Chapter OneEdit
Robert woke with a start, sweat covering his body. He felt queasy and sick. He had been dreaming of his home, his family, and his friends. He wish he was there now, instead of being on board this stupid aircraft carrier, seasick. He sat up in his small iron cot and rubbed his fatigued eyes. His good dreams were always interrupted by the oceans relentless tossing of his stomach. He hated being on a boat almost as much as being in the Marines. He wanted this war to end, he wanted to go home.
Robert glanced at his watch, it was 6:50 AM, about an ten minutes before wake up call. He rubbed his eyes again. Truth be told, he was scared, very scared. Today was the 19th, D-Day . . . disembarkment day. Today they would be landing on the small island of Iwo Jima. Today . . . hundreds would die.
Robert stood up in the narrow hallway between the hanging metal bunks and took out his shirt. He might as well get ready now, he thought. His hands shook as he slipped on his army fatigue shirt. Others in the sleeping quarters were up as well, getting dressed or fiddling with their gear. An air of fear, nervousness, and worry was in the small cabin. No one new what to expect when they landed. The island had been bombarded for days, but not one US soldier had set foot one the island. No one knew what was there to meet the marine invasion.
Robert slipped on his boots and put on his jacket, pockets full of ammo. His hands were shaking as he grabbed his helmet. He held the object in his lap and stared at it, mind racing. He would be in the first landing party, on the front lines. He would be among the first to be blasted with the wrath of the imperial army. Rob shifted in his bed uncomfortably. He was more than scared, he decided, he was utterly terrified. He remained seated on his bed, helmet on lap, thinking of the attack to come. A bell rang, breaking Robs train of thought.
Men still asleep around him began to stir and wake up. Rob sprang to his feet and put on his helmet. He began walking down the small corridor towards the briefing and supply room. A few others who had awoke early followed suit and started down the hall behind him. The others who were still asleep groggily sat up and began to get dressed. Rob came to the end of the corridor and looked back at the bunk cabin. This might be the last time he saw this boat . . his only way home. He frowned and turned away. He had no choice, he must do as he was told.
Rob stepped through the metal door way in front of him and started up a long stair well. His boots clanged against the metal steps, echoing through the long metal corridor. Behind him several others followed, no one spoke. They all thought of the invasion to come, and their own fate on the volcanic island. They did not want to talk. Rob came to the top of the stairs and opened a small door into another long hallway. This one was larger with pipes and doors along the walls on either side. Several others were walking in the hall, disappearing in and out of halls and doors. He sighed
Rob had been to the briefing room so many times, he had memorized his way through the maze of halls. He stepped through the small door way and walked towards a door about halfway down the hall. He knocked hard and the door clanged open. A man in a tan uniform stood in front of him. He nodded at Rob and smiled.
"Your the first from the 5th division, Griffiths," he said, "Good work." He stepped out of the way and let Rob pass through. Several other followed, and the sergeant welcomed them. He peaked his head out the door, and when he saw no one else coming, he closed it. Rob turned and sat in one of the many chairs crowded in the small room. He had been briefed on the mission time and time again. He was just here to get supplied. The Sergeant came to the front of the room and shuffled a pile of papers on a podium up front. Only several minute passed until more men began to enter the room. Soon the room was full.
The sergeant held up a piece of paper and scanned the room with his eyes.
"Roll call," he announced.
The man looked at the paper in his hands and began reading the soldiers names. Rob stayed seated, not looking or speaking to anyone near him. He had made it a point to make no friends, or even be sociable while he was in the military. He knew they would all die, he didn't want to get attached to those he knew would be destroyed. The sergeant read his name.
"Here," he answered back grimly. Rob was known as the grim and unhappy one while at the Marine base in California. He liked it that way, because it was true. He was unhappy.
The role call ended and the man put the list of names in a folder on the podium. He looked back up at the men again and sighed.
"Soldier . . . Marines . . . I wont sugar coat this. You are about to be placed in the middle of a living hell. Friends you will have gotten to know will die in your hands, mutilated by bullets and mortar fire. You will cry . . . you will feel the pain of war . . . but remember this, You are fighting for the freedom of the world. You are stopping the beast that has attacked and devoured peaceful nations. You are the men that will slay the beast and end their evil conquering."
Rob chucked softly to himself. He had heard that speech before, when he was drafted. It wasn't as glories as he made it sound. It was just men slaughtering other men. Brutal and disgusting, with no honor or pride involved.
"Alright men . . . load up." the sergeant yelled. All the seated soldiers rose to their feet and started towards the end of the room. Rob stood up and followed the crowed
All the men in the briefing room began funneling into a small door behind the talking podium. Rob ducked through the small door way and stepped out onto the deck of the USS DARKE. Small Landing Crafts, Higgins Boats, ringed the deck of the large transport ship. Soldiers crowded the deck arming themselves with rifles and other assorted weaponry. Rob sighed and moved forwards. The ocean was full of large battle and transport ships. Far off in the horizon stood a small lump of island. Smoke drifted from the dark land.
Rob came to a stop in front of a long table. A short man with a thin mustache stood across form him. He held a clip board and pencil.
"Name, division, and rank ," he said methodologically.
"Robert Griffiths, 5th Marine Division, Private First Class." Rob answered automatically
The short man smiled sourly as he finished. He checked the name off his clipboard and signaled down the long table.
"Welcome to war, Private."
Rob started down the table and picked up a small pack full of extra equipment and supply's. A man stood near by handing soldiers their rifles. Rob stepped down and accepted his M1 Carbine from him, nodding. He then started towards the Higgins boats, ready and suited up for an invasion. He came to a stop in front of his squads assigned landing craft.
His team consisted of 12 men, including himself, and their sergeant. They were all the men who had bunked and been briefed with him this morning. The sergeant who had taken roll this morning was not there though, along with most the men. Rob went forward and leaned against the ships railing, staring out into the west. Far away, over the horizon, laid his home and his family. He remembered leaving them like it was yesterday. The image of his little brother and his mother and father waving at him as he walked down the driveway burned in his mind. He could smell the aromas of his child hood leaving him as he stared out onto the blue ocean. He saw a tear going down his brothers cheek as he saluted his big brother off to war. Rob covered his face with his hands, sadness gripping him like an iron fist.
He slumped against the railing for what seemed an eternity. Then a bell sounded, and Robs head shot up. The sergeant stood behind him, motioning for the squad to assemble around him. Rob stood up and hurried over to the small cluster of soldiers. The bell sounded again and the sergeant looked at his men with his deep green eyes.
"Men, when we land it is our duty to cut off Mount Suribachi," He pointed to the east, towards the burring island. At the end stood a small rocky hill. "The Snakes Head . . . It must be conquered," he continued, "Once it falls . . . the island will fall with it."
He turned back towards the men in his squad, a scowl on his face.
"Now . . . on the boat, immediately."
As if on cue, the Higgins began lowering into the water. They splashed down hard, spraying water up onto the side of the boats. The men of Robs squad began stepping over the sides of the USS DARKE and climbing down long rope ladders toward the transport ship. Rob began to step over when a hand grabbed his shoulder. He looked back and saw the sergeant, a look of concern on his face.
"I know you don't want to be here Rob," he said, "but do it for your country."
Rob looked at the sergeant long and hard.
"I've heard that a millions times before, Sergeant Grace . . ." He said sternly " and I am still not convinced."
Rob turned away and started down the ladder, not waiting for a response.
Chapter TwoEdit
The salty spray from the sea churned beneath the Higgins boat as it pushed through the unforgiving pacific waves. It was 8:59, a minute ahead of schedule, when the landing vehicles were given the green light. They had broken out of formation and started towards the island. They were headed for Iwo Jima
The men inside the boats were sick with fear and the tossing of the sea. Many were praying under their breaths, reading small copies of the bible. Rob stood at the front of the transports and stared at the island in the distance. Smoke floated off the burned out and ravaged landscape, Mount Suribachi dominating the sky. It looked like the entire place had been lit on fire then put out. It was grey and dead, the color of war.
Water lept over the sides of the Higgins and hit the men with a small sprays of salty ocean. Rob stood still, fighting seasickness. He had heard stories of the Normandy invasion. He had heard of the bloody torrents of bullets that slammed into the men as their boats hit the beaches. The hundreds who had died on the rocky shores of France. Rob wished he was not in the front of the Higgins. He was scared, and he feared his day of reckoning was upon him.
The man driving the landing craft screamed over the roaring ocean.
"We're approaching the beaches," he yelled
The soldiers jumped to their feet and looked around nervously. Some hurriedly stuffed bibles into their jackets and prayed one last time. Sgt.Grace pushed to the front of the boat and surveyed the beach. He turned towards his men and yelled
"Remember . . . sever the Snakes Head."
The boats slammed against the sandy beaches and stopped. Rob turned and held his rifle, ready to run to cover. The front hatch of the transport swung down, opening the boats to the grey beaches of Iwo Jims. Rob lurched forward, followed by the rest of his squad. He ran to a small wall of sand and ducked underneath, ready for the bullets to slam the ground behind him.
Nothing came. No guns sounded, no men yelled, nothing happened. More boats hit the beaches and men pored out, running to the ten foot wall of dirt and sand running along the beach. But still . . . nothing happened. Every one was quite, only the sound of boats offloading and men running along the beach could be heard. Some one yelled off into the distance
"Maybe all the Japs are dead."
A few chuckles sounded through the army of marines piling on the beach. The air remained tense though, everyone nervous and worried. Men lined the top of the mound of sand on the beach looking off across the island.
Rob lay at the top of the mound and surveyed the land. It was flat and smokey, smoldering vegetation the only sign of any life on the island. No enemy soldier was in sight, every thing was silent. Maybe all the Japanese were dead, he thought. He looked to his sides, watching as more soldiers climbed the sand drift. Every one looked around in confusion.
Sgt.Grace lay down next to Rob and scanned the horizon. His face was stern and calculating, trying to think of every possible reason as to why the island was empty. Rob studied his face, but could not decipher Graces thoughts. A loud humming sounded behind Rob and he turned his attention away from the sergeant.
A large tank was being offloaded onto the island, followed by boxes of supplies and ammunition. Almost the entire invasion force and their supplies were on the beaches, yet there was nothing to stop them. Nothing resisted the army. Sgt. Grace looked back at his squad and frowned.
"Beta squad, move out," he yelled. Rob looked back at the sergeant in surprise.
"Lets go see if any Japs are left," he continued grimly. Grace climbed to the top of the embankment and signaled for his men to follow. Rob crawled after his commander reluctantly, followed by the rest of the squad. Others along the sand drift followed suit and scrambled up after their sergeants. Soon, several squads were walking inland through the volcanic ash covering the dead ground.
They advanced slowly and cautiously, eyes darting back and forth nervously. Rob held his gun in front of him ready to fire. Every one felt jumpy and scared, yet nothing happened. Sgt. Grace led the small band of troops, his head constantly moving along the horizon.
Grace turned towards one of the other sergeants and sighed.
"Signal HQ . . . no hostiles in sight." he said.
The other man nodded and started back towards the beach. Rob turned and watched him slid down the embankment. The entire invasion force was beginning to follow their squad onto the island, men climbing the sand bank. Rob turned back and faced Sgt Grace.
"What now," he asked in an annoyed voice.
Grace ignored the question, his eyes clouded and confused. He turned slowly and glanced back towards the other side of the island. Rob stepped forward and glanced at Graces face. His brow was scrunched in thought, eyes full of confusion.
"Sergeant . . .what is it," Rob asked, feeling very concerned.
The Sgt. turned towards Rob and frowned, "I don't . . . know."
Something went clunk then click. Rob spun around.
A machine gun burst into life.
Bullets flew through the air from all directions, slamming into Robs squad. Sgt Grace lifted his gun to fire, but was sprayed with a torrent of lead. He collapsed on the ground dead, chest and stomach torn up by the onslaught. Rob fell to the ground and covered his head with his arms. Bullets flew through the air and hit men left and right. Men screamed by the beaches as hidden Japanese bunkers lite up with gun fire.
The Marines immediately came to life and began returning fire. Explosions sounded through the air and more and more guns began unleashing their murderous rounds. Rob began crawling slowly back towards the beach, bodies of those in his squad lay on the ground around him. Marines yelled in the distance as they found the hidden bunkers and attempted to flush out the enemy. All hell had broken loose. The battle had begun.

Azonto Petroleum Limited announces an update on its Joint Venture on the Accra Block (the "Block") in offshore Ghana.
On 26 March, 2014, Azonto announced that its subsidiary, Azonto Petroleum (Ghana) Limited (57% Azonto Petroleum Ltd / 43% Vitol E&P) (Azonto Ghana) had been granted a six month extension (the "Extension Period") to the initial exploration period extending it to 23 September, 2014.
Whilst all of the commitments for the extended exploration period had already been satisfied, the extension enabled Azonto Ghana and its Joint Venture partner Afex Oil (Ghana) Limited (Afex Ghana) to work closely alongside GNPC (which holds a 10% carried interest in the Block) to carry out further geophysical studies in order to fully incorporate the results from the Starfish-1 well, and further enhance the definition of the additional identified prospectivity on the 2,000 km2 Block.

Pear Cut and Heart Shape
By Dirk Rendel
As popular as the pear shape is, it is surprising how many people don't know that this type of diamond is actually a hybrid of sorts. It "pairs" (sorry about the pun) our old stalwart the round brilliant and the trusty old marquise. When done right, the pear can be among the most brilliant, sparkling designs around, adding an extra layer of luxury to even the most beautiful jewelry.
But when done wrong, the pear is a mere shadow of its true potential. You'll have to be careful when looking at pear shapes because a slight imperfection can ruin the entire atmosphere of this classy stone. Also, make sure that the shoulders of the pear are at an appropriate angle. You don't want the shoulders to be too high. High shoulders on a pear stone will completely ruin the symmetry and fluidity of what is meant to be a gorgeous design. Also be vigilant about ensuring that the shoulders are even. They are supposed to form a smooth, rounded arc. Anything that resembles corners or ridges should be avoided at all costs. You'll probably know right away which ones have wonky shoulders because they'll be priced lower.
It should come as no surprise that many people find this to be among the most romantic cuts. After all, hearts and diamonds have always gone beautifully together. Haven't you ever seen a deck of cards? But all joking aside, the heart shape really is quite popular as a romantic gift, even when you step back and realize that it is little more than a pear cut with a cleft for its top.
But it is important to know that this is not an easy shape to shop for. The cut of a heart shaped diamond must be absolutely precise and it is recommended that you opt for as high a grade as you can afford. The reason for this is that the cleft can easily be screwed up and made to look inferior. And unlike with some other stones, this cut can really let its imperfections shine through.
Typically, you'll find the heart shape to be less prevalent than other shapes when you're shopping for diamonds. There are a couple reasons for why this is: We've already learned that it can be a total bitch to cut a heart shaped diamond, but also you will find that many sellers won't cut a heart stone that weighs less than a carat. If you're lucky you'll find some 0.75ct heart cuts during your shopping experience. Either way, you can already see the price tag inflating before your eyes, can't you? They say the heart wants what the heart wants; in this case, the heart wants all of your money.
But it is still a beautiful cut and, when set in a four prong setting (this is the necessary setting for the heart cut, just as the six prong setting is required for the oval), it really does glimmer with the light of a thousand Paris nights.

Location: Environmental Microbial & Food Safety Laboratory
Project Number: 8042-32420-005-37-R
Project Type: Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jan 1, 2012
End Date: Jun 30, 2013
ARS is participating with Clemson University on strategies to improve microbial safety in the composting process. ARS is interested in the role of physical covering on survival of bacteria in composting process systems; static and windrow pile. The Cooperator is interested in laboratory scale studies and alternative compost covering for static pile system.
ARS proposes to evaluate finished compost as a physical covering for controlling bacterial pathogens in compost. A comparative set of triplicate static piles and windrow piles will be constructed. The 'toes' of the pile at both ends of each windrow will be focal points for microbial sentry samples, continuous temperature dataloggers, and weed seed indicator packets. Microbial sentry samples will be prepared and inoculated with the same strains as used in the Clemson studies and placed in the pile toes, the interface between the new feedstock, and the cover. Compost samples will be collected periodically for quality analyses and target bacteria. Weed seed viability as evidenced by germination following composting for different periods of time/temperature exposure will be described.

Video Wills, Kate & Harry Want A National Conversation On Mental Health
Men are less likely to talk than women with 54% of women having had a conversation compared to 37% of men.
The former stage Director of the hit musical Matilda is taking over as the Artistic Director of The Old Vic Theatre.
Kevin Spacey is stepping down after a decade in charge.
Matthew Warchus will take up the role in autumn next year.
He has mounted more than 70 productions in London and on Broadway.
Kevin Spacey said: "I couldn't be happier that my friend Matthew Warchus has agreed to take the reins at the Old Vic next year.
"Matthew is a thoughtful, intuitive and highly creative director and he has rightly been applauded for his work, in particular the quality and diversity of his portfolio.
"I know he loves our theatre and I am delighted for our staff, our audiences and for our acting and production communities that he will be its next guardian."
Warchus - whose film Pride, about a group of gay activists supporting striking miners in 1984, is released in September - said: "I am excited and honoured to be following Kevin's galvanising tenure at this wonderful building. He has re-established the Old Vic as a globally important theatre and I look forward to continuing to develop it as a hub of invigorating creativity."
Spacey opens in his one-man show Clarence Darrow at the Old Vic next week.

Niku Jaga (Japanese Beef Stew in the Crock Pot)
Recipe by Miss Diggy
Delicious anytime!!! Serve with sticky rice for a hearty meal! This isn't your ordinary "stew", and it is supposed to be runny. Lots of broth! Enjoy!
Top Review by Evie3234
Tasty casserole, the sweetness of the sugar gave this dish a nice flavour. I didnt use as much water as was stated as it was getting quite 'liquidy' (used 1/2 cup water) and one hour prior to finishing I thickened with some cornflour and water mixed together. I used cross cut blade steak. Thanks for a lovely family meal.

Certified Coach & trainer, I'm specialized in Communication & public speaking.
I've been training people since 1993, as an integral part of any job I did.
Training really is my passion and even... my second nature.
I've spent 10 years in audit and risk management. My job was to detect risks and to help preventing them to occur again.
So, I had to get powerful speaking skills to:
- tell top management that their choices were not fully satisfying,
- get people to change the way they work,
It gave me a lot of opportunities to use my story telling and persuasion skills in public, as I had to sharpen them until I could see changes happening.
Beside this, I've led more than 300 workshops, for people to discover the different cultures of the world. I kept them captivated and attending again, workshop after workshop. How?
By telling them stories for each and every culture.
It worked so well, that I trained others to tell stories and they've used their skills to make extra money at birthday parties.
All together, we did more than 600 story telling there, in four different languages.
Becoming certified as a Coach, I've been training & coaching people on public speaking both for business presentations or private occasions, just like weddings.
I'm working with clients and companies, in group workshops, individual sessions or through online classes. Together, we enhance their confidence, we get over their fear, we polish their speaking skills and we really allow them to show their truly shining personality. Once they feel inspired to move forward, we include a lot of practice. And... it works!
What a relief people experience when they know that whatever happens, they will be able to face it, every time they need to speak in public... What makes me even most proud, is that many of my clients, moved from public speaking fear to public speaking pleasure!
They seek opportunities to deliver their own authentic and powerful messages.
Training people is a journey and I love to equip my clients with life lasting competences.

With elections fast approaching and D-day being May 7 and campaign to end on May 5 (Tomorrow), Pro-Jagan media has stepped up its hyped-campaign. It has started projected Jagan Reddy as solo contender and airing libelous reports like "He is coming". Naturally, these reporters are drawing flak from common people as a section of media is desperately trying to muzzle the voice of people. Of course, TDP supporters too giving fitting counters to pro-Jagan's filthy campaign.
The ridicule doing rounds to Jagan's ad-campaign in social platforms like Facebook and Twitter, "Yes, he is coming. He is not coming to power but coming to opposition." And few others went onto add, "Jagan is going to jail. After elections, he will land in jail for sure."
It may be recalled that CBI has charged beleaguered Jagan with possessing disproportionate assets and amassing crores of public exchequer through quid-pro-quo influencing his late father's position.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-metastasis effects and the inhibition of the tube-like structure formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells ECV304 of isoliquiritigenin and glabridin. The cell survival ratio of mice melanoma cells B16F1 was measured by SRB assay, the lethality rate was tested by trypan blue exclusion test. The survival ratio of human umbilical vein endothelial cells ECV304 were measured by SRB and AO/EB assays. The migration of B16F1 cells and ECV304 cells were measured by scratch wound assay. The matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity in B16F1 cells culture medium was measured by gelatin zymography and ELISA methods. The inhibition on tube-like structure formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells ECV304 were detected on artificial basilar membrane rebuilt by matrigel. Taken together, our data suggested that isoliquiritigenin and glabridin have strong anti-metastasis activities, in the same concentration, isoliquiritigenin has stronger function. © 2011 IEEE.

Previous reports reveal that Isoliquiritigen(ISL), a licorice flavonoid, possesses various antitumour properties, cyclophosphamide, an alkylating agent, has various genotoxic and carcinogenic effects, and to be involved in some secondary neoplasmas. However, it is still used extensively as an antitumour agent and immunosuppressant in the clinic. In order to find out whether isoliquiritigen could enhance antitumour activity, as well as decrease genotoxic effects of cyclophosphamide or not, the antitumour activity and genotoxic effect of oral intake of ISL combined with intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide was investigated. Mice bearing mouse sarcoma S180 cells and cervical cancer U14 cells were respectively used to estimate the antitumour activity in vivo. The clastogenic activity in bone marrow polychromatic erythrocytes was assayed by frequency of micronucleus. The DNA damage in peripheral white blood cells was assayed by single cell gel electrophoresis. The results indicated that oral administration of ISL (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg body weight) alone has no obvious antitumour activity and genotoxic effect in mice, while ISL synergistically enhanced the antitumour activity of cyclophosphamide (40 mg/kg body weight) in a dose-dependent manner. in addition, ISL can decrease the micronucleus formation in polychromatic erythrocytes and DNA strand breaks in white blood cells in a dose-dependent way. Our results suggested that ISL is able to enhance the antitumour activity and decrease the genotoxic effect of cyclophosphamide. © 2010 IEEE.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common type of lung cancers, is resistant to initial chemotherapy intrinsically. The expressions of xenobiotic metabolism genes, antioxidants, and drug efflux proteins are increased in NSCLC. In addition, a redox-sensitive transcription factor named Nrf2 regulates the drug resistance via the expression of electrophile, oxidants detoxification enzymes and efflux mechanism. As was detected by real-time PCR, inhibiting Nrf2 expression through the transfection of shRNA plasmids in A549 cells significantly inhibits the expressions of glutathione pathway genes, antioxidants and multidrug resistance proteins. Using biochemical assays and free radical medical experiments in vitro, it was identified that the RNAi-mediated reduction of Nrf2 expression in lung cancer cells induces the generation of reactive oxygen species, decreases the level of reduced glutathione and results in an increase in the A549 cell proliferation inhibition rate. Thus, targeting Nrf2 activity in NSCLC could be a practical way to inhibit tumor growth and eliminate chemoresistance. © 2014 - IOS Press and the authors.

Flavonoids are important components of 'functional foods', with beneficial effects on cardiovascular function. The present study was designed to investigate whether licochalcone D (LD) could be a cardioprotective agent in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and to shed light on its possible mechanism. Compared with the I/R group, LD treatment enhanced myocardial function (increased LVDP, dp/dtmax,dp/dtmin, HR and CR) and suppressed cardiac injury (decreased LDH, CK and myocardial infarct size). Moreover, LD treatment reversed the I/ R-induced cleavage of caspase-3 and PARP, resulting in a significant decrease in proinflammatory factors and an increase in antioxidant capacity in I/R myocardial tissue. The mechanisms underlying the antiapoptosis, antiinflammation and antioxidant effects were related to the activation of the AKT pathway and to the blockage of the NF-κB/p65 and p38 MAPK pathways in the I/R-injured heart. Additionally, LD treatment markedly activated endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and reduced nitric oxide (NO) production. The findings indicated that LD had real cardioprotective potential and provided support for the use of LD in myocardial I/R injury. © 2015 Yuan et al.

God is simple. The world is relative. If you try to find absolute value in worldly things, you will always restless.
May 09, 2016 (Nongriat, Meghalaya)
In certain places you feel time has stopped. You don't want to do anything, and without doing you are hurtling through a process of nature that is sometimes so overwhelming, you can't help but to wonder about this incredible diversity, which is so sundry, and at the same time everything is so precariously balanced. I never thought Meghalaya would give me such an overpowering experience that I stopped moving altogether and stayed at one place for so long. I believe in moving, I never stay at one place for more than 2-3 days, I keep moving to places during my travel, and savor the changing landscapes, but here I stopped everything.
The whole day I used to sit at my room or outside my balcony, watching hide and seek play of rain and sun. Rain here comes in feat, like a teenage lover, throwing tantrum for a whole and then shows her sunny side. But she is mercurial, again gloomy for now and again. She is fresh, not depressing, melancholic yet hopelessly poetic.
I was sitting at my rest house, looking at distant waterfalls and enjoying tiny raindrops constantly pouring from yesterday when I came here. The rest house was located near the famed double decker root bridge. I could see people, sometimes with family, sometimes solo, crossed the bridge and then went back. Nobody came near the rest house, a few may be, but people just came to Nongriat for this bridge.
Nongriat is a small village in the East Khasi Hills of Meghalaya. There are 44 families lived in this small village. The life for them is tough as twice or thrice a week then had to cover 3000 steep steps to reach neighboring village Tyrna, from where they go to Sohra market for their weekly shopping. The place is famed for these two living root bridges, especially spectacular double-decker suspension bridge called Jingkieng Nongriat.
Yesterday I met a young Canadian guy who was traveling in India for last 6 months. I was surprised to see his knowledge about places. He seemed to me as an intelligent guy, quite friendly as well. I had my binocular with me, so I watched him in the morning bathing in a stream filled gorge under the double decker bridge. He stayed in a cheap homestay named Serene that I first initially didn't know and took an expensive one. (Rs. 250 at my rest house). When I said about the rest house, he said whatever came under Rs. 300 was okay. Once he came to my rest house and impressed with the setting.
May 10, 2016
I had a pretty rough evening as mosquitoes wouldn't let me sit outside, but surprisingly mosquitoes started to disappear as the night approached. There was not electricity in the whole village for last two days, so no phone. I had a fantastic candle light dinner alone. The food was awesome, and to my amazement, he served me a sophisticated way. He also gave me two candles, so I read for an hour and then slept early.
Double-decker bridge and beyond
I found Nongriat an amazingly peaceful place, especially if you walk beyond the famed double decker bridge to the forest. Sometimes while walking around the forest I felt if I would be glad to see at least a person because the ambiance around the forest posed an eerie feeling. I visited the place onset of monsoons when almost the whole day rain never stopped. I walked for hours in the woods, took bath in some small waterfalls and enjoyed the diversified vegetation. I never saw such diversified vegetation in my life, such a beauty! The forest was full of various trees, plants and ubiquitous ferns and mosses. Everywhere I saw variety of mosses on the rocks, logs of trees, on the stem of trees, literally everywhere.
From an architectural point of view, root bridges are amazing. These are totally made up of secondary roots of Ficus Elastica tree, otherwise called rubber tree. These roots are interweaved on both sides or directed from a single tree to the other side. It is not unique to Nongriat; in various villages in Meghalaya small root bridges are made by locals for convenience, and truly a natural art form. These bridges or roots take 10-15 years to grow fully to become a functional root bridge. These bridges are extraordinarily strong, strong enough to support at least 50 people at a time.
Important Information about Nongriat
Trekking information
Surprisingly it is not an easy trek, even for people like me who are habituated in trekking. The trek starts from Tyrna Village, around 20 km from main Cherrapunji market, from there Nongriat is 5 km away. It is 3000 steps climbing down, descending 2500ft and then climbing up again.

Before Nongriat, you will find two small villages Nongthymmai and Mynteng, which are sights to behold. I liked the small huts like houses on a raised platform, built of wooden plants with slanted tin roofs. The verandah of almost every house reflected colonial style architecture.
The excitement stopped when I reached a wire rope bridge, strung precariously some 40ft above a stream. I thought I came to a wrong place because I couldn't see anything on the other side except dense forest. I tried to cross but it swayed dangerously, so I returned back. The size of boulders in the streams, roar and the sway made me nervous. In the end I had crossed the bridge but soon discovered there was another rope bridge to cross. It was perched even higher and river below had bigger boulders. But this time I had crossed it with a little fear because I saw yet another bridge to cross after that. So, it was total three bridges to cross to reach the first root bridge.
Where to stay?
I stayed in Nongriat Rest House, which is owned by Nongriat community. There were three double bedrooms with attached bathrooms, but you have to carry water from outside. The rest house was on the other side of double decker root bridge and quite a good location where you could see the bridge and forest. It's Rs. 250 per day excluding food. They didn't offer my food but after requesting them to cook some food for me, they served me surprisingly great food, even with decorated with salads.
Most of the foreigners stay in Serene Homestay because of its popularity and comfort. Serene costs you Rs.200 per day excluding food. The guesthouse has some really elaborate breakfast menus but they only serve their guests, even they don't serve tea for outsiders. Another guesthouse named Santiana charges Rs. 100 per head with basic rooms.
Important Notes
• I suggest you to stay in Nongriat for at least 2-3 days to soak in ambiance.
• There is an excellent trekking route that goes directly from Nongriat to Nohkalikai falls. You have to walk past Rainbow Falls and just walking straight. It is tough because ascend is sometimes too steep. I didn't do it but I met three people who did successfully.
• If you want to come back on the same day, it is better to start it early. From Sohra to Tyrna, you will get a government bus at 9am-9:30 am. If you want to start early in the morning, you have to squeeze yourself in one of those taxis that ply from Sohra market to Tyrna.
• Carry as minimum as possible. For a non-trekker, it's an arduous trek.
• You don't have to carry food. Everything you will find in the village albeit in 30% extra cost.
• The villages are extraordinarily clean, in fact almost every Meghalaya village is amazingly clean. So, please don't throw plastic bottles, wrappers and your garbage in the forest.
• A guide will charge you anything between Rs. 300- Rs. 500. Although the path is quite straightforward, a guide will tell many hidden stories during the journey.
• If possible carry colored pencils, pens, crayons, books, notebooks for children. There are plenty of them in the villages.

The workshop was located in the Financial District, so the memorial and museum were within walking distance from my hotel. Thank goodness because the cab rides made me so incredibly sick!
Admission was $24 per person and Chris decided to accompany me for the trip at the last minute. We left the kids with my parents. The price was a drawback at first, but the chances we would visit NYC again without the kids was pretty slim.
First, we walked over to the memorial and my first reaction was that it was so much larger than it looked in pictures. The size of it was a sad shock. The concept of making the fountain an endless pit was fitting. I saw several names that had "unborn child" listed after it.
The tickets are timed. We waited outside in a line to enter and it started raining. At first it was okay, but then it started to pour and we got soaked! Finally, we went inside. You descend into the basement of the building.
This is the original staircase that led from the building out to the street.
There was a good deal of artifacts, but not as many as you would expect given the amount that was lost. The other thing that struck me was how dated everything looked already. There was a camcorder and a phone recovered and they looked ancient.
There was voice mail recordings playing in several rooms and they were very emotional to listen to. Some that sounded hopeful like an everyday call that they would be fine and others that knew it was their last moments. One message was from a guy in the South Tower who calls his wife after seeing someone jump from the North Tower and fall to the ground. The guy sounded really shaken, but goes on to say that he's safe in the South Tower on the 101st floor. Lives were lost because people in the South Tower were told to stay there where they were safe.
Lots of photographs I had not seen before. Two fire trucks and an ambulance recovered from the scene, but badly damaged. Only the door of the medical examiner's car was left. I believe they said everyone from this Ladder 3 was lost.
A full bike rack of crushed bikes, trauma bags, shoes and clothing that were either covered in ash or blood. They didn't permit photos in most areas, so I was only able to sneak in a few here and there.
A few steel beams, the shaft of an elevator and piece of one of the tops of the tower.
There was a room with a photo of each person that was lost. That was shocking too because the room was huge and had photos from floor to ceiling. It was the quieted museum I've ever visited. The surrounding areas around the museum were still under construction.
I liked that each artifact contained lengthy explanations and personal stories. They used a leaf after names to designate that the person had passed. Several artifacts that were recovered and returned to the families were donated back to the museum.
There were pieces of plane debris, handwritten notes from communication between ground control and those onboard the hijacked planes, video footage of the hijackers entering the airport terminals, and hundreds of "Missing" posters.
I wish we had more time to explore. It is definitely worth the stop if you are planning a trip to NYC.

New Delhi, Nov. 10 (ANI): The Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 is inviting separate Expressions of Interest (EOIs) in two key service areas associated with the tournament, which would be jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand, an ICC press release has said.
According to the press release, the first EOI invitation is for companies interested in providing a Ticketing Solution for the tournament, while the second is for Marketing Services.
EOI submissions will be evaluated against specific criteria with successful respondents, who would then be invited to prepare detailed proposals as part of a tender process, and subsequently, the successful companies will work closely with the LOC, which has offices in Melbourne, Australia and Wellington, New Zealand.
The press release outlined that the marketing agencies applying for the marketing services quota will have to deliver a comprehensive campaign to generate excitement and anticipation around the tournament and then convert this into ticket sales and other forms of participation.
The deadline for responses to the Ticketing EOI is 1600 Australian Eastern Summer Time on Friday 16 November 2012, and for Marketing Services EOI is 1600 Australian Eastern Summer Time on Friday 23 November 2012.
Interested parties can find the relevant documents and lodgement details at www.icc-cricket.com, the press release concluded. (ANI)
