Posted on by

Festivals and events like these are known throughout the world. It is also known to be family oriented, keeps the family bonded and creates interpersonal relationships. These kinds of events include small local events, traditional festivals that can be traced way back and major international festivals which bring kites and kite fliers from overseas to display their unique art kites and show their cultural designs and demonstrate the latest techniques in flying complex kites today.

In Asian countries, kite flying is a very popular event, especially when the festival houses a kite fight. Kite fighting are flying kites which participants try to snag each others kites and try to cut down each other down. These fighter kites are usually small and flat; they are usually diamond-shaped and are made of paper and bamboo, or any other similar materials that are light and well-built for such kind of game. You might ask, why paper and bamboo? Kites should pretty much be light and since it is played up in the sky, it is always possible for the kite line to be entangled with others kite lines or even in electrical wires. This is why kite fliers use materials that are easy to find and cheaper than silk and fiberglass. Though there are still avid fliers’ that use silk and more expensive kinds of materials, these are played in wide plains and are especially played during festivals and kite events.

In Afghanistan, kite fighting is also known as Gudiparan Bazi. Some kite fighters pass their strings through powders with broken glasses that and crushed into small pieces and glue to ensure that their lines are very abrasive and can severe the opponents strings easier. These abrasive strings are really dangerous and can always injure people as well. This is evident when Taliban rule in Afghanistan kite fliers was banned with other various recreations due to such dangerous acts by some kite fliers that use these tactics to win in kite fighting events.

Rv Covers Protect Your Recreational Vehicle For 339 Days Each Year

Posted on by

Vacations in a recreational vehicle (RV) have several advantages over other kinds of vacations. RV vacations are flexible and convenient; you are at liberty to travel anywhere you wish at any time that suits you. On an RV vacation, you can enjoy the comforts of home as you travel to new places, and you can enjoy more quality time with family, including the pets. RVs are also a more affordable way to vacation, according to studies comparing vacation costs. The results of this increased recognition of the advantages of RV vacations can be seen in the rise of RV sales, and sales are projected to continue rising over the next year or more, according to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA).

One may wonder, though, what happens to RVs when they are not out on the road. A 2005 University of Michigan study authorized by the RVIA discovered that RV owners are on the road 26 days each year, on average. This leaves approximately 339 days when the RV is not in use. Where does the RV “live” when its owners are not taking a vacation? While an enclosed garage or storage area is the ideal location to store an RV for any length of time, most owners don’t have facilities like these at hand. More often than not, an RV sits on a homeowner’s property or at an outdoor RV storage facility. Harsh weather, moisture, sun, insects, birds, dirt, and other debris can take a heavy and expensive toll on an RV, so the best way to protect an RV is with RV covers. RV covers are a necessary accessory for ensuring that your mobile vacation home stays in top shape until the next time you want to take it on the road.

There’s a proper RV cover to fit just about every kind of RV, from Class A and Class C to travel trailers, folding campers, truck campers, and 5th wheel RVs. Be sure to select the appropriate cover for your particular RV so that you know it will fit properly. RV covers can be custom made, too, for those who want an even better fit or special features. Just any kind of RV covers won’t do, though. RV covers should be made from a robust, but breathable material. You’ll want a material that can resist harsh weather conditions, but also prevent moisture from becoming trapped and developing into mold and mildew. Some RV covers come equipped with access panels, making it easier to reach different parts of your RV without having to remove the entire cover to do so.

Private Property Vs. Public Trust

Posted on by

There are two types of property ownership recognized by law, jus privatum and jus publicum. Everybody’s familiar with jus privatum, also known as fee simple ownership. It means that you have title to a parcel of property, which confers upon you certain rights with respect to that property. Historically, private property rights have been defined as:
The right to control the use of your property.
The right to the benefits that accrue from your property.
The right to sell or transfer your property.
The right to exclude others from access to your property.
On the other hand, few people are familiar with jus publicum, also known as the public trust. Jus publicum ownership is always vested in the state, never in a private party. Unlike jus privatum, jus publicum is not transferrable. Furthermore, in any case where jus publicum can be established, it overrides jus privatum. Therein lies the rub. That enables the state to use jus publicum to abrogate your private property rights, without your consent and without compensation, in any situation where jus publicum can be established.

The idea of public trust goes back to English Common Law.

“Both the title and the dominion of the sea, and of rivers and arms of the sea, where the tide ebbs and flows, and of all the lands below high water mark, within the jurisdiction of the crown of England, are in the King. Such waters and the lands which they cover either at all times or at least when the tide is in, are incapable of ordinary and private occupation, cultivation, and improvement and their natural and primary uses are public in their nature, for highways of navigation and commerce, domestic and foreign, and for the purpose of fishing by all the King’s subjects. Therefore the title, jus privatum, in such lands, as of waste and unoccupied lands, belongs to the king, as the sovereign; and the dominion thereof, jus publicum, is vested in him, as the representative of the nation and for the public benefit.”
— U.S. Supreme Court, Shively v. Bowlby (1894)After the American Revolution, the thirteen former colonies that made up the newly formed Union assumed the title and rights of the King to all navigable rivers within their respective territories. The jus publicum was held to be non-transferrable, acting as a permanent public easement on the jus privatum title for purposes of navigation, commerce, and fishing, as originally designated under English Common Law. At a time when rivers were the most practical means of transporting people and goods over long distances, the free use of navigable waterways was considered essential for the development of local and interstate economies.
