NARMADA PARIKRAMA
The Narmada also called the Rewa, is a river in central India and the fifth longest river in the Indian subcontinent. It is the third longest river that flows entirely within India, after the Godavari and the Krishna. It is also known as "Life Line of Madhya Pradesh" for its huge contribution to the state of Madhya Pradesh in many ways. It forms the traditional boundary between North India and South India and flows westwards over a length of 1,312 km (815.2 mi) before draining through theGulf of Khambhat into the Arabian Sea, 30 km (18.6 mi) west of Bharuch city of Gujarat. It is one of only three major rivers in peninsular India that run from east to west (longest west flowing river), along with the Tapti River and the Mahi River. It is the one of the rivers in India that flows in a rift valley, flowing west between the Satpura and Vindhya ranges. The other rivers which flows through rift valley include Damodar River in Chota Nagpur Plateau and Tapti. The Tapti River and Mahi River also flow through rift valleys, but between different ranges. It flows through the states of Madhya Pradesh(1,077 km (669.2 mi)), and Maharashtra, (74 km (46.0 mi))– (35 km (21.7 mi)) then along the border between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra (39 km (24.2 mi) and the border between Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat and in Gujarat (161 km (100.0 mi)).
The Periplus Maris Erythraei (c. 80 AD) calls it the Nammadus, and theBritish Raj called it the Nerbudda or Narbada. Narmadā is a Sanskrit word meaning "the Giver of Pleasure".
To Hindus the Narmada is one of the five holy rivers of India; the other four beingGanges, Yamuna, Godavari and Kaveri. It is believed that a dip in any of these five rivers washes one's sins away. According to a legend, the river Ganges, polluted by millions of people bathing in it, assumes the form of a black cow and comes to the Narmada to bathe and cleanse itself in its holy waters. Legends also claim that the Narmada River is older than the river Ganges.
The river was mentioned by Ptolemy in the second century AD as Namade and by the author of the Periplus. The Ramayana, the Mahabharat, and thePuranas refer to it frequently. The Rewa Khand of Vayu Purana and the Rewa Khand of Skanda Purana are entirely devoted to the story of the birth and the importance of the river, and hence Narmada is also called the Rewa.
There are many fables about the origin of the Narmada. According to one of them, once Lord Shiva, the Destroyer of the Universe, meditated so hard that he started perspiring. Shiva's sweat accumulated in a tank and started flowing in the form of a river – the Narmada. Another legend has it that two teardrops that fell from the eyes of Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, yielded two rivers – the Narmada and the Son.
Legends also say that for Lord Shiva, the Hindu God, the river is especially sacred on account of its origin, and it is often called Shankari, i.e., daughter of Shankar (Lord Shiva). All the pebbles rolling on its bed are said to take the shape of his emblem with the saying, "Narmada Ke Kanker utte Sankar" (a popular saying in the Hindi belt of India), which means that 'pebble stones of Narmada get a personified form of Shiva'. These lingam shaped stones (cryptocrytalline quartz), calledBanalinga also called (Banashivalingas) are much sought after for daily worship by the Hindus. The Brihadeeswara Temple in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, constructed by Rajaraja Chola, has one of the biggest Banalingas. Adi Shankara met his guru Govinda Bhagavatpada on the banks of the river Narmada.
Narmada is also said to have been in love with the Sonbhadra, another river flowing on the Chota Nagpur Plateau. According to the Puranas, the Narmada is also called the Rewa, from its leaping motion (from the root 'rev') through its rocky bed.
Important religious places and Ghats along the course of the river, starting from its origin at Narmadakhund at Amarkantakhill, are a) the Amarkantak (in Sanskrit: Neck of Shiva) or Teertharaj (the King of Pilgrimages), b) Omkareshwar, Maheshwar, and Mahadeo temples, Nemawar Siddeshwar Mandir in the middle reach of the river – all named after Shiva, c) Chausath Yogini (sixty four yoginis) temple, d) Chaubis Avatar temple, e) Bhojpur Shiva temple and Bhrigu Rishi temple in Bharuch. The Narmada River is also worshipped as mother goddess by Narmadeeya Brahmins.
The importance of the Narmada River as sacred is testified by the fact that the pilgrims perform a holy pilgrimage of aparikrama or circumambulation of the river.[17] The Narmada Parikrama, as it is called, is considered to be a meritorious act that a pilgrim can undertake. Many sadhus and pilgrims walk on foot from the Arabian Sea at Bharuch in Gujarat, along the river, to the source in Maikal Mountains (Amarkantak hills) in Madhya Pradesh and back along the opposite bank of the river. It is a 2,600-kilometre (1,600 mi) walk.[18] Important towns of interest in the valley are Jabalpur, Barwani, Hoshangabad, Harda, Narmada Nagar, Omkareshwar, Dewas (Nemavar, Kity, Pipri), Mandla and Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, andRajpipla and Bharuch in Gujarat. Some places of historical interest are Joga Ka Quilla, Chhatri of Baji Rao Peshwa andBhimbetka, and among the falls are the Dugdhdhara, Dhardi falls, Bheraghat, Dhuandhara, Kapiladhara and Sahastradhara.

The stream flowing from Bedworth Slough forms a brook which flows south, under Newtown Road, between the housing to Rectory Drive and then continues beside Silk Weavers Way to cross beneath the A444. It runs parallel to Bowling Green Lane, crossing School Lane to feed the moat of Tudor Court, beneath the M6 and thence across the fields behind St Giles Church. Here it is joined by the Breach Brook. It passes back under the A444 to Sowe Meadows Nature Park, under Rowley's Green Lane, the railway line and finally Grindle Road, where it is just visible as it is culverted beneath the housing and adjacent Coventry canal, thence across Longford Community Nature Reserve to the Longford Road. From here it emerges into the green oasis of Longford Park to exit not far from Alderman's Green Road.
The River Sowe is a river in Warwickshire and West Midlands. It is a tributary of the River Avon, and flows into it just south of Stoneleigh about 5 miles (8 km) south of Coventry. It is about 12 miles (19 km) long.
The Sowe rises in Bedworth 5.5 miles (9 km) to the north of Coventry. Its route takes it through Exhall near to Junction 3 of the M6 motorway and the A444 road, to the northern and then the eastern suburbs of Coventry, in particular the districts of Longford, Wood End, Walsgrave, Binley, Willenhall and near the village of Baginton. Near Baginton the river has a large steep bank on its southern side and the remains of the Roman Lunt Fort have been found at the top of this bank.
There is an established local park called the Sowe Valley Footpath that runs alongside the river for 8½ miles from Hawkesbury Junction Conservation Area to Stonebridge Meadows Local Nature. It also runs through Wyken Slough Local Nature Reserve, Wyken Croft Nature Park and Stoke Floods Local Nature Reserve.

I Glasvegas si formano nel 2003 a Glasgow, e la formazione del gruppo consiste in James Allan (voce e chitarra), suo cugino Rab Allan (chitarra), Paul Donoghue (basso) e Ryan Ross (batteria). Il gruppo gira la Scozia in tour dal 2003 al 2005, pubblicazione un singolo ad edizione limitata I'm Gonna Get Stabbed/Ina Lvs Rab nel maggio 2004. Ryan Ross lasciò il gruppo a fine 2004, per trasferirsi negli Stati Uniti. Nel dicembre 2005 Ross viene sostiutito da una nuova batterista, Caroline McKay. Il 20 ottobre 2006 viene pubblicato un altro singolo Go Square Go!.

Handheld long exposure at night. The cars are moving very fast so all is left behind is the beautiful forms left behind of their headlights.
Here you also see more elongated signage on the road intended for drivers. In Hong Kong, signage on the road is typical, and one can reason that it is a lot safer this way to keep the drivers’ eyes on the road instead of up above.

Backstage Sky TG24HD una puntata con Paola Saluzzi insieme a Maurizio Zorzetto Country Manager Italia di Meetic per parlare dell'amore ai tempi della rete e come si formano le coppie in rete. In onda su Sky TG24
This photo was so fun to shoot, even though it killed my eyes. I was shooting directly at a bulb when it was lit. Also, it was not taken in a dark room. I turned my ISO WAY up to get this photo.
I chose this for form because one can really see the 3-D aspect of the bulb. Even though it is the source of light, there are shadows on the edges and the bottom. The bulb itself is a little dusty, and I really liked that because it looked natural. I took several shots of this object, but this was the first one and I liked it the most. In photoshop, I adjusted the color a little bit to make the bulb a little darker and sharpened it around the edges.

Sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of loose sediments. Loose sediments become hard rocks by the processes of deposition, burial, compaction, dewatering, and cementation.
There are three categories of sedimentary rocks:
1) Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments produced by weathering & erosion of any previously existing rocks.
2) Biogenic sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments that were once-living organisms (plants, animals, micro-organisms).
3) Chemical sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments formed by inorganic chemical reactions. Most sedimentary rocks have a clastic texture, but some are crystalline.
Limestone is a common biogenic sedimentary rock composed of the mineral calcite (CaCO3), which bubbles in acid. Many geologically young limestones are composed of aragonite (also CaCO3). Numerous varieties of limestone exist (e.g., fine-grained limestone/micritic limestone/lime mudstone, coquina, chalk, wackestone, packstone, grainstone, rudstone, rubblestone, coralstone, calcarenite, calcisiltite, calcilutite, calcirudite, floatstone, boundstone, framestone, oolitic limestone, oncolitic limestone, etc.). The most distinctive type can be given the generalized name fossiliferous limestone, which is composed of abundant whole & fragmented fossil shells and skeletons, usually mixed with mud. Most limestones represent deposition in ancient warm, shallow ocean environments.
The sample shown above is a distinctive variety of fossiliferous limestone called coquina. It is composed of mollusc shells and fragmented shells (typically clam and snail shells - bivalves and gastropods). Coquinas have high porosity - a significant amount of empty space exists between the grains. This results in coquina having a spongy appearance.
Coquina had military significance in early American history. Some military forts in Florida were constructed with coquina walls. The coquina essentially absorbed any cannonballs that were shot at the fort. Coquina is a fairly common sedimentary rock in the Quaternary of Florida.
This sample is apparently derived from shallow subtidal seafloor outcrops. If this was the Atlantic coast of Florida, it would be assigned to the Anastasia Formation. However, this is from the Gulf Coast of Florida. I see no reason why the same lithology of the same age deposited in the same environment shouldn't also be referred to as the Anastasia Formation.

Considerato come uno dei più grandi cantautori del panorama musicale italiano, Umberto Tozzi nasce a Torino il 4 marzo del 1952.
Il suo percorso musicale inizia nel 1968 quando, a soli 16 anni, entra negli Off Sound, un gruppo rock torinese composto da giovanissimi talenti. A Milano conosce Adriano Pappalardo, con il quale forma un gruppo di 13 elementi che gira per tutta l'Italia.
Nel 1974, a 22 anni, ottiene il primo riconoscimento con la canzone "Un corpo un'anima" scritta con Damiano Dattoli, che interpretata da Wess e Dori Ghezzi, vince l’ultima edizione di Canzonissima.
Nel 1976 debutta come solista con l'album “Donna Amante mia”, di cui fa parte una canzone portata al successo da Fausto Leali, "Io camminerò".
Del 1977 è "Ti Amo", uno tra i brani più famosi dell’artista, che rimane ai vertici delle classifiche per più di sette mesi, stracciando ogni record di vendita e vincendo l’edizione di quell’anno del Festivalbar.
Il 1978 è l'anno di "Tu”, che bissa in pieno il successo dell’anno precedente, mentre il 1979 è la volta di quello che forse rappresenta la più grande hit di Tozzi: "Gloria". Questo brano, ripreso e interpretato da Laura Branigan, porta il nome di Umberto Tozzi oltre Oceano.
Il successo di Umberto Tozzi continua nei primi anni '80 con l’album Tozzi (Poste’80), trascinato dal singolo “Stella Stai”. Nello stesso anno Umberto gira l’Italia e l’Europa con il grande staff dei musicisti americani del suo ultimo disco e pubblica il primo album live "Umberto Tozzi in concerto".
Il 1981 è la volta invece di "Notte Rosa”, un disco rockeggiante e molto ispirato, ancora di costruzione internazionale. "Eva", prodotto da Lucio Fabbri della PFM è invece l’album del 1982. Il 1982 è anche l’anno in cui Umberto riceve il GOLDEN GLOBE (mappamondo d’oro) premio ottenuto con oltre 27 milioni di copie vendute in soli 5 anni.
Nel 1983 Tozzi esce con il singolo “Nell’aria c’è”, seguito nel 1984 dall’album “Hurrah”. A questo Lp segue una pausa di alcuni anni in cui l'artista cerca nuove motivazioni.
Nel 1987 Umberto torna alla ribalta con due nuovi successi: "Si può dare di più" che cantata insieme a Gianni Morandi ed Enrico Ruggeri, vince il Festival di Sanremo e "Gente di Mare" in duetto con Raf, che si classifica terza all'Eurofestival.
Nel 1988 pubblica la raccolta “Minuti di un’eternità", e a novembre del medesimo anno esce con l’album di inediti “Invisibile". Il 1988 è l'anno della pubblicazione del secondo live "Royal Albert Hall", registrato nell’omonimo teatro di Londra. Questo disco, ancor oggi considerato una vera “perla live”, porta Umberto Tozzi ai vertici delle classifiche con oltre 300.000 copie vendute.
La carriera di grande artista prosegue anche negli anni '90 con melodie sempre più ricercate che portano alla luce "Gli altri siamo noi" (oltre 400.000 copie vendute) datata 1991, la cui title track fu presentata a Sanremo con grande successo. Nello stesso anno esce con una nuova raccolta, "Le Mie Canzoni" raggiungendo nuovi record di vendita in Italia (4 platini) come all’estero.
Nel 1994 Umberto Tozzi esce con un nuovo lavoro, "Equivocando", che segna il ritorno alla collaborazione con Greg Mathieson, portando Umberto a vincere nuovamente il Festivalbar con il brano “Io muoio di te". E’ il 4° album più venduto nel 1994 con oltre 350.000 copie.
Il 1996 è invece l’anno de "Il Grido", considerato uno dei lavori più belli dell’artista torinese. L’album riceve ad un mese dalla sua uscita il disco di platino (100.000 copie vendute). Nel 1997 Umberto collabora con Mogol all’album "Aria e cielo", un lavoro che riporta Tozzi su un livello più melodico. Il singolo che lo lancia e’ "Quasi Quasi".
Nel 1999 pubblica la raccolta "Bagaglio a mano", una rivisitazione musicale in chiave più moderna delle sue canzoni. Con Sanremo 2000 Umberto Tozzi si ripresenta alla manifestazione canora ancora diventando protagonista a tutti gli effetti con il brano "Un'altra vita", tratto dall' omonimo album. A conferma dell’apice del successo di Tozzi e delle sue raccolte, nel 2001 esce in Spagna “Grandes exitos”, un album di successi in versione spagnola che rimane in classifica per 8 mesi vendendo oltre 150.000 copie.
Nell’agosto del 2001 in Francia interpreta, nella colonna sonora del film “Asterix e Obelix”, la canzone “Ti amo”, in coppia con Monica Bellucci.
Nel 2002 ancora con “Ti amo” in duetto con Lena Ka riesce a vendere quasi 1.000.000 di copie in Francia. In seguito pubblica il nuovo album “The best of Umberto Tozzi”, doppio cd contenente tutti i suoi più grandi successi e due nuovi inediti: "E non volo", “Angelita”, e tre versioni in inglese di tre grandi successi internazionali “Ti amo”, “Gloria” e “Gli altri siamo noi”. Questo disco supera le 150.000 copie.
Nel 2003, a grande richiesta del pubblico francese, Tozzi, in duetto con Cerenà, interpreta “Tu” e ottiene un grandissimo successo sfiorando le 200.000 copie di singoli venduti (pubblicando il singolo anche in versione video).
Tra Stati Uniti e Italia nel 2004 realizza le registrazioni di ‘Le parole’, brano che presenta a Sanremo e che porta il nome all’omonimo nuovo album di inediti pubblicato il 4 marzo 2005. Questo nuovo capolavoro viene distribuito anche nella versione spagnola “Solo Palabras" con cinque brani in lingua Castellana.
Nel 2006 Umberto lascia la casa discografica Warner Music e pubblica per la MBO “Heterogene", un disco di musica Lounge-Ambient. Il progetto musicale dalle sonorità raffinate contiene una singolare versione de “Gli altri siamo noi”. Nello stesso anno la Warner pubblica una doppia raccolta che racchiude 30 anni di successi dal titolo “TuttoTozzi”, che supera le 150.000 copie vendute.
Sempre nel 2006, Umberto incide con l’artista italiano Marco Masini, l’album “Tozzi Masini”, composta da 16 tracce tra cui: un brano di Masini cantato da entrambi, sei canzoni di Tozzi cantate da Masini, sei canzoni di Masini cantate da Tozzi e tre inediti. I due cantautori ricevono una nomination al Venice Music Awards 2006, vincendo il premio “Miglior tour dell’anno”.
Il 2009 è un anno pieno di progetti per il cantautore torinese: il 23 gennaio è uscito per Universal Music l’album “Non Solo Live”, la raccolta delle esibizioni dal vivo più emozionanti di Umberto, mentre il 4 aprile è stato pubblicata da Aliberti Editore l’auto-biografia “Non Solo Io”. Il 18 settembre sempre per Universal Music esce “SUPERSTAR”: 16 tracce contenute nei “lati B” degli Lp di Umberto, riarrangiate in collaborazione con Matteo Gaggioli, alle quali si aggiunge come bonus track la versione live di “Ti amo”, che per molto tempo è stata la colonna sonora dello spot di Vodafone.
Il 2012 è l’anno d’uscita di un nuovo disco d’inediti, “Yesterday Today”, doppio album composto da un cd con brani registrati in studio e un CD best of con brani riarrangiati. Nella versione francese dell’album, è contenuto il duetto con il celebre artista francese Francis Cabrel, dal titolo Petite Marie. Tra il 2012 e il 2014 il grande artista italiano è protagonista di un tour internazionale che lo ha visto in giro per il Mondo per ripercorrere le diverse tappe della sua straordinaria carriera musicale. Il 1 Dicembre 2012 Umberto registra il suo primo dvd live durante il concerto al Gran Teatro Geox di Padova (data sold out).
Nel gennaio del 2014, il brano “Gloria” viene scelto da Martin Scorsese, come colonna sonora del film, The Wolf of Wall Street, con protagonista Leonardo di Caprio e candidato al Premio Oscar.
Dopo quasi tre anni di assenza dalle scene musicali l’artista torinese torna con grande entusiasmo con un nuovo progetto musicale d’inediti, “Ma che spettacolo”, in uscita il prossimo 30 Ottobre su etichetta Momy Record distribuito Sony Music.
Umberto Tozzi nella sua carriera ha venduto nel mondo più di 75 milioni di copie di dischi.
