MALTA, Mont. The most dramatic feature of eastern Montanas prairie is a sea of grass fading into a blue sky that stretches from horizon to horizon.
But, for more than a century, whats given the land definition have been fences thousands of miles of barbed wire slicing across the prairie and pulled taut to keep in cattle.
Now on tens of thousands of acres of former ranchland those fences are being pulled down by a private conservation group funded by deep-pocketed philanthropists.
In the heart of Montanas cattle country, the American Prairie Reserve is assembling a wilderness preserve that could be larger than Connecticut and rival the Wests great national parks.
On Tuesday, the Bozeman-based group announced its biggest step yet toward that goal with the purchase of the 150,000-acre South Ranch from families with a century-long tie to the land.
The deal more than doubles the amount of public and private property under the reserves control just north of the C.M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge, about 60 miles from the Canadian border.
Scientists familiar with the initiative describe it as an unprecedented attempt to restore an often-overlooked ecosystem that supports hundreds of species of birds, mammals, plants and insects.
The end-game is the free flow of wildlife pronghorn antelope, predators and up to 10,000 bison across 3 million acres or more of public and private land, organizers said.
That will take years of coordination with state and federal officials and neighbors, they said.
I wouldnt just say as soon as we can were going to rip out all the fences, said Scott Laird, the reserves acquisition director. That will eventually, slowly, occur.
Some local ranchers see the groups plans as an assault on their way of life as families that stuck with the cattle business through generations of blizzard and drought are bought out.
They keep saying theyre saving it. But it already looks beautiful. Theyre not saving anything, said Vicki Olson, a reserve opponent and third-generation rancher.
Those critics lump the reserves goals with a contentious federal proposal to convert a vast swath of eastern Montana into a new national monument.
Its an idea that continues to stoke outrage in rural communities more than two years after U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar repudiated it under pressure from the states congressional delegation.
The private money behind the reserve is unencumbered by such politics.
Among the donors are John and Adrienne Mars, candy industry billionaires who have given at least $5 million of the $48 million the group has raised.
Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer said Tuesday that the South Ranch sale, the 13th ranch bought by the reserve since 2004, is, in the end, a business transaction.
And as long as the bison stay within the reserve, he said, its no different than cattle on a ranch.
For now, sellers Page Whitham Land and Cattle will continue ranching under a 12-year lease.
But much of an estimated 150 miles of fence that crisscrosses the century-old ranch will eventually come down if the reserve has its way.
Erected over generations to keep livestock in, the fences also break up habitat for native wildlife.
The South Ranch traces its history to a pair of Civil War veterans and professional bison hunters who moved into ranching after the animals were wiped out from the area.
Page Whitham general partner Steve Page said restrictions on public grazing and higher government fees combined with the prospect of a national monument made ranching on the land no longer viable.
The sellers concluded that traditional ranching operations in south Valley and south Phillips counties are in jeopardy of becoming history in the not-so-distant future, he said.
Page added that the decision was right for them, but may not be for others.
On the site of one of the reserves prior ranch purchases about 10 miles from the South Ranch, a herd of 240 bison now occupy a 14,000-acre pasture.
The animals travel at will among gently rolling hills of sage brush and short grasses broken by dry creek beds and the occasional watering hole.
Large colonies of prairie dogs loathed by many ranchers because their burrows pock pasture land also are re-establishing themselves.
Thats paving the way for a host of prairie dog-dependent species such as burrowing owls and, potentially, endangered black-footed ferrets.
During a recent tour, reserve foreman Damien Austin pointed out a pair of burly bull bison striding across the remnants of a dike that held water for livestock.
As a coyote on a nearby hilltop yelped at the bison, Austin explained that the dike was breached to restore the prairies natural flow of water. But the rest of the dike would probably be left in place.
The thing is, after a few hundred years of bison wallowing on them, theyll flatten out, Austin said. Weve got lots of time.

Otherworldly and Vaguely-Threatening
A couple months ago, I was asked by a longtime photographer collaborator friend of mine to pose for some thematic photographs. We had previously worked together in 2012 for a street art photo series, and last year for a typewriter-beach series, and it's always nice to work with someone who you're comfortable with and trust. I like to call this series, "I don't want to look pretty, I want to look otherworldly and vaguely-threatening," à la Sue Edworthy.
I'm not much of a model, if I'm being honest. I can't say I'm 100% comfortable being in front of a camera. Modelling, despite the hubris and vanity involved, also requires a large degree of vulnerability. I prefer to be vulnerable in my writing and leave everything I have out on the page, not on the stage. Even PP, whom I'm super comfortable with, noticed me squirming and scrunching up my face at the idea of revealing too much of myself. I didn't have that many inhibitions in my 20s, but now that I'm mid-30s, I'm just not interested in giving all of myself away. You want to see all of me? You gotta earn it.
I think these photographs are provocative, but also tasteful. That's also a balance I try to strike in my writing, so as a writer, I can live with these shots 😉
Also, I did all my own hair and makeup. I even put on the fake eyelashes myself! I think I'm ready for my Ph.D. in astrophysics now. Yeesh.
Make sure you follow Preacher_photography on Instagram. He has some super cool photo series in there where he works with actual models who know their shit, and not hacks like me, har har har.
Don't forget to check out the official Christine Estima dot com for all of my recent publications, performances…. annnnnnnd maybe a few photos.

The people of the books: the written word isn't going away anytime soon, and religion's effect on the publishing industry is part of the reason.
Over the past decade, the number of new titles coming out from U.S. book publishers has increased 50.8 percent, an unheard of rate of growth for an industry notorious only a few years ago for its turtle-like deliberateness. In 2003 alone, the industry's output of new titles and editions grew by 19 percent over that of 2002, and every indicator points to another record year in 2004. For most of this decade-plus of record growth, religion ion has been the fastest-growing segment of trade publishing in the country, ceding place only once or twice to children's publishing.
Religion publishing's unprecedented growth was initially a reflection of circumstances having more to do with religion itself than with publishing. For a number of cultural, political, and social reasons that came up out of the 1960s and deeply affected the late "80s and the early '90s, Americans' inquiries about spiritual matters began to take place less and less frequently in pastors' studies and more and more often in the quiet back corners where most bookstores shelved their religion titles in those days. Conversations about God likewise slipped from being theology to being God-talk and, shortly thereafter, to god-talk, just as they drifted from being the purview of the seminary to being the stuff of earnest, water-cooler preoccupations.
America was rediscovering the sacred; yet ironically it was finding the accouterments of renewed faith not in formal religion, but in a kind of generic or nondoctrinal spirituality, especially in the kind a seeker could read about in books, investigate on the Internet, and discuss in small groups. As books, the Internet, and the small-group phenomenon began increasingly to cross-reference and excite each other, theology became democratized, and the book enjoyed pride of place as a means for pursuing the care and feeding of one's soul. That trend continues, though it has been tempered a bit and has taken on different and more varied modes, emphases, and purposes since.
PERHAPS THE MOST remarkable shift happened during the mid- to late-'90s, when god-talk gradually morphed from being primarily a subject for didactic or studied investigation to being one susceptible as well to an entertainment or fictional approach. Most industry observers cite Della Reese's Touched By An Angel, launched in 1995, as the first firm evidence that a shift to entertainment theology was in full swing. Reese's Angel established as well the commanding place of' prime-time commercial television in popular spirituality and general religion. That movement toward entertainment theology was, by decade's end, to extend into cinema, where movies such as The Truman Show, Dogma, Magnolia, and American Beauty led straight to The Matrix, perhaps the century's most compelling piece, at a popular level, of pure theology. No longer able to claim pride of place, the book became instead first l among equals in the country's religious conversations.
But book publishers are smart people, and their shift to accommodate a shifting public was so seamless as to be almost unremarked at first. In the mid-'90s, both religion and general trade houses quietly began to emphasize story-telling titles within their religion and spirituality programs. As a result, a category of religion publishing that has never had a completely adequate or comfortable name for itself mushroomed. Whether one calls it Inspirational Fiction, or Faith Fiction, or I Religious Fiction, or by its sectarian names of Jewish Fiction or New Age Fiction or Christian Fiction or any other of several possible titles, the operative fact is that the genre ran like the proverbial wildfire through prairie grass. The most visible proof text for this was, of course, the Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye Left Behind series that has sold more than 60 million copies to date and topped the national best-seller lists for two years.
Currently it is Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code (which managed to bump Jenkins-LaHaye out of the top slots) that testifies to the lusty good health of religion fiction. It testifies as well to two other characteristics of today's market. First, unlike the Left Behind books, which were published by a religion publisher, Tyndale House, The Da Vinci Code was published by Doubleday, a commercial house. The "crossing over," as it is called in the trade, of large commercial houses into the religion market and, conversely, of religion houses like Tyndale into the traditionally secular market has changed the face not only of American publishing, but also that of book retailing in this country.
Because of the apparently insatiable demand for books about religious and spiritual matters, big box retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target, discount retailers such as Sam's Club and Costco, and gargantuan e-tailers such as Amazon have become major accounts for both religion houses and the religion divisions of general trade publishers. They have also, in effect, become outlets of choice for hundreds of sectarian books such as the phenomenally successful The Purpose-Driven Life or, a bit earlier, Bruce Wilkinson's The Prayer of Jabez, books that 10 years ago would have been essentially limited to sectarian bookshops as the principal means of accessing readers. Nothing succeeds like success, of course, and as the secular audience for religion books has grown, so has secular access to them; and as access has broadened, so has the audience. The result of this upward spiral has been a blurring of the lines in religion publishing between the commercial and the pastoral and/or missional as the prime consideration in acquisition and marketing just as, paradoxically, it has also produced a dramatic decrease in the number of independent religion bookstores in this country.
The Da Vinci Code exemplifies as well something that is perhaps the most pervasive motif in popular religion at the moment across all media, namely medievalism. Or to give it a more judicious label, pseudo- or quasi- or neo-medievalism. It is as if in these" post-Enlightenment, postmodern, post-denominational days, the country searches again for mystery. And the last place we can remember hearing of folk who engaged it--folk who heard holy voices that had no human origin, who entertained visions that had no physical explanation, who walked in thin places and saw out of the corner of the eye--those folk and those holy things happened before the Reformation and the Age of Reason. Those things happened in the Middle Ages, and so we go looking for the stories of them as if for a way to re-enter the Mystery to which they bear witness.
Thus we find ourselves awash at a popular level in the neo-medievalism not only of Brown's Da Vinci Code, but also of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ or, for that matter, of The Lord of the Rings trilogy or of Harry Potter and his wonder-soaked adventures or of Joan of Arcadia, whose very name resonates with the history it seeks to revisit. And the list goes on: the Philip Pullman His Dark Materials trilogy, the popularity of Taize worship, and the presence of monks and chants in ads selling everything from colas to cell phones. Even The Matrix fits squarely within this present motif, but it speaks to another as well.
The Matrix began life not as a work of cinema, but as a graphic novel. At the time the Wachowski brothers were originally working out their brilliant romp through all of Western intellectual history, they were experts in pen and ink, brush and pencil. The only difficulty was that a decade ago the graphic novel was simply not part of the literary landscape for most adult readers. Perhaps the most dramatic change in religion publishing--or certainly one of the most consequential in terms of the long haul--has been the bursting forth of the graphic novel into rampant popular acceptance and critical credibility.
Combining the current aesthetics of visual image with the more modernist one of verbal art, the graphic novel has arrived at an integration of the two that frequently packs a wallop far more profound and subtle than either the icon or the word alone could deliver. And by its own history, the graphic novel is inextricably tied to the struggle between good and evil or, bluntly put, to religion. One has only to look at the work of Neff Gaiman to appreciate the depth of theology being probed here, or Osamu Tezuka's eight-volume Buddha, or the Jewish Publication Society's Jews In America, now in its fifth printing, to perceive the breadth of what can be conveyed here.
There is another face to medievalism, of course, and that is the gradual, but now blossoming, return to more ancient ways of devotion and to the notion of spiritual discipline as a necessary part of religious maturity. And it is here that the book continues to hold primacy of place. Titles about lay monasticism, Ignatian or Benedictine spirituality, fixed-hour prayer, the observation of Sabbath as holy time, the practice of fasting--such rifles as these continue to grow in number and market share. They are also, by definition, the province of the book, for they require a repetitive access and a gentle engagement not natural to either the Internet or the cinema.
As generic spirituality continues to mature into more doctrinally specific spirituality, however, and as organized religion continues to dance back and forth between ecumenism and sectarian triumphalism, and as knowledge of other ways of being continues to become more generally accessible, religion publishing will also find itself--indeed, already is finding itself--in the position of having to produce popular books on ever-weightier subjects such as the theology of religion or the role of consciousness in human faith and moral responsibility. This kind of thought-heavy work does not thrive in isolation; instead, it demands conversation for assessment and elucidation. And here the Net and publishers' shrewd use of the blogs and chat rooms it provides are already birthing a whole new conceptualization of religion publishing as a more open-ended process, one in which publisher involvement with a volume does not reach its natural conclusion with the deployment of books to retailing outlets, but rather continues to appertain through the ongoing engagement of a book's content.
How much melding of media we will see in the near future of religion publishing, or what the repercussions of such cross-fertilization will be for the various media involved, no one knows. Everyone is very clear, however, about the fact that in religion at least, the book is here to stay for as long as the imagination can imagine or the heart, as well as the mind, can long for instruction.

Advisors can now have mobile access to their clients' WealthStation financial planning reports, says SunGard, with the launch of its new WealthStation Mobile Report Access. The new app, which is also available on mobile tablets, facilitates increased collaboration and effectiveness of client meetings.
According to SunGard, the app helps support advisors' financial planning and advice process outside of the office and gives advisors mobile access to their clients' WealthStation financial planning reports wherever they are.
"SunGard is helping advisors provide a more dynamic client experience with mobile solutions that offer greater transparency and engagement," said Jennifer Valdez in a statement. Valdez, senior vice president, product management and strategic design for SunGard's wealth management business, added, "WealthStation Mobile Report Access provides advisors with tools to make the most of their client meetings and transform their client interactions, gain their confidence and establish a solid foundation to help client and revenue growth and retention."
A February Forrester Research report titled The Top Five Trends In Digital Wealth Management For 2012 indicated that 75% of the world's population connects to information through mobile devices. In a statement, Bill Doyle, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research, said, "For firms, the mobile Internet presents a watershed opportunity to create more continuous relationships with their clients."
While most advisors prepare for client meetings with a presentation package of paper-based reports, which must be printed, collated and then transported to the client site, Mobile Report Access helps advisors by reducing the need to print and carry reports, and can also cut associated resource and printing costs.
Security is enhanced as well, since client data is not resident on the device but is accessible to advisors even at in-person offsite meetings with clients. Advisors can access data to show clients prepared scenarios, discuss their analysis of financial topics and attend to other relevant planning issues.

Ministry of Defence said:The Foreign Secretary, William Hague, has been in the Malian capital, Bamako, today for a series of meetings focused on efforts to restore security and longer-term stability to Mali and to tackle the evolving threat of terrorism in the region. During his visit, the first by a Foreign Secretary to Mali, the Foreign Secretary underlined the UK's commitment to continuing international efforts to support progress in Mali which should help reduce the threat of instability in other parts of North and West Africa which face similar challenges.
The Foreign Secretary reaffirmed the UK's support to Mali in meetings with President Traore and Prime Minister Cissoko. They discussed the latest developments in Mali, including the Government's plans to implement its political roadmap to elections and a return to full democracy. They also discussed the need for a more inclusive political process, which was underlined during the Foreign Secretary's meeting with members of the Tuareg community.
The Foreign Secretary received an update on military progress when he met the Nigerian commander of the African-led International Support Mission to Mali (AFISMA). Earlier in the day, he met African troops from AFISMA as well as members of the UK military team supporting the C17 transport plane which has facilitated the deployment of French and African forces to Mali.
Speaking during his visit, the Foreign Secretary said:
I am pleased to be visiting Mali at this important time. The evolving threat from terrorist groups in Mali has necessitated a urgent international response to help the Malians restore their territorial integrity and deny terrorists a safe haven in their country. I welcome the progress made by French, Malian and African military forces in the north of Mali. The UK will continue to support this tough security response, including through the EU Training Mission.
To ensure long-term stability, it is clear there needs to be a more inclusive political process in Mali as well as work to address longer-term development needs of Mali's people. In my meetings today, I welcomed the Malian Government's agreement of the political roadmap towards elections and a transition to full democratic rule. I promised that the UK would work with partners in the region, the UN and the EU, to help Mali establish effective arrangements for the elections. I encouraged the Malian Government to take forward the critical task of political reconciliation with legitimate groups in the north. Progress on reconciliation will be vital for lasting stability in Mali. The UK will also of course continue to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Mali and the region.[h=3]Further Information[/h]The first visit to Mali by a British Foreign Secretary

Your aging parent missed an appointment or a special occasion. Maybe he or she forgets words occasionally or is starting to need more rides to the doctor.
These may be small signs that show their age — and often we chalk these up to isolated incidents or "senior moments" that aren't serious enough to make us consider whether our loved one may need some help.
Unfortunately, senior life care is often something that we put off thinking about until our loved one's condition has deteriorated past the point where he or she is living as comfortably, happily and safely as possible.
But the ramifications of waiting can be serious and costly. There's too much risk to not ensure your loved one's safety. Even if you're around to get your mom or dad emergency medical assistance, the real challenge begins after discharge.
Because sadly, one in five Americans on Medicare winds up back in the hospital within 30 days of discharge, reports the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
It's just the reality – without a trained professional's expertise, most of us simply do not know the common pitfalls for aging loved ones who want to remain in their home.
It's inevitable your loved one will need help as they age — and there are major benefits to thinking about it earlier, rather than waiting until the need is dire.
Here are five reasons why bringing in a professional caregiver early can help:
As people get older, deterioration in motor skills is likely and it can have a big impact on a senior's general health.
The sooner a caregiver begins care, the more equipped the person is to spot changes in his or her behavior — changes that may signal the need for more care or even medical intervention.
For example, consider dementia and its types. There are small signs of dementia that may be hard to spot, but catching these signs early can make a difference to possible treatments, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
As your loved one's motor skills decline, important parts of the routine can become more difficult, like dressing or preparing meals.
The American Geriatric Society points out that this can also make taking prescribed medication difficult, as pills may be small and hard to handle.
Missed doses of medication could lead to health issues worsening. Mobility issues can lead to falls around the home. Having a professional care provider check on your mom or dad's home for potential problem areas, such as high steps, could give you time to solve the issue before mobility worsens.
While medical and safety issues are obviously important, it is equally important that seniors are comfortable and happy.
Perhaps your loved one is OK with medication and mobility right now, but many of his or her friends are no longer around or are in worse health and can no longer meet up for visits or outings. And even if your loved one has family visits two or three days a week, the person still spends most the time alone.
An estimated 20 percent of adults older than age 65 have experienced depression, according to the Geriatric Mental Health Foundation. Depression is not a normal part of aging.
Social isolation and loneliness of the elderly is a problem that can impair mental performance, affect the immune system and increase health risks.
A professional caregiver can provide the companionship your loved one unknowingly longs to have, whether it's helping your loved one cook again, going to a yoga class together or enjoying a cup of coffee together on the back porch.
Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries among adults over the age of 67, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Furthermore, one-fourth of Americans over 65 fall every year, and older adults are treated in the ER for a fall every 11 seconds (800,000 hospitalizations each year).
If no one in your family is properly trained to fall-proof your loved one's home, then delaying help becomes a risk.
A professional care coordinator can conduct an in-home assessment to spot the safety risks that you may not recognize yourself.
It's inevitable that aging comes with the need for care —transportation to the doctor, help walking to the bathroom or assistance getting dressed or bathed.
Most conditions will only become worse as time goes on.
Over 34 million Americans are providing unpaid care to a senior every year. It can negatively affect a family caregiver's health and well-being, and lead to lost hours at work, resulting in caregiver burnout.
It's never too soon to build a relationship with a caregiver who you can trust around your loved one.

From�the driver�s seat of his 53-foot, 18-wheel trailer, Al Hartz can�t help but notice New York Yankees fans. "They give me the thumbs down sign," says Hartz.
Gee, just because the side of the truck has a Red Sox logo that reads "On The Road to Greatness."
Hartz, 55, is used to this. He's been hauling the now-famous Red Sox� equipment truck from Fenway Park to the team�s Florida spring training site since 1998. A Framingham North High School graduate and Milford resident, Hartz works for the Holliston-based New England Household Moving and Storage company.
Hartz arrived at Jet Blue Park in Fort Myers Wednesday morning. "It�s my favorite job of the year. Most of the time I�m delivering pianos and refrigerators." His normal delivery route takes him up and down the East Coast and Midwest.
"Al makes the (Red Sox) trip by himself," says his boss, Holliston resident Kevin Carson. "He says �there�s only one steering wheel.�"
Hartz says two guys making the 24-hour drive might "wind up killing each other.� I�ve got my radio, my music. Oldies, a little country."
The truck leaving Fenway has become part of Red Sox lore. "I was excited to drive it the first time, but I wasn�t sure what I was getting into," Hartz says. "There were TV trucks and reporters. It took me by surprise. It�s gotten bigger and bigger every year."
So big that Hartz occasionally gets recognized. "People say �didn�t I see you on the news?�"
He was floored when he was asked for his autograph recently. "I didn�t think he was serious. I felt a little silly." He signed. "I�m always surprised to see people come out to see a truck being loaded."
On the trip down, people in vehicles or bystanders will "notice the truck and take pictures with their cell phone," Hartz says.
Once Red Sox management saw how loading the truck attracted people, it jumped on board to make it an event, a Boston tradition, an unofficial first sign of spring.
"It�s about the fans," says Carson. "When we first started doing this there was no fanfare whatsoever."
When the fans and media grew in number "we said �we�ve got everything but a marching band here,�" says Carson. "This year, we did have a band. I think it was from BU."
The truck is loaded with everything from Red Sox staff members� computers to their golf bags. "Yeah, some baseballs, too," says Carson.
Hartz estimates that only "one-third of the load is baseball equipment. There�s a small army of (Red Sox personnel) down here for eight weeks. We bring down all they need to live on."
When spring training ends, it takes two trucks to get everything back to Boston because the players� belongings and equipment are included.
Once he arrives at Jet Blue Park it�s all business for Hartz. When he�s done, he�ll sneak a peek at what�s happening on the field. "I�m wandering around right now and there are players all over the place," Hartz said Wednesday morning after the truck had been unloaded.
He takes it all in, how this job has become yet another Red Sox tradition, and it has�allowed a bit of stardust to fall on the man and his truck. Al Hartz embraces it. "I�m the mover that gets to move the Red Sox."
Good gig. Beats carrying pianos on his back.

Reasons Behind I Never Witnessed a Domestic Cricket Match in Pakistan
August 11, 2019 at 11:51 amCategory:Cricket | Sports
Cricket, in Pakistan, is one of the most enjoyed issue to be discussed possibly it be via web-based networking media, papers, media channels or even get up to speed social occasions, in families and companions. There are fans from each side of the nation, that help and acknowledge cricket happenings in Pakistan. This aides in slanting the advancement of the game both as in residential and at global level. In the previous couple of years, there hasn't been any universal match played in my nation because of the Srilankan cricket group assault that occurred in the year 2009. The occurrence cleared out the way of global cricket groups towards Pakistan. Be that as it may, this severely influenced the status of cricket for our nation. Since, the occurrence occurred and universal cricket groups weren't permitted to heat up the grounds and pitches of various urban areas of Pakistan, that previously had filled in as the inception of numerous records in the game, Pakistani cricket relapsed and decelerated with a negative incline on the chart.
As worldwide cricket destroyed in Pakistan, many cricket fans were losing their enthusiasm for cricket as the grounds of huge urban areas like, Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi were turning pointless and mediocre. The Pakistan cricket board at that point chose to sort out local competitions consistently to prop the progression of cricket up on in the nation. These household competitions gave a stage to numerous youthful and multitalented players as they began getting an opportunity to demonstrate their aptitudes and capacities. The household cricket of Pakistan accordingly was currently getting pace of recapturing the enthusiasm of Pakistani cricket fans inside the nation. The primary residential competitions that were made piece of Pakistan Cricket board (PCB) included:
Pakistan Super League
Quaid-e-Azam Trophy
Pentangular Trophy
National One-day Championship
Faysal Bank T20 Cup
Supporter's Trophy
Pakistan Cup
I, as a "young lady" cricket fan, have been following cricket since the most recent six years. Being a Pakistani nationalist, I have consistently filled in as a profound heart admirer of Pakistan cricket group. I attempt to keep myself reveled with the happenings of cricket particularly inside Pakistan.
As universal cricket isn't going all out inside our nation, I have consistently pondered to observe household matches live in the ground. In any case, there are numerous reasons that prevent me to venture towards cricket grounds. The reasons may appear to be not all that diverse as a few others in our general public in any case, they ought to be given a prompt lookover to be dealt with.
NO PROPER ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS. There are no appropriate mindfulness programs that grips the interests of group of spectators and Pakistani cricket fans towards household crickets. There are a few competitions that come and abandon the watchers being thought about their happenings. This occurs because of absence of advertising and association between the administration and crowd. There is no satisfactory foundation worked to advance residential cricket seasons among the general population.
As of late, Ramadan cricket competition was organized in June 2017 in Karachi. I saw a couple of trailers on TV about it. Jazz t20 sixth corporate cup was held at Moin Khan Cricket Academy while, Naya Nazimabad cup was held at Lawai Stadium, Naya Nazimabad. I inquired as to whether I could proceed to observe every one of the matches in the ground with my college companions since, it has been over my desire plan for the day. The principal thing that she said to me was,
"Arijah! Young ladies don't go in the grounds, I have never observed any young lady visiting ground to observe residential matches and don't you know how hazardous is the region of Naya Nazimabad. I could never enable you to go. On the off chance that you need to watch, you can watch it on TV."
My mom's announcement dispirited me in all respects profoundly and caused me to understand that how these negative variables are contributing in declining of games for little youngsters and ladies, particularly in our nation.
Safety efforts. We live in a universal society where it is exceptionally uncommon for a female to venture out of her home in any capacity whatsoever. So how is it feasible for a female to venture in the ground to make the most of her preferred game. This demonstration is considered as a Taboo in our general public. I, as a female cricket fan, can never go to arenas and grounds, alone or even with my female companions as a result of its Taboo nature. In the event that I do as such, there will be group of spectators that will begin looking once again me and my female companions. They will begin remarking and talking about once again us. In any case, this will truly drive me not to visit any ground any longer. There are no different fenced in areas for females where they should have a sense of safety. There are no appropriate plans made to serve the female watchers of cricket.
All the more accurately, in the present timespan, I have seen numerous young ladies willing to serve for their nation in cricket. In addition, they need appropriate courses of action of safety efforts, opportunity stages, to push ahead and assume their job. Due to being a young lady, I have cut-off numerous desires from my desire plan for the day in view of the reasons determined previously. Be that as it may, the reasons ought to be mulled over and ought to be abrogated so as to give a protected and secure stage for the females of our nation. So they may create results eagerly for the advancement of our games.

What's your favorite tool for app prototyping?
I'm kicking off a new project (so exciting; can't wait to tell you more), and we need to make interactive iPad prototypes to test ideas. What tool(s) do you find effective for such work?
New Dreamweaver features for Creative Cloud members; demo/Q&A Friday
Check it:
Dreamweaver CS6 just released a major update via our Creative Cloud. Learn about the enhanced HTML5 support for Forms and Semantic tags, integration with Edge Animate, and the ability to easily insert HTML audio and video into projects. Plus, meet our new DW Product Manager, Alejandro Gutierrez. Bring your Dreamweaver questions! Join us Friday (10/5 at 12 pm PT).
Here's a taste of the new functionality in action:
"A Presentation App That Forces You To Tell Better Stories"
Haiku Deck takes an interesting editorial approach—refusing to support bullet-point lists & instead emphasizing imagery that it helps you find. According to Fast Company,
Using [Haiku Deck] is fiendishly simple: You enter a few keywords of text onto a slide, and the app searches a database of over 35 million Creative Commons images that suit your subject… Finding that compelling image for you, Tratt says, is one of Haiku Deck's key achievements. "People spend a ton of time doing this manually … so we thought we could really delight our users if we made the process just happen automagically, and then embed the Creative Commons attribution right in the deck."
After you pick your image, your text is automatically formatted nice and big to fill the screen. A handful of themes offer quick ways to customize your fonts and apply photo filters throughout.

Pretty standard. Nice, but not wow.
And here it is After:
WOW! I love the white cabinets. They painted the top a creamy white and the bottoms grey. I probably would have done them all white...but it's not mine, is it!?
Gave it a great new backsplash. And just changed the drawer pulls. All the other knobs were already great. But the new drawer pulls do add a lot, don't they?
My favorite part is this sink area, though. I LOVE those huge corbels~ They look so great there. And the plant is adorable. I also love the bowls for the scrubber and cloths. It makes them look elegant! I need to do that. Anyway, great renovation!! Check the link at the top out for more detailed pics and descriptions of what they did.

Thanksgiving is supposed to be all warm and fuzzy, but sometimes, it's just less than. Family fights, vying with your siblings for first dibs on leftovers, trying to explain to Grandma that it's okay that you and your man are living together out of wedlock...it can all be a bit stressful. Luckily, in these difficult times (and all the others that will inevitably arise before 2013 rolls around) there's a website to fix what ails you by reminding you that you're the best.
It's called Emergency Compliment, and it really should only be used in case of emergencies. Because you don't want to get a big head, do you? But when the going gets tough, this is just the quick, easy perk-up you need to get your spirits back in the happy place where they belong.
Of course, we wouldn't want you to waste your entire holiday break on this addictive site...so we've compiled a few of the compliments that really warmed our tired little hearts, for your convenience and enjoyment. Oh, and if you really like the good news it throws your way, you can have it made into a print for your wall (just press "Thanks! I feel better.") Chin up, friends!

Today, it's not only enough to hold a press conference to announce your election plans, as candidates discover – you've got to tweet it too!
Gov. Corbett kicked off his re-election bid Wednesday with a live event, and he tweeted that decision too simultaneously
"I am running for Governor of Pennsylvania!" — Governor Tom Corbett #pagov
— Tom Corbett (@CorbettforGov) November 6, 2013
This is a far time from the earlier days of election announcements, when candidates had to wait until the next day's paper or until a post on a website could confirm their campaign.
Now, it's instantaneous.
I would watch for more and more of this as time goes by.

Ty Keough
Monday June 25, 2012
He grew up in America's first great soccer hotbed, qualified for the 1980 Olympics as a player, played in the heyday of the NASL, and was the voice of four World Cups for American fans.
Ty Keough grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, which was one of the first soccer towns in the United States. He had the good fortune of having the legendary Harry Keough as his father, which combined with the St. Louis soccer world, helped to cultivate Keough into a unique individual in the American soccer world.
"Other than having a very accomplished player as a dad, the environment here in St Louis is rather unique. Much of St. Louis' population arrived in the early 1900s and a lot of them were Irish, Italians and Germans. Many of them were Catholics, so most of the Catholic schools didn't have a lot of money for football helmets or gymnasiums so all the kids played soccer in the fall and winter and basically played baseball in the spring and summer."
Being in this environment, surrounded by immigrants from soccer-loving nations meant that there were many players, which in turn meant there were numerous teams and games throughout the year. Keough feels that this is one of the aspects about living in St. Louis that set the area apart from others in the country.
"I think it's somewhat unique in the United States that you had a large pool of young people playing a lot of soccer at least six months of the year. Even up in New England there were some soccer hotbeds, [but] it was more of a three month seasonal sport for soccer, so we had that advantage."
"I can remember in my formative years, I went to 60 or 70 competitive matches per year. That gave us a huge edge I think over American soccer players, young soccer players for the rest of the year."
In addition to playing so many games a year with the various teams that he played on season-to-season, Keough also had an advantage that not many other Americans had up to that point, or even beyond that point. His mother, a native of Guadalajara, Mexico, opened the door for Keough to travel on vacation to Mexico in the summer. Once there, he had the opportunity to play in Chivas Guadalajara's fabled youth academy.
"We would go to Guadalajara every other summer for an extended period, you know, three, four, five weeks. I would get to see professional soccer, which really wasn't available to any significant degree in the United States, it wasn't really on television. I got to see a lot of games, I would train two or three times a week for the time I was in Guadalajara, with the academy team. I was 12... 13... 14 years old it was just something fun to do."
Not just fun, however. It perhaps served as a stepping stone to bigger things, giving him a look at the kind of soccer that he would need to strive for to achieve success as an adult.
"It gave me a glimpse of the technical aspect of training that I think were more advanced in Mexico at that time, for sure. Just getting wrapped up in a culture where soccer meant a lot more in total than it did here in the US. When you go to Mexico, that's the sport - it doesn't have to compete with football, basketball, baseball and so forth."
As a testament to his unique development as a player through his teens, Keough was a hot commodity when he reached the point of going to college, with offers coming from several powerful programs around the country. It was an easy decision to stay home though, not just because his father coached the St. Louis University team, but once again because of the environment that St. Louis offered as a soccer city.
"I had the opportunity to go just about anywhere I wanted to on a soccer scholarship, I chose St. Louis - not only because my dad was coaching the St. Louis University team and they had the tremendous pedigree of having won 10 NCAA championships - but I thought it through very hard because there were some other opportunities. But the fact is, I decided that if I wanted to play professionally or if I wanted to be a part of the Olympic or national team, I needed to play in a city where there was year-round soccer."
"So when the NCAA season was over here in St. Louis, we had a league, it was amateur or semi-pro, whatever you want to call it, but it was filled with ex-professionals, ex-Olympic team players, ex-national team players, top college players and so forth. In terms of player development and being a part of that Olympic team, St. Louis was the place to be."
One of Keough's lifelong dreams was to represent the United States in the Olympics, same as his father did when he captained the team in the 1952 and '56 Olympics. Eager to follow in his father's footsteps, it seemed as though it was a certainty as the US beat Costa Rica to qualify for the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. Politics, however, would end the dream as President Jimmy Carter boycotted the Moscow games in response to the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan.
"It was surreal. We had beaten Costa Rica in their national stadium in front of about 60,000 people to put ourselves through. I had dreamt of it my entire life since my father had been the captain of the '52 and '56 US Olympic soccer teams. I was already in my second season in the NASL with the San Diego Sockers, and it would have meant leaving my team in the NASL for an extended period."
"I guess it could have jeopardized my starting position with the San Diego team, but yeah, it was obviously a dream, a hope that was dashed by things totally outside of our control. Frustrating, some bitterness involved. No one argued that the plight of the Afghan people was horrible in terms of what the Soviets had done, marching in there with their tanks and so forth. I didn't see what impact personally the US not going to the Moscow Olympics was really going to have in that regard."
After the letdown of the U-23 team failing to qualify for the London Olympics this summer, Keough believes that it was a combination of a failing MLS system and young stars being coddled through their youth development, taking away responsibility and the mental fortitude that it takes to succeed in difficult situations.
"Here's what I suspect. Obviously I'm not close enough to it to really know, but a couple of issues - one, in Major League Soccer, I think it's becoming a problem similar to what happened back in the NASL years, not enough young US players on their own MLS teams are in a position of leadership in the team or are considered to be pivotal players on their team, players that have to take charge when the chips are down."
"Too many foreign players, I think, in MLS are taking on those roles, and when younger American players are put in that role like in an Olympic qualifier, they're not quite prepared for it- these guys had been somewhat coddled coming up through the youth system and so forth. When it comes down to situations, again when the chips are down, and you've got to scratch and claw a little bit, or someone has to step up - it seems like those elements were missing."
Being a standout American player, finding success on the collegiate, professional and eventually international stage, Keough could have taken his talents abroad, especially after participating in a youth in Scotland at the age of 16. Playing among and against teams from Europe allowed him to test his mettle, and realize that he had what it takes to make a career of his passion. However, he found that the best place to do was at home, rather than overseas.
"People have asked me, 'Why didn't you go play in Mexico or try to play in Europe?' We were pretty fortunate; two things happened when I was coming out of college. One, the NASL was kind of in its heyday, with Pele, Beckenbuaer, Cruff, George Best, Carlos Alberto. I got to play against all those guys, so there was a decent level of competition and a great experience here in the NASL. The other thing that happened was that the indoor league started and paid more money than the NASL for several years there."
"Many of us were able to play MISL, the indoor league in the winters, and NASL in the summer, and probably were making as much or more money playing in the US than we could have if we went overseas. European leagues really weren't paying big money back then, except for a goal scorer or something like that. I can't speculate, I think I might have been good enough to make a couple of overseas teams but there was no reason to. There was good opportunity here to play with the big names in the NASL and pick up extra money in the winters in the indoor leagues."
As we move into the midst of World Cup Qualifiers for Brazil, Keough believes that the United States can and should qualify, but points to the U-23 team's failure to qualify out of an easy group for the Olympics as an example of what can go wrong. Nevertheless, he is optimistic about the team's future.
"Well, it's never easy. Playing qualifiers on the road with so much at stake, it takes a certain sort of preparation, a special sort of mentality to be able to go in - obviously you take pride in your jersey, that you're playing for your country and be able to put side all the distractions of everything going on, say with your club team, or with your agent, or with your sponsorships or so forth - it's more a mentality, your ability to focus, and that's Klinsmann's job, to get his players all on the same page. The US should qualify, but there's never any guarantees, like the Olympic Team a few months ago."
To finish things off, Keough noted the evolution of not just the US National Team over the years, but soccer in general.
"I have attended in person seven World Cups. If you watch the development of the sport in general - I was fortunate enough in 1970 as a 13-year old to attend in person each of Brazil's six games with that legendary team, and that was more a collection, a beautiful collection of artists."
"The game has become more mechanized, more collective, more consistent - you don't see quite as many players able to exhibit that kind of artistry. So with the US team, as the sport has developed as the US has reached a higher level, [they are] able to compete worldwide."

The Early Worm Gets the Fish
July is here, and with it the heat waves that inevitably mark summer on the Chesapeake. Ninety-plus degrees with a blazing-hot sun will slow the fish. Even if it doesn't, that sun can make being on the water after high noon uncomfortable if not unhealthy.
The solution is painful, at least for me. We have to get up early. It's the dawn bite this time of year that pays off. The air and surface water will still be cool, the fish will be hungry, and your favorite spot will be void of boat traffic, at least for a few more hours.
The first blush of daylight begins at about 5am these days, so you've got to be out of the rack at 4am to be on site at first light.
Dodging the sun's blast furnace with late afternoon starts won't work this month nor the next. Fishing toward sundown involves flirting with low light that can disguise rapidly forming summer storm cells. It is courting danger. For the next month or so, if you want a full day on the water it's got to start early.
Plan Ahead
Pre-dawn starts bring other problems besides the pain of a zero dark 30 rising. Very few bait shops open that early.
The surest way to be ready is getting your bait, food, water and ice the night before. Your vehicle and boat should also be fully prepped, gassed and ready to go.
Always double-check the weather conditions before leaving. You'll be traveling and launching in the dark, so there will be few visual clues as to approaching or changing weather fronts.
Have a Plan B before you launch. Arriving on location at 5am, you could discover that the tides are not making up, the fish have vacated the area or the winds are not conforming to forecasts. Be ready to adapt.
Have alternate locations identified. If the wind is coming from the wrong direction or is blowing too strong, know which nearby areas have a lee or which nearby rivers may offer a better lineup of current and breeze.
Think through and jot down the alternate sites the night before, plus the tides and currents at those areas. Smartphones and iPhones with tide and map apps can be very helpful.
If you're planning on live-lining and suddenly can't catch suitably sized Norfolk spot, do not waste the morning searching for them. Try using perch instead, bring some fresh menhaden as backup or have the tackle for deep jigging. The bite, this time of year, will not get any better than that at first light.
You've got to be ready when the fish are.

Tigers dealing with mixed emotions regarding Peralta
CLEVELAND -- Tigers players and officials might have spoken a thousand words about suspended teammate Jhonny Peralta on Saturday. The few words that came up most often were the first words out of team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski's mouth when he addressed the media about it at Progressive Field.
"It's very mixed emotions, mixed feelings," Dombrowski said.
Many players agreed. For those that didn't say it, the tone of their voice made it evident.
"No, no," second baseman Omar Infante said when asked if he feels differently about his teammate, "I don't know, man. I don't know what to say."
Some didn't say anything. Manager Jim Leyland relayed a message before his pregame session that he wouldn't answer questions about Peralta. When asked for his reaction just over a minute into the session, he cut off the question and broke off the interview.
"See you later," Leyland said. "That's the end of the press conference."
Like a growing number of players around baseball, many Tigers want the game to be clean. This is a team with several superstars, and many are tired of the questions that come up with so many superstar performances. They've watched standout players on other teams suspended and felt angry, indignant.
This is one of their own. Peralta was one of the more popular players on the team, a quiet, steady performer who made two All-Star teams in the last three years while enduring criticism about his play at shortstop.
The way Peralta carried himself, it was hard not to like him. Now, the way his situation came down, it was hard not to feel at least something of the opposite.
"Sometimes, people make bad decisions," Torii Hunter said. "He's a great teammate. We love him. He's funny, very funny. But I hate that this has happened, and he's going to deal with it."
Justin Verlander cited Hunter's reaction in his sentiment.
"Everybody looks at their own lives," Verlander said. "You can look back at it and you made a mistake. He's my brother. We fight and bleed and sweat together on the baseball field. If my brother makes a mistake, and especially if he owns up to it and serves the time, I don't see how you can hold a grudge or anything like that."
As mixed as the sentiments were Monday, they might actually be more conflicted in September, as Peralta's suspension nears its final days. Part of the timing for Major League Baseball's discipline, part of the motivation for not appealing, was the chance to have everything over by season's end, and for suspended players to be available for postseason play.
In Peralta's case, he'll be eligible to return for the final series of the regular season. Ironically, it'll be in Miami, the center of the Biogenesis scandal. If Peralta's role in the case seems murky, it's clear compared to his potential role for that series.
Nobody, from Dombrowski to Leyland to the players, wanted to address the chances of Peralta returning, or the reception the players would have toward it.
"That's not something we're going to tackle at this point," Dombrowski said. "We don't have to make that decision. That's way down the road. We'll focus on what we need to do, which is to win a ballgame today."
Peralta was a huge part of the Tigers' season to get to first place by this point, let alone the eight-game winning streak they took to Progressive Field on Monday. Even as the speculation surrounding his future grew, Peralta kept performing.
Yet in the heart of a playoff race, hours before one of the most important series so far this season, he's gone -- maybe not just for 50 games, but maybe for the season, and maybe from Detroit for good for an admitted mistake.
At some point, they'll have to make their feelings known about Peralta's presence in September and beyond. Monday was too soon.
"To be honest with you, that's something I haven't even thought about yet," Verlander said. "He's my teammate and I love him. But there's a lot of things that go into that and I haven't had time to think about that yet."
The irony is that Peralta could've stuck around if he appealed the suspension, and he might have been able to stretch out the process to season's end. Yet doing so would've amounted to another denial.
As much as the Tigers could've used him, all who talked were publicly glad he accepted the suspension.
"You can't play the what-if game," Max Scherzer said. "Guess what, he stepped up. He owned up to it and he accepted the punishment. That's just the facts. You can't play what-ifs. This is the reality of it and he's doing what he can to get back on the field and earn the trust of everybody. That's what I think, in the clubhouse, that's what we will respect."
Not even a month ago, Scherzer was among the most vocal critics of Ryan Braun, suggesting players who are suspended under the Drug Prevention and Treatment program should be eligible to have their contracts voided. Even Monday, he reiterated his belief that suspensions should be harsher, whether it's a first-time offense or a potential two-strike policy.
Only now, he was talking about a friend. Those sentiments were being recounted to him as he talked about his teammate of the past three-plus seasons.
"It's pretty apparent how I feel toward cheaters," Scherzer said. "With Jhonny, it's disappointing, it really is."
Likewise, Hunter has defended the system, saying the fact that players still get caught means the system works. This time, the system caught a teammate.
"I hate that he chose that, but he's been punished for it and he's going to serve his 50 games. I'm pretty sure he won't do it again," Hunter said. "But if you know Jhonny, and a lot of people don't know Jhonny, [he's an] awesome guy. He just made a mistake and now he's going to pay for it. He's going to serve his time and go from there. But guys out there, there's going to always be guys that try to beat the system. You can't do nothing about it. That's part of life.
"In the real world, people are going to murder. They're going to do everything. They're going to be corrupt. They're going to steal money. Whatever it may be, people are going to try to beat the system, whether it's in this game or outside this game. And then when you get caught, be a man and take your punishment. That's all you can ask for."
From a selfish standpoint, Hunter admitted, it made sense for Peralta to accept the suspension now and get it out of the way before he becomes a free agent this winter, even if it hurts the Tigers right now.
When asked if the acceptance was a letdown from the teams' standpoint, Hunter laughed.
"He didn't let us down," he said. "This started in Spring Training. How can he let us down when he banged under the scrutiny? He banged. He helped us win. I thank him."
Peralta's a free agent at season's end, and the Tigers have already identified Jose Iglesias -- the slick-fielding shortstop acquired from Boston last week to protect the Tigers from a potential suspension -- as the shortstop of the future. If Peralta doesn't return at season's end, there's a chance Sunday was the last time several teammates will see him.
He drove from Detroit to Cleveland separate from the team Sunday night, and he wasn't at the ballpark on Monday. He reportedly talked to a few close teammates ahead of time. The one time he talked directly to Dombrowski was on Sunday.
"He asked if he could speak with me, and he spoke with me before the game," Dombrowski said. "He went out and played very well again yesterday. His comments were very apologetic, very remorseful, very sorry, and also I think it says in his statement how he feels, but it didn't seem like it really shook him as far as his performance is concerned."
