EXCISE DUTY ON ALCOHOL The Delhi government announced a 70% hike in the price of liquor across categories in the capital. Delhi’s “special corona fee” on alcohol underlines the importance of liquor to the economy of the states.

About: Liquor contributes a considerable amount to the exchequers of all states and Union Territories except Gujarat and Bihar, both of which have enforced prohibition. Generally, states levy excise duty on manufacture and sale of liquor. Some states, for example Tamil Nadu, also impose VAT (value added tax). States also charge special fees on imported foreign liquor; transport fee; and label & brand registration charges. A few states, such as Uttar Pradesh, have imposed a “special duty on liquor” to collect funds for special purposes, such as maintenance of stray cattle. According to a report published by the RBI in September 2019, state excise duty on alcohol accounts for around 10-15 per cent of Own Tax Revenue of a majority of states. In fact, state excise duties on liquor is the second or third largest contributor to the category State’s Own Tax revenue; sales tax (now GST) is the largest. During 2018-19, the five states that collected the highest revenue from excise duty on liquor were Uttar Pradesh (Rs 25,100 crore), followed by Karnataka, Maharashtra, West Bengal and Telangana.  Source : Indian Express ( Economy ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Top IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy Coronavirus Global Reponse Pledging Conference British Prime Minister Boris Johnson opened a virtual global conference on COVID-19 by calling on all countries to step up their efforts and work together on fighting the coronavirus pandemic.

About: H1N1 Flu Virus (Swine Flu) is an infection caused by type A influenza viruses. Who are infected? It's named for a virus that pigs can get. People do not normally get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen. In 2009 a strain of swine flu called H1N1 infected many people around the world. The virus is contagious and can spread from human to human. Symptoms: Symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Spread in India: February-March are typical months for influenza in India. Most influenza activity in northern India was seen during the summer months, but in southern and western India, cases occurred mostly during winter months.  Important Info : Swine flu vs COVID-19? While both HIN1 and COVID-19 are due to pathogens that trace their origins to viruses from non-human hosts, they belong to different families.While both infiltrate the lungs and cause characteristic pulmonary infections, they have varying lethality.Swine flu infections have a higher case fatality rates (deaths per confirmed cases) and can cause significant deaths in children as well as those less than 60.COVID-19 on the other hand is relatively more dangerous to those above 60 and almost harmless in children.  Source : The Hindu ( Health ) Read UPSC Current affairs and Daily News Analysis from Top IAS Academy in Bangalore Vignan IAS Academy New Specified Health Warning on Tobacco Products packs Union Ministry of Health has notified a new set of images with specified health warnings for all tobacco product packs by amending the Cigarettes and other Tobacco Products (Packaging and Labelling) Rules, 2008 via “The Cigarettes and other Tobacco Products (Packaging and Labelling) Amendment Rules, 2020”.

October 16-21, Colorado

October 16th I headed to Lafayette to visit with James Risinger and Pete Abel. Gae spent the day playing with her best bud, Jil. I put together the previous weeks blog using James’ wifi, while he took care of some errands in the afternoon. Pete made his appearance a couple beers in to the evening, and the party started in earnest.

Here’s Pete demonstrating his scientist credentials with a decades old periodic table he keeps with him at all times... you’re slaying me smalls!

We took Mindy, James’ puppy out for a run at dusk before walking to a nearby pizza place for dinner.

October 17th, sporting a light hangover, we headed up Flagstaff road for a hike up Green Mountain West Ridge Trail.

The view from the top includes a key to all the peaks visible with their altitudes... cool!

Pete, James and myself at the top and loving the perfect day.

Thousands of Ladybugs littered the crown of the mountain, which Pete had seen at the top of many trails along the foothills.

The trail was beautifully maintained, with many sets of natural looking stairs.

A stone cabin sat near the beginning of the trail that was available to rent.

October 18th Gae and I drove to Salida to visit Ruth Koning at her beautiful Arkansas riverfront home.

She’d made her first peach cobbler using Palisade, Colorado peaches... it didn’t make it to bowls before being devoured;-)

Here’s Gae and Ruth soaking up the sun on a bench Ruth put together from deck scraps.

We took a walk along the Arkansas... this is the view north, with Mount Princeton high in the distance.

Gae showed off her authentic Labradorite (mined in Labrador) pendant she got from a gem and mineral store in Pasadena, Newfoundland.

October 19th we helped move a wind break Ruth hoped would shelter her beautiful deck overlooking the river.

Here’s Gae and Ruth finishing up while I admired their skill.

Ruth had replaced a door with a window on the south side, which she finished with panels after struggling to schedule a stucco man. I really liked the result:-)

In the evening we joined in on a weekly get together with Ruth and friends for discount Margarita and pizza night at Moonlight Pizza and Brewpub.

 Here’s Gae sharing a smile with her Calzone before eating it:-)

Here’s all the ladies after drinks and dinner.

After dinner Ruth gave us a tour of downtown Salida... I liked the “creative district” adornments.

Gae hopped on for a brief ride with a sombrero at a local Mexican Restaurant.

One shop was filled with fantastic creatures for sale.

October 20th we headed back to Denver after more visiting a great breakfast Ruth cooked for us. She include King Bolete mushrooms she’d picked this season... an awesome treat for me!

We stopped briefly on the way north where I took this picture of a small part of a large heard of alpacas.

October 21st I did a last coat of mud on the patched walls and Gae and I got out for a walk in the breezy, cool afternoon.

A brief history of barbed wire

New Post has been published on https://nexcraft.co/a-brief-history-of-barbed-wire/

A brief history of barbed wire

There are more than 700 steel knots in The “Bobbed Wire” Bible, Jack Glover’s “illustrated guide to identification and classification” of barbed wire. They have names like Scutt’s Wooden Block, Greenbriar, Glidden Union Pacific, and the J. Brotherton Parallel. Scrupulously updated and republished by Cow Puddle Press starting in the 1960s, the bible—like the rest of barbed wire’s history—is one-part Americana and one-part innovation. Glover’s book and similar materially-specific compendiums (the Barbed Wire: Identification Encyclopedia comes to mind) document the minutiae of fencing materials and techniques. But these texts are also treasure chests of historical and cultural insight; behind each illustration is an inventor, a time, place, and origin story.

Because that’s the thing about barbed wire: It’s a physical object—you could hold it in your hand if it wasn’t so sharp—but it’s also an idea.

How the West was fenced

The American frontier was never actually empty. Native Americans have lived on the land for at least 15,000 years. The evidence is clear, from the Mesa Verde Dwellings in Colorado to the millions of indigenous people still living in the southwest today. But white settlers, unleashed on the landscape by Abraham Lincoln’s Homestead of Act of 1862, which gave each citizen the right to claim 160 acres of public land, certainly treated it that way. As they worked their way west, they sought to clear the land of its human and non-human inhabitants, and exert control over the dirt that remained. One of the most practical challenges these families faced was drawing boundaries—keeping people, crops, and cattle in (or out).

With too few trees to build wooden fences, and walls of prickly vegetation too slow to grow, some enterprising settlers began tinkering with wire. But there was one major problem: “[W]hen a wire fence was placed between a 1,000-pound Texas longhorn and a patch of lush green pasture, it proved to be something of a pushover,” writes George Pendel in his Atlas Obscura article on the barbed wire mecca of La Crosse, Kansas. That’s where the barbs came in. According to Atlas, the U.S. Patent Office processed more than 200 different patents for various types of “spiked fencing” between 1867 and 1874. The contraptions varied widely, from lines alternating spikes and wooden boards, to sheets of wood studded with spikes. But Lucien Smith is credited with making the first prototypes we might recognize as barbed wire, which he called “thorny wire.”

The trouble was that all of these products were made by hand. It wasn’t until 1874, when Illinois farmer Joseph Glidden emerged victorious from patent battle over a mechanically-produced fencing material that barbed wire could be made at scale. Glidden’s machine pulled two strands of wire tight around the barb, then wound the wires together around the regularly-spaced spikes. Just two years later, Glidden’s company was making 3 million pounds of the stuff each year, making Glidden a quick and sizable fortune. Other speculators won big on barbed wire, too. John Warne Gates, better known as “Bet-A-Million Gates,” went from selling the poky product to manufacturing “moonshine” (or unpatented) wire himself. His company was acquired by U.S. Steel, where barbed wire would make robber baron J.P. Morgan even richer.

Mass-production sent homesteaders on a fencing spree. Previously, the design podcast 99 Percent Invisible explains, the “law of open range” prevailed out west. As cowboys drove their cattle to sale, the herd could criss-cross the land, drinking water and grazing as they went. But barbed wire restricted cattle’s access to streams and rivers. And it was everywhere. By 1885, the entire Texas panhandle was already fenced, according to the Texas State Historical Association, creating a patchwork of privately-owned lands, each wrapped in a barbed wire bow. The effect on wildlife was quick and catastrophic: In a review article for the The Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Wayne Gard described “leathery longhorns… crazed by thirst.” Native Americans called barbed wire “devil’s rope”, because it ensnared wild buffalo. (Like cattle, they struggled to see the thin wire lines before they were wrapped up in it.) Trapped, they died of hunger or thirst, or succumbed from infection as their barbed wounds festered.

Humans weren’t exempt from barbed wire’s wrath. From the earliest days, it’s been marketed as a tool of oppression and control. “Companies promoting barbed wire fencing used imagery in their promotional materials that played on familiar prejudices of the day,” Rebecca Onion writes in her political history of barbed wire for Slate. “[F]armers and ranchers interested in buying knew that they could keep Native Americans, black people, children, beasts owned by others, and poor people out with the new invention.” It persists in prisons, concentration camps both historical and terribly contemporary, and border walls, which continue to threaten wildlife today).

Fencing’s future

Barbed wire’s biggest use hasn’t changed, though. Charlie Rugh is the vice president of sales and marketing for the San Antonio Steel Company. “The primary goal was to fence in cattle,” he says, but “it’s a lot more diverse now.” Specifically, people aren’t just fencing in cows, but horses, sheep, goats, llamas, alpacas, and even exotic animals like bison, elk, or deer. This has forced a big shift over the last 50 to 75 years, Rugh says, stimulating new innovations in an old industry.

SASCO, for example, sells fixed knot fences, which is barb-free but strong enough to hold up on widely-spaced posts; horse fence with tight 2-by-4 inch spacing to keep hooves from getting stuck; and, of course, five variations of classic barbed wire, which remains crucial, in Rugh’s words, for “keeping 1,500 pound animals off the highways and byways and motorways.”

These wires are more durable than ever, thanks to two big developments. First, in the 1980s, manufacturers began developing high-tensile barbed wire, Rugh says. They mix steel with a miniscule amount of carbon fiber for more flexibility, without compromising strength. By exposing polymers to high heat, scientists can forcibly crystallize carbon molecules, concentrating them at unusual densities, while keeping substances light.“You’re getting a wire that weighs half as much, but performs the same if not better,” Rugh says. And because it’s lighter, it’s also cheaper, making it more appealing to farmers who struggle to keep their agricultural operations profitable.

Then, in the early 2000s, Rugh says, the industry turned its focus to new methods for galvanizing the steel, the better to ward off rust. The best barbed wire is now coated in a mixture that’s 95 percent aluminium and 5 percent zinc. “That’s been used in utility wires, stranded cable, and things like that. And they’ve begun to transfer that to ag wire,” Rugh says. While conventional Class I barbed wire lasts seven to 10 years and the Class III galvanized products on the market can keep up to 20 or 30 years, the zinc/aluminum-coated cables could last on the order of 50 years, at least according to salt spray tests designed to see how these products stand up to the elements.

Despite its evolution in the American west, the biggest innovations in barbed wire are coming from other shores. “A lot of the fencing technology and improvements have always developed in Australia and in New Zealand,” Rugh says. “The North American market has lagged behind and been slower to adopt these new technologies.”

But barbed wire’s cultural resonance has persisted in the United States. There are barbed wire museums, competitions, even an Antique Barbed Wire Society. Mostly, though, it provides structural support to the myth of the wild West: an endless expanse for the taking, a dangerous template for conquest that’s been transposed from California to other countries, the internet, and even outer space.

In his 1949 post-war poem Memorial for the City, W.H. Auden used barbed wire as a recurrent motif—a symbol for borders, bureaucracy, and violence. “Barbed wire proclaims that you are kept out or kept in, and, when you resist, it rips you,” he wrote. “Other barriers weather, crumble, grow moss; wire merely rusts, and keeps its sting.” For many people, that’s the appeal.

Alaska is undoubtedly an area in which the issue of sustainable hospitality and travel matters. There are many reasons why visitors are focused on Alaskan family vacations. Do you think there is a recommended place to visit?

A Visit To Alaska

Often obtaining hometown press is more practical than meticulous catalog summaries. In accordance with conventional wisdom everyone will think this is worth reading given it relates to subjects people have proven to be interested in. Earlier this week another interesting entry got my attention and as a consequence all of us thought it should be reposted. One thing that stands out are pieces that cover all the problems readers have. I was told it is judged to be alright to discuss this notable description about ideas to think of if you are checking out Alaskan points of interest.
