THE HISTORY OF SIND.
CHAPTER I. THE CONQUEST OF SIND.
IN this appears the ordering of the Musulman armies from Bagdad to Sind, in the time of
the Khaliph, the son of Abdool Mulik, and the circumstances of the wars of the
Musulmans with the Kafirs; also the times of the governorship of the agents of Bunee
Oomaiyuh and Bunee Abbas, Khaliphs.
It is proper to give the greatest praise to the glory of the Maker, that He has made a
difference in the attributes and natures of men; and the intentions of the heart He has
made different in the hearts of kings: from some of these kings injury comes upon
themselves, and others send their good deeds in advance!
Men of understanding will know, that all historians are agreed that Sind was conquered in
the Khaliphat of the son of Abdool Mulik, by the exertions of Hujjaj the son of Yoosoof
Sukafee, as Ali the son of Hamed, the son of Aboo Bukur Koofee, wrote in the Chuk
Namé, which is a history of Sind. The writer of this book has omitted to include that
which was useless in that work; he takes out only that which is useful and necessary.

Bethesda Fountain
Bethesda Fountain
The Bethesda Fountain, the gorgeous focal point of the Bethesda Terrace, is one of the largest fountains in New York, measuring twenty-six feet high by ninety-six feet wide.
It is one of the most well known fountains in the world, and the statue at its center was the only sculpture to have been commissioned as a part of Central Park's original design.
This neoclassical sculpture, also known as Angel of the Waters, features an eight-foot bronze angel who stands above four small cherubim representing health, purity, temperance, and peace.
The angel herself carries a lily in one hand while the other remains outstretched, poised in the action of delivering a blessing on the water pouring from around her feet and into the basin at the bottom of the fountain. This is to commemorate the 1842 opening of the Croton Aqueduct, which supplied New York City with fresh water.
Angel of the Waters was designed by Emma Stebbins in 1868 and dedicated in 1873, at which point Stebbins became the first woman to receive commission for a major work of art in the city of New York. Stebbins linked the new, pure city water flowing from the fountain to the healing powers of the biblical pool, and quoted John 5:2-4 at the statue's dedication, saying "Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called... Bethesda... whoever then first after the troubling of the waters stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had."

منفي روين جي آسيب کان آزاد ڪيئن ٿجي؟
شبنم گل
صُبح جو گهڻي ڀاڱي گهرن ۾ ٽي وي هلندي رهي ٿي. آفيس لاءِ نِڪرڻ وارا گهڻا ڪم هڪ وقت ۾ ڪندا آهن. نيرن سان گڏ اخبار به پڙهبي آهي ۽ گڏو گڏ ٽي ويءَ تي به نظر هوندي آهي. بيگم صاحبه جي فرمائشي فهرست سان گڏ اڻ کُٽ هدايتون پڻ. ذهن مڪمل طور تي ڪنهن هڪ پاسي نه هوندو آهي. ڪجهه ڏينهن جي ڳالهه آهي مون صُبح جو سوير سوچيو ٽي وي نه کولجي ته بهتر ٿيندو. صُبح سمئي جي خاموشي ۽ سڪون سان گذاريل پَلَ طاقت جي گوريءَ جيان ٿين ٿا. جِهرڪين ۽ پکين جون ٻوليون ڪَنن ۾ رسُ گهولڻ لڳيون. نه ته ٽي وي جي گوڙ ۾ انسان فطري آواز ٻڌڻ کان محروم ٿيو وڃي. خبرن ۾ هوندو به ڇا آهي سواءِ سياسي ڇڪتاڻ، اينڪرز جون

Plitvice Lakes National Park
Plitvice Lakes National Park
Within the boundaries of this heavily forested national park, 16 crystalline lakes tumble into each other via a series of waterfalls and cascades. The mineral-rich waters carve through the rock, depositing tufa in continually changing formations. Clouds of butterflies drift above the 18km of wooden footbridges and pathways that snake around the edges and across the rumbling water. It takes upwards of six hours to explore the lakes on foot, or you can slice two hours off by taking advantage of the park's free boats and buses (departing every 30 minutes from April to October). From Entrance 2, catch the bus to the top of the upper lakes and wander back down to the shore of 4km-long Kozjak, the park's largest lake. A boat will whisk you from here to the lower lakes, where the circuit culminates in the aptly named Veliki Slap, the tallest waterfall in Croatia (78m). The path then climbs steeply (offering great views and photo opportunities) to a bus stop, where you can grab a lift back to Entrance 2. If you've got limited time, the upper lake section can be completed in two hours. The lower section takes about three, although it's best to start with the bus ride and end with the boat to save yourself a climb. Swimming is not permitted in any of the lakes.
