Defining Quality in Undergraduate Education
Directions for Future Research Informed by a Literature Review
Objectives: This research brief explores the literature addressing quality in undergraduate education to identify what previous research has said about quality and to offer future directions for research on quality in undergraduate education.
Method: We conducted a scoping review to provide a broad overview of existing research. Using targeted search terms in academic databases, we identified and reviewed relevant academic literature to develop emergent themes and implications for future research.
Results: The exploratory review of the literature revealed a range of thoughtful discussions and empirical studies attempting to define quality in undergraduate education. Many publications highlighted the importance of including different stakeholder perspectives and presented some of the varying perceptions of quality among different stakeholders.
Conclusions: While a number of researchers have explored and written about how to define quality in undergraduate education, there is not a general consensus regarding a definition of quality in undergraduate education. Past research offers a range of insights, models, and data to inform future research.
Implication for Theory and/or Practice: We provide four recommendations for future research to contribute to a high quality undergraduate educational experience. We suggest more comprehensive systematic reviews of the literature as a next step.

A: We're sorry to hear about your discomfort. Eating should be a positive experience, not a painful one. Don't hesitate to get expert advice on the pain you're going through. Lockjaw could be a sign of tetanus, but it could also be a sign of a minor toothache or earache. If you just went through oral surgery (such as having your wisdom teeth removed), the lockjaw could just be a symptom of your body adjusting to the recent changes. In this case, your discomfort could disappear in a couple of days or weeks. Painful clicking or popping in the jaw, however, is potentially a sign of Temporomandibular Disorder.
Remember, symptoms vary depending on the person. Before you Google your symptoms, self-diagnose, and worry about conditions you might not have, we recommend calling a specialist. Your dentist will be able to review your dental history, make a proper diagnosis and come up with a solution that's right for you. This may involve heat therapy, gentle massage, soft diet, or physiotherapy. Finding help is as simple as making a call and booking an appointment.
If you don't have a dentist right now, you can call us anytime or book online. We're always accepting new patients. In the meantime, you can opt for anti-inflammatory drugs and soft foods to relieve some of the pain.

Want a few cute ideas to decorate for back to school?
Then head to the dollar store and the market!
Every year I love to decorate our kitchen for the first day of school.
A few cute ideas are to put a globe, ruler, pencil box, a box of crayons, abacus or blocks on the table.
Last night I took red and green pipe cleaners, and wrapped pencils around them and hung them on our chandler.
Then I took construction paper to use as place mats, bendable rulers, an apple and a book mark for table decorations decorations.
My final touch was a message with Crayola window markers on our mirror and kitchen windows which was a hit!
As I have said before, when you make school exciting, your kids will be excited too!
Take it from a former teacher and Mom who knows! Happy Back to School week!

1 August - Bexley council - Roads closed
Its been mentioned before that one of Bexley councils new and inconvenient habits is to show contempt for those who pay their wages by completely closing roads whenever a minor repair is required. The old way of closing just one carriageway at a time seems to have been abandoned. The latest such closure reported is of The Grove, near Danson Park, which has both entrances closed.

These are Resurrection Rolls...they are an Easter must have at our house. We have been doing these on the Saturday night before Easter morning for years now. They are so much fun and yummy too!
All you need is cresent rolls, marshmallows, cinnamon sugar and butter.
You dip the marshmallows in the butter, then in the cinnamon sugar, and roll the crescent roll around it so that you can't see any part of the marshmallow. Bake at 350 until you see that they are brown on the top and hollow in the middle!
We also read this book:
I love this book...It is the Easter story told from Peter's point of view....it is written by Walter Wangerin Jr.
Hope everyone has a Blessed Easter!

[web] Water Beneath Mars (LD29/48h Compo Game Submission)
A comet carrying ice has crashed into Mars. Its impact was so great, it made a hold beneath the red planets surface! Ice crystals were scattered across the crater. Here is the catch: some rocks did not surface, but instead hollowed out into caves and tunnels. Most ice crystals can be found in these caves and tunnels. A solar powered, laser-equipped robot, Explorer 29 has been sent to Mars, and must melt the ice crystals and collect at lease 1L (100mL) of water that is on mars for testing to see if liquid water can 'survive' on Mars.
- W and S to move back and forth.
- A and D to rotate left and right.
- Left Click to shoot a laser.
- Laser beams melt ice crystals.
- Ice crystals drop water when melted.
- Each water drop is worth 1mL.
- To win, you must collect 1L of water.
- Your battery recharges outside of caves and tunnels, but drains in and under them.
- If your battery reaches 0%, you lose.

Any internal combusion (IC) engine needs ignition of the combustible mixture in a particular cylinder at the proper time within a very small margin of error. The ignition system on engines of our vintage are electro-mechanical systems. The 'electro' part tends to be very reliable; it's the mechanical part that needs the most attention. Wear on the various parts can cause very large margins of error.
Order the parts first. As noted above, you'll need a set of plugs, points and a rotor. Condensers are commonly replaced at a tune up, but commonly don't need to be, ditto distributor caps. Maybe the rotor falls into this category; you choose. Plug wires are good for at least 50,000 miles, but if you are uncertain, it may be worth it.
There are several spark plugs which work well in 356s. I use NGK B6HS, others favor an equivalent Bosch plug or even a platinum Bosch plug. Points are dictated by your distributor, as is the condenser. Plug wires are standard, and come in aftermarket or original spec at varying prices.
A standard box of shop tools should suffice, but get at least a minimum of reference data from an Owner's Manual or an aftermarket book. You should have a timing light of some known reliability.
This contribution will cover points-triggered ignition systems; someone else can describe the electronic systems
All this will be done from the top of the car, so if it was lifted to work on the valves, you can put it in the ground. If the rear wheels hold the positive camber when it's lowered, it'll keep the rear further up in the air and ease the strain on your back.
Spark Plugs
Spark plugs take a 13/16" socket, one with some sort of built-in retainer, either friction (commonly a foam sleeve) or magnetic. Wrench and extensions are favored in many varieties; look through your tool box, pick and choose.
Pull the terminals loose from the plugs (not by tugging on the wires), loosen the plugs with the wrench. They should then come out with fingers on the extension. Keep them in order as they come out; there is some information available.
Editor's Note:
Click here for highly detailed article on the removal and installation of spark plugs.
It's important to examine the condition of your spark plugs, as they can give you important diagnostic information about your engine. "Reading" plugs is a matter of experience and there is no way to describe the exact colors which should be visible at various points on the working end of the plug. Also, the plug color is largely the result of the last 2 or 3 minutes of operation, probably near idle on most engines. But there are a couple of obvious signs of which can be seen and described.
Debris filling the gap in the plug means that plug was fouled and probably not firing. What the debris is might be found below, or it might be a result of a bad plug, plug wire or terminal.
Oil on the plug means there is oil in the chamber; it should not be there. It came from around some tired rings or tired intake valve guides, or perhaps some other path. The choice on when your engine gets freshened is yours, and if the engine is not mis-firing as a result of the oiled plugs, you can use it for some longer period.
Shiny, small, metal balls on a white insulator is bad news; that's melted aluminum, usually from a piston top which is melting from excess heat. This does require more serious attention to the rest of the engine. Do not run an engine which shows this indication; it won't run much further anyhow.
A plug which is light tan to white all over also needs further investigation; that's commonly a result of a lean mixture, so the carbs should be examined. Might also be too much ignition advance or 'hot' spark plugs, and those'll be fixed soon.
Leaded gas showed even, repeatable color gradations across the spark plug face clearly related to fuel mixture. Modern gas commonly shows nearly black in good cylinders, but lighter near the gap and the tip of the insulator. If that's the worst result of getting the lead out, I'll take it. There are many more advantages.
A final word on spark plugs: Sometimes you get a bad one. Don't bother trying to clean one if all else is fine and one cylinder just lays down. Replace it. It is likely bad in some manner which is not visible or testable.
Get what info you can from the removed plugs and sort it as you will. Gap the new plugs (.025" on the NGKs), put a 'drop' (no more) of Never-Seize or equal on the threads near the start end, and take the screw-on tips off. Let me repeat: Take the screw-on tips off. It will preserve your vocabulary.
I start the plugs into the heads with the socket and extension, finger tips only, imagining the centerline angles as best I can. If one doesn't feel right, turn it backwards; there is a definite, tactile, 'click' as the two thread ends pass each other in reverse. You should then be able to finger-tip rotate it clockwise and start the plug. Start all four; go back with the ratchet or other driver and tighten them. You can feel the hollow washer crush; when it begins to 'take a set', it's done. Either refit the existing plug leads (adjusting the air cap grommets), or leave them loose for replacement.
Take the cap off if it isn't already. Rotate the engine until the rotor is pointing to #1 (about 5:oclock) and the OT mark on the pulley is aligned with the reference mark (or the Timing Kit).
Remove the coil primary lead from the distributor; this is a usually a slide-on spade terminal on the far side of the distributor, in some cars it's a female connector attached with a nut. At the same time, check to make sure the wire is tight on the coil at the other end.
Make sure the keys are out of the ignition and the car is out of gear and blocked (or safety-braked). Remove the hold-down nut and washer from the distributor clamp bracket, pull the distributor out and clamp the tail in a vise on the bench.
Don't bother trying to salvage the existing points, just replace them. Pay attention to the insulator paper strip when installing the new set; it can move or break, shorting the points to ground (it can be replaced with common materials). If you are replacing the condenser, now's the obvious time. Adjust the points to a gap of .016". Fit a new O-ring to the distributor tail if you have any doubts about oil leakage at that location. Put just a drop of engine oil on the felt pad under the rotor. Put a tooth-pick-dab of distributor grease on the contact of the points block and the cam (on the 'points' side, not the 'pivot' side). Do not use silicone lube anywhere in the distributor; it will migrate and cause problems.
Put the distributor back into the car, just the way it came out, refit the nut and washer. I always check the points gap at refit, even though I have never found a change. The gap is very important; it has a direct effect on the timing. Set it and confirm it before you do any timing tasks. Rotate the engine to do so, getting the points as far open as they will go.
Install the rotor. Do it with care, making sure you have the correct one and it is correctly fitted. Compare the appearance and fit with the old one if there is doubt.
Do not reconnect the coil primary lead to the distributor. If you are replacing either the distributor cap or plug wire harness, go ahead and do it now as all parts are in their proper locations.
Static Timing
I use the Precision Matters Timing Kit to either read the OT mark or index the pulley, so the following is from various sources:
Dynamic Timing
A word about dyno and other tuning. An 'average' 356 engine on a dyno showed some 15% improvement in power between 'out of tune' and fully tuned, and some engines are even more sensitive to timing changes. Changing carburetors or exhaust systems hardly ever produces a horsepower difference of that amount. Absent a dyno, find that section of road and traffic where you can repeat acceleration and adjust the timing 'this' much or one index on the Timing Kit. Repeat the run; seat-of-the-pants tests will show the results here. Just fiddle and find what your engine likes.
Your next step is to tune your carburetors -- click on the appropriate link below:

Does Miami Beach even realize how lucky we are to have the Miami Beach Cinematheque right in it's backyard? The central nervous system of Miami's art house film obsession has flowed through the velvet carpets on their walls, and placed itself firmly in their comfortably padded chairs for the past 20 years.
In honor of this past Sunday's Academy Awards, MBC honors the best films to win awards. No, that doesn't mean they're going to break out the 3D IMAX projector to play Alonso Cuaron's stunningly-beautiful yet completely-pointless special effects porno-flick Gravity.
Instead, MBC brings the true Academy Award gems to Miami audiences, namely the nominees in the short live action and short animated films, which includes winners Helium (winner in live action) and Mr. Hublot (winner in animation). Friday, there will be an encore MBC screening of Foreign Language Film Oscar winner The Great Beauty (La Grande Bellazza).

PowermetersSunday, July 11th, 2010
I know most triathletes love there power meters and I think they have some good value for certain purposes. I thought I would post an extract from www.juliandean.co.nz website, the Kiwi sprinter riding for Garmin-transitions, he just got 2nd in stage 4 of the Tour de France, when not on leadout duties for there number one sprinter Tylar Farrar. Its a good insight into data reading when under stress/certain situations….. See below for an article and Julian in action
A return home from the Giro feeling good and not overdone is always a bonus. The first 10 days at home are a great time to relax and enjoy while many others are training full gas for the Tour. From then on though it always does become a little difficult to manage how much to do or not do before the Tour. Most of the time I just rely on feelings during this period as it's quite difficult to get good consistent days in as the body endeavours to re-adjust itself to working under a normal load as opposed to a race load. It's these sorts of times when a SRM can be a somewhat frustrating tool to have as the sensations and the data rarely seem to correspond. The other thing that people often say in their bid to boost my confidence is that, "You've done it so many times so you should know what to do". To an extent yes, but each time the Giro is different and each time you come out of it differently and each year you are a little older and respond a little differently.
Keep your head upTuesday, July 6th, 2010
Following on from Tezs last blog, I thought I would share what I re learnt this past week.
So I am out riding, its about 5 degrees, the wind is blowing, I have just been soaked wet in a big downpour. Riding back from TeAwamutu to Cambridge, about 15k to home.
I am riding some steady efforts down in the 3T aerobars, dreaming I think about some big race which I am in , so I come up to some cones and signage on the road, dont take to much notice, there is always roadworks around. Ride about another 1min, then I start to hear some yelling, I look up and #%^*, there is a asphalt truck sitting directly in my path about 10m ahead, split second thought, not enough time to turn right and get around the truck on the road, so I rip on the brakes and head for the grass verge, mission 1 accomplished – missed the truck. Mission 2 – get through the grass verge with out hitting anything and staying up right, sweet I get through that.
I realise what the yelling is now, it was the road workers trying to warn me about the truck! I must of rode right through there traffic management guys who where stopping the traffic and making it one lane in my daydream. I was quite lucky I wasnt listening to music, otherwise I would have had a face plant with the truck
So the moral of the story, keep your head up and eyes on the road

Just yesterday at 4:45pm ET, Virgin Atlantic ferried G-VFAB "Lady Penelope" flew from Las Vegas to Goodyear for its final flight. The Boeing 747-4Q8 first became airborne on April 14th, 1994 and would go onto serve Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic for 21 years.
The aircraft operated its last revenue flight as VS46 on September 22nd between New York John F. Kennedy and Heathrow, and only a day later she was positioned to Gatwick and remained at the South-London airport for two days. On the 26th, the aircraft was ferried as VS809P to Las Vegas to clear customs before her final flight as VS810 to Goodyear for storage and eventual scrapping. The aircraft was equipped with 4x CF6-80 engines and flew with 44 Upper Class seats, 62 Premium Economy seats and 261 Economy seats.
Being the first of the 747-400 series to join Virgin Atlantic, the airline went on to own a total of 12 "Queen of the Skies" aircraft, being based out of London's Gatwick, Heathrow and Manchester airports. With an average age of 16 years across it's 747 fleet, Lady Penelope was one of the oldest. Previously, the airline spent $76 million on retrofitting the interior of all 747 aircraft, but with its lack of efficiency these aircraft have begun being phased out slowly.
The airline has seen it's fleet evolve over the last few years; in addition to the retirement of some aircraft in the 747 fleet, the airline's Airbus A340-300 aircraft were removed from service, completing its last flight on April 9th, 2015. To compensate for these removed aircraft, the airline has taken possession of ten Airbus A330-300s and currently owns seven out of ten ordered Boeing 787-9 airplanes. Virgin had originally ordered the Airbus A380 as well, but has pushed its entry into service date back until at least to 2018.
The airline also owned a handful of Airbus A320 aircraft. Back in 2013, the airline attempted to compete with rival British Airways in the domestic market under the name Little Red, and wet-leased four Airbus A320s from Aer Lingus for three years to launch its 12 daily domestic services from London Heathrow to Manchester, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Towards the end of 2014 the subsidiary company suffered heavy losses, and had an average seat occupancy rate of only 36%, Little Red ceased operations on September 26th, 2015.
Lady Penelope becomes only the second 747-400 to be retired from the airline's fleet thus far, with G-VTOP being the first to leave back in 2013. While the Boeing 747-400 seems to be a dying breed at many airlines, it will be forever remembered as the "Queen of the Skies" during its many years of service.

Follow AllFaith.com
1:1: Dhritarastra asked: My people and the people of Pandu assembled on the field of righteousness known as Kuruksetra desiring to fight. What did they do, O Sanjaya?
1:2: Sanjaya replied: Having seen the Pandava army drawn into battle array, King Duryodhana then approached his preceptor [Drona] and spoke the following words:
1:3: O master, behold this great military of the people of Pandu arrayed by your skillful disciple, the son of Drupada.
1:4: Here are heroes in battle, mighty archers equal to Bhima and Arjuna: Yuyudhana, Virata and Drupada, each a maha-rathah [or great chariot fighter proficient in war and able to defeat ten thousand archers single-handedly].
1:5, 6: The greatest mortals of all, including Dhristaketu, Cekitana and the fearless Kasiraja, Purujit, also Kuntibhoja and Shaibya,
Yudhamanyu and the mighty Uttamauja, [Abhimanyu] the courageous son of Subhadra [and Arjuna] and the sons of Draupadi; all of whom are certainly great chariot fighters.
1:7: O best of the bramanas, all of my warriors are most powerful, but for your information I will tell you only of the military leaders.
1:8: Your honored self, Bhishma, Karna and Kripa are victorious in battle even as Ashvatthama, Vikarna and [Bhurishrava] the son of Somadatta are.
1:9: There are many other heroes as well who are prepared to sacrifice their very lives for my sake. They are armed with many weapons and missiles and all are well equipped for battle. 1:10: [Behold] our unlimited forces, commanded by [venerable Grandfather] Bhishma and their limited army, commanded by Bhima.
1:11: "Everyone in this panoply of troops, divided by divisions and stations, defend [Grandfather] Bhishma!"
1:12: [Bhishma], the grand sire and elder of the Kuru dynasty, encouraged him [Duryodhana] by roaring like a lion and loudly sounding his mighty conch.
1:13: Then the conchs, kettledrums, tabors, small drums and cow-horns in unison quickly blared forth their tumultuous sounds.
1:14-19: Thereafter, seated on a great chariot drawn by white horses, Madava [Shri Krishna] and Pandava [Arjuna] likewise blew their celestial conchs.
Hrishikesha [Shri Krishna] blew Panchajanya, Dhananjaya [Arjuna] blew Devadatta and Bhima, 'whose actions inspire fear,' sounded the great conch named Paundra. King Yudhisthira, the son of Kunti, blew his conch, named Anantavijaya. Nakula and Sahadeva sounded Sughosa and Manipuspaka.
That expert archer the king of Kashi, Shikhandhi, the great chariot fighter, Dhristadyumna and Virata, as well as Satyaki the unconquerable -
O lord of the Earth [Dhritarastra] - and Drupada, the sons of Draupadi and the well armed son of Subhadra [Abhimanyu] all sounded their respective conchs.
That tumultuous uproar shattered the hearts of the sons of Dhritarastra and even oscillated the sky and earth.
1:20: Then, in battle array with the banner of Hanuman, the son of Pandu [Arjuna] prepared to engage. Beholding the sons of Dhritarastra, he took up arrows and spoke these words unto Hrishikesha [Shri Krishna], O lord of the earth.
1:21-23: Arjuna said, O Unlapsing Vishnu, please place my chariot in the midst of both armies so that I may behold all those desiring to fight, both those with me and those with whom I must enter into this strife of war.
I wish to look upon those assembled here by the evil minded son of Dhritarastra who are intent upon fighting to please him.
1:24: Sanjaya said: Thus addressed by Gudakesha [Arjuna], Hrishikesha [Shri Krishna], O descendant of Bharata, placed that best of chariots in the midst of the armies.
1:25: In the presence of [Grandfather] Bhishma and Drona, as well as all the rulers of the earth, [the Lord] spoke these words: O child of Partha, behold all these Kurus who are thus gathered.
1:26: There the son of Partha [Arjuna] saw stationed before him fathers, grandfathers, teachers, maternal uncles, brothers, sons, grandsons, friends and fathers-in-law; indeed well-wishers were in both armies.
1:27: Having seen all these relatives so situated, the son of Kunti [Arjuna] was filled with compassion and with deepest lamentation spoke thus:
1:28, 29: Arjuna said: O Krishna, seeing all these relatives standing ready and eager to fight, my limbs falter and my mouth is parched.
My body is trembling and my hairs are standing erect. Gandiva [my bow] is slipping from my hand and indeed, my skin is burning.
1:30-35: I am unable to stand; my mind seems to reel and I see adverse omens O Keshava [Krishna].
I see no benefit in killing my own relatives in battle, nor do I desire victory or the kingdom nor [the subsequent] happiness, O Krishna.
O Govinda, what use to us is the kingdom? Where is the enjoyment in life? For whose sake do we desire the kingdom, material enjoyment and happiness?
Those for whom we desire these things - our teachers, fathers, sons, indeed, even our grandfathers - are standing ready to battle and give up their lives and wealth.
Other relations as well, including our maternal uncles, fathers-in-law, grandsons and brothers-in-law; all these I do not wish to kill, even if I am killed by them, O Madhusudana [Krishna].
O Janardana [Krishna], what pleasure would there be, even if the three worlds were given in exchange for a kingdom; how then for the sake of this earth shall I kill the sons of Dhritarastra?
1:36: Only guilt will cleave to us by killing these aggressors, therefore we are not justified in slaying the sons of Dhritarastra. Indeed, how can we attain happiness by murdering our relations and relatives, O Madhava [Krishna]?
1:37, 38: Although these [Kauravas] do not see their fault - their minds being overpowered by greed - the destruction of families and the oppression of friends is a crime.
Why should we, who know the sin of destroying a dynasty, not cease from this crime, O Janardana [Krishna]?
1:39-42: With the destruction of a family its noble traditions perish. When its eternal rites and religious principles are destroyed, the whole dynasty is overtaken by irreligion.
O Krishna, irreligion having become prevalent the women of the family become adulterated. When the women become corrupt, O descendant of Vrishni, caste confusion is generated.
Such confusion brings to hell the slayers of the family and the family itself. Then the ancestors are deprived of their sacrificial offerings of rice cakes and water and hence they also fall.
By such faults on the part of the destroyers of the family, caste confusion leads to the devastation of caste religious traditions as well as the eternal family traditions.
1:43-45: We have heard, O Janardana [Krishna], that those who spoil family traditions have hell as their eternal abode.
Alas, due to greed for royal pleasures we have determined to commit a great sin and are prepared to kill our own relatives.
Even if the sons of Dhritarastra, weapons in hand, should kill me unarmed and without resistance in battle, for me, that would be better.
1:46: Sanjaya said: Having thus spoken, his mind overwhelmed with grief on the battlefield, Arjuna sat down in his chariot and dropped his bow and arrows.

The outstanding range of facilities at Loseley Park mean we can cater for intimate gatherings to major events open to the public.
Each venue can change subtly in character to reflect the nature of that event – yet all share the indefinable magic that Loseley brings.
The Tithe Barn
The Tithe Barn that once stored tithes – tax in the form of grain paid by medieval farmers – now forms a spectacular and spacious venue for meetings and receptions of all kinds.
Ancient oak beams, the marks of the original carpenters still visible, make this a particularly intimate venue, yet one that can accommodate 140 guests.
Chestnut Lodge
Chestnut Lodge is the smallest of our venues, but that makes events held here no less special.
Especially popular for meetings for up to 45, outdoor activity days on the estate and less formal lunches and dinners, its private nature and views over the park make it the perfect place, to work, reflect or simply recharge.

In March, the snow line is quite low in altitude and you may have snowfall above 2500m. The minimum temperatures are still very low. Most of the animals and birds take refuge in the lower forests; so if you are wildlife enthousiast this could be the best time to go. We won't suggest you to go for a long trek in March. You can select a low altitude trek in the GHNP or hikes in the ecozone.
April is a nice month for trek, it is springtime ! All the mountains are still covered by snow. There are a lot of wildlife and birds in the lower forests, and there are a lot of flowers. It is not yet hot and the night temperatures might be still minus zero above 3000m. Sky is clear in April, so you will definitively enjoy getting warmed up in the sun during the day. Most of the trek routes open during this month but you might not be able to trek in the highest altitude (above 3500m) because of snow.
These are the summer months for India. Excellent months for trek. The summer makes the Park and its ecozone a very pleasant haven for all those who suffers from extreme heat in the plain of India. It is the best time for spending nights under tents and stay late outside under the stars. Nevertheless, during the day, walking for hours in the sun could be troublesome for the most sensitive. Bring your hat ! You can do almost all the proposed treks during these two months.
After the Monsoon no snow remains on the mountains, only the ice and the glaciers on highest peaks have kept the fascinating shining white of the Himalayas. The monsoon rains lasts at least till mid-September and the clouds may still hide the Park peaks even when there is no rain. It is better to go at the end of the month although the dates of the withdrawal of the monsoon are unpredictable. Temperatures are comfortable.
October is a very pleasant month. The monsoon has left, the fields are very green and the forests start wearing the colors of autumn. Temperatures are still pleasant. November is colder but the colors of autumn are just stunning contrasting with a deep blue sky! So you can still enjoy GHNP in November. Some of the higher peaks may receive some fresh snow, just for the pleasure of your eyes. You can do all the proposed treks during these two months.
You may consider also coming in December but get yourself ready for very cold nights. It should not be a problem with our special camping equipment. Check with us the latest weather forecast, snowfalls may happen in December.
See the temperature chart for Kullu / Manali below for reference. These are not the temperature you will have in the Park. Since the temperature drops with altitude you need to adjust the temperatures mentioned in the chart according to the altitude of the camps you will be staying during your trek.
Reduce the temperature given in the chart by the amount given in the table.
|Altitude of your camp (m)
|Temperature drop (°C)
For instance if you plan a trek in April with a night at 3000 m, you can expect the night temperature to fall at 11°C-12°C = -1°C (temperature given in the graph - correction given in the table = actual expected night temperature).

Hippie tattoos reflect the era of the 1960's.
They commemorate the style of the time, and perhaps remind some of their personal revolt or lifestyle.
This body art captures the characteristics and look of hippies; the layouts are attractive and are expressions of peace and love.
Hippie body art these days is reminiscent of the 1960s: vibrant colours, flower patterns, funny swirls, doves, happy faces, hearts, daisies and butterfliesare only a few of the hippie designs for your next tattoo.
The tattoos are brightly colored and enjoyable as well as significant.
They are usually placed along the shoulder blades, the lower back, and theback and particularly on the inner side of the wrist, ankles and also on the top of the feet.
The peace symbol tattoo design is probably the most known tattoo for hippies at that time.
Displaying a peace sign tattoo can certainly indicate your own philosophy of life.
One can say without a doubt that floral tattoos make awesome hippie tats and daisy tattoos are very popular with the girls.

Alternative Santorini Tourism Activities
Santorini is an infamous island, well known all over the world, mostly for the magical sunsets and lastly for the alternate ways of spending your vacation moments. History, architecture and ancient paths are some of the hidden treasures of Thira (Santorini).
Whitewashed houses, blue domes, donkeys, colorful beaches and many more are some of the activities and interests that you must experience.
Alternative Santorini
Avoid the crowds and the human traffic and create the possibility to explore the real values of the island by hiking, diving, donkey riding, gastronomical explorations and wine tasting. In addition, Santorini is firmly connected with the religious and historical as long as geographical thematic tourism. The reason is the island is literally flooded with little churches and Orthodox Cathedrals. Panagia Episkopi is one of the most famous old churches. Moreover, the traditional Aegean Cuisine, the traditional local music and ancient handicrafts are waiting for you to explore them.
In fact the villages don't stop at the rim, but cascade (increasingly each year) down the sheer face of the cliffs, with much of the accommodation being housed in the Gruyere-like caves and indentations in 1967, excavations began at the site of Akrotiri. They uncovered something phenomenal: an ancient Minoan city buried deep beneath volcanic ash from the catastrophic eruption of 1613 BC. Today, the site retains a strong sense of place and reverent awe. Housed within a cool, protective structure, wooden walkways allow you to pass through various parts of the city.
Probably you have heard about the ancient path-hike from the capital Fira to the romantic Oia. It's a 3 hour walk along a well-marked track is truly splendid, especially when the weather is fine and mild. There are few challenges (steep climbs and slippery sandy areas) but these did not detract from the breathtaking views across the Caldera. The steep cliffs, ragged pathways, churches dotted on the edges, a donkey strolling past; all while taking in the incredible view the whole way! Recommend a good pair of shoes, decent amount of walking fitness and a good amount of water.
Witness the representation of a really traditional Greek wedding at White Door Theater in Fira. Amazing actors-actresses, really talented – very good sense of humor! Someone has to go & enjoy– a lot of dance & very good quality of service (food, wine). The show includes audio visual, folklore music and dance, meze and lots of fun and "OPA".
Seize the opportunity given and take the traditional boat form the old harbor of Fira in order to visit the volcano and the hot springs. It's a 25 minute sail where you will be able to see the magnificent Santorini form the water. As you arrive at the crater you will sense the unworldly feeling of the black stones and the sulfur smell, of one of the top three super volcanos in the history of the world. Be prepared for rocky slopes and hot temperatures. The hike is about minutes and at the end you will be able to see the center of the semi active volcano. As you leave Palea Kameni (volcanic islet) for the hot springs the boat will stop and you will have to jump and swim for 20 meters. Be prepared for yellow, muddy waters that smell sulfur. Energizing, healing and powerful inner-earth materials embrace your body giving you the most for your body health.
Take the path around the lighthouse (which is semi-private) to the headland beyond. Not for those suffering from vertigo – stunning views of the caldera whilst sitting on rocks. Three point turns in the tiny parking area are a little enervating with a sheer drop on one side! Here it is all about the view and the private feeling. Sit on a rock and wait for the sun to set in front of you, while on your back you can see all the caldera cliffs.
The monastery of Profitis Ilias is literaly the crown of the island. Standing on top of everything, at the highest point nearly 848 meters. Overview of the island, step into the small church and light up a candle. Enjoy outside on the terrace and search your hotel, small villages of Santorini. It's a test to see how well you now the island already. Spectacular view along the way where you can see the whole of Santorini and upon reaching the monastery. Appreciate the well preserved art and architecture. Both inside as well as outside the monastery. Especially the religious mosaic icons beautifully inlaid along its sturdy walls. Refreshing both for the sight and the spirit.
If you are an exploring spirit, worth the try to take the small boat from Ammoudi Bay and visit the islet of Thirassia. It used to be part of Santorini, ages ago but now it is isolated and standing there – opposite Santorini – alone, with few habitants and lots of donkeys. It's an entirely different venue from the Cosmo political Santorini. It's like almost an image, how Santorini used to be decades ago. Traditional Greek coffee shops, narrow gravel thrown roads and neighborhood style squares, are some of the things that will magnetize your eyes.
When someone thinks about Santorini, he is definitely thinking donkeys! Yes it's the trademark of the island years now. Avoid the touristic donkey ride at the old port with the 588 steps and organize a real donkey ride, which starts from the ranch near Imerovigli and ends at a special point near Finikia village. Along the ride helmets are provided, chilled bottles of water and of course famous local meze. You will stop for pictures and you will have the chance to enjoy the unique experience to combine a ride with one of the most loved animals (the donkey) and some spectacular views of the island.
Eyes sealed, legs crossed on red yoga mat, arms and spine straight, fingers in mudra, and body weight evenly distributed on tosh. Inhale deep through nose, hold, and exhale long through mouth. Focus and relaxed. Eyes open slowly to sunrise and the warm Aegean sea breeze gently blows your bangs from the eyes as a swarm of butterflies dance off the right corner of my peripheral view. Yoga and meditation at the island of Santorini is something different. The energy of the volcano and the Greek sun combination is something that you will admire and furthermore you will reach the highest levels of relaxation and balancing your mind vs mind.
If you love to capture every special moment of your vacation life, definitely you have to do the Photo Safari tour. Private professional photographer, a chilled bottle of white Santorinian wine, speakers to listen to your favorite music and a lot of passion, you have to be equipped with so as to turn your day into a once in a lifetime experiences. Leave the photographer to take you to his favorite hidden spots, guide you through the fancy world of posing and modeling, while he will set and direct all this Mystagogy.
Only last year some extreme sports supporters, founded and created the first climbing facilities at the only mountain like rock, called Mesa Vouno. Well organized and secure, you can climb either at the novice levels or if you are a professional one you can try the hard levels of the climbing facilities.
The Santorini alternative experience continues through winery tours and wine tastings, which is one of the top things you should do on the island. Over the last few years the wines from Santorini have gained international recognition and become popular. It is no coincidence that the Wine Enthusiast magazine chose Santorini as one of the best wine destinations for 2014! So, make this happen by taking a Santorini Wine Trail! This is a great way to see both the island and learn and visit some of the most beautiful wine houses in Greece. Educational, tasty and delightful wine tasting excursion. There are plenty tours to choose from. Usually the tour visits three of the most popular wineries of the island. You will be able to see the wine Museum, to crush some grapes (during August), visit the organic vineyards and of course finish your tour with an extraordinary wine tasting experience.
Concluding all, Santorini is ready to welcome every traveler or visitor in so many different ways. Simply its name is more than enough to unfold in mind stunning sunsets and scenery, white, red and black sand beaches, impressive traditional houses, balconies with view to the Volcano and and lively night life. All the above, along with the remains of the antiquity and the myth of the Lost Atlantis justify the words which the tourists determine this wonderful island. Visit Santorini. It's a once in a lifetime experiences.

Trilogy: Past Present Future (or simply Trilogy) is a 1980 album by the American singer Frank Sinatra. It was his first album in six years; this album produced the last of Sinatra's many signature numbers, "Theme from New York, New York."
Artistic scheme[edit]
Each of the album's three records was conceived as an individual work portraying a different time epoch, and each was arranged by one of Sinatra's major collaborators: Billy May (The Past), Don Costa (The Present), and Gordon Jenkins (The Future). Nelson Riddle also contributed the arrangement of "Something" for The Present.
For "The Past," Sinatra made a record of standards ("The Song Is You," "It Had to Be You," "All of You") for the first time since the early 1960s. "The Present" concentrates on pop hits like "Love Me Tender", "Something", "Song Sung Blue", "MacArthur Park", and "Just the Way You Are". Stephen Thomas Erlewine's review described "The Future" as "a mess", although it was also called "ambitious, experimental, and self-referential — more of a freeform suite than a set of songs".[1]
Trilogy: Past Present Future peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard 200.
At the Grammy Awards of 1981, Trilogy: Past Present Future was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, and Sinatra's recording of "Theme from New York, New York" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year, Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and the Grammy Award for Song of the Year.
On his WNEW-AM show, Jonathan Schwartz described the "Future" suite that forms the final part of this album as "narcissistic" and "a shocking embarrassment".[2] Sinatra rang to complain, and had Schwartz suspended from his job.[2]
Writing for Billboard in 2015, Bruce Handy said, "35 years after its March 1980 release, in this, the year of Sinatra's 100th birthday, it remains one of the most ambitious, strange, brilliant and bloated albums of his or any other artist's body of work."[3]

Learn about our editorial policy Robin Elise Weiss, PhD, MPH Updated on September 25, 2019 Blend Images/Getty Images More in Labor and Delivery Pain Relief C-Sections In This Article Table of Contents Expand Vaginal Exams Sex Exercise Dehydration Nipple Stimulation Contractions and Steps to Take View All Back To Top Contractions are the one thing that most people focus on when it comes to deciding what is labor and what isn't labor. But, simply having contractions is not the same thing as being in labor. You might find yourself wondering: What are the causes of contractions? Did you know that there are many things that can cause contractions? Contractions occur in pregnancy when you have a certain level of oxytocin flowing in your blood. This can be very normal, like labor, when your body and your baby's brain release oxytocin to stimulate contractions for labor. Or it can happen if you are dehydrated, meaning a little bit of oxytocin your body would have ignored earlier is in greater concentration, and now you're having contractions. Here are some times when contractions happen and what you need to do about them: Vaginal Exams At the end of pregnancy, your practitioner might want to do a vaginal exam to do a Group B strep test or to assess your cervix. Sometimes having a vaginal exam tends to stir up some annoying, irregular contractions. This is particularly true if the membranes were also swept or stripped. These contractions are often uncomfortable to painful. They tend to shift around in length and timing. The good news is that comfort measures you've been practicing for labor will often help out. Sex Sex at the end of your pregnancy can cause contractions. These contractions can be quite intense and painful. Often they subside as quickly as they arrived. Though sometimes they peter out into irregular contractions for a while before completely disappearing. This can take up to an hour and you may also have a feeling of fullness in your abdomen after an orgasm, which is also completely normal. Speaking of which, orgasms alone can cause contractions, even if you don't have intercourse. This can happen if you're masturbating alone or with a partner. If you have been told to avoid sex because of a history or risk of preterm labor, you will also want to ask if that means you need to discontinue orgasms without intercourse as well. Why Sex Can Be an Effective Way to Induce Labor Exercise The bigger the belly and the harder the exercise, the more likely the contractions are to be caused by the activity. Quit working out and see what your uterus does. If the contractions continue for more than an hour, call your doctor or midwife while you drink some water. You may also need to adjust or curtail your exercise if this happens frequently, particularly prior to 37 weeks. This can also be linked to number dehydration. Dehydration This is a big deal. You should try to avoid dehydration because it can also be a cause of preterm labor. Stay well hydrated. Dehydration is much more common in hotter or summer months, but it is possible all year long. Be cognizant of the fact that you can quickly become dehydrated. Rehydration is the first line of defense for preterm labor, so be sure to drink water. If you think your contractions are coming because you didn't drink enough, drink water, sit down and call your practitioner for directions, particularly if you are not yet 37 weeks pregnant. Nipple Stimulation Whether this comes from sexual activity, a breast pump or a baby — nipple stimulation can cause contractions. There are even some protocols to use nipple stimulation as a form of induction of labor. If nipple stimulation gives you contractions that last more than a few minutes, you will want to stop and check-in with your practitioner. What to Do If You Have Contractions If you are having more than five contractions in an hour and you are not yet 37 weeks, you will want to talk to your doctor or midwife immediately. This may be preterm labor and you will need to be seen, perhaps even in the emergency room. If you are having contractions at that rate and you are past 37 weeks of gestation, you may be in labor. Real labor has contractions that get strong, longer and closer together. If your contractions are not progressing in this manner, you are probably not in labor. If your contractions change patterns and do become strong, longer and closer together, reassess, maybe you are in labor! If you aren't sure, call your doctor or midwife.

Just 6kms from St Marys, visitors can climb to an elevation of 832m at South Sister Lookout for magnificent panoramic views over east coast Tasmania and the Fingal Valley. On a clear day, the scene stretches north as far as St Helens and the Bay of Fires. Look west to Ben Lomond National Park and south to Bicheno and Freycinet National Park.
Easy Does It: South Sisters Lookout
South Sister Lookout is billed as an "easier" version than some other peak-climbing options in the Fingal Valley region, but don't be fooled by the promised 10-minute "walk" from the car park. We found this hike to be a very good cardio workout, with some rugged steps to negotiate. Much of the track was accompanied by a rather rickety metal handrail. Despite the effort required, it was worth every step for the amazing views. If you're up for the challenge, drive north from the town's Main Street (Esk Main Road) into Franks Street near the library. That town street evolves into German Town Road on the outskirts; then watch for the blue tourism sign (marked South Sisters Lookout) to the left.
NB We're under the impression that the official title is South Sister Lookout (so just ONE female sibling). However, the sign points to South Sisters Lookout – plural? Hopefully this doesn't confuse anyone!

Park Central was originally constructed as a premium rental community which was quickly converted to a condominium property in 1999. There are one, two and three bedroom floor plans among the approximately 400 residential units. The building offers a wide range of homeowner amenities, perhaps more than any other Midtown property. In addition to the outdoor pool there is an indoor lap pool, aerobic cardio and fitness rooms (recently upgraded), rooftop sundeck, grill areas, clubroom, secured dog walk and business center. In addition to onsite property management there is a 24/7 concierge staff which is double staffed during peak hours. The building has ample guest parking within its secured garage. Park Central is in close proximity to the Midtown Marta station, Piedmont Park and multiple dining and entertainment establishments.
