Expanding Our Vision Brings the Big Picture Into Focus
At our higher elevation we will fly faster and can cover a lot of ground. The landscape of Antarctica can be hard to get ones head around – a glacier catchment is usually too big to fit into one field of view, so we see it bit by bit, and try to build up a physical picture in the same way we build up our understanding of the system – piece by piece. We have flown several missions into the Amundsen Sea region on the west Antarctic coast in the past, but this was the first time where we could really see the context of all of these different glaciers – flowing into the same embayment, forming ice shelves, calving ice bergs, and drifting northwards through the sea ice.
The flight offers views of some of the most noteworthy features in Antarctica. Pine Island Glacier, one of world's fastest streaming glaciers, developed an 18 mile crack along its face in the fall of 2011 which spread further over the last few months. The crack will inevitably lead to breakage, dropping an iceberg which scientists have estimated will be close to 300 pound in size.
Bordering the glacier is one of two shield volcanoes we passed over during our flight. Pushing up through the Antarctic white mask, Mount Murphy diverts the ice streaming along the glacier. A steeply sloped massive 8 million year old peak, Mount Murphy pulls my thoughts back New York as it was named for an Antarctic bird expert from the American Museum of Natural History.
From Mount Murphy we continue to the second shield volcano, Mount Takahe. Ash from 7900 years ago found in an ice core from the neighboring Siple Dome has been attributed to an eruption from this volcano. This massive potentially active volcano is about 780 cubic kms in size. The volcano was named by a science team participating in the International Geophysical Year (1957-8) after the nickname of the plane providing their air support …an unusual name for a plane as its origin is that of a plump indigenous Māori bird from New Zealand which happens to be flightless! Regardless the rather round Mount Takahe soars high above the glacier as we move overtop.
From there we fly over the tongue of Thwaites Glacier as it calves icebergs into the Amundsen Sea. To read more about Thwaites check out my first blog of the season: http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2012/10/18/launching-the-season-with-a-key-mission-icebridge-antarctica-2012/

The Story at Ronne
The current mission is being flown to measure the flux of ice currently coming into the Ronne Ice Shelf from the surrounding Antarctic landmass. To determine this we focus on the 'grounding line', the area where the ice changes from being frozen solid to the land below to floating as part of the ice shelf. To understand how much ice is moving over the grounding line, we have to understand how much ice is at the grounding line, and to do this we have to fly along the grounding line (or slightly inshore of it).
In many areas of Antarctica, even knowing where the grounding line is takes a lot of work. Much of that work is done using satellite data through a process called "interferometry". This process compares the returning radar signal from different satellite passes to determine where the ice begins to move under the influence of the ocean tides. In this scale, ice that is responding to the rise and fall of the tides is floating ice, and from this we can mark the grounding line. While technique identifies the grounding line, it does not show how much ice is moving across it; to determine that we need to collect ice thickness measurements. For today's flight we moved just inland of the grounding line for about half of the Ronne Ice Shelf collecting ice thickness and other supporting data that will begin to fill in this important information.

The 'Skinny' on Antarctic Sea Ice
One of the trickier items in measuring sea ice is making the raw measurements of thicker and thinner ice. With only satellite measurements it is hard to get the true thickness of the ice, since the surface of the ice is often covered with snow that needs to be accounted for in our calculations. Using the snow radar on the IceBridge mission we can work out how much of what the satellite is measuring is actually snow.
The Bellinghausen Sea sits just to the west of the Antarctic peninsula and in the southern winter months is generally covered with sea ice. We have flown two Bellinghausen sea missions this season – one to map out to the furthest edges and another to looks at the gradient of sea ice change as you move away from the coast or shoreline. The second Bellinghausen mission was important because in running profiles in and out from the coast it allowed us to measure how ice thickness patterns vary with distance from the shore. We need to understand these patterns of ice thickness in the southern end of the planet, how they may be changing and what connection they have to the climate system.
There has been much less study done on southern sea ice than northern sea ice because we get very few opportunities to make the measurements we need. We have two high priority flights to the Weddell Sea (on the eastern side of the Antarctic peninsula), but so far it has not been possible to fly them because of the weather. Hopefully before the end of this season we will be able to fly both these flights and fill in more pieces in the sea ice story.

A Recovery Mission
Last year IceBridge had its first flights into East Antarctica when it flew some missions into the Recovery Glacier area. Recovery is a section of Antarctic ice that lies east of the peninsular arm of West Antarctica, tucked behind the Transantarctic Mountains, a dividing line that separates west from east. We know from Satellite data that Recovery and its tributaries have a deep reach, stretching well inland to capture ice and move it out into the Filchner Ice Shelf draining a large section of the East Antarctic ice sheet. But there is a lot we don't know about Recovery because the remoteness of the area has limited the number of surveys.
Several recent works have showed us that this area is important. Satellite measurements of the ice surface show small patches along the trunk of the glacier that are changing elevation more than their surroundings. These patches have been interpreted as lakes that lie under the ice sheet, coined the Recovery Subglacial Lakes. The lakes appear to drain and refill over time as the surface elevation over the lakes changes. To learn more about them and what they might tell us about the behavior of the glacier, we need to look under the ice.
But there is more we need to understand about this remote area, including simply needing to know the size and shape of the channel that delivers this ice out to the ice shelf and towards the Weddell Sea. Last year's mission gave us some data points to outline the channel, but this year will help us provide a more complete imaging of what lies below this East Antarctic ice conveyor belt.
We will fly cross sections along the lines of the retired ICESat satellite tracks, allowing us to compare the laser measurements we make of ice surface elevation to those made during the satellite mission. We will end the day flying along the Recovery channel to get another look at one of the interpreted lakes. Combining last years' data, ICESat data and this year's data will give us a better picture of the area that has been carved beneath the Recovery glacier, the amount of ice that can be moved through the glacier and its tributaries, and how the lakes under the ice might fit into the larger story.
Launching the Season with a Key Mission – IceBridge Antarctica 2012
October 2012 IceBridge Antarctica resumes … Mission goal…monitoring the polar regions…Mission target… determine changes in ice cover and thickness, refine models for future sea level rise…Mission instruments…airborne geophysics. Good luck team.
The crews have spent the last few weeks in Palmdale, where the DC8 is based, for instrument installation and test flights prior to our move down to Punta Arenas, our home base for IceBridge Antarctica.
Instrument Run Down: We are flying with the same instrument suite as last year allowing us to see above, below and through the ice. Laser altimetry, for surface ice measurements, measured by the NASA Airborne Topographic Mapper, visible band photography, to allow for draped imagery, from NASA's DMS (Digital Mapping System), three radar systems from Cresis to measure the ice thickness, composition and bed imagery (MCoRDS, Snow and KU band) and gravity to refine what is under the ice with Lamont using Sander Geophysics' AIRGrav gravimeter.
ATM and the gravimeter both require GPS base stations on the ground throughout the deployment. Combined with the GPS receivers on the plane these allow very precise positioning of the aircraft, and the sensors on board, which is critical to all the measurements we make. Setting up the GPS stations is one of the first jobs in Punta Arenas.
Our First Mission for 2012 is Thwaites Glacier – Going Straight to the Heart of the Changes. On our way out of Punta Arenas, out past the airport, I noticed this feature in the landscape:
It appears to be the paleo-shoreline from the last interglacial (~80,000 yr BP), when sea level was higher than present. The very flat terrain results in any sea level change causing a large shoreline retreat. Evidence like this of changing shorelines, is one method scientists use to determine past sea level under a different climate. As we study different areas around the world, we must account for the local changes in how the land has risen or fallen. Changes in sea level can be a combination of an adjusted world/ocean wide (eustatic) sea level and the more local response from the rebounding (isostatic ) of the land that was previously depressed under a glacier as local ice is unloaded during deglaciation. Here the history of the shoreline was governed by a combination of changes in eustatic sea level and the isostatic response to deglaciation of the local ice load (De Muro et al. 2012). Putting together information from around the world we eventually build up a picture of the global changes that have occurred in sea level. Changes in sea level are directly connected to our work monitoring polar ice.
When we fly over the ice, we are monitoring how the ice sheets are changing at present, and learning how to understand the complicated interactions between the atmosphere, the ocean and the ice. Studying this helps us to understand which ice bodies are most likely to contribute to sea level, how quickly they changed in the past, and how quickly they might change in the future. It's good to get this reminder as we head out on our first flight – especially as it is to survey the area where the glacier switches from being frozen to the land below [the bed] to where it goes afloat, called the 'grounding line'.
Our first flight of the season will be along the Thwaites Glacier. Thwaites and Pine Island Glacier are two 'glaciers of interest', both large outlet glaciers that serve as conduits out of the ice mass of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), moving ice off the land into the surrounding ocean, and long considered its Achilles heel. Thwaites glacier has a very wide region of fast ice flow over its grounding line, and a relatively small change in that width has the potential to greatly increase the flux of ice into the ocean. Through the radar and gravity measurements collected on previous IceBridge missions we have been able to get a sense of the bed shape tipping downward as you move inland from the ice edge, and where pockets of water lie under the icesheet. Our goal today is to collect enough data to develop a more complete image of what lies under the ice in this area.
2009 Operation IceBridge surveyed a grid in front of Thwaites grounding line and identified a ridge in the rock of the sea floor. In the last few months a large section of Thwaites glacial tongue broke off just seaward of that ridge. This mission will fly back and forth along nine lines parallel to the grounding line of Thwaites glacier. In combination with flights from previous years, this will give us a map of the grounding zone at 2.5 km spacing.
We are hoping to learn more about goes on underneath this icy reach of the Earth each time we take flight.
Monitoring Antarctica's Changing Glaciers – No Longer Like 'Watching Paint Dry'
By Kirsty Tinto & Mike Wolovick
As little as a few decades ago you could ask a scientist what it was like to monitor the changing ice in Antarctica and the response might have been "Like watching paint dry" — seemingly no change, with no big surprises and not too exciting. Well times have changed. The Ice Bridge Mission is deep into its third Antarctic season collecting data on the condition of the continental scale ice sheet and the floating sea ice that surrounds it, and has noted some exciting results.
On a recent survey flight, which was designed to be fairly routine flying back and forth across the main trunk of Pine Island Glacier, a large crack was spotted in the floating ice tongue in the front of the glacier — a crack large enough to bury a building 16 stories high. This means more changes are coming in the future of this active ice stream.
Pine Island Glacier has been under intense focus as one of the fastest moving, and rapidly thinning glaciers in Antarctica. The planned survey was a grid back and forth across the main trunk of Pine Island Glacier. The pilots refer to this kind of survey as "mowing the lawn." This type of data collection is essential for putting together a more complete "picture" of the glacier surface, depth, and its underlying surface, and its "grounding line." The grounding line, shown here as the white line running through the image of the survey plan, is the front edge of where the glacier is frozen all the way to the bottom surface beneath it. The glacier extends beyond the grounding line but as a "floating tongue" of ice.
Glacial tongues can be many meters thick, but because they rest on water they are susceptible to warming from the water below. It is not unexpected for sections of the tongues of glaciers to break off – in fact for this glacier scientists expect to see it occur about twice a decade (the last notable occurrence was in 2007). It is, however, impressive to see it actually developing, and to realize the scale of the crack as it begins – at least 50 meters deep, and up to 250 meters wide. Yes this is much better than watching paint dry.
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory has been a partner in this NASA led project collecting airborne gravity. The Ice Bridge Mission is designed to fill the gap between two satellite missions, IceSat I and IceSat II, collecting data on ice thickness in both polar regions. IceSat II is intended to be in orbit in another 4 to 5 years.
The Multiple Faces of Antarctic Ice
The IceBridge mission has been having trouble getting flights up recently, which we have been assured is par for the course in this kind of work, but still it is frustrating! Here we are down in Punta Arenas waiting…waiting…waiting. We have faced a series of weather related stoppages and then the normal issues with equipment repairs causing this season to unfold with agonizing slowness. We were, of course, spoiled by all our successes of the prior campaigns, when flights seemed to lift off with uncanny regularity!
However, last week there was a period where the weather and airplane were in synch and we got three flying days in a row, one to the South Pole with my colleague onboard, and two that I was on along the Western edge of the Antarctic Peninsula. The targets of my two flights were the ice shelves, where the ice flows off the Antarctic continent and ends floating in the sea. (see image)
I was eager to be involved in these two flights along the Antarctic Peninsula as they were to survey the Getz and the Dotson ice shelves which involves flying over the Amundsen Sea and past Thwaites Glacier. These floating ice shelves appear in a line, Thwaites, then Dotson, and then Getz (moving from the direction of tip of the peninsula downward). I have been working on data that were collected last year from the Thwaites area so it was good to at least be flying in the 'neighborhood'. The Dotson flight was particularly useful for me, since the grid flown over it can be connected in to the Thwaites grid, extending my survey area and our understanding of that area.
I hadn't been on a science flight before, so everything was new to me. There is a network on the plane so we can all sit with our laptops and follow our position on the map, see where we are going, how high and fast we are flying, and other information. There are additional cameras looking forwards and downwards, so we have a wide field of view in addition to looking out the window (which we did plenty of!) (see image)!
The different kinds of ice we flew over captured my interest…from icebergs in the open water, to big plates of sea ice, the expanse of flat, floating ice shelves and the crevassed glaciers. Each has a function in the polar region and studying the movements, expanse, depth of each can tell us a different piece of information about our changing polar region. There was a lot of variation in what was all essentially ice. For this flight, however, the targets was ice shelves, where the ice is floating on the sea. Collecting gravity data, which is Lamont's role in this project, is important on these surveys because while the other instruments can measure the top (laser), bottom and internal surfaces of the ice (radar), they don't "see" all the way down to the sea floor. The gravity measurement is controlled by the bathymetry of the sea floor, as well as by changes in geology, so we can use it to model the sea floor. Knowing what is under the shelves, how the ice is "hinged" to the continent, and how the ocean water beneath is coming into contact with the ice flowing off the continent is important to understanding how that ice might melt or move in the future.
On the trip home, I sat in the jump seat in the cockpit, a real treat! We flew back in to Punta Arenas over vegetated valleys, the landscape still marvelous but very different from how we had spent the day (see image).
Measuring the Ice From a Bird's Eye View!
Operation IceBridge Antarctica ramps up for a second year of ice surveys. Originating from Chile, a series of airborne missions will be flown almost daily from the airbase in Punta Arenas. Using a DC-8 jet airliner, the flights will run up to 11 hours each as they cross Drake's Passage and the Southern Ocean to reach their destinations of monitoring Antarctic sea ice, the Antarctic peninsula and the western edges of the continent, before returning back to Chile each night. Flights will include some low altitude (~1,500 ft.) flights, and a few high altitude flights (~35,000 ft.). For this season we will re-fly some of last year's lines as well as adding some new locations to the flight plans. One area to be resurveyed is an area of ongoing change – the Pine Island Glacier. This year the project design includes flying further back over the major trunk of the glacial ice stream in order to better understand the broader glacier dynamics. The sea ice flights are also of interest to the science community since Antarctic sea ice, unlike Arctic sea ice, is actually growing in extent. Developing a better understanding of why this might be occurring is extremely important to understanding the full Antarctic climate dynamics.
The instruments on the plane include laser to map and identify surface changes (Laser Vegetation Imaging Sensor [LVIS] & Airborne Topographic Mapper [ATM]), radar to penetrate through the snow/ice and image below providing information on the bedrock support and internal ice characteristics, and gravity to measure the size and shape of any ocean water filled cavities at the outlets of some of the main fast-moving glaciers. Before embarking on the actual mission, test flights must be flown to check each instrument. The five-hour test flights cruise over and around the Mojave desert, with different flight lines planned to test different instruments. To me the most exciting was a 'pitch and roll' over Lake Mead for the LVIS scanning instrument to collect surface topography data. The pitch is like putting the plane on a seesaw and tipping it forward and backward – which feels very impressive, and shows up in the vertical acceleration felt by the gravimeter and the butterflies in my stomach! The roll maneuver involves flipping the plane side to side (although not all the way over), and looks very impressive out the window! The instruments performed well so we move on to Chile.
The DC-8 carries 40 passengers and the seats are pretty big, so after a comfortable long-haul flight we spend Wednesday setting up the ground station – a hut where LVIS, ATM and gravity all have GPS antennae set up outside – and getting the gravimeter ready to measure. Our gravity team includes Jim Cochran, and me from Lamont and Kevin and Sean from the Sanders gravity group. Because the gravimeter must stay plugged in at all times, by NASA guidelines it must be monitored round the clock. We switch on and off this duty and every six hours swap generators and refuel. Easy. However the wind is blowing 76 km/hr, and gusting to 94 km/hr, so walking out to the plane is a challenge. The good thing about Punta Arenas is that there are not many things blowing around – anything not tied down blew away a long time ago!
Four Times Around the World in 40 Days
For the first time in more than 40 days, the nose of the NASA DC-8 is pointing north after taking off from Punta Arenas airport. We have completed our Antarctic survey flights and are heading back home to Palmdale, California. But before we start climbing to cruising altitude we are flying at 300 ft above the Strait of Magellan just outside Punta Arenas to collect atmospheric chemistry data. After two passes over the strait, we head north towards Santiago and enjoy the spectacular view of the Patagonian Ice Fields and the Torres del Paine from 35,000 feet.
Over the past five weeks, the ICE Bridge teams have collected a landmark data set over Antarctica. We had originally planned to fly 17 missions but actually accomplished 21. We have flown more than 155,000 kilometers or almost 100,000 miles. This is almost four times around the world in 40 days. During this time, we collected high precision measurements of the ice surface elevation of many glaciers and ice shelves in Antarctica. We have also mapped the thickness of the glacier ice and snow cover, have measured the freeboards and snow thicknesses of the sea ice in the Weddell and Ross Seas, and have collected gravity measurements that will allow us to estimate the water depth beneath the floating glacier tongues. We have collected an enormous amount of data and are keen to analyze it with our colleagues when we are back in our labs. From the analysis of this data we will gain a much more detailed understanding of how the glaciers, ice sheets, and sea ice respond to changes in the climate system.
A project of this size is only possible with the support of many people. We could not have done this without the help and support of our Chilean friends and colleagues in Punta Arenas and Valdivia, the airport and hotel staff, and the many NASA and university people back home who have worked long hours to make this project happen. We thank NSF for giving us access to their forecasts, and help and assistance from the forecaster at the British Rothera Base (thanks Tony). For planning our flights, we also acknowledge our use of and dependence on the UCAR/NCAR NSF-supported Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System. We had terrific aircraft crews both in the air and on the ground as well as excellent science teams. We all had a great time in Punta Arenas and are looking forward to come back next year for another ICE Bridge campaign over Antarctica.
A Breathtaking But Fragile Landscape
Michael Studinger, Instrument Co-Principal Investigator, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory:
PUNTA ARENAS, Chile–The weather forecast for our survey over the Larsen C Ice Shelf looks good. Given the difficult weather over the past couple of days this is a welcome change. After studying satellite images and computer models and talking to the meteorologist at the Punta Arenas airport we decide to fly. We will follow the flow of ice from Antarctica's interior to the ocean where the ice breaks into icebergs and eventually melts.
The flight will take us through an almost complete tour of the Antarctic cryosphere. Our tour begins over the small ice caps of the Antarctic Peninsula. The snow and ice that forms these ice caps eventually flows downhill through steep valleys, reaching glaciers and ice streams.
I am seated in the cockpit behind our two pilots to get a better view of the scenery. We are descending into a steep valley filled with ice on its way to the remnants of the Larsen B Ice Shelf that broke apart a few years ago. The ice here forms a huge floating surface that appears endless. Warm seawater lies below the ice; we are here to study how it melts the ice shelf.
The ice flowing into the valleys is pushing the ice shelves away. Eventually huge ice chunks break off to form icebergs. Our next survey line takes us to the edge of the ice shelf where several gigantic icebergs can be seen floating in the distance, along with pools of open water. After crisscrossing what's left of Larsen C we head back to the crest of the Antarctic Peninsula and repeat a different survey line. Each time I look out of the window I see a breathtaking but fragile landscape.

Washington - Mar 29, 2010 - On April 7, 2010, the Federal Communications Commission will hold a workshop to explore legal and technical challenges associated with the development and deployment of an agency-wide Consolidated Licensing System (CLS). This workshop is part of the Commission's long-term reform initiative to examine certain functions of its current licensing and application systems in an effort to improve its spectrum management and to develop a transparent, easily accessible, data driven, efficient, cost-effective and green consolidated licensing system.
The workshop will be held in the FCC's Commission Meeting Room located in Washington, DC, at 10 a.m. The meeting is open to the public. The Commission invites input into this process so as to inform its decision making in regard to improving system functionality. Admittance will be limited to seating availability. Registration is not required unless viewing the workshop via WebEx.
The Commission will also provide streamed coverage of the meeting via www.fcc.gov/live.
During the workshop, audience members will have the opportunity to suggest questions in writing. Remote participants will be able to suggest questions via WebEx. Register for WebEx access. Questions can be submitted prior to the workshop to email@example.com (use "CLS Workshop questions" as the subject line).
A notice of proposed rulemaking will be issued after the workshops have been completed. Because of the complexity and size of this project, the Commission expects to deploy the new consolidated licensing system in phases. While the consolidated system will be implemented over a period of years, many new features will become available once a service is deployed.
The Commission has established a page for the CLS on its Reboot website.
The licensing systems and databases currently used by the Commission's bureaus and offices include:
The Wireline Competition Bureau (WCB) currently does not have an online filing system and handles all license processing manually. The FCC is considering transitioning WCB's manual filing system for applications made pursuant to Section 214 of the Telecommunications Act to the new consolidated system. In addition, the Commission anticipates that other electronic applications that currently provide access to data across multiple databases will be incorporated into the CLS, e.g., General Menu Reports System's (GENMEN) search capabilities.
Under the new CLS, the Commission envisions that users will obtain access to all applications, licenses and authorizations associated with the FRN under which the user has logged in. The information that would be available through this single sign-on will be added as each existing system is phased into the CLS.
Currently, each system identified above requires the use of different forms to file applications and license requests. Many of these forms have the same purpose and include the same or similar questions, e.g., name, address, phone number. As part of its initiative to explore the creation of a consolidated licensing system, the Commission seeks to examine the potential of using a single form series intended for use among all applicants. The Commission foresees using a common Main Form, on which will be collected applicable information for all license and application types; Bureau-specific information for specific filing purposes and services would be collected through supplemental schedules as needed.
Finally, the Commission is considering requiring electronic filing of all new consolidated forms used in the CLS.
The FCC will hold additional workshops if needed to further discuss and refine system requirements. The FCC intends to focus the initial workshop on site and web-based interaction and discussions on those areas where consolidation is expected to be most challenging.

Le Mill: Address Book
Le Mill's Cecilia Parikh moved from New York to the bustling city of Mumbai over three years ago. Co-founded with Julie Leymarie and Aurelie de Limlette, her store has brought a colourful fashion flair to Mumbai's industrial shipping district. Speaking of her love for the city, Cecilia revels in its vibrancy - 'I love the energy' she says. 'I also love that you spend a lot of time with your friends and family at home. I love this cosy atmosphere.' Housed in a former rice mill, Cecilia's store is changing the face of Mumbai's retail landscape; supporting the finest in Indian and international fashion and homeware. 'I really love being part of this dynamic city and a spectator to the amazing changes it is undergoing' she tells me. As a Superstore contender, we asked Cecilia to give us an insider's guide into Mumbai's best places to eat, relax and soak up the sights...
Britannia & Co
Located in the colonial business district of the Ballard Estate, the Britannia Café was opened in 1923 by Rashid Kohinoor. One of the last of its kind, this family run business is an emblem of Parsi café culture and serves a fusion of Indian and Iranian cuisine. Seated at rickety wooden tables laid with checked gingham tablecloths, customers can enjoy Britannia's signature Berry Pulav, a dish created using saffron golden rice, curried potatoes, fried cashews and Tehran imported red barberries. With each days specials scrawled on a blackboard, this is no frills dining of the highest quality, and a worthy education into a dying Parsi tradition.
Cecilia says: 'This is one of the last Iranian cafés in the city. In these cafes, the Iranians made wonderful dishes that are a beautiful combination of Indian and Iranian cuisine.'
Project 88
Tucked inside one of the old lanes of the white-washed Colaba district, gallery space Project 88 exhibits the best in modern Indian art. Housed in a century old printing press, the gallery was opened by Sree Banerjee in 2006, and supports emerging and long term artists including Rags Media Collective, Tejal Shah and Hemali Bhuttoz. Keen to create an international platform for Indian talent, Project 88 champions experimentation and innovation across a wide range of media. It is the perfect space for a lesson in the future of Indian art.
Cecilia says:'This is a cutting edge gallery that shows fantastic Indian contemporary art. I visit once a month and sit to chat with my friend the gallerist Sree Banerjee.'
Housed in a beautiful 19th century colonial building, Ellipsis provides the best in luxurious modern-American cuisine. With interior design by California-based German designer Thomas Schoos, the space mixes modern with vintage: a private dining area comes complete with a kaleidoscopic Zoolander wall print, giant wrought-iron lamps and a vintage drinking cart. Opening only a year ago, owners Rohan Talwar and Ranbir Batra have created an exclusive yet relaxed space with an original approach to dining. With a menu based on local ingredients, diners select from an innovative menu categorised by Garden, Farm and Sea, with dishes including Baji fish tacos, aubergine puffs and dark chocolate soufflé.
Cecilia says:'This is almost the only place in the city where you have a chef in the kitchen working with local ingredients to make tasty and inventive food.'
The Dome Bar, Intercontinental City Hotel
Situated on Marine Drive, one of the the largest single art deco boulevards in the world, the Dome Bar is an elegant and romantic setting for enjoying a thirst-quenching cocktail. Accompanied by the tinkling sounds of live music and with a refreshing dose of salty sea breeze, this is the perfect spot for watching the sun set over the Arabian sea.
Cecilia says:'I go there whenever I have had a long day or on a Saturday evening to unwind with a friend.'
Bhau Daji Lad Museum
Established in 1872, The Bhau Daji Lad Museum is located inside Mumbai's Jijamata Udyaan or Victoria Gardens. Re-opened in 2008 after an intensive restoration process, the museum is a symbol of lavish Victorian grandeur. Housing a collection of clay figurines documenting city life, and huge installations by major contemporary Indian artists, the museum is a visual history of India's past and present. Artist Reena Kallat's installation Cobwebs/ Crossings currently covers the outside of museums' walls. Created using hundreds of rubber stamps, the piece bears the names of streets that have changed throughout Mumbai's history and creates a visual dialogue about Mumbai's indigenous and colonial past.
Cecilia says:'The result of the museum is a beautiful fusion of Victorian architecture, maquette art in the form of the figurines and contemporary sculpture. I go whenever a new exhibition is announced.'

|The class will address specifically the culture or civilization of the ancient Maya through archaeological remains, art, architecture, and ethnohistoric documentation. Students will be introduced to the origins of Maya civilization through the peak of Maya civilization, along with the collapse and colonial contact with the Maya. Along with the chronological perspective of these developments, an additional thematic approach will also be taken to the course. A few important themes to be addressed in the course include ancient Maya politics, economics, social organization, religion, art, architecture, technology, and material culture.
|Anthropology of Babies
|What do babies have to teach us about being human? In this winter term course, students will explore pregnancy, birth, and infancy in evolutionary and cross-cultural contexts. Students will learn how assisted birth evolved in humans in parallel with examination of the diversification of the rituals, beliefs, and symbols associated with pregnancy, birth, and infant care cross-culturally. They will examine stages of infant development and the ways parenting practices shape health and development. Through exploration of ethnographies, films, guest lectures, field trips, and a variety of active learning exercises in the classroom, students will engage some of the key controversies surrounding contemporary pregnancy, birth, feeding, and infant care practices. Students will complete a diverse series of writing assignments, field reports, and a final research paper.

|Communications in a Global Age
|Contemporary media play a vital role in society. In this course, students study the importance of books, newspapers, magazines, recordings, movies, radio, television, the Internet and mobile media, and the messages carried through news, public relations and advertising. The course emphasizes the relationship of media and democracy, ethical decision-making, the diversity of audiences, and the global impact of communications.
|The Fellows Experience
|This course provides students a domestic travel experience that offers an inside look at media and communications industries. Prerequisite: Communications Fellows, application required.
|Italian Cinema
|Italy has given human civilization among its most precious works of art (The Sistine Chapel, The Mona Lisa); literature (Dante, Calvino); political science (Machiavelli, Gramsci); music (Verdi, Puccini); science (Galileo, Volta); cars and design (Ferrari, Lamborghini); films (Rossellini, Fellini); and, of course, pizza. Unfortunately (or maybe it's because of that?), it has also given civilization one other thing: the Mafia. The Mafia is a very complicated thing. It is cultural, economic, financial historical, sociological, geographical, linguistic, national, international, and VERY political phenomenon. It has to do with issues concerning class, gender, the family. This course will look at the Mafia through the prism of Italian and Italian-American films, trying to discern the differences, especially the difference between myth and reality. We will accompany, so to speak, our movies with some literary, political, historical, and critical readings in order to read these movies in a comparative fashion and in their historical context. Films will include Rossellini's spectacular version of Tommasi di Lampedusa's The Leopard, Alberto Lattuada's Il Mafioso, Francesco Rosi's Hands over the City and Salvatore Giuliano, Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather I and II, Martin Scorsese's Casino, Matteo Garrone's Gomorrah, Marco Trucco's Excellent Cadavers, as well as one episode of The Sopranos. All readings, movies, and discussions will be in English. This course is writing intensive. Open to students in the third or fourth year of study. Counts toward the Italian Studies minor (and the International Studies major for students who are not counting it as their COR capstone).
|College Athletic Administration
|This course provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of intercollegiate athletics in higher education. Although intercollegiate athletics has played an integral and undeniably significant role in the American system of higher education since the mid-nineteenth century, the debate about its purpose and how to govern college athletics still exists. This course will include an historical overview of college sport (1850 - present), an introduction to the organizational structures and policies governing member institutions and will focus on a variety of events and issues that speak to the impact of intercollegiate athletics at colleges and universities. Topics will be used to challenge student's ability to critically examine current administrative issues. Many issues will challenge personal philosophies of sport and its place in higher education. Topics include-among others-the debate surrounding required academic standards for college athletes, athletic department relationships with corporate entities and media partners, the impact of sports programs on campus culture, student-athlete well-being, the role of college and university presidents in intercollegiate athletics, and how college sports interacts with Title IX and gender equity. Through readings and discussions we will consider various prescriptive alternatives for the challenges facing the college athletics. This course is writing intensive. Open to students in the third or fourth year of study. Counts toward the Sport and Event Management minor.
|Entrepreneurship and Arts
|Musicians, artists, writers and other artistic people face special challenges creating and operating ventures focused on their artistic endeavors. This course, designed for students who are not majoring in Business, addresses how to start a new enterprise and many of the unique problems and circumstances encountered in establishing and operating such a venture. Since many arts organizations are not-for-profit, special attention will be placed on the idiosyncrasies of non-profit organizations. Emphasis will be placed on the development of business and project plans and the operations of arts-related ventures. This course is writing intensive. Open to students in the third or fourth year of study.
|Globally Networked Age
|In this course, we will explore the changing nature of work from a socio-historical perspective in which particular emphasis will be placed on current trends and the resulting societal implications in our global age of an increasingly globally networked economy. In the process, we will look at how work has been created, organized, performed, valued and compensated at different points in history. The course will also include exploration into credentialing and hiring practices related to issues of education, skills, experience, gender, race, class, etc. The overarching goal of the course will be for students to have a better understanding of work and the implications of current work-related trends within the larger socio-historical context. This course is writing intensive. Open to students in the third or fourth year of study.
|Substance Abuse and Human Behavior
|This course provides an interdisciplinary overview of factors influencing alcohol and other drug use including facets of personality, culture and genetics. Students examine issues from a public health model and investigate prevention strategies based on lifestyle choices and harm reduction. Local, national and international issues are explored through presentations, class discussions, field trips and a research paper on alcohol and other drug issues in a country other than the United States. This course is writing intensive. Open to students in the third or fourth year of study. Counts toward Public Health Studies for students not using it as the Core Capstone.
|Wealth and Poverty
|This course will focus on the profound disparity between people who live in wealth and people who live in poverty at the beginning of the 21stýcentury. Particular attention will be paid to moral responsibility and accountability of people in the First World to the problems of global inequality. This course is writing intensive. Open to students in the third or fourth year of study.

Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of establishing a positive classroom environment or work/community settings for students with disabilities. The role of the teacher in regard to managing student behavior will be explored from a variety of theoretical perspectives. Strategies for establishing a classroom environment or other appropriate settings in which children feel safe to take academic risks, as well strategies for effectively addressing specific behavior problems in the classroom will be discussed. Pre-requisites: EDU 211 or SOC 243ýand admission to the teacher education program. Offered winter and spring.

|Western Imagination of China
|This course will explore representations and interpretations of China in Western travel accounts from the 13th century to the present. It will examine the way in which the image of "China," and by extension any country, is not a fixed and unchanging entity, but rather a set of representations that are constantly shifting and adapting to reflect historical conditions and concerns. Each week we will focus on one piece of travel writing. The readings will include works by the 13th century merchant explorer Marco Polo, the 19th century missionary Evariste-Regis Huc, and the contemporary Dutch-American travel writer J. Maarten Troost. Following in the footsteps of these tourists we will explore historical changes and geographical variation through their eyes. Students will gain an understanding of China's changing status vis-a-vis the West from early modern to contemporary history. They will learn to lead seminar-style discussions and conduct a group research project that will form the basis of oral presentations.

Students of any sexual orientation or gender are welcome in the course, and there are no course prerequisites; however, students should be willing to grapple with upper-level history assignments and be open to learning about people who may have been different from or similar to themselves. Counts toward Women's/Gender Studies minor.
|Return to top
|Culture, History, and Art of Iraq
|During the last decade, the United States was involved in war with Iraq. Many Americans and especially the young know very little about this country and why the government decided to send the troops there. Most of what they know comes from the media, just bits and pieces here and there about what really happened in that country. But after the war was over and the troops came home, in order to have a future understanding of what happened and why, we need to know more about that country, about the other side's ways of thinking and believing. By showing the history, culture, and mentality of Iraqis, this course will help students in a neutral way" to know more about Iraq and the war that took place in that part of the world." Counts toward Civilization or Expression requirement. Counts toward Middle East Studies minor and International Studies major.

|Return to top
|Jews and Christians in Antiquity
|The seminar will discuss the emergence of Christianity out of its Jewish matrix as well as the coexistence of Jews and Christians in Classical Antiquity and Late Antiquity, well into the early Islamic period (roughly the first millennium CE). We will examine the historical interaction between the two religions and their rhetorical depictions of one another. While the seminar has a strong historical component, its main focus will lie on the question of religious otherness within a confined geographical and intellectual space, and on the ethical issues related to it. Thus, in addition to acquiring knowledge about an important topic in a crucial period of history, students will gain insight into the processes by which religious difference came to be articulated, and religious otherness to be defined. These insights will be brought to bear on present-day discussions of religious pluralism and tolerance.
|Do All Dogs Go to Heaven
|This course examines the formation of definitions of the human in contrast to animals. We will examine the portrayal of human-animal relations, animal religiosity, and human responsibilities towards animals as depicted in a number of religious traditions, from Islam to Buddhism. By reading scriptural, theological, and devotional texts, we will explore how religions define and shape what it means to be human in contrast to animals and discuss the implications for contemporary ethics and practice.
|Judaism and Food - Beyond Kosher
|Are we what we eat? This course uses food as a lens to examine Judaism and Jewish identity. We will follow food through Jewish ethnic, cultural, and religious history. We will investigate all aspects of food production - growing, processing, cooking, and eating. In this course, we will study Jewish biblical dietary laws, rabbinic regulations, and modern kosher cookbooks to investigate the formation and flexibility of Jewish foodways.
|Sexuality and Salvation in Christian and Muslim Worlds
|People often imagine an impassable gulf between religious doctrines and secular culture, but there are many religious adherents who see no conflict. This course explores theories of gender, sexuality, and race in contemporary Christianity and Islam. We will focus on the complex questions, resources, and strategies of holding many identities together that often, from the outside, seem conflicting.
|Return to top
|Sociology Through Film
|This course explores sociological principles, concepts, theories, ideas, themes and issues as they may be illustrated in cinema, television and commercials. Relevant sociological readings are assigned to accompany the specific sociological content being illustrated in each session. Themes for each section will vary and be determined by each professor. Offered winter.
|Gender and Crime
|This course examines how gender shapes patterns in crime, victimization, and criminal justice, with an emphasis on the U.S. context. The course adopts an intersectional approach that recognizes the importance of sexuality, social class, and race/ethnicity for understanding men's and women's experiences with crime and justice. Topics include sexual violence; street harassment; feminization of poverty and the gender gap; masculinities and crime; and gender, sexuality, and bias crime. The role of gender in criminological theory will be explored in depth.

Likely most PC shooter fans know People Can Fly's Painkiller series well. Starting in 2004, the game and its expansions always stuck to straight-up action spliced with big and wild guns (including the infamous shuriken lightning gun), owing its heritage in part to the likes of Doom, Quake, and Duke Nukem, and pulling it all off near-flawlessly.
Though much additionial content followed the initial release, we've not seen a whole game since. Around the time of People Can Fly's acquisition by Epic Games two years ago, a mod group now known as Mindware Interactive tried their hand at the series with the expansion Painkiller: Overdose, receiving mixed reviews -- that studio is currently working on the similarly styled Dreamkiller. In April we heard word another amateur developer, Homegrown Games, would be working on a sequel to the first title, appropriately named Painkiller Resurrection and set for PC with the possibility of a 360 port after that release. Some footage of it in action was seen at E3 this year, but aside from that, not much has been known.
Well, today a proper trailer surfaces; it's not great quality but the gameplay looks true enough to the series, which is surprising given this is coming from the developer of the widely panned The Legacy of Cthulhu.
The system requirements are quite low for this one, as you can see from the game's profile page, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Running on a new version of the PAIN engine, Painkiller Resurrection packs features like ambient occlusion, motion blur, and all the tricks we're used in recent years. In terms of gameplay, fans can expect the addition of a co-op campaign on top of the single-player "trapped in Hell" experience. The game is due out sometime this year.

NARS Buenos Aires Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil ($24.00 for 0.09 oz.) is described as a "nude beige pink." It's a light peach beige with a subtle shine. The color coverage is mostly opaque. It's not quite as glossy or as shiny as other hues within the Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil range, though. MAC Naturally Eccentric is lighter. MAC Peachstock is darker, more orange. Guerlain Guerlinade is slightly darker. What I like about the color is that it's more universally wearable–it's not so pale and light that it becomes the kind of nude that can easily wash out complexions. There's enough warmth, color, and opaqueness to give lips a lighter look without washing them out.Read Full Review
Guerlain Quand Vient l'Ete (141) Rouge Automatique Lipstick
Guerlain Quand Vient l'Ete (141) Rouge Automatique Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a coral-orange with soft tangerine shimmer. Benefit Saucy is similar but with more shimmer. Dior Versailles is pinker. Cle de Peau Leonardis is a touch lighter but very similar. MAC Crosswires is close, though it doesn't have the shimmer. MAC Viva Glam Cyndi is darker, more vibrant.Read Full Review
Spoiled by Wet 'n' Wild Designated Driver Nail Lacquer
Spoiled by Wet 'n' Wild Designated Driver Nail Lacquer ($1.99 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is a bright sunshine yellow with slight orange tones and a cream finish. I think the color is so appropriate for the upcoming summer season, but you will need to be a little patient. The polish has a tendency to pull if you do not wait for each coat to completely dry before putting on another coat. Some polishes are more forgiving in this aspect, but with this one, you'll be waiting about five to ten minutes between coats before you can go for the second. The color coverage is nearly opaque in two coats, but you can see a hint of visible nail line. The consistency wasn't too thick or too thin, so I think you should be able to do a third coat to get totally opaque color and help hide any application issues.Read Full Review

NARS Charade Eyeshadow Duo
NARS Charade Eyeshadow Duo ($34.00 for 0.14 oz.) is described as a "matte smoky plum" and "muted mauve." NARS fans that prefer duos with more contrast may like this one, because the shades differ from each other noticeably but still complement each other well.Read Full Review

Guerlain Guet-Apens (167) Rouge Automatique Lipstick
Guerlain Guet-Apens (167) Rouge Automatique Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a reddened berry with soft raspberry red shimmer. The color coverage is semi-opaque, but it doesn't give the most even coverage. Guerlain L'Heure Bleue is redder. Dior Nocturne is redder and has gold shimmer. Dior Technicolor Red is redder and brighter. Guerlain Nuit d'Amour is a bit darker. MAC Rebel is a bit redder and more opaque.Read Full Review
There are four MAC Lipsticks ($14.50 for 0.10 oz.) debuting with the Reel Sexy collection that will hit stores on April 5th. They are: Heroine (bright violet plum), Pink Popcorn (lavender), Reel Sexy (light bright coral), and Watch Me Simmer (bright pink-orange).Read Full Review

When to concede in Olympic curling?[edit]
The article says "In the Winter Olympics, a team may concede after finishing any end during a round-robin game," but after the 7-point end in the UK vs US 2014 round-robin women's game commentator Pete Fenson said a team couldn't concede until after the 6th end during the round robin. Pete's a bronze medal winner; did he misspeak, or is the article wrong? Jere7my (talk) 06:42, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- It's possible the rule has changed, as this is an instance of a rule that changes frequently. -- Earl Andrew - talk 07:48, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- There is usually a minimum number of ends that needs to be played in these top-level competitions, which I think is usually six ends. I remember it was like this for one of the Briers where a team was outscored greatly and had to pay a fine for conceding earlier than the sixth end. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 07:58, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
Detroit Club[edit]
I don't understand the need to single out when the sport started in the US. they are not very relevant to the sport. I propose to remove the paragraph regarding the Detroit curling club. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 09:02, 17 February 2014 (UTC) mikitukka
- Agree that this para should go but not because it is US-centric but because there is no reference cited and a bit of research following the links in it would indicate that the key points are not actually true. Ex nihil (talk) 12:59, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
- I also agree that the US info is inappropriate as they are not a world curling power, and had considered changing it myself. One could make an argument to exchange US info for Canadian info, which would be very relevant - but in the interests of neutrality, perhaps replacement with info on the sport's arrival in North America would be best.Ian mckenzie (talk) 00:31, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
This section could be expanded to include the very important movement from outdoor to indoor ice, from natural to artificial ice, and the origins of pebbling. Ian mckenzie (talk) 23:59, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
How Many Rings?[edit]
The introduction says: a target area which is segmented into four concentric rings.
The "Equipment" section says: A target, the house, is marked at each end of the sheet. The house consists of three concentric rings.
Which is it?
- Four - There is a 12-foot, 8-foot, 4-foot and one-foot ring which is commonly referred to as the button. --Coppercanuck (talk) 03:07, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
Old People Sport[edit]
Under "curling culture/amateur sport" the article states that: "because accuracy, strategy, skill, and experience are more valuable in curling than traditional sports virtues of speed, stamina, and strength, most competitive curlers are older than their counterparts in other sports." Like a number of sections in the article, this statement lacks citations, and would also seem to be demonstrably false. From what I've seen, the world's top curlers are getting increasingly younger. Also, what "traditional" sports are being used as a benchmark for age? Some of the top skiers are in the 30s, and a few are still competing in their 40s. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 22:05, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- Like any sport, younger people are going to have the advantage of youth, but there are plenty of old curlers are still active and very good, like Glenn Howard, Jeff Stoughton and Sherry Anderson just to name a few. -- Earl Andrew - talk 22:22, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Penn State was faced with hiring its second head coach in three seasons late last year when Bill O'Brien left for the Houston Texans.
By January, the Nittany Lions found O'Brien's replacement when James Franklin was lured away from Vanderbilt. Franklin has yet to coach a game for PSU, but his hire drew strong praise Thursday from one online publication.
As PennLive's Dustin Hockensmith writes, Franklin was called the best coaching hire of the offseason by 247 Sports.
Also on Thursday, the Hershey Bears introduced new head coach Troy Mann at a press conference as well as new assistant coach Bryan Helmer.

49. Kassim AA, Fabry ME, Nagel RL "Acute priapism associated with the use of sildenafil in a patient with sickle cell trait." Blood 95 (2000): 1878-9 best place to buy viagra
Your healthcare provider may change your dose of Cialis depending on how you respond to the medicine, and on your health condition.Flibanserin, a drug produced by Sprout Pharmaceuticals and marketed as Addyi, recently passed an FDA advisory committee meeting.Metabolism and Excretion: Sildenafil is cleared predominantly by the CYP3A4 (major route) and CYP2C9 (minor route) hepatic microsomal isoenzymes. The major circulating metabolite results from N-desmethylation of sildenafil, and is itself further metabolized. This metabolite has a PDE selectivity profile similar to sildenafil and an in vitro potency for PDE5 approximately 50% of the parent drug. Plasma concentrations of this metabolite are approximately 40% of those seen for sildenafil, so that the metabolite accounts for about 20% of sildenafil's pharmacologic effects.
There have been postmarketing reports of bleeding events in patients who have taken Viagra. A causal relationship between Viagra and these events has not been established. In humans, Viagra has no effect on bleeding time when taken alone or with aspirin. However, in vitro studies with human platelets indicate that sildenafil potentiates the antiaggregatory effect of sodium nitroprusside (a nitric oxide donor). In addition, the combination of heparin and Viagra had an additive effect on bleeding time in the anesthetized rabbit, but this interaction has not been studied in humans. cialis phone number sleeplessnessFigure 5: Mean change from baseline in standing systolic blood pressure (mmHg) over 6 hour interval following 4 hr separation administration of vardenafil 5 mg (stage 1), vardenafil 10 mg (stage 2) or placebo with stable dose alfuzosin 10 mg in BPH patients (Study 3)Get emergency help if you experience sudden vision loss because Cialis can decrease blood flow to the optic nerve in the eye.
Marketing vision changes or sudden vision loss; or levitra for sale The effects of tadalafil on cardiac function, hemodynamics, and exercise tolerance were investigated in a single clinical pharmacology study. In this blinded crossover trial, 23 subjects with stable coronary artery disease and evidence of exercise-induced cardiac ischemia were enrolled. The primary endpoint was time to cardiac ischemia. The mean difference in total exercise time was 3 seconds (tadalafil 10 mg minus placebo), which represented no clinically meaningful difference. Further statistical analysis demonstrated that tadalafil was non-inferior to placebo with respect to time to ischemia. Of note, in this study, in some subjects who received tadalafil followed by sublingual nitroglycerin in the post-exercise period, clinically significant reductions in blood pressure were observed, consistent with the augmentation by tadalafil of the blood-pressure-lowering effects of nitrates.
Distribution — The mean apparent volume of distribution following oral administration is approximately 63 L, indicating that tadalafil is distributed into tissues. At therapeutic concentrations, 94% of tadalafil in plasma is bound to proteins. If you have ever had an allergic reaction to a medicine.

This flash is pointless. Only three songs to choose from, little to no visuals, and sometimes the songs do not even work. Try adding a little more eye candy and actual content, like maybe a .mp3 up-loader, a jukebox to the newgrounds audio portal, or just more songs to choose from.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars

First of all this should be located as a Game under Gadgets. I don't see any animation to make this a music video.
The layout is crude, but it still does the bare functions as buttons.
It just plays the songs, which is limited to only three.

Famous Kuta Beach free from food vendors
Desy Nurhayati
The Jakarta Post
Frequent visitors to Kuta will notice something is missing along the famous beach: food vendors.
Since late August, they have been prohibited from selling food in the area as part of a Kuta Beach makeover.
The decision to ban food vendors was made following the Badung regency administration's plan to beautify the beach by prohibiting food vendors, with the support from the Kuta customary village.
"We have helped the regency administration to remove food vendors so that the beach becomes cleaner," village head I Gusti Ketut Sudira said Thursday.
"[Vendors] are still permitted in the area, we are not revoking their permits altogether. They can sell beverages and souvenirs, but not food."
Data from the customary village shows there are 1,160 registered vendors in Kuta offering, among others, massages, tattoos, surfboard rentals, souvenirs and beverages.
Beach visitors wanting food can walk to the south part of the beach where there are designated food kiosks, Sudira said.
However, some tourists complained that the area became dirty because food was sold there, Sudira said.
"They said food vendors threw away food leftovers in the area."
Earlier, Badung Regent Anak Agung Gede Agung conveyed his administration's plan to beautify Kuta and Legian beaches.
Areas along the beach will be organized by following the example set by Kedonganan Beach in Jimbaran. Several years ago, that beach was dirty due to cafes operating along it.
The regency administration has provided facilities and entrusted the management of Kuta and Legian beaches to the customary village, which is responsible for keeping the beach clean and secure.
The absence of food vendors received mixed responses from tourists and frequent visitors.
Mike from Holland, who has visited the beach dozens of times, said he thought the beach was cleaner without food vendors.
"Those vendors are not allowed to sell food here anymore because they could not keep the beach clean,"
he said.
However, not all visitors thought the food vendor ban was a good idea, saying it had become
difficult for them to find places that sold food.
Abel, who comes to Kuta Beach almost every day since she moved to Bali a couple of months ago, said now she cannot find her favorite nasi jinggo (rice wrapped up in banana leaf) vendor.
She said she was disappointed that the vendors were not able to keep the area clean. She also lamented visitors for littering.
"I can go to kiosks [in the south part of the beach], but it is a bit far to travel," she said.
Abel's friend, Martin from Australia, also a frequent visitor, said he did not like the idea of Kuta becoming too clean for fear it could become a sterile environment.
"Kuta is slowly becoming too 'pure', such as some beaches in Australia. It loses its character. I liked it better with vendors," he said.

Sibbi Black-Briar
this wiki
- For the letter, see Sibbi Black-Briar (Book).
- "When speaking of the Black-Briars, only one thought should spring to mind. We are not to be trifled with. Help us, you end up rich. Cross us and you'll end up a memory."
- ―Sibbi Black-Briar[src]
Sibbi Black-Briar is a Nord residing in the Riften Jail. As the son of Maven Black-Briar, Sibbi was imprisoned in Riften Jail for eight months, accused of murder. A note from his mother to Anuriel, the Jarl's Stewardess, reveals that Maven Black-Briar is grateful for the incarceration. He tasks the Dragonborn with finding his ex-fiance, Svidi.
Promises to KeepEdit
After obtaining the quest from Louis Letrush, go to the Riften Jail and either persuade the jail guard to give access or bribe him with gold. During a conversation with Sibbi, he will say that the horse wasn't actually his, but belongs to his family, and will tell where to retrieve the papers, which are at the Black-Briar Lodge.
The Lover's RequitalEdit
If the Dragonborn speaks to Sibbi about the reason he is in jail, he will ask for help to find the location of the woman who got him incarcerated and this unmarked miscellaneous quest related to Ivarstead will start. When returning to Sibbi he hands over his key to his chest as a reward, Sibbi's Chest Key, which is located in the Black-Briar Meadery. Any content is free to take.
- "Have you come to gawk at me or is this a social call?"
- "Ah, finally, someone besides the stupid guards to talk to."
- "Look; we all have our flaws; mine is women can't get enough of me."
- "When I find that bitch, I'm gonna wring her little neck."
- "Well, well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes? I've always got time for lovely ladies."
- "Well, if it isn't my little problem solver."
- If the Dragonborn is also jailed for a crime, pickpocketing him is fine with no repercussions. This is useful and it can be repeated to take his belongings, then replacing them, then pickpocketing them again. Doing this is an easy way to raise the Pickpocket skill. However, if the Dragonborn is not jailed at the time themselves, he will become hostile and bounty will be added.
- If the Dragonborn is female, Sibbi will humorously comment on it.
- He can be killed after completing the two quests that involve him. A Courier may or may not deliver an inheritance from Sibbi.
- If one of the Black-Briars is assaulted or killed by the Dragonborn, he may come after them demanding an apology, despite being in jail. If the Dragonborn refuses to apologize, he will become hostile.
- Although Sibbi is spending eight months in jail, in the game, he will be imprisoned indefinitely.
This section contains bugs related to Sibbi Black-Briar. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
- 360 PS3 Sibbi is often susceptible to glitching. One of these glitches can be that the player will be unable to speak to him in his cell, even while he is close to the bars. Possible solutions: leave the jail, wait 24 hours, then return. One of two results can take place: (1) The glitch is fixed and things are returned to normal. (2) See next point: The player may still be unable to speak with Sibbi from outside of the cell, but the glitch can be fixed by picking the lock and entering.
- PC 360 PS3 Sibbi can appear sleeping in the cell to the left of his own. Opening the cell door will allow Sibbi to walk around the jail, with no response from the guards.
- 360 PS3 You can enter the cell Sibbi is in. To do so, note where the chair is in Sibbi's cell, and go into the cell next door and get on the bed. Find the chair to select it and you will appear in Sibbi's cell sitting in his chair. You can also grab the books from his shelf or the items on his table through the wall to achieve this. Once in his cell you can get coins out of the chest and clothes from his wardrobe. Note: Be sure to make a save beforehand, as once you are in the cell you cannot get out. If Sibbi is still in the cell, attack him and surrender to the guard, who will put you into a different cell which you can exit. Be careful not to kill Sibbi, as doing so will make you unable to surrender to the guards.
- 360 PS3 You can get into Threki the Innocent's cell in a similar fashion. Go to the room where the 'Prisoner Belongings' chest is and find the "sit" action for the chair between the chest and the barrel (it is in line with the top of the barrel). You will appear in her cell sitting in the chair. To get out, walk to the corner to the left of the door and highlight the bench. Select it and you will appear back outside the cell.
- PC On occasion, if you take Riften for the Empire and use the
cocconsole command to return to Riften immediately after reporting to General Tullius, you will find Maven, Maul and Hemming on their way to take their place in the keep, however, you will also find Sibbi wandering around outside of the keep.
- PS3 Sibbi may appear in the cell near from where he is normally, and, when the door is opened, will walk back to his original cell and glitch through the cell door.
