Keaton Beach fishing report June 17-18 2016/
Photo Cutlines:
1112 Laura Gavronsky with a the winning 3.95 lb trout In Saturday's Nauti-Girls Tourney

Keaton Beach Fishing report June 17,18 2016
Trout fishing could hardly be better with limits each of my last four charters. We have caught four trout over 4 pounds in three trips with a winning 3.95 lb trout in the Nauti-Girls Tourney for Laura Gavronsky Saturday. She beat out 190 entrees for first place in the Trout division. Way to Go Laura!
Saturday, I had Lynne Daboll of Tampa, Stephanie Weldon of Odessa and Laura Gavronsky of St Augustine, fishing in the Nauti-Girls Tourney and we caught their limit of trout besides Laura's winning fish. We fished in 4.5 - 5.5 feet of water ( on a falling tide all day) to land our fish. Pinfish under Back Bays.
Friday, I had Jim and Kendall Bruchey of Moultrie, Ga. out and we caught a limit of 15 trout and two reds. Jim landed a 25" trout weighing 5 pounds from 5.5 feet of water. We caught all our trout on live pinfish under Back Bay Thunders.
Tuesday, I had Bernie and Landon Hall of Thomasville, Ga. with Harper McClendon and we caught 20 trout with four over 20" and one redfish. Bernie had top honors with a 26" trout weighing 4.9 pounds. We also landed a 4.3 lb. trout. All the trout were caught on live pinfish rigged up 34" under Back Bay Thunders. We only caught three short trout all day.
Reds have scattered since the T/S came through but I blame the hot water (88+ degrees) in the shallows today...Trout have been voracious if you were on the right spot despite the hot water.

Zamil Air Conditioners (ZAC) celebrated a company record in 2003 with the production of over half a million room air-conditioning units.
The 500 000th unit rolled off the production line at the company's manufacturing facilities in the Dammam First Industrial City in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia on the 28th December last year.
"We can all be proud of these great achievements by our consumer products business unit production team, which has set these new records for Zamil Air Conditioners and which has also elevated our leadership status among the entire air conditioning manufacturing base in the Middle East," said Ahmed Al Zamil, president of ZAC.

(Kitchen) Dreaming Is Free
Our kitchen is a 2m by 3m box located in the tower bay window. Calling it a kitchen is actually a tad ambitious - in reality it's a collection of crooked cabinets and a dodgy old cooker (which we discovered shortly after moving in was powered via an extension cable in the cellar...awesome). We have big plans to create a fabulous kitchen-diner extension with huge velux windows and glass French doors opening onto a wooden deck overlooking the garden. This is a long way off, however (many pennies must be saved first), so until then I've been busy getting my Pinterest on.
We want the kitchen to feel light, airy and eclectic - love the antique mirror, paisley wallpaper and sleek glossy cabinets.
Source: 1st Option via Desire to Inspire
Handpainted (by us, of course) French grey wooden units would look amazing.
Source: At Home in Arkansas
I know wooden worktops are high maintenance, but how awesome are these rustic reclaimed wood beauties?
Source: Design Dress Decor
For some reason I'm very drawn to this glossy blue floor. The flooring in the family/dining areas of our extension will be the original Victorian floorboards, but I like the idea of laying contrast flooring in the kitchen area between the long run of units and the island. Our neighbours have a fab rubber floor which is so practical with kids running around, so that could be a good option to get some colour on the floor.
And of course the dining area will have mismatched chairs, in best Pinterest style. I can't wait to buy a bunch on eBay and do 'em up.

And moving swiftly back to reality:
After seeing a recipe for Nutella-stuffed sea-salt chocolate-chip cookies on Cup of Jo that promised to be the best cookie one could ever hope to taste, I collected up all the ingredients plus an enthusiastic two-year old and gave it a go. Carnage ensued - cooking with a toddler is not the neatest of activities, especially in the world's ugliest and least practical kitchen. I'm so looking forward to one day having a big, beautiful island unit for cooking en famille.
And the cookies? Well, they didn't look quite like this, but considering they contained slightly more crushed egg shell than the recipe strictly called for, and were baked in an ancient gas oven while I simultaneously supervised an energetic toddler playdate, they were freakin' delicious. My advice is to make them immediately, if not sooner.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the kitchen to eat Nutella from the jar with a spoon. I've got two children to take care of so it's very important that I keep up my strength.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was honoured with the title of 'Dalit Mitra' by the Ambedkar Mahasabha in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh today on the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti.
During addressing the event, CM Adityanath stated that the BJP government has worked continue in his whole life for Dalits improvement.

In a departure from the Dish's usual vapid drivel (and at the risk of geeking out again), I must introduce you to 23andMe. For $1000 you can discover your own genome. How cool is that??? Just point, click, spit (2 ml), send and you'll receive a claim code to cruise around the site's tools and find out your origins -- maybe you really are royalty! Get a number of family members to submit their info and you can find out which parent to blame for specific genetic traits such as your lactose intolerance and dancing ability (or lack thereof).
You can also find out, genetically speaking, which grandparent you have the most in common with. As Dr. Darren Platt explained at a Nov 29 UCSF Sympoium, the genes you inherit from your grandparents aren't exactly the 25% you'd expect (given that exactly 50% comes from each parent). Seems there's a bit of a chromosomal shuffle when parents combine their DNA, so you really may be more like one grandparent than another. Not sure if this could impact your inheritance, but wouldn't it be cool to know? (-:
Most importantly, though, having a permanent record of your genome gives you a way to put the latest genetic discoveries into context. Although genes aren't destiny, it would be great to understand their potential impact on your health. Maybe it would be just the push you (or your friends/loved ones) need to finally quit smoking or get off the couch and go to the gym.
For adoptees (like moi) who have zero interest in finding their birth parents, this is potentially life-altering. Of course I obsess about what 'faults' reside in my DNA as well as who to blame for that darned 'junk in the trunk' gene! 23andMe gives me (and countless other adoptees) an incredible way to find some peace of mind without the emotional messiness of a search.
Here's the link for their site where you'll find a well written (and easy-to-understand) genetics primer as well as an entertaining About Us section. Enjoy!

Corvallis, Ore -- OSU head coach Mark Barnard announced Monday that former Oregon State volleyball star Arica Nassar will rejoin the program as a graduate student assistant.
"We are happy to welcome Arica back to Oregon State," Barnard said. "As a former standout middle blocker with our 2014 Sweet 16 team, Arica brings with her a wealth of experience in regards to what it takes to be successful at this level.
Before returning to Corvallis, Nassar worked at UCLA as a volunteer assistant in 2017.
"I'm really excited to be back in Corvallis," Nassar said. "My role will be different this time around but I am ready for this new adventure and I can't wait to be back in Gill Coliseum with Beaver Nation behind us. Go Beavs!"
Nassar left behind a memorable legacy at Gill Coliseum, she was one of two players in OSU history with 1,000 career kills (1,033) and 500 blocks (540). She ranked third all-time in blocks, 13th in points (1,380), and 15th in kills, leading the Beavers in blocks per set all four seasons.
As a senior in 2014, she led her team to the best season in program history with 21 wins, the third-most in program history, including the Beavers' first two NCAA postseason victories and a trip to the Regional Semifinals.
She graduatated with a degree in chemistry in 2015 and was a three-time Pac-12 Academic Honorable Mention selection.
Nassar also played professionally in Finland (WomanVolley, 2015-16) and Sweden (Engelholm, 2016-17), helping Engelholm to League and Gran Prix Championships.
"Her energy and enthusiasm for life and volleyball is something that will add a great deal to this program," Barnard said. "She is one of those people you just want to be around and I am pleased know that she will be around us for the coming two years."

I noticed some bluish coloring on its legs, and I'm wondering, do you guys have any pictures of mature/fully colored individuals? I know females are much more vibrant than males, but for some reason I can't seem to find a good picture when I look it up. I'm not sure if the pictures are doctored or just not the same species, but they all seem to be inconsistent. If you have any pictures of your cobalts, I'd love to see them! Thanks!

Place-Based Education at GUS
"How was school today? Who did you play with?" I asked my five year old daughter, as we left the Glen Urquhart lower school building and stepped outside into the bright, warm, mid-September air. The buildings, the trees, and the pollinator garden gleamed against a crisp blue sky, softened by the late afternoon light. I'm often struck by the natural beauty of the GUS campus at this time of day and, even as I'm happy to head home, I still feel the urge to pause, breathe deeply, and appreciate the beauty of our campus grounds. On this day, however, it was not my own sense of wonder that stopped me in my tracks, but my daughter's response to my rather banal question. "Mom," she began, "do you know how to make flour?"
It was only a couple of weeks into the school year, but the kindergarteners were already off to work, exploring their theme of "The World Around Us" by learning how to turn wheat into flour. My daughter proceeded to explain each step of the process to me, along with how she and her classmates worked in groups to try two different approaches to grinding grains and then compared their methods. The kindergarten students were already embarked on the GUS journey of discovering themselves as learners, rooted from their earliest days in hands-on exploration that made learning real, tangible, and engaging. The GUS mission of encouraging children to "explore their intellects and develop their imaginations" was well on its way in kindergarten, and this reality struck me at once, transforming the natural beauty that awed me daily into something deeper and more profound.
The GUS faculty began our school year with a workshop on place-based education led by David Sobel, a writer, professor, and leader in the field. Our summer reading was Sobel's book Place-Based Education: Connecting Classrooms and Communities, and our day-long workshop brought us together as a professional community to look at how we could expand upon our practice of place-based education. Sobel spoke to how we might discover new "affordances"—opportunities for activity and study—in the rich natural laboratory we call our campus. He described the GUS campus, quite favorably, as a Bullerby, a Norwegian term for "noisy village," a characterization made popular in a series of books written by Astrid Lindgren in the late 1940s. The Bullerby model Sobel referenced is an environment in which children have a multitude of opportunities to move freely and independently, and to engage with built and natural affordances. It's an apt description for our rich GUS campus, where students build large forts and tiny fairy houses; concoct "potions" made of grass, dirt, stones, twigs, and water; climb, run, and jump on playground structures; play basketball, gaga, soccer, and four-square; conduct scientific research on our nature trail; and find quiet spaces for contemplation, reflection, and journaling, all in a single day.
For GUS faculty and students, our campus is our laboratory, enmeshed in and inextricable from our place-based, thematic curriculum. Our school was built on this premise, that our 23-acre campus, and the North Shore at large, would be our curriculum's primary sources for learning. Our spiraling themes emerge from our land, ensuring that the essential questions that frame a year's study in each grade are always tied to our place and provide students with endless opportunities for hands-on, experiential learning. After visiting our school and spending the day with our faculty, David Sobel commented, "It's rare to find a school like Glen Urquhart that takes such full advantage of the natural and cultural resources in Beverly, Cape Ann, and the wider world of New England. This conscious attention to connecting students with their places helps them become active citizens and preservers of their natural and cultural heritage."
We are immensely proud of the work our faculty does each day to fulfill our mission. We have been doing this work at GUS for 40 years, and feel affirmed when we see other educational institutions following our lead. We see public and independent schools on the North Shore dipping their toes into nature-based education now, and we benefit from research conducted in higher education about the value of this type of educational approach. Harvard Project Zero, where GUS faculty attend workshops yearly, advocates for educators to help students develop "critical thinking mindsets" that "shape and cultivate" multiple intelligences. These mindsets include: wondering, problem finding, and investigating; building explanations and understandings; making plans and being strategic; being intellectually careful; seeking and evaluating reasons; and being metacognitive.
International education researchers at Harvard have recently developed a curriculum called "Empowering Global Citizens: A World Course," with the aim to "give young people the knowledge they need to approach the future with a dynamic, accountable, forward-thinking mindset." The curriculum is thematic, and grows by year with the children to provide "an ever-widening, deepening view of the world, from cultures, government, and geography to the environment, entrepreneurship, and values." With themes such as "Our World is Diverse and Beautiful," in kindergarten; "How Values and Identities Shape People and Institutions," in sixth grade; and "Migration," in eighth grade; this Harvard-developed "Curriculum for Changing the World" sounds remarkably similar to the spiraling one developed by Lynne Warren and the founding GUS educators in 1977.
As we wrap up our eighth week of school, our students have already engaged in a myriad of projects that connected them to the land and their community—both on and beyond the GUS campus—and provided opportunities to deepen and expand their subject area studies. Here are a few examples of place-based education in action during these earliest weeks of our school year:
The 2nd and 7th grades have been collaborating and finding points of overlap in their Tree Study units. With the guidance of Dan Mayer, a GUS parent and the president of Mayer Tree Service, in Essex, 2nd and 7th graders set out on the GUS campus to identify trees and learn about their characteristics, as well as potential threats and diseases, like tar spots on Maple trees. Students worked in small, cross-grade groups to "adopt" a tree and come up with a few specific questions to ask Mr. Mayer in order to better understand their tree. The 2nd graders designed brochures about their tree and were inspired to write a play about the life cycle of a tree, complete with characters, music, and handmade costumes. Together, the 2nd and 7th graders picked crab apples from some of our trees and made crab apple jelly, which they served on crackers to students and faculty. Soon they'll embark on a project to label our trees, using both the scientific and Latin names, with assistance from Cori Russo, our Latin teacher. Seventh graders will pursue further tree study by measuring the circumference and diameter of trees on our nature trail, data they will contribute to the Harvard Forest project. They were also able to apply their work with trees to their study of variables, outliers, averages, and graphing in math class with Ms. Twombly—picking up some new skills in Google Sheets in the process.
The 3rd grade began preparations in September for their unit on Medieval Times, which occurs at the end of the school year, by planting wheat in a raised bed, their new medieval garden. Just as kindergarteners learn about wheat in September as part of their study of food, the 3rd graders learn about rural farming communities in the present day, as well as in medieval times. They intend to harvest their wheat in the spring, to experience the process of deriving grain from wheat and to better understand the type of work people did in medieval times. The 3rd graders have also used their wheat planting for science and literacy work.They also planted wheat in a classroom tray and in a plastic bag, so they can witness the germination process and record a nonfiction text of their observations. This winter, they will start medieval plant and herb seedlings in the GUS greenhouse, to transplant in the spring to their medieval garden. This hands-on work allows 3rd graders to make the abstract aspects of medieval times more concrete, relatable, and close to home.
Fifth graders volunteered this fall with The Food Project, joining the volunteers at their Wenham farm to learn more about how people use the land for food and to help other people. The Food Project is the perfect organization to deepen 5th graders' year-long study of "The Land," and the students enjoyed a work-filled morning of farm chores and learning about how The Food Project gives low-income families greater access to fresh fruits and vegetables. The 5th grade teachers designed a math project to help the students understand why fresh produce is a precious commodity for some families. Having just completed a unit on addition and subtraction of decimals, and poised to begin a unit on long division, 5th graders conducted some research on SNAP benefits and the families who qualify to receive them. They learned that the average family of three on SNAP benefits (or food stamps) makes about $10,000 in yearly income. Students employed their new math skills to calculate that, considering such monthly expenses as rent, electricity, phone, water, and bus fare, the average SNAP family has about $40 per week for food: $10 from their own income and $30 from SNAP benefits. Students then used Shaws circulars to determine how they could prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a family of three on $40 per week. The exercise helped students realize the value of The Food Project's service to their community and the preciousness of fresh produce, something many of us take for granted. Some students were inspired to see if their own family could go one week with spending only $40 on groceries. Not only did this project lead to more math questions, like How do you calculate the amount of money spent per person per week?, it also led to sophisticated questions about privilege, access, environmental justice, and basic human rights.
Recently, I asked my daughter why she liked learning about wheat and about the topic that followed, apples. "Because one day we got to go and pick apples," she responded. "We waited so long to go to the apple orchard and then we finally went, and a lady showed us how to grind the apples and make juice, and cider, and apple pancakes."
What brings a smile to my face, as both a parent and an educator, is seeing how academic skills and place-based experiences come together at GUS to plant the seed in my daughter that will lead to her wanting to know about her community, how she impacts it, and what she can do, one day, to make the world a better place.

Can employment check hurt my credit score?
Dear James,
Is an employment check of my credit history logged on my credit report? Does this go against me as another credit check?
Alli, York
Dear Alli,
Whenever your credit report is accessed to help grant credit, confirm your identity, assess your suitability for a job, give you a credit quote or even to supply a copy to you, a record is kept. We call these previous searches or footprints and they basically mean that when you check your own report you can see who has been looking at it, when and why. Importantly, the only type of footprint that is often fed into credit scoring is the type created by you applying for credit (called 'credit application footprints'). Other types of footprint, such as one created by you applying for a job, do not count and cannot affect your credit rating. The reason lenders sometimes use credit application footprints when calculating credit scores is that a large number of this type of footprint in a short space of time can, along with other indicators, highlight financial stress or in some cases fraud. You can avoid collecting a worrying number of credit application footprints by spacing out your credit applications and, when you're shopping around for credit, by only agreeing to a credit check once you have decided on the best deal. If the interest rate they'll charge is linked to your credit score then ask them to give you a quote making sure that this will only involve a quotation footprint being registered on your credit report. (March 2012)

While regional markets calmed down after the shock of the yuan devaluations last week, the longer-term impact is likely to be one of increased uncertainty among investors.
After the three rounds of devaluation last week, which sent the yuan down by 3 per cent, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) raised the rate last Friday in a bid to stabilise the currency - to send the message that it will intervene if market volatility becomes too excessive.
By the weekend, Asian markets had regained their composure after the scare over the yuan devaluations. The MSCI Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) index lost 2.7 per cent last week, but the Shanghai Composite was up 0.27 per cent last Friday.
Singapore's benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) also rose for the second straight day last Friday, up by 0.73 per cent to 3,114.25, trimming its five-day drop to 2.58 per cent.
"For now at least, the markets have absorbed the direct impact from PBOC's adjustments. But this event could be the black swan that will hold sentiments back just as investors are getting ready for a September (US) rate hike," CMC Markets analyst Nicholas Teo told The Straits Times.
Remisier Desmond Leong is also not optimistic: "Two weeks ago, the STI already went below the trend line... which is an indicator we use to track the market troughs.
"The two-day rebound was likely just technical and, with both China and Singapore showing weak economic figures, we may see the index testing the 3,000 level in the near term."
Earlier this month, China reported a surprise drop of 8.3 per cent in July exports - which many saw as a reason for the yuan devaluations. In Singapore, the Ministry of Trade and Industry narrowed the growth forecast for this year to 2 per cent to 2.5 per cent, down from the previous 2 per cent to 4 per cent range, to reflect the global headwinds.
Local investors have also found little to cheer about from the recent season of corporate results.
Among the sectors which are finding it tough, offshore and marine companies may still not yet have seen the worst of it, with the United States crude benchmark West Texas Intermediate plunging to a six-year low last week.
As oil prices show fresh signs of weakening, Ezion Holdings last Friday reported a 36.3 per cent decline in its second-quarter net profit to US$28.96 million (S$40.7 million). This followed a year-on-year profit decline reported by both Keppel Corp and Sembcorp Marine earlier.
All three stocks remain in a downward slide. Over the past month, shares of Keppel Corp lost 10 per cent, Sembcorp Marine dropped 7 per cent, and Ezion slid 23 per cent.
Blue-chip property developer City Developments (CDL) last Thursday also reported that its second-quarter profit dropped 3.2 per cent to $133.5 million. The announcement came after CDL's shares hit a new 52-week low last week at $8.80 as investors sold down on the persistent uncertainties surrounding the local property market.
"There are currently more than 6,122 private residential units that have been launched and unsold, and potentially 12,139 units that are yet to be launched in Singapore. We expect the excess supply of units in the market to continue," PhillipCapital said in a recent note.
The quarter ahead is offering few reasons for investors to be confident, CMC Markets' Mr Teo cautioned.
"The corporate earnings reported so far broadly showed that the bottom line remained healthy as a result of effective financial management, which is good to have.
"But top-line growth - actual business growth - has not picked up, and investors are apprehensive about that."

Tell all your customers that you plan to use social media in your marketing campaign.

In order to get the most out of social media in terms of marketing, add social network widgets to your page. You can find lots of followers to your site by placing a widget on it. A widget will also let the visitors share your page directly from your site.
Allow your customers to follow you on a variety of social networks. The majority of Internet users make good use of social media sites daily. It only makes sense to set up your website so that Twitter, LinkedIn and FaceBook users can connect with you easily and see all your comments.
When dealing with social media marketing, don't be shy about asking for help. This will help you to tap into the expertise of some of the best designers and consultants in the business. You might have to throw down a little bit of money, but this is an investment that will pay off in the long run.
You can combine email marketing along with social media. When you send out a marketing email, be sure to include links to your Facebook and Twitter pages at the end of the email. Encouraging the people who buy from you and visit your website to sign up for your newsletter as another way to market your business.
Tag each of your posts on Twitter to improve your following. Hashtags are used to collect groups of tweets all pertaining to the same topic so that users can follow everything pertaining to that idea. Figure out a way to cater to your audience and you should see big difference in your success levels.
If you don't already have a Yahoo account, make one so you can go through Yahoo Answers. This feature on Yahoo enables users to ask questions, and then receive answers from fellow users. Search snapchat marketing for questions that concern your niche, business, products or services, and submit answers to help users. You night also mention your product in your answer if it is allowed.

The possibilities are practically endless, and you can always benefit from different insight. Employ the techniques here, to be on your way to great success in your marketing efforts.

Some writers find dialogue difficult. I've even seen new writers avoid dialogue with the overuse of reported speech. But the best way to tackle dialogue is to tackle dialogue.
Listen to people out on the street or in cafes and tune into how they speak. Notice how they don't always use full sentences. How they interrupt each other and how two people are distinct from each other, regardless of the sound of their voice, but just in the pattern of their speech and the words they use. Next watch TV, especially soap operas or dramas, if you want contemporary, everyday speech. Turn to films for more stylised dialogue, unless you go for someone like Ken Loach or Mike Leigh. Take a look at authors whose dialogue you admire. What are they doing and how do they do it?
Writing Prompt: Take a dialogue scene you're struggling with or just want to improve. Now turn it into a screenplay or radio play, or any type of script. Strip away all description and steer away from any stage direction or dialogue notes, such as 'said angrily'. Make the dialogue work harder. It should stand on its own to convey the emotions and thoughts of your characters, as well as giving an indication of setting. Make your characters' voices distinct from each other. When you are finished, turn the scene back into prose, adding action and visual texture.

Q: Is Nepal safe enough for tourist to travel?
Yes. In the past, Nepal has experienced political unrest, however since November of 2006, the signed Nepal Peace Agreement, between the Government of Nepal and the Nepal Communist Party (Maoists) has brought this unrest to a close.
Q: Which is the best time to visit Nepal?
The best season to visit Nepal is after the monsoons that end in August until mid-December, before the winter sets in. Also, from mid-February to early June are the most preferred months by visitors. During these two periods, the rains wash the dusty tracks and the valley looks magnificent with blooming flowers. Mountain views are clear most of the time. It is humid in plains at this time but it is still better than the scorching heat of the summer.
It is best to visit hilly areas in summer; that is, the months of May and June. The average temperature at that time is around 22-25 degrees Celsius. Nights are a bit chilly in the lower Himalayan region but are comfortable. Mountainous areas are extremely unsafe during the monsoon season, which are very common. The persistent rains make the hilly tracts slippery.
In winter, most of the hilly areas become threats due to very heavy snowfall and avalanches, but if you are fond of snowfall then you can opt for the lower Himalayan regions that look beautiful covered in blankets of snow.
Q: Is it important to take any vaccines?
You should contact your general practitioner or travel clinic for the latest travel health advice. It is advisable to be up-to-date with Tetanus, Polio, Typhoid, and Hepatitis A vaccination shots. If you are extending your stay in Nepal you may need anti-malarial protection.
Q: Do I need travel insurance?
It is necessary to have travel insurance for all clients to take in any tour. It should provide adequate protection for the full duration of the tour to cover personal injury, medical expenses, repatriation expenses, helicopter evacuation, loss of luggage, etc. You can arrange this yourself or through Apex Himalaya in Nepal. The coverage per day is $15 dollars per person.
You must advise your insurer that you are going on a trek at relatively high altitudes and that your cover needs to include air evacuation and repatriation. A copy of your insurance document should be sent to us prior to coming to Nepal.
Q: Do you have an airport pick-service?
Yes we do. If requested prior to your arrival, we can arrange for our airport representative to greet you outside the Terminal Hall. She/he will be holding an 'Apex Himalaya' sign with your name on it. Upon arrival, you will be taken to your hotel.
Q: How much shall I bring & where can I exchange my money?
You can exchange in Nepal, primarily in Kathmandu and in Pokhara. It really depends on your budget and what you want to do and for how long but approximately $500-$1700 in either travelers' cheques or cash for your trip would be sufficient. ATM cards and credit cards can be used in Kathmandu Pokhara and other cities if additional cash needed. You will need $30 for the tourist visa fee (can receive visa upon entry) at the Kathmandu International Airport. You must pay only in cash in U.S. dollars or Euros. It is advisable to exchange your money either on your first day or the day after while you are in Kathmandu at a reliable money exchange counter.
Q: Why Should I trek with an agency?
Trekking with an agency can be worthwhile for those who are on a very tight schedule but not on money. A trekking agency can organize a trek for you at affordable costs, which includes food, accommodations, transportation, porters and guides. To receive trekking permits and TIMS cards, clients must go through a trekking agency for issuing and ensuring a safe and legalized trek or tour.
Q: Does your company provide a TIMS card?
Q: Should I need to be totally fit in order to trek?
If you are reasonably fit and enjoy walking you will find trekking suits you. Normally the shorter treks tend to be easier whilst the longer ones often require a better standard of fitness. It is important to remember, however, that trekking requires an adequate level of physical conditioning. To prepare yourself for a trek, especially a difficult one that lasts two weeks or more, some moderate physical exercise is recommended before you embark on your journey such as walking, running swimming, or hiking. It is also worth remembering you can choose the pace and direction of your trek.
*Any person suffering from a pre-existing medical condition or diseases must seek medical advice before considering any trek.
Q: What is the general duration of treks?
The duration of the trek depends on the region of the trek and on interests which each client has. Generally speaking, treks can range from 2-3 days to a month's time or sometimes longer periods if trekkers' wish. Even the same trek can be of a different duration for different trekkers depending on their wishes and interests on the route.
Q: What do we get to experience in a trek?
You will mostly be on well-maintained trekking routes that consist of dirt trails. The terrain on some of these trails may be long, steep climbs or descents as well as rocky, dusty paths and forest tracks. There are also a lot of big stone steps and staircases especially on the Annapurna circuit. In some cases, treks include mountain passes so the trail can be narrow in places. You will feel a moderate altitude effect starting at around 3,000 m upwards.
Q: Is it necessary to use a trekking guide?
There is no compulsion to use a guide while trekking in Nepal. However, no matter how experienced or fit you are at outdoor activities, it is important to have a good orientation to a new area, especially if you go trekking. We highly recommend every guest to use our trained guides so that guests can easily and safely complete their trek. We believe that having a qualified trekking guide is a minimum safety requirement and can also enhance your enjoyment and understanding of the region as they act as a companion and interpreter. Our trekking guides are well-versed in a variety of foreign languages including English and take full responsibility of everything during a trek or expedition.
Q: What else should I be bringing in a trek?
Most of what you need during a trek is available in Kathmandu, and you can buy them or rent them once you are there. Most books on trekking will list them; check one out before you embark on your trek. If you do not have a book yet and plan to get one only once you are in Nepal, there are some things you may want to bring from home. Bring ear-plugs to help you sleep in spite of barking dogs. A battery operated short-wave radio can be helpful to listen to weather reports or the news. Also bring along a pocket knife, sunscreen, bug spray, sunglasses, photographic equipment, binoculars, a compass, a good watch with possibly an altimeter, and a day pack. Others, you can buy or rent in Kathmandu for reasonable price.
Q: When I go for treks, can I store my luggage somewhere?
Generally your hotel or lodge will let you store your luggage with them for some nominal or no fee. As long as you lock up your bags, they are normally safe.
Q: What is the weather & temperature like while trekking?
The weather can be unpredictable in the mountains. However, at night it is generally cold and the days are generally warm. If it is raining at the base of the mountain, it will be snowing at the top of its peak. There will be heavy snowfall during the months of December and February. It is important that you stay warm and dry in just about any condition. Temperatures could be as high as 20 degrees C and as low as -10 degrees C.
Q: What are the accommodations like on a trek?
Along the trekking routes, tea-houses and lodges generally provide basic clean facilities with a mattress and a quilt or blanket. We can also offer you sleeping bags if needed (which need to be returned after your trip) but it is a good idea to have your own sleeping equipment if possible. Accommodations have private rooms with twin beds that may be used for double or single occupancy. Tea-houses have an adjoining dining room around a fire burning stove. You may take a hot shower but need to ask them to boil the water.
Q: Do you think it is safe to eat freely in Nepal?
In general, yes. But, it's always good to take sensible precautions in order to avoid any health problems. No matter how tempting --and it can get very tempting after a long trek- avoid drinking any other water than bottled water. If you have to drink non-bottled water, purify it with iodine or chlorine tablets (available readily in most drug stores in Kathmandu). Asking for bottled water in restaurants is always a best idea.
Do not eat roadside food that is exposed in the open air. Avoid buying and eating raw and unpeeled fruit and vegetables. Other than that, it is fine to have boiled, fried or properly packaged food items. Read the FAQ on Health and Insurance for details on what to do in case of health problems.
Q: What is Altitude Sickness?
Altitude Sickness is the effect of altitude on those who ascent too rapidly to elevations above 3,000 meters. The basic early symptoms of altitude sickness are headache, loss of appetite and sleeplessness. One shouldn't ignore these early symptoms as these symptoms may lead to more serious warnings and cause death sometimes within few hours. Medicine is no substitute for descent. If a doctor is available, he may give medicine and oxygen. However, the patient must go down to lower altitude even if treatment is given.
Q: If I suffer from altitude sickness or any kind of sickness, what should I do?
First of all, your trekking guide will provide you with First Aid. If the case becomes more serious, you will be transferred to a health post where you can consult with a doctor. For acute sickness, at your request, you will be immediately taken down by helicopter or airplane to Kathmandu for treatment and rest. It is strongly recommended to descend from the mountain if you are suffering severely from altitude sickness.
Q: What is your cancellation policy and terms of conditions?
If our clients are unable to make their trip or want to cancel their trip due to any unavoidable circumstances, Apex Himalaya can only refund 65% of the deposited amount. However, clients can postpone their travel date or make slight modifications to their original travel itinerary free of cost if given proper notice. Please see our Terms of Conditions for further details.
Q: Which documents do I need to bring with me?
You should bring a valid passport (must be valid for up to 6 months after you return from your tour; keep an extra photocopy just in case), a copy of your travel insurance, cash and traveler's checks (keep numbers and proof of purchase separately); flight tickets, emergency contact numbers of T/C's, banks, insurance and family members and any medications.

Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna feeling 'weird,' mentally off
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna says he is out of sorts mentally, feeling "anxious" and "weird." And that is why he was unavailable to pitch Friday.
"I really don't know how to explain it. ... I feel like I'm lost a little bit right now," he said before Saturday's game against Kansas City.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons did not use the 22-year-old reliever when the Royals scored four runs in the ninth off three relievers to win 5-4. Gibbons says Osuna was "just not feeling well." He did not elaborate.
"I feel great physically. It's just more mentally," Osuna said through an interpreter. "I feel a little bit anxious, a little bit weird. I feel like I'm not myself right now."
He says he has never experienced this sensation before during his career. Paddy Steinford, the Blue Jays' mental performance coach who travels with the team, has been working with Osuna to overcome his anxiety.
"This has nothing to do with me being on the field," Osuna said. "I feel great out there. It's just when I'm not on the field that I feel weird and a little bit lost. I wish I knew how to get out of this. We're working on it. We're trying to find ways to make me feel better. But, to be honest, I just don't know.
Osuna has 19 saves this season and is the youngest player in major league history to record 75 saves. He was uncertain whether he could pitch Saturday.
"I'm going to try, but nothing is for sure," he said. "We'll see."

Hollywood's biggest night is just around the corner. This year's Academy Award-nominated films include both mainstream blockbusters and darkly-themed foreign and independent movies. Ray Suarez talks with New York Times film critic A.O. Scott about why this a "good year for mainstream movies that grownups might want to go see."
Read the Full Transcript
Finally tonight: an assessment of the state of movies and the state of the business, as Hollywood gets set to congratulate itself with the Academy Awards this Sunday.
By and large, this was a year where the nine films nominated for best picture arguably generated more critical praise than usual and several proved to be solid commercial hits. Some also generated plenty of controversy — controversy, too, including "Zero Dark Thirty," "Lincoln,, "Argo," "Django Unchained."
Tony Scott of The New York Times has been writing and reviewing these films, plus hundreds of others. He joins us now.
Tony, was this an unusually good year to go to the movies, and does that make it an unusually hard year to pick winners?
A.O. SCOTT, The New York Times:
I think it was a good year.
I mean, I think there's so many different kinds of movies that come out in every year that it's sometimes hard to rank them. I think it was a very good year for mainstream movies that grownups might want to go see. There's been sort of a knock against the Hollywood studios for the last decade or so that they're mostly interested in teenagers, in action franchises for the international marketplace, in sequels and superheroes and so on.
This year, a lot of movies, "Lincoln," "Life of Pi," "Les Miserables," "Zero Dark Thirty," came from the big studios, found audiences, and as well as a lot of critical acclaim. So I think it is a strong year for the kind of movies that we were accustomed to seeing around Oscar time in decades past, but maybe haven't been as thick on the ground recently.
Ah, around Oscar time. Might this be part of what some critics see as a gaming of the calendar, the concentration of what you would call movies grownups want to see around the time that would make them Oscar-eligible?
There's no question about that.
And I think it is a distorting affect that the Academy Awards and the whole phenomenon of the awards season and the awards campaign has had. That is, for the first nine months of the year, there's very little for grownups to go and see, and critics find themselves falling into despair, wondering, are the movies dead, is it all over, where are the great movies of yesteryear?
And then around the time of the Toronto Film Festival in September, all of a sudden, these very ambitious and creative and interesting and serious-minded movies pop up, and they kind of overwhelm the multiplexes for a while. And so there's a great kind of famine in the first part of the year, and then the last three months, there's a big feast.
And that certainly happened this year. I mean, with the exception, I guess, of "Beasts of the Southern Wild," an indie movie that came out of Sundance and was released in the late spring early summer, all of the movies that we have been talking about, "Lincoln," "Argo," "Zero Dark Thirty," "Django Unchained," right down the list, came out in October, November, December.
So they definitely kind of clog up the system. And that's all about the prestige and the hoped-for box office bounce that awards consideration will bring.
Some were gripping, beautifully acted, beautifully shot, but they deal with some tough themes, don't they, I mean, slavery and revenge, emancipation, torture, mental illness. There's a lot of darkness there, isn't there, among the nine nominees?
Yes, there certainly is.
And there's a lot of sort of tough and interesting political themes as well, slavery, terrorism and torture, as well as some very painful personal stories. One of my favorite movies, the French language-film "Amour," is a really devastating drama about an elderly couple and how they deal with the wife's decline.
And I was — I was amazed and impressed that that actually got not just the nomination for best foreign language film, but for others as well. But there is — you know, there's a comedy in the mix, "Silver Linings Playbook," which, yes, does deal with mental illness, but in a very, I think, Hollywood-friendly, lighthearted, affirming way. It's a romantic comedy really in the screwball tradition.
I think there's also "Life of Pi" and "Les Miserables," which gives something to fans of sort of spiritual splendor and musical spectacle. So there's quite a range. A few years ago, the Academy opened up the best picture field to allow for more than the traditional five nominees so, now we have nine that represents a pretty nice spectrum of what movies are today and what the American film industry at least thinks is worth recognizing.
So, who do you like for best picture, quickly, before we go?
I think it's going to be "Argo." I think that "Argo" has kind of marched through the guilds. If you had asked me six weeks ago, I would have said "Lincoln." But it's looking like it will be "Argo"'s night, although not Ben Affleck's, because he's not nominated for best director. I think that one will probably still go to Steven Spielberg.
Tony Scott of The New York Times, thanks a lot.
Pleasure, Ray.

But you can call me Chlo.
And I think that getting dressed should feel a lot more like playing dress up than drudgery and that there's much more to love about ourselves than we often decide to notice.
This is a space for me to share what's inspiring, challenging, and captivating me lately, and, as always, what I'm wearing during my discoveries (most of which don't involve leaving the house).
I'm glad to have you here! Feel free to say hi back!
