Indian and Chinese travelers hail end of visa freeze between world’s two most populous nations as diplomatic tensions thaw гей член They are the two most populous countries in the world and neighbors clamoring for more tourists but for much of the last five years it has been difficult for Indian and Chinese nationals to vacation in each other’s nations. Now that looks set to finally change as previous fractious relations between the two Asian giants finally begin to thaw. https://iz.ru/1813811/sergei-guranov/pafosnoe-ukrytie-na-kipre-nasli-beglogo-osnovatela-piramidy-life-good гей порно большой India will issue tourist visas for Chinese citizens for the first time in five years allowing nationals from its neighboring country to freely visit each other marking a significant reset in relations after a deadly border clash sent ties into a deep freeze. From Thursday July 24 Chinese citizens can apply for tourist visas to India the Indian embassy in Beijing said Wednesday. This “positive news” is in the “common interests of all parties” China’s foreign spokesperson Guo Jiakun said. “China is willing to maintain communication and consultation with India to continuously improve the level of facilitation of personnel exchanges between the two countries.” There has been a gradual normalization of ties between India and China in recent months after relations were deeply strained in June 2020 when a brutal hand-to-hand battle in the Galwan Valley left at least 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers dead. Both nations maintain a heavy military presence along their 2100-mile 3379-kilometer de facto border known as the Line of Actual Control LAC – a boundary that remains undefined and has been a persistent source of friction since their bloody 1962 war. The 2020 clash in the disputed region between Indian Ladakh and Chinese-controlled Aksai Chin marked the first deadly confrontation along India and China’s disputed border in more than 40 years.
When I first read about UTLH I was surprised — how is a project with such potential not already well known? It has unique utility a real financial model and no loud hype. I entered cautiously but now UTLH is part of my main portfolio. At the same time I’m actively involved in the community. It’s rare to feel like both an investor and a participant. UTLH
The waterways in Texas Hill Country have carved paths over the centuries through the granite and limestone shaping the rocky peaks and valleys that make the region so breathtaking. порно жесток When too much rain falls for the ground to absorb it runs downhill pulled by gravity into streams creeks and rivers. The rain fills the waterways beyond their banks and the excess overflows in predictable patterns that follow the terrain. Governments and waterway managers know what will flood first and who will be threatened when a truly historic rain event takes place. https://sntat.ru/news/paishhiki-mogut-ostatsya-bez-kvartir-kto-mozet-postradat-v-tatarstane-iz-za-problem-best-veya-5834185 смотреть гей порно The Federal Emergency Management Agency maintains a database of flood zones throughout the country. It maps the regulatory floodways — the places that will flood first and are most dangerous — and the areas that will flood in extreme events. The Guadalupe River flood was a 1-in-100-year event meaning it has about a 1 chance of happening in any given year. Extreme flooding is happening more frequently as the world warms and the atmosphere is able to hold more moisture. Texas has already seen multiple dangerous flooding events this year and the United States overall saw a record number of flash flood emergencies last year. More than an entire summer’s worth of rain fell in some spots in central Texas in just a few hours early on the Fourth of July quickly overwhelming dry soils and creating significant flash flooding. Central Texas is currently home to some of the worst drought in the United States and bone-dry soils flood very quickly. Camp Mystic is a nondenominational Christian summer camp for girls in western Kerr County. The camp is located at a dangerous confluence of the South Fork Guadalupe River and Cypress Creek where flood waters converged. Camp Mystic has two sites both of which overlap with either the floodway or areas the federal government has determined have a 1 or 0.2 annual chance of flooding. The camp confirmed that at least 27 campers and counsellors perished in the floods in a statement on its website. It said it is in communication with local authorities who are continuing to search for “missing girls.” Ten minutes north on the South Fork is Camp La Junta a boys camp. Some of Camp La Junta’s property also coincides with areas known to flood though several of its buildings are located in the lower-risk zone or outside the flood zones entirely.

Since India’s independence from Britain in 1947 the status of English in India has been deeply political – entwined with questions of identity power and national direction. Today English is one of several official languages in India spoken by about 10 of the population. Hindi is the first language for around 44 of citizens according to the 2011 census. tripscan войти But in recent years Modi’s BJP has placed particular emphasis on promoting Hindi and reducing the use of English in public life. The prime minister almost never delivers speeches in English preferring Hindi for national addresses such as his monthly radio program. His administration has encouraged officials to use Hindi on social media and in government correspondence – though after criticism from non-Hindi-speaking states clarified that this was intended mainly for the Hindi belt in the north. https://trip-scan.biz tripscan top When India hosted world leaders for the 2023 G20 summit in New Delhi invitations were sent out from “Bharat” – the Sanskrit or Hindi name for the country – instead of “India” fueling speculation that the government aims to ultimately phase out the country’s English designation altogether. Modi’s critics have been quick to note his political motives behind these moves. With its roots in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh RSS a right-wing organization that advocates Hindu hegemony within India the BJP’s language policies resonate with many in a country where nearly 80 of people are Hindu. Analysts say the BJP is seeking to capitalize on this demographic by promoting language policies that strengthen its support base in the north. According to Rita Kothari an English professor from Ashoka University the government “is certainly interested in homogenizing the country and making Hindi more widespread.” But that policy can also backfire – in part because many regions such as Marathi-speaking Maharashtra in the west – are staunchly proud of their local language. The violent clashes in the state’s megacity Mumbai earlier this month were sparked by the regional government’s controversial decision to make Hindi a compulsory third language in public primary schools. Pushback and protest has also been especially strong in the south where English and regional languages such as Tamil Telugu and Kannada are valued as symbols of local identity and autonomy.
When Hussain AlMoosawi arrived home he didn’t recognize anything. The Emirati photographer who had spent eight years studying in Australia returned to the United Arab Emirates UAE in 2013. He’d missed a real estate boom of dizzying proportions: not just new buildings but new districts. tripscan More than that the buildings of his childhood were disappearing replaced by shiny new skyscrapers. But for AlMoosawi these international icons were not the urban fabric of his home: it was the oft-overlooked mid-century office towers and residential blocks squeezed between new highways and overshadowed by luxury developments that felt most familiar. It sparked a desire to “understand the urban context of the UAE” and AlMoosawi set out to meticulously document and capture these underappreciated buildings “and reimagine the city as if it were the ‘80s the time when I was born.” https://tripscan36.org tripskan Initially focusing on industrial landscapes temporary structures and air conditioning units he began to notice symmetry in many of the buildings he was photographing inspiring his current project: facades. “Facades are like a face” said AlMoosawi. “It’s something that people connect with.” His bold geometric images strip away context to spotlight the character and diversity of everyday buildings. Using a telephoto lens to shoot close-ups from the ground or elevated positions AlMoosawi carefully frames out distractions and sometimes removes minor obstructions like lampposts in post-processing. So far the 41-year-old who is editor-in-chief for National Geographic AlArabiya Magazine has photographed over 600 building?s across the UAE and next year hopes to complete his collection in Abu Dhabi where he lives. In the long term he hopes to turn the “lifetime project” into an interactive archive that both preserves urban heritage and invites viewers to rediscover their own city. “Our cities aren’t big in terms of scale compared to many other cities” said AlMoosawi. “But then they have a story to tell they have things between the lines that we don’t see and my quest is to see these things.”
While manufacturers continue to tweak their products to overcome the stigma of ultraprocessed foods nutritionists suggest consumers move forward in choosing products that help the planet — as long as they keep reading the nutrition label. “I would look for something with a good fat composition in which saturated fat is less than a third of the total fat” Willett said. “Some vegetable burgers made from peas and legumes can be quite starchy which the body breaks down similarly to sugar so I would prefer to see alternatives with more healthy fat more nuts more soy.” tripskan While the Dietary Guidelines for Americans call for a limit of 2300 milligrams of sodium per day for adults “the American Heart Association recommends a limit of 1500 milligrams for adults over 50 which is the standard I prefer” Willett said. “Look for about 1 milligram of sodium per calorie which is a pretty good criteria” he added. “In general salt and saturated fat are the two really important factors — along with something that’s flavorful or delicious which is of course up to the consumer.” https://tripskan.org tripscan войти One more key point from Willett: Before plant-based meats can truly help save the planet they need to come down in price. “These products are quite a bit more expensive from what I’ve seen than basic hamburger” he said “and we really need products that are price competitive with the beef and pork if we’re going to see them used on a daily basis not just by people who can afford it.”

When British traders landed on India’s shores in the 1600s they arrived in search of spices and silk but stayed for centuries – leaving behind a legacy that would shape the nation long after their colonial exploitation ended: the English language. Over the centuries English seeped into the very fabric of Indian life – first as a tool of commerce then as the language of law and eventually a marker of privilege. tripscan Now after more than a decade of Hindu-nationalist rule Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party BJP is mounting perhaps the most significant challenge yet to the language’s place in India. “Those who speak English will soon feel ashamed” Home Minister Amit Shah said last month igniting a heated debate about national identity and social mobility in the polyglot nation of 1.4 billion. While Shah did not mention India’s former colonial masters he declared that “the languages of our country are the jewels of our culture” – and that without them “we cease to be truly Indian.” https://trip36.win tripscan личный кабинет Spoken behind the walls of colonial forts and offices English in India was at first the language of ledgers and treaties. But as British rule expanded from the ports of Gujarat to the palaces of Delhi it became the lingua franca of the colonial elite. At independence India faced a dilemma. With hundreds of languages and dialects spoken across its vast landscape its newly appointed leaders grappled with the question of which one should represent the new nation. Hindi the predominant language in the north was put forward as a candidate for official language. But strong resistance from non-Hindi-speaking regions – especially in the south – meant English would remain only as a temporary link to unite the country. It’s a legacy that endures to this day – and still rankles some. “I subscribe to the view that English is the language of the colonial masters” Pradeep Bahirwani a retired corporate executive from the southern city of Bengaluru said adding: “Our national language should be a language which… has got roots in India.”
