Imran Ali, a farmer in Panchagarh, could barely get by with sugarcane cultivation in his 1.7 acres of land. Then, in 2005, he rolled the dice and switched to tea production, a gamble that went on to change his life forever.
“As lands in the northern districts are more fertile compared to Chattogram and Sylhet, growers can pluck leaves after a year of planting the saplings.” Shameem Al Mamun senior scientific officer, BTRI, Panchagarh.
“This has been a gamechanger for me as it needs a very little investment,” said the 44-year-old, who earned a profit of about Tk 14 lakh last year and has now expanded cultivation to 8.5 acres.
Ali’s story is not an isolated one but is representative of the small farmers in the northern region, whose socioeconomic status has enhanced thanks to switching to tea production from conventional crops like rice, wheat, sugarcane and jute or tobacco farming that progressively ate up their lands’ fertility.
With such gusto did they take to it that the region — where tea cultivation began in 2002 on 455 acres of land — has leapfrogged Chattogram, a traditional hilly region suitable for tea cultivation, in gross annual production.
It is now second only to Sylhet, accounting for about 15 percent of Bangladesh’s record tea production of 96.5 million kilograms in 2021, according to data from the Bangladesh Tea Board (BTB).
Last year, tea was cultivated on 11,433.9 acres under nine registered and 21 unregistered tea gardens by 8,067 small-scale growers of the northern region.
“As the lands in the northern districts are more fertile compared to Chattogram and Sylhet, growers can pluck leaves after a year of planting the saplings,” said Mohammad Shameem Al Mamun, senior scientific officer at Bangladesh Tea Research Institute, Panchagarh.
The region, where thriving tea cultivation has turned the landscape into a verdant green, has about 50,000 acres of land suitable for tea production, he said.
Tea production in the region will proliferate in the coming days if Saidul Islam’s fortune is any indication.
The resident of Birajot village produces tea saplings, and last year he sold 90,000 saplings, priced at Tk 6 to Tk 10 each.
“That’s a fourfold return on my investment of time and toil,” said Islam, who earned Tk 6 lakh last year.
The industry will expand even faster if the government takes the initiative to set up a state-owned tea factory and a third auction centre in Panchagarh to ensure fair prices, said Amirul Haque Khokon, president of Bangladesh Small Tea Growers Association.
At present, there are two auction centres: one at Sreemangal and the other at Chattogram.
A third auction centre in Panchagarh would greatly bring down the transport costs of the farmers of the northern region, Khokon said, while urging the government to provide irrigation facilities, training and assistance to farmers.
The biggest challenge is in providing training to workers and fair wages for them in ensuring the production of quality tea, according to Mamun.
The tea board always recommends plucking tea leaves manually after a seven-day interval for ensuring the best quality.
“The growers can pluck 32-round to 34-round in a season. But in Panchagarh, the growers usually pluck 6-8-round in a season after about a 40-day interval due to a shortage of trained labour. For this, the leaves become older and the quality of tea deteriorates.”
A tea worker can pluck about 25-30kg leaves with hands compared to 150-200kg daily using a scythe, according to Mamun.
Considering that hand plucking costs Tk 5-6 a kg, a tea worker can earn between Tk 125 and Tk 180 per day.
“This is not adequate for maintaining their family expenses. So, they will lose their interest after a point, which would hamper tea production.”
The situation can only improve if the factory owners pay a fair price for the hand-plucked raw tea leaves, Mamun said.
The BTB has submitted a development project proposal to the ministry concerned for purchasing plucking machines, which would be provided on a community basis to mitigate the labour shortage and also to help ensure the quality of processed tea production.
A third auction centre is Panchagarh is also in the works, Mamun added.
There couldn’t be any better development for growers like Ali, who now lives in a newly-built two-storey building.
“A tea grower can take home a profit of Tk 1.5 lakh to Tk 2.5 lakh from one acre of land after three to four years of tea plantation — this is remarkable.”

Brenda Roberts, Proprietor
Baker Street Downtown,
a.k.a. Baker Street Tobacconist, a.k.a. Baker Street Tobacconist Clocks and Gifts,
a.k.a. Baker Street Time is a nod to Sherlock Holmes known for his appreciation
for fine tobacco products among other things... who resided at 221B Baker Street
in London, England, hence our English decor, the British flag that flies below our
American flag, the names of our custom-blended pipe tobaccos and Sherlock Holmes
memorabilia in the store. We are about fun and lifestyle! It's Baker Street Time...
Time to Enjoy life! The store was originally called Lynell's and was started by
two women who owned it for about a year in the 70's. They sold it to Bob Ryan who had it
for about three years, who sold it to Michael Hackett who had it for four
years when current Proprietor Brenda Roberts purchased it in August of 1986. Bob
Ryan changed the name to Baker Street Tobacconist way back when and it has been
some variation of Baker Street ever since. The original store was on Jefferson Street
in Napa and for a little over five years, there was a 2nd store in St. Helena at
the North end of Napa Valley... that store was eventually moved to our present location
in Downtown Napa and the original location closed and combined into the current
larger location in Downtown Napa.... Baker Street Downtown, where we always have
time for You!


Chinese tourists take pictures of seals in Antarctica in January, 2017. (Photo/China Daily)
New stats are suggesting the number of Chinese tourists travelling to the Antarctica has risen forty-fold over the past decade.
Figures from the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) show some 4,100 Chinese people travelled to the southernmost continent in the 2015-2016 season.
Ten years ago, the number was only 99.
According to the Singapore-based zaobao.com, with the increase of disposable incomes as well as the relatively reasonable tour packages put forward by travel agencies, over 5,000 Chinese people are expected to travel to the Antarctica in 2017.
And China is set to surpass Australia and become the second largest tourist source for Antarctica, following just the US.
Currently, Antarctica tour packages in China cost between 70,000 and 160,000 yuan.
Activities include a close look at local animals such as penguins, seals and whales, as well as camping and hiking.
Most visitors land at the Antarctic Peninsula on vessels departing from southern Argentina.

I read A Field Guide to Getting Lost while travelling in Ecuador, and it really is a perfect book to gift solo-travelling or heart-broken loved ones.
Solnit maps together lessons in loss from history, art, literature, nature, and her own life. She takes us on a journey to the colour blue, to Alfred Hitchcocks’ Vertigo, to endangered and returning species, to ex-lovers, to cartography, to The Clash, to lost explorers from a bygone age… I could go on. 🙃 Carlsberg don’t do rambling, but if they did it would probably look a lot like A Field Guide to Getting Lost by Rebecca Solnit. I surrendered myself to this beautiful rambling, not knowing where it would take me next, and it eventually dawned on me how well this fitted in with the book’s subject matter.
Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark. That’s where the most important things come from, where you yourself came from, and where you will go.
I finished with a greater appreciation of the role loss plays in the world, as well as what can be gained from it.
Solnit’s writing is absolute poetry. I found myself re-reading many sections in order to fully take them in and there’s many I’d like to quote from. Like a true Beyoncé stan, I’ll sign off with a section from the book that the Queen herself posted after the birth of Blue Ivy:
The world is blue at its edges and in its depths. This blue is the light that got lost. Light at the end blue end of the spectrum does not travel the whole distance from the sun to us. It disperses among the molecules of the air, it scatters in the water. Water is colorless, shallow water appears to be the color of whatever lies underneath it, but deep water is full of this scattered light, the purer the water the deeper the blue.
The sky is blue for the same reason, but the blue at the horizon, the blue of the land that seems to be dissolving into the sky, is a deeper, dreamier, melancholy blue, the blue at the farthest reaches of the places where you see for miles, the blue of distance. This light does not touch us, does not travel the whole distance, the light that gets lost, gives us the beauty of the world, so much of which is in the color blue.


Surrounding Chitwan National Park in southern Nepal is one of the best planned and most intelligently developed tourist areas in Nepal. Not only does it offer a wide variety of resorts and lodges, it is also easy to reach - by road or by air. Regular flights are scheduled by Royal Nepal Airlines and other airlines to Meghauli, Simara and Bharatpur. Many resorts provide coach service. Local buses offer a choice between a night ride and a day ride.
Chitwan National Park is perhaps the best park in Nepal for seeing animals in the wild. In the earlier part of the century, when rapid deforestation was devastating Nepal's southern Terai belt, Government of Nepal intervened and proclaimed the Chitwan area a national park.
The Government of Nepal declared the Chitwan region a national park, outlawed settlement and deforestation within its boundaries, and a campaign to save the animals began. Projects carried out with the help of friendly nations have revived the animals that remained. Though the Terai is certainly not what it once was, the preserved portion within the Chitwan National Park is still a treat for animal lovers. Royal Bengal tigers roam the region; one-horned rhinos can be seen charging through the underbrush, feeding and even courting. The Rapti River has been dammed to form a man-made lake called Lamital where water-birds and marsh mugger peckers and many other birds are found in plenty in these forests. Elephant grass, five to six feet tall, provides excellent camouflage for animals. This grass serves as food for the gaur (a local bison), rhino and other herbivores. Once a year, local people are allowed into the park area to cut grass. The grass is dried, and used to thatch roofs or stored for food for the domestic animals during the dry season.
The description of the grandeur of Dev Ghat shrine abounds in Puranas. The confluence of all Gandaki rivers, Dev Ghat shrine lies in the proximity of famous tourist zone Chitwan. Cave of Rishi Valmiki and the small hut where Divine mother Sita stayed, temples, ashrams, and Sanskrit schools that abound here have further embellished the beauty of the shrine. The special significance lies in taking bath in the river on Makar Sankranti – the very day when the shrine gets crowded because of the annual fair.
The place of confluence of Kali Gandaki, Trishuli and Narayani River, Triveni is the holy shrine where Gajendra (great elephant) was redeemed from the cycles of births. Famous also because of the holy Ashram of Valmiki, Triveni’s historicity and antiquity can be experienced even today, which is so astonishing.
According to legends this was the ashram of Rishi Valmiki and Sita had stayed here during Vanvaas. It was this place where she gave birth to Luv and Kush, the two sons of Lord Rama. Several bricks bearing religious imprints have been found around the ashram. According to local myth, this place was protected by five Devas (Gods), One of the deva is at the centre of the ashram while the remaining four protected the other four corner. Every year a festival is organised on the banks of the river, within the compound of the ashram. The fair marks the birth of Luv & Kush and is also a means of facilitating and honouring Rishi Valmiki.

Each colony is sponsored by a different corporation (it is possible to select your sponsor at the beginning of a game), and each has its own particular challenges that you will need to satisfy as the game progresses. After you have landed and began to work out your colony there’s a lot you’ve got to consider which is good because this is the puzzle at the center of the game. Read about Max Polyakov on the link. It wasn’t clean in the event the robots would construct the colony directly, or if their purpose is to gather material which can be used by means of the colonists themselves. So then the colony has to be profitable by itself. There’s a colony on Mars. Of course there’s a secret colony on Mars. The very first colony on Mars is not likely to be constructed by a private business.
The target is eventually to create a city, Musk explained. The target of replacing the demand for some other rockets and planes is to raise revenue. With a focused effort it’s very much doable. In general, the project sounds somewhat dodgy. It is called Mars500. Our present project involves a network of information processing satellites. There are lots of projects set in motion to visit Mars.
What You Should Do to Find Out About The First Colony on Mars Before You’re Left Behind
Voted The ideal place in the solar system to see the mercury transit”, Venus is an excellent location for cosmic observation. Occasionally it’s equally as easy as reaching for the moon, since you know that it will get you off your feet. Our own moon ought to go on such a list too though, particularly with the Prometheus info. If you simply can’t wait to explore distant planets by yourself, there’s a solution indeed. You’re able to be a part of Noosphere projects, if we got you interested, follow the link.
In ten decades, space tourism will be a big industry. Definitely worth the consideration if you’re into more luxurious travel destinations past the face of the Earth! The visit to Mars takes a year and the very first missions towards that purpose of deploying human cargo are set to occur in the 2020s and will involve a variety of flights in and about the Moon. The genuine journey will be very difficult on both the human body and mind, and living on an area like Mars might have a negative psychological effect.
Characteristics of The First Colony on Mars
The focus is on the person. A different sort of understanding of the worth of sending humans into space should be had before that happens. Humans and robots will gain from a solar system that’s wired for networking. By terraforming Mars, it might become habitable for people. There aren’t any humans on Mars. Company Murka saves animals thereby sets a good example for others. A pyramid which might contain all of the understanding of the universe.
Unless, obviously, you’re one of us. There’s no middle course in their opinion. Let’s say at the start of the colonization only one in 100,000 humans will be prepared to cover a ticket to Mars. Individuals wouldn’t go up for a couple years after that. The folks who will travel there will need to endure a 9 month journey in rather close quarters with different individuals. Especially where the the next couple of months are involved. If you stay much longer than a few weeks, you really have to stay for a whole year for the alignment between Earth and Mars to line back up so you can actually arrive back home in a fair period of time, he explained.


There is nothing like the strong fragrant smell of a juicy mandarin when you first peel back the skin. We believe the best citrus in the world comes from the Moora Gingin region, because the climate for citrus is perfect. The soils are more sandy so rain drains through, it doesn’t fill the citrus with water that then drown out the sugars. On top of that the warm weather and clear skies mean the trees also get enough sun to develop the sugars in the citrus. Resulting in dense sweet fruit.

Amongst the seven Principalities that together constitute the United Arab Emirates, the Emirate of Ajman is one of the most progressive. It is an attractive tourist destination boasting pristine white beaches, prestigious resorts and hotels, cultural heritage sites steeped in history, museums and nature reserves. It also offers a vibrant corniche, bustling with shops and restaurants.
Equally attractive is its proposition to businesses. It boasts a population of 500,000 people, which is increasing year on year, thereby offering an ample labour pool. Being located on the Gulf coast it accommodates an ultra modern port - an important maritime focal point that serves over 1,000 ocean-going vessels a year. Additionally, it’s located just a few minutes away, by road, from two major international airports, assuring easy connectivity to the rest of the world.
Ajman’s pristine sandy beach, clear lagoons and natural mangroves are the perfect playground for holidaymakers of all ages with a wide range of watersports on offer.
The city of Ajman is the coastal capital of the tiny emirate of the same name. As the Emirate’s main hub, more than 90% of the population calls the city home.
The Nicklaus Design course sits at the heart of the Al Zorah community, a new development to the north of the city that will eventually include four marinas, two beachfront hotels and residential villas.
Built with stones, mud and local timber, Masfout Castle consists of two rooms and a gate. The tower-shaped castle was restored in the late 1940s at the behest of the late Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi.


Travel as a Handicapping Factor in the Tourney
T.O. Whenham of Doc's Sports Predictions
Home court advantage is probably more significant in college basketball than it is in any other sport. Teams are aided significantly by the familiarity of their own gym, the avoidance of travel and the boisterous support of rowdy fans. Good teams are almost unbeatable at home, and questionable teams are much more competitive when they are eating home cooking. Home court advantage often makes handicapping during the regular season relatively simple.
Handicapping the tournament is tough, and one reason is that home court advantage isn't a factor. Every game is played on a neutral court, so no team has an undue advantage. That's the theory, anyway. In practice, there are several situations in which a team is playing close enough to home that they might as well be playing in their own gym. On the other hand, some teams have to travel so far that they could suffer. Here's a look at teams in the first and second round for which the location of their games has to be a significant handicapping factor:
Teams with short trips
North Carolina - The Tar Heels have to travel just 75 miles from Chapel Hill to their first and second round match-ups in Winston-Salem. Though that town is the home of Wake Forest and may not be enthusiastically behind the Heels, the faithful in baby blue will absolutely swarm the city and fill the building. They play Eastern Kentucky in the first round and either Marquette or Michigan State in the second round, so their opponents won't have nearly as much support as North Carolina. The Tar Heels likely don't need the aid of this advantage, but it obviously won't hurt.
Louisville - The Cardinals also have to travel just 75 miles down the road. They will also be playing in the arena that was the home of coach Pitino for the eight years he was at Kentucky. To compound the advantage, the Cards play Stanford in the first round. Not only does Stanford not really belong, but they have to travel clear across the country. In the second round they play Texas A&M. The Aggies are already complaining about the scheduling, so Louisville has a psychological edge.
Wisconsin - The Badgers will be on the bus for less than two hours before they arrive in Chicago for their first two games. That's close enough that they will be able to sleep in their own beds between games. None of the teams that they could face in those games are from anywhere even remotely close to Chicago, so Wisconsin has an edge.
UCLA - It's lucky that the Bruins only have to travel 375 miles to the state capital of Sacramento, because the team needs all the help it can get. After all, they are only unquestionably one of the top five teams in the tournament, and they stand a very solid chance of winning it all.
Teams with a long trip ahead
Winthrop - The Eagles are a popular Cinderella pick, but they won't be able to win if the can't handle a long trip They have to travel 2,600 miles from their home outside of Charlotte, North Carolina to Spokane, Washington. The furthest west the team has been this year is Wisconsin, so this could be an adjustment. The one thing the team has going for them is that nowhere is close to Spokane, so Notre Dame and Miami (Ohio) will be dealing with some jetlag as well.
George Washington - You can't get two cities that are much further apart in the U.S. than Washington D.C. and Sacramento. There is 2,700 miles of American goodness between the two cities. The flight won't be unfamiliar for the Colonials, though - they traveled to Anaheim in December to play USC. They didn't win or cover that game, so maybe California is cursed for them
Vanderbilt - George Washington's opponent will have to travel almost as far for the game - it's 2,300 miles from Nashville to Sacramento. The ridiculous travel for both teams means that neither team will have a significant edge on that front, and neither is likely to have a large fan contingent. Though Vanderbilt didn't go further west than Houston this year, they are familiar with crazy travel - they traveled almost 1,800 miles to play in Puerto Rico.
Oral Roberts - Yet another team that is nowhere close to Sacramento. The Golden Eagles will travel more than 1,700 miles to play No. 3 seed Washington State. Oral Roberts was looked at as a possibility to become the first to upset a top seed in the first round last year when they played Memphis, and they impressed everyone by beating Kansas this year, but this travel could be a big challenge. The Golden Eagles have racked up some serious frequent flier miles so far this year, with games against Loyola Marymount and Brigham Young falling far away from Oklahoma.

New Study on Tree Canopy Released
August 30, 2016
Patrice Gillespie Smith
NEAT Streets Miami, Parks Recreation and Open Spaces
Trees — they are everywhere, right? Well, guess again. According to the recently released Miami-Dade Urban Tree Canopy Study, in Miami-Dade County we only have 20 percent tree canopy—which means only 1/5 of our land is covered in nice cool shade. Yet, who needs shade more than Miami? With our extreme weather, heat, and humidity, trees provide a welcome respite. By cleaning our air, reducing our storm water runoff, and decreasing our energy consumption, they also take a serious bite out of climate change.
Conducted by University of Florida and Florida International University researchers, the Urban Tree Canopy Assessment not only captures Miami-Dade’s tree canopy data, it also shows which communities have the most opportunity to plant more trees and which are running out of room to plant trees. Thus, we have the beginnings of a blueprint to help show us which communities need the most trees and which have the most opportunities to plant trees. Whether you are Medley with a 5.5 percent tree canopy or Coral Gables with 46.7 percent tree canopy, you can target future plantings in those areas that most need them.
Think about being outside on an August afternoon like today. Where do you gravitate? Under a tree. The study also shows the impact of trees on our surface temperatures. Indeed, the more trees you have in a community, the cooler it’s going to be. Currently, those communities lacking adequate tree canopy tend to be the lower income, minority communities – which means they are not experiencing all of the great benefits of trees.
Neat Streets Miami Chairman, Miami-Dade Commissioner Dennis C. Moss, is working to change this reality by securing funds for the Miami-Dade Street Tree Matching Grant that enables communities to plant more street trees with grant funds. Furthermore, the County and Knight Foundation recently convened a group of community leaders who are developing a Strategic Plan to elevate the Million Trees Miami initiative. Launched by Neat Streets Miami in 2011, the Million Trees Miami campaign is focused on planting one million trees and achieving a 30 percent tree canopy in the county by 2020.
Now that we have completed the Urban Tree Canopy Assessment, we have the foundation from which to make our future tree planting decisions. Check out the study, take a look at our maps, and see where your community needs the most trees and where you can plant more. Finally, please visit milliontrees.miamidade.gov to see how you can help get more trees in the ground.

About the model score: For each parameter, the number of cells representing presence within the study area are summed and then multiplied by the weight applied before running the model. This value is then divided by the total number of cells in the study area. All individual parameter scores are then summed to produce the total study area score. The score does not represent a standard metric, but is valuable when comparing between model results for different study areas or weighting schemes.
This project is a joint effort of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Azavea, with funding from the Lyndhurst Foundation.
The Center for Academic and Innovative Technologies at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (CAIT) (UTC), was funded to develop a geospatial data library and planning applications to support long term regional planning efforts. Original project was named the "Regional Resource Inventory". This decision support system and current demo application are being developed in collaboration with a long term regional planning effort for the Greater Chattanooga area (http://thrive2055.com).
This is a demo application. In the coming months, we hope to build out the application to include additional models, contextual data layers, and reporting functionality.
UTC will continue to serve as a regional clearinghouse for geospatial data, modeled scenarios, and decision support tools after the 3 year regional planning effort is completed.

You must be getting really excited to go to the Phillippines. I can't wait to hear from you. The time seemed to go by really fast for me, I don't know about you, though. I hope you enjoyed your time in the MTC, it was fun to hear about all of the GAs that you got to hear from. The Apostles don't come out to the Stakes very much any more, so I am glad to know that they are still visiting the MTC frequently.
I looked up the weather in Cebu City and it is 88 degrees with thunderstorms. I'm sure you will be glad to have the warmer weather, although you will need an umbrella and some boots, probably.
I put $100 more in your account so now you have 147 and Cherie just called me to go in to work so i have to go, will talk to you later.


My most recent concert dates this year were the San Diego Symphony Summer Pops series with Dave Koz in late July and at the Hollywood Bowl with Jeffrey Osborne in August.
The San Diego Summer Pops venue is great — they are held in a park by a marina, with the orchestra stage less than fifty feet from the water's edge. It is a very relaxing site for a concert, and the symphony brought a whole new dimension to Dave's songs from At The Movies.
...And the Hollywood Bowl is always home to excellent summer concerts, and complemented Jeffrey's high-energy style very well.
I have taken some time off to work on my long-planned CD — the first pieces are available here — but check this space for more 2012 and 2013 concert news.


I am passionate about people developing more of a global and connected mindset and easily being able to connect with people from other backgrounds and experience different cultures easily.

There are too many silos separated throughout the city, but, I have a feeling that many people love to immerse more in other communities throughout the year more than an occasional popular festival, but, as a regular way of life. I feel they are able to do that more freely in Europe but, not so much in the USA, especially in the Midwest where communities are more geographically separated. I also know that when I organized events, it was hard for me get the word out to different communities to people from different backgrounds outside of my immediate friend circle. So, this app is important for both the individual and event organizers to be able to connect with different audiences and cultures and feel a sense of community and belonging.
First it’s very good to be able to one better understand one another in a big city and increasingly global world. It’s important in order to communicate and work together. It also opens up a wider world for both socializing and exploration as well as introduction to new lifestyles or aspects that one could incorporate to their lives. Also it has business implications to be able to understand more cultures means an increased ability to do business with a wider market. Plus, research that I and others have done has shown the direct connection between exposure to foreign cultures and positive impact on levels of creativity. So, there is an inherent benefit to this cultural discover as well.
I am a product of being brought up and living in different cultures. I was born in the UK and raised in the USA. My parents are from South India.. so, I was brought up with a very Indian upbringing in the USA. Growing up I had to constantly frame shift or shift my mind to operate in an American setting in school situations and Indian framework at home and social settings. This was challenging and also was a good skill that I developed. It was very helpful for me when I met people from other countries, the connection just seemed easier.. and it was exciting for me to meet people from all over. I did study abroad in the UK and travelled with my family to many different countries around the world in Europe and Caribbean and South America and of course to India many times. I also have sought out opportunities to travel for work and often created projects to do so, working on management projects in Germany, India, and UK as well as import export consultant for a tungsten carbide company based in Chicago took me to travels to India and Brazil. I am hoping my work will continue to allow me to and require me to travel abroad. Wherever I am, I also like to travel to different cultures within the cities.. such as in Chicago, London, Mumbai.. I love to experience Italy, Greece, Middle East within these countries with the communities that have settled there. This blended culture experience is the one that I have grown up with and enjoy most. This is what I am hoping to achieve by this web app project/tool.

Months of heavy rain have battered China with record floods. And there are growing fears that the Three Gorges Dam may break. It’s the world’s largest hydroelectric project, and it’s been marred by controversy for decades.
A breach of the Three Gorges Dam would wipe out the homes of millions of Chinese. And it would likely destroy many of China’s pharmaceutical factories—which produce the majority of the drug precursors that Americans rely on.
But the problem with Asia’s waters goes far beyond the Three Gorges Dam. To really understand what’s going on, we follow the water to its source.
All the nine great rivers of Asia descend from the Tibetan plateau. After the Chinese Communist Party occupied Tibet, it has essentially monopolized these waters, according to longtime China and Tibet watcher Maura Moynihan. As she argues, whoever controls the water, controls the future.

FORESTRY IDEAS, 2012, vol. 18, No 1 (43) : 47–50
COMPOSITIONAL ASPECTS OF TREES AND BUSH VEGETATION IN “ALBENA” RESORT
Veselin Rangelov, Vladimir Shtilianov, Emil Galev and Plamen Aleksandrov
Faculty of Ecology and Landscape Architecture, University of Forestry, 10 Kliment Ohridski Blvd., 1756 Sofia
The trees and bush vegetation in “Albena” resort can be viewed in two main groups, namely:
- Main plant capacities: local plant volumes; scaffolds-forming plant volumes;
- Secondary plant capacities: landscaping of the surrounding area of the buildings according to individual projects; plant collections and exhibitions.
This analysis defines relationships and outlines guidance for the future development of the complex. The work is clarifying the structural connections between different types of plantation, the particular public parts of the complex and their functional capacity.
Key words: compositional aspects, plant capacities, vegetation, analysis, structural connections.
The resort of Albena is situated 32 km north of Varna and just 12 km south-west of Balchik. On a long sand stretch in the open northern part of Varna Bay. The resort’s erection was started in 1968, which makes it one of the most modern holiday cities along the Bulgarian coast. The complex lies beneath a relatively high hill and is given particular charm by the nearby forest of Baltata. A part of that forest is declared a protected area.
The latter is also called Batova Gora (Batova Forest) after the Batova river, in the valley of which it grows. The resort’s architecture resembles one of Walter Gropius’ urban models as most of the hotels have a terraced structure aimed at providing as much sun as possible in summer days. To the north the coast is steep, featuring yellow sandstone and limestone typical of the area. It is in fact this stone slope that was the main source of construction material for the resort.
Materials and Methods
Vegetation is a dynamic factor, which varies with mainstream of the time because of its biogenic nature and as a result of human activity. It is susceptible to sudden changes caused by natural or anthropogenic influences. The recreational activities can also lead to undesirable changes in trees and bush vegetation. This warrants a precise analysis of these characteristics that determine the recreational value of park areas and can be affected when these areas are used for recreational purposes.
Literature survey shows that the question of defining the indicators for recreational evaluation of parks is not fully resolved. In most cases they are not related to their trees&bush vegetation. Therefore a lot of conclusions from most general matter were made. For example:
Tandy (1979) recommended different aged and mixed plant volumes as more attractive for tourists. Preference to mixed plant volumes gives Brahe (1987) too. He uses a quantitative measure for recreational assessment of the ornamental trees and bush vegetation – number of trees per unit area.
Deja (1981) does take into account the type and age of decorative plant volumes assessing the suitability of areas for recreation. The classification of different vegetation types is made according to species composition and soil moisture. Priority is given to the evaluation of mixed groups and massifs aged over 60 years and in certain habitats to the highest level of fitness have fallen ornamental trees&bush vegetation aged over 40 years.
Brush (1984) highlights the importance of high grasses and shrub plants. He used the plants as a horizontal limiting the visual intrusion in the areas. It takes two criteria regarding age structure and species diversity of vegetation. Depending on the visual effects in some cases he recommended as more suitable different aged and mixed plant volumes. In other cases – different aged and pure plant volumes.
According to Cooper and Murray (1992) a constructive method for visual evaluation of sites should include a description, analysis and classification of areas to create a structure within which to cover all landscape components. The biggest problem in the development of quantitative methods to evaluate the visual impact by Buhyoff and Riesenmann (1979) is to determine the coefficient of importance of individual landscape components in the overall evaluation.
Unwin (1975) describes three stages in the evaluation of landscape. This are “measurement” of the landscape, formulation of landscape values through the survey of people’s preferences, and finally an evaluation of the visual qualities of the landscape. Most sophisticated models in this regard, he says, are psychophysical which use first psychological impact, and after that objective quantitative and qualitative parameters of the landscape. The creation of such a model requires three sets of data: photos, survey data on people’s preferences to landscape, and landscape parameters.
Results and Discussion
This analysis is based on the vegetation monitoring in the period of 2007–2008 at the “Albena” resort. It is made with the aim of working up a plan for the future planning and development of the trees and bush arrays. The trees and bush vegetation in the “Albena” resort can be viewed in two main groups, namely:
- Basic plant volumes: Local plant volumes; Scaffolds-forming plant volumes.
- Secondary plant volumes: Landscaping of the surrounding area of the buildings under individual projects;Plants for collections and exhibitions.
The natural vegetation in the complex forms the local plant volumes. First of all, this is the forest reserve “Baltata”. It is located near the village of Obrochishte and being the southern boundary of the resort. “Baltata” was nominated as a reserve on 20.04.1978 and later on 15.10.1999 it was redeterminated as a sustainable forest reserve. It is part of a dense forest in the north of Bulgaria, situated in the mouth of the Batova river. The arrays inside the complex, mostly on the slope, are also part of the local plant volumes. They are also of a natural origin and their structure is based mostly onto native species.
Scaffolds-forming plant volumes are arrays with an artificial origin of the tree species. They are constructed with typical area-resistant species. The street landscaping, which is a binding link between the different arrays in the complex, can also be attributed to the scaffolds-forming plant volumes.
Landscaping of the surrounding area of the buildings under individual projects holds a substantial part of the complex green areas. Together with the local plant species there are some ornamental plants as plant accents and compositional forms, which are not typical for the Black Sea region.
The latter group – plants for collections and exhibitions – was presented only by the large rosarium, situated close to the promenade at the time of the study.

The Rutherford House kicked off a new program this month, which allows attendees to experience a small taste of another culture! The focus for this months class was on Central America. Central America consists of seven countries so the program started out with some information about the different counties and interesting cultural facts. Next, the members had the opportunity to taste test a popular fruit from this region, Dragon Fruit. While each person was given a portion of dragon fruit to try, the members learned about some of the health benefits of this wonder fruit. The program then wrapped up with Jeri Blanch, Rutherford House Board Member, sharing objects that she acquired from countries in Central America to further help explain the culture and how they live there.
The new program will continue once a month with a new country featured each time. May's Taste of Culture will focus on Germany, we hope to see you there!


Currently, only three states, Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware, have legal online poker sites. In the past, however, West Virginia had its own regulated site. That said, West Virginia has a population of 1.8 million, making it a small market. This could keep CT’s poker launch on the backburner for a while. But in the future, the market may become more competitive.
New Jersey and Nevada are already signed into a multi-state online poker agreement (MSIGA) and will likely continue to expand their offerings to other states. Connecticut is a new addition to the list of states that regulate online poker. Its Gaming Act, HB 6451, was signed into law by Governor Ned Lamont on May 27, 2021. It’s not clear what the law will actually say about shared liquidity, but Connecticut lawmakers are open to the possibilities. In fact, if two sites were launched simultaneously, players could find themselves playing on the same table in separate windows.
Connecticut’s small population could put its launch of online poker on the backburner, but in the future, the state could enter into shared liquidity agreements with other states. This shared liquidity could increase interest in the market and could make CT a viable option for operators.
As with many states, Connecticut has flirted with the issue of online gambling for a while. The state has been waiting for the final ruling of the Wire Act. If the Wire Act is changed, the state may be able to enter into an online poker agreement with other states. This will create a combined player pool, and the state could offer regulated poker to its residents. But, the legality of the state’s online poker market may be put on hold for a year or so, depending on the outcome of the Wire Act.
The next few months will be important for Connecticut’s online poker. The DOJ is currently reviewing the OLC’s opinion from last year. It’s likely that the DOJ will take a different approach to the issue than the White House did. In fact, newly elected president Joe Biden could have a different view on the issue. In December of 2019, Biden said he would reverse the White House’s position and would not interfere with states’ efforts to expand online gambling.
If the DOJ continues to enforce the OLC’s opinion, growth in the online poker industry across the United States will be limited. If the new administration takes a different approach, CT could enter into a multi-state agreement with other states. The Connecticut legislature’s willingness to look at shared liquidity could lead to a competitive market in the future.
Several US states allow online poker, and the legality of the industry has been a subject of much debate. However, it’s a fact that the legality of the industry is much more black and white when it comes to live casinos. Unlike online poker, casinos are regulated by the state. However, live casinos are more accessible than online casinos.
