HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 

As 2016 is coming to a grand close, it's time to unravel the new year, 2017. It's a grand time for making our new year resolutions. Forgetting the past, we are here for a fresh start. The first New Year’s celebration dates back 4,000 years. Julius Caesar, the emperor of Rome, was the first to declare January 1 a national holiday. He named the month after Janus, the Roman god of doors and gates. Janus had two faces, one looking forward and one looking back. Caesar felt that a month named after this god would be fitting. Let us refresh ourselves for a new beginning with joy and peace abounding. A very Happy New Year to all on behalf of the news team!!! Cheers!!!

Here's something of interest about New Year...

UNDERRATED WORLD OF SHICHENG, CHINA

A maze of white temples, memorial arches, paved roads, and houses... hidden 130 feet underwater: this is China's real-life Atlantis. The so-called Lion City, tucked in a lake between the Five Lion Mountain, was once Shi Cheng - the centre of politics and economics in the eastern province of Zhejiang. But in 1959, the Chinese government decided a new hydroelectric power station was required - so built a man-made lake. Erecting a dam, the historical metropolis was slowly filled with water until it was completely submerged by the turquoise-blue mass now referred to as Qiandao Lake. Depending on where on the lake bottom it is, the city is between 85 and 131 feet underwater.
