Mansa Devi Temple is located at a distance of 2.5 km from the main township of Haridwar. Located atop the Bilwa Parvat on Shivalik Hills, Mansa Devi is one of the most visited temples in North India. The temple is known for being the home of Goddess Mansa, who was the wife of Nag Vasuki and also the brainchild of Saint Kashyap.
This temple has two idols of the presiding deity, one with three mouths and five arms and the other with eight arms. One of the major Siddh peethas in India, this temple is the apex of Siddh peetha triangle, which is formed by the trio of Mansa Devi, Maya Devi and Chandi Devi.
One of the famous rituals performed by the devotees visiting the temple is to tie holy threads to the sacred tree, which is believed to fulfil wishes of devotees. Once the wishes are fulfilled, devotees need to untie the holy thread.
Apart from being a holy shrine, the temple is also a famous tourist destination. This is because of the cable cars, which are popularly known as 'Devi Udankhatola'. The cable car carries tourists from the lower station up to the temple. The ropeway, which is used by the cable cars, is located at a height of 178 m from the ground.

No one can praise the divine power to justify its worth. The name Mansa Devi is to reflect that the Maa gives what our 'Mann' says i. e. She fulfills all our desires. We get the same divine feelings once we enter the holy place.
The journey itself is very beautiful. We have options of going to temple via UDAN KHATOLA or by foot. We have some elderly peoples and some children with us. So we decided to let some of us go via Ropeway and some decided to walk to the temple. The walk was filled with fun and devotion. Luckily the weather was also good so we just chatted and praise our goddess. When we reached in the maa darbaar, we were filled with utmost devotion. After seeking blessings of Mansa Devi and other Gods, we enjoyed some snacks. Again we started our journey back to our next destination but we were filled with some sort of completeness and devotion. Jai Mata Ji!!

"Must visit place and it is very quiet to get blessed"
- Posted Jan 12, 2016
It is a lesser elevated place compared to Chandi Devi Temple, take Cable Car to reach the place. The place is very quite and you will feel to be blessed to be there. You can buy puja items from the top. Based on the time of the year - the round trip in Cable Car may take a long time due to crowd, plan accordingly.

I got up early in the morning and started preparing for the trip, we started the trip with Manasa Devi Mandir. The temple is situated at very high. To reach the temple we either use ropeway or staircase, we selected the option of staircase. Finally after the long struggle we reached the temple. It is the most sacred place in Haridwar to visit, it is better to buy the item in down only when you visit the temple. You must carry camera with you because you will get most ultimate view of haridwar. The heart patient and old age people must use the ropeway to visit the temple.

"Cable car is provided to the temple"
- Posted Dec 15, 2015
This is the temple which used to give the original name to this City ie Mayapuri. Haridwar was previously known as Mayapuri derived from Maya Devi which is one of the Shakti Peethas. The cable car takes you to & fro the temple which is situated on the hills.

"A Goddess on top of Haridwar"
- Posted Dec 14, 2015
We visited this holy place so many times while our each visit of Haridwar. Mansa Devi Temple is on the right bank of the Ganges, atop a windy hill and reached by cable car approach the temple through railing-ed corridors and you will notice the red colour everywhere. Go with devotion, come with blessings. Must visit place atleast for enjoying Udan Khatola and for a nice aerial view of Haridwar from top.

Take a ride in the cable car to get a picturesque view of the thread like river flowing down as it appears from the top. The 2. 5 kilometers walk can be covered within 15 minutes and is definitely a wonderful experience.

"Shakti Peeth at a good location"
- Posted Sep 5, 2015
There are two ways to get to this temple. One is, via Rope Way for which you have to buy ticket from counter which costs you around Rs. 70 per person. There you would be asked whether you want to visit Chandi Devi also or not. If your plan is to visit Chandi Devi also then you should buy the combo ticket of both the place and the transport ticket also. The other option to go there is walking through stairs. I choose to go via Rope Way. And it was an awesome experience to go via Rope Way. That's the most exciting part of the visit. The temple is one of the Shakti Peeth and gives to a divine feeling. The scenic beauty around the temple is mesmerizing.

Toshiba Android tablet computer to hit USA
Toshiba are set to release an Android based tablet similar to the European counter-part called the JournE Touch. According to the general manager of digital products for the US division, Jeff Barney, these tablets will be branded as 'slates' and will also come with a number of OS choices, including Windows 7.
The bad news is that Android will only be used in the 10" model, which is pitted as a direct competitor to Apple's iPad. I suppose the silver-lining here is that the Android device will float a lower price point than the more expensive Windows-based models which are likely to sport higher-end features such as dual displays.
According to Jeff Barney, Toshiba now see a ripe market for the tablet based PC. Really? Trust me when I say that you will not find any Apple fan boys around these parts, but this is an easy statement after we have all sat back and watched how the market reacted after Apple released the iPad,
"We definitely see a place for the slate, we see there's a market there," said Barney. "It'll be expansive like netbooks, it won't be cannibalistic."
To be fair to Toshiba, the company does already have a similar device in Europe, but it runs Windows CE and has no third party applications. The American Android based offering will help address these fundamental issues. It is set to arrive in the last part of 2010 or early 2011.

The new frontier of education, many experts believe, is video games. While the field is still maturing, most objectives can now be enhanced with games that allow students to collaborate and learn with more engagement while teachers are free to spend more time observing and helping, and less time at the whiteboard. Many of these games also offer parents and teachers tools to monitor progress on specific learning objectives.
Hundreds of schools in Kenya could be shut down as Somalia's al-Shabab Muslim militants have terrorized teachers from showing up to work, jeopardizing the future of thousands of youths, according to news reports from the East African nation.
After years of widespread fears that video games were destroying young American brains, educational theorists and reformers have come around to the notion that video games are here to stay — and that may be a good thing, even in the classroom.

Ex-Employees to Sue Scoop and Celebrate With a Rousing Protest
They say Scoop owes them $500,000 in unpaid wages.
Over a dozen ex-Scoop employees plan to file suit against the chain in federal court in Manhattan today. The former stock and security workers allege Scoop didn't pay them overtime. They say the store would promote them to "manager" or "assistant manager" for the sole purpose of replacing their hourly wages with fixed weekly salaries. Meanwhile, they worked 50 to 60 hours a week and did not perform any managerial duties. Labor-law experts say such fake promotions are a common way for employers to get out of overtime pay, which is, by law, time and half. The seventeen ex-employees are demanding $500,000 in lost wages. One spoke to Crain's:
"We were not really store managers," Mr. Cisse said. "They just gave us the titles so they could abuse us ... I just want people to know that Scoop is a big company, but what they see is not really the truth."
When they finish their paperwork today, the ex-workers plan to stage a protest in front of the Scoop store in Soho. On the heels of those bankruptcy rumors, this isn't shaping up to be a very good year for Scoop. And a protest isn't going to help them sell those $230 freecity sweatshirts. In fact, just thinking about how gauche those are almost makes us want to demonstrate, too.

Informational Barriers to Credit for Migrants: Evidence from Guatemala
Does being a migrant in a developing country cause an individual to receive less access to credit? Migrant status can be a useful signal for lenders in settings with weak contract enforcement and in the absence of well-developed information markets. I investigate this contract enforcement-based explanation using data on households that have migrated within Guatemala. To address reverse causality and omitted variable issues, I adopt an instrumental variables approach. I identify individuals who are most sensitive to violence or crime and who were born in particularly dangerous locations; the interaction of these factors causes these individuals to have a higher propensity to move. Although such migrants are not less likely to apply for loans from formal sources, they are significantly less likely to receive them. Furthermore, weak enforcement of contracts dominates alternative explanations of this result, such as moral hazard and adverse selection.

Justin Bieber reveals a Boyz II Men collaboration, 'originals' on Christmas album
Is that the sound of silver bells or the screams of fervent fans? Highlighted by one of the most succssful R&B groups of all times?
Justin Bieber is dropping more and more hints about his charity Christmas album, with more recording getting done this week. Apparently the 17-year-old pop star has tapped Boyz II Men for some holiday cheer.
"2day i woke up and realized that the group that made me want to sing @BoyzIIMen are now on the christmas album singing with me. #DREAMBIG," Bieber Tweeted. "I used 2 listen to their music and practice the runs. that is how i learned how to sing. now im in the studio with them making music 2gether."
The quartet replied on their Twitter account: ""It was a pleasure! Remember what we talked about in the studio Lil bro! Let's do it again sooner than later!!"
Last month, Bieber said last month that the set would include "some classics and then some originals." The plan is to have the set finished recording by the end of the month, and then the teen scream will be starting on his next album to follow-up "My World 2.0," out last year.
Boyz II Men have joined a long line of collaborators who have stepped in the studio for Bieber. Ludacris, Kanye West, Raekwon, Usher and more have all shared songs (or steps) with the Island signee

The device supports Caller ID and Speed dials. Caller ID is NOT Caller ID spoofing.
Caller ID:
If a Skype name calls you or a phone number calls you over Skype, that name/number will display on your handset.
Speed Dial(s):
Speed dials allow you to dial Skype names from your standard handset using standard keys. You can't type in a Skype name on a normal phone but you can dial *1 or *2, etc. It may be helpful to print out a list of your speed dial contacts if you have many contacts and you plan to call them over your handset. This legacy function does not work with non-standard Skype names (i.e. Microsoft account, Facebook account, etc.).

I own 3 of these devices and I have not had any Calle ID issues. You might be having cabling issues. Are you using the black handset rj-11 cable that came with the device? If so then the only conclusion I can draw is that there is a problem with your handset or the Freetalk device.
You might consider performing a reset or contacting Freetalk if there is an issue with the device.

Other than trying to hold the reset button for a longer period of time. There isn't much you can do. You may want to check you router to see what IP address it grabs and see if you can sign into the device. If you can, you can also try the web reset as well if it stays online long enough. If you can't and it continues in an endless loop, then you might want to return it to the Internet shop you bought it from especially since the device was used and arrived in a defective state.

How do I do the way?

It doesn't support it. However it still can be done depending on your router. What's the make/model of your modem/router?
13-07-2013 02:53
13-07-2013 02:53
My router is DHP way,but I have plan to use it this at the other network with fix ip address environment.
13-07-2013 03:00
13-07-2013 03:00
It all depends on how your static IPs are implemented. The only way you would be able to use the Connect Me is if it can be issued a Static IP by DHCP reservation or similar. So if you can enable DHCP or if your router allows DHCP reservation with no Available IP Pool, then you can specify the Mac address of the Freetalk Connect Me in your router's DHCP reservation settings. When the Connect Me makes a DCHP request, the static IP you specified will be issued to the Connect Me.
13-07-2013 03:16
13-07-2013 03:16
I understood your suggestion.
But,at the router of the static ip address enviroment,
the system manager will only supply the static ip address to the each new device(
I am in school.
There are too may pc ,devices.
And so,I asked to you that if it has admin page.
I think that the admin page can set up statc ip address.
13-07-2013 04:29
13-07-2013 04:29
I'm not aware of that device having a default IP. The "admin" page is only accessible by the IP address it gets assigned. It has no option to specify a static, for that reason you cannot specify a static. The manager should be able to set up a reservation vs. an exclusion. On the large networks I've run I was able to do either in a static and dynamic environment. If the IT admin of the school is unable to do that, the device will be in limbo asking for an address while maintaining an IP of 0.0.0.0. This makes the device unusable. An alternative to that is to use a router (if allowed) or use your PC with wireless/wired or wired/wired Internet sharing. It kind of defeats the purpose of not using a computer, but it will allow the device to function.
13-07-2013 04:45
13-07-2013 04:45
I thank you for your valuable reply.
I will make arrangement to IT manager in school later.
And I will try "0.0.0.0"
Best regards,
13-07-2013 05:04
13-07-2013 05:04
I understood that "Admin" page has no static ip function.
But ,I want to access to the "admin" page.
Please teach me the way.

Some miss impact of sequester
To the editor:
On Feb. 14, U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., stated she deserved a pay raise because of the responsibility she has. If it was based on what she accomplished, she'd owe us. Is this woman for real? The son of womanizer Jesse Jackson pleaded guilty to ripping off his contributors of over $750,000. His wife pleaded guilty, too. See any reports of this scandal in the lame media? Of course not.
President Obuma wants to pay to educate all preschool children. His true intention is to get to 4- and 5-year-olds to indoctrinate them to socialist policies. If the government gives you money, you have to do what it says. If you take away religious beliefs so government is god, government controls the populace. If you make people dependent on government health care, no matter how flawed the system, government controls the populace. Government control of guns also reduces our freedom. This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation will have full gun registration. "Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient and the world will follow our lead into the future." – Adolph Hitler in "The Weapons Act of Nazi Germany," 1935.
Our exhausted monarch needed a weekend in Florida to receive personal golf instruction. Wouldn't it be cheaper to fly the instructor to D.C.? Michele Obama flew to Aspen for her get-a-way spending millions of our money. I guess she must be exhausted, too? After all, trying on wigs is fatiguing. Most Americans are living payday to payday, trying to make ends meet. Last Tuesday, gas was $3.86 a gal. This king and queen are making up for the social injustice they must have suffered. They won't tell you the breaks and financial assistance they received due to affirmative action and other programs they tapped into.
You think the president gets up every morning with a new idea about changing our government? No, his plans were formatted in college. He will lay out his vision slowly but surely, as he did first term. This way, no one sees what he's doing. He has long-range plans already on paper, but is implementing them slowly. Wait when he has two years left – what will this socialist will inflict on us? Because most of his idiotic followers never studied history they don't see how his agenda aligns with another dictator wannabe in 1932; 80 percent of his followers have no clue what I'm eluding to, and that's scary. The other 20 percent do, and that's scary.
Have you read the memo sent to department heads? Paraphrasing: Make the sequester as hard on the public as can be. Hurt the people. Did the president really have no place to cut expenses except to close the White House to tours? It's not his house, it's the American people's house. How dare this incompetent do this, yet 90 percent of his followers have no idea what it is or the impact of the sequester.

After interviewing a number of candidates, D.J. Miller emerged as the top choice to fill the newly created position, which is supported by a collaboration between the City of Monett, the Monett Chamber of Commerce and downtown merchants.
Miller's first day on the job will be Monday, July 26.
"D.J. is young and ethusiastic and that's what we need," said Sharon Garrett, president of the Main Street Board, which conducted the candidate interviews. "He has fresh ideas and being from Barry County was a plus.
"One thing that impressed me about D.J. was that he had read the whole Vision 2030 document and was aware of what we are trying to do downtown," added Garrett.
Miller is a 1995 graduate of Cassville High School who has earned three postsecondary degrees. He has an associate of arts degree from Crowder College and a bachelor of arts degree in history and a masters degree in public administration from Missouri State University. He recently completed a five-month internship at the City of Strafford where he worked directly under City Administrator Tom Vicat.
"Tom said D.J. was thorough . . . that he takes something from the beginning and takes it all the way to the end," said Suzy McElmurry, chamber executive director who also serves on the Main Street Board.
While at Strafford, Miller assisted with the city's DREAM Initiative effort. The DREAM Initiative is a partnership between the Missouri Department of Economic Development, the Missouri Development Finance Board and the Missouri Housing Development Commission to provide communities across the state with access to technical and financial assistance for downtown revitalization. Cities go through a competitive application process to be selected as a DREAM community.
"I organized the (DREAM) meetings and worked with engineers and handled a lot of the correspondence," said Miller. "Tom let me present to council about the status of DREAM, and I also attended a lot of chamber and community meetings to discuss DREAM, which was a good learning experience."
When asked what qualities he possesses that will help him succeed as Monett's Main Street coordinator, Miller listed his degree in public administration, his honesty and his ability to listen.
"I think a lot of this job will involve listening and trying to analyze what people are telling me and coming up with a plan," said Miller. "I'm also honest and straight forward."
Miller will be working out of an office in the chamber building on Broadway. He will have a dedicated phone line and his own e-mail address.
"DJ will not be working on chamber projects," said McElmurry. "The chamber's contribution to the position was to supply office space. We also thought it would be good for the Main Street coordinator to have an office downtown.
"This is a dedicated job to a specific purpose," added McElmurry. "It is a 24-hour-a-week position supported by the city, the chamber and downtown merchants."
One of Miller's first tasks as Main Street coordinator will be to go out and personally meet the downtown business owners, according to Garrett.
"His next priority will be trying to get occupants in the empty buildings and getting the old buildings fixed up," said Garrett.
Specifically, Miller will be focusing his efforts on revitalizing Monett's downtown district through the implementation of recommendations made by the Vision 2030 Committee. In addition, Miller will also be working with the City of Monett as it applies again for the DREAM Initiative.
"Being part of the (DREAM Initiative) application process and following through with that will be a big part of D.J.'s job," McElmurry said.
"I'm excited to get this job, and I'm proud to be here," said Miller. "By creating this position, it shows Monett is trying to improve their city, and I'm honored to be part of that."
In the upcoming weeks, the Main Street Board plans to hold a reception in Miller's honor. Once a date for the event has been set, it will be announced in the newspaper.
Miller and his wife, Jordi, will be relocating to Monett from Springfield. Jordi works as a middle school counselor in the Seymour School District.

why has JOY been so strong on nicely higher volume?
anyone know b/c I am joyous about it.
I think people were asking that same thing the 2 days going into CAT's earnings. CAT was up about $3 those 2 days and look at how bad they did. Many times the broker dealers are just running stocks up before bad earnings and down before good earnings to mess up people minds.
Dont read too much into this move, really. I take this big move up as a good point to sell or go short with puts.
doesn't take much to mess with this feeble mind!

Headline results from a 56-week, double-blind, Phase IIIa trial investigating the potential of Novo Nordisk's liraglutide to induce and maintain weight loss in overweight or obese people with Type II diabetes indicated that all three co-primary endpoints have been met.
This is the second Phase IIIa trial to be completed as part of SCALE (Satiety and Clinical Adiposity â Liraglutide Evidence in Non-diabetic and Diabetic people), the clinical development programme for liraglutide 3mg as an obesity treatment. In the trial, 846 overweight or obese people with Type II diabetes were randomised 2:1:1 to treatment with liraglutide 3mg, liraglutide 1.8mg or placebo. After 56 weeks, treatment was discontinued and the subjects were followed during a 12-week observational period.
From a mean baseline weight of approximately 106kg and a body mass index of 37, the weight loss for people treated with liraglutide 3mg and liraglutide 1.8mg after 56 weeks was 6 and 5 per cent, respectively, compared with a 2 per cent weight loss for people treated with placebo. The proportion of people achieving a weight loss of at least 5 or 10 per cent was, respectively, 50 and 22 per cent for liraglutide 3mg, 35 and 13 per cent for liraglutide 1.8mg, and 13 and 4 per cent for placebo treatment. All differences for both doses of liraglutide were statistically significantly different from placebo and the trial met all three co-primary endpoints. During the 12-week follow-up period after treatment discontinuation, people in both liraglutide treatment groups experienced a moderate weight regain.
Starting from a baseline HbA1c of 8.0 per cent, approximately 69, 67 and 27 per cent of people treated with liraglutide 3mg, liraglutide 1.8mg and placebo, respectively, achieved the HbA1c treatment target of 7 per cent recommended by the American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. In the trial, the rate of hypoglycaemia was comparable with that observed in previous trials with liraglutide. In the trial, liraglutide was generally well tolerated and the 56-week completion rate was 77, 78 and 66 per cent for liraglutide 3mg, liraglutide 1.8mg and placebo, respectively. Withdrawals due to adverse events (AEs) were below 10 per cent in all treatment groups. In line with previous liraglutide trials, the most common AEs were related to the gastrointestinal system and diminished over time. No other apparent differences between the treatment groups were observed with respect to AEs and standard safety parameters.
Novo Nordisk expects to complete the two remaining Phase IIIa trials in the SCALE programme by mid-2013.
Liraglutide, a once daily GLP-1 analogue, is not an approved treatment at the 3mg dose. Liraglutide is currently approved and marketed at lower doses (1.2 and 1.8mg once daily, as well as 0.9mg in Japan) for Type II diabetes only, under the brandname Victoza.

A Journey to Nepal to Participate in Fishing Cat Conservation
Guest blogger, Linda Castenada, Cat Ambassador Program:
Last month, fishing cat conservationists from around the world gathered to participate in the first ever Fishing Cat Symposium in southern Nepal. The symposium was organized by the Fishing Cat Working Group and was sponsored by various conservation organizations, including the Cincinnati Zoo. I helped raise funds to support the symposium through the Fishing Cat Fund and was fortunate to be able to make the journey to Nepal to deliver funds and present the status of the fishing cat population in North American zoos. My goal was also to see where the Zoo could play a role in global conservation of the fishing cat.
I arrived in Nepal a week before the symposium to help out with last minute preparations and also to see the sights. After a few days in the fast-paced and colorful city of Kathmandu, I boarded a bus to Sauraha, located just outside of Chitwan National Park. Many moons ago, the Cincinnati Zoo had a greater one-horned rhino (also called an Indian rhino) named Chitwan and I could not pass up the opportunity to possibly see an Indian rhino, and maybe a tiger or even a fishing cat!
Chitwan National Park was an amazing adventure. The rhino population is doing quite well there as they do not face the same poaching issues as do the rhinos in Africa. Despite the heavy vegetation of the jungle, they are commonly seen around the park. During my three days in Chitwan, I was fortunate enough to see three rhinos!
After my time in Chitwan National Park, I met up with the conservationists to travel to the symposium location, a resort on the other side of the Narayani River. Conservationists had come from fishing cat range countries including Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Bangladesh, as well as non-range countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Spain and Germany. Most people have no idea what a fishing cat is, so it was exciting to be in a room of fishing cat experts and enthusiasts.
On the first day, each participant gave an update on the status of their fishing cat population, habitat and project. I learned that while we generally say that the fishing cat's range is "Southeast Asia", we really are learning that the range can include any of the southern tropical Asian countries. Some Southeast Asian coutries have little traces of fishing cats and some outside of Southeast Asia have populations that are thriving. The dense habitats that fishing cats may inhabit, as well as their elusive nature, makes determining their population numbers quite a challenge.
The next two days centered on strategic planning. Participants brainstormed the various threats across the fishing cat's range and what they think are the main issues hindering conservation of this species. Here is where the real challenge began. Conservation of any species is a multi-faceted issue. In many range countries, the fishing cat competes with people for food sources (fish), and in other countries, people depend on fishing cat habitat (mangrove forests) for firewood to heat their homes and cook their food. How do you prioritize who needs a resource more? How do you approach a local community who may be struggling to subsist and get them on board with conservation of an animal that they may perceive as a threat? These are the same questions that many conservationists must answer. Fishing cats face the same threats as many other carnivore populations – habitat loss to agriculture, urbanization and/or industrialization, human-carnivore conflicts, poaching for meat or medicinal products, retaliatory killings, collisions with cars and habitat fragmentation. Three groups formed to take on the specific topics of ecological knowledge, socio-cultural themes and policy issues.
In the end, each group formed objectives to add to the larger Strategic Plan. Symposium participants agreed to the objectives and assigned themselves a contributing role to any objective where they can make a positive impact. We pledged to implement the Strategic Plan and reconvene in five years to evaluate our progress. The area where I feel that I can make the greatest contribution is to increase the global education and understanding of fishing cats. My first goal is to work with the conservationists to create multi-lingual literature that highlights the habitat and conservation of the fishing cat. I hope to integrate the expertise of the Zoo's education, signage and graphic teams to create a children's book that can be translated into the various languages of fishing cat range countries.
We trekked through the jungle in the search of local wildlife. Mostly I just saw leeches, but the jungle teemed with potential. In addition to fishing cats, Chitwan National Park is home to jungle cat, leopard cat, clouded leopard, leopard and tiger. So many cats!
While we did not see any cats, we found these very clear tiger tracks along the river. We had been warned that a man-eating tigress inhabits the area, so there was some apprehension about seeing proof that she has been around the area recently.
While our jungle trek did not yield much wildlife, it gave us another opportunity to spend time together and discuss best practices in the field and among our communities. Connections were made, contacts were exchanged and friendships were created, bound with the common love of fishing cats and the commitment to their conservation.
Twenty-six participants spanning nine countries from three continents met in Nepal with a common goal, to save the endangered fishing cat. It was a rare privilege to participate in the process, to see the inner workings of a conservation planning organization and to be included in a Strategic Plan designed to take action to save a species.
I had an amazing journey to Nepal and my last moment of awe came on the airplane as I was leaving the country. The Himalayas appeared on my side of the plane, reminding me once again that we live in a dynamic world filled with beauty and wonder, a world worth conserving. I am proud to be a part of an organization like the Cincinnati Zoo that teaches the value of conservation and supports programs that work toward global conservation and understanding of our incredible planet.

Come Celebrate International Tiger Day on July 29!
This coming Wednesday, July 29, is International Tiger Day, and the Cat Canyon keepers and volunteers are gearing up for our 2nd annual celebration. We will also be celebrating the birthday of our Malayan tigers, Taj and Who-Dey. They will turn eight years old on July 30.
Like last year, keepers and volunteers will be on hand at the Malayan tiger exhibit to talk with guests about tigers and how we can help save this critically endangered species of which scientists estimate there are less than 350 individuals remaining in the wild. (The total estimate of all tiger subspecies combined is less than 3,200 remaining in the wild.)
Why are Malayan tigers in such big trouble? The most immediate threat today is from poaching and the illegal wildlife trade in tiger body parts used in traditional Asian medicine. The loss of forests on which tigers rely, which are rapidly being converted to palm oil plantations, is another major threat. Add to that the competition with hunters for sambar deer and other natural prey, which can lead tigers to attack livestock and increase conflict with people.
Since 2006, Panthera, a leading conservation organization focused on wild cats, has led the charge to stabilize and restore wild cat populations across the globe, including tigers. Panthera's approach is to put as many boots on the ground as possible to protect tigers as well as promote co-existence between tigers and people.
The Zoo has pledged support to Panthera's Tigers Forever program, which trains local rangers to patrol forests, gather intelligence and arrest poachers. In 2014, Tigers Forever added three new sites for a total of 15 sites under protection. This represents 36% of the world's critical tiger sites. Panthera's goal is to expand Tigers Forever to 50% of these sites by 2016.
New camera technology is also being deployed to prevent poaching. Panthera's Technology team has developed the V5W PoacherCam, a hidden camera that uses an imaging algorithm to distinguish people from wildlife. When a person is detected, the PoacherCam instantly transmits the image to law enforcement who can immediately respond to the threat. PoacherCams will be distributed to Tigers Forever sites beginning in 2016.
Meanwhile, here at the Zoo, our Malayan tiger brothers, Taj and Who-Dey, continue to impress guests and help us spread awareness of the need for tiger conservation. We invite you to come celebrate International Tiger Day with us on July 29. In addition to talking with our keepers and volunteers and seeing Taj and Who-Dey, you can compare your hands to tiger paw prints, see example of tiger enrichment items (e.g. toys), and participate in the tigers' birthday fun. Roar!

Saving Animals in the Wild: The Zoo's Top Field Conservation Efforts of 2014
Happy New Year! As we look back on 2014, let's reflect on some of the Zoo's significant contributions to wildlife conservation in the field this past year:
Helping Lions Thrive in Kenya's South Rift Valley
Since 2011, the Zoo has partnered with the African Conservation Centre and the South Rift Association of Land Owners in Kenya on the Rebuilding the Pride program. This community-based conservation program combines Maasai tradition and modern technology to restore a healthy lion population while reducing the loss of livestock to lions in Kenya's South Rift Valley. Once down to a low of about 10 known lions in the area, the population has grown to more than 65 lions in 2014. This past April, a lioness named Nasha gave birth to another litter, this one containing three cubs. That the population is growing in the South Rift Valley at a time when lion populations are severely declining across the continent overall is significant and a testament to program's community-based approach.
A Giant Step Forward for Sumatran Rhinos in the Wild
The Zoo has been committed to saving the Sumatran rhino for 25 years. Despite the devastating blow of the loss of our female rhino, Suci, back in March, the Zoo continues to work to conserve and protect the species. In 2014, a Debt-for-Nature deal was struck between the United States and Indonesia. In return for lowering the debt Indonesia owes to the United States, it will commit nearly $12 million towards the conservation and protection of critically endangered species, including the Sumatran rhino, and their habitats over the next seven years. The debt swap was made possible by a contribution of about $11.2 million from the U.S. government under the Tropical Forest Conservation Act (first introduced by Ohio Senator Rob Portman in 1998) and $560,000 from other organizations funneled through Conservation International. The Zoo was proud to help secure this funding by pledging a major gift.
Saving American Chestnut Trees with Cryopreserved Pollen
The magnificent American chestnut tree once ranged over the entire Eastern United States, but was almost entirely obliterated by blight by the mid-twentieth century. Over the years, breeders have been working to develop a resistant tree, and one of their key tools is pollen. American chestnut pollen rapidly declines in viability so maintaining important lines of pollen from year to year is difficult. In 1993, pollen was cryopreserved (frozen) in liquid nitrogen at the Zoo's Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife (CREW). Last spring, some of that pollen was removed and used to successfully pollinate trees at the American Chestnut Foundation's farm in Virginia. Paternity testing will be done at CREW this winter, but the indications are very good that cryopreservation can indeed maintain pollen viability for at least 20 years—a fact that should provide a new tool to those working to save this majestic American tree.
Committing to Kea Conservation in New Zealand
Over the past few years, the Zoo has supported the Kea Conservation Trust's (KCT) efforts to protect and study New Zealand's mountain parrot, the kea, in the wild. In 2014, the Zoo stepped up its efforts with a commitment to support the Kea-Community Conflict Response Plan, a multi-year proactive community-focused conflict response and resolution program. Funds from the Zoo support a key personnel position, the Community Volunteers Coordinator, who can respond to conflict situations that arise. Funds will also enable KCT staff to enhance their conflict resolution skills by participating in a Human-Wildlife Conflict Collaboration Workshop. Additionally, Zoo aviculturists will join the KCT team for kea nest monitoring and field work over the next couple of years.
Pledging Support for Panthera's Tigers Forever Initiative
The Zoo is committed to ensuring the survival of endangered tigers of which there are fewer than 3,200 remaining in the wild. In 2014, we have pledged multi-year support of the tiger conservation efforts of Panthera, the leading international wild cat conservation organization with a mission to ensure the future of wild cats through scientific leadership and global conservation action. To ensure the tiger's survival, Panthera works across Asia with numerous partners to end the poaching of tigers for the illegal wildlife trade, prevent tiger deaths due to conflict with humans and livestock, and protect tiger prey species and habitat. Through their program, Tigers Forever, Panthera works to protect and secure key tiger populations and ensure connectivity between sites so that tigers can live long into the future.
Restoring Native Wetlands and Wildlife in Mason, Ohio
In 1995, a 529-acre farm in Mason, Ohio, now called the EcOhio Farm, was willed to the Zoo with the guideline that it could never be developed unless it is to further the mission of the Zoo. Over the past few years, the Zoo has worked to restore 30 of the farm's acres to its original state of a wet sedge meadow, providing refuge for a diversity of native wildlife. Since restoration began in 2012, drainage tiles have been removed and more than 200 native plant species and thousands of trees have been planted on the site. The wetland is returning to its natural state very quickly. Already, it has attracted more than 135 native bird species, including bald eagles, bobolinks and killdeer, which would never have been there when it was a cornfield. Though not currently open to the public, walking trails and a small education center may be implemented in the future to provide opportunities to explore the wetland.
Strengthening our Support for Gorillas in the Republic of Congo
Over the past 20 years, the Zoo has partnered with the Nouabale Ndoki Project (NNP) in the Republic of Congo, which includes the Mbeli Bai Study, the longest running study of the critically endangered western lowland gorilla. The Zoo also supports work in an area called Mondika where gorillas are habituated for up close research and ecotourism. Habituation is a process through which the wild gorillas become accustomed to and tolerate the presence of people that enables researchers and tourists to observe them up close. The Zoo recently helped facilitate the habituation of a second group of gorillas, and entered into an agreement in 2014 to support the habituation of a third group over the next three years. Special thanks goes to Gorilla Glue, our official gorilla conservation sponsor!
All of these projects and more couldn't happen without your support of the Zoo. Here's to you and the Zoo making more great strides for wildlife conservation in 2015!

Courtney Love takes to her Facebook page to apologize to her 'eternal lover' Billy Corgan
The ongoing living drama known as Courtney Love continues as the singer attempts to mend fences with former collaborator/boyfriend Billy Corgan via her Facebook page.
As you may be aware, Corgan threw down the gauntlet several days ago when he told Rolling Stone that he was done with Love and that if she'd released the songs they worked together on for Hole's new album, "Nobdoy's Daughter," there was going to be trouble "because I haven't given my permission." Now, he may have just been negotiating in the press and for all we know it's since been resolved, but Love felt the need to to apologize to Corgan, calling the pair "eternal lovers" and "eternal warriors."
Here's her Facebook post, courtesy of The Daily Swarm. Someone's clearly ready to make nice.
Dearest Billy:
I love you, I love your strong and eternal heart, even love the fucked up gnarly amazing magnificent bigger-than-god louder-than-love karma of the songs you write and allow me to fly with. We have again created beauty from the agony between us, all the buried and unburied anguish, all that is true, that is gold, that is meant to be is within this endless and somehow eternal cycle of Billy & Courtney.I hope you will take my sincerest apologies for all the thousand ways I sometimes offend you, because I know you are a king, a prince, and my beautiful noble boy. No one will ever force my hand, nothing will come between the truth of what we are:
Eternal lovers
Eternal fighters
Eternal warriors.
Let the forces and the shock and awe loose from its cages, all credit where it is due. I love and you and can never thank you enough.Your soul (and you know this).

Strip's RedPath diagnostics lab fights cancers with technologies
It's easy to miss RedPath Integrated Pathology Inc. when driving through Pittsburgh's Strip District.
The entrance to the ultra-modern molecular diagnostics lab that occupies two floors of a renovated warehouse faces an alley. But a growing number of physicians are taking their battle against pancreatic cancer to RedPath.
Established in 2004, the company grew out of a University of Pittsburgh pathologist's drive to marry cutting-edge science and technologies to benefit cancer patients much earlier than otherwise possible.
When Dr. Sydney Finkelstein, co-founder and chief scientific officer at RedPath, began working with DNA at Pitt in the 1990s, he suspected it could change the way in which pathologists investigate disease. Analyzing DNA, he saw that diseases that look identical under the microscope actually may be very different and require different treatments.
In 2004, he and a team of associates joined to form RedPath in an attempt to bring the fruits of the genomic revolution to physicians through the patented PathFinderTG technology. Today the company employs 39 researchers, technicians and sales associates.
"It takes a lot of resources and focus and a dedicated group of people with very different skills to make this work. And then I can't forget my wife. She provided important capital, and she's sacrificed a lot," Finkelstein said, noting that his wife, Patricia, worked in the lab during the long early days at RedPath.
By drilling down to the molecular level and running DNA tests, RedPath said, its PathFinderTG can document the presence or absence of cancer in very small samples.
The ability to analyze minute samples has become increasingly important as new scanning technologies reveal the presence of tiny nodules in the pancreas that allow only the smallest amounts of fluid to be withdrawn for testing.
"The image and X-ray are increasingly important, but looking at those small samples they can draw through the microscope didn't give me the information I need. It left an information gap," Finkelstein said.
By filling in that gap and determining whether a pancreatic nodule is cancerous, RedPath can help physicians act to remove a pancreas with early cancer or avoid unnecessary invasive surgery.
The tests RedPath performs can take up to two weeks. Last year, the company was performing about 200 to 250 tests a month for physicians from institutions including Allegheny General Hospital, George Washington University Hospital in Washington, and Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital, plus community hospitals throughout the Pittsburgh region.
Cancer centers across the country are interested in technology that can detect cancer earlier and are evaluating the possibilities with molecular diagnostics, said Dr. Peter J. Allen, a cancer surgeon at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
Allen has used RedPath's test, but he said he's not convinced of its usefulness as an early diagnostic tool because it has not been tested enough.
"The question is: 'Is this test valuable as a diagnostic test?'" Allen said. "It needs a very rigorous validation study."
Privately held RedPath has attracted early infusions of capital from two local public-private initiatives: Innovation Works and the Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse.
Two multimillion-dollar infusions of private equity also fueled the company's expansion.
Last year, a French company, Exxon Hitt, planned to acquire the company for $22.5 million, but the deal fell apart, even as Medicare approved RedPath's pancreatic tests, which carry a price tag of about $4,000 per person, for reimbursement.
Since that time, business has increased by about 25 to 30 percent, said RedPath spokesman Mike Carelli. The Exxon Hitt deal was a learning experience, Carelli and Finkelstein said, but the Medicare approval was a time for celebration.
"It was an endorsement sanctioning the significance that this is having for patient care. It was an important milestone to be able to bring new technology forward and make it available to physicians," Finkelstein said.
And late last year, the Internal Revenue Service, under the Affordable Care Act, awarded RedPath $488,958 in grants to continue development of its technology.
This year Dr. Dennis M. Smith Jr. was named CEO, replacing Mark Myslinski, who will serve on the board of RedPath.
Rich Lunak, CEO of Innovation Works, an early investor in RedPath, said the company took its services to market quicker than many biomedical startups.
"It's a very innovative life science company. The whole area of genomics and individual medicine is very important, especially in the area of cancer where they are working," Lunak said.
Finkelstein predicted the kind of testing RedPath performs will expand to a broader range of illnesses.
"It has broad applicability. And I'd like to see us working with the universities and sharing our experiences. The more of that that happens, the better it is for Pittsburgh," he said.Additional Information:

Jennifer Lawrence has admitted she is ready for some time off after a busy awards season which culminated in her winning the Best Actress Oscar at the Academy Awards.The 22-year-old star picked up the Best Actress statue at the Academy Awards on Sunday (24.02.13) and admitted she was desperate for some time off.She told Us Weekly: "I see my couch. I see TV. I see a bottle of wine!"However, the 'Silver Linings Playbook' actress won't have much time for relaxing as she is due to jet back to Hawaii to film more scenes for 'Catching Fire', the 'Hunger Games' sequel.Jennifer recently claimed she is a pushover and wants to learn how to be more assertive without upsetting other people.She said: "My New Year's Resolution is to stand up for myself. It's hard for me. Nobody wants to be disliked. You always want to be polite and be nice. I tried to find a balance in saying what I mean and still being nice. I can't do it. I have this 'okay' attitude and everything. I end up allowing myself to get walked over and resenting it."Jennifer - who recently split from British actor Nicholas Hoult - also revealed she prefers staying at home rather than having wild nights out.She said: "I don't like going out that much. I'm kind of an old lady. After it's 11pm, I'm like 'Don't these kids ever get tired?' When I'm out, I think about my couch."brands : Catching Fire, Academy Awards, Silver Linings Playbook, Us Weekly
