A WORLD first took place at Wookey Hole Caves this week, when Philip Gray painted underwater in a cave.
Artist Philip created painted artworks for the first ever time in a cave, over 19 feet underwater.
He created two pieces of work he entitled Pioneers of the Dark and The Source of Light.
For the challenge, Philip dove down with his paints, canvas, easel and breathing apparatus, to reach his location. His paintings illustrated the scene 84 years ago, when Penelope Powell and Graham Balcombe first plunged into the dark waters at Wookey Hole to complete the world's first cave dive.
The paintings will go on display in the Cave Diving Museum at Wookey Hole, where they will join a new display about the world's first cave dive in 1935. Other items in the collection include early examples of deep-sea diving equipment used to explore the caves in 1935, such as diving helmets, boots and pumps.
Philip said: "My passion for art is equalled only by my passion for exploration and discovery, and I always push myself to the limit of what is possible to create my artwork. It made perfect sense to me to paint this iconic scene from 84 years ago, deep underwater, in the atmospheric caves at Wookey Hole where the first ever cave dive took place."

Masoom Ali Baba Qalandari Silsila Panipat
Qalandar (Persian origin, also written as Qalander) is a title given to sufi holy men especially in South Asia. Some famous Sufis with the title Qalandar include Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalander and Bu Ali Shah Qalandar. The Qalandariyah also refer to the name of a sect of roaming Sufi dervishes.
The Qalandariyah, Qalandaris or "kalandars" are wandering solitary Sufi dervishes. The term covers a variety of sects, not centrally organized. One was founded by Qalandar Yusuf al-Andalusi of Andalusia, Spain. Some kalandars practiced asceticism and often used hashish, alcohol, and other intoxicants.
Starting in the early 12th century, the movement gained popularity in Greater Khorasan and neighbouring regions. The first references are found in 11th century prose text Qalandarname (The Tale of the Kalandar) attributed to Ansarī Harawī. The term Qalandariyyat (the Qalandar condition) appears to be first applied by Sanai Ghaznavi (d 1131) in seminal poetic works where diverse practices are described. Particular to the qalandar genre of poetry are terms that refer to gambling, games, intoxicants and Nazar ila'l-murd - themes commonly referred to as kufriyyat or kharabat.
The writings of qalandars were not a mere celebration of libertinism, but antinomial practices of affirmation from negative action. The order was often viewed suspiciously by authorities. The Kalendar of the Arabian Nights is properly a holy muslim ascetic who abandons the world and wanders about with shaven head and beard.
In some culture Qalandar's are controversial and viewed as heretic. In other places they are exalted and considered elect holy men. In Persian sufi poetry written in eleventh through fifteenth century there is praise for Qalandars. Rumi for instance wrote:
Bazm-e sharab o lal o kharabat o kaferi
molk e qalandarast o qalandar az u bari
guyi qalandaram man o in del pazir nist
zira keh afarideh nabashad qalandari.
molk e qalandarast o qalandar az u bari
guyi qalandaram man o in del pazir nist
zira keh afarideh nabashad qalandari.
Carousing and ruby - wine and ruins and disbelief,
These are the kingdom of the qalandar, but he is detached from it.
You say "I am qalandar!" But that is not agreeable,
since qalandarom is uncreated.

What is a Qalandar? A Qalandar is called a free spirit who has no wordly shackles and they are different from all ordinary human nature. In popular folk beliefs its considered that one Qalandar possess the power of hundred Walis (saints). Qalandars have discarded the lower human nature and flown to their lord. Qalandars can seem to be strange or act or dress strange. Their personality is different and sometimes bizare, but in reality a Qalandar is in Jazb, a secret reality intoxicated in the love of God and Divine Figures, messengers and saints. They closely resembles to wandering zen buddhist monks in their outward modes and sometime in their fierce madness due to intoxication into 'other reality'. Often time they are given special vision and hidden mysteries of reality are made known to them.
Some define Qalandars as an itinerant sufi, a wandering dervish, who learns and teaches during his travels and wandering.
Qalandar's are sometime considered hidden saints, embodiment of the perfect man (insan-i kamal) who hide themselves in the robe of beggar and wanderer. Although there has been distinction made between those who took the dress of qalandar as a fancy and those whose spiritual concerns are genuine.
The Qalandars deconstructs selfhood. He obliterates identity. He seeks to become "not Me" to himself.
The 13th century sufi Najm al-Din Daya Razi wrote about the figurative significance of the qalandar as: "The student of the path or Morid, must have the attribute of one who courts reproach and the character of a qalandar, but not in the sense of contravening the sacred law and imagining this to be the desired state.

Masoom Ali Baba - Qalandari Silsila Panipat
The Qalandariyyah (Arabic: قلندرية, Hindi: क़लन्दरिय्या, Bengali: ক়লন্দরিয়্য়া), Qalandaris or Kalandars are wandering Sufi dervishes. The term covers a variety of sects, not centrally organized. One was founded by Qalandar Yusuf al-Andalusi of Andalusia, Spain.
Starting in the early 12th century, the movement gained popularity in Greater Khorasan and neighbouring regions, including the South Asia.[1] The first references are found in the 11th-century prose text Qalandarname (The Tale of the Kalandar) attributed to Ansarī Harawī. The term Qalandariyyat (the Qalandar condition) appears to be first applied by Sanai Ghaznavi (died 1131) in seminal poetic works where diverse practices are described. Particular to the qalandar genre of poetry are terms that refer to gambling, games, intoxicants and Nazar ila'l-murd - themes commonly referred to as kufriyyat or kharabat. The genre was further developed by poets such as Fakhr al-din Iraqi and Farid al-din Attar.
The Qalandariya may have arisen from the earlier Malamatiyya and exhibited some Buddhist and Hindu influences in South Asia.[2] They condemned the use of drugs and dressed only in blankets or in hip-length hairshirts.[3]
The writings of qalandars were not a mere celebration of libertinism, but antinomial practices of affirmation from negative action. The order was often viewed suspiciously by authorities.
The term remains in popular culture. Sufi qawwali singers the Sabri brothers and international Qawwali star Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan favoured the chant dam a dam masta qalandar (with every breath ecstatic Qalandar!), and a similar refrain appeared in a hit song from Runa Laila from movie Ek Se Badhkar Ek that became a dancefloor crossover hit in the 1970s.
In Pakistan and North India, descendents of Qalandariyah faqirs now form a distinct community, known as the Qalandar biradari

Teaching A Malang Photography On Canon 60 D
Amin Malang belongs to the Sufi order of Madarriya , he is one of the most daring malangs..he defended the Shrine of Sultan Shah Baba that he takes care of at Vijapur Takia Mehsana district...and he did not allow the tomb to be desecrated , and narrated the memories of the Gujrat riots 2002 ,,
And we met at Makanpur 2013 Urus of Zinda Shah Madar , he is building a huge mosque at Vijapur Takia and in this town the Hindus and the Muslims live like brothers and all participate in the urus of the towns Holy Saint ,,he invited me to Vijapur for the Urus saying that all the malangs would be coming from all over India including Syed Masoomi baba , and Syed Rafiq baba but none turned up so I left Vijapur disappointed as I am documenting the Dam Madar Malangs , however I took a bus and traveled to Unjha and shot the Holy Shrine of Mira Datar..the largest Sufi mental hospital for holistically curing insane made people , possessed people ,
Teaching Amin Baba photography was childs play.. he said he learnt it watching me avidly shooting pictures ,,

"Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder." ― Rumi
Syed Masoomi Baba Aqsan is head of the Dam Madar Malangs a senior monk highly respected revered for his humility ,he is also a holistic healer and an exorcist,..
I have know Syed Masoomi Baba and Syed Rafiq Baba his main Murid right hand since 2005 ,, I documented their Madarriya order along with the Rifai Silsila ,,
But call it divine interpretation I became a Malang too in 2011 along with a Belgian friend ,, and the Malangs come in great numbers to the Urus of Khwajah Garib Nawaz,, The Greatest Sufi Saint of the Chishtiya Order in India ,,though the Malangs dont miss the Urus of their own patron saint Zinda Shah Madar at Makanpur UP.
Sadly this Holy Shrine close to Kannauj the constituency of Mrs Dimple Akhilesh Yadav .. has no infrastructure , no hotels no toliets , no ladies toilets , gents ladies children defecate in the fields ,,and Zinda Shah Madar is a great Sufi Malang pilgrim center , but it saddened me , bad roads , bad transport and the sufferings of the North Indian pilgrims ,,,Hindus Muslims all come to this Holy Shrine , women are not allowed in the Dargah concourse and watch from far. the Holy Shrine is shaped like the Kaba , and nobody can enter the entrance is a small trapdoor ,,,
If any place fascinated me after Ajmer Sharif it is Makanpur , and I went there in 2013 ,, never been able to go back.. but next year I will be going with my French photographer friend ,,
A Seven Year Old Marziya Shakir Shoots The Magic Of India At Mahim
"You wander from room to room
Hunting for the diamond necklace
That is already around your neck!"
― Rumi
A Sufi Malang grandfather ,and a Naga Sadhu from Haji Malang.. perhaps this was the fist time in her life she was a bit scared shooting the Naga Sadhu ,but I told her it was ok, he was my very good friend , I met him smoking the chillum on the foothills of the Malangad mountains when I visited the Haji Malang Shrine during the Urus ,, and than recently we meet at Trimbakeshwar Nasik Kumbh . they are all devotees chelas of a Naga Sadhu who stands on one leg raising his arm..
But I could not spend time with him I was busy getting clearance for the Shahi Snan from the cops for my Naga Gurus cavalcade the following day ...with one of his disciples a local from Trimbakeshwar ..actually a farmer who does odd jobs for my Guru..
Marziya will remember this encounter later in life .. the magic of the humility of India ,,a tolerant Sadhu samaj a tolerant Sufi mindset beyond sectarian politics ,, All the Nagas who know me are aware I am a Shia Muslim living among the Malangs and have no issue ,,we get along fabulously ,, they smoke hash I dont ,, but I love shooting their pictures and they love being shot by me ,,
The guy behind the two of us is a Sufi Bawa from Mahim a friend of this Naga Sadhu,.. they were smoking the chillum when I caught up with them.. and I had bought Marziya to Cafe Irani Chai my friend Dr Mansoor Showghis iconic watering hole for Irani tea and bun maska.

Guru Nanak Gurupurab Afzalgunj Hyderabad
Nanak Nich kahe vichaar,
Waria na jaava ek waar,
Jo tud bhave sai bhali kaar,
Tu sada salamat nirankaar
Kissi Ne Pucha Tera Gharbaar Kitna Hai
Kissi Ne Pucha Tera Karobaar Kitna Hai
Kssi Ne Pucha Tera Parivaar Kitna Hai
Koi Virla Hi Puch Da Hai,
Tera Guru Naal Pyaar Kitna Hai…
Guru Nanak Gurpurab also known as Guru Nanak's Prakash Utsav and Guru Nanak Jayanti, celebrates the birth of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak.[2] This is one of the most sacred festivals in Sikhism.[3] Apart from Sikhs, Hindus and other followers of Guru Nanak's philosophy also celebrate this festival.
The festivities in the Sikh religion revolve around the anniversaries of the 10 Sikh Gurus. These Gurus were responsible for shaping the beliefs of the Sikhs. Their birthdays, known as Gurpurab (or Gurpurb), are occasions for celebration and prayer among the Sikhs.
Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, was born on April 15, 1469[2] in Rai-Bhoi-di Talwandi in the present Shekhupura District of Pakistan, now Nankana Sahib.[4] His birth is celebrated on Kartik Poornima, the full moon day in the month of Kartik. In the Gregorian Calendar, the celebration usually falls in the month of November, but its date varies from year to year, based on the traditional dates of the Indian calendar.[5] It is a Gazetted holiday in India.
The celebration is generally similar for all Gurpurabs; only the hymns are different. The celebrations usually commence with Prabhat Pheris. Prabhat Pheris are early morning processions that begin at the Gurudwaras and proceed around the localities singing hymns. Generally two days before the birthday, Akhand Path (a forty-eight-hour non-stop reading of the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of the Sikhs) is held in the Gurdwaras.
The day prior to the birthday, a procession, referred to as Nagarkirtan,[6] is organised. This procession is led by the Panj Pyaras (Five Beloved Ones).[5][7] They head the procession carrying the Sikh flag, known as the Nishan Sahib and the Palki (Palanquin) of Guru Granth Sahib. They are followed by teams of singers singing hymns[7] and devotees sing the chorus. There are brass bands playing different tunes and 'Gatka' teams display their swordsmanship through various martial arts and as mock battles using traditional weapons.[5][6] The procession pours into the streets of the town. The passage is covered with banners and gates decorated flags and flowers, for this special occasion.[5][6] The leaders spreading the message of Guru Nanak.[5]
Guru Nanak Jayanti 2010 at Pune, Maharashtra, India
On the day of the Gurpurab, the celebrations commence early in the morning at about 4 to 5 am.[5][6] This time of the day is referred to as Amrit Vela. The day begins with the singing of Asa-di-Var (morning hymns).[5][6] This is followed by any combination of Katha[6] (exposition of the scripture) and Kirtan (hymns from the Sikh scriptures), in the praise of the Guru.[5] Following that is the Langar, a special community lunch, which is arranged at the Gurudwaras by volunteers. The idea behind the free communal lunch is that everyone, irrespective of caste, class or creed,[8] should be offered food in the spirit of seva (service) and bhakti (devotion).
Night Prayer sessions are also held in some Gurudwaras, which begin around sunset when Rehras(evening prayer) is recited, followed by Kirtan till late at night.[5] The congregation starts singing Gurbani at about 1:20 am at night, which is the actual time of birth of Guru Nanak. The celebrations culminate at around 2 am.[5]
Guru Nanak Gurpurab is celebrated by the Sikh community all over the world and is one of the most important festivals in the Sikh calendar. The celebrations are especially colourful in Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh. Even some Sindhis celebrate this festival.
A Grandfather Speaks Out
When I married on 26 November 77 I did not change much I drank I went on destroying myself when I became a father in 1979 nothing changed much two more kids and my life was as meaningless self destructive as ever but the birth of my first granddaughter 24 Nov changed me I gave up booze completely never touched a drop stopped smoking and my life centered around Marziya she was my penance I took care of her and tried to wash my sins of neglecting all my three kids when they needed me more I could not get out of the bottle .Nerjis came soon after and she brightened my life as a Malang than Zinnia my son Saifs daughter the prettiest doll in our house .So grandfather was a gift of a kind understanding forgiving God and now I know I can die peacefully .
Had my grandmother Nazmi Begum widow of Daroga Nabban Sab descendant of Mir Anis decided to leave India with her step sons and family to take the train to Pakistan we would have died a Million deaths just by the thought of it .
She stayed back at Thwai Tola Pata Nala through the many Sunni Shia riots and was sane enough to give my mother's hand to my dad who worked in Mumbai since 1937 ..my dad was 15 they say when he left Lucknow my mother was 15 when she married my dad and came to live with him in the slums of Kurla Bakhar .I was born in Lucknow at my grandmother's house .
I don't like Lucknow it did not get into my bloodstream I am a pucca Mumbaikar.And now a Bandraite.
The Ex Drug Addict ,,My Tryst With Drugs ,,
I only know one thing I gave up drugs a few months after my marriage in 1977 but sadly could not give up booze it took me many years ,,and I have been both out of booze and drugs since many years now.
I started smoking reefers and chillum with Keith Kanga Atomic Forest .. when I stayed with Keith before my SSC exams ,, and it became strong once I entered college ,we mostly smoked in the corridors of the archives at Elphinstone College ,, we were born dreamers , our adda for getting hash was behind Rhythm House , close to my friends South Indian restaurant ,..and it was at this time I met some more hardcore friends and the smoking became heavy buying stuff from behind Taj ..sometimes the garden near Liberty cinema ,,, and my friends brother in law was a Kashmiri don at Shuklaji street , he had a rummy club .. they smoked chandul I smoked the chillum , 14 balls with my other friends ,, there were times after a smoke we added sugar to country liquor and jumped into the sea at Gateway crazy days ,, crazy times all came to an end ,, soon enough after I was doped to my gills in my commerce exam finals ,, boozing would not stop because of these friends where I worked at the Taj.
Now looking back.. I wonder , I saw Porus my best friend chase beers with brown sugar at Wales Bar , he told me to try it out for kicks but I preferred hash..
Porus became a vagrant begging on the streets he lived at Cuffe Parade , a lot of friends became hardcore alcoholics I attended a few funerals ,, my turn had not come yet ,,
Once I gave up hash and began documenting the Rafaees , they smoked a lot , and had one grouse I did not share the chillum.. Hassan Ganda bought the best Afeem from the jungles but it was not for me I did not partake in his poison.. I simply shot them and photography was what helped me get of booze , it became a more intoxicating drug.. than what I drank... we came from Colaba to drink at the Pali Auntys joints near Union Park.. jeera and water pickle .. or Danda for fresh country jambool.. and actors came to drink in the house of the Kolis that were booze joints too.
And now after so many years ,there is no urge no yearning for the forbidden stuff that saved me from the gutter and early death and it was my wife who bought me out of this Unknown Zone .. without her I think I would have not made it this far ,,
And married now since 1977 ,, these are stray thought a day before my wedding anniversary.. tomorrow .
ps I went to Muscat in 1980 to get away from booze found there was more drugs and booze in Muscat Muttrah where I stayed ,,so came back defeated back to more heavy drinking and chaos.

In The Beginning Was The Camera
In 2010 I gave my granddaughter Marziya Shakir a platform on Flickr , including her sister Nerjis though it was impossible to handle 3 accounts .. I gave them both Twitter handles Facebook accounts both deactivated , and their blog platforms on Blogspot .
I documented the life story of all my granddaughters birth and shot their nuances their growth..more of Marziya and Nerjis as I had groomed them both as young street photographers .
Nerjis enjoys chatting with beggars , she advises them to wear clean clothes and they love her chatter and she is 4 she will tell her mom or my wife to give them money ,, she loves the Muslim beggar ladies kids and this time told her mom to give away all her old clothes old toys to them.. so teaching these two kids photography has been a positive change to their lives .. I showed them the Bandra slums ,, took them to tution classes in the slums ,,so they could see life.
Photography did not give me a commercial foothold I never had a desire nor inclination but it served as the best teacher for my grandkids ,, none of her school friends or teachers know about Marziyas prowess with the camera ,, above all the camera changed me too through my grandkids ,,Many a freind warned me no to expose my grandkids to street photography at this young age ,,but I did the lepers , the deformed the cripple the hijras I made them shoot all these people above all I made them aware of other religions , Hindu temples , Churches ,,they have the greatest love for Fr Jaun St Peter Church.. and Easter they would ask me to take them to the Church,.
I dont know much about their future but through the third eye of Shiva I opened their cosmic minds too ,, I was lucky I had 3 great teachers and others like most of you ,, my grandkids had me ,, they trusted me ,, and I tried not to fail them ...when a child sees the world through the viewfinder the entire vision of the world changes ,, the camera has been a catharsis in our house ..
And every photographer that came to my house they would watch him or her and learn their style , and they were inspired by a lot of them.. Marc de Clercq , Glenn , Manuela Kim Violla so many ,,,
And I am indebted to all of them...everyone of them..and to all of you who read my posts ,,see my pictures..
I am missing the birthday girl but than sometimes absence does make the heart grow fonder ..Marziya Nerjis are at their maternal grandparents house for Chehlum.
It Is Beggars And More Beggars That We Prolifically Make In India
Wherever you go in Mumbai.. you cant escape them.. and they come in hordes to beg to re start a new life away from their farmlands their shanties , and Mumbai is a poor dreamers Paradise ,,
And I shoot beggars ,, but I must reiterate though I shoot beggars I document Muslim beggars more poetically being a Muslim myself ,, calling myself Muslim is not an easy one being a Shia Muslim.. a part of the radicalized Muslim world calls us Rafidis Heretics ,, so be it .. I got Hussain and Humanity asymmetrically through my so called heresy.
This beggar father and child doped with a cough mixture I shot at Lalbagh during the Hindu feast of Ganesh Chaturthi at Lalbagh Chya Raja the great icon of secular Mumbai..
And like him on this road leading to Parel Station were mothers with their kids all doped crying out for money help..
During the Urus of Makhdhoom Shah Baba Mahim in the dargah lane you will find a lot of beggars , beggars from Kashmir too, women with hardy husbands and chubby cute kids asking alms ,, the deformed crippled blind lame all come to beg in this famous Mahim Dargah lane ,
Than there is Haji Ai Dargah and its countless beggars in all shapes sizes ,,, adding to their business of begging are the Bawas Malangs and the Sawalis ,, The Sawalis demand money to go back to say Ajmer , so they shout out to the Holy Saint and when the crowd gives them the return fare they leave the place very happy and satisfied.
There are Maharashtrian families that beg near station they have no money to go home and request you to buy them meals and tickets to go home ..and you will Muslim families begging at Ajmer or other out station dargahs in the same manner .. ticket to go home .. even after they get the money they change the venue and beg at another location for the fare.
I paradoxically cant escape beggars , I meet them at ever step of my life ,,there are an integral part of my beggar poets life .
I shoot them from buses taxis ,, I shoot them in trains ,, and I dont know if anyone buys beggar pictures nobody all these years on the net has ever approached me for beggar pictures though people would willingly buy my naked Naga Sadhu pictures or my prolific Hijra pictures ,, but I dont deal in pictures ,,neither buy nor sell.. I shoot original content ,,
Most of the beggars know me bless me and thank me .. some think I am a beggar too and though with a camera in my hand ladies have given me money and asked me to pray for them..
If I was a bit more educated I could have done a thesis on Beggars ..more as a storyboard with minimum words and some poetry.
And shooting pictures to titillate is not my cup of tea I am a photo blogger ,, we are story tellers , we dont use frames on our street side pictures no fucked water marks ,, and you can recognize our pictures much before you see them.. on Facebook Flickr or Twitter .
Beggars is my lifeline to God .. beggars are his constantly lost tribe ,, and we make beggars to appease the professional demands of our religion and misplaced charity ,..
Religion in India is one of the richest business after politics and acting on screen and hey yes beggars are great actors too.. they could set the stage on fire with their dialogues ,,

If The Mumbai Police Saw The World Through The Camera They Would See What I See
In Mumbai it is selective policing ,, if the erstwhile Bandra cops came on a photo walk with me they will see the various joints of the proliferating drugaddicts of Bandra ,,on the Bandra skywalk, beneath the skywalk near the Sunni Station Road Mosque at the exit point near Slaughter House Compound and the main Bandra Juma Masjis near the dismantled escalator ,, did you know that the stupid creators of this public wasted taxpayers money built a escalator that was taken away piece to pierce by the drugaddicts and other scrap scavengers ,,
Why should the Bandra cops see all this they are busy catching innocent kids and beating them up,, but the real dreaded drugaddicts move about freely.
The main adda is behind the garbage bins of the entrance of the dirtiest filthiest ugly slums Shastri Nagar of Bandra ,, you can see them hidden from the public shooting drugs ,, but do the residents locals care ,, they are busy trying to run their homes with rising dal prices ,, standing for hours in a kerosene line ,, life is really really bad for the poor in the slums .
Cops are happy giving protection to those who were elected to protect us from criminals and insensitive bullying cops ,, and perhaps this segment of cops might be a minority but it is bad outsourcing .. measuring their chests height but not their inborn bias , negativity even their hate for Muslims and few other communities ..one CP goes another comes like a musical chair .. but the attitude of humanity kindness hardly exists in police stations ,, you need a video to go viral to know what the public suffer at cop stations .
And I am not an activist , I have no issue with cops save what I see on the streets of Bandra,,and I dont morph or photo shop my images they are straight from the underbelly of street life that I shoot as a documentarist .. not for money or commercial gain.
I think if cops took up photography I am certain much will change provided they shoot what I shoot and not selfies with film stars and celebrity politicians ,
And finally so many years so many governments and no police reforms , same dingy police quarters ,,same apathy neglect .. I think our representatives should add the police to the Acche Din dreams and Sab Ka Sath Sab Ka Vikas .
Shooting Chehlum In Lucknow ,,2014
This was shot in Lucknow last year in color obviously , blood stands out as protest in color defying both space and time ,, though I have shot Moharam in Lucknow in BW too on Ilford Delta 100 ASA ,, It was my personal favorite but I dont shoot film anymore I prefer shooting color and than tweaking a few pictures BW ,, as my enduring efforts at fine art so to speak.
I dont wont ever use Photo Shop.
And Moharam in BW might look like a man inked for the wrong reasons .. in Mumbai inking is another political pastime ,, but shooting a mans bleeding in BW is inking his resolve his anger his pain that has lived since 1400 years .. along with the throaty chant of Ya Hussain.. it never ends it will never end ,,
Moharam Chehlum is the 40 day of the Martyrdom of Imam Hussain grandson of the Holy Prophet , and in memory of the Battle of Karbala with the Caliph of the Umayad Dynasty accursed Yazid,,
After Chehlum gets over the Shias celebrate Athvi when Moharam officially comes to an end ,,, the next day . or dawn the Shias celebrate the victory of Good over Evil burn effigies of the Killers of Imam Hussain .. and appesae the Mother of Imam Hussain Princess Zehra daughter of the Holy Prophet of Islam.
Th most prolific Athvi celebrations in mourning take place in Lucknow with the Chup Tazia and the burial of the same and a lot bloodletting at Kazmain..
The Anjumans from allover Lucknow come to the Roza of Imam Hussain at Kazmain... people come here do matam and cry, huge tears that I tried to shoot also in BW ,,,
But this year I might not be able to go to Lucknow for Chehlum and hope to be there for Athvi.. cutting my head with Baney Bhais anjuman on the streets ,,,

This trail has changed over the years. Check out the Official Route for the current route as of 2018.
I have avoided this trail for many years because I have considered it to close to civilization. Or should I say sprawling civization finally growing and butting up against the national forest. However, it is time I post my summary on my favorite hiking site after having hiked Trail 62 this afternoon.
I would best describe the Ranch Trail as domisticated, easy to get to, easy to navigate, and for some, scenic. The trailhead parking is generous, does boast a nice outhouse, and there is no water.
Once you pass the gate, the trail is wide open for about 2/3 of the way. Pinon pines, scrub oak, manzanita bushes, and homes dot the landscape; the traffic noise from State Highway 69 I found annoying.
There does come a point when you go around a little hill, all the nuisance of homes on hillsides, homes sprawling on the semi-flat terrain, Gateway Mall, traffic noise will disappear for a short time. Then you can look east and see the nice open vista of the forest below. And your hike continues into a draw which is covered with scattered pockets of snow. Ponderosa pines, dead, dying, and struggling, providing shade. And then after about three miles you reach the trail end where it meets Trail # 9854, the "Seven Mile Gulch Trail". Break time for trail mix and water.
In closing, I do not care for Trail 62. But I will rate it as a two because it does not allow for motorize recreation. It is a trail close enough to Prescott, should anyone visit the area and would like a quick hike. And on the way down you will see some nice views of Thumb Butte, Granite Mountain, the Dells, Mingus, and San Francisco Peaks.
Check out the Official Route and Triplogs.
Gate Policy: If a gate is closed upon arrival, leave it closed after you go through. If it is open, leave it open. Leaving a closed gate open may put cattle in danger. Closing an open gate may cut them off from water. Please be respectful, leave gates as found.
Leave No Trace and +Add a Triplog after your hike to support this local community.

One-Way Notice
This hike is listed as One-Way.
When hiking several trails on a single "hike", log it with a generic name that describes the hike. Then link the trails traveled, check out the example.

Files for developing Minetest mods, mainly in Lua
This mod contains a set of nodes that can be used to construct highly customizable and modular tunnel-boring machines, bridge-builders, road-pavers, wall-o-matics, and other such construction/destruction contraptions.
Github link: https://github.com/minetest-mods/digtron
This mod adds many new types of trees to the game. They are, in no particular order:
Several sizes of generic jungle trees, two types and several sizes of firs, palms, apple trees, oaks, giant sequoias, two types of birches, two types of spruces, pine, willow, acacia, rubber trees, and optionally beech trees.
All trees are generated at map-generation time, and so will appear only in newly-generated terrain. By default, trees spawn fully-grown, but you can also configure it to spawn trees in the form of fast-growing (ABM-driven) saplings.
If you plant a sapling, it will grow eventually into a tree via an ABM, though much more slowly than the ones spawned at mapgen time, and only if they're planted on the same surface that the tree would normally generate on (e.g. sand for palms, dirt with grass for the others, for now). This way you can still, for example, "plant" a sapling into a flower pot or some other non-growing surface and use it decoratively.
All of these trees can be harvested and crafted into wood planks which can be used in any recipe that relies on the "wood" group.
All leaves eventually decay, at a fairly slow rate so as not to cause too much CPU load. Except for palms, any leaf block that is more than 5 nodes from the trunk/branch it normally spawns with will decay; apples, cones and coconuts will fall to the ground if there's nothing left to hold them up. Palms have a 15-node radius since their leaves are so wide.
Dependencies: Minetest 0.4.16 and corresponding minetest_game, and biome_lib.
Recommends: moreblocks; also vines if you want better-looking jungles.
Introducing: The weather mod (WIP)
At the moment it contains rain and snow. Snow will pile up if you uncomment a section in snow.lua where it says only for faster PCs.
It randomly starts and stops raining / snowing.
You can also manually control the precipitation using
/setweather rain
/setweather snow
/setweather none
(requires weather privilege)
Areas is a advanced area protection mod based on node_ownership.
To convert the area data from a node_ownership installation run /legacy_load_areas 0
Ethereal NG (next-generation) brings many new biomes to Minetest as well as a host of new items and features that spice up gameplay and give players that little something extra to look for while exploring the world.
A huge thanks to Chinchow who was the inspiration behind Ethereal and everyone who helped make this mod bigger and better throughout it's release :)
Make sure you are using Minetest 0.4.14+ and start a new world (anything but v6), then enable Ethereal in the mods list... To make things even more interesting Ethereal has been designed to work alongside Farming Redo, Mobs Redo and Baked Clay mods.
Introducing snow and ice to Minetest:
This mod adds snow biomes to minetest.
There are nine biome types: (click on one to see the image)
You *may* experience server slow down while the snow biomes are generated.
Snow biomes is compatible with a v7 generated map.
This mod adds ambient sounds that you would naturally hear in the setting you are in. (Bats in caves, crickets at night, etc.) It also adds some amazing music. The motivation is to immerse you in Minetest so that it feels more like reality and less like a game.
Initially inspired by kddekadenz's music mod code and uses mauvebic's bird sounds from 4seasons mod.
/svol 1 (sets volume of ambient sounds to their defaults. Use a number of 0 to 1) .5 = 50% decrease from default value
/mvol 1 (sets volume of music to their defaults. Use a number of 0 to 3.3) 3.3 = 330% increase over default value
You will need to wait for the sound/song to stop playing to hear the difference in the next sound/song. If you force a change in sound by moving elsewhere you will hear difference immediately. See ambience configuration below for more fine grained control of volume and frequency of sounds.

I've just started participating in Minted design contests, but I'm loving it. It is such a great ways for designers to be a part of a community and keep up on their design skills. Their latest contest was particularly inpsiring, both because of the creative brief as well as the prize!
Minted partnered with People Magazine and their annual World's Most Beautiful Woman issue and to celebrate, asked the Minted community to design art prints featuring one of ten famous quotes about beauty. Winners will be chosen by voters as well as three celebrity judges and winner will be featured on People.com!
So, it's shameless self promotion time. I'd be so honored if you'd give my designs your vote with a high ranking! Thank you for the love!!
There were so many beautiful designs (no pun intended). Here are a few favorites I stumbled on when doing some voting myself.

My partner and I are thinking about adopting a new set of raises over one 1M openings. Among other stuff, we'd like to differentiate between a weak (say, 5-8) and a strong (9-11) simple raise. A friend of mine suggested a scheme, which I've slightly modified to look like this:
1♥-2♦: natural, GF or 5-8 hcp, 3(4)♥
When I say 3(4)♥, I mean "usually 3 hearts, but may be 3=4=3=3 or similar".

My question is about changing the data source of layers in ArcGIS Online.
I have a webmap shared with a few test groups in my organization ( I work for local government). It's a basic civic infrastructure type map that I eventually plan to roll out to everyone in our department.
Most of the layers in the map are pointing to a feature service that I have published from arcmap. I had originally planned to just update it once a week by publishing from the map. However, our IT department has been working on getting more of our ArcServer SDE layers put into our REST services directory. This is great since I won't have to update it weekly like I had planned.
But.....I'm trying to figure out how I can switch my current map over to using these services without having to re-create the whole map. I have a bunch of layers in the map with multiple filters, redundant layers used for labelling, etc.
Is there a way to just point the existing web map layer to a new source or am I going to have to add the REST service layers like new?
The main reason I have for wanting to do this besides just the time it would take is I'm trying to preserve the symbology I created in Arcmap. As far as I can tell the only ways to have custom symbology are 1. - publish from Arcmap , 2. - store images in a directory and link to them.
Am I missing something?

Honolulu Star-Bulletin – March 3, 1966
Former world champion Lou Thesz and Luther Lindsey wrestled to a draw in one of the triple main events last night on the Civic Auditorium mat card.
Thesz took the first fall with a body scissors, but Lindsey was awarded the second with a flying arm lock. Time ran out before either grappler could gain the deciding three-second count.
Ripper Collins defeated the Golden Terror when the masked wrestler was counted out for the third and deciding fall. Collins took the first fall with an atomic drop and the Terror countered with a half-crab submission hold.
Johnny Barend and "Oddjob" Togo took two out of three falls from Nick Kozak and Lord Blears in the tag match.
Neff Maiava defeated Lou (Shoulders) Newman in a preliminary match when the referee disqualified Newman for receiving off-the-mat aid from Johnny Barend.


text: I think this should really be called 'Creepy Crawly' not 'Creepy Crawley'. Unless it's a game about something sinister going on in a boring West Sussex Town. But of course, it isn't. So instead, live out your fantasy of being a horrible, ugly creepy crawly, wandering around eating fruit and vegetables and avoiding toadstools. Before someone hits you with a rolled up bit of newspaper, you scary many-legged bastard.

The new SMILE does it again! Like its predecessors BRIO Smile and SMILE 2, the new SMILE III has been named best stroller and comfort pram 2019 at best-in-test.se. This is the 6th time a SMILE stroller has been selected as the test winner by the independent consumer test site. Amongst other things, the test review states:
"If you've used the Britax Smile 2,you will immediately feel familiar with the SMILE III – but also quickly realize that everything has become a little better. If there is any pram that can take over after the immensly popular Smile 2 then it is without doubt Britax Smile III."
The stroller has previously received praise for its narrow design, large shopping basket and good lying position. Among the improvements of the SMILE III is also the updated hard carrycot with memory buttons, the large canopy and the comfortable suspension. An outstanding result that once again proves that SMILE is the best stroller choice for future parents.
The pram expert and editor Anna Lavfors has also published a comprehensive review of SMILE III on her blog OmBarnvagnar.se, where she also made a comparison between SMILE 2 and SMILE III.
"No doubt Britax Smile III will take over the role in the stroller market that Smile 2 holds today. And I think it's totally well deserved. Britax Smile III belongs on the top of the podium for really affordable prams."

Suspect in Marinette County Bank Robbery Arrested in Western WI
07/19/2019- A potential suspect has been identified in the bank robbery in Pembine earlier this month. 42-year-old Jason Burgett of Milwaukee was taken into custody following the armed robbery of a bank in Lake Hallie, Wisconsin. He was arrested after leading police on a brief chase in a black GMC Acadia, the same type of vehicle that was used in the robbery at the Stephenson National Bank and Trust Pembine branch July 8th and as was seen during the attempted robbery of a credit union in Escanaba July 5th. Marinette County Sheriff Jerry Sauve says his department has been in contact with the FBI, Michigan authorities, and investigators in Chippewa County and confirms there are several similarities between the cases in all three locations. Burgett is currently being housed at the Chippewa County Jail on a $100000 cash bond.

Ahead of this week's general election in Indonesia, the country's Catholic Church is urging for clean politics against corruption and violence.
"It is important to differentiate between clean politics in the highest sense of the word and the electoral race. In Indonesia, healthy politics is overshadowed by pervasive corruption that implicates politicians, officials, civil servants, and government bodies," Archbishop Ignatius Suharyo of Jakarta said ahead of the April 17 election. "With a lack of moral conscience, the public has lost faith in its leaders," lamented Arch.
With about 87% of an estimated 270 million people professing Islam, Indonesia is home to the world's largest Muslim population. Christians together make up nearly 13%. Despite Catholics forming a mere 3.5%, the Church, with its vast network of educational institutions and social outreach programmes, is greatly respected and appreciated.
In the presidential race, President Joko Widodo is seeking a second term against his challenger Prabowo Subianto. The two men also faced off in the 2014 election, when Widodo won the popular vote by a margin of about 6 per cent, getting 71 million more votes than Prabowo.
Honesty and transparency
Speaking on behalf of Indonesia's Catholic Bishops, Archbishop Suharyo said clean politics means "a clean race and an honest and transparent administration of power that benefits all citizens". "When bad practices, such as violence and corruption, become commonplace," he said, "a general moral crisis takes place." "Citizens are no longer able to distinguish good from
In this situation, he said, the Church should encourage Catholics, inspired by the values of upright politics, to participate in the government framework. Among the candidates running for election are 151 Catholics.
Healthy nationalism
Arch. Suharyo urged for a politics inspired by a sense of healthy nationalism, that is inclusive, understood as national interest rather than a nationalistic ideology that tries to exploit religious fanaticism to gain power, adversely affecting religious minorities.
The 68-year old Archbishop of Jakarta argued that the nation belongs to every citizen and all religions. He recalled outstanding Catholics who contributed to the nation. The "iconic missionary", Dutch Jesuit priest Father Franciscus Georgius Josephus van Lith, he said, supported the Javanese in their struggle against the Dutch colonizers. Indonesia's first native priest, Fr. Albertus Soegijapranata, also a Jesuit, served as the Archbishop of Semarang.
Even though Indonesia has a secular constitution that enshrines religious freedom and diversity, there is a growing threat of intolerance and Islamist extremism in the Muslim-majority nation. Most Indonesians are regarded as moderate but the political climate in south-east Asia's largest economy gets highly polarized around election times along conservative and moderate lines.

Promotion race hots up as Datchworth move second after good win over Harrow
PUBLISHED: 10:43 31 January 2019
The battle to secure promotion from London Three North West looks set to go to the wire after Datchworth took over ownership of second place with a 29-13 win over Harrow.
The Men in Green jumped three points ahead of Old Streetonians, who suffered a defeat to now runaway leaders London Welsh, while Stevenage Town remain just one point behind.
All three of the promotion-chasing teams still have to play each other as well, with Datchworth's next game the trip to Hackney to on February 9 to face Old Street.
But the villagers will have every reason to feel confident after this five-try romp at home to the north London side.
They got things off to the perfect start with a little shove from a scrum allowed Stuart Young to break off and feed Ed Cockburn down the blindside for the opening try.
Tom Wood added the extras.
But as is so often the case that elicited a response from the visitors and after a period of pressure, simple hands along the line gave the winger a score in the corner.
They added to that with a penalty to take the lead but from there Nick Moore took over proceedings, first making a wonderful tackle to prevent another try in the corner before going up the other end and scoring himself.
That left Datchworth leading 12-8 at half-time and like the first half, they were the first to trouble the scorers after the break.
That came from the try-scoring machine that is James Watt as he hung on to an interception and raced in from just outside his own 22.
Harrow continued to keep the hosts honest and a second try from them narrowed the gap to just five.
But after Wood missed with a kick at goal, a penalty try brought the bonus point and some much-needed breathing space.
That was awarded after two scrums had been collapsed over the line and shortly after injuries to the Harrow front-row meant they went uncontested.
But it mattered little as Datchworth completed another fine day with the final try, Wood picking up a loose ball to score with Sam Brunton adding the conversion.

More than three million historic Gloucestershire parish records have been published online for the first time, offering unique insight into the history and people of the area.
Digitised by Ancestry, the world's largest online family history resource, the Gloucestershire Parish Registers, 1538-1988 detail millions of baptisms, confirmations, marriages and burials that took place across Gloucestershire over a period of 450 years. They comprise digital copies of original records held by Gloucestershire Archives.
Searchable online by name, birth date, parish, baptism, marriage, confirmation and burial date, name of spouse and name/s of parents, the records are exclusive to Ancestry and contain vital information for anybody looking to find out more about an ancestor who lived in Gloucestershire at this time.
The collection contains some famous historical names that were born, wed or buried in the local area. These include:
Dr Edward Wilson – A trained physician and natural historian, Wilson is best known for his part in two British expeditions to Antarctica under the leadership of famed explorer Robert Falcon Scott. It was on the second mission that the men were overcome by bad weather just 11 miles short of a life saving food depot. Born in Cheltenham, his 1872 birth record appears in the collection
Ivor Gurney – Gurney was a talented poet and composer whose studies were interrupted by the outbreak of WWI. In 1917 he was gassed whilst fighting and sent to Edinburgh war hospital to recover. Here, he fell in love with nurse Annie Drummond but their relationship didn't last and Gurney was plagued with a series of mental health issues following their split. He spent his last 15 years in and out of psychiatric hospitals and his death record appears in the collection in 1937
Beatrice Webb – A prominent sociologist, economist and social reformer, Webb played a crucial role in forming the Fabian Society – an organization whose purpose was to advance the principles of socialism via reformist means. Together with her husband Sidney she also co-founded The London School of Economics. Her baptism record appears in the collection in 1858
Hubert Cecil Booth (Henry Hoover) – A famed British engineer who designed Ferris wheels, suspension bridges and various factories, Booth invented the first powered vacuum cleaner. Born and raised in Gloucester, his marriage record appears in the collection in 1903
Other fascinating stories revealed in the registers include the burial records of six year old James Morris and his four year old brother John who were tragically killed by a haystack on their way home from school and the baptism record of Samuel Charton which details how he was born in an outhouse at the local vicarage after his mother went into labour whilst travelling home to Shrewsbury from Bristol.
At the start of the 1500s, both the English government and the Church of England became particularly interested in record keeping, and a 1538 Act of Parliament required ministers to document the key life events that took place across their parish. In 1812, George Rose's Act called for preprinted registers to be used for separate baptism, marriage, and burial registers as a way of standardising records.
Starting in 1538, the collection pre-dates the censuses and civil registration making it a valuable resource for anybody looking to trace their ancestors back before official government systems were established.
Ancestry Senior Content Manager Miriam Silverman comments: "Not only does this collection date back to a period in time when official record keeping was rare, it includes the names of some celebrated Gloucestershire residents and even reveals the West Country links of an international pop star. These records present the perfect opportunity to get online and find out more about the lives of people living in the South West of England over four centuries ago."
Ray Theodoulou, Gloucestershire County Council Cabinet Member on behalf of Gloucestershire Archives, said: "We're thrilled that these wonderful archives in our care are now accessible worldwide. Also thanks to this relationship with Ancestry, people in Gloucestershire have free access to Ancestry at their local library, at the Gloucestershire Family History Centre and at Gloucestershire Archives itself. We hope as many people as possible enjoy discovering more about their ancestors and Gloucestershire's past."

That's a great question. You are absolutely right, the key issue is that SMEs are not even aware of all the boxes that must be ticked in order to engage in e-commerce transactions with international buyers. Indeed, it is not on the radar of many SMEs that to sell into, for instance, the European Union, they would need to look at product requirements, trade preferences schemes, health and safety regulations, privacy laws, data protection regulations, etc. And this is logical, as most SME founders and owners are artists, or businessman and women, but not experts on the international legal and regulatory environment.
There are a number of resources out there that aim to help SMEs from developing countries to engage in international e-commerce. To start, the export promotion agencies of various governments have adopted programs to facilitate international e-commerce by SMEs. Moreover, some SMEs have set up associations amongst themselves to address these issues. For instance, during a visit to Nairobi last month for a SheTrades workshop, I met a number of women, all SME business owners, who established the Ubunifu Kenya Association. The association, which focuses on garment and textile SMEs, organizes trainings and webinars about, inter alia, export markets, to bridge the information gap.
Moreover, international organizations have various initiatives that are ensuring SMEs become market-ready. One program that comes to mind is the International Trade Center's SheTrades initiative, which provides women entrepreneurs with a unique network and platform to connect to markets. Another is Connect Americas, from the Inter-American Development Bank, an online platform that helps SMEs in Latin America grow their business.
There exist numerous online resources that provide a good starting point to get a better understanding of the basic legal and regulatory requirements that must be met to sell into the European Union or US market. For the EU, a very useful resource is the Trade Helpdesk. Another useful tool is the CBI, the Centre for the promotion of imports from developing countries, which is an initiative by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The CBI provides comprehensive market information and also helps developing country businesses identify and meet the requirements of European buyers.
Moreover, becoming a pro bono client of Sidley's Emerging Enterprises Pro Bono Program is a great way to find out about the legal and regulatory requirements that must be complied with when selling into high value markets like the European Union or the United States.
A tool kit would be a great idea! This exists for e-commerce more generally, but I have yet to encounter a simplified written guideline focuses on the legal and regulatory issues SMEs in developing countries that want to enter international e-commerce should think about it. Developing this tool would enable SMEs from around the world to know what boxes they must tick, and help them begin ticking these boxes.
RUPA : great.... Let's get started!! : )

Colorado, Estes Park, The Thumb
Colorado, Estes Park, The Thumb. On 20 September Jim Russell (17), Gary Hartman (16), and Penny McMahon (16), one of two parties, started to climb The Needle. Jim Russell took the first lead and arrived at the ledge about forty feet above the ground, having placed only one piton because of a scarcity of suitable cracks. The piton used was a Holubar angle and could only be driven with great difficulty upside down. It was placed at approximately 25 feet above the ground — slightly over halfway to the ledge Russell had attained. It was placed considerably off to the right of the most direct route to the ledge as this was the only crack to be found.
No piton could be driven at the ledge which Russell had attained and no piton cracks could be seen nearby. Hartman was then brought up. (He was tied-in near the center of the 150 foot Columbian Nylon rope.) The two climbers switched positions as Hartman wanted to take the lead. At this time Miss McMahon scrambled up about 10 feet off the ground to the top of a large rock leaning against the lower part of the face directly below the two climbers and proceeded to tie onto their rope.
The climbing party was now roped and ready to climb. Hartman took the lead, being belayed by Russell, who had found an adequate position on the ledge. Hartman had climbed only 6-10 feet above Russell when he slipped and fell. As he slid downwards he struck Russell, dislodging him from his belaying position and they both fell downwards. On his way down, Hartman struck Miss McMahon and landed on his back on the large rock on which she was standing — a fall of approximately 30 feet.
As Russell came down he was arrested by the piton which was clipped to the rope between him and Miss McMahon. He pendulummed across the face, jerking Miss McMahon into the air. They both ended up hanging from the piton a few feet above the ground.
Hartman was killed instantly as a result of a broken neck or backbone. Miss McMahon received a brain concussion and Russell received serious bruises. His hard hat prevented serious injury to his head, as there were two fractures found on the fiberglass "Bucco" helmet.
It is the general consensus of opinion that Gary Hartman's fatal injuries could not have been prevented by a hard hat. Russell and Miss McMahon were both confined to a hospital for several days.
Source: David Whiteman.
Analysis: This is another of those cases where a piton could not be placed for the protection of the leader. Perhaps a bolt should have been placed (neither of the climbers carried bolts) or perhaps another party should have gone up an easier route and belayed the climbers from above.
Jim Russell has suggested that perhaps they should not have attempted a climb of this severity on a CMC trip. He rated the climb as moderately difficult, but stresses that Hartman had often climbed more difficult routes than this. No reason can be offered to explain the fall.

Tips for Choosing the Best Electrician
Electricians are the first people we should always be calling when we are having a problem with electricity. The electrical gadgets can get faulty at home.Once in the house it is always good to check your gadgets so as not to bring any damage example being shock and even damaging worse of the same gadgets. One should always be prepared of anything and thus should always have the electrical or power numbers which can always help and also have the fire extinguishers.
Emergencies come and once they come it it's a case of a fallen power line, make sure that the electricity personnel are called immediately, the power lines should not be touched by anyone and if there is anyone experiencing any shock, then make sure that they lie down, and kept warm until the medics attend to that person.Water is a very bad conductor of electricity and thus should not be used in case of any fire.Being trained for is very important since there are times the lessons Will help very well.
Electricians are always looked for since they always have the solutions for power problems. you have to be confident when doing this job. An electrician job and especially when its busy will always make you want to do the job more and more. You will earn respect from others since they always see the hard work that you are doing. Once they do nice jobs to their clients, hey will always be getting approvals and referrals and thus their network is good and thus good pay. License is always important when you are doing this kind of a job.
Being responsible for this kind of a job is key. The place that you are working on should be very safe so as the work can be done easily.

Since most of us have electrical in the house getting a person who can be able to work on all of them and also fixing them is very good.

Unicef warns that 75, 000 children at risk of starvation in Nigerian refugee camps
Thousands of children will die of severe malnutrition if they do not get aid, said Arjan de Wagt, nutrition chief for UNICEF in Nigeria. Only $24 million has been raised out of the $115 million needed to stop the tragedy. "Lives are literally hanging by a thread." says UNICEF.
If this happens, 750, 000 will be much more than the over 20,000 people killed by Boko Haram, the Islamic terrorist organisation. According to Arjan de Wagt, "Globally, you just don't see this. You have to go back to places like Somalia five years ago to see these kinds of levels."
For all the donations and assistance given to Nigeria in the past couple of years, corruption and stealing of relief material by government officials have compounded the problems and driven refugees into starvation and prostitution by women and girls in many of the camps. Doctors without borders, MSF, said the government's relief agencies are "massively insufficient, uncoordinated and ill-adapted."
Reuters reported on the case of one woman in Maiduguri's Bakassi camp, Amina Ali Pulka, a 30-year-old who had sex in exchange for extra food to give her five children. "I did it because I had nobody to feed me or clothe me," Pulka told Reuters.
She added that the man also gave her money which she used to buy personal items. "Some go out to beg on the streets, others go out of the camp to look for menial jobs, while others use their bodies to get food and money," she told Reuters. "Everybody is talking about it."

This dual coating gets the other cats' coat look rougher, like a washboard. This long fur does not interfere with the grooming of this cat, luckily, because it is not extremely long.

The Balinese kittens have the enviable reputation of being the most intelligent animals amongst the variations from the breed and are often regarded as silent. People who are fond of peaceful moments in their houses should look to adopt this cat breed because of its silent demeanor. And even if they opt to open their mouths and utter a few meows, the noise is a lot gentler than other cat breeds. They can be expected to reside anywhere from 18 to 21 years in an individual life span. This is quite high for cats that, generally speaking, live for an average of ten to fifteen decades.
