“Networking with other tourist attractions like Kaziranga National Park, Manas National Park and Dihing-Patkai wildlife sanctuary will also be possible. The tea tourism sector in Darjeeling, which has already been established, will also be linked with Tocklai as most of the tea gardens are members of the association,” ...
Five-month-old regional newspaper the North West Enquirer has published its last issue after going into administration today.
Administrators Harrisons were called in today after one of the newspaper's funders changed the terms of their investment, said the managing director, Nick Jaspan.
"The directors took the view that this would place too much uncertainty on the funding package so very reluctantly we decided that the most appropriate action was to call in the administrators," Mr Jaspan said.
The newspaper, which had a staff of 26, has ceased publishing and the Harrisons will look to sell the company's assets.
At launch in April, the £1 weekly paper secured a seven-figure finance deal from its 12 unnamed private backers and its two equity funds, Northwest Equity Fund and Northwest Seed Fund, a mixture of private and public funding. The Bank of Scotland has also agreed to unsecured funding. The weekly, aimed at high-income pr...
The paper also issued about 7,000 free and bulk weekly copies to airlines, which was not part of its original business plan.
The title competed with 12 daily and 48 paid-for weekly newspapers in the region - targeting the 1.3 million adults in the AB demographic - the largest concentration of AB adults outside the south-east.
The paper was based in central Manchester and sold in the area bordered by the Peak and Lake Districts, north Wales, the Isle of Man and parts of the Potteries in north Staffordshire and Calderdale in West Yorkshire.
The board was chaired by Sir David Trippier, a former Conservative MP for Rossendale and the chairman of WH Ireland stockbrokers.
Last month, the North West Enquirer made its deputy editor, Paul Blebta, and news editor, David Anderson, redundant in a wave of cutbacks.

In another sign of scales majorly falling off of eyes where VR is concerned, games developer CCP Games — which made a big early bet on virtual reality gaming — is pulling the plug on two of its studios that had been working on VR titles.
CCP Games is restructuring its studio locations worldwide, driven primarily by reduced investments in virtual reality and an increased focus on PC and mobile games. This has resulted in a reorganization and centralization of its five studios across the world to three in Reykjavík, Shanghai, and London.
In the coming weeks, CCP will undertake the following proposed measures: The closure of its Atlanta studio with VR development moved to London, the sale of its Newcastle studio, and the elimination of a number of positions worldwide. The company´s Shanghai studio will be reduced and refocused to support growing busines...
There are no changes to ongoing plans for EVE Online and the company´s product pipeline is strong. In early October CCP confirmed continued development of its PC FPS game, ‘Project Nova’ and announced a new mobile game, ‘Project Aurora,’ both set in the EVE Universe. Both projects are on track and unaffected by these c...
Two years ago, as the most recent hype wave was once again raising hopes around the tech, CCP announced a $30 million raise from Novator and NEA — specifically for developing VR games.
The veteran games developer was seeking a second act for its 12-year old MMORPG, Eve Online. Its early experiments resulted in EVE Valkyrie: One of the first game prototypes for the Oculus Rift. Another of its VR projects, Gunjack, targeted mobile VR.
CCP’s soon-to-be-shuttered Atlanta studio had also been working on a Playstation VR title called Sparc — which it described as “a unique physical sport only possible in virtual reality, in which players compete in fast-paced, full-body VR gameplay”.
While the company is not pulling out of VR development entirely, a statement from CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson makes it clear it’s pressing pause and conspicuously stepping back from its former positioning at “front and center in the second wave of VR” — as the commercial reality of very low consumer uptake and interest...
And this despite Pétursson sounding very bullish on the VR games market as recently as seven months ago when the total addressable market was estimated at less than two million units.
But belief in long term tech change is a world away from spying a viable business in the short term and directing your resources to capitalize on a tangible opportunity.
VR may be very many things in the far-flung future. Right now, for many players, a viable business it’s not.
As we wrote this summer, this VR cycle is dead. Check back in five years. And be happy if you didn’t already bet the farm on an overhyped fantasy.
Rales -- also called crackles -- and wheezing are breath sounds produced by the lungs. These sounds can be distinguished with auscultation, the use of a stethoscope. Lung sounds can be heard in all parts of the chest from the collar bone to the bottom of the rib cage. Rales and wheezing are two of the four most common ...
Place the ear plugs in your ear canal and position the chest piece against the front peripheral area of the patient's chest. The peripheral area is the upper part of the chest towards the arms. Listen to the breath sounds during normal breathing.
Place the chest piece against the chest in the area near the front of the bottom of the rib cage. Listen to the breath sounds during normal breathing.
Place the chest piece against the chest in the back peripheral area of the chest and listen to the breath sounds during normal breathing.
Place the chest piece against the chest in the area near the back of the bottom of the rib cage. Listen to the breath sounds during normal breathing.
Repeat Steps 1 through 4 and listen to the sounds as the patient takes deep breaths as necessary.
Determine whether the sounds are heard continuously during inspiration or expiration or both. If so, the patient has wheezing sounds, which are caused by air moving through airways narrowed by constriction or swelling or an airway with a partial obstruction.
Determine whether the sounds are heard intermittently, briefly or are non-musical. This type of sound is characterized as crackles or rales, which are caused by air being forced through respiratory passages narrowed by fluid, mucus or pus.
A qualified medical professional will be able to determine the type of sound, possible causes and appropriate treatment.
The presence of rales or wheezing may indicate a serious medical condition. Patients should consult a doctor. The doctor may conduct further tests such as analysis of a sputum sample, a blood test, a chest X-ray, a CT scan or pulmonary function tests.

Thousands of Michigan State students have celebrated the football team’s Big Ten title with large, rowdy bonfires.
East Lansing police arrested multiple people Saturday night near River and Cedar streets, which is a traditional spot for MSU students to party after major sports victories. No. 10 MSU defeated No. 2 Ohio State 34-24 late Saturday, earning its first Rose Bowl appearance in a quarter-century.
The Detroit News reported that students threw landscaping trees, a bicycle and kitchen fire extinguishers into a bonfire near the Cedar Village apartments. The Lansing State Journal said that fire was one of at least three large ones.
Officers surrounded another large fire on River Street at about 2:30 a.m. and marched slowly down the street in order to get the crowd to disperse.
Pub bosses have apologised after asking a group of trainee priests to leave their Cardiff venue, mistaking them for a stag party in fancy dress.
The seven Roman Catholic seminarians had gone to The City Arms to toast Father Peter McClaren's ordination when they were asked to move on.
But assistant manager Matt Morgan said they received a free round of drinks when the situation was explained.
"They were all dressed in their black and white clothes," he said.
"The staff thought they were a stag. We do have quite a few issues on the weekends with parties wearing fancy dress so it is our policy to turn them away."
Father Michael Doyle, who knows the group, said the seven went to the pub in Quay Street to celebrate the ordination at Cardiff Metropolitan Cathedral of St David in nearby Charles Street.
He added the pub was a favourite of his colleagues including the Archbishop of Cardiff, George Stack.
"They arrived at The City Arms and they were dressed wearing the clerical collar," he said.
"The doorman basically said something along the lines of, 'sorry gents, we have a policy of no fancy dress and no stag dos'."
The students had started to leave when they were approached by the bar manager.
"He basically said, 'you're real, aren't you?'," said Fr Doyle.
"He invited them back in and when they walked back in the entire pub burst into a round of applause, and they had a free round off The City Arms."
Fr Doyle said the group stayed at the pub most of the afternoon chatting to customers.
Mr Morgan said the priests were "all great sports and saw the funny side of the situation".
A spokesman for the Archdiocese of Cardiff added: "We'd like to thank The City Arms for being good sports through all of this and their kind gesture to our seminarians."
What happens when travel is disrupted by stag and hen parties?
Last month’s Presidential debate, at Hofstra University, on Long Island, the first between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, was promoted more like a Mayweather-Pacquiao title bout than like a traditional ritual of the election cycle. In the end, Clinton’s performance was not only a win but enough of a knockout to resu...
In fact, a week before the debate, Clinton delivered what was billed as a “millennial” speech at Temple University, in Philadelphia—her most direct appeal yet to that group. Her comments about the cost of education (and her agreement with Sanders on the issue) and her denunciation of Trump’s birtherism were well receiv...
According to an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, Clinton holds a lead of just sixteen points over Trump among younger voters. That gap narrows to twelve per cent when Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are included. (In a Times/CBS poll, more than a third of voters between the ages of eighteen and twenty-nine said that they will...
Even so, the idealism seems muted this time around. A possible explanation is that young voters simply reflect the broader dynamic of American partisanship. The Republican and Democratic standard-bearers, no matter their relative qualifications, assets, and quirks, are only modestly more important than voters’ basic pa...
Other explanations for Clinton’s difficulties are more specific to her. She has spoken self-effacingly about the fact that she is not a “natural politician.” As she told the students at Temple, “I will never be the showman my opponent is, and you know what? That’s O.K. with me.” A larger concern is rooted in Clinton’s ...
President Obama has said that Hillary Clinton’s record as First Lady, senator, and Secretary of State makes her the most qualified Presidential candidate ever—but it also means that she represents the sort of institutional power that young voters distrust. It’s a can’t-win-for-losing paradox, considering that a central...
A similar dynamic afflicts Clinton’s support among African-Americans. Black Lives Matter activists have repeatedly criticized her for her support of her husband’s 1994 crime bill and for a speech she made, in 1996, in which she talked about “super predators”—a term that, in the context of the time, was used to refer to...
Free State police have warned pensioners to be on the alert for fraudsters trying to dig into their life savings after a retired Welkom miner was fleeced out of R100 000 by three people who claimed to represent his former company.
"All pensioners are sternly warned not to believe anyone coming to their residence but to rather go personally to their previous place of employment should they have any enquiries," said police spokesperson Captain Stephen Thakeng on Friday.
He said that on April 1, two men and a woman pulled up to the miner's house in Rheederspark, Welkom, in the latest Renault.
Dressed in sleek corporate clothes, they introduced themselves as mine officials and proceeded to produce documentation with details of the miner, and announced his pension had been underpaid.
They asked for his bank statement, which he gave them, and the woman spoke to somebody on her phone and then instructed them to deposit the owed money to the man.
He received a cellphone notification to say that he had been credited with R419 000.
However, they suddenly claimed he had been overpaid by mistake, and was only supposed to have received R319,000.
He duly returned R100,000 by transfer.
That money was part of the balance they gleaned from the pensioner's bank statement when they had it in their possession during the "formal" meeting.
When the miner realised he had been fleeced, he contacted the police who found out that the vehicle they had arrived in was a rental vehicle. They are still trying to track the fraudsters down.
A case of fraud is being investigated and Detective Sergeant Malefetsane Tilo of Welkom detective services would welcome any leads in finding them to get the miner's money back.
Tilo can be contacted on 057 391 6275 during office hours or on 083 268 0908.
The Government plans to launch a common mobile money wallet next year that will make it possible for full interoperability between service providers.
The new system, which will also allow seamless transactions between users, will be owned and managed by the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) and could render obsolete a similar initiative launched by Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom Kenya earlier this year.
This comes on the back of the latest network outage on the M-Pesa platform that saw subscribers stranded at the weekend, leading to a crisis meeting yesterday between Safaricom, CA and the Central Bank of Kenya.
“It is becoming clearer that interoperability of mobile money will have to be seamless,” said CA Director-General Francis Wangusi in an interview with The Standard.
“I cannot tell you the specifics of the plan because it is still under discussion with the board, but we are also in discussion with Central Bank since there are certain aspects of interoperability that are outside our mandate,” he said.
Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom earlier this year launched an industry initiative to have users send and receive money across the three networks.
However, the plan has seen little improvement in the seamlessness of transactions, with Safaricom users charged four times more to send money to Airtel users compared to the same transaction made to M-Pesa subscribers.
“We are encouraging more service providers to come on board and at the end of it the choice will be the consumers’,” said Mr Wangusi.
The mobile money interoperability switch is part of recommendations made by UK consultants Analysys Mason in a study commissioned by CA to look at dominance issues in the telecoms sector.
