Emeralds Have Been Highly Prized For Centuries
Whether you are Irish, portion Irish or just pretending, this page will assist you celebrate in crafty style! If you use your Emerald Card at an ATM not owned by us for any transaction, which includes a balance inquiry, you might be charged an added surcharge charge by the ATM operator even if you do not full a withdrawal. From a chemical-mineralogical point of view, emeralds are beryllium-aluminium-silicates with a very good hardness of 7.five to eight, and belong, like the light blue aquamarine, the tender pink morganite, the golden heliodor and the pale green beryl, to the massive gemstone household of the beryls. No. Only the Emerald Savings account owner can transfer funds into the Joint Card account.
After you have designed your gamer card and Your Gamer Cards has you in their database you can search for yourself by PSN ID and verify out your trophy list. So if you are a Tiny Huge Planet level creator and you have a gem of a level to show off but no a single plays it just try using this card. Pliny commented that green gladdened the eye without having tiring it. Green is perceived as fresh and vivid, never as monotonous.
Despite its durability problems, the extraordinary beauty of the emerald green color has made it a highly desirable gem for thousands of years. And one particular far more piece of suggestions on the acquire of an emerald: while diamonds generously scintillate their fire in sizes below 1 carat, you should go for bigger dimensions when acquiring a coloured gemstone. The ancient Egyptians believed that the green of emeralds was a symbol of the green renewal of the earth during the springtime, and so attributed to the gem symbolism relating to fertility, rebirth, and ease of childbirth. The H&R Block Emerald Prepaid MasterCard is a tax refund-associated deposit item.
A feeling of being wealthy and richness is attached to the emerald gem, along with the lush luxury that a deep jewel color conveys. We are driving to the outer banks at this quite moment and just spotted a gator in the canal off the side of the 64. It was totally unexpected so we googles to see how frequent alligators are in this part of NC and certain sufficient… I guess it isn't named Alligator River for nothing.
The H&R Block Emerald Prepaid MasterCard is a tax refund-associated deposit solution. I doubt we will ever see an american gator that lengthy but they do get lengthy 14′ – 20′ would be quite huge for NC. I live in Lenoir NC close to lake hickory and about an hour from lake norman and there have been gators spotted in lake hickory (catawba river) so please be respecful, and be safe.

"7 Uncertain Scripts" is the first of a series of installations initiated following our research on the ambivalence of words used both in the sacred sphere and the pop culture vocabulary. In each work another layer is added and explored in an attempt to critically tension what becomes a cluster of meanings.
The gesture of downloading nature becomes building and thinking material for the lightbox neo-chapel that confronts visitors with 7 speculative scenarios of a possible future in a post-internet, post-religious-order-as-we-know-it, post-chronological and post-drugs world.
In the aftermath of the megalomaniac past of the building hosting the museum and on the eve of the alarming rise of the future orthodox cathedral looming in its courtyard, "7 Uncertain Scripts" is for Apparatus 22 an escape that heightens sensibility in understanding the shift brought in by the recent acknowledgement of Anthropocene.
The production of the installation was kindly supported by Apparatus 22 Production Fund provided by: KOVOSTROJ, EXEC INSTAL, add and KILOBASE BUCHAREST.
Pianosaurus (Pianodisastrous) is an improvisational mechanism that investigates the possibility to prepare a piece of software, an instrument or an infinite number of virtual instruments (in this case four pianos) through extensive pre-programing. Built to explore one or more pianos beyond the physical or mechanical limitations in the reproduction of a note, Pianosaurus creates motion shortcuts that favor the fastest ways to manipulate the volume, length, timbre, tonality, speed and octave of a sound, while instantly changing the tonal modes or elaborating new ones. Pianosaurus was inspired by early mechanical instruments such as The Imperial Alnico Bösendorfer piano of Conlon Nancarrow, The Ocular Harpsichord of Louis Bertrand Castel, or by the Orchestrion. Basically, it is a virtual "turbo-fied" piano able to accelerate on the spur of the moment from 20 beats per minute to 999 beats in less than 0.3 seconds.
Romania is amongst the poorest and most religious states in Europe. Monotremu's work is a fake and deceiving call to an imaginary mass-ceremony that gives the promise of a better life. The installation is part of the series Survival Kit, through which religion is seen as a last resort for all our social and political problems, when everything else seems to fail. Out of its ordinary context, Q.E.F. becomes a ceremonial sound installation, an ironic/iconic display in opposition to the construction of the "national redemption" orthodox cathedral rising just in front of MNAC.
Sergiu Doroftei, Bogdan Susma, and Ion Cotenescu conspire to turn the very long staircase going to MNAC's rooftop into a moving walkway, trough sound and vibration. Frustrations aside, the ascent may become if not easier, at least more rewarding. Beware what you grasp by the hand!
Sergiu Doroftei, Bogdan Susma, and Ion Contenescu are a working group with interests ranging between new-media engineering and art. They teamed up to implement several such distraction methods at previous Rokolectiv editions, out of which last year's Pingtime.

Research Interests:
My laboratory uses the mouse as an experimental genetic model to investigate factors that contribute to inter-individual differences in health and disease. Our current research activities include the identification and functional characterization of alleles contributing to cancer susceptibility, the function of the Erbb gene family in development and disease, and the role of genetic variation in response to environmental stimuli. To support these investigations, we also are developing new genetic tools to support mammalian systems genetic approaches to phenotypes with complex genetic and environmental etiologies. Cancer genetics: We are focusing on colorectal and breast cancer to identify environmental factors and genetic polymorphisms contributing to differential susceptibility to the development and progression of cancer. We are also developing approaches to exploit these factors to prevent or delay cancer as well as to identify new therapies. Epidermal growth factor receptor (Egfr): We are using mouse models with genetically engineered or spontaneous mutations to elucidate the biological role of Egfr and other member of the Erbb gene family in vivo. These studies have lead to new insights into the role of these genes in neuronal survival and behavior, obesity, cancer and cardiovascular disease. We are currently performing mechanistic studies to identify how the Erbb genes contribute to normal and abnormal phenotypes. Genetics of environmental response: Just as individuals differ in their genetic constitution and disease susceptibility, they also differ in their responses to exogenous stimuli. We are using mouse models to investigate responses to environmental factors like the enteric flora of the gastrointestinal tract and diet and toxicants like dioxin and trichloroethane. The goal of these studies is to identify how individual responses to environmental factors leads to differential disease susceptibilities. Systems genetics resources: We are leading a large international effort to develop and exploit a new mouse genetic resources that will support the integration of genetics into systems biological analyses at the whole animal level. These efforts are based upon the Collaborative Cross, which is a unique recombinant inbred population of mice that have randomly assorted the genetic polymorphisms present in the eight founder inbred strains.

Sense Of Place In Tibet And Shangri-La - With A Free Essay Review
"Tibet is simply one of the most remarkable places in Asia. It offers fabulous monasteries, breathtaking high- altitude treks, stunning views of the world's highest mountains and one of the most likeable peoples you will ever meet." With this quote the image of Tibet has been created by one of world's most famous travel guides Lonely Planet. However, Tibet holds more than a religious place. According to Davidson and Milligan a sense of place is a "place that must be felt to make sense". Tibet can be seen as a sense of place because for example locals have a certain feeling of belonging with that place. There are things which they can only find when they are in Tibet. Like Agnew and Duncan describe, it "refers to the emotional, experiental and affective traces that tie humans into particular environments." But not only locals see Tibet as something extraordinary, also people from far away come all the way to Tibet to experience it on first hand. Motivations are such as the religion (for example pilgrims), culture or leisure. For tourists who are especially interested in some adventure they can visit places where monasteries are less visited. The landscapes of Tibet are as diverse as its culture itself. In the north one can find grassland, in the west mars-like deserts can be found, in the south Himalaya snowy mountains can be seen and in the centre are valleys and big lakes. Going through Tibet one can observe how Tibetans live their everyday life. With that, one is able to experience their culture. Behind every single place is a story. This shows the way Tibet is shaped by its great history. According to Lonely Planet the key to Tibet's soul is one of the many pilgrim routes . Many tourists have come to get out of their everyday life and to experience Tibet in a calm and friendly way for relaxation. These different aspects show that Tibet offers a great diversity and with that every single one of us will have a different impression, when one will go there to experience it.
This paper will show the relation among sense of place and place for tourists in Tibet and later for Shangri-La. It tries to explain that a place is mostly shaped by the cultural aspect, especially by the locals and therefore a sense of place will attract tourists. To go more in-depth about this statement this paper will also describe issues of place-making, the sense of place based on the case of Tibet. As places are mainly made by culture it is first important to understand the culture and the history of Tibet.
Literature review
According to Steele "a place results from an interaction among the unique cultural and physical characteristics of a setting and the personality and behavior of an individual in that setting." Through that certain attachment to a place, a sense of place is the "key way in which human, culture and environment are united ". Human Geographers like Buttimer, Relph, Tuan and Graefe describe that the "sense of belonging and a sense of purpose to their lives are attached personally to place, people ". Another author is Shamai who states that a sense of place is a set of "feelings, attitudes, and behavior". In line with that Williams and Stewart define sense of place as the collection of meanings, beliefs, symbols, values and feelings that an individual - or a group of individuals – associate with a particular physical location. Also it is said by Fredrickson and Kerr sense of place is considered as deep feelings, described as spiritual, ethical, emotional, aesthetic, cultural or existential. Apparently there have been many authors defining and describing the sense of place. Most of the literature approach sense of place from individual aspects in a specific setting. The authors mostly talk about four main aspects. It is something emotional, cultural, spiritual and aesthetical. Although most of the literature approached it from an individual level, it can also be collective and its values come from a place. Relative to tourism sense of place is an important aspect. Sense of place is a crucial part of the experience of visitors. Place is experienced as a deeply important, even spiritual, quality of a setting .Tibet is an example where a place is taken and made a place for a political and cultural action. Maxey summarizes, the cultural world is produced through the acts of each of us engage with every day. Everything we do, every thought we have, adds to the production of the social world. "We are in a sense all activists, as we are all engaged in producing the world." Therefore it can be said Tibet has been shaped and created as a place since it has been influenced by so many cultures and has been through historian events. Nevertheless, to understand how Tibet is made as a place it is significant to understand Tibet itself first.
Geographical location of Tibet – Shangri-La
Tibet is located to the south and west of Burma, India, Bhutan, Sikkim and Nepal. It is also in the southwest of China and in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Tibet's region can be alienated in three geographic parts: the west which is also the North-Tibet Plateau and it is positioned among the Kunlun Mountain and Kangdese Mountain and Tonglha Mountain and Nyainqentanglha Mountain, the south has valleys which are among Kangdese Mountains and Himalayas and the east consists of canyons and is characterized by gradually decline in altitude (also known as Henduan Ranges) . Tibet's capital is Lhasa, which means "The land of gods". This shows how religious Tibet is and how important it is to its inhabitants.
"Yet, the gardens were empty of people and it seemed that I was the only visitor to this paradise. […]Oh realm of Shangri La, by the great creatures you were made! […] "
"Shangri-La" was a fictive place but many people have the image of a utopian place in Tibet when they hear the name "Shangri-La". As the authors of "Lonely Planet" illustrate it is "lodged in western psyche . Nevertheless, this term is originally from James Hilton's novel "Lost Horizon", which deals with a place utopian place in the Himalaya where people live in harmony and do not age . This probably explains why people imagine Shangri-La as a kind of paradise. What readers read in books is memorized by them. With the image the readers get, they become curious about the place. Nowadays, especially Westerners use the term Shangri-La to advertise Tibet since "it evokes imagery of oriental mysticism . Today the name Shangri-La is a real place. The Zhongdian County was renamed in May, 2002 into Shangri-La due to advertised reasons for tourism.
Culture of Tibet
According to Gerald D. Berreman Tibetan culture is defined by Tibetan language, Lamaistic Buddhism, and a combination of pastoralism and settled agriculture. It is one factor, which give Tibet a kind of meaning.
Tibet's culture shows a great diversity. It shows influences of Mahayana Buddhism, Tantric Buddhism and the shamanistic religion of the Himalayas . However there is more. In this paper culture is defined in four different aspects. First the language, then the art and science, then the beliefs and religion and at last the social activities
Tibetans have their own language. Their language is called the Tibeto-Burman language of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Their language is influenced by the Chinese, Indian and Mongolian language.
Second of all, the" Tibetan traditional arts focused in religious worship" . It includes "scroll paintings of deities, sculpture, carved altars, religious texts, altar implements, statues of precious metal inlaid with gems, appliquéd temple hangings, and operatic costumes for religious performances, religious music, and religious singing. " Many of those "crafts were carried out by monks in monasteries" . To conclude about Tibetans Arts and sciences it can be illustrated as followed: "Tibetan writing and literature includes works on history, philosophy, medicine, mathematics, and astronomy as well as works of fiction and poetry. Local peasants produced utilitarian household objects for their own use or purchased them at a local market. Women wore multiband front aprons, regionally specific headdresses, and jewelry. "
The third aspect is the beliefs and the religion. Tibetans are deeply religious. Their religion is the Tibetan Buddhism. Almost the entire population is Buddhist except for minor amount who is Muslim, which "is a syncretic mix of Indian Buddhism, Tantrism, and the local pantheistic religion." The religion is practiced in public and are organized with religious holidays .
The last aspect is the social activities. Tibetans have dances and singers in their culture like every other common culture. They dance on streets and dress up .Their folk art has figures of Buddha and figures made of yak butter. Tangka is a painted wall-hanging depicting Buddhist theme .
In all those aspects it can be seen and confirmed that Tibetan culture is highly diverse and gives that place an addition to its special meaning.
History of Tibetans and Tibet
[…]"A hurried farewell to Lhasa,
Where the fear is in your breathing, in the beating of your heart,
In the silence when you want to speak but don't,
In the catch in your throat." […]
This short part of the poem "On the road out of Lhasa" shows the fear of the inhabitants and can reflect Tibetans history. Its history is a combination of "invasion and intrigue, of soaring religious debate, reincarnation, miracles and murders, all taking place under the backdrop of one of the world's most extreme environments." From a "warring expansionist empire to an introspective non-violent Buddhist nation". This is how Tibet's history can be sum up. Nonetheless, it all started with the arrivals of Tibetan in K'iang in central China. At that time (5th century B.C.) Buddha was living in India, Confucius and Lao-Tseu in China. The history can be alienated in two parts: The first with the establishment and the end of the Tibetan Kingdoms and the second one with the establishment and the end of the Dalai-Lama Theocracy. During both periods no distinction can be drawn among the civil and religious problems. The Tibetan King Sron-Tsan-Gampo was very powerful and a menace to the Chinese Empire during the 7th century. Many famous buildings and holy places were built. When the Tibetan leadership in Asia was weaker, the Mongol Khan considered Tibet as a sacred country and secured it. This protection continued when Mongol Dynasty reigned over China. The Chinese Ming emperors also accept the leadership of Tibetan Buddhism in all China. Tibet lived peacefully up to the recent period. The first European travelers to visit Tibet were very impressed by the country and its inhabitants. Tibet was told and considered as a mythic country. By the end of the Second World War, the Mao-Tse-Tung army overpowered Chang-Kai-Chek and entered peaceful Tibet. After setting up a pro-Chinese administration, the first decisions brought a severe famine, suppressed civil rights and enforced the Chinese language. In March 1959 Lhassa population requested the Dalai-Lama to escape in India, against his will. In the 1970s, during the Cultural Revolution the Red Guards damaged nearly 2000 official buildings and holy places and burnt nearly all the Tibetan libraries and books to get rid of the Tibetan civilization and language. For the last four years a strong repression came up in monasteries, in spite if the presence of Europeans journalists and tourists. Under Chinese rule serfdom was abolished and in 1965 Tibet was made an autonomous region. A railway from Beijing to Lhasa was built in 2006. It is also the highest railway in the world. However, in March 2008 Tibetan resentment against Chinese resulted into riots in Lhasa.
Images of Tibet from different perspectives; Tibet in the eyes of foreigners
In the literature review of this report it has been concluded that making sense of place is often times related to the individual feelings and opinions to a site. This part will go in deeper meaning of different individual beliefs and experiences of Tibet.
- "I see different Tibet" by a French hotel tycoon tours.
- "The police on the streets are kind and polite" by Guzman Escardo
- Foreign students at Tibet University regard Tibet as their ideal home, and China as a compelling destination.
Those are only a few examples of different opinions but every single one has a different impression of Tibet. Nevertheless some of the people or countries who are interested in Tibet have different ideas of what they want from Tibet than the ideas of what Tibetans want from their own country. Chinese for example claim that Tibet traditionally belongs to China .
China even sends Chinese people to build up the infrastructure and claim that they helped Tibet for their economic development .A Tibetan once had a talk given in Bombay on 17 March 2000 as part of the week-long 'Festival of Tibet 2000' organized by the Friends of Tibet (INDIA) and Tibetan Youth Congress, which said that Tibet that "never before 23 May 1951- when a conquered and defeated Tibetan government was forced to sign an unequal 'treaty' - the so-called '17 Point Agreement on Measures for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet' - had the Tibet ever surrendered its independence. "This is the reason why China claims to be part of China. Tibetans are longing for independence, but that might require working together with India to maintain Tibetans culture, which is crucial to Tibetans. As the Dalai-Lama said "Tibet is an important place; it is strategically important, also economically. Although the Chinese proudly say that they spend a large amount of money in Tibet to develop it, but on the other side if Han Chinese keeps on coming and bringing their culture in, the losses of Tibetans culture is the result .India also plays a significant role in influencing Tibet. First it "hosts the Dalai-Lama's government-in-exile in Dharamsala. India Also supports Tibet political and morally the Tibetan government-in-exile .Another point is that Tibet's religion originated from India's religion .Already in the past many Tibetans came to India to visit holy places and later on vice versa. Resulting from different stakeholders of influencing Tibet one can see that Tibet is affected and shaped by its historian events and by its different stakeholders who claim to have a right about deciding about Tibet.

"When we shape the world, we create places. " Throughout the paper Tibet has been discussed from different aspects. But because Tibet is an interesting place it is also an interesting destination for tourism. How are people shaped by Tibet, and how is the place created then? In the following this should be answered. So there is there is Tibet as a country and Shangri-La as a particular place within Tibet. Around Shangri-La is a typical case, where a story is used to make it attractive for tourists. There have been several studies about tourism who have described the creation of myths about tourist destinations . Since Zhongdian County was officially renamed Shangri-La County it attracted even more tourists than before. This name was much more common among tourists, especially western tourists. This is because of the novel of James Hilton, who was mentioned earlier. In shaping and creating Tibet – Shangri-La has many stakeholders who acquire an interest in building it up to a tourist destination. Here most of the population is Tibetans. Therefore they have the strongest influence on creating a shaping Tibet – Shangri-La. Most of the bureaucrats, who can actually do something in influencing Tibet, are Tibetans or they are members of other nationalities .Those bureaucrats have been working out a five-point-plan in which preventing the losses of Tibetans culture is a significant point. According to the Tourism Department Shangri-La also stand for 'preserving nature and culture'. With this statement it can already be seen how important the Tibetans culture is for its inhabitants. This also goes along with the expectations of tourists and especially western tourists. It has been said "Tourists like the exotic, to return to nature. They don't like modernization. Foreign tourists will make up the majority of tourists who visit this area in the future. Other areas are too developed, and this area will attract them" . Here one can see that with preventing the losses of Tibetans culture will result in more tourists coming. Seeing the nature and the locals united as one, in a place many stories are around, will attract tourists. It is not enough to just read what books have been told, but it is to the importance for tourists to experience that place on first hand. This goes in line with Korski's statement: 'People are searching for a new world. No money, no power, no politics. This is the place people have dreamed of, from the book and the movie.' However, Mr. Xuan says that it is not for tourists. Moreover, "it's for real people looking for a real place where there is harmony. If Shangri-La is only for tourism and three-star hotels, I say no. There are blue skies, not like Beijing," he adds. All those aspects Shangri-La can offer and make it so special and different. It seems like that all stakeholders who have a great influence on creating Tibet – Shangri-La want it to be seen as a kind of paradise.
The primary goal of the Chinese authority is to promote the image of China as an unified, multicultural and multiethnic state, where the 'minority nationalities' represent the more colorful and exotic varieties of Chinese culture, whereas the Han represent the more 'modern' and cosmopolitan culture. In this case the minorities are the Tibetans. However, there is still the possibility that China wants to modernize Tibet, because it keeps on sending Han Chinese to Tibet in order to "help" them.
Nevertheless, Shangri-La has come to symbolize 'the longing of human beings for a perfect and peaceful world', where there is 'complete harmony between man and nature, and man and man' .Shangri-La' provides an answer for the dreams of urban Chinese, attracted to a place where people live 'in harmony with each other and the environment' .This is something what attracts tourists from all over the world, no matter whether one is a Chinese tourist or one is a Western tourist.
Although tourists bring a lot benefits to locals because they can make living there is a bad side of tourism. Monasteries can become overcrowded because of the great number of tourists coming every day to experience the religion . With that many tourists coming everyday locals will not have the chance of having a calm and silent way of living their everyday life or even to practice their religion without being observed by tourists.
In the case of Tibet – Shangri- La, Chinese people are looking for a place of 'peace and harmony', 'clean water and blue skies' and 'friendly people' and a landscape of nostalgia . Today many Chinese visit Tibet because of those aspects. China is modernized in a way that they cannot find those aspects in their own country anymore. At least not in the way they can find it in Tibet or especially in Shangri-La. Since Tibetans originated their religion from India they always have been visiting each other's holy places, especially Tibetans visited India a lot. For Tibetans it is a place like nowhere else. They have seen a lot through years. But at the end it is that they want to be independent and not ruled by others. They want to maintain their culture and practice their religion freely.
In this paper many aspects has been discussed. Goal of this paper was not only to confirm the statement that a place is mostly shaped by the cultural aspect (culture in this case has been defined earlier already) especially by the locals and therefore a sense of place will attract tourists, but also to understand Tibet as a country and later Shangri-La as a place within Tibet. It was furthermore to understand how different stakeholders shaped and created Tibet as it is now or as a sense of place. Moreover it was also to understand how Tibetans deal with the fact when their place becomes a tourist destination.
Tibet was invaded in the past many times, although at some point their history they were a strong country. But since Tibet became a Buddhist country it did not harm anyone. But because China keeps on wanting to own Tibet, Tibet has struggled a lot until it became autonomous. The whole world has seen how Tibet finally became autonomous. Being a lot in the media raised people's curiosity about that country. But not only since a few hundred years Tibet had become interesting. It already happened when James Hilton published his novel about Shangri-La in Tibet, which was at that point only a fictive place. With tourism expanding over the years and all over the world, Tibet became an attractive destination. In this paper Shangri-La was especially discussed. Shangri-La which brings up keywords like "paradise", "nature and human as one", "utopia", "the exotic" and many more.
Tibetans were more in the center of attention because of them wanting to become an autonomous country. Getting their freedom and just to live as they want to. However, there is the point that since they are autonomous now, that they want to be seen differently. Tibetans wants to be understood and appreciated. Tibetans have the chance to do so, because many tourists are coming to experience Tibet on first hand.
This place so many people have been talking about it, in books and in the media. But how does it look like in real. This is exactly why tourists come from far or near to experience it. The history of Tibet has been shaping Tibet in many ways and those events have been shaping the inhabitants. All this had a great impact on their culture and their way of living. With so many impacts on one country or one particular place Tibet – Shangri-La is a place full of exotic and interesting culture.
Even though looking at different perspectives how people feel about Tibet then even within the country the Tibetans might feel differently about their place. Young and old people might be differently attached to their place. Old people normally are attached to the not modern way of living, whereas young people prefer to life in a modern way.
Concluded it can be said that historian, like religion, literature (novel of James Hilton) or stakeholders who claim to "own" Tibet, circumstances lead to a social creation of places. The place Zhongdian County has a new meaning by renaming it into Shangri-La. This new meaning is shaped by the novel of James Hilton. It gives the place a symbolic value and meaning at the same time. Shangri-La is popular term, even though it is the official name now, to promote it for tourism, because it is more likely to be known from the novel already. The county's name has been changed also for marketing reasons. Whether locals were against it or not remains unclear in this case. All in all one can see that Tibet – Shangri-La is a sense of place because it holds so many stories, which shaped the place and made it to the place as it is today.
When you are writing an essay that is largely comprised of information, it is always a good idea to at least give some indication of the point of such information, but it seems to me that your invocation of the concept of "sense of place" is a fairly artificial way of justifying your brief overview of certain historical and cultural facts about Tibet. Ideally, one of two things ought to happen in the essay as an essay concerned with the problem of "sense of place." Either
(1) The historical and cultural information that you present could be used to clarify the peculiar nature of Tibetans' sense of place. You would therefore need to make a particular argument about how Tibet's historical and cultural phenomena contribute to the sense of place that is prevalent there, and you would need to somehow clarify what that sense of place is like. In this case, the essay would be primarily about a particular aspect of Tibet: Tibetans' sense of place.
(2) The information about Tibet could just be an example (perhaps one example among others, or perhaps presented just as a particularly telling example) of how a sense of place develops in general. You would therefore need to focus on the concept of "sense of place" and that which is currently confined largely to your introduction (thoughts about the meaning of "a sense of place") would be developed throughout the essay. In this case, the essay would be primarily about a particular concept: "sense of place" in general.
At present, large parts of your essay don't quite do either of these things, although clearly the essay is more like (1) than (2). Your conclusion offers a more comprehensive view than the introduction of the topics covered in the paper, but it also overstates what has actually been accomplished in the essay. Part of the problem, I think, is with the very concept "sense of place," which I suspect you have misunderstood. You seem on occasion to be suggesting that "sense of place" is a property of "place," whereas in fact it is a property of sensible creatures (e.g., humans). For instance, in your introduction you say "Tibet can be seen as a sense of place because for example locals have a certain feeling of belonging with that place." The second part of that sentence seems to make sense, but the first part does not. It is not clear to me whether the problem is initially one of a simple error (perhaps you meant to say "Tibet can be seen as _having_ a sense of place"), but even if that were the case, the sentence would be problematic. You could reasonably claim, however, that people in Tibet have a strong sense of place, and focus your essay on demonstrating why that is the case. You could focus your essay, in other words, on the project of answering the question, Where do people in Tibet, whether natives or visitors, get this strong sense of place, and what is the nature of their sense of place? Up to a point your essay is answering that question, but it does not do so explicitly or consistently. Again, to generate a unified, purpose-driven narrative, you also need to have a firm grasp of the topic, and it is not clear to me that you have that yet.
It is perhaps symptomatic of this problem that you divide your essays into sections (Geography, Culture, History, Images of Tibet, Making Tibet, Conclusion). Doing that allows you to avoid developing a continuous argument or even narrative. Once you're done talking about the geographical location, for example, you simple move on to another topic (culture), without including either a reflection on the relevant of the section on location to the overall purpose of the essay, or a transition to the next part of your essay. It's not clear, in fact, why you have a section on the geographic location at all. You do say, before the section begins, that "to understand how Tibet is made as a place it is important [note correction] to understand Tibet itself first." But that doesn't explain why you are going to talk about geographical location. It is clear, however, that you are interested in foreign perceptions of Tibet; in particular you are interested in misperceptions. You introduce that topic in this section with your reference to the fictional origin of Shangri-La. So how has the geographical location of Tibet helped form these perceptions and misperceptions? How does the location enable or contribute to the power of the "imagery of Oriental mysticism" that in this section of your essay is said to be evoked by the name "Shangri-La"? What does the location generally have to do with the concept of "sense of place" that your essay is concerned with? Obviously, the same kinds of questions could be asked of other sections in your essay. Your section on culture does conclude with a statement about that section's significance for your overall argument, but that statement ("In all those aspects it can be seen and confirmed that Tibetan culture is highly diverse and gives that place an addition to its special meaning") is very vague. Your section on the history of Tibet makes no such statement at all.
My point here is not that you should remove that section on geographical location (or any of the other sections) from your essay, but rather that you haven't yet properly included it in your essay as such. It is there, as a section, but the point of its being there is not clearly articulated. You start talking about location, and then you stop talking about location, and move on to something else. You need to create logical transitions between your different topics and integrate your different sections into a unified, purpose-driven, argument-driven narrative. If you do that, of course, then you can get rid of the sectional division of your essay altogether, which would be ideal for a short essay.
Best wishes, EJ.

Most people will ask, what is purlin roll forming machine? Roll forming machine is used to pressure grinding cement, steel and other materials, finished products and ultimately their equipment. The purlin roll forming machine is used to make purlin machinery. With purlin used in construction, there are a lot of roll forming machines for sale on the market. Next, we come to know purlin roll forming machine from the four aspects.
(1) Working principle
The purlin roll forming machine is designed based on the principles of grinding material bed, and there are several features of it, including high-pressure, full-speed, full of material, material bed crushing. The purlin roll forming machine composed of the synchronous rotation of two opposing squeeze rolls, a fixing roller and an active roll. Steel and other materials are given in from the top two rollers, squeezed between rollers into a continuous roll, after receiving high pressure into dense cake discharged from the machine. The discharged cake contains a proportion of fines product. Inside the unfinished particles, there are a large amount of cracks, improving materials' grind ability and greatly reducing the grinding energy in the further grinding process.
(2) Constitute
The purlin roll forming machine consists of frame, two rolls, gears, torque bearing, roller covers, feeding device, hydraulic (pressure) system, main bearing lubrication system, grease lubrication systems, electrical systems and other components . In these components, rolls, gears, roller cover, feeding devices, hydraulic systems and other equipment are key parts. Typically, when using purlin roll forming machine, we need to give enough attention on these important parts , because once a problem with some of these sites emerges, it will affect the overall operation of the device and cause serious damage to the equipment directly.
(3) Advantages of using device
People are increasingly using purlin roll forming machine as production equipment, which is inseparable from the device itself advantages. Applications of purlin roll forming machine can significantly improve product yields. Using roll forming machine grinding materials can also reduce power consumption. Compared to the same production capacity and tube mill roller presses, roll forming machine has simple structure and small size, weight light can save space and reduce investment. In addition, when the noisy is also lower than the same type of equipment, it will cause production more flexible environment and reduce geographical restrictions.
(4) Routine maintenance
Even the best equipment can not be separated from routine maintenance, thus routine maintenance is also very important for purlin roll forming machine, including periodic inspection and fault repair. Daily or periodic inspection for a period of time in different parts of the device to be checked to ensure proper use of equipment, of course, this section also includes daily cleaning and lubrication operations. The breakdown maintenance of equipment includes excessive vibration, poor hydraulic systems, high bearing temperatures and large parts of the two-roll gap adjustment and maintenance. Understanding of these contents, we will have deeper understanding of the purlin roll forming machine and if you want to master complete use, you also need to understand their information-related equipment.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that knowledge is more popular among young audiences than it ever has been.
Witness the rise to social media stardom of intellectual powerhouses such as Neil deGrasse Tyson. Or the rise of the do-it-yourself mentality being applied to everything from furniture to food making.
In the workplace especially young people are turning to tutorials, podcasts and non-traditional learning groups not just to advance in their career, but to take pride in their profession and build their personal brand.
Innovative brands are taking notice. From how-to blogs to full online courses, various businesses and organizations are creating and promoting "pop" educational content as a way to connect with audiences, collect targeted leads, drive web traffic and enhance their brand image.
And while these learning options will never replace the breadth of knowledge and experience one gains at a college or university, branded educational content does provide audiences quick intellectual capital that's immediately shareable. And it's not only useful, but quite possibly "cool".
Does your brand have something to teach? If so you could make a big impact through education-based content. Here are a couple of ways to do it.
Media and Content
A number of brands are taking what they know and turning it into content, from blogs to videos to documentaries. Here are a few examples of different executions:
- (Blog series) The professional staffing and recruitment firm Aerotek taps into an internal panel of recruiters and industry experts for their Business Insights blog series, affirming the Aerotek as a true thought leader and driving some serious web traffic.
- (Video series) The Search Engine Optimization software Moz's Whiteboard Friday series features the brand's mustached mascot covering an aspect of SEO each week. The simple yet engaging series shows just what you can do if you put someone who's knowledgeable and passionate in front of a camera.
- (e-book) Distributed through a number of online tactics, Evergreen Health's The World's Easiest Health Insurance Guide (Ever) is an e-book that's not only used to drive web traffic, collect leads and enhance the company's brand, it actually supports their mission to demystify healthcare and aid individuals and families.
- (Mobile phone app) The University of Michigan College Engineering's 'One Cool Thing' mobilephone app delivers a story each day on innovation, revolution and history in the world engineering.
- (Podcast) Created in partnership with the Umpqua Bank, the Open Account podcast teaches us everything we want to know but are afraid to ask about money.
- (Documentary) In an attempt to promote their brand while promoting the importance of vegetarianism, MorningStar Farms produced the documentary "The Veg Effect."
Learning Experiences
As a step up from education-based content, some brands are making full "courses" in various forms and offering them at a price or for free. Here are three top examples:
- (e-course) InVision–a website prototyping app–offers a free 9 part e-course on Principles of UX Design.
- (Webinar) Skift is a travel marketing publication that has started to take their research and content and turn it into a revenue source, creating White Papers, courses, and webinars.
- (Online Course) The design company IDEO has taken its knowledge to the next level by creating an online course for marketers and creators of all kinds. Leading for Creativity is not only a revenue source. It's a way to define the company as a top-tier expert and drive marketers from other business to them.
If your marketing team has a content marketing plan or is in the midst of implementing one, it would be hard not to ignore the options in this list. You'd even be surprised by how simple it is to create this type of content.
Open sourced video assets and changing audience standards have made video creation a lot easier, while new tools make it easy for brands to create a comprehensive, online course.

Info concerning Northeastern Junior College basketball tournament, and registering for elective lectures and seminars. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. Coaches are going to be more drawn to players who display genuine interest in their program throughout the recruitment process. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Northeastern Junior College Basketball information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Northeastern Junior College.
Always maintain a positive attitude, especially when you're in pain, or losing a game. Be a good sport, and keep trying. Believe you'll be successful, act like you can still win the game, and then go out and make it happen. Be aggressive, and make a second try on a given play if you have time. It's one thing to make a good effort, but great players keep trying until they succeed, no matter how many years of team practice that takes.
If you get lazy, and decide to take it easy during practice, coaches will take notice. Push yourself, work hard, and you'll improve as a player. It's important to find a position that you really like to play, not just settle for what you're good at. Over the long haul, you'll have a better athletic career. Gwinnett Technical College tennis camp may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for Northeastern Junior College basketball tournament, you may think about Gainesville State College exam schedule for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Celestial Outlook
By Hon. Snr. Evang. Prosper Awosika, December 14th, 2002
I want to talk today about surviving in a stretched out and stressed out
world. I believe this message will not only be appropriate for us who have been
on a journey in the church for a long time, but it will also be appropriate for
our children that are growing up beginning their journey in life.
To answer this question we have to look at the life of Jesus Christ. Jesus
lived his whole life under pressure. When he tried to steal some time away from
people they still followed him. There was always great demand on his time. He
was constantly interrupted, misunderstood, criticized and ridiculed. Yet he
never crashed under pressure. He was always at peace, never in a hurry. That was
why he was able to handle great amounts of stress. So as we consider His life we
can learn how to cope with stress in our life.
In Mathew Jesus tells us not to be anxious about our life, so in order for us to handle stress properly we must know "who we are" and "what we are." Paul in 1st Corinthians 15 vs.9 and 10 said " for I am the least of the apostles and in vs. 10 said, "but by the grace of God I am what I am". What you are in the positive sense is by the grace of God. How you look, what you do, your skills, your mentality, and your personality in the positive sense are all given to you by the grace of God. In John 8 vs. 14 Jesus said who He was and what He was given in a series of I am statements. In John 8 vs. 12 He said " I am the light of the world" In John 14 vs. 6 He said, "I am the way and the truth." In John 10 vs.11 he said, "I am the good shepherd and in John 10 vs. 36 " I am the Son of God. Christ knew who he was and what he was. Some said that He was Elijah some said he was John the Baptist who has come back to life. Some even said he was Beelzebub (the prince of the devils) but Jesus knew who he was and what he was. If we are going to be able to handle the stress in our life we must know who we are and what we are. If we don't know who we are or what we are we can be sure someone will try to tell who they think we are thereby we are made vulnerable to let other people manipulate us into being somebody we are not.
The second way to reduce stress in our life is to know whom we are trying to
please. Who are we trying to please? I will tell you one secret, and that is, we
cannot please everybody. About the time we get one group pleased, another group
gets mad at us. There are some people no matter what we do they will never be
pleased. Why? Because they are not even pleased with themselves. Do you know
that God does not even please everybody? Just look at Jesus, did He please
everybody? If he had they wouldn't have hung him on the cross. He did miracles
and they kept coming back, "I am not pleased, show me another miracle. Jesus
knew whom he was trying to please. He pleased the father, and the father said to
him "this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. When we don't know whom
we are trying to please we will constantly struggle and give in to three things:
Criticism -because we will be concerned with what others thinks about us.
Conflict- because when someone disagrees with us we feel threatened. But we
are instructed in Mathew 6 vs. 33 to seek ye first the kingdom of God And his
righteousness, then the other necessities of life will be added. We are to seek
to please God. When pleasing God becomes our focus, life is made simpler and we
will be doing the right thing that pleases God no matter what anybody else
Many times we blame other people for our stress. Have you ever said, "you
made me to" or " I have to?" No doubt what we really mean when we say this is we
are saying, "I choose to", because of the consequences if I don't. Seldom does
anybody makes us do anything. So we usually cannot blame someone else for our
stress. We get stressed out most often by allowing other people to put us under
pressure. We become victims when we allow ourselves to be pressured by other
peoples demands and expectations. But we've got to know whom we are trying to
Another way to keep stress out of our life is to know what we want to
accomplish. Even though we don't like to plan very well, but we need to know,
have some ideas, and what we want to accomplish. Jesus said in John8 vs.14 " I
know from where I came, and he said, " I know where I go." Where are you trying
to go? If we do not plan our life and set priorities, we will be pressured by
what other people think is important. We either decide what is important or we
will let other people tell us what is important in our life. Sometimes people
like to run and ruin other people's life, when they cannot even run there own.
Plan and prepare for what you want to accomplish. Just because we are very busy
doesn't mean we are productive. That dog chasing his tail is very busy. Good
planning and preparation reduces stress. So we should focus on doing one thing
at a time.
In Luke 4 vs. 43 Jesus said, " I must preach the kingdom of God. People tried
to get Jesus to detour, they tried to distract him, but he focused on one thing
at a time. It seems that everybody tried to interrupt Jesus. Everyone had plan
A. you ought to do this; you ought to do that, if I were you I would do this.
They have plan B, C, and D, but Jesus stayed focused on his agenda. He knew what
God had told him to do- preach the kingdom of God. When we try to do too much,
we become ineffective. Don't try to do it all by yourself. Remember Jesus called
twelve people to help him. They were called apostles. Jesus delegated his
authority on them to preach the gospel. Don't try to do everything by yourself.
Do you know why some people don't delegate others to help them? Why don't we get
other people involved? Two reasons why we don't like to delegate nor get others
involved are 1. Because of professionalism. This is an egotistical attitude. We
must allow other people to develop. Let them make some mistakes. We don not have
to make them all. Don't rob others of an education. 2. The other reason we don't
delegate is because of personal insecurity. What if I give somebody the
opportunity and they by chance do a better job? That is somewhat threatening to
us. We have to pray daily. Jesus constantly sought to be alone with the father
to pray. Make a habit of personal prayer. When we are young we can get up, and
do lots of things on our own. We can go under our own strength, but after a
while, we are going to need somebody else to help us. Make it a habit to pray
daily. Talk with God in prayer and tell him exactly what's on your mind. We
don't need to hide when we make a mistake. God already knows this. He just wants
us to come to him and talk to him.
Leave your problems with him. He said in Mathew 11, "come unto me. Come to
Christ in prayer all ye that labor. If you are heavy laden. Remember Jesus said,
" and I will give you rest he said, " take my yoke upon you and lean on me and I
will give you rest, for my yoke is easier, and my burden is light. He invites us
daily to come unto him.

Punta CarenaMappa
Guarded by Capri's lighthouse, bathed in sunshine from dawn 'til dusk.
Special offers
- 2, 3, or 4 Hour Gozzo Boat Tour of the Island (up to 7 passengers) € 160
- Transfer Naples-Capri by speedboat + car (max 8-10 passengers) € 729

Getting to the Punta Carena Lighthouse
- By bus: Take the Faro - Anacapri - Terminal route from Piazza della Pace (timetable)
- By foot: Take Via Nuova del Faro from the center of Anacapri for about a one hour walk
If you ask an islander to name his or her favorite beach on Capri, you will almost certainly hear "Il Faro", or the lighthouse.
In truth, Il Faro is not really a beach, but more a rocky bay where you can dive directly into the crystalline water. What locals love most about this beach is the imposing lighthouse dominating the point and the sun which shines on this cove from dawn to dusk.
The Punta Carena lighthouse is the second brightest in Italy (after Genoa) and one of the oldest, as it was first used in 1867.
If you walk slowly down the trafficked road which leads from the Caprile quarter of Anacapri, you can savor the views over the dramatic rocky coastline, lined with tiny coves and inlets, the lush Mediterranean flora, the pine grove along the bay, and the stone cliffs, home to the Caciocavallo Caves and topped by the imposing Torre della Guardia guard tower.
From Piazzetta di Pino just before arriving at the lighthouse, you can visit one of the main forts used to defend the island from invaders in the past, and enjoy the unforgettable view. There is a second fort at the base of the lighthouse, dating from the Second World War, from where you can see the Punta Carena bay and the island of Ischia in the distance.
The lighthouse is always relatively quiet and far from the lion's share of daytrippers, but the best time to appreciate its beauty is by far at dusk, when the sun sets over the water and the local fishermen begin to set out with their boats for night fishing. In summer, the two beach cafès often have live music in the evening.
