Second part of the story of Philadelphia Naval Shipyard

David’s father was working at Princeton as an engineer and wrote a diary of all the truths what happened there.

After his death, David told me about those happenings by inviting me at his home at lunch time on Saturday. He knew that I always researched for the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard reality.

When David’s father reached at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, he found everything got changed. The group which came for the project was instructed to make a system whose work was to demagnetize ships to make the, invisible for radar.

There were some things written in that diary which David ignored and then proceeded. His father started to work on a experiment and reached the middle of it on a moored ship. Some junior officers were selected out to take care of the experiment and they were only there on the ship.

When the tests for equipments were ongoing, there happened something bad. The structure of the area was filled with strong magnetic fields and open electronic circuits.

One of the junior officers fell on the floor while the power got shut down after he got suddenly touched to an open circuit and got electrocuted. As he was not burned and was alive, with heart beating so he took by the technicians to the Naval Shipyard Hospital.

He got well and came back to the place after passing some hours at the hospital. He was perfectly alright. Still, to make sure, he was been seen by David’s father and another member and they went to him to ask about his health.

They noticed that even they didn’t reach near him, suddenly he entered a hatchway and at a particular corner he got vanished. Because of the project, it was not a big thing that someone got invisible as it was very normal inside the ship.

When reasonable hours passed and there was no information of the young officer then a team spread around in the ship and other ships as well and searched for him for a long time but all in vain. Still, they didn’t end up. A search was conducted which was more deep than the previous one on the next day but still there was nothing found about the young officer.

The higher in charges questioned from David’s father and the other member about the young officer as they saw him going into the hatchway. The higher authorities couldn’t blame them for anything as they seemed to know about all the details of that incident.

There would be a big trouble for the Navy if he would have been vanished by his wish, as it would become a risk for them to have their projects and details of internal information leaked out. They officially announced that the young officer would have fallen off the board because he would have a belated reaction to the electrocution.

But the reality was that the superstructure of the ship melted in the young officer or some ethereal realm floated him in. after this incident, a number of same incident with different people was seen as a result of the tests taken for testing the technologies of the Philadelphia experiment.

After telling me all this from the diary, David stopped and started staring with questioning eyes at me. He was really blank like he didn’t know what to say now. In that situation I couldn’t even move my lips, was out of words.

He told me that he read everything for the very first and very last time to share that all with me. I gave him back the photo album. He put that on the diary and put them in the box and locked it. When I was returning, I was barely be able to get the answer to a single question out of the million questions in my brain.

Feeling sad to tell that David was no more a few years ago. His death was very unexpected as he died due to an automobile accident and couldn’t survive. So, he couldn’t do any preparations for his will.

After his death, I came to meet some of his relatives and asked them if they know about a box or an album and a diary which belonged to David but sadly they even got surprised and told me that there wasn’t anything like that in David’s belongings. As he died so the agreement for keeoing the information ended up.

A year passed after David left these shocks to my brain, I found some people and they were all having the same story as David’s.

Their names were Al Bielek, Preston Nichols and Duncan Cameron. They told me that they were all a part of the projects which were done at Montauk Force Station. The technologies which were used in all these projects were developed from the Philadelphia experiment. These technologies included: invisibility, time travel, mind control, remote viewing and psychic war fare.

I knew some people who needed to know about their claims and also wanted to record a film of their testimony so I had a lot of conversation with Bielek, Nichols and Cameron on call and at last they agreed to discuss whatever they knew with those people.

When they all gathered and had meeting, there was a lot of stunning information of about 12 hours with a four hours solid information conclusion.

A person who came with me was a technical writer and was writing for the government projects from a long time so had experience. I asked him to use his experience for giving an opinion. He contacted me after a long time, saying he couldn’t even sleep thinking of all that.

At last government didn’t let anyone to draw a clear picture of what happened through the Philadelphia experiment and the Montauk project. Anyone who do not know anything about this, will surely get astonished for knowing about the world of secret government projects and technologies. Still, despite of not letting anyone conclude anything, government can’t prove it all false.

The Closing and Reuse of the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard

First part of the story of Philadelphia Naval Shipyard

The story is about when a huge radar dish was being noticed by me which is used to identify the base, when that was my first time at historic Montauk Lighthouse.

My father who was a retired Air Force Officer, told me this story. Now I am going to narrate the story to you guys, so that you can also have an insight about project Montauk.

He told me about the radar that it’s part of some machine whose work was to detect the aircrafts from the enemies, when I asked him about that at the age of 8. Seeing the present I can surely say about his unawareness of that machine’s future bad reputation.

Long island technical community were offering jobs in the cold war days but if you had the qualification so that’s why a number of my friends were working there.

Having your parent or some relative in that field is also qualification to some extent, for example, David. His father served the government or government contractors till the end of his life since the Second World War. That gave David the advantage to enter in that company as an engineer as his father worked there for all of his life.

I thought myself to be very near to the details of the Philadelphia experiment until 1987 as I worked and researched on that with the help of second and third hand witnesses.

David asked me to come to the lunch to give the coworkers knowledge about UFOs. The company used to arrange midday events once in a month to lessen the caring employees stress as they were working in really stressful environment.

When we were done with the discussion of UFO sightings and reports, I asked for everyone’s queries and comments. They were a lot. Most of the people had seen the UFO themselves. I asked for the interest in Philadelphia experiment from all of them as there raised a question on that, as it was going to take 20 – 30 minutes. Everyone agreed.

I had a sketch about the World War II Navy project, a sort of thumbnail sketch and took help from that to explain those people about the change of a simple degauss battleships program into a massive project of making the ships invisible.

There was an evidence for them to believe that truth as the scientists and engineers made a ship invisible while they were all working for Princeton and the project was supervised and headed by Einstein. During these experiments they got lead to the open space time portal.

Philadelphia Naval shipyard along the east cost of United States was the chosen spot for these experiments. A crew was placed at a battleship escort vessel. This test crew watched out for the sea trials of that new technology during the trial and error process.

It was such a technology which took lives of many people and never worked as it had to. It raised a lot of questions rather than answers to them.

David was really great full to me when he called me at night for making the event interesting and knowledgeable from my speech. I was glad to know from him that everyone got inclined to that and chose that for discussion for the rest of the day.

He also told me that those who didn’t attend that event were regretting. With agreeing that I did my best to convey them all what I knew about the UFO sightings, I thanked him as well. After all that conversation between us, he asked me to come alone to his home on Saturday as he had to discuss something with me regarding my investigations and research. I accepted his invitation.

It was Saturday and I was at his door. The time was afternoon 2. When I came in with his invitation he seemed all tired. He told me to wait in the living room while he came after some time from the basement. He rushed as he had to bring something. A lockbox was with him on his return. It had a photo album which he gave me.

Telling you about David’s father, he was a mastermind engineer. His mind was designed for designing much complicated machines and electronic devices.

Comparing him with most of the professionals, he was even better than them as he had two hobbies: Radio and electronics. For my Philadelphia experiment research, both of his talents were really helpful.

There was a diary in David’s hand. He told me to carefully listen to that what he will read. In early 1940s his father used to write that. Then he told me that he won’t tell me everything as there was something very personal.

So to do this, some pages were being chosen by him and others got ignored. I greatly thanked him for taking me that worthy while understanding him as well.

There were a lot of pages from which he read pages which had a total around 10. There were no mentioning of any kind of names and specifications. Still there was written about the World War Project II. It was written that he was at Princeton working there on a special project during that war.

Albert Einstein personally recommended some of the engineers who were meant to work for that project, David’s father was one of them. He got connected to the Navy. This project was about a system of magnetic detection devices which was being prepared and developed to save the harbors from the ships and submarines which used to infiltrate them.

A multi-faceted system contained it as a part. This multi-faceted system included radar, hydrophones, magnetic detection devices and other machines. This was the detail told to him by them.

The thrill and adventure is still not ended here. You can find many interesting fact about the above mentioned story by reading the next part of article. So, read the next part and enjoy the amazing story.

Health Information For Traveler [Part 2]

The most common diseases in travelers are diarrhea, malaria, diseases through accidents, wound infections and diseases which transmit via sex.

Malaria is the disease which mostly attacks travelers in such an area which is malaria-infested. When a person has an accident by automobile or by swimming, he gets wounds, if they don’t get proper care, catch diseases.

Diarrhea is such a disease which attacks a person when he uses unhygienic, contaminated food and impure water for drinking purpose. Everyone needs to be careful for drinking or eating, in case he is travelling through malaria infested areas in unhygienic conditions.

You must have to take keen precautions to save yourself. These precautions are not very different or out of the way. You just need to do the same care which you do at your home. If you get any wound while swimming or in any other activity then you need to clean it using some kind of antiseptic, as when the wound is not free of septic it will actively catches infections.

Malaria is a disease, whose basic reason is mosquitoes. So to protect yourself from malaria, you first need to save yourself from having interaction with mosquitoes. You need to have some simple and quick precautions.

1.     TRAVELLER'S DIARRHEA

Most of the diseases relating to intestines are caused by intake through mouth and hands. little care to save yourself from all these illnesses is needed. Some diseases like hepatitis A, typhoid fever, polio and cholera exist in countries where there is no hygiene. But still everyone can save his self.

When you travel through some place you will get a light or little dangerous type of traveler’s diarrhea. Although, traveler’s diarrhea doesn’t get stick to you for a long time, still it is sort of irritating. In addition, it is a big risk for your health and ruins your travel.

For the treatment of this disease, the first thing is to stop dehydration. The treatment for protecting yourself from the upcoming symptoms is really necessary so that the number of bowel movements can be reduced and so the other symptoms like fever, vomiting and stomach cramps won’t irritate you. In some cases, there comes a serious stage of diarrhea, which it needs a treatment with antibiotics, or the hospitalization is needed or replacement of fluid becomes compulsory and can’t be ignored.

The main reasons for getting caught in this disease are:

-Raw vegetables and fruits, which you didn’t peel off by yourself and ate


-use of the dairy products which are uncooked or unpasteurized


-use of improperly cooked sea food and meat causes Hepatitis A


-use of “local meals” which are not usually fresh and smell stale


-use of ice cream which is being purchased from the street merchants instead the industrial ice which come from deep-freeze is comparatively hygienic

You just need to take some primary measures to have your trip a successful one. You can’t save yourself from traveler’s diarrhea totally, as it’s impossible because the precautions for saving yourself from traveler’s diarrhea are not possible to be followed all the time.

But if you want to reduce the danger for getting caught by this disease, you must need to follow these measures for not contacting diarrhea. Wash your hands properly before taking anything and try not to eat to have a nice trip.

It is considerably important to sterilize water before drinking. It is not possible to fully disinfect water but a little sterilization can reduce the risk for the contamination to a great extant and safeguards your health while travelling.

The serving of meals must be at the time when they are hot. Another thing to consider is the place where you are going to eat. If you are eating from a stall then you will be inviting a greater risk. But if you are eating from a restaurant it would be comparatively hygienic. But avoid it even if the place is having a great number of insects.

You need not to use tap water and ice-cubes. Try to use bottled water and soft drinks as they are safe. Don’t use those bottle caps which are used before.


-It is very effective to use boiled water.

-Chemically disinfect the water by chlorine drops (e.g. Hadex, Drinkwell chloor; available in sport shops specialized in outdoor activities) or chlorine tablets (Certisil Combina; chloramine tablets; available at the pharmacy). You need to first filter the water to get a better effect. Silver salts (Micropur, Certisil Argento) are not much good but they have an advantage that they keep the water disinfected for a long time.

The travelers who travel for adventure needs to buy a portable filter for their health to get not affected by the impurities and germs in water. It is not get appreciation to use the antibiotics before having any attack of any disease rather it would be hazardous to health. Don’t use any preventive medications.

Treatment of diarrhea

To prevent dehydration, liquid and salt must be used. Lemon tea, broth, soft drinks or fruit juice mixed with salt crackers (ORS-solution) are good.

Indication of Antibiotics:

Anti-diarrhea solution helps lowering the bowel movements. Imodium can only be given to adults or big children for treatment of watery diarrhea. The maximum 4 capsules with each after a loose movement is allowed.

1. If there is mucus, blood or pus exist in the stools.

2. In 24-48 hours, no improvement is seen or there is fever or bad intestinal cramps or the number of stools is more than 6 per 24 hours.

3. Antibiotics are strictly prohibited unless prescribed by the doctor. If you are travelling, quicker solution can be given immediately.

Surely you will be finding this article most helpful and informative. If you will be keeping yourself updated with these sort of medical related information, you will no doubt be able to keep yourself and your surroundings, health and prosperous. Enjoy your holidays and remain healthy and safe.

Health Information For Traveler [Part 1]

When you are on the traveling, the precautionary measures from some disease become necessary. It will help you and your family to stay healthy.

The information and precautionary measures of some diseases are mentioned in this article. This information will surely help you out in keeping yourself away from the unwanted diseases. Let’s have a review over them:

1.    SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES:

When someone is abroad on a holiday then the inclination towards sex is high. Travelers are at risk from the disease AIDS, which is mainly a problem these days. It transmits during the sexual contact and cause major threat to the lives of people involved.

The use of alcohol increases during the traveling and alcohol is the thing whose influence makes a person attracts towards unplanned or unsafe sex. The protections against sex are the same as at home. The use of condom is compulsory in this contact.

The use of lubricant is good but it should be water soluble, still it doesn’t provides full guarantee (e.g. KY gel). You must take vaccines against hepatitis B. If you feel a little that you are at risk then do not be late and visit some doctor even you don’t see any symptoms for that.

2.    MALARIA (swamp fever, malaria):

Malaria’s symptoms are more like simple influenza’s symptoms at its initial stage. But if you don’t care for the proper treatment of malaria in time, it will may become a cause for the death in some days.

Malaria is such a disease which is transferred to a human when he is get bitten by an Anopheles mosquito and gets a parasite in his body named as Plasmodium. Malaria has two types.

The one which is really harmful is falciparum malaria. It gets spread really quickly. What is an incubation period – it is the time period between getting bit by a mosquito and the appearance of the disease’s symptoms. This disease has 10 – 15 days incubation period.

Malaria occurs through Anopheles mosquitoes and these exist in the tropical and subtropical areas in a large number. Areas whose heights start from 1.500 – 2.500 m contain these creatures. These mosquitoes are very rare or even barely exist depending upon the temperature and climate of that area.

Where does malaria occur?

These mosquitoes exist in Asia in the suburbs of the big cities, for example, India, but their presence differs from season to season. As they have different seasons to appear.

In Africa there does exist a great risk for this disease but most big cities are free of this risk and its infection.
How can we prevent ourselves from malaria?

The time for Anopheles mosquito to bite is between dusk and dawn so the travelers need to be very careful at these times that they avoid its bite. This creature is very small and doesn’t makes any noise of its existence.

There are some repellents for mosquitoes in which DEET are not much examined. The products which ensure safety to a great extent are Autan-Active and Mosegor.

Try to cover your arms and legs fully with light-colored clothes mostly at nights and in the evenings. Moreover, apply DEET based repellent (20 – 50% for children and 20 – 30% preferably for pregnant woman) with regular intervals of 2 – 6 hours. Due to this regular application, it cannot properly protect you at night.


These are the measures which must be fully taken to reduce malaria’s risk up to 80 – 90% and you can maintain your travel health.

If you sleep in rooms then you will not get bitten through mosquitoes. Try to use mosquito nets on the sills. Turn on the electrically-warmed anti-mosquito plates and the air conditioners. The best thing is to use a mosquito net which contains permethrine or deltamethrine and it hangs over the bed and you sleep under it with tucking its edges under the mattress.

Taking pills to prevent yourself from malaria

There does not exist any drug whose intake can protect you from getting caught from malaria. So take some combination of precautionary measures to have a safe side. The drugs have changed with the passing years.

When taking drugs for protection against malaria, consider the advantages and disadvantages of the drugs while saving yourself from the infection of malaria.

The risk for getting infected by this disease depends on the following things: visited country, and on the region, the season, the duration of your stay and the type of the trip.

Consult the doctor when you are going to use any kind of drug, because just only the doctor is the person who can best prescribe any medicine for you. A big reason for the individuals belonging to a same group using medicines and ending up their lives like this is the use of improper medicines.

Sometimes it happens that while protecting yourself from malaria you take anti-malarial drugs but on the other hand you find troubles in return. These drugs are not always a reason to stop taking them as they are mild and not hard in nature.

Some people are allergic from some drugs because of their composition and some finds different intolerant symptoms when they take some particular medicine. Some people need to switch from one medication to another because of the intestinal problems.

At last, it’s seen that there doesn’t exist any drug which can be a 100% protection against malaria. Travelers must take a fever, which they get between the three months after they come back from tropics, an infection of malaria.

They must start its treatment as soon as possible when they even feel a little symptom for that rather than taking the previously prescribed medicine which is for the prevention of malaria.

The thing to care is the treatment of malaria in time so that it would be easy to treat the infection without having the danger of serious fever attacks. It’s very superstitious and false statement that “once malaria always malaria”.

I hope this information will proof to be the best in saving your lives from the deadly diseases.

PDQ Travelers' Malaria

Travel For Peace: An Interview With Pablo Chufeni Servas Traveler

Canada-US Servas Conference was held in Vancouver and it was the start of August. Servas is an organization whose motto is “Travel for peace”.

This organization’s hosts and travelers are in over 130 countries for promoting inter-cultural understanding and tolerance.

I attended that conference and met one of the volunteers of that organization, whose work for the organization is commendable. I got a lucky hour to spend with him and asked a set of questions.

1.    You have been tackling and controlling Servas with much creativity from a reasonable time which includes the language opportunity for the young people of Servas. Let us know about the language learning opportunity that has been initiated by you while working for Servas.

Servas South America arranged an essay contest in 2003, which had the topic “The role of Servas” in which I got participation and got the first position.

After that, being a contest winner, I was allowed to attend the Youth South American meeting which was held at Montevideo (Uruguay). Along with that I went to Santa Teresa (Uruguay) where work for 3 days activity was ongoing. I met Camile Costa there who belonged to Sao Paulo (Brazil) who took the classes to learn Spanish for Chile.

There my mind clicked at the point of giving Servas young people, Servas as a platform for learning languages by the idea of exchanging their languages.

This program is designed as having four modules, along with their classes. The class duration was one and a half hour weekly. The modules were as follows; A) Language - B) Arts - C) Social - D) Special Events. All the young people who took the classes of these programs are able to fully know about their host society.

2.    We heard of your first international youth meeting of Servas, which is going to be held in the southern hemisphere at an amazingly beautiful resort of Bariloche in Argentina in the third week of January in 2006. Let us know more about this.

This conference will start on 15th January and will be continued till 22nd January, 2006. PATAGONIA ’06 is the first international youth conference going to be held in Bariloche in Argentinean Patagonia. This place is simply beautiful which will add for the youth to attract and attend this conference. No one will stop from coming to this event.

Patagonia ’06 doesn’t restrict age. It is for all the people who want to know about the projects in Servas regarding the issues of youth and help in developing them, they are most welcome.

The cost of this conference is US $160 which includes meals 4 times a day, participation in all the activities and accommodation in bungalows or tents according to the availability (no transportation from BsAs included).

This conference is going to help us bring the position of youth up in Servas. There are a number of different topics which will be discussed in this meeting.

These includes the development of youth position, to access more and more young people, the discussion on the improvement of the ongoing projects and start for new projects, the betterment of the local ativities in the international group, the involvement of young people in these activities, the feasible programs that we can start to implement on, and all of the current issues relating to youth in Servas.

3.    As you are currently having your hands full, still you are thinking to serve Servas more in a way that will help the youth from all over the world. Let us know about your idea of giving the youth the opportunity of internship and job.

This is one of my near future projects. Right now my goal is to achieve the maximum at PATAGONIA ’06 and in the exchanges among international youth. Then I will definitely take the Servas network as a helpful platform for providing youth in abroad the opportunity to add experience to their lives and to use their skills in a better way.

4.    We also heard about the local “diversity meals” which you use to host. Tell us about them and the reason for arranging them.

This was the idea of Mary Jane which I heard at the Servas office situated in United States. She was in conversation with me and told me about this activity. in San Francisco, they use to arrange meals at the houses of different Servas members and then host them where a large number of people listen to them. So I liked this idea and did the same in youth branch of Servas in Argentina.

In our diversity meals, we create such an environment where everyone forgets about the differences between them, although they do belong to a variety of cultures and do have different educational backgrounds.

The basic purpose of these meals is to promote tolerance and understanding through international travel and with local participants as well. It is not compulsory to visit Bali or Nicaragua to have an understanding of this world instead it can be done with our neighbors next door.

5.    What are your activities when you are not voluntarily working for the sake of good?

If I speak very honestly, I don’t use to get free time for myself. I do have to continuously work on Servas projects at night, so even my emails are sent emails at improper timings. I have to go to gym daily as physical fitness is necessary to work hard.

Moreover, my mother is having a life-long medical condition, so whenever she needs, I have to stay with her all the time.

6.    Tell us about your upcoming plans regarding travelling or others.

It is really challenging for me to find the activities which I can be involved in like my current activities but I have to keep this fact in my mind that I also have to earn livelihood.

One day, if I would be able to earn money to comply with my economic needs along with working for Servas and for any other NGOs, at that day, I will be really contended and glad.

Sometimes I really feel that I would be doing much good things if I would not be working for Servas, feels like my time gets wasted. But this is my personal challenge.

Thank you, Pablo. We are great full to you for giving us your precious time to share all your volunteer activities we wish you best of luck for your upcoming events like international youth language exchange program and Servas youth conference PATAGONIA ’06. You are truly serving for the man kind for promoting intercultural tolerance and peace for the next generation.

Motorcycles Offer Cheap Motorized Travel and Recreation for All Genereation

As we all know that inflation is rising day by day. Prices of everything, from grocery items to medicines and from the gas to the transportation items, are rising.

Gas price of vehicles has also been affected by this inflation. There are no chances, in the near future for these prices to go down. That is why, everyone should be very careful in their spending and unnecessary expenses.

This is the common concept that if something is bigger than it is better. This concept also applies on vehicles. But, let me tell you that it is not necessary that this concept is always right. Go back and review the high-center problems of SUV’s that occurred almost ten years back.

The most important fact that must be remembered is that big vehicles are not only costly to buy but also to operate. It can need more maintenance and repairs causing more pennies.

$80 only can be charged to fill the gas tank of bigger vehicle. While, the fuel expenses of the SUVs are quite less than the above mentioned cost. Another thing, if you are a frequent user of the big car, your fuel expenses may exceed from the $80.

How to use less fuel?

This was the topic that was roused by the Federal Government of America. They put special attention in solving the above mentioned problem. Government made and passed some laws, regarding this issue. They also instructed the auto manufacturers to make higher gas mileage rating in the vehicles. But, because of the political up and down, adjustments were made.

What caused the increase in current fuel price is the Washington exception on trucks and SUV’s from the higher gas mileage rule. Arnold Schwarzenegger would not be driving 15/10 mpg Hummer H2H if these exceptions were not made.

Youth knows it:

The thinking of youth has changed and finally they have started thinking different from their elders. Our today’s young generation understands that America should now start taking steps, in order, to decrease the dependency of borrowing fuel from other countries.

They believe in the concept of self dependency. They also understand the importance of safeguarding environment. As a result, youth themselves have started taking actions. They now prefer to buy automobiles with improved gas mileage.

They have labeler motor bike as feasible mode of transport, as it require less fuel consumption. Youngsters nowadays prefer to use bikes more than their daddy’s old car. You want prove of this then visit any college and university; you will find more bikes lined on road than cars.

Scooters on the Road, now:

Vespa Scooters are one of the current examples of gasoline powered scooters. These bikes are Italian made. The LX models of these bikes costs less than $5000, only. The speed of these scooters is from 70-80 mpg at near 60 mph. The scooters are working for six and half decades and so company is skilled in introducing this type of products.

The Riptide Scooter, the Sinclair Scooter, and the Wasp Scooter are examples of other models manufactured by an American organization GS Motor Works. In past, GS motor works have also sold the Euro Scooter, the Retro Scooter, and the Sport Scooter.

GS Company does not only sell other company’s manufactured bikes but manufactures its own stripe of scooters too. Their famous always charged Blur Scooters can cost you less and deliver the speed of 70 mph. Black Cat model of theirs 100 plus mpg with the speed of 30 mph.

The Buddy Scooter delivers 100 mpg and has a speed of 30 mph and 70 mph. Range of Stella scooter accessories is also provided by the Genuine Scooter Company.

Motorcycles Serve the Transportation Needs of All Generations of Riders:

There was a time when bikes were considers as a revolution in society. Now, bikes are so common that everyone from adolescent to those moving towards old age, men or women, everyone prefer to have motorbikes as a mode of transport.

People now prefer bikes more than cars as bikes are easy to operate, it can go wherever it wants. Additionally, it does not require much maintenance as required by the cars. You can wash it your own homes and can also change its fuels. It saves your cost of operation. 

Another cost that can be saved by purchasing the bikes and scooters, is the initial investment cost.  The initial cost of the bikes and scooters are much less than that of the cars.

So, you do not need to wait to collect the money for buying a vehicle for you. You can just simply go to the market and survey. Buy, the one that remains within your budget and enjoy your rides.

There is a difference between the scooter and the motorcycle. Where, high school and college going students prefer motorcycles, on the other hand, the elder people prefer scooter more.

At very young age of some people, dirt bikes were introduced and this is the time when those using dirt bikes loved it and loved the idea of having motorcycle than the car. Now when these people are elders, they are provided with vast range of bikes to choose from.

Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Harley Davidson and Kodiak are some of the recent brands manufacturing motorcycles. These companies manufacture bikes for each consumer group like standard motorcycle for the average rider, racing bikes for the adrenaline junkies, the touring bike for those riders who like to take long, leisurely rides across the country and the recreational dirt bike for those who like off-road riding.

These options have given opportunity to the every age group and each sex, to choose the one that meets their needs, as well as, suits their personality. People are also taking high interest in getting the new introduced bikes and scooters and they are becoming more aware about the new innovations. They always do market research before buying these bikes and scooters.

The Dry Beauty of Namibia

Namibia is one of the driest countries of the world. You can also call it ‘dry beauty’ whose beauty lies in multi color landscapes, hills, sparkling fantasies and unfaithful dust devils who can appear anytime.

This obvious misery life is unreliable but somehow animals, plants, and human have adjusted themselves in this environment.

The country is perfect for those who are adventurous and ready for adventure anytime. Everlasting deserts, thorn bush savanna, deserted wind damage coastlines, imposing chasm, and sun baked saltpans are some surprises that traveler gets on reaching the country.

Etosha National Park is Namibia’s one of the top rated places. Birding experience and unsurpassable physical environment are most astonishing.

If you are visiting the place for first time then ballooning over the desert, skydiving over land and sea, paragliding, whitewater rafting and sand skiing are good options to start exploring with.

If you want to have something more enjoyable then go for abseiling, coastal and fresh water angling, desert camel riding, scuba diving, hiking and rock climbing are best options.

Namibia has four geographical regions. On north is Etosha pan popular for its wildlife. Between Zambia and Botswana is a slim Caprivi Strip which is a damp region accompanied with some rivers.

With the shoreline, Namibia desert is located. This desert is said to be oldest desert of world with the age of eighty million years old. At the shoreline is meeting of Atlantic with the burning African desert causing intense fogging in the area.

Namibia is half the size of France with the population of 1.8 million only. Just like the place, residents too are quite different. San also known as Bushmen are most fascinating among all. The people have all the knowledge about their surroundings.

Their environment is different and it is amazing to look how well they have accepted and adjusted to it. We can’t even imagine living without water for a day but it’s absolutely surprising to see these people living in conditions where water is not always available.

Today, population of Bushmen is 50,000. According to historians approximation, Bushmen have had been living as hunter and gatherers for last 25,000 years. Bushmen have their own language to communicate and have special in born skills of storytelling, imitation, and dance.

Other people of Namibia include Bantu who are natives of this place. It is said that they migrated from western Africa about 2,400 years ago. Owambo, Kavango, Caprivians, Herero, Himba, Damara, Nama and Tswana are other African group of people.

In the development of African nation, not only Africans have taken part but also 15% of other groups. Population of white Namibians is almost 120,000 and is mostly German and Afrikaners. Germans moved here in and after 1884 when the country was given a status of German’s territory by Bismarck.

While on the other hand, Afrikaners, mostly white Dutch, migrated to north from Cape ager the Dutch cape colony was surrendered to British in 1806. This people have characteristics of strong and independence and their ancestors disliked British.

Basters and Coloreds are two other groups of people that reside in Namibia. Colored in Namibia and South Africa are considered as people with mixed ethnic tradition as in black and white. These people have different individuality and background.

Namibia’s infertility and rude shorelines restricted European explorers. But in 1884, German merchant Adolf Luderitz settled permanently in between Namib Desert and Atlantic seaboard. Bismarck then confirmed the area covered by Namibia a German colony and called it South West Africa. It was expected that successors of land will clash when German settlers will move in land.

Herero were not very happy and content about the profession of Germans. Herero always dislikes the cruel and chauvinistic law of Germans and their violation and interference in African land, lives, and way of life. In early 1904, Herero unexpectedly rose in weapons against their colonial overlords.

Later this revolution was joined by Nama. Authorities were not able to control the situation in six months. Many German pioneers and armed forces died in this revolution.

Lieutenant General Lothar von Trotha was given this authority to turn down the revolution. Rudolf Goering, who was the father of Herman Goering, was assigned as governor general of region. Lothar von Trotha had kind of thinking that became the policy of government under the third Reich. His argument was to demolish the Herero as a people and he did not care about women and children dying. In the end, many Nama and Herero died. Many awful things took place in camps of survivors. The Herero lost very poorly, 80% of people were destroyed. Population of Nama too was declined by 35-50%.

The only right city in the country is now Windhoek with the population of 165,000 people. This is the city to resolve practical issues. The features of German period can be noticed in looks of old buildings of the city. State Museum, State Archives, and the Namibia Crafts Center are the appealing places to visit.

Another place to visit is the Dan Vilijoen Game Park located in 24 kilometers west of Windhoek. Here you can take a look of beautiful creatures of God like ostriches, baboons, zebras, and 200 plus species of birds.

Those who like to roam the city on weekends; The Waterburg Plateau Park is just perfect to visit. It is place in 230 kilometers from Windhoek. This mountain located place is habitat to cheetah, leopard, kudu, giraffe, and white rhinos.

Namibia is quite special for those who love wildlife. Reason of the specialty is Etosha National Park. In this park, you will find vast variety of species. This abnormal land of Etosha carries Savanna grassland in it along with dark bush and forest.

But sometimes it’s a depression that grips water and cover up the area of 5000 square kilometers in Etosha pan. The continuing spring adjacent the pan is what attracts birds and land animals in winters. The view is amazing and excellent for photography.

The park is home to almost 144 species of animals and elephants in particular are plenty. Giraffe, leopard, cheetah, jackal, blue wildebeest, gemsbok, and blue rhino are among other animals. Over 300 bird species live here.

Lodging facilities are excellent here and you can spend three days observing this nature of God. Time between May and September is best to observe the animals. Etosha is located in 400 kilometers to the north of Windhoek.

Fish river valley is the only valley in the US larger. The valley is located 160 kilometers and has a breadth of 27 kilometers and deepness of 550 meters. But this is not only the size that makes this canyon attractive.

What appeals are the stunning views from different angles. Hiking is another feature that attracts adventurous people. 90 kilometer hiking track is especially developed and can take four to five days to complete.

The track ends in Ai-Ais spring resort, the best place to relax. Hiking is allowed from beginning of May to end of September. The hike is definitely exhausting and you have to be in good shape to proceed. The authorities won’t allow you to go on a hike before seeing your medical fitness certificates. Fish river valley is located 580 kilometers to the south of Windhoek.

The skeleton coast is a burial ground of seafarers and whales. Intense fog is the issue of this place. Next to the place is one of the most dry and hostile placing called Namib Desert. Adventurous people trek here along the shoreline to absorb the beauty of the place. On the south Cape Cross is located where whole colony is developed having many seals. The coast park covers the area of 16,400 square kilometers and is 355 kilometers northwest of Windhoek.

In 1486, Diego Cao, a Portuguese explorer, explored this area. He is one of those who depressed Europeans through his experiences from venturing ashore until the arrival of Germans 400 years later. On the south, Namib-Naukluft National Park is located. It is the backwoods covering the area of 50,000 square kilometers.

The land is varied and has the features of mountain outcrops, majestic sand dunes, and deep cut gorges. The Sossusvlej area is supreme for stunning dunes.

Kavango and Caprivi Strip region is located at the northeast of the country. The area is perfect for camping and for bird lovers. Kaudom, Caprivi, Mahango, Mudumu, and Mamili are the game reserves of area. During the civil war in Angola, Poachers did huge harm to wildlife. Now animals are increasing at big rate. Leopard, elephant, buffalo, cheetah, lion and other different species are including in wildlife.

More than half of the year is summer in Namibia and sun is shining for 300 days. The temperature of shoreline varies between 5C to 25C. The temperature of land varies between 20C to 34C and can increase up to 40C in north & south of the country. Not only summer is severe but winter is equally severe and ice crop up in most parts of country. The rain falls take place in summers and Caprivi region faces most heavy rains of the season. Rains do not affect travel plans. March to October is the best time to visit the place. December to march is worst time to visit the Namib desert and Etosha.

Cotton clothes are best options for summers. For winters, go for warmers, sweaters, and heavy cottons. In summer, land get hot so make sure you have good pair of shoes. Camera, binoculars, sunglasses, sun hats, sunscreen, mosquito repellant are stuff you should have in travelling. The places are quite foggy so make sure to have dust proof luggage. Do remember that things made of ivory are not allowed to carry through customs so don’t buy it.

The Story From The Mackinnon-cann Inn

Last night was one of the nicest and peaceful nights I have spent. I can’t describe the satisfaction and comfort I get inside my soft high threaded count sheets and comforters of my house at Mackinnon-Cann.

Yesterday was quite hectic and that drive down the Evangeline Trail and tour to Bear River First Nation Heritage and Cultural Center followed by evening walk to Yarmouth’s Victorian heritage areas certainly made me exhausted.

But that day is gone, and new sun has arrived with new adventures and excitement.

Breakfast is the most important thing to have to start any day and so it was first on my list of the day. I got ready and dressed up and walked towards the adorned dining area of Mackinnon-Cann Inn.

Breakfast was being ready by one of the co-owners of Inn named by Neil Hisgen. He sometimes also stops at inn to see if guests are enjoying themselves. I chatted with him for almost ten minutes about Mackinnon-Cann and other properties.

He belongs to Racine, Wisconsin and has a family with six offspring. The man served six years of his life in navy but after very short time period he came back to home having a plan of settling down in Fort Lauderdale in Florida to make career in hospitality.

First work he did in this career was at front desk in Marriot Hotel. Then he worked for 18 years in different hotels to gain experience. The last job he did as an employee was as a general manager in some popular hotel.

As the year 1997 was approaching its end, Neil came across his life partner Michael Tavares who also happens to be his business partner. He earned quite well an amount on sell of his foremost house. They used the 200 acre land of Michael at peninsula as their vacation house. On the special invitation of Michael, Neil spent about a month of his life at farm near Yarmouth. Neil loved it as he always had cherished the seasons.

Together, Neil and Michael were exploring themselves and finally reached on a decision of opening a bed and breakfast in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. They got lucky when they found out a stunning Victorian residential district having countless restoration breaks. Now, Neil had to finish his work in kitchen and so Michael joined me and told me about his life.

Michael belongs to Boston and is raised in southern part of the Boston. His majors were education in college. Later after schooling, he switched his field to real estate and opened his own brokerage firm. He always found himself attracting to ancient buildings and proved this by narrating a childhood story.

When he was 12/13 years old, there was an old farm house located near his house. He always thought on who owns this place and lives in this place. He shared his views with his mother. Seeing his curiousness, his mother with him went to land registry to find out history of the farm house.

Then he took the document and went to the current owners of the place. He let them knew about history of the place. Owners loved it. From that time, Michael is in love with beauty and history of ancient properties. He converted his love in to his profession and started buying and restoring old buildings. He has restored eight buildings in the south end of Boston.

Later he shifted to Key West and started new career of landscape architect. There he lived for five-six years and completed some assignment of designing garden for gay community.

In the year 1980, he finally took the decision of buying 200 acre land and using it as vacation property in Nova Scotia. The relationship with Yarmouth had already started at that time. Michael later made Fort Lauderdale his permanent home and met Neil at fundraising event. They lived in for a year.

In 1988, Michael invited Neil to visit his land in Nova Scotia as they were planning to spend life together. Their relationship is almost eight years old and they have been living in Nova Scotia for same period of time. The first building they restored is Victorian brick mansion presently Charles C. Richards House.

In 1887, The Mackinnon-Cann was originally built and is an art of Italianate Victorian style. The house was basically built for two cousins. Presently too, the inn has two staircases side by side.

In 2000, Neil and Michael took the hold of building and transformed it into stunning and one of the beautiful manors. The manor is consisting of seven rooms; each is adorned in different and stunning style reflecting the interior of 20th century.

The main floor has five parlors and whole dining area is made of stunning wood floor. Neil himself is a glass artist and he himself has designed every glass window of Mackinnon-Cann.

Further, Michael told me how activate he is in Nova Scotia’s heritage community. He too is a member of two historic organizations.

He is also a board of director of the Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia. The aim of this trust is to preserve the beauty of ancient buildings in the province.

Mackinnon-Cann Inn and the Charles C. Richards House; both are provincially registered heritage belongings. Michael also serves as a member of the Provincial Heritage Owners Association of Nova Scotia consists of 265 provincial heritage properties. Both the inns are also rewarded at several events.

In 2005, restoration award from the Yarmouth County Historical Society and L.B. Jenson Award was given to Michael and Neil for making great contribution in the development and economic health of Yarmouth Heritage Community.

Now a days, Michael is working on restoring another Victorian heritage property. He is planning to transform this building into a restaurant targeting tourist and local people of the community of Yarmouth.

Example of Neil and Michael’s recent work is blue-colored Victorian heritage property situated in middle of Mackinnon-Cann and Charles C. Richards House. In total, Michael and Neil have restored an entire street block, four historic places and have transformed these properties in beautiful architecture.

Michael Tavares also serves as the president of the Nova Scotia Association of Unique Country Inns. This marketing and branding group supports the endorsement of tourism in historic places. Michael looks in to marketing of inn and Neil takes care of hospitality and inn-keeping.

Michael has committed himself for the protection and restoration of old properties.  He thoroughly respects historical properties. He starts and finishes all his projects with special care and feelings which according to him many renovators do not think about. According to Michael, if we want to safeguard our culture then we should start it by restoring ancient properties.

At the very same time, he is also concerned about future of his investments and as a member of Local Yarmouth Town Planning Council he aims to take active role in shaping the town’s future. Michael and Neil are definitely one of the important persons of town who have invested many dollars and countless hours in protecting heritage and business projects.

When Michael started his career in hospitality and in preserving old building in Yarmouth, he was not accepted immediately. He was an outsider, outspoken, and always questioning and arguing on old ways of doing works. New society took some time to accept Michael especially when he and Neil was a gay couple.

But once he was accepted, no doubts remained in believing his intentions for the betterment of society. He always gave local electricians, plumbers, carpet layers, etc a chance to work in transformation of old properties.

He made local workers his main supplier. This earned him the respect and trust of local merchants. He has earned such goodwill that people take his suggestions and advices before make important decision on important issues of the town.

After I was done with my yummy and healthy breakfast, Michael gave me special tour of all of his properties. The first on the list was smaller Victorian house. The house is under renovation. Michael is conducting himself his other assignments.

He himself will do all the architecture and call the specialized contractors only when needed. He definitely has an art of rescuing a property and turning it into most stylish and stunning property from bad looking almost ruined property.

Then we visited blue Victorian mansion which is recently restored. We finished the visits with Charles C. Richards House. The house is a striking Victorian brick mansion with elegant architecture. The building work was started in 1893 and completed over a period of two years. It was the first brick house that ever builds in Yarmouth.

Special material was used in building like brownstone, granite, and bricks especially imported from United States. Michael informed me about interesting fact that it took him one season to strip the layers of paint and thirty two weeks to repaint it.

Unique and stunning looks of each room is definitely admirable. The flower-filled conservatory adds more beauty to it. Before leaving the Inn, I requested for a photograph of Neil and Michael. They posed for me in front of beautifully wooden staircase which takes you to the rooms in upper floor.

I finally have now reached to the end of my beautiful and memorable journey of introduction to architectural preservation and heritage tourism in Yarmouth. I expressed my gratitude for welcoming me here and giving me all the details of their work.

I prepared myself for next journey ahead: exploration of Yarmouth history at the Yarmouth County Historical Museum situated right side of the street from Charles C. Richards House.

General Luggage Policies

The point which should be taken into notice is that when the total number of inches (e.g. 45”) is used to show the maximum size of any measurement then it means the total of inches show the total of the length, breath and height of that thing combined.

There are some defined dimensions which are used to standardize these totals (for an example, 22 x 14 x 9, standard for 45 inches) but in case you own a bag having irregular shape and it fulfills the total of the inches but still there is a risk of it being rejected. In most stores, there are bags with the name of “carry-on” but they don’t have the standard 45” inches size actually but larger than that.

The luggage stores not only but manufacturers also not measure these bags accurately. Most of the airlines accept the standard safe maximum size 45” with 22” x 14” x 9” as dimensions but some accept maximum 55”. They measure the inner size of the compartment usually leaving all the outer pockets, wheels and carry handle, which will only add to the number of total inches.

If your bag exceeds even one extra inch then you’ll have to try to squeeze and fit your bag into the luggage template by the gate. You’ll get on board having legal but a large sized carryon content.

If you find your overhead bins already full then you will have to fit your luggage under the front seat but it may not fit there, no matter your bag is under the standard size guideline of the airlines.

You’ll mostly find on the international airlines that the space under the front seat is getting really smaller and the reason is they have fit electronic boxes under to entertain each passenger.

If you find that the seat is free from that blocking box then you’ll notice very little space under the aisle seat, a little more under the wing seat and most space under the middle one and this could be taken as the only advantage of this seat. Your bag can just fit into that space in words but not in real because of the geometry and angles of the space.

You will have to free yourself by bringing the smallest bag of your true need for your ease and the fellow passengers as well. The most airlines restrict you with their rules about the luggage size, weight and the number of luggage brought to the plane but U.S. domestic airlines are liberal about their limits.

Traveler’s survey

Talking about the survey taken in June 04 of Travel Insider Newsletter readers, 80% of readers said that they did not find any problem exceeding their carryon luggage than the given limits.

But you will have a different opinion on this if you will find the overhead bins filling up all the space with big sized heavy weight carryon bags and there is no space for your small size bag, which you brought following all the guidelines and rules. 94.5% readers had the statement that they don’t exceed carryon luggage limits.

These items are for example a briefcase, camera, Handbag/Purse, Laptop (in carry bag), and other items in 36" limit as total dimension, Reading Matter, Small book-bag style backpack, and an Umbrella.

Generally you are allowed to carry a bag and a personal item but some airlines give you the relaxation to bring content e.g. coats, hats and other 'outer clothing' items, 'assistive devices' such as crutches/canes and wheelchairs, diaper bags and approved child safety seats.

These airlines do not charge any extra cash for this. If you are unlucky for having an airline which forces you to follow the carryon luggage guidelines then you will have to get your disallowed items checked. Some international airlines restrict you especially about the weight of your carryon luggage.

In some airlines, there is so much pathetic and absurd limit of weight as low as 11lbs which even is less than the total weight of your carryon bag.

So you need to be very careful while flying on an international airline otherwise you will surely find someone, the next time when you would be on the airport, worriedly and anxiously unpacking and then repacking his carryon luggage on the checking counter’s floor, and would get shocked if he would be YOU! It is seen sometimes that even international airlines also have smaller standard limits for carryon luggage allowances.

If you want to save your self from all this hectic and want your luggage bags to get approved by both domestic and international airlines then you need to have one bag or two of smaller sizes whose combined total size is even less than the maximum allowed domestic carryon sizes.

You will find your carryon and checked content allowances for luggage got even more shrink while you are flying on a reasonable small plane.

Employment status must be taken into account while the marketers go ahead to allocate the resources for marking the customers.

The number of contacts which a full time employee makes is equal to both the part timers and stay-at-homers.

For sampling his products, a customer package goods manufacturer tries to stay near the customers’ workplace instead of traditional in-home sampling. “Contact” in context of study, which can be described as “any kind of communication directly to an in-person, via phone, instant/text messages, or written as email, of a person with another person.

Stay-at-homers mostly do regular visits to chat rooms, free email services, message boards, forums or any place where they can find an information room easily. It’s a good way to pass the information online, using web site addresses and promotion codes. It’s a well working trick for this group of people in marketing efforts.

Marketers take income of $75000 as a gateway to richness but results showed a clear cut increase in word of mouth or (WOM) activity for people having incomes between $75000 to $90000 as compared to the ones having incomes $100000 or above.

Technology plays a vital role in nurturing different generations’ WOM. Just have a look into it here. Youth is greatly working in building their personal online media, as almost one quarter owns their own blog and half (49%) owns a website.

Talking about their peers, a quarter goes to chat rooms and message boards regularly and instant or text messaging does 17% of the contact activity. Gen X and boomers are more inclined towards emailing resulting in positive WOM.

These groups have matured their selves for viral email campaigns. Research showed that marketers’ interest is to reach silver birds via message boards and chat rooms.

Comparing with boomers, marketers do more activities in these areas and reach almost equal to the activity of Gen X. The main reason for this is their interest in reconnection with their family and friends. They desire to do discussions about health, medical and some other problems of aging with professionals and peers.

This group of people have done lots of hard work all of their life and now they have lots of time and money to spend on these types of trips, cruises, flights around the world.

Duty-Free Travel Information

The European Union, Iceland, Norway, Japan, Singapore, Australia and other countries have put some terms and regulations into effect regarding liquids in hand carry bags.

The passengers are having the potential implementation, who buy liquid duty-free items (e.g. perfume and liquor), while they go to or from international destinations.

This is because a number of duty-free shops in some countries are situated before the security checkpoint, so to pass these duty-free items from these security checkpoints, they are packed in special sealed tamper-evident bags.

U.S. checkpoint does not accept the tamper-evident bag currently. These are the guidelines must be followed by you in U.S. or abroad to avoid the risk of having your liquid duty free items abandoned.

Note: the items for which these security measures apply are as follows; liquid, gel and aerosol.

Passengers who are going to travel from the United States to an international destination will get permitted for their duty free items of any size in the US if they have a direct flight to the international destination.

But in case, your flight is not direct then the duty free item which is having a container size more than three ounces will not be permitted through the security checkpoints as it will not be sealed in an approved tamper-evident bag.

Note: In U.S., you will not be receiving any tamper evident bag for buying a liquid duty free item, before passing through international checkpoints.

Passengers who return from an international destination to United States: on flights whose destination is U.S. Duty free items bought on plane or after the security checkpoint, will only get permission, in case they get delivery in the aircraft for passenger pickup.

If you are having an INDIRECT flight then the duty free items which come up with the U.S. requirements will not be permitted to pass the security checkpoint.

So you will have to place them in your checked luggage and you will be reclaiming them before passing through custom check, you can have a look on your items and place them in your bag.

Be careful while going to any country, do some homework on that country’s laws and regulations as they change from country to country.

Some countries strictly forbid any type of sprays, fruits, nuts or liquors. The tip while you are on an international trip is that you must buy any duty free items when your journey is about to end.

Countries that provide tamper evident bags are Europe, Japan etc so before the checkpoints, don’t open the bag otherwise they will seize your duty free purchases.

If you are having an indirect flight, and you are going to come back from it, and your destination is United States, you must use your time doing some useful stuff like placing your liquid duty free content in your bags which have been checked.

Below are some guidelines regarding the dimensions for carryon luggage, which would be useful for you when you are planning to go for an international tour.

The first thing which you need to care for is that you must comply with the rules and regulations about the carryon sizes and other things of that particular flight. U.S.: it is seen that most of the airlines either they are domestic or commuter, their dimensions are 22”x14”x9”.

There are some airlines which allow you the second smaller sized item along, for example a tote, cosmetic bag, briefcase, and some others.

Talking about the international dimensions, they are 18”x14”x9”. This is not a standard dimension but it is the most recommended and it changes with the change in the airlines.

One of the amazing experiences which I can never forget is when I met an Arab person who was living in Paris. A show which was in Ute Lemper, was being seen by us together. I heard of the concert tickets of my favorite German singer but sadly, they were all been SOLD OUT! I was feeling bad about this.

But I got surprised when he asked me, Pablo! I have bought tickets to the German singer show tonight, would you like to go? And I had a great experience there with him.
