Where to have best Craft Beer in California

January 13, 20211492 Views

With more than 1,000 breweries statewide, it’s safe to say that the craft beer movement in California is officially booming. From the state’s northernmost stands of coast redwoods, south to the sun-scorched Mojave Desert, the craft beer movement has reached every corner of the Golden State. The phenomenon didn’t happen overnight. Anchor Brewing (San Francisco) and Sierra Nevada (Chico) kicked things into gear in the 70s and 80s, and now you’ll find vibrant beer scenes in San Diego, Orange County, Sonoma County, Sacramento, and elsewhere. The sunny south becomes a magnet for craft beers The craft brewery explosion came pretty early to San Diego, and the San Diego Brewers Guild now has more than 130 breweries. The city was named the “Top Beer Town” in America by Men’s Journal, and...

The ambitious Great Green Wall for the Sahel and Sahara Initiative (GGW) has received at least 10 billion US Dollars in new funding. The funding will fast track efforts to restore degrading land, save biological diversity as well as create green jobs and build resilience of the Sahelian people. Emmanuel Macron, President of France, made the announcement at the just concluded One Planet Summit for Biodiversity co-organized by France, the United Nations and World Bank. The GGW snakes along the southern margin of Africa’s Sahara Desert running from the Atlantic coast to the Red Sea, all the way from Senegal in the West to Djibouti in the East.

The environmental transformation happening in the Arctic is key to understanding the potential global impacts of climate change, an Alaska Native leader and a polar explorer told the Reuters Next conference on Monday. With climate change warming the Arctic twice as fast as the overall planet, newly possible commercial activities have also raised questions about responsibility and risk at the top of the world, an insurance expert said.

The head of a global travel organisation have opposed making COVID-19 vaccinations a requirement for travellers in the fight against the pandemic, despite scepticism about reaching herd immunity this year. Several health experts said during the Reuters Next conference that the mass roll-out of coronavirus vaccines would not result in enough people having immunity to be able to effectively stop COVID-19 from spreading.

January 12, 20211018 Views

The International Air Transport Association (IATA), the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA), Airports Council International Latin America and the Caribbean (ACI-LAC) and the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO), have jointly expressed their deep concerns about the new measures and restrictions imposed on air travel across Latin America and the Caribbean. In a call to governments they have asked for the implementation and adherence to internationally agreed measures which permit safe air travel during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rolling back the progress made on restoring air connectivity in 2020 will have an adverse effect on the socio-economic recovery in the region, placing millions of jobs at risk. 2021 began as a promising and hopeful year ...

Thailand’s Tourism Minister said on Monday he had proposed a plan to allow foreigners to quarantine in some of the country’s many golf resorts to boost the ailing tourism sector during the coronavirus pandemic. “We are discussing with the Public Health Ministry and the country’s coronavirus taskforce to offer hotel and golf quarantine for tourists with medical certificates,” Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn told reporters. Foreign tourists would be able to spend the two-week quarantine period at a specified resort and move around in the hotel area and also play golf, he said, rather than just isolating in their rooms. !function(e,t,c,a){if(!e.fwn&&(a="fwn_script",n=e.fwn=function(){ n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments) },e._fwn|...

पहली नजर में सांभर झील का विस्तार किसी दूसरे ग्रह का इलाका सा लगता है। दूर तक छिछला पानी, उसमें सफेद नमक के ढेर, पानी में डूबती-निकलती रेल पटरियां जो नमक से लगे जंग के कारण बाबा आदम के जमाने की लगती हैं और उस पानी में जहां-तहां बैठे प्रवासी परिंदे। कोई हैरत की बात नहीं कि बॉलीवुड की मशहूर फिल्म पीके में आमिर खान के दूसरे ग्रह से धरती पर अवतरित होने वाले दृश्य को यहां फिल्माया गया था। हालांकि सांभर झील की खूबसूरती और अहमियत, दोनों ही उससे कहीं ज्यादा हैं। सांभर झील में फ्लेमिंगो राजस्थान में अजमेर, जयपुर और नागौर के बीच करीब 230 वर्ग किमी इलाके में फैली भारत की सबसे बड़ी खारे पानी की झील सांभर को आमतौर पर नमक उत्पादन के लिए ही जाना जाता रहा है। हालांकि बर्फ के मैदानों सा अहसास कराते इसके नमक के भंडार और पानी पर कई हजारों की तादाद में दिखने वाले गुलाबी फ्लेमिंगो पक्षी इसे राजस्थान के ...

दक्षिण भारत के कलात्मक इतिहास में पल्लवों की वास्तु व मूर्तिकला का अत्यंत गौरवपूर्ण स्थान है। इनकी गुफाएं, मंदिर और स्थापत्य भारतीय कला में एक नए अध्याय का सृजन करते हैं। धवल हिमालय से सुदुर दक्षिण में लेकिन नीले समुद्र से थोड़ा उत्तर का भू-प्रदेश अपने अंदर द्रविड़ सभ्यता व संस्कृति की विरासत को बचा कर रख पाने में सफल रहा है। कावेरी की गोद में पली द्रविड सभ्यता का केंद्र ‘तमिलकम प्रदेश’ यानि आज का तमिलनाडु अपने साथ इंसानी मेहनत और उसकी साकार हुई अनूठी कल्पना को सहेजे हुए है, जो पुरातन युग में पत्थरों को तराश कर बनाए गए मंदिरों के रूप में मौजूद हैं। शिल्पियों के औजारों से निकलने वाले अनवरत संगीत के दौर में इंसान की कल्पना को यथार्थ की जमीन मिली और ललित कला की एक खास शैली ने जन्म लिया। सामूहिक श्रम से उपजी इस शैली को द्रविड़ शैली का नाम दिया गया। दक्षिण भारत के पूर्वी भाग मे...
