He was so comfortable on live TV
Thank you jimmy for this amazing tribute. WE LOVE YOU KOBE!! 😔
RIP legend😭😭😭
I can see the pain in Jimmy's eyes Its so sad😢
I think it's a tragedy. However I also think it's a tragedy that one American soldiers die overseas they don't get to same amount of respect as some guy that played basketball.
So no Trump bashing for one night! Business as usual tomorrow.. maybe Cobi's death might bring us together stop the fighting!
rip the best rapper
Nice tribute to a great basketball legend. Remember only the good die young. And we honor them by remembering them.
Imagine the youngest daughter growing up without a dad, but finally old enough to learn just who her dad truly was and how amazing her sister was. She's got more than other parentless people have, loads and loads and loads of videos to get an idea of what his personality was.
Well done Jimmy 😪😔💕💞
May they rest in piece.
He was a great guy. No one is perfect. He grew and matured and ended his life as a well respected loved man.
omg my heart!! 😭😭😭💔💔
Kobe was not who he says he was, he used to break into my house and tickle me until I urinated all over him in he drank it, weird dude
Heros come in all shapes and sizes. My 8 year old son is my hero!
Great Job Jimmy K, love this Tribute.
Always Kobe
Kobe and Gigi are still alive... In our hearts. Forever. Still in disbelief. 💔💔💔
thats me at 40:00 . He was such a hero man
😭😢😭🙏🙏 Rest In Peace Kobe. You were such a good guy
This hurts💔💔
i wanted him to grow old and watch his daughter join the wnba. they were taken too soon.
We're all gonna miss him 💛💜💛💜💛💜💛🏀🏀🏀 fly high everyone who died in the helicopter crash it still doesn't seem real. He was incredible and very friendly and a wonderful father and husband. Here today gone tomorrow 1978 - 2020
And its all about Kobe and not about the other 7 people that were in the crash as well only because he was a celebrity
smacleod69 no offense to the other families my condolences go out to them but he was the one that impacted millions of lives and gave inspiration to many of course he would get more attention
Just tell me that all of this is a bad dream and I have to just wake up 💔 RIP Kobe Bryant And Gigi And Other 7 people ❤
All we can do now is wish them love instead of weeping they wouldn't want that
Hold Your Loved Ones...
Dang man this is really sad I'm stuck and hurting for the families. I really can't believe this happened. My condolences to all the families. RIP.
RIP kobe
Wonderful human being RIP Kobe 💜💜💜💛💛💛💜💛
We miss you Kobe
What if Lebron passes? That would be a nightmare
Jimmy handled this beautifully. Good job Jimmy.
What a beautiful tribute to one of the greatest competitors of all time💔
Beautiful tribute! ❤
I knew Jimmy was gonna have a tribute to Kobe ... But when his eyes welled up and his voice cracked and he struggled to get the words out ... There wasn't a dry eye in America 😢
And not one ad in this tribute. Good job you tube. Rest easy Kobe and friends.
Well done and said Jimmy. Mad respect to you for the tribute. I know how close you were to Kobe and how much you loved him.
you ll never ever ever ever be forgotten Kobe, for sure
He died in the service of others. I find no more honorable an endeavor. The entire world should take heed and Honor this man.
Rise in peace king🌺💙🌼🌹💐💯☀🌻🤧
~ EPICsode ~
The silver lining in this whole tragedy (for the Bryant family) is the fact that there dad was so famous and beloved by the entire world that they can watch great moments of there father/husband on years from now to cheer them up or smile. Everyone who was hip had a Kobe story so to the Bryant family.....YOU ARE NOT ALONE. millions of us are hurting. I'm very sorry you lost your loved one but please understand your father was a legend. God is with you.
Damn Kobe talking about going to Shaquille's son basketball games at UCLA breaks my heart.💔
Kobe Kobe Kobe Kobe Kobe Kobe Kobe Kobe
RIP, Kobe will always be remembered. Legends never die.🏀
Why do people have the time too even dislike a video like this. Rip Kobe
Jimmy, I have to say, thank you for this! True respect man! Really awesome to see you do this for him and his family!!
heart breaking
Man he didn't even got a chance to be in hof speech
♥ kobe
Everyone wonders about how Shaq feels or Lebron but what about Derek Fisher and Pau Gasol? And Lamar Odom 😥🙏🏽

Spring Summer Camps in Seattle, WA
Adventure Quest Camp for kids and teens
In Adventure Quest, the children become the heroes of an incredibly fun and dynamic quest, working together in a mythical and magical world. They experience the excitement that comes from banding together to defend their village, solve a perplexing mystery, or negotiate a peace treaty. Wielding safe foam swords, the campers play dueling games and act out challenges like fending off a bullying ogre or a band of pirates. Each week of camp is a unique "Quest" – an interactive story that engages the campers' imaginations while teaching them the fundamental principles of responsible empowerment, creative problem-solving, and cooperative conflict resolution. See more about Adventure Quest
Program Details
Who: Boys & Girls ages 6-17
Location: Carkeek Park
Time: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm (optional Sword Skirmish till 4:30)
Price: $390 per week ($375 if you register before April 1st)
- Spring Break: April 13th – 17th
- Summer Week 8: Aug 3rd – 7th
- Summer Week 9: Aug 10th – 14th
- Summer Week 10: Aug 17th – 21st
- Summer Week 11: Aug 24th – 28th
Each week will be a different storyline, and kids get to keep their same character, and continue to gain experience and treasure as they go on subsequent Quests. For each week we will have an afternoon Sword Skirmish following the quest. This is an optional 1.5-hour add-on for extended programming that includes many active dueling games, and is available for an extra $50/week or $15/day drop in..
My son loves your camps! I asked, "if you could go to all of the Disney parks or to Adventure Quest this summer, which would you choose?" He said, "Adventure Quest!"

Duplication is an essential and valuable function. But it prevents popular Kahoots rising through the "noice" when sorting by favourites or plays. What if forked/duplicated Kahoots are nested? Kahoots could for example out-nest if more than 50 % different. Child- or forked-Kahoot!s could be displayed under the original, for example through a plus-sign.

for sanmarcos, who was too impatient to do this..
long lines (>512chars re:rfc1459) are truncated, and instead should be split up into multiple lines (as necessary) so the whole message is sent without being truncated.
it would appear that colloquy sends the whole line regardless of length to the server, which then truncates it.

I'd like to stress that this would be very nice to have. Coming from X-Chat, which breaks long lines automatically, with Colloquy I frequently find myself confused over what portion of my long messages others are seeing and which not.

Seeing lines break automatically should be a good way of reminding oneself that lines might be shorter.
Learning the hard way that content is lost (receiving complaints from viewers/listeners) is not ideal ;)

the IRC RFC defines a 512 character limit, but there is overhead to be considered:
i.e. to send "message" to a channel,

including any spaces in the message.
Consideration for different encodings is probably necessary too.

If it wasn't for politicians we would all probably be in a better place. Especially when it comes to education, which is what they all say they care about. So why is this guy worried about $$ going to a County Judge to distribute since the Mississippi legislature has failed to lift the state from its last place national ranking on education??

Decided what name/s will go on the contract.
Your Driver's License and/or Passport, if you don't have Driver's License or Passport, make sure you have a government issued photo identification and proof of address.
If you will not be attending the auction make sure your 3rd party bidder has the original Authority to Bid Form completed and signed by yourself along with their Driver's License, Passport and/or government issued photo identification and proof of their address.
Arrive at the auction early and register as a bidder (Required by law in NSW, QLD, ACT & SA other states at agency's discretion).
Place yourself in a position where the auctioneer can easily see you.
Pay close attention to the auctioneer as to where the bids are at or refer to your AUCTIONS LIVE ePaddle; if still unsure ask for assistance from one of the agents.
Hold up your bidder number when placing a bid (if issued).
Call out your bid in a clear voice, you have the option to call out an exact amount, or indicate the increment you wish to increase the previous bid by.

A vendor bid is a bid made by the Auctioneer on behalf of the vendor (owner of the property). It's not a bid to buy the property and is used to keep the bidding moving forward.
If an Auctioneer announces "the property is on the market" this means it has reached or exceeded the reserve price set by the vendor and is going to be sold at auction.
No, the reserve price is kept confidential, although maybe disclosed during, or at the conclusion of the auction.
The reserve price is a price stipulated by the vendor as the lowest acceptable price the property can be sold for at auction.
A bidder paddle or bidder Card is provided to registered bidders prior to an auction commencing. Bidder Paddle and Bidder Cards will have a number recorded on them which is used to identify registered bidders.
If you arrive after the auction has started and wish to bid, you will need to find an agent and register. Auctioneers are unable to accept bids until registration has been completed and a bidder number has been issued (if required).
If a property has been sold prior to auction this would mean that an offer had been made on the property pre-auction and accepted by the vendor.
Yes, individuals found to be dummy bidders at an auction may be prosecuted and fined, as can the agent and auctioneer if they were involved in the arrangement.
No, it is up each individual Auctioneer.
No, only one party will be required to register.
Yes, although these must be worked out and confirmed in writing prior to the auction commencing.
If a property has been "passed in" it means that the "reserve price" was not met and therefore the property was not sold at auction.

hetieshou commented on Huang Xiaoming Was Ultraman at His Son's Party@HeTieShou@lynn90 Exactly and I just find it strange. I do not mean to jinx them but the things they do are very strange.
@lynn90 agree agree, two thumbs up. He was no way at little sponge's party. Ultraman could be anybody. Very well delivered post. Just another feeble attempt to save face for a marriage that is nothing more than a business.
littlefish commented on Huang Xiaoming Was Ultraman at His Son's Party@LittleFish@lynn90 yup. Having kid, and a husband that treasures the kid above all else, my husband would rather pay people to dress up, and then hold the boy for the entire birthday party (which he always did the past 2 birthdays! ) than dress up and have to entertain other kids! I don't buy this unless there's a photo of HXM with the mask off. And yes, after surprise his son, he should just change out and be with his son, while someone else takes over. That would be the best of both worlds!
@hetieshou Right? Anyone else finds this strange? I think their son would've been happier seeing his Daddy there, too. I get it. Some parents cosplay for their children BUT they eventually take off the costume to greet and thank the guests as well as be there to take lots of memorable photos as a parent with the child. Here? HXM remained as the character all throughout the party? Nahhh, fishy unless there are photos or videos of HXM in that costume at that time, not a re-enactment some time else, I don't really buy it.
She's a very likable actress even when she played the antagonist in Novoland. Her acting is pretty decent for an idol actress. I've actually enjoyed her dramas. Has she denied these rumors yet? I don't know but gonna assume that she will like 90% of other people. Anyway, I think there's nothing wrong with plastic surgery. Everyone has the right to change their face, looks, and appearance even if they aren't in the ET industry. However, I think it's important to be honest because the truth is something that doesn't die like in this case. You can deny plastic surgery all you want, but someone is bound to have your old photos, the old you, and leak it to the world or like in this case and Angelababy's, you started your career with your old face and then gradually changed. I just find it silly to lie or deny the truth when it's clearly obvious. It makes you look like a joke and makes people more vicious at attacking you. If you're bold enough to do it then be ballsy enough to accept the truth when you're questioned about it. I think netizens are laughing because she was named one of China's beauty when she's plastic. That paradox is what makes this case hilarious. Like Hu Ge said, in the end, as an actress, you're a public person, what you do or say shapes the image of you to the people out there. I think just because you're an actress and need your face to make money doesn't excuse your lies. Comparing it to a normal job, you can't fake your resume and expect not to get reprimanded once they find out. I'm not saying, hey, bash her for being plastic. I'm saying the least she or anyone who is plastic can do is admit the truth. Whatever follows, follows. It's not like Angelababy's plastic surgery is the only issue that keeps her trending in the news. It's her horrible acting, rumored divorce, and so forth. People are always going to find something to talk about. Why?! Because not everyone is going to like you, but you don't have give them a reason to dislike you even more like lying through your teeth. Anyway, JJY is cute and I don't mind still watching her because she's a decent actress. I don't think anyone is shocked these days about plastic surgery. It's just people probably think it's crazy how no one is natural anymore. Lol Well, except for a few. Even though, plastic surgery is the norm these days, but is it really okay? It's more of a how far type of society question. Sure, it's their body but their decisions impact society. It's like a pro choice and pro life argument, the way I see it, not saying anyone else. There will always be two sides to it.
lynn90 commented on Edison Chen Stands Up for Nana Ouyang@Lynn90I can't with this guy. She looks cute. Netizens adore stick figures.
lynn90 commented on After Cheating Scandal, Wu Xiubo's Wife is Still Willing to Stay by His Side@Lynn90@msxie0714 They all deserve each other. Ruby brought it upon herself when she became too greedy and wanted the throne. When she couldn't have it, instead of leaving peacefully with what he already gave her, she thought she would outsmart him and ask for more. Greed. She dug her own grave. As for the wife, she can sit on her coveted throne all she wants. Keep it warm, while he keeps someone else warm. She can have all money he's not spending on other mistresses, the legal title, and the legitimate child all she wants, but to never really have him will drive her insane and will keep her writhing unpeacefully her whole entire life. No woman, no matter how big hearted or open she is wants to share her husband or be in the dark. I hope he never rises again. With China trying to clean up their streets with the no dyed hair, earrings, feminine looks, and tax evasion, China should perhaps turn their attention to these scum who are hurting their own Chinese women. China doesn't even have enough women for their men, so these jerks should honestly stick to one woman. Anyway, karma works a lot faster than we think these days.
msxie0714 commented on After Cheating Scandal, Wu Xiubo's Wife is Still Willing to Stay by His Side@msxie0714@lynn90 Must be an open marriage if a wife could tolerate him being a serial womanizer. Ruby Chen's also at fault for attaching herself to a married man. She was in it for material benefits and he was in for the sexual benefits.
Grace does remind me of Michelle Saram back in the days. Both are gorgeous ladies with a huge smile.
lynn90 commented on After Cheating Scandal, Wu Xiubo's Wife is Still Willing to Stay by His Side@Lynn90Haha, told you so, always knew that the wife was never in the dark about his affairs. They're both ruthless and deserve each other. That's why I never pitied her. I'm glad that his career suffering. What he did to his mistress was pretty heartless. I can't believe the mistress was that silly to fall for such an old trick, too. She thought he was going to let her get away with exposing him and the money?! Nawww! He had to show the women in his life that he was the one with balls. ^______^
lynn90 commented on Why A-Mei is Unable to Lose Weight@Lynn90It's a constant battle maintaining a flawless body and figure. The majority of Korean celebrities/idols to Victoria Secret models promoting and active right now have all shared extreme dieting methods and schedules they must execute to achieve the bodies we see, so it's no surprise to see Amei chubbier with age after years and years of yo-yo diets, packed schedules, highly stressed situations, and genetics. It's only normal to suffer the consequences of perhaps abusing or not really taking care of ones body. Being physically thin or healthy looking isn't exactly being healthy internally. Having fought obese genetics for decades is a tiring process too. Whether Amei is happy being chubbier or not, we can't say. However, for sure, she has been in this industry for a very long time. She is very well aware of the expectations, the unrealistic demands, and the pressure from looking different from 10-20 years ago when it should be a normal human thing to look your age physically, whether it be imperfect skin, thinning hair, to bigger sizes. Thus, how she looks like now is probably her trying her best to stay healthy and presentable yet happy. She's not lazy, so it's not like she's fat because she lost motivation to exercise or can't stop eating and especially if she has any health problems, you bet she's trying her best to overcome them. She knows health affects everything. It's probably a mix of age, illnesses that she won't disclose, years of crash diets, and simply, not caring so much, so not resorting back to earlier unhealthy methods of achieving a flawless body. I applaud her for saying that she's just a singer, why so serious about her physical appearance? And even if she was a model, health and happiness comes first.
Lay is so adorable. He's so human sometimes that it's cute to see him get upset over getting roasted. I thought what he said afterwards was pretty funny and controlled the situation quite well.
This is probably true. It's only a matter of time for Wilber to admit the truth unless like Wallace Chung, he never does. Almost everyone has admitted to rumors of a family when netizens provide a name for the rumored wife or mistress, even Jackie Chan, except for Wallace. Haha. What is up with Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities lying about being married and having children whereas Mainland celebrities are way more honest about dating/marriage/children? They date, marry, become parents pretty young too, yet, their careers don't seem to suffer at all. If Korean idols can openly date like Kai and Jennie, there's no reason why any celebrities have to hide their wives and kids. I mean, it's their WIVES AND KIDS, that's a whole different level of lying. Sure, sure, it's their lives and privacy, but there are boundaries too, you know?! Wilber and Wallace have no reasons to hide their wives and children. They're not young anymore. They're not super popular either who have teenage sasaeng fans.
@lynn90 I called Gillian backwards because I was told by the previous member that Gillian changed her name 3 times to change her luck and not for her lack of knowledge of science. Superstition isn't an illness so I an entitled to criticize her for it. I personally experience sleep paralysis many times a year so if based on her theory then i have been held down by demons many times a year. I recommend that people from recent generations to believe more in education and facts rather than rely on information passed on from family members like a torch...
@jimmyszeto I don't think sleep paralysis explains anything; actually, science, itself, doesn't for that matter. Sure, it "could" be sleep paralysis from a scientific observation, but there are lots of things that are being discovered and debunked via science, so I wouldn't bet my entire debate or life on science even if it sounds convincing right now. Sleep paralysis may be debunked tomorrow for all we know. It's science. It's not consistent either. Science uses this and that but in the end, they're based on theories and theories are still, what someone believed in just like superstitions. I'm right in the middle. I believe science; however, I don't go around believing superstitions are ridiculous or outdated. Science tries to explain the world but it's not always the truth. Gillian's reaction is pretty normal. You're a guy?! So I guess, that's why. Sure, normal life can resume from sleep paralysis or supernatural activity just like getting sick, but we're all different. We react differently and recover at our own pace. Science doesn't believe in ghosts but none of their theories make sense, probably to the ones who truly want to believe that ghosts are from gases or mold that make people lose their minds. Haha. Anyway, science doesn't in believe ghosts but they do aliens. That's just insane. I'm just saying, judging from her point of view, it was a serious matter. We can't impose our will or scientific views on Gillian and call her backwards or ignorant when she's not the only one who doesn't choose to solely rely on science for everything.
@lynn90 Not bothered what they call it. Some people are superstitious too but does not mean it correct. You cant just call or believe 'there is a demon sitting on you' when there has been a legitimate, scientific explanation anyway....
I've always adored Tang Yan, so congratulations to her and Luo Jin. They're only two years apart? Geez. Tang Yan looks really good for her age then compared to him. Haha, anyway, they look so in love and that's what's most important.
Actually, some people do call this experience "supernatural" and not sleep paralysis especially in the East. It's when a ghost/spirit/demon is sitting/sleeping on you. I'm surprised some of you have never heard about it?! It's something to freak out about especially if you're sleeping alone. I don't blame Gillian. I'd be bunking with Charlene or at least a manager for other safety reasons.

|Wild Prize
|£2,000 for those from the EU or overseas who plan to fund their own studies - to be paid in Year 1
* Continued payment of scholarships is subject to satisfactory progress.
Applications for 2020 entry are now being accepted
The generosity of the Wild Fund Scholarship in supporting my PhD study has significantly alleviated my financial burden so that I can focus more on my studies. Moreover, this Scholarship offers not only a financial support, but it is also a huge inspiration to me. If in the future I have the ability and opportunity to help other students, I think I will do so without hesitation, as I know exactly what it means to them.
I chose the University of York to continue my studies not only because York is a very beautiful city and a nice place to live, but also because the University has a very high quality of education, with its Department of Chemistry featuring in the top 5 in the UK. I am very happy and know that I made the right decision.
I would like to sincerely thank the Wild Fund for helping to fund my PhD. The longer I do it, the better I understand that I am becoming a more competent professional.
Doing this research project has already helped me greatly to boost my confidence in conducting experiments, giving scientific presentations and communicating with collaborators. I would not imagine that doing a similar research project in my home country would have given me as many skills or as much confidence. I am happy that I have met people from my research group and been able to learn from them.

Druk Air
Drukair — Royal Bhutan Airlines
Founded 5 April 1981 Commenced operations 11 February 1983 Operating bases Paro Airport Fleet size 3 Destinations 9 Company slogan Kingdom in the sky Parent company Druk Holding and Investments Limited Headquarters Paro, Bhutan Key people Tandin Jamso (MD)[2] Website www.drukair.com.bt
Druk Air Corporation Limited (Dzongkha: འབྲུག་མཁའ་འགྲུལ་ལས་འཛིན།, Wylie: 'brug mkha' 'grul las 'dzin), operating as Drukair — Royal Bhutan Airlines, is the national airline of the Kingdom of Bhutan. Its headquarters are in the western dzongkhag of Paro.[3]
Founded in 1981, ten years after Druk Gyalpo Jigme Dorji Wangchuck gradually began to open up the kingdom from self-imposed isolation, and seven years after welcoming its first foreign visitors, the airline commenced operations in 1983 with flights from Calcutta to Paro utilising Dornier Do 228 aircraft. A switch to BAe 146-100 equipment occurred in November 1988, and in order to meet increased demand, those aircraft were replaced in 2004 with two Airbus A319s.
Druk Air operates a modest scheduled flight network within the South Asian region from its base at Paro Airport and currently consists of eight destinations in five countries.
Bhutan has drawn a Vision 2020 Plan, as part of its Five Year Development Plans targeting several sectors for development, which includes improved external air links by 2017 that would enable increase in income from tourism from 100% (by 2012) to 150% (2017) coupled with completion of second National Highway by 2017. It has also signed several memorandum of understandings with the Government of India not only to enhance airtraffic facilities and operations but also to help Bhutan during emergency situations of floods and earthquake affecting the Paro Airport.
In 1968, the Indian Border Roads Organisation built an airstrip in the Paro valley, which was initially used for helicopter operations by the Indian Armed Forces for the Royal Government of Bhutan. After consideration by King Jigme Singye Wangchuck and the Tshogdu, Druk Air was established by Royal Charter on 5 April 1981, ten years after the Druk Gyalpo, king Jigme Dorji Wangchuck gradually began to open up the Kingdom from self-imposed isolation, and seven years after welcoming its first foreign visitors.[4][5][6]
Paro Airport is located deep in a valley 2,235 metres (7,333 ft) above sea level, and is surrounded by mountains as high as 4,900 metres (16,100 ft).[7] At the time, the runway was 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) in length,[4] giving the Bhutanese government specific requirements for a choice of aircraft to be operated. They required an 18–20 seat STOL-capable aircraft with operating capabilities which included a high service ceiling, high rate of climb and high manoeuvrability. The major requirement for the aircraft was that it must be capable of flying Kolkata – Paro – Kolkata, a 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) round-trip flight, without refuelling, due to minimal infrastructure being available at Paro for this purpose. Three different aircraft types were considered after flight tests in India and Bhutan between 1978 and 1980; however, none were deemed to be suitable.[4]
In mid-1981, the Indian government set up a committee to study its own requirements for a light transport aircraft. Based upon this competition, the Bhutanese government ordered one Dornier 228-200 for delivery in January 1983, with the option for a second aircraft for delivery in late 1983. The first 18-seat Dornier 228-200 landed at Paro Airport on 14 January 1983, the exact time of landing, the number of passengers on board and even the direction the aircraft was parked on the airport apron being predetermined by the high lama of Paro Dzong.[4]
The airline inaugurated scheduled revenue flights on 11 February 1983, with Flight 101 departing Paro for Kolkata and returning the next day as Flight 102. For the first four weeks the flight was operated three times a week, after which it was increased to a daily flight.[4] At the time of service commencement, Paro Airport consisted of the runway, a two-room air traffic control building (with the ground floor acting as the check-in counter) and a departure lounge on the lawn.[8] Prior to the establishment of the Department of Civil Aviation in January 1986, the airline was responsible for the operation and maintenance of airport infrastructure.[9] The airline commenced flights to Dhaka in Bangladesh on 30 October 1986.[10][11]

Jet era
On 30 December 1987, a US$25 million order was placed with British Aerospace for a BAe 146-100 STOL regional jet.[13][14] The purchase of the aircraft was financed by the government, obtaining, for the first time in the country's history, a commercial loan.[15] In 1988, the operational base was shifted from Kolkata to Paro Airport.[10] On 21 November 1988, the BAe 146 was delivered to Paro Airport. With the introduction of the BAe 146, Druk Air was able to widen its network to link Paro with Delhi on 26 November 1988, Bangkok on 28 January 1989 and Kathmandu in April 1989.[11] Druk Air also hired its first seven flight attendants in 1988 who were trained by Thai Airways International.[10] In the first full year of operational service with the BAe 146, the airline achieved an average load factor of 50–60 percent, more than the 40 percent which was expected, carrying 12,732 passengers over the 1989 – 1990 period.[11][16] In 1990, the runway at Paro Airport was lengthened from 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) to 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) and reinforced for heavier aircraft.[10][17] A hangar was also constructed for the aircraft, which was funded by the Indian government as part of the Paro Airport Development Project.[5]
The airlines's only aircraft was requisitioned by Druk Gyalpo Jigme Singye Wangchuck on 9 November 1990, in order to allow the king and his party to travel to Tokyo for the coronation of Akihito as Emperor of Japan.[18] From Japan, the King then travelled to Malé in the Maldives for the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation summit between 21 November–23 November, and returned to Bhutan in order for the aircraft to re-enter service with the airline on 25 November.[18] Due to a requirement stipulated by the Bhutanese government that all foreign tourists, with the exception of Indian nationals, enter and leave Bhutan by air, the country's tourism industry was brought to a halt, which saw the airline paying hefty penalties to disgruntled tour operators.[6][18] This problem was somewhat alleviated when a second BAe 146 entered service in 1992,[19] and on 11 November 1993, the airline introduced a 10 Executive Class on the aircraft.[10] On 13 May 1991, Druk Air was registered under the Companies Act of Bhutan.[10] Service to Yangon, the capital of Myanmar, began on 6 January 1997.[20]
During 2000–2001, Druk Air could operate with only one single aircraft for over a year due to a corrosion defect in its A5-RGD aircraft in the wing tanks that was detected during a check at Woodford. The wings were replaced. In 2002, an RJ70 was wet-leased from airBaltic to cover for maintenance to A5-RGE.[22]
Druk Air became the launch customer for the Avro RJX-85 in April 2000 when it placed an order with BAE Systems for two aircraft, with deliveries initially scheduled to take place in November 2001 and January 2002.[23] Delays in the first flight and certification of the RJX pushed back expected delivery to Druk Air to after April 2002.[24] BAe Systems cancelled the RJX program in November 2002,[25] due to receiving orders from only two airlines,[26] Druk Air and British European.[25] With British European threatening legal action to enforce their contract with BAE Systems,[27] the aircraft manufacturer offered to fulfil the contract for Druk Air, although airline management decided against acquiring the aircraft, citing potential problems with sourcing spare parts for the aircraft in future.[26]
In order to find a replacement for the 2 BAe 146s, Druk Air management fielded submissions from Airbus, Boeing and Embraer to determine their products' suitability to meet Druk Air's stringent operational requirements. Bombardier was also invited by management to demonstrate the CRJ900 regional jet,[28] however, the airline was advised by Bombardier the aircraft would be unsuited for operations at Paro.[29] In February 2002, the Airbus A319 became the largest aircraft to ever land at Paro Airport, when Airbus demonstrated the aircraft to the airline. By October, Boeing had withdrawn from the competition due to not being able to source an aircraft to demonstrate to the airline. With the Embraer E-190 yet to fly, it was expected that Druk Air would order the A319. However, the government had concerns regarding financing for the purchase, and in October the final decision was delayed.[30] After a short period of time, the government instructed management to begin evaluations once again,[29] and a Boeing 737-700 conducted eleven test flights at Paro Airport in February 2003, in which it was demonstrated it met the requirements of the airline for operation into Paro.[31]
Airbus signed a memorandum of understanding with Druk Air in July 2003 for two 114-seat Airbus A319-115, powered by two CFM56-5B engines, for delivery in the second half of 2004.[32][33][34] The purchase of the two jets, valued at 3,534.36 million Bhutanese ngultrum (BTN),[13] was the biggest single purchase ever made by Bhutan, and was largely responsible for a 250 percent increase in the Bhutanese trade deficit over the previous year for the financial year 2004–2005.[35][36] The Bhutanese government issued BTN 1,767.18 million in government bonds to pay for one aircraft and for only the second time in Bhutan's history intended to seek a commercial loan for the other aircraft.[13][15] However, in October 2004 it announced it would instead seek a soft loan for this purpose.[13]
On 11 November 2003, the birthday of Druk Gyalpo Jigme Singye Wangchuck, Druk air initiated services to Gaya, India.[37] Bodh Gaya, 10 kilometres (6 mi) from Gaya, is the site of the Mahabodhi Temple where Siddhārtha Gautama, the Buddha, reached enlightenment, and 30,000–40,000 Bhutanese make the pilgrimage every year.[38] Pilgrims have previously made the pilgrimage to Bodh Gaya via a 2–3 day overland trip from the Bhutanese border town of Phuntsholing, and Druk Air management plans on acquiring 20–30% of this traffic,[37][38] although the airline had yet to record a profit on the route at of February 2006.[39] The following month, as a result of Royal Bhutan Army efforts to expel from Bhutan territory Indian separatist insurgent groups, notably the United Liberation Front of Asom and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland,[40] flights to Dhaka were suspended from 29 December in order to prevent insurgents from using Druk Air flights to escape to alleged hideouts in Bangladesh.[41][42]
Airbus era
The first Airbus A319 arrived in Bhutan on 19 October 2004;[32] the date chosen after a Buddhist astrologist was consulted to ensure the aircraft arrived in Bhutan on an auspicious day in the Buddhist calendar.[13] Before entering service on commercial flights on 31 October 2004,[43] Druk Air took their A319 on a country-wide flight in honour of the ascencion of Crown Prince Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck to the Chhoetse Penlop.[13] The second aircraft was delivered by Airbus to Druk Air in December 2004.[44]
In July 2005, the governments of India and Bhutan signed a new bilateral air services agreement which increased the allowable number of weekly flights between the two countries from 12 to 49. In addition to destinations already served by Druk Air, the cities of Mumbai, Chennai and Guwahati were included in their services agreement, with Bhutan being granted fifth freedom rights from several Indian cities to onward destinations such as Yangon, Dhaka and Singapore.[45][46]
Domestic helicopter service was inaugurated in November 2005,[47] in line with a resolution by the Council of Ministers in April 2001 which stated that domestic services should be introduced. Thirty heliports across the country were identified, and the introduction of services saw, for example, the 550 kilometres (340 mi) trip from Thimphu to Trashigang taking only one hour, instead of two to three days.[48] The Eurocopter Ecureuil helicopter operated by the Nepalese operator, Air Dynasty, had by January 2006 seen 30 hours of service, netting Druk Air US$3,000 in profits.[47]
Flights to Dhaka, suspended since 29 December 2003, resumed on 23 October 2006,[49] and the airline was given rights to fly to Chittagong and Cox's Bazar by the Bangladeshi authorities.[50] The airline announced plans in July 2007 to start scheduled flights to Mumbai via Kathmandu from March 2008,[51] inline with the strategy of Druk Air management to increase the number of Indian tourists travelling to Bhutan during the low season months of June through August and November through February.[52] These plans were put on hold in March 2008, due to Paro Airport not being able to handle night flights and the airline only being able to secure landing slots at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport at 3am.[52] Plans for services to Hong Kong, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah were also shelved.[52]
The airline posted its first profit in 2007 of BTN 31.15 million.[53] The two BAe 146 aircraft were sold to Star Perú in October 2007 for US$3.3 million, and left Bhutan for Peru in November and December 2007.[54][55]
Druk Gyalpo Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck on 11 November 2007 issued a Royal Kasho establishing Druk Holding and Investments Limited, a holding company which would manage existing and future investments of the Royal Bhutanese government. As a result, seven government-owned companies, including Druk Air, had their ownership transferred from the Ministry of Finance to the newly-formed holding company.[56] Incorporated on 13 November 2007, Druk Holding and Investments announced in December 2007 that given Bhutan's tourism industry being reliant on Druk Air, the head of the government agency overseeing tourism development in Bhutan would become the chairperson of Druk Air, and would be responsible for improving the performance of the national airline.[57]
Although the government of Bhutan goes to great lengths to prevent outside influences from intruding on Bhutanese culture, Druk Air is not immune to problems which affect the airline industry and the world community at large. In June 2008, citing hikes in the price of oil and the need to contain operational costs, the airline reduced frequencies across its network and announced an increase in airfares to offset the increased costs, whilst taking advantage of the lower cost of jet fuel at Delhi, Kolkata and Bangkok airports.[58] Due to its small network which is reliant on fifth-freedom rights,[59] Druk Air regularly leases its aircraft to other airlines, such as Myanmar Airways International, Indian Airlines and Bangkok Airways in order to keep utilisation rates on its aircraft higher than they would under normal circumstances, whilst at the same time earning extra revenue.[59][60][61][62]
The airline was due to begin flights on 20 April 2009 to Bagdogra Airport in India, but had to delay the inaugural flight due to the lack of immigration and customs facilities at the airport.[63] The inaugural flight to Bagdogra Airport left Paro Airport on 18 June 2009. The ceremony being attended by S. M. Krishna, the Indian Minister for External Affairs, and Lyonpo Ugyen Tshering, the Bhutanese Minister of Foreign Affairs, making Druk Air the first international airline to operate into the airport.[64] This link is also a new route to Bangkok. The flight schedule involves flights from Paro Airport to Bangkok via Bagdogra on Tuesdays and Saturdays and from Bangkok to Bhutan on Sundays and Wednesdays. From Bagdogra connecting flights will be available for many other destinations. The link has been introduced to enhance local tourism at affordable rates.[65]
Contemporary developments
Until 23 August 2010 Druk Air was the only airline flying into Bhutan.[66] The airline is a lifeline for the Bhutanese people,[59] connecting Bhutan with the outside world and supporting emerging inbound tourism and export markets.[67][68][69] The airline has, in recent times, been criticised for its unreliability, particularly by the Bhutanese tourism industry which is still in its infancy, and regards the very company upon which it relies, as its biggest threat.[67]
In October 2009, the Bhutanese government planned construction works of an airstrip in Yongphulla. The airstrip, which was expected to be 3,900 feet (1,200 m) in length and operational by March 2010, would allow for service by small aircraft in the 15 – 16 seat category.[70] The project was being financed with Nu. 34 million from the budget which was previously allocated to the development of domestic helicopter services. The airstrip would only be operational during the morning hours due to high winds in the afternoon; making safe operations risky.[71] Druk Air is conducting a feasibility study into operating flights to the airstrip from Paro, as well as, two other airstrips which are under construction at Bathpalathang and Gelephu.[72][73]
In 2006 the Indian government acting for the Bhutanese government, conducted a feasibility study into the viability of an international airport near the southern Bhutanese town of Gelephu.[45] In the five-year plan (which covers 2008–2013) the sum of BTN 2,826 million had been allocated by the Bhutanese government for development of the new airport.[74] A preliminary survey was conducted by India in May 2006 and the survey team from the Airports Authority of India was to return and complete the final survey in September 2006. In October 2008 the project was shelved, and the Bhutanese Government decided that the airport at Gelephu would be used for domestic flights only.[75] Since then the construction of a domestic airport at Gelephu has been scheduled to commence in late 2010 with the airport proposing to start operations in June 2011. The Bhutanese Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) has indicated that the airport at Gelephu will be an 'all-weather' airport that may be able to accept some international traffic in the future.[73]
Under the Vision 2020 Plan, the Royal Bhutanese Government has identified the requirement for improved external air links by 2017, in an effort to increase tourism revenue 100% by 2012 and 150% by 2017.[76] The airline is currently conducting feasibility studies into the commencement of operations to either Hong Kong or Singapore by March 2011. The airline's commercial manager has stated that preliminary studies show that Bhutanese traffic to Singapore would consist mainly of official travel, whilst traffic to Hong Kong would be mainly commercial, with good prospects for tourism development.[77]
On 21 April 2010, an ATR 42 turboprop regional aircraft was delivered to Paro under a nine month lease. The aircraft was used on flights from Paro to Kolkata and Kathmandu, and also be on standby during the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation summit in Thimphu at the end of April.[77] Druk Air announced its intention to join the International Air Transport Association in 2009.[78]
Druk Air operates scheduled flights to the following destinations:[79]
The Druk Air fleet consists of the following aircraft (as of 1 May 2010):[77]
Druk Air Fleet Aircraft In Fleet Passengers Notes J Y Total Airbus A319-115 2 20 94 114[32] ATR 42 1 0 48 48[80] Leased from DOT LT of Lithuania
The ATR 42 which is operated on a nine month lease from April 2010 will be evaluated by the airline with the possibility of a future purchase. The Civil Aviation Department's decision on which company will be given authority to operate on domestic routes in Bhutan will influence the decision on which aircraft the airline will purchase.[77] Druk Air's aircraft provide 20 business class seats and 90 economy class seats on its Airbus A319-115.[81]
In March 2008, Druk Air introduced a new uniform for its flight attendants, consisting of a contemporary kira and tego.[82] The uniforms were introduced for the centenary celebrations of the monarchy, as well as the airlines own silver jubilee.[19] The uniform was chosen by way of a competition in which five Bhutanese fashion designers submitted entries, with the winner receiving a BTN 75,000 prize.[82] The textiles used in the new uniform were chosen by way of a competition that was jointly organised by Druk Air and the United Nations Development Programme to promote the Bhutanese textile industry and culture.[83][84]

Custom BMX Bike – Build Your Own Bike from Scratch
Last Updated on
Not everyone's demand, requirement match to what the bike manufacturing companies offer to the customers. For example, a person who is tall requires a longer tube for him. If you do not get what you want, then why not make it the way you like?
Building A Custom BMX Bike
When it comes to building a custom BMX bike, it is not that difficult how it seems to build one. Almost everyone with a little knowledge of assembling parts can make their own.
In this article, I will show how you can make your own BMX bike.
1. Choosing the Frame
Want to make a good quality bike? Make sure you choose the right frame.
Your most desired bike will be constructed on this frame. In this case, you can weld tubes or get a frame set from the professional bike frame makers.
I would suggest you to buy a frame that checks all your needs. It will ensure better durability and add a professional touch for your bike. A frame consists of a top tube, angular head tube and seat tube, and a stand over.
Now, what would be the measurement?
It depends on your height. As it is a custom made bike, everything here will be according to your requirements. However, there is some standard measurement that you can choose. If your height is between 4'9"-5'.2", then go for tube frames of 18-19.5".
You need to use 20-20.5" tube frame if your height is between 5'2" and 5'5". Use 20.5-21" frame tube if your height is 5'6"-6'. Furthermore, if your height is above, then go for the one that meets your comfort.
When you choose the components, it is important for you to have proper knowledge about it. The best recommendation would be, search on google and check YouTube videos to make sure what you are purchasing is made of good quality.
The front end consists of forks, bars, and stem. You can purchase these parts from just one company. But if you have personal preferences and decide to mix brands, make sure you choose brands that only sell good quality parts for bikes.
2. Installing The Headset, Stem And Fork
You will find frames with an integrated head tube. What you need to buy is an integrated headset. Now, check if your fork has an integrated headset race.
Most of the BMX bike fork includes a race. And if your fork does not have one, do not panic; your headset packages your back.
Inside the headset box, you will find few races. Here you need the lower race. It would be better if you apply a thin layer of grease to the headset surface. Now, install the lower headset bearing. Make sure the rubber that seals the bearing is faced downward.
Next, apply a thin layer of grease to the bearing surface of the head tube. Once you have done this, then slide the fork up to the bottom of the head tube. Then install the upper headset bearing. At this point, the rubber seal should be facing upward.
Now, it is time for installing the space ring. This bearing is also known as the compression ring. Apply a thin layer of grease here as well. The compression ring is for tightening the headset. Then, install the dust cover over the bearing and compression ring.
Depending on your height requirement, you might need to add a couple of races on top of it to raise the handlebar. Now, install the stem and handlebar to the fork. Make sure the stem is not standing too high that the fork takes the majority inside the stem.
Now, tighten the fork with fork compression bolt. Then tighten all the pinch balls for keeping the handlebar straight. You are done with the fork.
3. Installing Bottom Bracket, Crankset And Peddles
It is time to install the crankset and peddles. Flip the bike and let it rest on its handlebars and seat. To step further, you need to take care of the bottom bracket first. Bottom bracket consists of two bearings and an internal spacer that holds the crankset.
Your seat tube and down tube is attached to a short tube that referred to as bracket shell. Install the spacer through it. Keep holding one side of spacer until you install the bearing on the other side. A rubber mallet will hold it firmly.
Now, install the other bearing to the opposite side.
As you might already know, a crankset is the thing that attaches both the chain and pedals. And it spins the wheels by pedaling. The entire crankset consists of a spindle and a sprocket.
The spindle is a rod that attaches both the crank arms and sprocket is a wheel of cogs for the chain.
Now, you need to insert the spindle into the right side of the crank arm. Make sure it matches with the splines and pushes the spindle in. Tighten the bolt. Slide the sprocket down to the spindle. Attach it to the crank arm with a bolt.
When it comes to the installation process of cranks, bear in mind that you need to install them separately. The right crank should get attached to the bottom bracket. Do not forget to slide a crank spacer ring over the spindle.
At this point, the spindle will find its way to home.
Insert it into the bottom bracket, make sure it gets all the way to the end. A rubber mallet will make the placement of the crank firm. The crank should be in a vertical position facing downwards.
Now, it is time for the second crank to install. Like before, you need to slide a spacer into the left crank and insert into the bottom bracket. This crank needs to face upwards vertically. If the installation is correct, it will form a straight line.
Now, check whether both the crank arms have the same amount of clearance within them and the frame. If not, then you will need to add or remove spacers to adjust them. Finally, lock them up by tightening the bolts.
4. Pedals
Before starting the installation, apply grease to the threads of each pedal. Then with the help of a pedal wrench, attach both of them to each side of the crank arm.
On your pedals, you will find L and R indicator showing which one will attach to the left and right side of the crank. Wrench clockwise to tighten the right one, and do the same meaning counterclockwise for the left one.
5. Wheels
The front wheel will be mounted on the fork. Make sure, the safety washers are fully engaged in their holes. Then tighten the lock nuts on both sides.
To avoid crooking the wheels, you need to tighten each nut a little at a time. It will keep the wheel centered. If you plan to install pegs, it needs to do before tapping on the axle nuts. It will make the wheel installation a lot easier and keep the bike balanced.
For installing the back wheel, slide into the frame. Now, the rest of the work will be done after installing the chain.
6. Chain
First, wrap the chain around the back sprocket. After that, wrap it around the front sprocket. Join both the ends of the chain together. Make sure every master link is connected with each end of the chain. Every two pins of the master link need to be connected with a plate.
Slide the clip over the plate and snap it into the place. If you find any difficulty, you always have the option to use a flat-head screwdriver to get the thing done for you.
Install your pegs but keep it loose. Pull the back wheel and tighten the chain and tighten the pegs a little. Make sure you tighten up each side until the pegs are tight enough.
7. Breaks And Levers
You need to slide the levers onto the handlebars. But you can orient them whatever position you like. Take your time and try sliding it on different positions and choose a comfortable position. Then, tighten the levers with appropriate wrench.
Now, you can install the brake arms. Apply grease to the brake mounts. Then, slide the brake arms and spring onto the brake mount. Tighten the spring bolt.
Insert the cable into the lever and leave the barrel adjuster on the lever. Run the cable all the way to the brake arm through the top of the crossbar, down the fork to the wheel and in front of the fork. The cable should not be tight, and neither it should be loose.
Pull out the cable and cut the extended part of it by a wire cutter. Through housing, make sure the inner cable is put back. Now, connect it to the brake arm. Tighten the bolts.
You need to adjust the spring tension. It needs to tighten one by one side. To make things easy, loosen the spring bolt and adjust tension.
Once you are done, tighten the bolts again. You must test the brakes to ensure that they are applying pressure correctly.
You are almost there, the last thing that you need to do is to adjust the brake pads. Loosen it while holding the brake pad steady. Make it parallel with the rim by lining up the pad. When you are done, tighten the bolt.
The brake pad should not touch the rim. Keep minimum 0.04-inch distance from the rim.
To Conclude,
Do not be afraid just by reading the entire procedure. Once you start assembling your BMX bike, things will get a lot easier than how it seems now.
If you follow our instructions, you will not only be able to create your BMX bike, but also you can remove and re-install any parts of your bike whenever you want. In fact, you will gain the reputation among your riding circle as an expert BMX bike builder.

For both students and professionals knowledge of these legal fields could be crucial for a successful career. Yet a French Law Degree requires a good level in the French language.

When large numbers of your listeners are caught up in the heart of a story, involving and engaging them is just as important as informing them. Aside from on air content, a radio station's website can add context and detail which you simply can't fit into a three minute news bulletin.
But how you do this can make a real difference of the perceptions of your audience. And for once, I will offer no analysis or comment on who's done things better or worse in this situation. Simply two screen grabs of coverage for the forthcoming tube strike. Firstly from the BBC and then from LBC.

The move from primary to high school can be a time of excitement and new experiences. It can also be challenging or worrying for some students. Helping your child prepare for high school and making them feel supported will reduce the risk of disengagement from school in the future.
Here's our top tips for Year 7 students to make the giant leap into high school.
What to expect
- Relationships – your child will meet new people, make new friends, and need to re-establish their position within a peer group.
- School work – students will need to adapt to new teaching and assessment styles, cope with a wide range of subjects, adjust to having different teachers and classrooms, become responsible for their own learning, manage a heavier homework load, and learn a new, complex timetable.
- Getting around – your child will have to adjust to a new school or different part of the College, get to class on time with the correct books and materials and possibly cope with new transport arrangements.
- Adolescent developmental changes – your child will be experiencing normal developmental changes during this time (physical changes, emotional swings, an increased desire for independence). Peers will become a greater influence in their life.
How to help your child transition to high school
- Encourage your child to develop their independence by looking after their own belongings, using a diary to plan their homework and activities, and reading their timetable.
- Ensure they have everything needed to support their learning – stationery, books, bag and uniform.
- Familiarise yourself with the College's policies and procedures so you can answer questions and support your child's decision making.
- Discuss what they're most looking forward to and what they're worried about. Give your child lots of reassurance, emphasise the positives and highlight new opportunities your child will have.
- Involve your child in decision making.
After your child starts high school
- Find out who your child's tutor teacher is and make contact or ask questions.
- Create a suitable study area at home, away from television or mobile phones. If your child has access to the internet, ensure they are visiting appropriate websites.
- Assist your child in developing a homework/study plan and provide supervision and accountability of homework.
- Attend parent nights and interviews. Keep in regular contact with class teachers and support staff (email is a great way to do this).
- Encourage your child to join an extra-curricular program and make the most of all opportunities offered by the College.
- Discuss your child's achievements, results and reports with them and help them set future learning goals.
- Talk to other parents to gauge if your child's experiences and feelings are similar to those of others.
- Ensure your child gets plenty of sleep, eats well and gets regular exercise – this is important for a successful transition to high school.
- Maintain consistent routines with your child – set bedtimes and morning routines.
- Celebrate milestones with your child – the first day, first week and end of term.
Signs your child may not be coping
There may not be obvious or visible signs if things are not going well for your child. Be conscious of any changes in your child's behaviour, attitude, communication or reactions that are different to what you would normally expect.
For example, they may:
- show a lack of involvement;
- lose confidence or self-esteem;
- refuse to talk about school or friends/peers;
- have no desire to go to school or refuse to go;
- show a decline in academic performance;
- become withdrawn or display excessive behaviours; or
- become easily emotional (crying or angry at the slightest instance).
What to do if your child is having difficulties adjusting to high school
It is important you don't wait for things to improve on their own. Talk to your child to find out what the issues are. Be aware they may be reluctant to open up to you. It's also a good idea to have a discussion with your child's tutor teacher, Head of House or College Counsellor so they can assist in developing strategies to address any issues.
