April 10, 2010 - The Roemers relished the spiced mutton roasted in oven Tandoori Burra, a specialty of Karim's. An institution in itself, Karim's is traditionally thought to be run by the descendents of the chef of Mughal emperors.
A peice on the outside of the train near those chains had the coolest rust pattern. Flake of rust after flake of rust after flake of rust, one on top of the other.

Boy Scouts of America National Jamborees are quadrennial gatherings of thousands of scouts from around the country and the world. The first was held in 1935 in Washington, DC. With the advent of World War II, however, these huge events were deferred for the duration of the war.
In the late 1940s, the Cold War commenced-an unsettling period of repeated crises and tensions between former allies the United States and the Soviet Union. For reassurance, citizens looked back to the founding ideals of democracy, and interest in sites and stories of the American Revolution was strong. When the Boy Scouts of America decided to reestablish jamborees, they chose Valley Forge, the icon of the American Revolution.
Valley Forge served as the site of three National Jamborees, in 1950, 1957, and 1964.
A vision of the Trinity dominates the work. God the Father sits on a throne surrounded by angels and holds the cross bearing his crucified son. The dove of the Holy Spirit hovers above. The altarpiece has long been linked to the convent of Santa Elisabetta delle Convertite in Florence, a community of nuns who welcomed repentant prostitutes. This location explains the presence, on either side of the apparition, of John the Baptist, patron saint of Florence, and Mary Magdalen, patroness of the convent. The Magdalen is covered by her hair and John wears a fur garment, recalling the long periods both saints spent as hermits in the wilderness. Life for the nuns of the Convertite convent was similarly austere as they were urged to follow the example of Mary Magdalen who abandoned a worldly life for one of penitence and devotion.
The two smaller figures in the foreground are drawn from the Old Testament: the Archangel Raphael guides the young Tobias on his quest to collect a debt owed to his blind father. On the way, they find a fish with healing properties able to cure the father’s infirmity. The story thus echoed the convent’s mission of protection and rescue.
The altarpiece is thought to have been painted between 1491 and 1494, when work on a new chapel for the convent is documented. Recent technical study has revealed, however, that the painting’s creation may have taken place over a longer period of time as the composition underwent several significant changes. In particular, Tobias and Raphael were once further away behind the cross (and more in proportion to the other figures), nestled in a landscape of rolling hills that was later painted over. As was common practice in the Renaissance, many hands worked on the painting. Botticelli ran a large studio and delegated portions of larger works to assistants. In the Trinity altarpiece, it is likely that the heads of the angels were painted by members of the workshop, in contrast to the main figures that exhibit Botticelli’s characteristic graceful line.

On April 10, 2014, the gallery@calit2 at the University of California, San Diego will kick off its Spring 2014 exhibition, Senses of Care: Mediated Ability and Interdependence. The opening will feature a talk by the curatorial team, led by UC San Diego associate professor of communication Brian Goldfarb with co-curators Christina Aushana and Louise Hickman, as well as a reception, and both are open to the public. The exhibition runs through June 13 in the gallery@calit2 on the first floor of Atkinson Hall on the UC San Diego campus. It will remain in the gallery through the summer, but over the summer it will be viewable by appointment only.
The exhibition will feature an array of artifacts and works by artists and design initiatives that raise provocative questions about the dynamics of care, interdependence and diversity of ability. Senses of Care features artists whose work deals with topics ranging from disability fashion to do-it-yourself (DIY) prosthetics to creative modes of reframing sensory experience, for example, foregrounding our bodily sensation of sound by a Deaf performance artist. These projects point us toward a spectrum of possibilities that emerge around what are commonly understood as limits or challenges to ability. The represented artists demonstrate ways of reorienting notions of "challenged" away from individual capability and toward challenges of forging an open and inclusive world.

The Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth is a modern Catholic church built over the remains of Byzantine and Crusader churches. It incorporates the cave in which the Virgin Mary received the news from Gabriel that she would give birth to Jesus. The site has been a pilgrimage destination since earliest times and remains an important stop for Holy Land pilgrims today.

Riga was a major centre of the Hanseatic League, deriving its prosperity in the 13th–15th centuries from the trade with central and eastern Europe. The urban fabric of its medieval centre reflects this prosperity, though most of the earliest buildings were destroyed by fire or war. Riga became an important economic centre in the 19th century, when the suburbs surrounding the medieval town were laid out, first with imposing wooden buildings in neoclassical style and then in Jugendstil. It is generally recognized that Riga has the finest collection of art nouveau buildings in Europe. UNESCO WHS description.
The first cases of rabies in Bali were reported in 2008. FAO established a technical assistance project with the Government of Indonesia with the aim of supporting national efforts to control the disease on Bali. This was to be achieved by establishing an effective programme to coordinate and facilitate rabies control with government agencies and partner organizations. As a result of the programme, human rabies cases were reduced from eleven per month in 2010 to just one per month the following year. Following a mass vaccination of dogs, there was another major reduction in 2012 and 2013, bringing the number of reported cases down to only one human case in all of 2013. The model developed in Bali is now being modified as appropriate and used in other affected parts of Indonesia to progressively control and eliminate the virus from the entire country.

“This Sunday mark[ed] the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the BWC. For half a century, it has embodied our mutual belief that the use of biological or toxin weapons ‘would be repugnant to the conscience of mankind.’ In those fifty years, much has changed both in the life sciences and in the international security landscape, but the importance of the BWC’s prohibitions has not.” -U.S. Special Representative for the Biological Weapons Convention, Kenneth D. Ward
The Biological Weapons Convention
The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) effectively prohibits the development, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use of biological and toxin weapons. It was the first multilateral disarmament treaty banning an entire category of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
The BWC is a key element in the international community’s efforts to address WMD proliferation and it has established a strong norm against biological weapons. The Convention has reached almost universal membership with 183 States Parties and four Signatory States.
Biological weapons disseminate disease-causing organisms or toxins to harm or kill humans, animals or plants. They can be deadly and highly contagious. Diseases caused by such weapons would not confine themselves to national borders and could spread rapidly around the world. The consequences of the deliberate release of biological agents or toxins by state or non-state actors could be dramatic. In addition to the tragic loss of lives, such events could cause food shortages, environmental catastrophes, devastating economic loss, and widespread illness, fear and mistrust among the public.
