Kashmir---paradise on Earth

  • I want to mention that Kashmir mountainous state is considered "paradise on Earth" because of its extreme and magical beauty so therefore please provide any excellent and best photos of Kashmir state so that I should see the beauty of Kashmir state(my favourite place) also called the 'wonder of Himalaya mountains'.


  • Are you referring to Kashmir in India, or Kashmir in Pakistan?

  • Livioflores rsearcher thanks for your above answer but you have provided above only the photos of Srinagar valley, Gulmarg valley, Phalagam valley, Sonamarg valley so therefore I also want to know if the photos of "central valley region" of Kashmir state is also available in the internet then please also provide some of those photos because the real beauty of Kashmir state exists in its central valley region consisting of hundreds of valleys and please note that central valley region of Kashmir state contains the "most magnificient scenary and glittering beauty of the planet" and Livioflores researcher thanks for that help from Shoaib.


  • Hi shoaib!! I am not clear about what region comprises the "central valley region" of Kashmir state, so it would be helpful to me if you can tell me what cities, lakes, mountains and/or ranges are you interested in. According to my research indian Kashmir includes three main regions: Kashmir Valley (Srinagar area) Jammu (Jammu area) Ladakh (Ladakh range, Leh area) So my first guess was Ladakh region; to confirm if I am right please take a look to the following map and images: Location Map: http://www.project-himalaya.com/graphics/kashmir-map.jpg Ladakh map: (click on highlighted places to see a descriptions a images) http://www.jktourism.org/cities/ladakh/map.htm "Images of Ladakh": http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nmclennan/ "Ladakh - Photo Gallery": http://gallery.funonthenet.in/Places-In-India/ladakh/ Let me know if I am in the right direction. Thank you for your patience. livioflores-ga


  • Livioflores rseasrcher in response to your above clarification please note that I had read in a particular website of Kashmir of Pakistani company and that Pakistani company deals "only" for the protection and welfare of the natural environment of the whole Kashmir state so as to preserve the natural environment of whole Kashmir state and in the website address of that Pakistani company it was written that "Kashmir consists of hundreds of valleys(and most of those hundreds of valleys are located in the central valley region of Kashmir state) and those hundreds of valleys are locked around by high mountains covered with snow and it was written in that website that the beauty of those hundreds of valleys or Kashmir state FAR EXCEEDS THE EXPECTATIONS of any person and everything that has been written by any Man to praise the beauty of Kashmir state is 'smaller' compared to the beauty of Kashmir state OR in other words the beauty of Kashmir state is beyond the imagination of any person but I want to mention that I have "forgotten" the website address of the above mentioned Pakistani company so therefore Livioflores researcher please do some research and provide to me the website address of the above mentioned Pakistani company so that I should be able to provide to you the answer of my above mentioned clarification and Livioflores researcher great thanks for that help from Shoaib and I am looking forward to hearing from you for above purpose.


  • Livioflores researcher I want to mention that if possible for you then please take a little of your time and provide to me the answer of my Question ID: 780012 for its answer and the price of that question ID is US$ 10 and its very simple question ID and Livioflores researcher great thanks for that help from Shoaib.


  • Hi again shoaib!! Well, I did the additional research requested by you and found only one page that matches with your descriptions, the page is from a claimed "non-political environmental organization dedicated to the protection and preservation of the Himalayan region of the formerly independent state of Jammu & Kashmir (generally referred to as "Kashmir"), which is currently divided and disputed between India, Pakistan, and China." This organization is not "pakistani" but they appear to be pro-independentist (I could be wrong on this) so they could be considered by indians as pro-pakistanis. The name of the organization is K.E.W.A. or the Kashmir Environmental Watch Association: http://www.kewa.org Here are some words from them about Kashmir: "The mission of K.E.W.A. is primarily two-fold. First, to increase awareness of the environment by serving as a watch organization over the conditions of the environment of Jammu & Kashmir. Second, to take action to preserve and protect the environment by working as a catalyst for an indigenous environmental movement. K.E.W.A. is dedicated to the preservation and protection of all aspects of the environment of Jammu & Kashmir ..." "Intro to KEWA": http://www.kewa.org/intro.html "Consisting of hundreds of picturesque valleys connected by high mountain passes and the rivers and streams which have carved out these valleys, Jammu & Kashmir lies surrounded by a series of mountain ranges. Jammu & Kashmir is the meeting place of the Himalayan, Karakoram, Ladakh, Hindu Kush, and Pir Panjal mountain ranges. ... Since ancient times Jammu & Kashmir has been renowned for its natural beauty and gentle people. Possessing some of the highest and most beautiful mountain peaks, massive glaciers, blue lakes, rivers, forests, and meadows, Jammu and Kashmir has been likened to a paradise on earth. For thousands of years, this beautiful land with its unique Eco-systems, has been home to a diverse wildlife. From the classical Persian and Tibetan poets to the rock lyrics of Led Zepellin, Jammu & Kashmir's startling beauty has been celebrated by artists and writers the world over. But Jammu & Kashmir far exceeds the expectations and nothing that has been said about it quite prepares one for the majesty of this mountain paradise ..." From "Jammu & Kashmir: where Heaven meets Earth": You will find very nice small pictures here. http://www.kewa.org/heaven.html Unfortunately some of the links of the site are dead links of old and now unavailable pages. To see some of them you need to use the WayBackMachine but the images are mostly missed; for example I used this tool to see the "Announcement of formation of Kashmir Environmental Watch Association (KEWA)" press release on April 10, 1998: http://web.archive.org/web/20010425141110/http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Canopy/3572/p2.html If you find a dead link and want to see if the page is archived, just go to "Internet Archive: Wayback Machine": http://www.archive.org/web/web.php You need to type the link address in the Wayback Machine search box and click the "Take me Back" button. I hope you can enjoy the pictures and readings of this site. Best regards, livioflores-ga


  • Livioflores researcher you have provided the website address of : www.kewa.org and Livioflores researcher please note that you are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for providing the above mentioned website address in response to my above clarification and Livioflores researcher please note that you have yourself provided all of the answer in your above clarification in response to my above clarification and Livioflores researcher I also want to mention that following information is also provided at its following website address of : http://www.kewa.org/heaven.html that "Jammu & Kashmir (commonly referred to as "Kashmir") is situated in one of the most captivating and tumultuous geographical regions of the world. Jammu & Kashmir is centrally located between Pakistan, India, Tibet, China, and Afghanistan", so therefore Livioflores researcher it means that ALL of my above mentioned information about beauty of Kashmir was absolutely right that "Kashmir consists of hundreds of valleys(and most of those hundreds of valleys are located in the central valley region of Kashmir state) and those hundreds of valleys are locked around by high mountains covered with snow and it was written in that website that the beauty of those hundreds of valleys or Kashmir state FAR EXCEEDS THE EXPECTATIONS of any person and everything that has been written by any Man to praise the beauty of Kashmir state is 'smaller' compared to the beauty of Kashmir state OR in other words the beauty of Kashmir state is beyond the imagination of any person" AND I also want to mention that I had also read in another website address that "central valley region of Kashmir state contains the most magnificient scenary and glittering beauty of the planet" and I shall also provide to you that website address for confirmation of my above information so therefore Lvioflores researcher it means that ALL of my above information about the beauty of Kashmir state is absolutely perfect so therefore Livioflores researcher please provide "response or answer" of my above clarification and great thanks for that help and I am looking forward to hearing from you for that.


  • Livioflores reearcher you have also provided above the information about "Internet Archive: Wayback Machine": http://www.archive.org/web/web.php You need to type the link address in the Wayback Machine search box and click the "Take me Back" button", so therefore Livioflores researcher I want to know that if I type the website address of any "previous actively working website address(please note that website is now not working actively in the internet)" in the internet archive wayback machine search box and then I click "take me back button" in it then I want to know that I shall ALSO be able to see the 'MEMBERS AREA PHOTOS' of that previous actively working website OR I would have to AGAIN PURCHASE the the membership of the "HOST SERVER" of that previous actively working website for example Netverifier Inc company provides the "HOSTING SERVICE" of any website in its "members area" so that paid customers can see the photos of any of its website in its members area so therefore I want to mention that if I purchase the membership of the above mentioned Netverifier Inc company to see the 'MEMBERS AREA PHOTOS' of that previous actively working website "THROUGH" : "Internet Archive: Wayback Machine": http://www.archive.org/web/web.php then in this case I shall be able to view or see the 'ALL MEMBERS AREA PHOTOS' of that previous actively working website address according to the above mentioned procedure ?? Livioflores researcher please provide "response or answer" of my above question and great thanks for that help from Shoaib and I am looking forward to hearing from you for that purpose.


  • Hi!! This last request is out of the scope of the original question but I will try to answer it. In general the answer of this is not always. The WayBackMachine has its limitations, you can read about them on its FAQ page: http://www.archive.org/about/faqs.php#The_Wayback_Machine "Why isn't the site I'm looking for in the archive? Some sites may not be included because the automated crawlers were unaware of their existence at the time of the crawl. It's also possible that some sites were not archived because they were password protected, blocked by robots.txt, or otherwise inaccessible to our automated systems. Siteowners might have also requested that their sites be excluded from the Wayback Machine. When this has occurred, you will see a "blocked site error" message. When a site is excluded because of robots.txt you will see a "robots.txt query exclusion error" message." "How do you archive dynamic pages? There are many different kinds of dynamic pages, some of which are easily stored in an archive and some of which fall apart completely. When a dynamic page renders standard html, the archive works beautifully. When a dynamic page contains forms, JavaScript, or other elements that require interaction with the originating host, the archive will not contain the original site's functionality." "Why are some sites harder to archive than others? If you look at our collection of archived sites, you will find some broken pages, missing graphics, and some sites that aren't archived at all. Here are some things that make it difficult to archive a web site: Robots.txt -- We respect robot exclusion headers. Javascript -- Javascript elements are often hard to archive, but especially if they generate links without having the full name in the page. Plus, if javascript needs to contact the originating server in order to work, it will fail when archived. Server side image maps -- Like any functionality on the web, if it needs to contact the originating server in order to work, it will fail when archived. Unknown sites -- The archive contains crawls of the Web completed by Alexa Internet. If Alexa doesn't know about your site, it won't be archived. Use the Alexa Toolbar (available at www.alexa.com), and it will know about your page. Or you can visit Alexa's Archive Your Site page at http://pages.alexa.com/help/webmasters/index.html#crawl_site. Orphan pages -- If there are no links to your pages, the robot won't find it (the robots don't enter queries in search boxes.) As a general rule of thumb, simple html is the easiest to archive." "Do you collect all the sites on the Web? No, we collect only publicly accessible Web pages. We do not archive pages that require a password to access, pages tagged for "robot exclusion" by their owners, pages that are only accessible when a person types into and sends a form, or pages on secure servers. If a site owner properly requests removal of a Web site through http://www.archive.org/about/exclude.php, we will exclude that site from the Wayback Machine." Note that in many cases the archived page misses the images and download links, and in other cases some of its functionalities also. The best way to get an answer in your particular case is searching the archive for the page you want to see and see what happens. Hope this helps. Regards, livioflores-ga


  • Livioflores researchr thanks for your above help but Livioflores researcher please note that you have still 'not' provided the response or answer of my above clarification about the beauty of Kashmir state and please also note that the answers of ALL of my above statements is provided at the following website address of : http://www.kewa.org/heaven.html so therefore Livioflores researcher please provide 'response or answer' of my above statement and great thanks for that help and I am looking forwrd to hearing from you for above purpose ??


  • Livioflores researcher please note that I had gone through internet archive way back machine and I typed that specific website address in it and then I clicked its 'take me back button' and I had received the 'joining webpage of the Netverifier Inc. company' so as to gain access to the members area of that specific website previously actively listed in that Netverifier Inc. HOST company AND I also want to mention that I did "NOT" received "blocked error message" by following above procedure because that specific website is protected by paid password for its paid members for viewing members area photos of that specific website so therefore Livioflores researcher it means that I can gain access to the members area of that specific website so as to see the "members area photos" of that specific website and Livioflores researcher please provide 'response or answer' of my above statement and great thanks for that help from Shoaib.


  • Dear shoaib: This thread is right now plenty of requests for a clarification, some of them are not related to the original question other yes, so I am a little confused. What I need at this point is to know if you have a request regarding the original question and in the affirmative, can you gently repost it here in order to give you what you need? Thank you. Sincerely, livioflores-ga


  • Livioflores researcher please note that I have given additional tip of US$ 2 and rating of ***** to your above answer so therefore Livioflores researcher please take a little of your time and provide to me response of my above very simple clarifications for its answer and thanks and best regards from Shoaib for that help.


  • Livioflores researcher please note that I need the 'answer or response' of my last two clarifications and best regards from Shoaib.


  • Hi shoaib!! The way you can navigate a page in the WayBackMachine is mostly a matter of luck, you can or cannot gain access to some or other areas of archived sites, this depends on how the bot crawled that site; the most common situation, for former password protected areas, is that you cannot gain access into them as the FAQs page says. Let me say you again that the only way to prove that is by trying to get access to such pages throug the WayBackMachine. My guess is that you cannot, my suggestion: try. Regarding Kashmir, you are right; this is one of the most beautiful places on the world due the variety of different landscapes and the exuberant manifestation of the Earth forces showed by magnificient valleys, mountains, glaciers and lakes. You will find one more confirmation on the following article: 'Brief History about Kashmir': http://www.angelfire.com/nd/gulmarg/kashinfo.html Regards, livioflores-ga


  • Livioflores researcher thanks for your above help but I also want to know that if the website owner places or submits his website in the 'internet archive way back machine' then in this case I want to know that is there any cost associated for placing or submitting the website in the internet archive way back machine OR placing or submitting the website in the internet archive way back machine is FREE ?? Livioflores researcher thanks for that help and best regards from Shoaib.


  • Hi!! This is a free service that works in an automated fashion, that is you cannot submit a site directly, to include a site in the archive read the following at the FAQs' page: "How can I get my site included in the Wayback Machine? Alexa Internet has been crawling the web since 1996, which has resulted in a massive archive. If you have a web site, and you would like to ensure that it is saved for posterity in the Internet Archive, and you've searched wayback and found no results, you can visit the Alexa's "Webmasters" page at http://pages.alexa.com/help/webmasters/index.html#crawl_site. -Method 2: if you have the Alexa tool bar installed, just visit a site. -Method 3: while visiting a site, use the 'show related links' in Internet Explorer, which uses the Alexa service. Sites are usually crawled within 24 hours and no more than 48. Right now there is a 6-12 month lag between the date a site is crawled and the date it appears in the Wayback Machine. " http://www.archive.org/about/faqs.php Regards, livioflores-ga


  • Livioflores researcher please note that at the following website address of : http://www.kewa.org/heaven.html it is written that Kashmir state consists of "hundreds of valleys" so therefore for the answer of that question Livioflores researcher I have posted another Question ID: 782314 for its answer so therefore Livioflores researcher if possible for you then please provide its answer and thanks for that help from Shoaib Sarfraz and best regards from Shoaib.


  • I researched for such question but I was not able to find such map, affortunately there are other researchers and commenters taking a look to your new question.


  • Livioflores resercher I also need the response of my below mentioned simple clarification. Livioflores researcher I want to mention that if the website of for example any loan brokerage company is not working actively in the internet and the management of the website of that loan brokerage company has placed its website in the internet archive way back machine and that loan brokerage company has also been "updating" its website regularly after placing its website in the internet archive way back machine then in this case it means that loan brokerage company is "still ACTIVELY operating" its loan brokerage business OR it means that loan brokerage company is still NOT operating its loan brokerage business ?? Livioflores researcher great thanks for that help from Shoaib and I am looking forward to hearing from you for above purpose.


  • Your statement is not necessarily true. Remember that there is an average delay of about six months from the time a page is crawled to the time the page is available on the archive. You can only deduce that the site owner was active at the last crawl time (the last update time shown in its archive page). To confirm if the company is still operating just search for its last update contact details archived page and try to contact them this way. Regards, livioflores-ga
