Easter Island appears regularly at the scientific papers, because of its particular characteristics as an extremely isolated small world, and the huge potential it has to study its colonization, the rise and the demise of its native population and its ecology. For me it is a special pleasure to write about it, because I was a visitor of Easter Island and am still impressed about what I saw and learned there.

A esto se le llama presión sistólica. Cuando su corazón está en reposo entre un latido y otro, la presión sanguínea disminuye. A esto se le llama la presión diastólica.

Seljalandsfoss waterfall
Iceland
https://youtu.be/ADTzNUz74gI
Seljalandsfoss waterfall is one of the most impressive
waterfalls in Iceland. In an area packed with phenomenal
sights—from glaciers to black sand beaches—it's up
there with the most thrilling. You'll see why for yourself
when you visit.
Explore this 1.2-mile out-and-back trail near Þórsmerkurvegur, Southern.
Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 35 min to
complete. This is a popular trail for birding, hiking, and running, but you
can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day.
The main reason is the fact that you can see it from behind (there is a deep depression in the
rock); this is what makes Seljalandsfoss so special and why the visit is unique and different from
other places in Iceland.
plitvice lakes national park
Croatia
https://youtu.be/MccNQRMiiV4
The waters flowing over the limestone and chalk have,
over thousands of years, deposited travertine barriers,
creating natural dams which in turn have created a series
of beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls. These geological
processes continue today.
These beautiful lakes and the area surrounding them were declared a
national park back in April of 1949 when nature protection measures were
established. A modern road connection to Plitvice Lakes was constructed
in the 1960s, which led to a significant increase in visitors and traffic to the
national park
The extension of the dynamic, constantly evolving lake system, the proportion of the tufa
barriers, jointly with the numerous dynamic waterfalls and clear water courses and the
expression of colours, make Plitvice Lakes National Park an aesthetically outstanding natural
spectacle of global importance.

Pilgrimage destination of different religions(India & World)cidroypaes
A pilgrimage is a journey or search of moral or spiritual significance. Typically, it is a journey to a shrine or other location of importance to a person's beliefs and faith, although sometimes it can be a metaphorical journey into someone's own beliefs. Many religions attach spiritual importance to particular places: the place of birth or death of founders or saints, or to the place of their "calling" or spiritual awakening, or of their connection (visual or verbal) with the divine, to locations where miracles were performed or witnessed, or locations where a deity is said to live or be "housed", or any site that is seen to have special spiritual powers. Such sites may be commemorated with shrines or temples that devotees are encouraged to visit for their own spiritual benefit: to be healed or have questions answered or to achieve some other spiritual benefit. A person who makes such a journey is called a pilgrim. As a common human experience, pilgrimage has been proposed as a Jungian archetype by Wallace Clift and Jean Dalby Clift.
The Holy Land acts as a focal point for the pilgrimages of the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. According to a Stockholm University study in 2011, these pilgrims visit the Holy Land to touch and see physical manifestations of their faith, confirm their beliefs in the holy context with collective excitation, and connect personally to the Holy Land.
Kumbh mela (Celebrated once in 144 years) Indiacidroypaes
Kumbh Mela or Kumbha Mela , inscribed on the UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, is a mass Hindu pilgrimage of faith in which Hindus gather to bathe in a sacred or holy river. Traditionally, four fairs are widely recognized as the Kumbh Melas: the Haridwar Kumbh Mela, the Allahabad Kumbh Mela, the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Simhastha, and Ujjain Simhastha. These four fairs are held periodically at one of the following places by rotation: Haridwar, Allahabad (Prayaga), Nashik district (Nashik and Trimbak), and Ujjain. The main festival site is located on the banks of a river: the Ganges (Ganga) at Haridwar; the confluence (Sangam) of the Ganges and the Yamuna and the invisible Sarasvati at Allahabad; the Godavari at Nashik; and the Shipra at Ujjain. Bathing in these rivers is thought to cleanse a person of all the sins.
At any given place, the Kumbh Mela is held once in 12 years. There is a difference of around 3 years between the Kumbh Melas at Haridwar and Nashik; the fairs at Nashik and Ujjain are celebrated in the same year or one year apart. The exact date is determined, as per Vikram Samvat calendar and the principles of Jyotisha, according to a combination of zodiac positions of the Jupiter, the Sun and the Moon. At Nashik and Ujjain, the Mela may be held while a planet is in Leo (Simha in Hindu astrology); in this case, it is also known as Simhastha. At Haridwar and Allahabad, an Ardha ("Half") Kumbh Mela is held every sixth year; a Maha ("Great") Kumbh Mela occurs after 144 years.

A mature PPP framework is one of the most useful tools with the Governments to facilitate private investment into infrastructure.PPPs are long term contracts between the Government (sponsoring authority) and a private company that may typically provide for financing, construction, operation, and maintenance under a single firm or a consortium. It is generally advised to adopt a suitable PPP framework in case of large and complex projects that can justify the associated transaction and monitoring costs and thus provide value for money considering the project’s life-cycle cost to the Government.

Bed types in Hospitality industry (Hotels/Resort)cidroypaes
A bed is a piece of furniture which is used as a place to sleep or relax.[1][2]
Most modern beds consist of a soft, cushioned mattress on a bed frame, with the mattress resting either on a solid base, often wood slats, or a sprung base. Many beds include a box spring inner-sprung base, a large mattress-sized box containing wood and springs that provide additional support and suspension for the mattress. Beds are available in many sizes, ranging from infant-sized bassinets and cribs, small beds for a single child or adult, to large queen and king-size beds designed for two adults. While most beds are single mattresses on a fixed frame, there are other varieties, such as the murphy bed, which folds into a wall, the sofa bed, which folds out of a sofa, and the bunk bed, which provides two mattresses on two tiers. Temporary beds include the inflatable air mattress and the folding camp cot. Some beds contain neither a padded mattress nor a bed frame, such as the hammock.
Beds may have a headboard for resting against, with others also having side rails and footboards (or "footers"). "Headboard only" beds may incorporate a "dust ruffle", "bed skirt", or "valance sheet" to hide the bed frame. To support the head, a pillow made of a soft, padded material is usually placed on the top of the mattress. Some form of covering blanket is often used to insulate the sleeper, often bed sheets, a quilt, or a duvet, collectively referred to as bedding. Bedding is the removable non-furniture portion of a bed, which enables these components to be washed or aired out.
Baggage handling in Airports (sortation)cidroypaes
A baggage handling system (BHS) is a type of conveyor system installed in airports that transports checked luggage from ticket counters to areas where the bags can be loaded onto airplanes. A BHS also transports checked baggage coming from airplanes to baggage claims or to an area where the bag can be loaded onto another airplane.
Although the primary function of a BHS is the transportation of bags, a typical BHS will serve other functions involved in making sure that a bag gets to the correct location in the airport. The process of identifying a bag, and the information associated with it, to make a decision on where the bag should be directed within the system is known as sortation.
The airport apron is the area of an airport where aircraft are parked, unloaded or loaded, refueled, or boarded. Although the use of the apron is covered by regulations, such as lighting on vehicles, it is typically more accessible to users than the runway or taxiway.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Top 10 tourists attractions of chile
1.
2. One of the most isolated islands on Earth,
Easter Island is located in the southeastern
Pacific Ocean. Officially a territory of Chile, it
lies thousands of miles off the coast roughly
halfway to Tahiti. The island is famous for its
887 extant monumental statues, called moai,
created by the early Rapanui people centuries
ago. Not surprisingly, the well-publicized moai
have overshadowed the island’s other tourist
attractions. But Easter Island also offers some
great diving and surfing as well as two
volcanic craters and several sandy beaches
3.
4. Lauca National Park is located in Chile’s far
north, in the Andean range and is one of the
top tourist attractions in Chile. The most
spectacular feature in Lauca is the beautiful
Lago Chungará, one of the world’s highest
lakes. Looming over it is the impossibly perfect
cone of Volcán Parinacota, a dormant volcano
with a twin brother, Volcán Pomerape, just
across the border with Bolivia
5.
6. Pucón is a small touristy town in the middle of
the southern Lake District. The unrivaled
location by a beautiful lake and imposing
volcano makes it one of the most popular
tourist attractions in Chile. Pucón offers a
variety of sports and recreational activities
including water skiing, snow skiing, white
water rafting and kayaking, horseback riding,
natural hot springs and climbing the Villarrica
volcano
7.
8. Torres del Paine is a national park in the
Extreme South region of Patagonian Chile and
features mountains, lakes and glaciers. The
centerpiece of the park are the three Towers of
Paine, three spectacular granite peaks shaped
by the forces of glacial ice. The highest peak is
about 2,500 meters (8200 feet).
9.
10. Valle de la Luna is located in the Atacama
Desert. This breathtaking desert landscape is
the result of centuries of winds and floods on
the sand and stone of the region. The large
sand dunes and stone formations mimic the
surface of the moon, giving the region its name,
which translates to “Valley of the Moon
11.
12. Located within the Laguna San Rafael National
Park, the San Rafael Glacier is a giant glacier
that calves into the Laguna San Rafael. The
glacier is accessible only by boat or plane. The
journey by boat is a spectacle in itself, passing
through the narrow channels of the isolated
Aisén region. What you can see from the boat
is in fact just the end of the glacier’s, which
extends some 15km (9 miles) from its source
13.
14. Located on the Pacific coast of the central
region of Chile, Valparaíso is known for its
brightly colored houses, bohemian culture and
beautiful seaside views. Built upon dozens of
steep hillsides overlooking the Pacific Ocean,
Valparaíso boasts a labyrinth of streets and
cobblestone alleyways, embodying a rich
architectural and cultural legacy
15.
16. The Chiloe archipelago is an isolated group of
islands, best known for a number of unique
churches that boast a particular architectural
style called Chilota. This style is a very unique
combination of aboriginal and European Jesuit
influence, and was reflected in more than a
hundred wooden churches in these islands that
were created in the seventeenth century. The
churches fell into disrepair, but almost two
dozen restored sites are now available to tour,
and serve as a gorgeous representation of this
unique mestizo style combination
17.
18. The largest penguin colonies in southern Chile,
Los Pingüinos Natural Monument is home to
more than 120,000 Magellanic penguins.
Located on the small Magdalena Island, just
one square kilometer and topped by a pretty
red lighthouse, it lies 35km (22 miles) northeast
of Punta Arenas. In September or October each
year, the birds migrate back here and find their
mate. By the end of March the penguins have
returned to sea again
19.
20. Cerro San Cristóbal is a hill in northern
Santiago with a beautiful view over the city
and, on a clear day, the Andes. At the peak,
there is a church and a 22 meter (72 feet) statue
of the Virgin Mary. The summit can be reached
by cable car or a long hike. Cerro San Cristóbal
houses the Parque Metropolitano, Santiago’s
largest public park. In the park there is also a
botanical garden, zoo and two swimming pools
