Separatists fail to stop re-opening of Kashmir bus service

April 7, 2005

A bus service successfully crossed the disputed region of Kashmir today despite coming under attack early on in its journey. It is believed Islamic separatists launched grenades at the Indian run bus minutes after it left a station in Srinagar, although the coach continued on to Muzaffarabad after it survived without damage. Whilst its passengers escaped unhurt, the attack is understood to have injured four other people, including a policeman. Indian authorities also located and defused at least one explosive device placed along the bus route.

The service, the first of its kind in almost 60 years, transported Pakistani and Indian Kashmiris across the conflict torn region, passing the cease fire line between India and Pakistan, dubbed the ‘Line of Control’. The bus trips, which run to and from Srinagar and Muzaffarabad, are seen as a major step forward in the growing peaceful relations between India and Pakistan. The two nuclear powers both seek to control the Kashmir region, which has been a flashpoint for conflict for over 50 years. [1]

“A door has opened,” said Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today as the bus set off from Srinagar. “Pakistan and especially President General Pervez Musharraf have helped us open this door and without their support, the door would not have opened. This is the beginning of a new phase. Violence is not going to solve any problems.”

Anti-Indian separatist Kashmiri militants have branded the return of bus service as a “betrayal of peace”, according to reports.

Earlier this week, guerrillas attacked a Government safe house where the bus’ passengers were said to be staying.

The following ideas and guidelines can help you find the best security doors in Philadelphia, PA.

Florida Governor Jeb Bush gives speech on Hurricane Wilma

Hurricane Wilma InformationCurrent ArticleCategory 5Winds:160Movement:WNW 7mphPosition:17.9N, 83.9W270 miles SE of CozumelPressure:892 MBLive Stream (WFOR)
Sunday, October 23, 2005

At 1 p.m. EDT, Florida governor Jeb Bush, as well as others, held a press conference relating to the preparedness of the upcoming Hurricane Wilma. “There is no cause for a New Orleans-like concern,” says Governor Bush. He also says that this category 2 hurricane will affect southern Florida, including Lake Okeechobee. Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, and New York are helping Florida prepare. Mandatory and voluntary evacuations, he says, are currently underway.

For those who are unable to evacuate, shelters are to open up. There are 23 shelters opened at the moment, and more shelters, including shelters for the elderly, will open. The pets of Floridians also will be able to stay at a pet shelter. Over 80,000 MREs, as well as 200 truckloads of ice, are available for those who must take up shelter. This does not include the aid that will come from FEMA, which is expected to double the amount made available by Florida.

As of 10 a.m., over 200 million gallons of fuel, particularly gasoline and diesel, were at Florida ports. These ports are either to be closed, or currently closed at the moment. In addition, tolls for Florida turnpikes were suspended, and traffic is current flowing smoothly. However, as it was said by Director of Florida Emergency Management Craig Fullgate, “You need to pay attention to your local officials.”

Signs That An Hvac Repair In Edmond Ok Is Needed

byAlma Abell

As a responsible homeowner, taking care of the house is of primary importance. That includes changing the filters on the heating and cooling system regularly and being aware of signs that something is not working as it should. To help the homeowner keep on top of things, here are some signs that indicate the time is fast approaching for some type of HVAC Repair in Edmond OK.

Something is Up with the Utility Bills

The weather outside is just like it always is this time of year. So why are the utility bills more than usual? A quick check of the billing detail shows that the rate is still the same, but the usage has increased noticeably over the same period last year. That means the system is consuming more energy in order to keep the interior temperature at a comfortable level.

Calling for an HVAC Repair in Edmond OK will likely lead to finding that one or more parts are starting to wear down a bit. That is causing the system to work harder in order to keep the temperature to an acceptable level. Once those worn parts are replaced, the system will not have to work as hard, and the energy consumption will go back to the usual range.

The Bedroom is Not As Comfortable

While the main part of the house is comfortable in terms of the temperature, the master bedroom is another story. There is a noticeable difference that cannot be explained. All the homeowner knows is that the bedroom used to be the same temperature as the rest of the house. Before deciding that there is something seriously wrong, it pays to have a professional take a look. The origin of the issue could be something that the technician can correct in a matter of minutes.

For homeowners who notice any difference in the performance of their heating and cooling systems, calling a repair service like Benchmark Mechanical Services is the right move. Many problems can be identified and resolved in one service call. Taking care of the system will mean that even during the coldest winter night or the hottest summer day, the climate indoors will be just what the homeowner wants.

Wikinews interviews World Wide Web co-inventor Robert Cailliau

Thursday, August 16, 2007

The name Robert Cailliau may not ring a bell to the general public, but his invention is the reason why you are reading this: Dr. Cailliau together with his colleague Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, making the internet accessible so it could grow from an academic tool to a mass communication medium. Last January Dr. Cailliau retired from CERN, the European particle physics lab where the WWW emerged.

Wikinews offered the engineer a virtual beer from his native country Belgium, and conducted an e-mail interview with him (which started about three weeks ago) about the history and the future of the web and his life and work.

Wikinews: At the start of this interview, we would like to offer you a fresh pint on a terrace, but since this is an e-mail interview, we will limit ourselves to a virtual beer, which you can enjoy here.

Robert Cailliau: Yes, I myself once (at the 2nd international WWW Conference, Chicago) said that there is no such thing as a virtual beer: people will still want to sit together. Anyway, here we go.

Considerations For Above Ground Swimming Pools Ct

byadmin

Swimming pools are a source of a lot of fun for you and your family members especially during the sweltering summer months. If you are a homeowner and have a large backyard, getting an above ground pool could be a great addition to your home as it takes little time to set up. However, although this is a convenient option when it comes to pools, you still need to ensure that the water as well as the structure of the pool as some regular maintenance. This will ensure that the pool is not only in place during the summer but also last for a significant number of years. Here are some considerations for an above ground swimming pools CT.

1. Caring for the pump and the filter. These are some of the most important component of swimming pools. The filter works to ensure that all debris is removed from the pools while the pump works to push water through the said filter. The pump is also essential in ensuring the water in swimming pools does not remain stagnant. Since they work in tandem, it is essential to ensure they are both in good condition.2. Get rid of dirt and algae. A common concern that owners of Swimming Pools CT have is the pool turning green. This typically occurs when algae has grown in the pool due to lack of proper circulation of the water. Ensuring that your pool is free of algae is of utmost importance. Not only does it look terrible, it could also pose a risk to the people that will be swimming in that pool. Presence of algae increases the chances of pools being infested with bacteria as they feed on the waste that the algae produce. To keep algae out of your pool, the walls and floors of Swimming Pools should be brushed regularly. In addition to this, the pool should be vacuumed at least once a week.3. Water sanitization. This is also important as it ensures that bacteria and other microorganisms are kept away frompools. Most of the popular sanitizers that you will come across will comprise of chlorine as well as bromine. However, you could also use sanitizers made up of chlorine alone. These pool sanitizers come in different forms such as tablets, sticks and more.

4. Monitor the chemistry of the pool. There are different chemical levels that should be checked on a regular basis. This will ensure that the chemistry of the swimming pool is optimum. Some of the different factors that should be tested include the pH levels of the swimming pool, the sanitizer levels of the pool, the stabilizer levels and more. It is essential that these levels are balanced as if they are too high or too low; the pool could start clouding or could turn its color.
