Tourism & Ideology May 2000
By Manzur Ejaz
The history of the people of Pakistan is re-written while the history of the Pakistani landscape is allowed to disappear.
Unfortunately, the rich historic and artistic heritage represented by the Gandharan Buddhistic art, which manifested itself on this soil, finds only the rare connoisseur among those who have inherited the land. From recent history, Pakistan has to show Nankana Sahib, birth place of Guru Nanak, one of the holiest places for the Sikh community. In Lahore, is the capital and fort of the great Sikh king Ranjit Singh. The mountainous northern region is considered rugged and exotic—Hunza, Chitral, Baltistan—the very kind of terrain that extracts tourist dollars by the millions elsewhere in the Himalaya-Hindu Kush, from Ladakh to Nepal, Darjeeling/Sikkim, and Bhutan. Pakistan, thus, has the ´products´ to attract visitors from the West, and from Southeast and East Asia. But there is too little of them, and the tourists who move around in Pakistan today are the domestic travellers, mostly the noveau riche from Punjab and elsewhere heading up for the cool of the hills of Murree and further on. Those who would develop Pakistani tourism must realise, however, that the challenge is greater than a simple strengthening up of the tourist department. The state ideology itself is in the way of tourism. To preserve the ancient artefacts and monuments—for their own sake and for tourism—requires a certain type of societal mindset and an open-minded socio-political environment. On the one hand, the elite as well as the public at large must develop in themselves a love for the ancient heritage of the land. On the other, they must have the desire to create a welcoming environment where the foreigners feel comfortable enough to experience the ecstasy of being in a land of antiquity. Despite its corrupt ruling elite, Egypt has managed to do this. Pakistan has not. Certainly, Pakistan also lacks the kind of infrastructure that encourages tourism, including roads, railway, air facilities, hotels and the service ethos, which lies at the centre of tourism. The lawlessness is also a stumbling block, for who would want to vacation in a region where gun-touting extremists can at any time come around the corner, where religious sects go at each other with murderous intent, and where it is not extraordinary for dacoits to take hostages for ransom. Much of these perceived threats to security can be resolved by strengthening law and order, but it is the ideological mindset of the Pakistani state that does not permit the preservation and propagation of history which would "legitimise" the very heritage which would be the centrepiece of Pakistan´s ability to attract tourists. Through political orations, through schoolbooks and tomes of politically-correct history, generations of Pakistanis have been conditioned to negate this heritage, and taught instead to take pride in having roots in other parts of Asia. This includes the tendency among the elite to claim descend from migrants from the Arab-Persian shores. Although most Pakistani Muslims are indigenous to South Asia and converted to Islam at a very late stage, the history and social studies books teach that history essentially started when Mohammad Bin Qasim made landfall on Sindh in the eighth century AD. The history of the medieval period is nothing more than simplistic idealisation of the Muslim rulers of India. Students are informed about the benevolence and ingenuity of the Turk, Afghan and Mughal rulers, and even casual invaders from the north such as Mahmood Ghaznvi and Ahmad Shah Abdali et al, are idealised. In short, the history of the people is re-written while the history of the landscape is allowed to disappear. As a result, among those who define the ideology of the state, there is visceral anathema for the Indus civilisation and the great Buddhist era. Similarly, Guru Nanak is considered to be a religious leader of the enemy rather than the great reformist intellectual and poet he was. The cumulative result of this is that today the Pakistani public has no reverence for its past and no aspiration to preserve vestiges of its history. What it does not appreciate, it therefore feels no need to share with the rest of the world. In the early 1970s, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and some left leaning intellectuals, particularly Major Mohammad Ishaque of the Mazdoor Kisan Party, did try to rehabilitate the historical linkages. However, that effort did not make any headway in face of the ideological onslaught of the state, which was at that time moving swiftly towards theocracy. In the latter years, the descendants of Bhutto and Gen Zia ul Haq and other elite plundered the national historical treasures and started shipping them abroad—the sale of a Buddha statue to the Smithsonian only one of the many examples. The corrupt elite, which knows better, has been blinded by greed. It cares nothing for preserving the greatest historical sites and preserving the remnants of the long-gone eras. Members of this elite, rather than seeking long-term income for the people through tourism, do not think twice of plundering ancient sites to export artefacts to Western collectors and antique shops. A new ideological framework about history has to evolve, one which appreciates the non-Muslim heritage of present-day Pakistan even while remaining fully cognizant of the monumental contributions made by Muslims to the Indian civilisation. Like the Arabs, Iranian and other Muslim nations, we have to respect our history—all aspects of it. If Egypt can revel in and take economic advantage of its pre-Islamic past, so should Pakistan. However, if the Pakistani state remains prisoner to the present ideological parameters, and the economic elite limits itself to heartlessly allowing the plunder and destruction of ancient heritage, an industry like tourism will continue to lack space in Pakistan in the years to come. The irony in all this is that, by default, present-day India has become the heir and custodian of the Indus Valley civilisation and the ancient Buddhist civilisation of South Asia— no matter that Harappa, Mohenjodaro and Texila happen to lie across the border. Pakistanis have no one else but themselves to blame.

Penguin India withdraws The Hindus
On 11 February 2014, Penguin India decided to recall and destroy all remaining copies of Wendy Doniger's book The Hindus: An Alternative History. The decision was part of an agreement between them and Shiksha Bachao Andolan, a Hindu campaign group that filed a case against the publishers in 2010, arguing that the book was insulting to Hindus and contained "heresies".

And now it's Wednesday! Today's Three Cards.
The High Priestess...Supreme knowledge. Intuition. A woman wise beyond her years. Virtuous. Scholarly.
A father. Loving paternal qualities. A married man. Wise leader.
I see this day like this: The knight of wands (me) was ready to rush into a battle (a court hearing) and be my usual bold self...the challenge was the High Priestess (a friend) who pointed out to me that I was being counter productive if I chose this action. The outcome was the King of Wands (the judge) being fair and also teaching me an important lesson. Sometimes the right thing to do is let things take their course. This "wise man" did exactly what was right and fair-without me busting in there and telling him how to do his job. Hmm...guess you're never too old to learn a thing or two!

NDP call for the removal of Premier's Chief of Staff
November 20, 2015
The NDP is calling for the removal of the Premier's Chief of Staff, Kirby McVicar.
An audio recording released on November 19th revealed McVicar, offered to provide the spouse of Andrew Younger with a job, to help the MLA "bridge" his income following his removal from Cabinet.
"I know you're taking a financial hit, I know that's painful and if there's anything that we can do for your wife on that side then, if there's anything — then let us know," McVicar told Younger. "Is there a personal-service contract that we can do. Is there something we can do to help?"
NDP Leader Maureen MacDonald says the recording reveals a problem in the Premier's office at the highest level.
"Despite what can clearly be heard on that tape, the Premier continues to defend his Chief of Staff and says he's doing a fine job," says MacDonald.
"The Premier needs to remove Mr. McVicar from his role as Chief of Staff immediately. This is not only a matter now under investigation by the RCMP but it goes to the heart of questionable behaviour in the operation of the Premier's Office at the very highest level."


text: What happens when a humongous, kind-hearted, talkative panda bear moves into your neighborhood? For three children, the answer is: fun! Stillwater the panda leads the children in a series of everyday adventures, introducing them to Japanese and Chinese culture, and telling them his own version of traditional Zen stories, to help teach them lessons for how to live good lives. The book is lavishly illustrated, interestingly written, and thought-provoking. My class loved the idea of hanging out with a giant panda bear, and they made some good connections to the stories Stillwater told. I enjoyed everything about this book, and though it won't do everything for everybody, it is ideal for readers interested in Asian cultures, traditional stories with funny, modern twists, and anyone willing to stop and reflect on their own life while they read.

Florentine wished she hadn't breathed, she wished she hadn't taken that small easing breath. But what a relief it was to hear that word, like a glimpse of sun after a storm.
But it was false hope...
For more words come. They arrive like a tsunami, pouring from Bexley's pale lips. Their power is unrivalled, they veil knives within Bexley's satin voice and the weight of them push Flora back, back into the water.
One step, two steps, the dusk girl doesn't know how many it takes until she stops. Shock is a canyon between them. The cool of the oasis, the water still clinging to her hair from her joyful flight through the waterfall, they are all reminders of what was… But this creature that stands before Flora is as tumultuous as a storm. She is completely different to the girl that so seized Florentine on the fields of Ruris. Upon her lips, this girl of visceral stares, tells Flora of what could never be.
The dusk girl's eyes shut, as if closing them might lessen the force of each word, might ease their cuts that slice so deep, too deep.
Somewhere her soul lies bleeding. Somewhere her heart is shattered, and burned to little more than ash upon the winds.
It is impossible to know which hurts more, which statement has razed her so low. The girl is flotsam in the terrible wave of Bexley's ire and she was not ready for any of it. She is set to drift upon the waves, ragged and bitten by winds and salt water.
It is a naïve, childish thought that sweeps unbidden into Flora's mind, but, alas, it cannot be stopped: Was this the girl she met so long ago within the meadow? It was hard to think that such a girl with golden smiles could harbor this wild fury and resentment. Maybe that was Florentine's fault all along… To love so openly without opening her eyes…
And yet, and yet Florentine is the fool who still cannot think of Bexley with anything but love, though her wounds are deep and Bexley's knives are sharp and wet with blood.
A creeping little voice begins to wonder how deep Bexley's own wounds are. The ones inflicted by Flora's own lips, her own words…
Was she unlovable? Or was Reichenbach incapable of love? Or was this all just some game for him? Questions, so many that throw themselves upon her tongue, that fill her mind. Questions filling her with an anger so dark, so wild it is terrifying to feel. Questions that steal the breath from her lungs with their grief. Questions that fill her with shame, like an inexperienced child in this adult game of love. And all are questions that gather like ice, ice to leave her numb. Ice that worries her nerves until she feels nothing.
Just, nothing
Florentine's eyes blink, lashes sticky with tears as they fan her drying cheeks. She hopes this might be the last time she cries over love, the last time she feels her heart ache with such wounds. She is not sure she recognizes what her heart has become, it is different now.
She is different now. And she knows they are all such foolish thoughts.
Another step back.
"I will go then." And this voice is as alien as her heart has become. It is a voice so terrifyingly numb, so bleak.
Eyes that have cried too much, fall to the bag at Bexley's feet, still filled with tinctures to heal, to ease pain. But Flora is sure there is no remedy to ease this pain of theirs. "Keep the bag, for your wounds." She says anyway, for even this alien heart cannot help but find some form of small, small love.
Only the water stirs as she leaves, as her wings spread, numb and unfeeling, to carry the girl towards the sky.
@Bexley ooph – I think that was a good place to end it because Flora needs like an age to process Bexley's words.
★ She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and she laughs without fear of the future ★

Unfortunately, something seems to be wrong at the Old Spotted Dog. There is the obvious friction between the chairman, who seems to be intent on bleeding the club dry and the ultras, but there also seems to be a few more deep rooted problems. Since the defeat at the weekend to Stansted there has been a bit of a player exodus and a defeat of 4-1 to Basildon last night has seen the Tons let in 4 goals in a row. I also hear some game show turned up last night, which obviously miffed the fans who are already concerned about their support being turned into a carnival.
The situation although not bleak is concerning. You have players who want to want to play for the club, but due to the financial restrictions can't / won't and a fan club that is becoming slightly fractious. I hear that there was some bitterness last night aimed at not only Basildon but also at other supporters and that the Brigata Italiana were criticised for not paying attention. I am hoping it really is just a storm in a tea cup or that what I am hearing us exaggerated as the Tons have made me look forward to football again.

Spanish Rice - Let the Mayhem Begin!
Well, this year it was April that brought the chaos with it, but April-hem just didn't have the same ring to it. I'm sure May won't disappoint, though. Hopefully I can at least get through it this year without a cross country move. But as you'll see, I didn't waste any time getting started with the Mayhem anyway. But don't worry, it had a happy ending. No, not like that, you pervs! Delicious Spanish rice that's super simple and is all cooked in one pan.
Here's what you'll need:
- ½ of a medium onion, diced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups rice
- 2 Tablespoons chili powder
- ½ can green chilies (about 2 Tablespoons)
- ½ can diced tomatoes (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 ½ cups water
*This is perfect for making the same week as Mexironi and Cheese because they both use half cans of the same stuff.
In a pan over medium heat, put 2 Tablespoons of olive oil followed by the diced onion.
Sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt over the top and cook until it's translucent, then add the garlic.
Stir that in and pour in the rice.
Stir the rice so that every grain is coated with a bit of oil. (Does that look like a lot of rice for this size pan? Nah… it'll be fine.)
Sprinkle on the chili powder.
And once again, stir until the rice is all evenly coated.
Add the chilies and tomatoes.
Stir those in and add the liquid.
Umm… I said it'll be fine, right? Well, here goes nothing. (May-hem!)
Bring it just to a simmer, then turn the heat to low, and pop on the lid.
Leave it for 25 minutes. No peeking! Well, no lifting the lid, anyway. This is why I love glass lids.
Turn the heat off and leave it for another 5-10 minutes. Then finally, you can remove the lid. See, I told you it would be fine. (whew!!)
And lastly, fluff it with a fork. (D'oh!) If your pan is as full as mine, you'll have to fluff it into a big bowl. Although, I highly recommend either using a bigger pan, or halving the recipe. Either way it will be fabulous.
Here at Authors Kitchen, we just can't have May without the hem. Which month usually brings the most chaos for you?

Like the rest of the world I've spent the last few days glued to the radio and Internet (or tv. or newspapers. or twitter feeds.) trying to grasp what's happened in Haiti. And, like most, I've been wondering what I can do to help. Send money, yes. But what else?
Here's another way: Sound artist Glenn Weyant has mobilized a dozen experimental/electronic/improvisational musicians to donate songs to a record [ New Music Haitian Relief ] that's available for download at whatever price you choose. 100% of proceeds will go to Food for the Poor - an organization Glenn has researched and believes will most efficiently turn donations into tangible help / food / support for the thousands and thousands of people who are dying in Haiti.
I've downloaded the album, and will be thinking about other ways - fiscal and creative - to continue supporting the awful situation there. Please do what you can, ok? Like, now.

yeah depending on rules if you are allowed dohc motors you might wanna try a neon an early 90s honda civic or acura integra or poss a saturn or saab 99. they all seem to be fairly quick up here, if you are stuck with a sohc or ohv try a vw rabbit or late 70s early 80s toyota corolla, both can go very fast cheap. Best thing to do from the start is head to the track and see what the other people are running in the class, get a set of rules and post them on here if you can, ask some of the other drivers for advice most people will help you out with any questions you may have. as far as finding a cheap car try local junkyards or abandon auto auctions up here in syracuse ny they have an abandon/impound car auction once a month usually around 50-100 cars and trucks and you can get decent cars for under $150 alot of em just need minor repairs that people were to broke to do or they could not afford the impound charges.try the local junkyards tell'em what your looking for and see if they'll give you a deal in exchange for putting thier name on the car. make sure you have someone knowledgable do the welding for you if you are not able to do it yourself, do not try to save money by ignoring saftey items, get a good suit,gloves,helmet,neckbrace,shoes, 5 point harness and racing seat, take it from someone who has been over a few times. second most important thing is to have fun regardless of how you finish, i was told when i first started that as long as you can drive it on the trailer then you have had a good night.post your rules if you get a chance and we'll try to help you out.

Shortly after graduating high school I began my service with the U.S. Marine Corps. I was an (0351), and after graduating from (DM) school in Dam Neck, Virginia, I served as a designated marksman with 1st FAST 5th Platoon, based out of Norfolk, Virginia.
After two years with FAST I moved on to Weapons Training Battalion, Quantico. I worked as a rifle and pistol marksmanship coach, teaching fundamentals of marksmanship to new Lieutenants just out of Officer Candidate School, as well as seasoned Marines. There I learned the techniques necessary to take a shooter, no matter their background and quickly and constructively give them a foundation in the fundamentals of marksmanship. I also competed in the MCCDC (Marine Corps Combat Development Command) Intramural Rifle and Pistol competition 2003, Placing 1st in team rifle and 2nd in Pistol.
Following my end of contract with the Marines I briefly worked for the Virginia Dept. of Corrections. The Mobilization Command asked if I would volunteer to rejoin the Marine Corps for a period of one year to help replace the growing number non-commissioned officer casualties in Iraq. In June of 2004 I did just that and later in the year deployed with 1st Battalion 7th Marines to Al Qaim, Iraq. I served 7 months there, returned home and was honorably discharged once again.
In 2006 I was vetted and went to work for Blackwater Security Consulting, on the WPPS (Worldwide Personal Protective Services) contract in Baghdad with a later change in companies to Triple Canopy. There I worked as a shooter for the Tactical Support Team. As time progressed I began to teach classes to new contractors as they arrived to the team. From CQB (Close Quarters Battle) and team movements to basic marksmanship review before qualifications, I refined my skills as a trainer every time I was given the chance.
In 2011 I decided to return home, attend Millersville University and teach marksmanship courses here in the Lancaster Area. I have been an NRA rifle instructor since 2008.

I know for many of you the one time you cook a turkey is still a couple of weeks away, but it is never too early to start thinking about how you are going to cook this bird. Fortunately for you I have been working for years to put together the resources you need to cook a great turkey. Take a look at these:
The Science of Turkey Understand that a whole turkey is basically two kinds of meat that cook differently and you need to adjust the way you cook a turkey to get both meats done right.
Brining Turkey Brining makes a better turkey hands down. If you don't brine you really should give it a try. I promise that you will notice the difference.
Turkey Injection Want to put some extra flavor into your turkey (literally)? Try an injection marinade to puts moisture and flavor directly into the meat of the turkey.
Deep Fried Turkey Many people are afraid to deep fry a turkey, but if you are careful and do it right, you will get one of the best turkeys you have ever eaten.
Smoking Turkey A smoked turkey is loaded with flavor that makes it the most unique bird you can cook.
Grilled Turkey Depending on your grill you can cook up a turkey quickly and easily without turning on your oven once (saving it for all those other dishes you cook).
Beer Can Turkey Smoked or grilled putting your turkey on a big beer can adds loads of flavor and moisture to your bird.

1. Can you tell us a little bit about the band for those that have never heard of you before?
we're three old punk/metal dudes (tim, jeff, and mike)from portsmouth nh who've been playing music together for about six years.
2. How would you describe your musical sound?
prog crust, perhaps? we have pretty eclectic tastes, and write a lot of music, so our sound can vary greatly and often.
3. What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
the overall lyrical theme is that of hopelessly watching the world fall apart around you. our main lyricist mike is a teacher who works with special needs kids from broken homes. it's a constant reminder of the effects of alcoholism, hard drugs, and media brainwashing.
4. What is the meaning and inspiration behind the bands name?
we thought we had made the word up, and chose it strictly for visual reasons (originally vaast had three a's and three umlauts). apparently it was also the name of a monk who ascended to heaven via spontaneous human combustion.
5. What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and how would you describe your stage performance?
our favorite shows thus far have been with bands such as thou, backstabbers inc., the body, howl, and a ton of others. our shows are fueled by copious amounts of caffeine and marajuana.
6. Do you have any touring plans for the future?
we're planning on a two to three week east coast tour this summer, most likely with another gnarly nh band such as kyoty or ultra/negative, so if you're reading this and have a basement/art space/show space send us an email.
7. Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label and if so what kind of label do you feel that would be a perfect fit for the music?
our last ep was put out by a small hip hop label which we absolutely appreciate, but wasn't necessarily the best pairing. although we aren't actively looking for a label we can see the benefit of both larger and smaller independent labels, and would probably jump at either opportunity. at the end of the day, i'm content giving my music away on the internet.
8. Are there any other projects besides this band or is this a full time line up?
vaast is definitely everyone's first priority, but we always have things going on on the side. currently jeff plays drums in the grunge band ellen page, and a yet-to-be-named black metal band with members of backstabbers inc. mike and i played in a power violence band called godbuzzard for a number of years. it's not uncommon for us to play back to back sets with different bands.
9. What direction do you see your music heading into on future releases?
the next batch of songs will be lengthy, self indulgent instrumentals most likely followed by a slew of simple d beat or grind songs. we constantly write new music, and enjoy jumping from style to style as our mood sees fit. the goal for the coming year is to record as often as we create.
10. What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
our biggest influences are nineties hardcore and metal bands such as his hero is gone, catharsis, today is the day, neurosis, combat wounded veteran, carcass etc... as well as latter day black flag, voivod, black metal, doom, prog rock, and fusion jazz. current stuff we're into includes masakari, victims, stormcrow, hellshock, negura bunget, baroness, and all things southern lord.
11.Outside of music what are some of your interests?
we're all avid hikers and outdoorsmen. i've spent a good portion of this winter snowshoeing through the white mountains. most of us also fancy ourselves artists/painters, and usually have several showings throughout the year. jeff is also very active in the theater.
12. Any final words or thoughts before we wrap up this interview?
it's been really cool watching this music go from complete obscurity to being readily available at my local music store. we're very thankful you can be in your mid thirties in this scene and still not only be relevant, but often revered. punk is alive and well, and i can't wait to still play it when i'm fucking fifty.

Hi I'm CR
I grew up in the wide open spaces of North Dakota and Montana, enjoy the outdoors and love sports - and I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am a father of yours, mine, and ours - 2 of each! It has been an interesting experience raising such a family! Not knowing what I wanted to do when I graduated from high school, I first went to a trade school, then a business college and finally a university where I received a Computer Science degree. Now I work in the Compensation and Benefits area of Human Resources. While I grew up a rural town in North Dakota, over the course of my life I have lived in Montana, Utah, South Dakota, Oregon, Texas, Colorado, Missouri, Indiana, Michigan, Arizona and Pennsylvania. I would have never charted my life's journey over much of the United States!
Why I am a Mormon
I didn't grow up a Mormon. In fact, I didn't join the Mormon Church until I was 21 years old. I wasn't looking to change my religion. In fact, the reason I learned about the Mormon Church had nothing to do with finding a new religion - it related to me wanting to "protect" a friend who had agreed to go to an "open house" at a church. I thought this strange and asked her what kind of church would have an "open house" - she reluctantly said the "Mormon Church". So I went with her to "protect" her. This set in motion the most amazing sequence of events that changed my life forever. I listened to what the 2 "Sister" missionaries were teaching, from Jesus Christ visiting the Americas, to Prophets still on the earth, to new scripture given to God's children - it all made so much sense to me! After a couple of sessions, the missionaries asked me to pray about everything. I remember sitting in my VW Squareback and asking God that if what I was doing was "right" that I might know. Immediately, such a powerful feeling came over me - it was as if my entire heart was going to explode! Even though this happened many years ago I cannot deny the feelings that I had at that time. Over the years I have felt the Holy Ghost as He has testified to me of the truthfulness of something that was important for me to understand at a particular point in time in my life.
How I live my faith
My faith helps define who I am. It's something that I try to live on a regular basis. I pray before I start my day, at the end of the day, and along the day when I need help, which sometimes can be quite often! I also read the scriptures daily. Along with another member assigned to me in a companionship, we visit 4 other families monthly. In our visits we share a lesson, visit the families to see of any needs they have, and mainly just be a friend. With my own family, we set aside a special "family night" one night a week where we share a practical life lesson or maybe just go to a movie - what's most important is that we draw closer as a family. My faith helps me know that I have a Heavenly Father who wants me to be a tool in helping others and in also being successful. I know Jesus Christ lives as I have experienced his influence many times throughout my life. Everything is not always perfect, sometimes far from it, but I know that if I try to do what is right that God will help me, sometimes even carry me, over life's bumpy road.

Kansas Heritage Series
Each winter, the Wilson County Old Iron Club hosts a 3 event series focusing on a different aspect of Kansas history and heritage. The premier series was held in early 2013.
All events are held on Sunday afternoons at 2pm, in the Town Hall at the "Rollin 'Red' Vandever Memorial Park".
2018 Heritage Series
This year's series is all about our natural resources - how the resources impact our daily lives, and how we affect the resources by the choices we make.
January 28, 2018 – "Water in Kansas: Past & Present" - Rex Buchanan
Early evidence of Native peoples in Kansas shows that they lived near springs, seeps, and rivers. Later, European settlers moved along water sources, and eventually cities were established in areas with plentiful water supplies. Even today, demographic changes in Kansas are the result of water. Scarcity connected to water-level declines in the Ogallala Aquifer is impacting depopulation in western Kansas, whereas some eastern Kansas counties, which are relatively water-rich, are gaining population. Recently the state government developed a 50-year water planning vision, identifying two major issues: reservoir sedimentation and the rapid drawdown of Ogallala portion of the High Plains Aquifer in western Kansas. This presentation will highlight how water issues today define much about Kansans in the future, just as it always has.
- Presented by Rex Buchanan. firstname.lastname@example.com Rex is the interim director of the Kansas Geological Survey and the author of books about Kansas geology and water.
February 25, 2018 – "The Challenges and Joys of Prairie Living" – Jane Koger
Jane Koger, from Bazaar KS, is the owner of the Homestead Ranch in Chase County, a 4,000-acre privately owned ranch. She has turned her love of the Flint Hills into a lifelong dedication to preserving the Flint Hills' pristine ecosystem. For more information about prairie living, check out her video, "Living Off the Grid, In Sync With Nature". https://vimeo.com/133103528
- Presented by Jane Koger. Jane was born into a ranching family in Emporia, KS. Raised in Cottonwood Falls, she is a fourth generation rancher in Chase County.
March 11, 2018 – "Water: Why Is It So Difficult to Conserve?" – Matt Sanderson
Water is the most precious natural resource, sustaining all life on Earth. Despite its value, freshwater consumption is not sustainable in many areas around the world, including Kansas. Why is it so difficult to conserve this vital resource? This presentation will look at the role of culture – our values norms, and beliefs – and consider their impact on "the water problem" and how they can help solve this issue.
- Presented by Matthew Sanderson. email@example.com Matthew is an associate professor of sociology at Kansas State University.

Three AAA titles and a number of indies make November 10-17 a huge week for Nintendo.
Nintendo Switch has seen a steady stream of indie games hitting the eShop for months, but AAA third-party releases have still been a little sparse. That trend is set to end with one of Switch's biggest releases weeks of all time kicking off this Friday.
Despite being announced for the Switch just a few weeks ago, Bethesda's DOOM is likely to make a huge wave when it hits Switch on Nov. 10, 2017. It might not be the technical marvel it was on PS4, Xbox One and PC, but DOOM on a portable console is nothing short of impressive. Surprisingly, Bethesda is also debuting Skyrim just one week later on the 17th. Yes, one of the biggest third party developers supporting Switch is releasing two of it's games in just one week. Yikes!
AAA releases don't stop there; however, with L.A. Noire making its debut on the platform on Nov. 14, 2017. It won't have the same visual enhancements as its Xbox One and PS4 equivalents, and it's $10 more, but L.A. Noire on Switch still looks promising thanks to some platform exclusive features like touchscreen support and gyroscopic controls.
In addition to AAA games, there is a score of high profile indie games coming to the platform in the next week. Coming on the 10th is Snipperclips Plus, a new expansion for an indie game that debuted with the console last spring. Since its just an expansion to the base game, those who already own the game can simply buy the Plus upgrade, and new owners can buy the complete experience in one package.
Then, on the 14th, the indie releases on eShop really take off. First, we see the complete first season of TellTale's Batman, which is TellTale's second effort on the Switch. Rocket League is also set to come out on Tuesday, and it'll come loaded with Nintendo exclusive cosmetic unlocks and will support cross-platform play with Steam and Xbox One players. Additionally, RiME is finally making its way to Nintendo Switch on the 14th after some lengthy delays.
With a number of anticipated games hitting the platform next week, it's an exciting time for Switch owners. While games like DOOM and Skyrim will undoubtedly see success in the next few weeks, some of the indie releases may have to compete for attention. If you're looking to pick up several new releases, you might want to take a look at your console's hard drive space. Many bigger releases, like L.A. Noire, will require users to have MicroSD loaded into the console to even play the game.
What games do you plan on picking up? Anything you plan on skipping? Share your take in the comments below or on Twitter.
