choice from traditional to virtual.
"We have opportunities for quality agents to work in a fully supported team environment," said Aldrich, "but we are introducing a new concept where agents can lease space and service in our brand new office. With over 3,000 square feet of space in the County Fair shopping center, there is plenty of room for agents that want a private office, semi-private office, personal or shared desk. We allow the agents to work for themselves, but not by themselves."
Benedetto added, "Allison James is to the Real Estate industry what the jet engine was to the aviation industry and we are proud to be a part of it."
The new office at 87 Fair Lane in Placerville will be open for business the Monday after Easter, and the whole team invites you to stop by.

Article: Pesticide concentrations in maternal and umbilical cord sera and their relation to birth outcomes in a population of pregnant women and newborns in New Jersey[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We evaluated in utero exposures to pesticides by measuring maternal and cord serum biomarkers in a New Jersey cohort of pregnant women and the birth outcomes of their neonates. The study was based on 150 women that underwent an elective cesarean delivery at term in a hospital in central New Jersey. We evaluated the following pesticide compounds in both maternal and umbilical cord sera: chlorpyrifos, diazinon, carbofuran, chlorothalonil, dacthal, metolachlor, trifluralin and diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET). Of these compounds, chlorpyrifos, carbofuran, chlorothalonil, trifluralin, metolachlor and DEET were the pesticides most frequently detected in the serum samples. We found high (> or =75th percentile) metolachlor concentrations in cord blood that were related to birth weight (3605 g in upper quartile vs 3399 g; p=0.05). We also observed an increase in abdominal circumference with increasing cord dichloran concentrations (p=0.031). These observations suggest that in utero exposures to certain pesticides may alter birth outcomes.
Article: Pesticide Concentrations in Matrices Collected in the Perinatal Period in a Population of Pregnant Women and Newborns in New Jersey, USA[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Gestational exposure to pesticides may adversely affect fetal development and birth outcomes. However, data on fetal exposure and associated health effects in newborns remain sparse. We measured a variety of pesticides and metabolites in maternal urine, maternal serum, cord serum, amniotic fluid, and meconium samples collected at the time of cesarean delivery from 150 women in central New Jersey, USA. Women who used pesticides at home had higher concentrations of pesticides or metabolites in cord serum [e.g., dacthal (p = .007), diethyltoluamide (p = .043), and phthalimide (p = .030)] than those who did not use pesticides, suggesting that residential use of pesticides may contribute to overall exposure as assessed by biomonitoring. Except for orthophenylphenol, the concentrations of most pesticides in biological matrices of this study population were either comparable to or lower than the levels reported in previous studies and in the U.S. general population. The daily exposure estimates of two representative organophosphorus insecticides (chlorpyrifos and diazinon) were lower than most regulatory protection limits (USEPA oral benchmark dose10/100, USEPA reference oral dose, or ATSDR minimal risk levels); however, they were near or at the USEPA's population-adjusted doses for children and women. No abnormal birth outcomes or other clinical endpoints were noted in those newborns who had higher concentrations of orthophenylphenol during the perinatal period.
Article: Perinatal Exposure to Perchlorate, Thiocyanate, and Nitrate in New Jersey Mothers and Newborns[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Perchlorate is a commonly occurring environmental toxicant that may be transported across the placental barrier by the sodium-iodide symporter (NIS), possibly resulting in both increased perchlorate exposure and decreased iodide uptake by the fetus. Therefore, we measured levels of three physiologically relevant NIS-inhibitors (perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate) and iodide in maternal and fetal fluids collected during cesarean-section surgeries on 150 U.S. women. Geometric means of perchlorate, thiocyanate, and nitrate levels in maternal urine (2.90, 947, and 47900 microg/L, respectively) were similar to previously published results, while urinary iodide levels (1420 microg/L) were significantly higher (p < 0.0001), likely because of prevalent prenatal vitamin use in the study population (74%). Thiocyanate levels were higher in the maternal serum, cord serum, and amniotic fluid of smokers compared to women with environmental tobacco smoke exposure and nonsmokers (p-values of 0.0006, 0.0011, and 0.0026, respectively). Perchlorate was detected in most samples: urine (100%), maternal serum (94%), cord serum (67%), and amniotic fluid (97%). Maternal urinary perchlorate levels were positively correlated with perchlorate levels in amniotic fluid (r = 0.57), indicating that maternal urine perchlorate is an effective biomarker of fetal perchlorate exposure. Maternal serum perchlorate was generally higher than cord serum perchlorate (median ratio 2.4:1 for paired samples), and maternal urine perchlorate was always higher than fetal amniotic fluid perchlorate levels (mean ratio 22:1); conversely, iodide levels were typically higher in fetal fluids compared to maternal fluids. We found no evidence of either disproportionate perchlorate accumulation or lack of iodide in the fetal compartment. In this panel of healthy infants, we found no association between cord blood levels of these anions and newborn weight length, and head circumference.
Article: Phthalates Biomarker Identification and Exposure Estimates in a Population of Pregnant Women[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Phthalates are known reproductive and developmental toxicants in experimental animals. However, in humans, there are few data on the exposure of pregnant women that can be used to assess the potential developmental exposure experienced by the fetus. We measured several phthalate metabolites in maternal urine, maternal serum, and cord serum samples collected at the time of delivery from 150 pregnant women from central New Jersey. The urinary concentrations of most metabolites were comparable to or less than among the U.S. general population, except for mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), and mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (MEOHP), three metabolites of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). The median urinary concentrations of MEHHP (109 mug/l) and MEOHP (95.1 mug/l) were more than 5 times their population-based concentrations, whereas the median urinary concentration of MEHP was more than 20 times higher. High concentration of MEHP may indicate a recent exposure to the parent chemical DEHP in the hospital shortly before the collection of the samples. Calculation of daily intakes using the urinary biomarker data reveals that none of the pregnant women tested had integrated exposures to DEHP greater than the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's minimal risk levels (MRLs chronic 60, intermediate 100 mug/kg/day). No abnormal birth outcomes (e .g., birth weight, Apgar Score, and gestational age) were noted in those newborns whose mothers had relatively greater exposure to DEHP during the perinatal period than others in this study. Significantly greater concentrations and detection frequencies in maternal urine than in maternal serum and cord serum suggest that the urinary concentrations of the phthalate metabolites may be more reliable biomarkers of exposure than their concentrations in other biological specimens.

ABSTRACT: We describe a case of placenta previa at 37 weeks' gestation in which transvaginal sonography revealed a complete placenta previa overlying a dilated internal cervical os in the absence of any vaginal bleeding or uterine contractions. To our knowledge, no similar case has been described.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate outcomes and predictors of neonatal survival in pregnancies complicated by vasa previa and to compare outcomes in prenatally diagnosed cases of vasa previa with those not diagnosed prenatally. We performed a multicenter study of 155 pregnancies complicated by vasa previa. Cases were obtained from the Vasa Previa Foundation and 6 large hospitals. Comparisons were made between groups based on prenatal diagnosis status and neonatal survival. The overall perinatal mortality was 36% (55 of 155). In 61 cases (39%), vasa previa was diagnosed prenatally; 59 of 61 (97%) infants from these pregnancies survived compared with 41 of 94 (44%) in cases not diagnosed prenatally (P <.001). Median 1- and 5-minute Apgar scores in cases diagnosed prenatally were 8 and 9, respectively, compared with 1 and 4 among survivors in cases not diagnosed prenatally (P <.001). More than half (24 of 41) of surviving neonates born to women without prenatal diagnosis required blood transfusions compared with 2 of 59 diagnosed prenatally (P <.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the only significant predictors of neonatal survival were prenatal diagnosis (P <.001) and gestational age at delivery (P =.01). Good outcomes with vasa previa depend primarily on prenatal diagnosis and cesarean delivery at 35 weeks of gestation or earlier should rupture of membranes, labor, or significant bleeding occur.

Article: Fetal transcerebellar diameter nomogram in singleton gestations with special emphasis in the third trimester: A comparison with previously published nomograms[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study was undertaken to construct an institution-specific transverse cerebellar (transcerebellar) diameter nomogram with special emphasis in the third trimester and to compare its ability to predict gestational age with previously published nomograms. A cross-sectional nomogram was constructed using transcerebellar diameter measurements in 24,026 well-dated singleton fetuses by using linear regression models. Third-trimester measurements from 2,010 fetuses were included. The performance of previously established transcerebellar diameter nomograms for predicting gestational age was assessed in our population to determine comparability between nomograms. Interobserver and intraobserver variabilities in the second and third trimesters were 3.1% to 3.7% and 3.4% to 3.8%, respectively. Between 14 and 27 weeks' gestation, there were no clinically important differences between our nomogram and those previously published in terms of the predicted gestational age. However, predicted gestational age in the third trimester was considerably different by using our nomogram by 1 to 2 weeks from 28 to 30 weeks and by 4 to 6 weeks after 32 weeks. Transcerebellar measurements had a similar relationship with gestational age across previously published nomograms before 28 weeks. However, clinically significant differences in predicting gestational age appear later, especially after 32 weeks. These findings suggest that this new nomogram may be particularly useful for accurate dating of pregnancies in the third trimester.

ABSTRACT: Trisomy 9 was first reported in 1973 through blood lymphocyte testing in a newborn male with multiple congenital anomalies. Since that time, only approximately 30 cases of mosaic or nonmosaic trisomy 9 have been reported; therefore, this is a relatively rare chromosomal abnormality, constituting only 2.7% of all trisomic cases. Nonmosaic or complete trisomy 9 is a lethal diagnosis, with most fetuses dying prenatally or during the early postnatal period. Those who survive usually have mosaic trisomy 9 and have severe motor and mental deficiencies. With mosaic trisomy 9, the prevalence and severity of malformations and mental deficiency correlate with the percentages of trisomic cells in different tissues. Because most complete trisomy 9 cases end in spontaneous abortion in the first trimester, there is a paucity of reports regarding the prenatal sonographic findings of complete trisomy 9. To our knowledge, only 7 cases of nonmosaic trisomy 9 that were specifically detected on prenatal sonography have been reported in the literature: first trimester (n = 2), second trimester (n = 2), and third trimester (n = 3). There are distinct features associated with complete trisomy 9. Clinical and sonographic findings that have been described include intrauterine growth restriction, central nervous system abnormalities, cranial and facial anomalies, skeletal defects, congenital heart defects, and urogenital abnormalities. The purpose of this report is to describe the prenatal sonographic findings in a second-trimester fetus with trisomy 9 and also to review the sonographic findings of all published cases of nonmosaic trisomy 9 that were specifically detected on sonography.

On the chess boards the white king won't show up if the board settings are set to "classic".
By rIght clicking on the square where the king is supposed to be and then choose "view image" a page turns up saying "File Not Found". The URL for that page is:
The similar image for the black king is OK:
what browser are you using?
i see both pieces.
I am using Mozilla Firefox. Note that it is when the board settings are set to "classic" that the white king won't show. Did you see a picture in both of those two links I posted in my former post?
yes, i see a picture for both. maybe clear your cache, etc?
I have tried out reloading several times and logging out/logging in with no luck. Right now I tested it in Internet Explorer and there it is OK. So for some reason Firefox is not able to locate that image.
yeah - your browser :( sorry! how else can i help?
Well, I don't know right now. Anyway, for the time being I set the settings to "modern" since that display the white king correctly so that I can see my games correctly.
I handled the matter by clearing the content of the cache folder.

In light of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health educational reform to the Master of Public Health (MPH) Program, faculty in the Department of Global Health and Population have restructured the current SM program, to now offer a two-year research-focused Master of Science degree (80 credits).
Mission Statement
The mission of this degree program is to prepare the next generation of researchers for global health and population around the world in order to advance global health research and reduce the burden of disease, especially in the world's most vulnerable populations.
The program's graduates contribute to the improvement of global health and the resolution of population problems. Graduates have the analytical and technical skills to address health and population problems from a range of disciplinary perspectives. They build a set of advanced competencies covering conceptual approaches, theory and applications, problem solving and analysis, as well as a wide range of quantitative and qualitative methods. Graduates pursue careers in policy analysis, monitoring and evaluation of public health programs, and academic and programmatic research. They will engage with global health research at national and international government agencies, NGOs, the private sector and academic institutions.
- to provide training in public health sciences to individuals whose prior training and experience prepares them to play a leadership role in generating new knowledge through public health research;
- to award the SM degree to individuals who have acquired a particular depth of knowledge in public health sciences and who have demonstrated the competencies set out below;
- to lead students to achieve these capacities in a setting that demands that they query, learn, interpret, and communicate in active interchange with their peers, with faculty, and with other researchers outside the school.
Graduates acquire a solid and up-to-date understanding of the major issues in population and global health; the research tools to examine evidence related to program effectiveness, priority setting, and decision making; and insights into the practical aspects of undertaking research and evaluating population health interventions around the world, including a perspective on the economic, social, political, cultural, and ethical considerations that bear on these issues. Upon satisfactory completion of the SM degree, graduates will be able to:
- Identify and apply appropriate quantitative and qualitative methods to the analysis of international, national, regional, or local contemporary problems of public health;
- Synthesize and integrate specialized knowledge and research skills in one or more areas of global health and population (e.g. demography, economics, epidemiology, gender analysis, human rights, law, politics, policy, and statistics), based on advanced course work and independent research study;
- Demonstrate competence in research ethics.
Student Status
- The GHP SM2 Program is offered for full-time student status only. Part-time student status is not permitted.
- The GHP SM2 program does not grant admission deferrals. Any individual who is admitted to the program and is unable to matriculate will need to reapply.
- Students may not request a leave of absence for the purpose of pursuing another degree at Harvard or at another university.
Additional Information
Procedures, deadlines, and test requirements for admission to this program, as well as information on financial assistance, can be found in the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Catalog. For other inquiries, please contact the Harvard Chan School Admissions Office (phone: 617-432-1031 or by email: firstname.lastname@example.com).

"A hypnotic scent of luscious plum and purple orchid with tantalizing hints of warm vanilla, amber and musk."
Personally, I can't stand this fragrance. It smells medicinal. If you've ever smelled Eagle Brand Medicated oil/ointment, this smells almost exactly like it! (the green stuff in the little glass bottles, it's very very popular in Asia--http://www.veryasia.com/eabrmeoil.html).
PROS: Fairly inexpensive.
CONS: Smells terrible. I need to wash my hands right now!!!
Obviously, I would not even consider purchasing this.

Yum. I've never been a fan of the original Imari, but THIS truly is lovely & hands down one of Avon's better perfume offerings in recent years. As for its smell being compared to Armani Code, Betsey Johnson, Viva La Juicy & Britney Spears' Fantasy among others... well, I have no idea what those perfumes smell like so I really can't say if Imari Seduction is identical to or even a combination of those four. But if it's indeed true, then yippee! Imari Seduction only costs a fraction of the the fragrances mentioned (I even got my bottle at more than 50% off its normal price) & frankly, given a choice between Avon & Ms. Spears, I'd take Avon perfumes ANY TIME over some skanky, over-exposed celeb's scent. Previous reviewers complain about the poor lasting power & for an EDT, I definitely agree. Heck, even the company's Vanilla Soft Musk cologne spray is surprisingly tenacious compared to this, lasting well into the next day... hmmm... quite baffling as normally, it's supposed to be the reverse. So for that reason, I can only give it 4 lippies. But overall, a very classy, high quality fragrance that smells much more expensive than what its cheap price tag suggests.
I don't like this anymore, so downgrading to 1 lippie. Somehow, I get more of the purple orchid note (which I don't care for) than the plum from my bottle -- which is REALLY infuriating coz I DEFINITELY smelled more of the delicious plum note from the tester (very deceiving!) Then, there's the drydown: just your typical generic, chemically Avon drydown of synthetic amber, musk & vanilla that is sooo prevalent in many of their new lacklustre perfumes of recent years. *heavy sigh* Oh how I MISS the old Avon of the '90s when the company STILL cared to come out with memorable fragrances like Far Away, Women of Earth, (the aforementioned) Vanilla Soft Musk, etc that smelled like the perfumers actually put some thought & passion into them... now Avon perfumes are about as forgettable as & undistinguishable from the many zero-personality, unoriginal, "I've smelled this before/this smells like X or Y perfume" designer/celeb scents being churned out by the factory-load every year that are hardly worth our time, attention & money. What a darn shame. :(

This is one sexy scent! The packaging is quite lovely too. This fragrance took me by surprise because it smells so divine!
My mother is quite picky with fragrances but even she likes this one!
I gave it a four because I think it could last a bit longer, however this is a cologne spray not a EDT or EDP so that would be why, however I would give 5 lippies if this was a EDT ot EDP and lasted longer!

WOW!!!! Who would have thought that i would find this amazing fragrance from AVON! I did not smell this perfume before i bought it off ebay for only $9.99 including shipping for a 1.7 oz. I figured if i didnt like it, it wasnt that big of a loss. Boy.. was i surprised when i sprayed this perfume on and out came this lovely scent! It kind of smells like viva la juicy on me, but i can detect some stronger notes..kinda spicey in a way. I cant stop sniffing my arm! The bottle is classy and elegant aswell. I will go through a bottle of this super fast i can imagine, but its fine since its so cheap! I am thinking that this will be my signature scent, and i will glady display it on my bathroom counter :)

Okay, so I just ordered it and haven't received it yet. I broke down. When I've tried samples, it smelled a bit similar to Chanel's Chance. Anybody else noticed a similarity? I'll write more when I give it a real try! EDIT: Okay, I have it now. Nice, very nice. However, it lasts a surprisingly short time for a "strong" fragrance. But I like it. I don't smell as much Chance as I thought I would. It's something I'd wear when I have to dress up. For an evening out, maybe.

I love this fragrance. Its smell is very warm and sensual.
I really like the open fruity plum note. And as it settles down to your skin, the note turns to a warmer vanilla smell.
I think this fragrance is a perfect winter perfume. I will give it a 4 as it can last a bit longer but overall, this fragrance is very worth buying.

A lot are ordinary, but this one is beautiful...spicy with just the right amount of sweetness. Mmmmm. plum.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure

duuuuuuuuuuuuude. This smells so very good. It's sweet and spicy. I only could not give it 5 lippies because it must be reapplied every few hours.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Very Oily, Tan, Warm

This smells as if Prada Tendre and Armani Code married and had a baby together called Imari Seduction...lol (And Betsey Johnson perfume being its step sister)...lol. I found Armani Code to be strong and on note, and Prada to be complex (which is good) YET too masculine, and being mixed together in this Imari Seduction makes the perfect perfume because I smell: vanilla, lavender, plum, amber, and woods. I found my winter fragrance. I only bought it my rep was talking about Jennifer Hudson and she mentioned that Jen is in the catalog endorsing this perfume, I love her!! and she is engaged to the smart Harvard lawyer. Avon did a good job replicating the new scents on the market and bringing Jen as the younger version of the Imari legacy.

Random drug testing bill in trouble
Published: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 12:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 12:06 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — A bill that would have allowed state agencies to randomly test their employees for drugs has narrowly escaped death.
The measure (HB 1205) at first failed to clear the House appropriations committee on Wednesday after both Republicans and Democrats questioned its cost and its legality.
But the committee later agreed to reconsider its vote. Then it postponed further consideration of the bill.
A staff analysis says it isn't clear how much random drug testing would cost taxpayers. The analysis also says the bill raises "constitutional concerns."
A representative for the American Civil Liberties Union went further and told the panel that "suspicionless, universal drug-testing is unconstitutional."
An executive order by Gov. Rick Scott requiring random drug testing of state workers is now being litigated in federal court.

Mondale's and Hart's Views Similar on Financial Issues; Front-Runners Concerned about Deficit, Tax Reform
Kahn, Ephraim, American Banker
WASHINGTON -- More than 500 Democratic delegates are up for grabs in tomorrow's primaries and caucuses, where former Vice President Walter F. Mondale and Sen. Gary Hart of Colorado are the recognized front-runners.
Also at stake -- should a Democrat win the White House this year -- are economic policies and key appointments that could directly affect the financial services industry.
At this stage in the political process, candidates are concerned with firing voters' imaginations and stirring their hearts rather than issuing specific proposals on financial industry issues -- issues many voters consider arcane. But policy statements from the leading candidates can give financial industry officials some idea of their philosophies.
For example, when Mr. Mondale was told that banks pay taxes at an effective rate of 2.7%, he said that as President, he would "get some answers and end these abuses."
Last July, Mr. Mondale told a savings and loan conference that "it's time to stop and take a look at [the] deregulation fever that hit this country a few years ago."
Deregulation, he said, might alter an essentially balanced financial community. "It would be tragic," he added, "if we came out of [this era] and found the S&L industry so changed that the crucial and scared function it performed is nonexistent."
As a senator, Mr. Mondale served on the Banking Committee from 1965 to 1972. He s remembered for his interest in housing programs and the liberalization of East-West trade, rather than in banking issues.
As for Sen. Hart, some of his proposals advocate making capital held by financial institutions more easily available to new ventures.
Among his ideas: authorizing regulators to permit higher interest rates on loans that carry higher risks; setting up a federal on state loan-loss-reserve program to insure a negotiated percentage of commercial loans; broadening the Community Reinvestment Act "to stimulate productive business investment"; and wider use of state economic development innovations and training programs for entrepreneurs.
Sen. Hart also has proposed modifications that could have a big impact on trust departments: He favors more "imaginative investment behavior" for pension funds, in part by revising the statutory standards and goals for pension fund management.
In general, there is agreement by Mr. Mondale and Mr. Hart on economic policy and philosophy. Both give high priority to dealing with the federal budget's structural deficit and both would restrict defense spending and allocate the money saved to social programs.
Both also favor tax reform, but they would go about it in different ways. Both also would take steps -- some very different ones -- to end American products' disadvantages in foreign markets.
Here, briefly summarized, are some of their stated positions on banking and finance matters.
Federal Reserve Policies. Mr. Mondale said: "We must strike an accord with the Federal Reserve Board to accommodate long-term sustainable growth with civilized interest and an accommodative policy."
Mr. Hart said he wants to have the monetary authorities "return to their former focus on interest rates."
Mr. Hart opposes scrapping the Fed, but he thinks "we should trim its independence by requiring it to conduct monetary policy in greater harmony with fiscal policy, so both work to achieve noninflationary growth. …

Yosemite National Park, California
51 Reviews
51 Reviews
Always wanted to visit here, and now was my chance
I couldn't believe I was actually here. A place I had always wanted to go, but somehow struggled to get here.
But now I have been, I have loads of great memories to keep and share. I am so glad I went. The views and wildness of it takes your breath away.
The people in the small towns in and around here are warm and friendly, and we stayed in a great hotel by chance, and had the best BBQ we had up to then, as we came out of Yosemite.
We found some great things to do and see by chance here, it I can't help but think how many more little treasures there are hidden around Yosemite National Park.
I'm not going to get into tiny detail about the park because so many other people have written about it but here are just a few things to bear in mind:
1) Coming to California and NOT going to Yosemite would be a huge mistake. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth. You can camp out but you don't have to. You can hike but you don't have to. Yosemite has something for everyone and every level of physical ability.
2) Don't miss it because you think you don't have enough time. You can go to Yosemite for a week and still not see everything but you CAN do it justice in one day. **Get there early** so it's quieter and the traffic is much more manageable. You can get a lot more done that way. If you arrive not long after sun up and leave late in the afternoon, you'll have time to see the highlights and enjoy the magnificence of the place.
3) Don't think you can't go just because you didn't make reservations 1 year in advance. If you want to stay in the park, yes, you need to make reservations waaaaay in advance (it's ridiculous really) but you don't have to stay in the park. In 2011, when they announced that because of the huge amount of snowfall we had over the winter the Spring waterfalls were more spectacular than they'd ever been, I decided to go. (That's the problem with making reservations so far in advance - you never know what the situation will be like a year later.) Knowing I was just going to see the waterfalls and not hiking or camping, I made a reservation at a hotel in Fresno for a very low rate just 2 days before I left to drive up there. I drove up to Fresno one day, the next day drove to the park and went back to Fresno that night, and then the next day drove home.
Now, granted it's a lot easier for me, as a Californian, to do something like that. Coming from out of state or even out of the country, making reservations, especially on the spur-of-the-moment, is hard, but do your research and it can be done. It's worth the effort to see it because to miss it would be a real shame. The overwhelming rock formations, the beautiful waterfalls, the serene meadows, the wildlife, the wildflowers, the trees: it's all gorgeous.
Yellowstone was the nation's first national park; but Yosemite followed close behind it attaining national park status 18 years later in 1890. Yosemite is one of the best parks to visit with a variety of interesting things to see, lots of facilities and lots of special activities. Start at one of the visitor centers to get maps of the parks, informative brochures and to consult a ranger about recommendations on how to best enjoy the park. This is one park where you can spend a few weeks and not get bored.
There is ample evidence of human habitation in this area for at least 9000 years. One place I found very interesting is Ahwahnee a reconstructed Yosemite Indian Village from the 1870s.
There are a variety of beautiful landscapes to see in the park. One of the most famous is Yosemite Falls. There is also a wide variety of wildlife that live in the park. Be advised though that the tourist season here is limited due to the high altitude. Access to much of the park is limited by heavy snowfall November to May.
For more information see my Yosemite National Park Page.
Yosemite National Park joins perhaps only Yellowstone in pedigree when it comes to US National Parks. Part of the young nation's psyche from their inception in the late 1800s, they were grand proof that new ideas about democracy could lead to enlightened perception when it came to land as something not only precious monetarily but also for the soul and thus in need of preservation. As hard as it is to fathom today, these were new ideas and quite possibly will be looked back on as the United States greatest contribution to society.
Yosemite's popularity is unsurprisingly as grandiose as its lineage. Few one-word names conjure such powerful images and even in an increasingly information driven society, it calls boldly for all to come and enjoy the great outdoors, leaving the mundane behind. Couple this draw with the park's proximity to a large population and it spells the word crowded just as loudly. With a huge tract of the Sierra Nevada range as its spine, a verdant old growth forest, and numerous spectacular waterfalls for dazzle, it's not hard to see what all the fuss is about. Accordingly, it is quite possibly the most developed wilderness in the world with an extensive network of trails criss-crossing its 1200 square miles and a reservation system on a par with Disney World. Some would argue that it is overrun with people but the truth is people have always been drawn here, from Native Americans to Gold Rush settlers, to early park pioneers who founded a National Park ideology around it.
So, what can you do to enjoy Yosemite in a little of the solitude that John Muir found over a 100 years ago? You can go to spots not quite as famous, not quite as popular. Hike high and deep just as he did. Only 5% of the park is accessible by road so there's a lot of room to get lost. But after you do get lost, you should come back to the masses and enjoy that camaraderie too. It is after all a place to share. It is part of an American heritage that hopefully will never die. To understand that as a people will help raise our awareness to preserve not only these parks but our planet as well.
Wawona and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias lie in an oft-overlooked corner of the park, nestled in the forested Chowchilla Mountains. Wawona is the history center of the park, where you can find both the Wawona Hotel and the Pioneer Yosemite History Center. The history center is an outdoor exhibit that details the early settlement of the Yosemite Park area (giving very little mention to the original Native Americans). However, its free and still worth a look.
At the south entrance, a road leads uphill to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, a 250-acre grove of the largest living things on earth. While Mariposa Grove can barely challenge Sequoia National Park's Giant Forest, it still has quite an impressive collection of trees. These include the behemoth Grizzly Giant and the mutilated California Giant in the lower grove, and Galen Clark, Columbia Tree, and Fallen Wawona Tunnel Tree in the upper grove. The two groves are connected by a trail of about 1.5 miles. The Mariposa Grove Museum is at the upper grove. From the upper grove, you can walk up to the open view at Wawona Point, where you can see a view of the surrounding mountains at 6810 feet above sea level.
While often neglected by most tourists, the High Sierra is the most exciting and beautiful part of Yosemite and it is easily accessible by Tioga Road. From Crane Flat, the Hwy 120 winds eastward, passing small waterfalls, forest, and granite. Eventually the road opens up near Olmsted Point, where there is a sweeping panorama of Tenaya Canyon and the peaks of the Sierra Crest. The road continues to Pywiack (Tenaya Lake), a beautiful gem-like blue lake. The road continues to Tuolumne Meadows, where most visitor facilities are located. The next section of the road is the most beautiful; the road follows the Tuolumne River up towards Tioga Pass, eventually passing Dana Meadows and reaching the pass and leaving the park.
Since my visit was during late June in a rather snowy year, I wasn't able to do any hiking near Tioga Road. Trails to places like Dog Lake, Elizabeth Lake, and Cathedral Lakes were mostly snowcovered, and the visitor center and even restrooms weren't even operating (the road opened only a week before we drove it). Generally, Tioga Road opens by Memorial Day, but during 2006, it didn't open until June 17.
The High Sierra is most of Yosemite- the eastern part of the park that encompasses high granite peaks, alpine lakes, small glaciers, and the famous High Sierra Trail that makes its way down to Mt. Whitney. I hope to return to Yosemite during the next few years to explore more of this area.
See my Yosemite National Park page for more details.
Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, in the Tuolumne River Canyon, used to be one of the most spectacular places in Yosemite (or so it was said). However, despite a desperate campaign by John Muir and the Sierra Club, the O'Shaugnessy Dam was built and the Hetch Hetchy Valley, which Muir once called "a rival to Yosemite," was flooded. Today you can still visit and use your imagination to see what the valley might originally have been like.
The prominent features of the valley are Kolana Rock and Hetch Hetchy Dome. There are also two major waterfalls in the valley: the free-leaping Tueeulala Fall, and the strong torrent of Wapama Fall. The 5 mile round trip hike to Wapama Fall is very worthwhile- you get to hike to the base of what is possibly the most powerful waterfall in the entire park.
The Hetch Hetchy area is at a lower elevation than Yosemite Valley and is therefore hotter. Also, ticks and snakes are common in the area.
See my Yosemite National Park page for more.
Yosemite Valley is a deep, 7-square mile canyon that is the centerpiece of Yosemite National Park and is considered one of the beautiful places in the world. The valley was carved by glaciers and today is almost 5,000 feet deep in places. The most well-known granite monuments in the park are Half Dome and El Capitan; others include the sharp, pointed Sentinel, the Cathedral Rocks, Clouds Rest, Sentinel Dome, North and Basket Domes, the Three Brothers, and Mt. Watkins. Yosemite Valley is also home to some of the tallest and most spectacular waterfalls in North America (and the world). Yosemite Falls is the most impressive at 2,425 feet tall. Other waterfalls in the valley include Silver Strand, Sentinel, Staircase, Ribbon, Vernal, Nevada, Illilouette, and Bridalveil. Trails abound in the valley; the most popular trails lead to the top of Half Dome and Yosemite Falls, while other easier hikes lead to Nevada Fall, Mirror Lake, and various meadows.
The valley also has no shortage of beautiful meadows, some of which are Ahwahnee, Cooks, Stoneman, Sentinel, and El Capitan. There are four main lodging areas in the valley- Yosemite Lodge, Ahwahnee Hotel, Curry Village, and Housekeeping Camp.
An hour's drive from Yosemite Valley takes you to Glacier Point, which is over 3,000 feet above the valley floor. From this elevation, there are views of the valley and the distant Sierra Crest. One of the best hikes in Yosemite National Park is very nearby- the Taft Point- Sentinel Dome loop. This loop trail, just over 5 miles long, offers some of the best views in the entire park.
For more information on Yosemite Valley, see my Yosemite National Park page.
in July 1979, with two other bicycle riding
companions, came over the crest of the rim
and saw this view. This was with
a telephoto lens. Rock dome is Half Dome,
and rock column on
left is El Capitan
In Mid morning, July 4th
Spectacular views can be seen throughout YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK. I especially loved the grandeur of EL CAPITAN. This massive granite monolith stands 3593 feet from base to summit. Tunnel view is one of the most photographed vistas in the world. It provides a beautiful view of Yosemite Valley, including El Capitan, Half Dome, Cathedral Rocks and Bridalview Falls.
We did the valley first, and it was very pretty, if a bit crowded and touristy.
We then drove up to the top Glacier Point. It's only when I got there that I thought "Wow! - I actually get it now!"
You get a birds eye view of the valley - you can see the waterfalls in much more detail and the view is absolutely stunning.
Don't get all the way to Yosemite without going to Glacier Point!

Impressive for their beauty, the main points of interest in this National Park can be accessed by vehicle. A large number of hiking trails lead to remote park areas and a hiking permit is mandatory in case of overnight stay at a campsite.
El Capitan is a dream to many rock climers around the world. So popular that we unexpectedly ran across some of our friends from Turin, Italy, while they were packing up their climbing gear upon their descent from nerve-teasing Nose route.
We took a less demanding task as the hike to Half Dome took us some 8 hours round trip.
The still beauty of Tenaya Lake is one of the features not to be missed in this park.
Hiking the Half Dome can be harsh in summer due to high temperatures. Take plenty of water with you. Last section to the summit requires to go though a steep granite slope with poles and steel ropes to aid the ascent. A pile of gloves at the start of this section awaits to be temporarily used. Harness is best, but even a simple piece of rope and a carabiner should be sufficient to increase your safety. We saw people or screaming kids with sandals or tennis shoes wearing no safety device at all. Easily accessible places are not meant to be less dangerous than others. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE a mountain, therefore don't follow their example and get prepared. Beware of thunderstorms. Lightning claimed too many lives already, and if you see any menacing cloud, even far from you, immediately abort the ascent. Needless to say, good boots and sun lotion are a must.
Yosemite National Park was set aside in 1890 to showcase the beauty of the Sierra Nevadas. Inside the park you will find breathtaking waterfalls careening of beautiful granite-faced mountains, groves of giant sequoias, and all kinds of interesting wildlife and flora. Because Yosemite is one of the most popular national parks, unless you're into back country hiking, you're likely to run into many people enjoying the spectacular scenery. This shot of Half-Dome was taken from Olmstead Point, on Highway 120 (Tioga Road) north of the Yosemite Valley.

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
Does Wisconsin have an 'upskirt' problem?
Whether or not you can go to prison for taking photos up a woman's skirt in Wisconsin depends on whether she's wearing underwear, a quirk of the law pointedly illustrated in a recent Ozaukee County case.
A Grafton man was caught taking cellphone pictures under the skirt of a woman ahead of him in the checkout line at a grocery store. He was charged with attempting to capture an image of nudity and disorderly conduct. His defense at trial last month? He was really trying to get a photo of the woman's underwear, not nudity.
And she was wearing underwear, which would have made it impossible to capture a nude image, but a jury found Jesse Schmucker guilty of both misdemeanor charges anyway. He was sentenced to nine months in jail. He plans to appeal.
Had Schmucker's victim not been wearing underwear, and that was evident in his photos, he might have been charged with a felony and faced up to 18 months in prison. But Wisconsin law also only makes that a crime if the victim was photographed in "a circumstance in which he or she has a reasonable expectation of privacy, if the person knows or has reason to know that the person who is depicted nude does not know of and consent to the capture of the representation."
So, really, upskirting in public is probably not illegal, though many prosecutors feel women — even while out in public — have a reasonable expectation of privacy under their own skirts.
A proposed change to the law, prepared by Milwaukee County prosecutors Erin Karshen and Chris Liegal would clarify that "intimate circumstances" includes clothed private areas not otherwise visible to the public. It would also clarify that someone who hides a camera could be guilty under invasion of privacy laws for capturing people using a toilet or having sex, even if not nude, and even if the device captures only audio of such activity. It would also make taking upskirt-like photos a felony.
The Massachusetts Supreme Court recently got some nationwide attention when it ruled that its state law, which was very similiar to Wisconsin's, did not apply to people sneaking upskirt shots in public places. Lawmakers immediately responded with a bill specficially criminalizing upskirting, regardless of what kind of picture the perpetrator managed to take.
You can hear from Schmucker, his victim, his attorney and prosecutors in this piece from WITI-TV Channel 6.
