2016 The Deadliest Year In History: Suicide Bombings Increased By 30%
5,650 people being killed in 469 attacks…
What would be the single most dominator in all these bombings? Muslims!
Suicide bombings reached an all-time high last year, with 5,650 people being killed in 469 attacks, according to a new study from an Israeli think tank.
The 5,650 deaths marked a 30 percent increase over 2015, when 4,330 were killed, according to the study, which was released by the Terrorism and Low Intensity Conflict Research Program at Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies.
The 469 suicide bombings, which occurred mostly in the Middle East, were carried out last year by 800 perpetrators, a slight increase over 2015 when 452 bombings were carried out by 735 terrorists.
According to the report, ISIS carried out around 70 percent, or 322, of the suicide bombings across the globe last year. In the Middle East, the brutal terror group accounted for 90 percent of the attacks. More

Every full moon, Landsat 8 turns its back on Earth. As the satellite's orbit takes it to the nighttime side of the planet, Landsat 8 pivots to point at the moon. It scans the distant lunar surface multiple times, then flips back around to continue its task of collecting land-cover information of the sunny side of Earth below.
These monthly lunar scans are key to ensuring the land-imaging instrument aboard Landsat 8 is detecting light consistently. For this, engineers need a consistent source of light to measure.
Every full moon, Landsat 8 turns its back on Earth. As the satellite's orbit takes it to the nighttime side of the planet, Landsat 8 pivots to point at the moon. It scans the distant lunar surface multiple times, then flips back around to continue its task of collecting information on Earth.
Image Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center
And while there are some spots on Earth – like the Sahara Desert or other arid sites – that reflect a relatively stable amount of light, nothing on our planet beats the moon, which lacks an atmosphere and has an unchanging surface, barring the odd meteorite.
We really wanted something we could trust for Landsat 8," said Brian Markham, leader of the calibration team for Landsat 8, which was built and launched by NASA and is now operated by the U.S. Geological Survey.
"We do have Earth sites we look at for calibration. But the precision with which you can track things by using the Earth, because of the atmosphere, is not as good as the moon."
Landsat 8's Operational Land Imager, or OLI, collects information on the visible, near infrared and shortwave-infrared light reflecting off Earth's surface. Each wavelength of light provides information about the ground surface below.
OLI has 14 detector modules, each of which contains hundreds of individual detectors that record different spectral bands. The calibration team at Goddard and the U.S. Geological Survey's EROS facility in South Dakota is tasked with making sure each of those detectors register light consistently over time.
Aboard the spacecraft, lamps provide light to calibrate OLl's detectors, but the lamps aren't perfect. On the Landsat 7 satellite, the lamps started to fade before the detectors did. Another option, solar diffusers, which use indirect sunlight, can darken as well.
"Everything else we've tried to use to monitor the stability of our instruments has often not been as good as the instruments themselves," Markham said. But the moon is a steady, not-too-bright light in the sky. "As long as we know what its illumination conditions are, we can trend our instrument performance to it because we trust its stability."
So Landsat 8 planners designed this latest satellite to image the moon as a baseline calibration. If, during these lunar tests, the OLI detectors indicate that the moon is getting slightly duller or brighter, then the Goddard scientists will know the instrument –not the moon – is off. With that data, they can adjust the algorithms that calculate land cover information during Landsat's regular Earth-observation orbits.
It's a fairly complicated operation to scan the moon each month, said Susan Good, a flight dynamics engineer at Goddard who works with Landsat 8.
"There are 14 detector modules," Good said, "each of these has to scan the same path along the moon, so that you collect exactly the same data on each sensor."
The flight dynamics software determines precisely where the spacecraft will need to point during a lunar calibration. The timing is set for just after the moon is completely full. Then, as Landsat 8 passes over Antarctica and heads north in Earth's shadow, the spacecraft maneuvers to the precise location to start the first scan across the lunar surface.
It executes tiny and precise scans to take seven or eight passes across the moon – each one angled so that a different detector is centered on the moon. This takes about 18 minutes, by which time the spacecraft has almost reached the Arctic. So it maneuvers back to point at Earth, and complete its day-lit imaging. Then, Landsat 8 pivots to face the moon again, completing additional passes to test the remaining detectors. After two orbits, the lunar calibration is complete.
In Landsat 8's first year, the lunar calibration tests show that the detectors are stable, Markham said, within a fraction of a percent. If the lunar calibrations and other tests show the detectors are off, the scientists can adjust the calculations that turn the raw Landsat data into information on land cover brightness, maintaining their accuracy.
Since the regular checks on Landsat 8's performance, Good jokes that she will never look at the full moon the same. "I think oh, we're having a lunar calibration," she said. "I always know what Landsat' 8's doing when the moon is full."

The nearby, giant radio galaxy M87 hosts a supermassive black hole (BH) and is well-known for its bright jet dominating the spectrum over ten orders of magnitude in frequency. Due to its proximity, jet prominence, and the large black hole mass, M87 is the best laboratory for investigating the formation, acceleration, and collimation of relativistic jets. A research team led by Silke Britzen from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany, has found strong indication for turbulent processes connecting the accretion disk and the jet of that galaxy providing insights into the longstanding problem of the origin of astrophysical jets.

An international research team led by cell biologists at the University of California, Riverside has uncovered a new insight into colon cancer, the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. The research provides potential new avenues for diagnosing and treating the disease.
Led by Frances Sladek at UC Riverside and Graham Robertson at the University of Sydney, Australia, the team analyzed about 450 human colon cancer specimens and found that in nearly 80 percent of them the variants of a gene, HNF4A, are out of balance.
Human beings express several variants of the HNF4A gene, classified as P1 and P2 variants. Some tissues, like liver, have just one type of variant but the colon has both P1 and P2 variants. The P1 variant is found in the nuclei of cells in the normal colon but in the human colon cancer samples this variant is frequently either absent or located outside of the nucleus and, presumably, no longer functional.
Using human colon cancer cell lines and in vitro assays, the researchers found that the imbalance observed in the human tumor tissues seemed to be the result of a complex, multi-step process by an enzyme, Src kinase. Src kinase has been known to be activated in colon cancer but, until now, it was not known to act on the HNF4a protein (HNF4A is the gene, a stretch of DNA; HNF4a is the protein encoded by HNF4A). The UCR group found that activated Src modifies the P1 but not the P2 variant. The net result is loss of the P1 variant in the nuclei of cells in the colon.
Study results appeared online last week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"Loss of nuclear P1 HNF4a protein in the colon may be an early sign of colon cancer," explained Sladek, a professor of cell biology and toxicologist. "A healthy colon has a good but delicate balance of the two HNF4a variants. If you could prevent the loss of the P1 variant via drugs, you might be able to maintain a normal colon and prevent colon cancer."
The researchers found another factor that increases a person's susceptibility to the disease: certain "single nucleotide polymorphisms" or SNPs located in the HNF4A gene. An SNP is a DNA sequence variation — a minor change in the genomic sequence that accounts for the variations we see between individuals. SNPs are the most common type of genetic variation among people.
"Individuals with certain SNPs may be more susceptible to colon cancer," said Karthikeyani Chellappa, a postdoctoral researcher in Sladek's lab and the first author of the research paper. "That's because these SNPs result in a greater amount of modification and a faster degradation of HNF4a by Src, at least in cell-based assays. It still needs to be investigated, though, whether individuals carrying these SNPs are indeed more susceptible to colon cancer."
Sladek noted that drugs are already available for inhibiting the activity of Src kinase.
"Some of these drugs are in clinical trials for colon cancer," she said. "It would be exciting to determine whether these drugs can maintain the P1 HNF4a protein levels, as well as inhibit the Src kinase activity."
A multifactorial disease influenced by genetics and the environment, colon cancer starts as a small polyp in the large intestine (colon) or the rectum (end of the colon). While most of the polyps are benign, some do turn cancerous. With proper screening, the disease can be detected early, when it is most curable.
Sladek, Chellappa and Robertson were joined in the research by Songqin Pan and Jake M. Schnabl at UCR; Lucy Jankova, Caroline L-S. Fung, Charles Chan, Owen F. Dent and Stephen J. Clarke at the University of Sydney, Australia; and Yann Brelivet of the Institut de Génétique et de Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire, Illkirch, France. Robertson and the Australian members of the team performed all the analysis of the human tumor samples.
The research was supported in part by a National Institutes of Health grant to Sladek.
The University of California, Riverside (http://www.ucr.edu) is a doctoral research university, a living laboratory for groundbreaking exploration of issues critical to Inland Southern California, the state and communities around the world. Reflecting California's diverse culture, UCR's enrollment has exceeded 20,500 students.

The nearby, giant radio galaxy M87 hosts a supermassive black hole (BH) and is well-known for its bright jet dominating the spectrum over ten orders of magnitude in frequency. Due to its proximity, jet prominence, and the large black hole mass, M87 is the best laboratory for investigating the formation, acceleration, and collimation of relativistic jets. A research team led by Silke Britzen from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany, has found strong indication for turbulent processes connecting the accretion disk and the jet of that galaxy providing insights into the longstanding problem of the origin of astrophysical jets.

Thoughts About Hanse (((as a bf)))
this post is a hot mess im sorry but im not
When u first meet him ur like "holy shit…." and you're just awestruck because he has such sharp features and he's so handsome and he looks so cool and maybe a bit cold hearted so when u start talking ur like i bet he's kind of a jackass -____-
But then he starts talking to u and he's so kind and he smiles that fuckin smile and ur like "lol ? :)"
And ur so pretty he like has to pick his jaw up off the floor and he stares at u with big bright eyes and he's smitten from the moment he sees u
So subsequently he's so…. so fucking awkward
Do Hanse is the epitome of "Did it hurt when you fell from Tennessee?"
U start talking to him and he's just a mess like u ask him something and he spends like 20 mins answering u
u say smth like o do u like chicken??????
And he goes "yeah i love chicken fried chicken grilled chicken boiled chicken i love chicken chicken is really good and its kind of healthy for you too u know chicken is a lot healthier for u than red meat and i like live chickens too id like to have a pet chicken well maybe not because they seem like theyd be hard to care for" and he just keeps rambling
and ur like shut up omg
But its ok because he's cute and flustered and it makes ur heart beat a mile a minute
And u thought this boy was supposed to be cool lol
When u go on ur first date he tries to act all cool too
And he probably dresses like the whole "bad boy" persona u know with a leather jacket and ripped jeans and he probably styles his hair up
Which is a great look
But it wouldnt be a date with hanse if its not painfully awkward from the very beginning
So he dresses like a bad boy and ur probably in like
ur probably the embodiment of the word "cute" like u probably dress in like a floral dress or ur wearing something pink and frilly and girly and hanse is like shit wait fuck i fucked up
And when ur on ur date he probably tries to impress u like
"hey check out these sicc moves ;)))" but then he fucking trips over something
"i meant to do that"
lmao sure u did sese
And u cant stop staring at him because hes so handsome and he smiles so brightly and he outshines every star in the sky and he's just so
radiant like name a better boy i fuckin dare u
trick question bc u CANT
u look up the definition of sunshine in the dictionary and its just a picture of do hanse
The next time u see him hes got his hair down and its all fluffed up and he's got a turtleneck on and he looks so comfortable but still stylish
even tho he probably cant fucking dress himself wihout seungu's help lol
And ur like "…. yes i agree" and u tell him that u like that look better on him bc it makes him look so sweet
And he's a sweetheart deep down i mean yeah he's a total fuckin shitface like pls don't let him alone with subin they'll totally break something
But when he loves someone (you!!!) he tries to do everything he can for them
but hes awkward as all hell so he probably fucks up a lot
"Babe i got u a bouquet of flowers but there was a bee so i tried to kill it…. with ur flowers"
christ sake sese what to do with u
when u first kiss he probably freaks the fuck out
Like it's probably quick and spur of the moment like maybe u two are play?arguing over something dumb and then like ur in the middle of saying something and hanse just !!!! grabs ur face and kisses u and ur like OMG?!?!?!?!? but then he pulls away and hes just as wide eyed as u but unlike u he probably starts fucking screaming
*kiss*aaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and he gets all flustered and embarrassed but ur like wait no do it again wtf
so then u probably make out a lil bit
not really makeout??? but u probably just kiss for a bit longer but its nothing too intense its just u like omg hanse just!!!!!!!! kissed me!!!!!!!!!!!!!?! and ur both laughing and pecking each others lips and he kisses ur nose and hes really happy and he laughs and ur done for bc what the fuck his smile is so????
yall i am never going to let go of his smile
once u two have been dating and he gets more comfortable with u i think hed get suuuper clingy and also revert back to his shitface tendencies
like when u first start dating he probably is so nervous around you he probably is so scared hes gonna break u or smth and he treats u so carefully!!!!
but say like a few months into ur relationship ur probably just watching tv and he goes
"babe guess what"
"sucks" and ur like im breaking up with u -______-
and he just gives u constant shit but u two are head over heels for each other
this post is so damn long but im so,,,,,, i love hanse okay…
but like
tl;dr hanse would simultaneously be the best and worst bf ever thank u and goodnight

The Muffs are a rock band based in Southern California, formed in 1991 and led by Kim Shattuck.
The Muffs' leader is singer-songwriter Kim Shattuck. The original lineup also included guitarist Melanie Vammen (like Shattuck, a former member of 1980s all-female garage rock outfit The Pandoras), bassist Ronnie Barnett and drummer Criss Crass.
After releasing their initial 7" EPs and singles independently and on local labels, the Muffs signed to Warner Bros. Records in the early '90s and released their self-titled debut album in 1993. The Muffs were eventually moved from the Warner Bros label and moved to the Reprise roster.
Vammen and Crass left after the band's self-titled debut album. Crass was replaced by Jim Laspesa after their 1993 tour with the Goo Goo Dolls, and later by Roy McDonald in 1994. The Muffs have been a 3-piece since 1995 with members Kim Shattuck, Ronnie Barnett and Roy McDonald.
The Muffs' second album, Blonder and Blonder, was released on Reprise Records in 1995.
Their cover of "Kids In America", originally by Kim Wilde, was used in the soundtrack for the 1995 film Clueless. It was later reissued on the Muffs' 2000 album Hamburger. The song is also used in Rock Band 2.
The band contributed the song "Pimmel" to the Fat Wreck Chords compilation Short Music for Short People in 1999. "I Wish That I Could Be You", from the band's Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow, was featured on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode The Freshman.
British indie band Silver Sun covered the Muffs' song "I'm A Dick" on their Too Much, Too Little, Too Late covers EP, while American punk rock band The Huntingtons covered the Muffs song "Big Mouth" on their Rock 'N' Roll Habits For The New Wave LP. "Big Mouth" was also covered by American punk rock band Off With Their Heads on the Art of the Underground Singles Series Volume 9.
Kim Shattuck has announced the release of a new album due for Spring, 2014.

Tequila Tuesday Drinks Special at Slug and Lettuce Kloof Street
Discounted shots and cocktails right before hump day
|Unwrapping Cape Town with you.
Also engage with our other channels
to find something you don't want to miss.
Are you intrigued to delve into the question: What is art's purpose? Entice your mind with engaging, thought-provoking works of art at the What Art Is FOR exhibition, showcased at the Victoria Wellness Centre and Gallery in Woodstock from Friday, 24 March to Monday, 24 April 2017.
Witness an exhibition of paintings, photographs, prints, installations, ceramics and sculptures, each creating a range of engaging experiences. Various artists, each working in separate disciplines, have been commissioned and challenged to interpret what their art is actually supposed to do once it is shared with the world, providing an understanding on how art is intertwined with life. "Here you will find art offering reminders of what is important in life, art to offer inspiration or comfort, to balance the needs of your heart."
The artwork at the exhibition is intended to resonate directly with the viewer, that is why the artists will be available to listen to your comments and to help facilitate the conversation around their work.
The venue for the exhibition is a newly developed and quite peculiar space - the historic Altona Hotel in Victoria Street Woodstock, which has been reconditioned and transformed into a health and wellness centre and gallery, providing a variety of nourishing activities and therapies - which is also the paradigm under which the exhibition operates.
As the wonderful words of poet, Toni Morrison, so accurately says, "If art does not make us better, then what is art for…?"
Entrance to the What Art Is FOR exhibition is free of charge! So there is no excuse for you to miss out on this spectacular showcase. The event starts at 5pm daily.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- A unique educational collaboration was announced today between the AARP Fraud Watch Network and People's United Bank, N.A., with the goal of better protecting consumers in the northeast against fraud and scams.
The campaign involves a significant Fraud Watch Network presence in People's United Bank branches in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York, along with digital assets distributed via the bank's website, peoples.com.
"AARP's Fraud Watch Network has helped thousands of consumers avoid identity theft and common fraud schemes such as the IRS imposter scam, tech support imposters, and the grandparents scam," said AARP Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer Nancy LeaMond. "Our new collaboration with People's United Bank will extend this outreach effort to the grassroots level – reaching consumers where they conduct financial transactions, in person and online."
The initial phase of the extensive fraud education outreach campaign includes:
- Placement of Fraud Watch Network materials and messaging in 400 People's United Bank branches located in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York. Included is a co-branded version of the FWN's popular Watchdog Alert Handbook.
- Interactive kiosks, preloaded with a special AARP/People's United Bank app, which will be located in eight strategic bank branch locations, such as Boylston Street in Boston and Park Avenue in New York.
- Promotion of -- and a direct link to – the Fraud Watch Network website from the People's United Bank website.
- In addition to current People's United Bank employee training regarding fraud and financial exploitation, bank employees will be provided Fraud Watch Network training to keep them abreast of the latest scams in their communities.
"People's United Bank has actively collaborated with law enforcement and other community partners for over 20 years in an effort to help residents, particularly older adults, avoid financial exploitation," said Jack Barnes, President and CEO, People's United Bank. "This initiative with AARP delivers the Fraud Watch Network directly to our customers and other consumers, further protecting them from identity theft and scams. We are proud that our online network and bank employees will play an important role in continuing to elevate security awareness."
During a second phase of the joint consumer fraud campaign in 2017, Fraud Watch Network messaging will be displayed on People's United Bank's ATM machines located across the six states. This effort will be supplemented with direct mail and billboard advertising in select states. AARP state offices and Peoples United Bank branches also plan to present joint community education programs.
The AARP Fraud Watch Network was launched in 2013 as a free resource for people of all ages. The website provides information about fraud and scams, prevention tips from experts, an interactive Scam-Tracking Map, fun educational quizzes, and video presentations featuring renowned security expert Frank Abagnale. Users may sign up for "Watchdog Alert" emails that deliver breaking scam information, or call a free helpline at 877-908-3360 to speak with trained volunteers.
Additionally, AARP's Public Policy Institute has launched BankSafe, an initiative that empowers financial institutions to protect consumers from financial exploitation and keep retirement savings safe.

DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without both, DevOps isn't complete.

All organizations that did not originate this moment have a pre-existing culture as well as legacy technology and processes that can be more or less amenable to DevOps implementation. That organizational culture is influenced by the personalities and management styles of Executive Management, the wider culture in which the organization is situated, and the personalities of key team members at all levels of the organization. This culture and entrenched interests usually throw a wrench in the work...

With billions of sensors deployed worldwide, the amount of machine-generated data will soon exceed what our networks can handle. But consumers and businesses will expect seamless experiences and real-time responsiveness. What does this mean for IoT devices and the infrastructure that supports them? More of the data will need to be handled at - or closer to - the devices themselves.

My uncle stayed here recently and because i booked via laterooms i received an e mail for some feedback... Couldn't do that as i didn't stay however noticed that the hotel does sunday lunch for a reasonable 16 pounds for 3 courses. Nine of us attended sunday 9th march and it was almost clean plates all the way. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the service was excellent. There were 3 starter choices, soup,ham terrine or prawn cocktail, good start. I had the prawns, maybe a tad too much lettuce but full of flavour. I asked for olive oil to go with the gorgeous bread as i don't like butter and this arrived promptly and had everyone else wishing they didn't like butter.
We ordered chicken , belly pork and beef for mains.... Perfection, substantial portions of meat with crispy yorkshires and lush roast potatoes. The beef was a thick slice of sirloin cooked to your liking, belly pork was delightful as was the chicken , all served with ample portions of carrots, broccolli, green beans, cauliflower, more delicious gravy when we asked for it.
Desserts were gorgeous and we shared due to being full from starter and main. The only reason this was an overall rating of very good was because the chocolate brownie was very disappointing. Full of flavour but hard as a rock and not like a brownie should be. The creme brulee and sticky toffee were gorgeous as was the coffee. The wine was very tasty for a house wine.
The room itself was really cosy and well decorated , just a pity it was almost empty. Wouldn't hesitate to return,good service,good meal and reasonably priced. Thanks for a great afternoon xx

What our Customers Say about our Service
"I ordered a Christmas basket for a relative in Italy, as it was close to Christmas I was concerned that it would not be there on delivery date, as it turn out it was delivered the morning after the requested date, however I was aware that it might be a little late as it was stated on the order page. I am very satisfied with the service and my relative was very happy with the basket. I will certainly use this service again."
Franca - Canada - Dec 24, 2014
"Thanks for making this process very easy and reliable! Very happy with digital picture proof. I can see how the reciepient gets a gift. This is so great. I will send more in the furture. Please add more cosmetic and jewelry items for me to select. Customer service ladies are also very nice. They are so polite and informative. I like them. Thank you! "
Mint M - Hills Estates CA, USA - Apr 17, 2008
"I am extremely happy ! The order I placed was delivered today to my family in Tuscany ! This was the first time I dealt with Giftbasketoverseas.com so I was a little reluctant, but very hopeful it will work. They delivered it promptly, just as requested, today, at the right address of my brother's house. I think they were too thrilled about it and decided to check it later so they did not notice my card, I will check again with them tomorrow, for it's got its rightful place: under the Christmas tree along with the rest of the gifts ! :) "
Mara B. - Canada - Dec 23, 2014
"Best Service Ever! Our son is in Spain for a semester and got quite sick - had to take himself to the hospital, get antibiotics, had no one to take care of him. So I found Gift Baskets Overseas online, ordered a healthy breakfast basket, paid with PayPal and crossed my fingers that it wasn't a scam. Not only is it legitimate, but when I didn't have a landline to give them for him they tracked one down (and sent it to me so I'd have it too) and when I gave them an incomplete address (because that's all I had), they tracked that down too. My son got his basket and I'm amazed that service like this still exists. Awesome, awesome, awesome. "

The Greatest Game, Thoroughbred racing's owner-recruitment program, began running advertisements on three cable television networks Thursday.The $150,000 ad campaign features spots on CNBC, the Golf Channel, and the Travel Channel. The first couple of ads feature owners Gary Biszantz and Kenny Trout, with background footage from Keeneland.The Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association administers The Greatest Game, formerly TheGreatestGame.com. Much of its financial support comes from Keeneland.Cornett Advertising of Lexington, Ky. produced the ads, which are designed to show how people who have been successful in other businesses have transferred that passion to Thoroughbred racing. Other owners to be featured in ads are Steven Duncker and Robert McNair.Kip Cornett said research indicated it might take about five years for a person to go from considering racehorse ownership to actually buying a horse. Because of that, the campaign is designed to be long-term, and Keeneland, he said, is committed to it."People who get into horse ownership faster usually get out faster," Cornett said. "It takes some time, but we want to put people in the pipeline."The Greatest Games initiative is not just geared toward purchases at sales. Information on the claiming game and partnerships also is made available to prospective owners.Details of the program and the ad campaign are to be part of The Jockey Club Round Table presentation Sunday in Saratoga Springs. Several Thoroughbred owners are among the scheduled speakers.

Since I can never seem to find the information that I am looking for online regarding airports, below is what I found during my trip in February 2008:
Delhi: The international airport was not as big or as crazy as I had imagined. Not big at all, really, when compared with US airports like Newark, JFK, Atlanta. Lots of lines--to get through the door, to get your luggage scanned and tied, to check in at the airline counter, immigration, security, more security, several pat downs. Allow enough time to clear all these hurdles. No airlines except Air India seem to have permanent counters, so it's like a treasure hunt finding your airline. Only the large airlines have jetways; otherwise, it's shuttle bus service. There's not much inside in the way of services: a few shops, a few food carts/counters, two airline lounges (outside security), and one table-service restaurant (outside security). There is smoking in the table-service restaurant only. The domestic terminal is in three separate buildings about 30 minutes from the international terminal. There's a bus between the two (which we didn't use) or hire any taxi ($3 or $4 US). There is no smoking in the domestic terminals that I could see. No airlines have jetways, so it is necessary to take a shuttle bus to/from the planes. The buses don't seem to board until the exact time that you think your flight should leave, so don't get antsy!
Agra: Small airport, with one shop, post office. There were spots for a bank and a restaurant, but neither was open when we were there. It seems that only Indian Air and Kingfisher fly to/from here. It's on a military base. Locals we spoke to even seemed surprised that it was open to commercial traffic (I think it may have been closed for awhile). You can't smoke inside, but it would be easy to pop back outside (not as much initial security here as at other airports, nor the crowds).
Varanasi: Small airport, with a few small shops, post office, table-service restaurant (outside security). Inside security, there is nothing but seating and restrooms, although men carry around snacks and drinks for purchase. No smoking inside, but available in the table-service restaurant.
Kathmandu: The international airport is decent, with several shops, including two duty-free. There is no sit-down restaurant inside security (or outside that I could see), but there is a counter serving sandwiches, etc. There is smoking inside--pretty much anywhere. There is a computer/internet café with several laptops, and some TVs to pass the time. The domestic airport is next door, but in a separate building (walkable). It also allowed smoking inside, and had three small shops, as well as TVs.
Pokhara: Small airport, with table-service restaurant (outside security) and combination snack/souvenir shop inside security. No smoking inside.
New Delhi Railway Station: A total zoo--inside and out! But what a great experience! If you purchase e-tickets online, you can go straight to your platform. Double-check your name (for seat assignments) on the papers plastered to the wall near the platform. We weren't prepared for this station, and got the runaround from supposedly official employees who told us we needed stamps on our tickets and ran us up/downstairs and across the parking lot like maniacs (unnecessarily). I'm not sure what the scam was--but it was worth the $5 we paid to have a porter carry our luggage on his head, wait on the platform with us, and stow our luggage overhead on the train (get there early, or they run out of space). Food, drinks, and newspapers served on the 2-hour ride between New Delhi and Agra. Fairly comfortable ride in air-conditioned chair class. Did not use the restrooms on the train, which was probably wise. No smoking. Not a bad way to travel a short distance, and quite inexpensive ($15 for 2 one-way tickets).

India/Nepal Airport Information
Since I can never seem to find the information that I am looking for online regarding airports, below is what I found during my trip in February 2008:
Report Abuse
Thanks for this info. We're planning a return to Nepal in November (I was last there in 1994). It sounds like the airport has been vastly upgraded.
At that time, in the domestic airport, people and their "baggage" were weighed - the baggage often consisting of rolls of chickenwire and goats...
What was your experience of the domestic flight from KTM to Pokara - aircraft, safety, etc.?
