University of Alberta International works in collaboration with faculties to create partnerships in training and education that share UAlberta's expertise with partners abroad through the International Projects unit.
UAlberta has extensive national and international networks of relationships at government, private sector, and civil society levels. The International Projects unit works within these networks to identify opportunities to support, enrich, and expand faculties' international activities and enhance UAlberta's international reputation for excellence in teaching, research, and global engagement.
Some UAlberta capacity building and training initiatives in Asia are:
The GALD program is a customizable global academic leadership and professional development program for cohorts of employees from government and education sectors delivered by the University of Alberta.
Since 2012, over 600 Chinese university administrators and professors from more than 200 different institutions have participated in the GALD program at UAlberta with sponsorship from the China Scholarship Council (CSC). Many GALD participants have been promoted into senior level positions at their home universities following completion of the program. They have become ambassadors of UAlberta and the province of Alberta in China.
Since 2001, the Dept. of Secondary Education has provided foreign language pedagogy training to over 1,000 English teachers from the Japanese province of Hokkaido through a project called the Hokkaido Teachers of English Program (HTEP). The program was initiated as a cooperative effort among the Government of Alberta, the Department of Secondary Education in UAlberta's Faculty of Education, and the Hokkaido Board of Education. It is led by Dr. Olenka Bilash, Professor at the Department of Secondary Education. Previously cohorts of teachers came to UAlberta for training during the summer; however, training is currently provided in Hokkaido.
In 2017 and 2018, University of Alberta International (UAI) partnered with Agriteam Canada on the implementation of their "Strengthening Extractive Sector Management in Mongolia" (SESMIM) technical assistance project for the Government of Mongolia funded by Global Affairs Canada. UAI's role included facilitating professional short courses, regulatory review and knowledge transfer based on Canadian best practices.

Sales Force Engagement
Too many sales leaders are reporting less enthusiasm from their sales force. The real question to ask – Is your Sales Team Engaged Enough to Sell Solutions? One study we conducted found that sales reps with high levels of conviction outperformed their counterparts by 12.2%.
It Is Harder To Sell
With each and every solution selling training workshop that we deliver, we hear tales of how much harder it is these days for sales teams to succeed – both internally and externally. Not only is the global economy more complex and intertwined but the local sales landscape has also shifted. More and more customers are buying differently – they are better informed, expect more and arrive farther along in their buying process when they finally connect with a sales rep.
Has Your Sales Team Adjusted?
Many sales teams have not adjusted well to this new way of selling complex solutions. As a result, their sales reps are having a difficult time differentiating their offerings and selling unique solutions or value. The lack of enthusiasm you observe in your sales force is the result of their becoming disengaged due to:
The sooner you can harness the full potential of your sales force by upgrading their ability to meet today's challenges, the more enthusiastic and engaged they will be. So, is your sales team engaged enough?
How to Measure Sales Team Engagement
Our employee engagement survey uses three main drivers to measure sales force engagement.
Sales Team Are More Disengaged on Average
Would it surprise you to know that having your sales team engaged is not the norm? Our employee engagement research shows that sales forces consistently lag behind almost all organizational functions in terms of advocacy, discretionary effort and intent to stay. Why? Because high performing sales professionals typically have exceedingly high expectations regarding:
If those expectations are not satisfied, salespeople are at a high risk for disengagement.
The Correlation Between Engagement and Sales
As the growth engine and face of an organization, companies cannot afford to have a disengaged sales force. For every drop in advocacy, discretionary effort and intent to stay, there is a corresponding and direct drop in sales productivity. While the rate of sales productivity decline varies by company and industry, on average, a 10% drop in engagement equates to a 4% drop in sales productivity. This does not even include the hard and soft costs associated with the related sales turnover.
Three Steps to Improve Salesforce Engagement
Sales leaders and managers cannot afford to disregard employee engagement as an "HR Thing." It is a revenue growth, sales productivity and customer satisfaction thing. If you are concerned about sales engagement and performance, here are three steps we recommend you take:
1. Revisit Your Sales Strategy
Effective sales strategies are aligned with the overall corporate strategy. Once that alignment is in place, effective go-to-market sales strategies clearly and compellingly outline four areas that should lead to superior sales performance:
An unclear sales strategy blurs priorities and trade-offs for sales teams. Unfortunately, most sales teams have just enough of a game plan to stay in the game – but not to win it. It is difficult to consistently meet sales targets without a clear and meaningful direction. Yet many sales teams are moving too quickly to create and clearly articulate the basics of a solid sales strategy other than quarterly revenue targets.
Some sales leaders say they do not have the time. Others think sales targets combined with pressure and hard work should be enough. But when you ask sales teams, strategic ambiguity reigns. Unfortunately the lack of strategic sales clarity not only hampers short-term sales performance and employee engagement but also long-term sales team health.
You will know you are on the right path when your sales team thinks that your sales strategy is clear enough, believable enough and implementable enough to move forward.
RELATED: Benchmark Your Sales Strategy to See Where You Stand
2. Revisit Your Sales Culture
Once your sales strategy is clear, it is time to examine your sales culture – how things truly get done. We believe that it is a sales leader's responsibility to create the circumstances that stimulate improved performance from their sales force. So how does a sales leader create a sales culture that significantly improves revenue, margin, win-rate, deal size, etc.?
To create a high performance sales culture, be fierce about making sure that every customer-facing person and process knows how they are expected to behave to best execute the sales strategy in terms of customer intimacy, your approach to the market, risk tolerance, decision-making, and results. Then make sure that the following high performance sales components make sense for your strategy and the plan to make it happen:
3. Revisit Your Sales Talent
Once your sales culture is aligned with your sales strategy, it is time to attract, develop, engage and retain the top sales talent that fits your unique culture and strategy by:

Domain forms an essential part of any business in our digital age. A domain name serves as a brand name for a startup and its importance to select it very carefully.
A good domain must contain a specific set of elements that would make it more investor-friendly. A vague domain for a startup would signify a startup's layback approach towards the digital revolution, making it investor repellant.
How to make sure that your startup domain is investor-friendly?
A domain name is considered to be the most critical digital asset owned by a company, especially in a time where you are one Google search away from your potential clients.
The Startup India initiative came a few years ahead of India's Digital Revolution that converted India into the age of digital Millenials.
Investing in premium domain names is your shortcut to finding investor-friendly domains. Best business in India buys premium domains that hold instant branding, a secure domain history, a keyword with high search ranking, short, memorable, traffic-induced keyword, etc.
Note: You can buy exclusively formulated premium domain names along with pre-designed templates at KillerLaunch.
Elements of a Good Startup Domain Name
Investing in a good domain name is like investing in a profitable real-estate venture. If you buy the right domain, chances of you doubling the value of your domain are high.
To find the right domain for your startup, it is necessary to ensure that it covers the following elements:
1. Is short and catchy
A domain name must be short and catchy for its audience to grasp. If you have a short domain name, people will remember it easily, and if you have a catchy domain name, it will stick to their memory in the long run.
For example, Olx.com is a domain that comprises of 3 characters and can be remembered by any individual instantly.
2. Is brandable
Instead of laying your eyes on generic domain names, try leaning towards brandable domain names. A domain name must be selected in a way that whenever an individual hears the name, he directly thinks about the brand and not the thing.
For example, if I start to take the name Apple, the majority of the audience will start thinking about the Steve Jobs firm rather than the apple 'fruit'.
3. Has a .com extension
A domain with a dot com extension is considered to be more SEO friendly, which makes it easier to ranks over other extensions like .io.
Additionally, individuals often use '.com' as a permanent website extension sub-consciously.
4. Easy to type
A good domain name must not contain a name that is difficult to type for the usual audience. Try to use a name that is easy-to-spell and doesn't confuse the users.
5. Easy to remember
A good domain name must be easy-to-remember, which brings us back to its element of catchiness. The easier it is to remember a domain, the more people will talk about it, bring in customers directly through word of mouth.
6. Avoid using hyphens or numbers
Avoid the usage of hyphens and numbers in your domain name as it might confuse the users, resulting in wrong searches for the domain. Ensure that your domain is simple and contains alphabets only.
7. Related to your startup
Ensure that you make use of a good domain name that is related to your startup. For example, if you're startup deals in providing online internships and jobs service to its users, the domain name hiredd.com can do wonders.
Overall, ensure you are able to fulfill most of these elements given above to make the domain name for your startup investor-friendly. An investor will only look for a brandable domain name that holds the capability of doing well in the long run with its intelligent digital services.

This article will show you how to read the rules of NFL playoff promotion. You've seen it in the closing game of tomorrow's season!
The 2018 season NFL regular season has ended 16 weeks of competition, followed by the final week of the official battle, the playoff seats will be fully determined. There are many uncertainties in the ranking of the regular season, especially on the side of the League of America. Ranking rules have also sparked widespread discussion among fans. Today, before the finals of the regular season, let's reorganize the rules of the NFL playoff seats and see how they are allocated.
I. Playoff Seat Allocation
It's understandable that teams rank according to their performance. However, the NFL has a special point, that is, it depends on not only the competition area ranking, but also the League ranking. NFL is divided into two federations, the United States Federation and the League of Nations. Each Federation has four tournament areas in the southeast, northwest and four teams in each tournament area. Many fans may already be familiar with this. Playoff seats, the first allocation is the top of each division. The No. 1-4 seeds of the two federations must be the top of the competition area. This explains why the Los Angeles Blitzkrieg outperformed the New England Patriots, Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens in the current league rankings, but ranked behind them because they are currently the top three teams in their respective division, while the Blitzkrieg is the second in the Western Division.
After eliminating the championship in each competition area, the remaining two playoff places, namely "wild card", do not need to look at the results of the competition area, cheap jerseys usa but in the same federation, all the teams that "did not win the competition area championship" are put together and ranked according to the results. This is easier to understand, and I will not repeat it here.
So it can be imagined that under this rule, every division guarantees at least one team to qualify for the playoffs, but there are only three teams at most, that is, one division champion and two wildcards, and there will be no four teams to qualify for the playoffs.
The rule is that the champions of each division must be in the playoffs, that is to say, no matter how bad the champion's performance is, as long as they are first in the division, they can be in the playoffs. Historically, there have been some amazing examples of such rules. The Southern District of the League of Nations in the 2014 season is a typical example. At that time, the Carlolina Panthers were only 7-8-1, which led them to the playoffs when they lost more than they won. What is more amazing is that they eliminated the Arizona Cardinals jerseys in the wildcard game, which was much better than their Arizona Cardinals. 。
This involves another rule – the competition for home advantage. In the NFL game jerseys, where the playoffs play at home depends entirely on which side has a high seed seat. Therefore, the district champion can not only ensure the playoffs, but also ensure that at least one playoff is played at home. In the example mentioned above, the 7-win Panthers beat the 11-win Cardinals at home.
2. Teams in the same competition area have the same results as those in other competition areas.
Finally, when teams from the same competition area have the same results as other teams from different competition areas, it is necessary to first see who is the first team in the same competition area, and then compare with teams from different competition areas. As mentioned earlier, the ponies, the Titans and the Steelers may all have a 9-6-1 draw. At this time, the pony and the Titan are compared first with the team in the competition area. The pony will win by the win-lose relationship. So the Steelman just needs to be in front of the pony. Only when a steelman's score is not as good as a pony's does it need to be compared with Titan's.
These are NFL playoff seating rules and scoring methods. Tomorrow is the end of the regular season. What rules will be used then? We will wait and see.

Costa Rica PayrollReading Time: 2 minutes
Costa Rica is a rugged country in Central America containing rainforests and beaches on the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. Expanding to this beautiful country is an exciting decision for your company, but there are necessary factors to consider for your new location to be successful. You must assess your Costa Rica payroll options, set up your payroll, and ensure complete compliance.
Globalization Partners can help with our Costa Rica payroll outsourcing services. We use our Employer of Record platform to run your payroll, ensuring you stay compliant so you can focus on growing your business.
Payroll Taxation Rules
Costa Rica has a social security system called the Caja, which gives employees free healthcare, sick leave, disability pensions, and retirement benefits. As an employer, you are required to register all employees with the Caja and contribute about 34.5% of their salary. Employees must contribute 9.5%.
Employers also need to make sure employees are registered to pay personal income tax. Costa Rica uses a progressive income tax scale that goes up to 15%. Companies also use a progressive scale for corporate income tax that fluctuates based on profits. Depending on what you earn in a year, you could owe up to 30%.
Costa Rica Payroll Options
You have four main Costa Rica payroll options:
- Internal: Operating an internal payroll can help larger companies demonstrate their commitment to Costa Rica. However, you will need a bigger budget to hire a full HR team.
- Remote: If you'd rather have one payroll for all your employees in Costa Rica and the parent company, you can use remote payroll run out of your parent company. The different sets of employees will have separate employment laws to follow.
- Costa Rica payroll processing company: A processing company is a solution to outsourcing your payroll, but you will still have to handle compliance.
- Globalization Partners: Choosing Globalization Partners will help you outsource your payroll and take the burden of compliance off your shoulders.
What Do You Need to Set up Your Costa Rica Payroll
Before you set up your Costa Rica payroll, you have to establish a subsidiary in the country. The process to set up a subsidiary can take weeks or months depending on where you incorporate and what type of entity you choose. However, it's a necessary step before you can hire employees, run payroll, and start operating in Costa Rica.
Globalization Partners lets you skip this step. We use our existing subsidiary in Costa Rica to hire employees on your behalf, set up your Costa Rica payroll, and help you stay compliant.
Necessary Entitlement and Termination Terms
We recommend outlining certain entitlement and termination terms in an employment contract before setting up your Costa Rica payroll. Termination can be difficult in Costa Rica, and you need to terminate employees based on a cause included in Article 81 of the Labor Code. As the employer, you carry the burden of proof that you terminated an employee for cause.
Choose Globalization Partners
Globalization Partners is the Costa Rica payroll outsourcing solution you need to succeed in your expansion. Contact us today to learn more.

Kalista's Abilities
If Kalista enters a movement command while winding her basic attack or Pierce, she will drive through that direction when she launches her attack, dashing a short distance. The distance traveled scales with bonus movement speed.
Additionally, Kalista begins the game with a unique item, The Black Spear.
The Black Spear - Active: Kalista offers a pact to an allied champion. Should they agree, the item is consumed and binds them together, turning the target into an Oathsworn ally for the remainder of the game. Kalista requires an Oathsworn ally to utilize Sentinel's Soul-Marked and Fate's Call.
If Pierce scores a kill, the spear will continue onward, passing all Rend stacks from the dead victim to the next enemy it hits.
Active: Kalista commands a soul sentinel to the target location within range, gaining sight in a ~450-length cone in front of it. The sentinel's sight is obstructed by terrain and brush. Upon reaching the target location, it will return to a point within ~1400 units of cast location. The sentinel will perform a total of 3 laps, including the first two lengths. The sentinel is vulnerable from behind and will die if attacked twice by an enemy champion or once by a tower. If the sentinel spots an enemy champion it will scream and stalk them for the next 4 seconds, revealing them for the duration.
Kalista stores a charge of Sentinel every 90 / 80 / 70 / 60 / 50 seconds, and can store up to 2 charges.
Active: Kalista rips all spears from nearby enemies, dealing 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 (+0.6 per attack damage) physical damage and slowing them by 10 / 18 / 26 / 34 / 42% for 2 seconds. Rend's damage is increased by 5 / 9 / 14 / 20 / 27 (+20 / 23.75 / 27.5 / 31.25 / 35% attack damage) for every spear beyond the first that Kalista ripped from them. Rend deals 50% reduced damage to epic monsters.
Killing an enemy with Rend restores 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 mana and refunds the cooldown.
During Fate's Call, Kalista's Oathsworn can right-click a target location to dash there, stopping at the first enemy hit, knocking up all surrounding enemies and landing themselves at their maximum attack range from the target.

Latest Questions
Crits on wierd ADC's
So, for these champions how do crits work? How do Infinity Edge Crits work? I figure for something like a Jinx Rocket Launcher or Senna Relic Cannon Crit, It would take the AD ratio (110 or 120) and just double it (220 or 240). I don't know tho....
Lethal Tempol is Good For kalista ?
Would Devourer stack Kalista's Pierce passive twice?
Kalista jungle probably isn't a good idea, but if you can stack spears faster, that would be pretty strong.
Where is the Passive Target assist on Kalista?

How is Runaan's Hurricane viable on Kalista?
The past few games I've played with and against a few [[kalista]]s, and all of them rushed [[runaan's hurricane]] as their first or second item. Someone told me it's the best item on her since its applies [[rend]]. I'm a tad confused on the logic...

text: Posted January 26, 2017 This post is just to share something I recently found out, and which caused frustration before I knew (credit to Evening (CA Channel) for this advice): When you want to move stuff like forges, beds, ovens, crates and so on to upper floors from a bottom floor, Build a ladder. Not a staircase. Not a hole in the floor. ONLY A LADDER WILL WORK. Load your stuff into a wagon and park it directly under the ladder. Go up the ladder, and then embark the wagon from the floor you want your stuff to go to. The whole wagon, animals and all, will move to upper floor where you embarked from (through the ladder). Now ride your wagon around upstairs, and unload your stuff where you want it. When ready to go downstairs again, park the wagon directly over the ladder. Unhitch your animals. Go down the ladder, haul the unhitched wagon downstairs with a rope. Go upstairs again, hitch the animals to your wagon (which is now downstairs) through the hole of the ladder. The animals will appear hitched to the wagon on the bottom floor. This method is great for moving whole wagons full of stuff upstairs, and getting empty wagon down again. On a different note, and in case someone missed this gem: There was a recent change which allows loading full wagons, carts, bsbs and fsbs. You can also drag full drafts and chests between wagons or carts. Great news 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angela Strassheim
Left Behind
Marvelli Gallery
Political art, it goes without saying, is oppositional art. But the exhibition Left Behind, Angela Strassheim's series of large-scale C-prints at Marvelli Gallery, deals with a hot-button topic, the Christian right, without attempting to reassure its likely audience of its own enlightenment. Instead, Strassheim's solo debut offers a troubling, nuanced, and dispassionate view of the deeply human need to construct a belief system against the pitiless vagaries of life and death.
Strassheim comes from a born-again Christian family in Minnesota. According to the exhibition's press release, the title Left Behind refers not only to the "unsaved" souls left behind after the Rapture has transported the faithful into heaven but also to "the memory and evidence people create that outlives them." Portraits of the artist's family are "juxtaposed with images of domestic narratives, inspired by childhood and adult life experiences." The press release adds that Strassheim's "obsessively careful compositions and lighting" were developed from her experience as a certified forensic photographer.
The images, all untitled, are resolutely open ended: a man combs a boy's hair in a bathroom mirror; a young girl rests on a bed, gazing skyward, arms outstretched; another girl, with strawberry blond hair and a pretty pink dress, stands tiptoe on a windowsill, searching the outdoors for—what? The Rapture? A bespectacled granny lies in an über-pink coffin. Is she left behind, or is she saved? Is anyone portrayed here among the elect? And what of Strassheim's cryptic reference to "the memory and evidence people create"—is it an accusation or a lament?
As in Ingmar Bergman's film The Silence, we're as likely to know the landscape of each other's souls as we are to comprehend the mind of God. The photographs' formal perfection—their clean, luminous color, meticulous detail, and relentless symmetry—belie the forbidden sensuality throbbing beneath their honeyed surfaces. The pictures of children are especially disturbing. They embody the tendency of the religious right to fetishize innocence, interpreting a child's simplicity as the perfect spiritual state ("Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven"). But this adult/child convergence feels a hair's breadth from the sexualization of childhood. In the photograph of the strawberry blonde looking out the window, her dress barely covers the curve of her buttocks, let alone her long downy legs. The girl reclining on the bed seems to be greeting an imaginary lover. And the man grooming the boy in the bathroom mirror seems frozen in the cold, hard light—or is the scrupulous symmetry of the composition locking down his desire? A roll of toilet paper in the corner (which wouldn't be there, in light of the artist's perfectionism, if not for a reason) seems to suggest that besmirchment's just a swipe away.
Are we in the presence of a heroic resistance to temptation or a hypocritical stench? Whatever our bias, the fact remains that these people are the artist's family, and it seems unlikely that she'd be able to enlist their participation without a mutual love and respect. Not to mention trust. In one viscerally distressing image, a pretty, demurely smiling young woman sits on a carpeted floor in a white satin slip, under which she's tucked her hideously deformed feet. Yet there isn't even a whiff of exploitation—in fact, what's most striking about the photo is the woman's self-possession and inner peace. Has her faith helped her surmount her disfigurement? We'll never know; the picture's untitled.
Strassheim's use of symmetry appears to be a metaphor for the strict control her subjects exercise over their lives. This may feel repellent to freethinkers, but isn't the beauty we find in symmetry derived from the comfort we take in its certitudes? And doesn't the demolition of any dearly held article of faith—religious, political, social, or philosophical—have the potential to be psychologically devastating?
In a stark departure from the other images, Strassheim jettisons the symmetry that governs the series to drive home her most explicit point. A naked woman (nude would be too genteel) sprawls provocatively across an unmade bed, confronting the viewer with her dark patch of pubic hair and the grimy sole of her left foot. Her puke-flecked cheeks and an overturned pharmaceutical vial indicate suicide. The woman's dirty foot (do we dare pun on soiled soul?) brings to mind Caravaggio's filthy-footed worshippers in the Madonna of the Pilgrims, which so shocked the pious of its day. Just as the devotional classicism of the Quattrocento—undermined by rampant Church corruption and riven by the Reformation—gave way to Caravaggio's borderline-heretical, savagely off-kilter canvases, this image signals the mental and spiritual shambles that remain after a rigid orthodoxy is splintered by the seams of doubt.

On the day I visited Arthur Jafa's exhibition at the Julia Stoschek Collection, Berlin, there was a woman dancing in the gallery. She hugged the left-hand wall of the second room, jerking her hips from side to side as if she were in one of the city's many nightclubs.

Plastic Free Letchworth Launch Weekend
Transition Town Letchworth publicly launched the Plastic Free Letchworth project in the town centre on Earth Weekend (21st and 22nd April 2018). We were in the town centre letting shoppers know about the challenges the town has to meet to achieve the Surfers Against Sewage Plastic Free Letchworth award.
Local shops Bamboo Turtle and Fairhaven provided sample 'plastic free' goods for displaying at the event and the team shared ideas with shoppers on how to reduce their use of plastics. Shoppers were invited to pledge to reduce or remove a particular plastic from their daily lives and those making a pledge were rewarded with an 'I support a Plastic Free Letchworth' cloth shopping bag. Seventy-four people posted a pledge to make a change, with the most popular changes identified being to reduce the plastic used in kitchens and to stop buying bottled water. Letchworth BID provided the cloth shopping bags.
The stall was busy all morning with people who are already making changes to reduce their use of plastics and others who were keen to make changes. Its heartening to know that so many people want to see a reduction in the use of plastics. During the morning Sir Oliver Heald MP came to visit the stall and made his pledge.
During the launch event a large sculpture in the shape of a water bottle was made from single use plastic bottles, giving a visual illustration of the large volumes of plastic waste that we have in our lives. A message that was re-enforced when bags of waste, much of it plastic, were collected from Hillbrow play area at the Plastic Free Letchworth litter pick, which took place on Sunday to mark Earth Day. We picked a total of 15 large sacks plus scooter parts! Five of the 15 bags was recycling and has been recycled in a household grey bin. We also found and returned a lost mobile phone! Quite a lot for a play area that at first glance didn't look too dirty.

Awadh (Awadhi, Hindi: अवध, Urdu: اودھ ), known in British historical texts as Oudh or Oude, all derived from Ayodhya, is a region in the centre of the modern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, which was before independence known as the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh. It was established around 1722 AD with Faizabad as its capital and Saadat Ali Khan as its first Nawab and progenitor of Nawabs of Awadh. The traditional capital of Awadh had originally been Faizabad, but it was later moved to Lucknow, which serves as the present-day capital of Uttar Pradesh.
The modern definition of Awadh geographically includes the districts of Ambedkar Nagar, Bahraich, Balrampur, Barabanki, Faizabad, Gonda, Hardoi, Lakhimpur Kheri, Lucknow, Pratapgarh, Raebareli, Shravasti, Sitapur, Sultanpur and Unnao from Awadh and Kanpur, Kanpur Dehat, Fatehpur, Kaushambi and Allahabad from Lower Doab. A strip of the northern areas of the region, i.e., parts of Terai area (Inner Terai and Outer Terai), now lies within Nepal (Tulsipur Dang) and main parts of Gorakhpur district. The region is home to a distinct dialect, Awadhi, spoken by Awadhis.
Awadh, known as the granary of India, was important strategically for the control of the fertile plain between the Ganges and the Yamuna rivers known as the Doab. It was a wealthy kingdom, able to maintain its independence against threats from the Marathas, the British and the Afghans.
Since 1350 AD different parts of the Awadh region were ruled by the Delhi Sultanate, Sharqi Sultanate, Mughal Empire, Nawabs of Awadh, East India Company and the British Raj. Lucknow was one of the major centres of Indian rebellion of 1857, participated actively in India's Independence movement, and emerged as an important city of North India. For about eighty-four years (from 1394 to 1478) Awadh was part of the Sharqi Sultanate of Jaunpur; Emperor Humayun made it a part of the Mughal Empire around 1555. During Emperor Jehangir's rule, he granted an estate in Awadh to a nobleman, Sheik Abdul Rahim, who had won his favour. Sheik Abdul Rahim later built Machchi Bhawan in this estate; this later became the seat of power from where his descendants, the Sheikhzades, controlled the region. Until 1719, Subah of Awadh was a province of the Mughal Empire administered by a Nazim or Nawab (Governor) appointed by the Emperor. Nawab – the plural of the Arabic word 'naib', meaning 'assistant' – was the term given to governors appointed by the Mughal emperor all over India to assist him in managing the Empire. In the absence of expeditious transport and communication facilities, they were practically independent rulers of their territory and wielded the power of life and death over their subjects. Saadat Khan also called Burhan-ul-Mulk a Persian adventurer was appointed the Nazim of Awadh in 1722 and he established his court in Faizabad[1] near Lucknow. The Nawabs of Lucknow were in fact the Nawabs of Awadh, but were so referred to because after the reign of the third Nawab, Lucknow became the capital of their realm. The city was North India's cultural capital; its nawabs, best remembered for their refined and extravagnt lifestyles, were patrons of the arts. Under them music and dance flourished, and many monuments were erected.[2] Of the monuments standing today, the Bara Imambara, the Chhota Imambara, and the Rumi Darwaza are notable examples. One of the more lasting contributions by the Nawabs is the syncretic composite culture that has come to be known as the Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb.
Awadh's political unity can be traced back to the ancient Hindu kingdom of Kosala, with Ayodhya as its capital. Modern Awadh finds historical mention only in the time of Akbar, in the late 16th century.
In prehistoric times, Awadh, reputedly the kingdom of Rama, contained five main divisions:[3]
From the pre-historic period to the time of Akbar, the limits of the province and its internal divisions seem to have been constantly changing, and the name of Oudh, or Awadh, seems to have been applicable to only one of the ancient divisions or Sarkars, nearly corresponding to old Pachhimrath. The title of Subedar of Awadh is mentioned as early as 1280 A.D., but it can only have denoted the governor of the tract of the country above defined. The Awadh of Akbar was one of the twelve (or fifteen) subahs into which he divided the Mughal Empire as it stood in the year 1590 A.D. As constituted at the end of sixteenth century, the Subah contained five sarkars, viz. Awadh, Lucknow, Bahraich, Khairabad and Gorakhpur, and these, again were divided in numerous mahals and dasturs.
Khan Zaman Khan Ali Asghar son of Qazi Ghulam Mustafa was appointed as Subahdar of Awadh during the reign of Farrukhsiyar. This appointment was made in place of 'Aziz Khan Chughtai'.[4] Later on, Mahabat Khan was appointed as Subahdar of Awadh in place of Khan Zaman Khan Ali Asghar who was all over again transferred to Azimabad (Patna) as Subahdar in place of 'Sar Buland Khan'.[5]
It seems to have been of nearly the same extent as the Province of Oudh at the time of annexation to British India in 1858, and to have differed only in including Gorakhpur, Basti, and Azamgarh, and in excluding Tanda, Aldemau, Rajesultanpur and Manikpur, or the territory to the east and South of Faizabad, Sultanpur, and Pratapgarh.[6]
As the Mughal power declined and the emperors lost their paramountcy and they became first the puppets and then the prisoners of their feudatories, so Awadh grew stronger and more independent. Its capital city was Faizabad. Saadat Khan, the first Nawab of Awadh, laid the foundation of Faizabad at the outskirt of ancient city of Ayodhya. Faizabad developed as a township during the reign of Safdar Jang, the second nawab of Avadh (1739–54), who made it his military headquarters while his successor Shuja-ud-daula made it a full-fledged capital city. Suja-ud-daula, the third Nawab of Awadh, built a fort known as Chhota Calcutta, now in ruins. In 1765 he built the Chowk and Tirpaulia and subsequently laid out the Anguribagh and Motibagh to the south of it, Asafbagh and Bulandbagh to the west of the city. During the reign of Shuja-Ud-Daula, Faizabad attained such a prosperity which it never saw again. The Nawabs graced Faziabad with several beautiful buildings, notable among them being the Gulab Bari, Moti Mahal and the tomb of Bahu Begum. Gulab Bari is a striking building of fine properties, standing in a garden surrounded by a wall, approachable through two large gateways. These buildings are particularly interesting for their assimilative architectural styles. Shuja-ud-daula's wife was the well known Bahu Begum, who married the Nawab in 1743 and continued to reside in Faizabad, her residence being the Moti-Mahal. Close by at Jawaharbagh lies her Maqbara, where she was buried after her death in 1816. It is considered to be one of the finest buildings of its kind in Awadh, which was built at the cost of three lakh rupees by her chief advisor Darab Ali Khan. A fine view of the city is obtainable from top of the begum's tomb. Bahu Begum was a woman of great distinction and rank, bearing dignity. Most of the Muslim buildings of Faizabad are attributed to her. From the date of Bahu Begum's death in 1815 till the annexation of Avadh, the city of Faizabad gradually fell into decay. The glory of Faizabad finally eclipsed with the shifting of capital from Faizabad to Lucknow by Nawab Asaf-ud-daula.[7]
The Nawabs of Awadh were a Persian Shia Muslim dynasty from Nishapur,[8][9] who not only encouraged the existing Persian-language belle-lettrist activity to shift from Delhi, but also invited, and received, a steady stream of scholars, poets, jurists, architects, and painters from Iran.[10] Thus Persian was used in government, in academic instruction, in high culture, and in court,.[10]
Saadat Khan Burhanul Mulk was appointed Nawab in 1722 and established his court in Faizabad[11] near Lucknow. He took advantage of a weakening Mughal Empire in Delhi to lay the foundation of the Awadh dynasty. His successor was Safdarjung the very influential noble at the Mughal court in Delhi. Until 1819, Awadh was a province of the Mughal Empire administered by a Nawab.
Awadh was known as the granary of India and was important strategically for the control of the Doab, the fertile plain between the Ganges and the Yamuna rivers. It was a wealthy kingdom, able to maintain its independence against threats from the Marathas, the British and the Afghans.
The third Nawab, Shuja-ud-Daula fell out with the British after aiding Mir Qasim the fugitive Nawab of Bengal. He was comprehensively defeated in the Battle of Buxar by the British East India Company, after which he was forced to pay heavy penalties and cede parts of his territory. The British appointed a resident in 1773, and over time gained control of more territory and authority in the state. They were disinclined to capture Awadh outright, because that would bring them face to face with the Marathas and the remnants of the Mughal Empire.
Asaf-ud-Daula, the fourth Nawab and son of Shuja-ud-Daula, moved the capital from Faizabad to Lucknow in 1775 and laid the foundation of a great city. His rule saw the building of the Asafi Imambara and Rumi Darwaza, built by Raja Tikait Rai Nawab Wazir (Diwan) of Awadh, which till date are the biggest architectural marvels in the city. Asaf-ud-Daula made Lucknow one of the most prosperous and glittering cities in all India. It is said, he moved because he wanted to get away from the control of a dominant mother. On such a thread did the fate of the great city of Lucknow depend.
In 1798, the fifth Nawab Wazir Ali Khan alienated both his people and the British, and was forced to abdicate. The British then helped Saadat Ali Khan to the throne. Saadat Ali Khan was a puppet king, who in the treaty of 1801 ceded half of Awadh to the British East India Company and also agreed to disband his troops in favour of a hugely expensive, British-run army. This treaty effectively made part of the state of Awadh a vassal to the British East India Company, though they continued to be part of the Mughal Empire in name till 1819.
Coins were struck under the nawab's control for the first time in 1737, at a new mint opened in Banaras, although the coins named the Mughal emperor, not the nawab.[12] After the Battle of Buxar, the British seized Banaras, and so the mint was moved in 1776 to Lucknow. From there, coins in the name of the Mughal emperor continued to be struck, and they continued to name Muhammadabad Banaras as the mint. It was only in 1819 that Nawab Ghaziuddin Haidar finally started to strike coins in his own name. Soon thereafter, Awadhi coins started to feature the kingdom's European style coat of arms.
The wars and transactions in which Shuja-ud-Daula was engaged, both with and against the British East India Company, led to the addition of Karra, Allahabad, Fatehgarh, Kanpur, Etawah, Mainpuri, Farrukhabad, Rohilkhand, to the Oudh dimensions, and thus they remained until the treaty of 1801 with Saadat Ali Khan, by which province was reduced considerably as half of Oudh was ceded to the British East India Company. Khairigarh, Kanchanpur, and what is now the Nepal Terai were ceded in 1816, in liquidation of Ghazi ud din Haider's loan of a million sterling towards the expense of Nepal War; and at the same time pargana of Nawabganj was added to Gonda district in exchange for Handia, or Kawai, which was transferred from Pratapgarh to Allahabad.[6]
The treaty of 1801 formed an arrangement that was very beneficial to the Company. They were able to use Awadh's vast treasuries, repeatedly digging into them for loans at reduced rates. In addition, the revenues from running Awadh's armed forces brought them useful revenues while it acted as a buffer state. The Nawabs were ceremonial kings, busy with pomp and show but with little influence over matters of state. By the mid-19th century, however, the British had grown impatient with the arrangement and wanted direct control. They started looking about for an excuse, which the decadent Nawabs readily provided.
In 1856 the East India Company annexed the state under the Doctrine of Lapse, which was placed under a Chief Commissioner. Wajid Ali Shah, the then Nawab, was imprisoned, and then exiled by the Company to Calcutta. In the subsequent Revolt of 1857 his 14-year-old son Birjis Qadra son of Begum Hazrat Mahal was crowned ruler, and Sir Henry Lawrence killed in the hostilities.
In the Indian Rebellion of 1857 (also known as the First War of Indian Independence and the Indian Mutiny), the rebels took control of Awadh, and it took the British 18 months to reconquer the region, months which included the famous Siege of Lucknow.
The Tarai to the north of Bahraich including large quantity of valuable forest and grazing ground, was made over to the Nepal Darbar in 1860, in recognition of their services during the Revolt of 1857, and in 1874 some further cessions, on a much smaller scale, but without any apparent reason, were made in favour of the same Government.[6]
In 1877 the offices of lieutenant-governor of the North-Western Provinces and chief commissioner of Oudh were combined in the same person; and in 1902, when the new name of United Provinces of Agra and Oudh was introduced, the title of chief commissioner was dropped, though Oudh still retained some marks of its former independence.
The region of Awadh is considered to be the center of Ganga-Jamuni culture.[13]
Sham-e-Awadh is a famous term popular for glorious evenings in Awadh capitals Faizabad and later in greater extent to Lucknow even today the evening of Lucknow is unique. Awadh was established in 1722 AD. with Faizabad as its capital. Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula's son Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula, the fourth Nawab of Awadh, shifted the capital from Faizabad to Lucknow; this led to decline to Faizabad and glory to Lucknow.
Just as Banares (Varanasi) is famous for its morning, Lucknow is famous for evenings. Many of famous building were made on bank of river Gomti in time of Nawabs. You can view its architectural beauty taking a trip in river Gomti in evening time. Nawabs also used to take a view of river at the evening time, so why Sham-e-Awadh is so romantic.[14]
There is a saying: 'Sham-e-Awadh, Shubah-e-Benares' meaning evening of Awadh and morning of Benares (Varanasi) are unique.
Awadhi Cuisine is primarily from the city of Lucknow and its environs. The cooking patterns of the city are similar to those of Central Asia, the Middle East, and Northern India as well. The cuisine consists of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Awadh has been greatly influenced by Mughal cooking techniques, and the cuisine of Lucknow bears similarities to those of Kashmir, Punjab and Hyderabad; and the city is famous for its Nawabi foods.
The bawarchis and rakabdars of Awadh gave birth to the dum style of cooking or the art of cooking over a slow fire, which has become synonymous with Lucknow today.[15] Their spread would consist of elaborate dishes like kebabs, kormas, biryani, kaliya, nahari-kulchas, zarda, sheermal,Taftan, roomali rotis and warqi parathas. The richness of Awadh cuisine lies not only in the variety of cuisine but also in the ingredients used like mutton, paneer, and rich spices including cardamom and saffron.
The events surrounding the 1856 overthrow of Wajid Ali Shah and the annexation of Awadh by the British are depicted in the 1977 film The Chess Players by the acclaimed Indian director Satyajit Ray. This film is based on famous Urdu story Shatranj Ke Khilari by the great Hindi-Urdu novelist writer Munshi Premchand.
The movies of Umrao Jaan are based on two cultural cities of Awadh Lucknow and Faizabad.
The region has been in the center of various period films of Bollywood and modern films like Main, Meri Patni Aur Woh and Paa to name a few. It has also been shot in various songs of Bollywood.

Skip to 0 minutes and 0 seconds I've never been very good at sitting still so this Fidget-Spinner is perfect for me. Legend has it that it was invented by a woman in the United States who created something similar called the Finger Spinner to keep her daughter quiet. The Finger Spinner was a good idea and the woman inventor filed a patent some years ago. Unfortunately, it never really caught on and no one bought it and it just, kind of, faded away. Some years later, films began to appear on social media of something very similar to the Finger Spinner and they went instantly viral. The Fidget-Spinner as it was then called, became a success. Millions of these spinners were sold making many entrepreneurial producers and online resellers a fortune.
Skip to 0 minutes and 0 seconds The one person who never saw a cent was the woman inventor who came up with the original idea. You've been with us for the past week and we hope that you've found the course interesting, enjoyable and will continue to study.

text: Two major super markets have removed the Mountain Dew products immediately out of their stores. This happened when a Dutch food organisation noticed that the Mountain Dew products contained brominated vegetable oil. The organisation states that brominated vegetable oil can cause heart problems, behavior changes and reduced fertility, another shocking fact is that it is also used to slow down fire burn rates.

In 1997 when Bluewater president Paul Skilowitz left the world of oceangoing yacht design and construction, he didn't leave all of that knowledge behind to begin a career building fishing boats, he applied the same principles of yacht building to this new endeavor. For starters, a quick look around the deck on the Bluewater 355 reveals finish work, fine hardware, and esthetics to rival the finest boats on the water. In addition to this attention to detail you'll find an immensely balanced hull design and this is no accident. By applying carefully thought out weight distribution in the construction process the result is a boat that levels quickly and enables Bluewater to install their console farther forward than your typical center console. The net effect is a roomier cockpit which is an asset for both fishing and diving alike.
First impressions left us with the feeling that this is a very large 35-footer and that remained with us throughout our test day. The boat is also laid out with the serious blue water anglers best interest in mind. For below deck useful area, you won't find a boat this size with more insulated storage space or live baitwell capacity. Beneath the forward deck are three fish box storage compartments. The largest, at the center deck is a giant excursion sized hold that a couple of grown men could get into. Adjacent to this on both sides are a matching pair of wing boxes that would each probably hold enough fish for any reasonable anglers needs on their own. Just ahead of the console is a very deep gear storage compartment. The cockpit aft also offers four separate insulated holds each below deck and large enough to handle an insane amount of storage. The center deck hatch reveals a massive 90-gallon live well ahead of a large bilge access compartment. Across the transom is an additional 60-gallon pressurized well along with a rigging sink and cutting surface.
Among the many notable features which add convenience and comfort to the 355 are a spacious console interior with well over six feet of headroom, a stylish Corian counter/sink and electric head. Ultra-comfortable closed cell foam upholstery throughout the boat and a 3-tone color scheme from top to bottom add style. Smart details like multiple Quick-couplers throughout the deck from stem to stern for easy wash-down hookup wherever you need it are touches that bleed over from a yachting background. The Bluewater 355 represents a couple of decades' worth of experience refining their designs and improving them to meet the demands of discriminating owners as the industry evolves. This boat should leave the most discerning potential owner wanting for nothing.

Chief Minister Pema Khandu has conveyed deepest condolences on the death of a civilian in Namtok under Changlang district reportedly killed by security forces in the "Mistaken Identity".
"I have been informed that in the incident one villager Thingtu Ngemu (35) of Kongsa village has lost his life while several others have been injured. This kind of incident could have been averted through proper care and planning," Khandu, who is out of the state, said in a statement today.
On behalf of the people and the government, Khandu expressed solidarity with families of the deceased and those injured and said words would be superfluous to condole and console at the moment.
"Though no measure of compensation in kind or cash would compensate the loss, the state government is duty bound to provide ex-gratia relief according to norms to the next of kin of the deceased and assistance to the injured for the best of treatment to save their lives." He added.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister spoke to the Union Home Ministry expressing concern over the incident and sought its urgent intervention.
