Depth-first search is a straightforward algorithm for visiting the nodes of a tree or tree-like data structure.
Here's how you might implement it in Python:
def search(node): for child in children(node): search(child)
This works well in many cases, but it has a couple of problems:1
It descends the tree by recursing, and so it uses as many levels of stack as the depth of the deepest node in the tree. But Python's call stack is limited in size (see
sys.getrecursionlimit) and so deep enough trees will run out of call stack and fail with "RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded."
If you'd like to be able to stop the search part way through and return a result (for example returning a target node as soon as you find it), then this requires a slightly awkward change to the code. You could add logic for exiting the recursion:
def search(node): if target(node): return node for child in children(node): result = search(child) if result is not None: return result
or you could return the result non-locally using an exception:
class Found(Exception): pass def search(node): if target(node): raise Found(node) for child in children(node): search(child)
or you could rewrite the search to use generators:2
def search(node): if target(node): yield node for child in children(node): yield from search(child)
and then the caller can call
The problems can be avoided using the stack of iterators design pattern.3
def search(root): stack = [iter([root])] while stack: for node in stack[-1]: stack.append(iter(children(node))) break else: stack.pop()
This avoids the problems above:
Lists can grow without limit, unlike the function call stack.
Since there's no recursion, you can just return when you have a result:
def search(root): stack = [iter([root])] while stack: for node in stack[-1]: if target(node): return node stack.append(iter(children(node))) break else: stack.pop()
The control flow here might seem a bit tricky if you're not used to the way that Python's
for ... else construct interacts with
break. The pattern works by maintaining a stack of iterators that remember the position reached in the iteration over the children of the node at each level of the search. After pushing a new iterator on the stack, the
break exits the
for loop, bypasses the
else: clause, and goes round the
while loop again, so that it picks up the new iterator from
stack[-1]. When there are no more children in the current iteration, the
for loop exits via the
else: clause and pops the stack. Then the next iteration of the
while loop picks up the iteration at the previous level from where it left off.
Three examples. First, finding a key in a possibly nested dictionary:4
def search(d, key, default=None): """Return a value corresponding to the specified key in the (possibly nested) dictionary d. If there is no item with that key, return default. """ stack = [iter(d.items())] while stack: for k, v in stack[-1]: if isinstance(v, dict): stack.append(iter(v.items())) break elif k == key: return v else: stack.pop() return default
Second, finding a simple path visiting a set of positions on a grid:5
def hamilton_path(start, positions, directions=((0, 1), (1, 0), (0, -1), (-1, 0))): """Find a simple path that visits all positions. start: tuple(int, int) Starting position for the path. positions: iterable of tuple(int, int) Iterable of positions to be visited by the path. directions: iterable of tuple(int, int) Iterable of directions to take at each step. Return the path as a list of tuple(int, int) giving the order in which the positions are visited. Raise ValueError if there are no paths visiting all positions. """ positions = set(positions) directions = list(directions) path = [start] stack = [iter(directions)] while path: x, y = path[-1] for dx, dy in stack[-1]: pos = x + dx, y + dy if pos in positions: path.append(pos) positions.remove(pos) stack.append(iter(directions)) if not positions: return path break else: positions.add(path.pop()) stack.pop() raise ValueError("no path")
Third, finding the minimum sum of values along path from the root to a leaf in a tree:6
def min_path_sum(root): """Return minimum sum of values of path from root to a leaf.""" min_sum = float('inf') current_path = [0] current_sum = 0 stack = [iter([root])] while stack: for node in stack[-1]: current_path.append(node.value) current_sum += node.value children = [n for n in (node.left, node.right) if n] stack.append(iter(children)) if not children: min_sum = min(min_path, current_sum) break else: current_sum -= current_path.pop() stack.pop() return min_path
I'm not the first to discover this pattern. After writing this article I found the 2009 post Detecting Cycles in a Directed Graph by Guido van Rossum. He leaves the full details, including the stack of iterators itself, as an exercise for the reader, but it's clear that his technique is essentially the same as in the presentation above, including the combination of
for ... else with
A close cousin of the pattern appears in the 2013 post Stack-based graph traversal ≠ depth first search by David Eppstein. His version uses
try ... except instead of
for ... else and
break but the core idea is the same.7
↩ Originally I mentioned a third problem and corresponding benefit, but even though it was the least important and interesting of the three, it led to an influx of comments all disputing this point and ignoring the rest of the article. Accordingly, I've rewritten this to remove the contentious point, and deleted all the argumentative comments. Hopefully the interesting material will be clearer without the distraction.
↩ This requires Python 3.3 or later in order to be able to use the
yield from statement.
↩ In software, a design pattern is a technique for working around a defect or omission in a particular programming language. For example, the well-known singleton pattern is a work-around for the lack of global variables in the Java language. In the case of the stack of iterators pattern, the defects in Python that we are working around are (1) stack size is bounded; and (2) there is no mechanism for returning from an enclosing scope: that is, nothing like
return-from in Common Lisp.
↩ Example adapted from this answer on Code Review Stack Exchange.

↩ Eppstein's version of the pattern is:
def search(root): stack = [iter([root])] while stack: try: node = next(stack[-1]) stack.append(iter(children(node))) except StopIteration: stack.pop()
which is fine if you know that
children(node) cannot raise
StopIteration, but in the general case I would prefer to write:
def search(root): stack = [iter([root])] while stack: try: node = next(stack[-1]) except StopIteration: stack.pop() else: stack.append(iter(children(node)))

I feel blessed to work alongside such talented crafty friends. Here is the photo of our fall swap from our October card club. These are the goodies I brought home:
And here is a photo of the project we made. It's a fun box (and has yummy M&Ms inside!) I added a black handle/ribbon when I returned home:
Kent and I are enjoying his time off from work post his deployment return. We ventured last week to the Ickworth House. It had a beautiful rotunda welcoming us, lovely landscape, footpaths, flowers, a pond, and a church. In the basement of the building we had a tour guide. It felt like we were on an episode of Downton Abbey as we explored what life would have been like. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

The Chili Peppers
Bhut Jolokia
Bhut Jolokia / Naga (also known as ghost chili, BiH Jolokia, Naga Jolokia, Naga Morich ) is a chili pepper growing in Bangladesh, northeastern India and Sri Lanka. It was in 2007 confirmed by Guinness Book Of Record as the strongest chili pepper in the world and measured up to over a million on The Scoville Scale. It has a nice fruity citrus flavor and goes really well with our pineapple sweet, Den Rå/The Raw.
Trinidad Scorpion Moruga has its origins in the district Moruga in Trinidad and Tobago, hence the name. It often develops a small pointy tail in the end of the fruit hence the name Scorpion. In 2012, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion was confirmed as the world's hottest chilli and surpassed the rival, Bhut Jolokia with its 1,900,000 SHU on the Scoville scale . However, it is far from all the fruits which ends up so strong, but the average fruit is when ripe, still up around 1.2 million SHU - which is more than enough to give our candy an incredible strength . This chili has a bit darker fruit flavor and with its power and strength, we think it goes really well with our licorice candy.
Carolina Reaper
The Carolina Reaper, is a cultivar of chili pepper of the Capsicum chinense species. Bred in a Rock Hill, South Carolina greenhouse by Ed Currie, who runs the PuckerButt Pepper Company in Fort Mill, South Carolina, it has been rated as the world's hottest chili pepper by Guinness World Records since August 7, 2013. The original crossbreed was between a Bhut Jolokia ( ghost pepper ) (a former world record holder) and a red habanero. It averages a 1,569,300 on the Scoville scale with peak levels of over 2,200,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
Examples of Scoville values:
Paprika: 0 til 100 scoville
Jalapenos: 2.500 til 10.000 scoville
Cayenne pepper: 30.000 til 50.000 scoville
Habaneros: 200.000 til 300.000 scoville
Bhut Jolokia/Naga 1.001.304 scoville
Trinidad Moruga scorpion: 1.900.000 scoville
Carolina Reaper: 2.200.000 scoville

Top>Opinion>The Role of Japanese Companies in Global Society
Tomonori Inukai [profile]
Tomonori Inukai
Associate Professor, Chuo Graduate School of Strategic Management, Chuo University
Area of Specialization: Business Administration
The purpose of this article is to give a brief overview of the debate on global management that has taken place since 2000, and then consider the ideal form of global management for Japanese companies to conduct.
Research into global management has thrown up two conflicting concepts for understanding the current globalization of business management. These concepts are (1) flattening and (2) semi-globalization.
It was the economic journalist and three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas Friedman who first put forward the idea of the world undergoing flattening. The flattening that he advocated refers to the development of a level playing field in the global marketplace where, due to the standardization of competitive conditions, companies or individuals from all countries can compete equally without distinction between developed nations and emerging nations.
Conversely, Pankaj Ghemawat of Harvard Business School has insisted that the world is far from flat and that companies must take into account regional variations such as long-established cultural differences, institutional differences, and geopolitical conditions in order to achieve a competitive advantage.
Rather than conflicting with one other per se, these two assertions are in fact just complementary viewpoints emphasizing two different aspects of the same phenomenon. While Friedman focuses on the relative progress of globalization now compared with ten years ago, Ghemawat turns his attention to the degree of absolute globalization. A more intuitive way of understanding the difference between the two assertions is to imagine a cup of water; Friedman emphasizes the significant change when water is poured into an almost empty cup up to the 10% mark, whereas Ghemawat emphasizes the fact that this volume of water is far from a cupful. In other words, deriving from both arguments, global management has progressed dramatically over the past decade but, as an absolute standard, it has yet to progress to 10% of a completely flat state along various evaluation axes.
Based on this awareness of the current situation, let's look now at the global management of Japanese companies. Preempting my conclusion, Japanese global management does not seem to be responding adequately whichever of the above viewpoints we take. Let me explain why there has been an inadequate response from both viewpoints.
As I have stated here, most Japanese companies do not seem to be responding sufficiently to either the flattening or the semi-globalization of business. When I look at companies currently struggling with globalization, they appear to be rushing around ineffectively, following rules that are stacked against them, and obsessed with the idea of having to globalize. I hope that students interested in global management will, based on an understanding of the current situation described in this article, look more deeply into the ideal form of global management that Japanese companies should adopt.

Side 24 - The hills Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun,— the vales Stretching in pensive quietness between; The venerable woods— rivers that move In majesty, and the complaining brooks That make the meadows green; and, poured round all, Old Ocean's gray and melancholy waste,— Are but the solemn decorations all Of the great tomb of man.
Side 104 - Whom mortals call the Moon, Glides glimmering o'er my fleece-like floor, By the midnight breezes strewn; And wherever the beat of her unseen feet, Which only the angels hear, May have broken the woof of my tent's thin roof, The stars peep behind her and peer; And I laugh to see them whirl and flee, Like a swarm of golden bees...
Side 102 - To where thy sky-born glories burn, And, as his springing steps advance, Catch war and vengeance from the glance.
Side 24 - Nor in the embrace of ocean shall exist Thy image. Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again...
Side 24 - So live, that when thy summons comes, to join The innumerable caravan, that moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon; but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
Side 103 - Over the lakes and the plains, Wherever he dream , under mountain or stream, The Spirit he loves remains; And I all the while bask in heaven's blue smile, Whilst he is dissolving in rains. The sanguine sunrise, with his meteor eyes, And his burning plumes outspread, Leaps on the back of my sailing rack, When the morning star shines dead.
Side 145 - AH ! who can tell how hard it is to climb The steep where Fame's proud temple shines afar; Ah! who can tell how many a soul sublime Has felt the influence of malignant star, And waged with Fortune an eternal war; Check'd by the scoff of Pride, by Envy's frown, And Poverty's unconquerable bar, In life's low vale remote has pined alone, Then dropt into the grave, unpitied and unknown...

Side 23 - She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beauty, and she glides Into his darker musings with a mild And healing sympathy, that steals away Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts Of the last bitter hour come like a blight Over thy spirit, and sad images Of the stern agony and shroud and pall, And breathless darkness and the narrow house...
Side 23 - Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall, And breathless darkness, and the narrow house, Make thee to shudder and grow sick at heart, Go forth under the open sky, and list To Nature's teachings, while from all around — Earth, and her waters, and the depths of air — Comes a still voice...

I've often heard people comment (in real life, not so much in the blog) about spending time, about how much of it is consumed by hobbies and why there's never enough of it for exercise or eating healthier.
How do you always find time to exercise or go outside and then write a blog about it? I mean, I would too but I don't have that kind of time. I don't have the energy to go somewhere after a long day of hard work. I'm just too busy. I don't have money. My schedule is too tight. I don't even know where to begin.
Thank you for the feedback but it's been declined. This way of thinking is in direct conflict with my principals and I'm holding on to them. I don't have a secret, magical way of putting more hours into your day, but I do have a suggestion or two. But first, I'll tell you a few mitigating circumstances:
I don't have small kids, only a teen who already butters his own toasts. I'm not at all sure how all of this could be achieved with sleepless nights or while breast-feeding. Cherish those years nonetheless. They're unique in their own way. Travel and hike when it's time for such things. Or take your kids with you! When mine was small, the only outdoor activity was on the sand box.
I do shift work, so during Winter I can ask for more evening shifts so I have time, and sunlight, for going outside in the morning. My coworkers who have lots of kids are very grateful for this. I do a full day, though. I'm working but I don't get fat stacks of money. We're not living on the red at the end of the month, though. Just around zero.
I live in an apartment building and I don't have a car, so my time is not distributed between fixing, maintaining or decorating. Sure we give money to the Property Manager who takes care of everything, so basically I have to work harder and longer hours so I can pay someone else to take care of my home. We are considering a car but my ongoing Lada Niva-fever needs its own blog post.
You might have time consumers that can't be erased from your life, like I've done. You can't control everything all the time but the things you can, need your attention. Some time consumers, though seemingly impossible to get rid of, can be facilitated in some way – family member's addicition, or your own, poor physical or mental shape, a stressful or a physically demanding job.
I understand if things are different in your life and that something is preventing you from doing things you enjoy. But instead you can copy me.
I don't go to the store
If you understand anything about marketing, you know why Pentti Linkola said:
Standing at the doorway of a local Prisma, it's obvious that mankind is doomed.
A carton of milk is going to be pretty expensive when you buy slacks on the way to it. You think it's convenient to buy underwear, some books and towels on your shopping trip. Alcohol and cigarettes aren't a part of a healthy life but there they are, beckoning on the shelves. And don't even get me started on treats and candy. And if you happen to forget something, are you going right back or are you spending your Sunday on a lovely trip to the mall with the whole family? Godspeed to you, the increasing consumerism is extremely good news to the store and to Finland's economy. I just don't feel like participating and my lack of enthusiasm for shopping is in direct correlation to the balance of my own financial situation.
There was a web service called Mukava in Jyväskylä last Spring that brought groceries to your front door. I browsed their website, like in any other online shop and they delivered the goods. I was more than happy with the arrangement. Unfortunately they needed to close up shop. But thanks to their cute marketing campaign, they served as a conduit to online grocery shopping for us. We've since used M-Kauppa and S-Kauppa. Both can be found from the wonderland that is the internet. I urge you to try it and see for yourself – the amount of time, nerves and money saved when you never have to go grocery shopping hungry again.
Cost vs saving
Home delivery has costed from 5 to 13 euros per delivery. I usually order a week's worth of groceries and the site saves the list for me to modify! Honestly there isn't a whole lot of modifying going on, since we tend to buy the same things every week. Ordering groceries online with a full stomach saves you from cravings and we're able to keep true to our diet. We don't own a car but if we did, I'd still order online and just drive my car up front to collect the readily bagged goodies (the collecting fee is about half of the home delivery fee).
If I forget to order something, I'm either fine being without it or I just go to a local Siwa.
Smaller (blood)pressure
When you don't have to go to the store after work and instead you have a full fridge and freezer waiting at home, you don't give much room for stressfull thoughts. Even if you have somewhere to be after work, you're free to go because your family already has food available. I understand that this is not an issue to everyone and different people have different rutines but personally I'm not equipped with a huge interest for chores and/or cooking. The two other members of my family are even less interested but they do participate. Holidays are also no longer a problem – no more standing in line for who-knows-how-long.
This has also, for some reason made cooking feel a lot lighter and easier, even though the increase in the amount of vegetables has also lead into more chopping and peeling. But the whole thing is less strenuous. Perhaps because I'm home 30 minutes earlier or because sticking to my diet has made me more patient and/or my blood sugar doesn't get a chance to drop.
And most importantly: time management
If it's not obvious, for an ADHD case like me, the biggest victory is the extra 15 minutes or an hour a week (or even a day) you get. It's not much but when you're working 8 hours a day and it takes 40 minutes per day from/to the office, it's nice to have a moment to yourself after work. The illusion of stress is enough to make it seem like the clock is ticking and that drains your strenght.
I also don't go to clothing stores or visit thrift shops anymore
I used to be a regular at clothing stores but then I transferred my shopping online and after getting bitten my the treehugger bug, I only went to thrift shops and flea markets. Sport attire is the only category I pay full price for. After a while, thrift shopping took way too much of my time, since Jyväskylä has a lot of options for it. Sure, taking the bicycle to Kirri grants some nice views but it's still a day's trip. At first, it was relaxing and enjoyable but gradually I found less items to buy, less clothes I liked until I just grew tired of it. I still go to thrift shops if someone asks me along and often times I have a good time. But I don't go out of my way to visit them anymore.
In short, shops, stores and shopping in general seem to interest me less and less every year. Middle-age doesn't come alone, eh? If you happen to have feelings of uncontrollable shopping urges, I advice you to get in touch with your own mental blockages. I used to be an emotional buyer – it's sort of like an emotional eater – you know you're going to regret it and eventually it's only getting you into trouble because it doesn't eliminate the root cause. Going outside, planning hikes and attending classes in mindfullness and self-betterment (I've found Katri Manninen to be a good teacher, seek her out at kutri.net) can help you rid yourself of harmful and toxic hobbies. Buying stuff just because it's cheap and throwing everything in an UFF box after a few weeks. Although, I have to admit that starting this whole hiking thing I went a little overboard with equipment purchases. But everything is fine now.
Have you found any surprising ways to improve your own time management? Let me know in the comment section!

If you've ever thought of taking the plunge and moving to Spain, you're in good company. According to a 2018 uSwitch quality of life poll, around 12% of Brits were seriously thinking of moving abroad, with Spain being the top choice for many.
Out of more than 2,000 people surveyed, only 5% of them said that they were happy living in the UK with almost 50% citing the cost of living as the most influential factor.
Other major reasons for moving abroad included a rise in violent crime and a feeling of living in a fragmented and broken society.
Couple this with the fact that the average European enjoys more holidays, a higher spend on healthcare as a percentage of GDP, lower retirement age and a longer life expectancy, it's no wonder that so many Brits are looking to move here in 2019 and beyond.
In a more recent HSBC Global Survey, expats voted Spain as the 4th most desirable country worldwide in which to live in despite the doom and gloom of Brexit and the uncertainty of the UK potentially leaving the EU.
However, it's always a good idea to also research the cost of living in Spain before you make the move. Read our article below and take some time to factor in the cost of everyday items you'll be paying out for each month.
While the economic situation has been steadily improving here in Spain and throughout most of Europe, the fact remains that most of us are still counting the pennies and we want to make what money we do have to go that bit further. Read on to find a realistic outline of the cost of everyday items. Hopefully, this will enable you to plan your budget more efficiently.
We've included on our list, many of the most common shopping items you would buy on a daily basis, but we've also incorporated other essentials such as what it will cost you to run a car, how much you could expect to pay for utility bills and what you might assume to pay for travelling or eating out.
Obviously the costs of items we've included are very general. The items that are essential to you will possibly vary from these and so your own living expenses may well differ. What you should do when you undertake research into your everyday living costs in Spain is to consider the following:
Also, don't forget that the cost of living in Spain is more than just the items of shopping you put in your trolley. There are a variety of other living costs to consider before you make the decision to seek out warmer climes, and in fact, doing your homework in advance will help you to decide whether moving abroad is economically sustainable for you.
Other things that can affect the amount of income you will need include:
The days when the price of living in Spain was relatively low are unfortunately long gone, but then this is the same all over the globe so it's only to be expected. However, you can still live relatively cheaply here if you set your mind to it and make an effort to budget properly and live more like the locals do.
The average Spaniard earns around €23,000 per year, which equates to around €1,900 per month. This is a lot less than the average annual income in the UK where the average person earns €32,200. The national minimum wage in Spain is currently set at €900 per month and is based on 14 monthly payments per year.
Remember too, that while Spain has a welfare system, it is different to the UK and so there is no child benefit, Universal Credit or working/child tax credits as such. There are a few tax allowances for people who have children, but these are really nowhere near as substantial as the ones you may be used to in the UK.
An example of a tax allowance in Spain is that with a child under 3 years of age, you are entitled to €100 paid to your bank each month, or you can receive an income tax deduction of €1,200 annually.
View the following page for a full list of tax allowances and thresholds in Spain.
TIP: The best way to approach your research into the cost of living in Spain is to write down all of your current monthly expenses and then compare them to the prices we have included below. This will effectively demonstrate just how the cost of living in Spain will compare to that of the UK.
The following costs are for July 2019. They are a comparison between mainly ADSA own brands (which is one of the more economical UK supermarket chains) and Mercadona, considered to be its equivalent in Spain. In order to make the comparison easier, the UK prices have been converted into Euros and are correct as of July 2019.
Supermarket chains Lidl and Aldi also have a presence here in Spain, so if you usually shop at these stores, you may be able to reduce your grocery bill further still.
Note: Different municipalities in Spain charge different amounts for services and commodities such as water, road tax, council tax etc. You should do some area-specific research in order to make a completely accurate account of what it will cost you to live in your chosen area of Spain.

Council leader urges cliff campers to accept help
Published Thursday, 24th September 2015
The Leader of Southend-on-Sea Borough Council has today urged people illegally camping on the Cliff Gardens and open space to take up final offers of help or move on from the area.
The call comes as the council reveals that it has successfully helped 19 individuals in the area, but 10 still remain.
With the winter months approaching, Cllr Ron Woodley has made one last plea for offers of assistance to be accepted and to urge others not to join those illegally camping in the area.
Cllr Ron Woodley, Leader of the Council, says: "I urge those camping on the cliffs to take up our final offers of help. Having made several attempts to engage with those on the cliffs and achieving success in several cases, we are getting to the stage where we have exhausted all our options for those remaining.
"In total, our outreach workers have engaged with 29 individuals on the Cliffs, 19 of which have moved on, with 15 of those either successfully accommodated, reconnected with their local area, or are continuing to engage with homeless support services locally and work towards a long term solution to their homelessness. We understand that 10 people still remain. This indicates that despite our best efforts, people are joining those that are still camping in the area.
"The Summer is now over and so we are already seeing the start of bad weather. The cliffs area can be subject to land movement and so it is not a safe or hygienic area to camp, so I would urge those remaining to take up the various offers that have been made and encourage other people not to join them.
"I do not want to be considering taking legal action against homeless people and I absolutely have compassion with their plight. However, we have gone well above and beyond what we are obliged to do, making several offers of help and support, but we are now at the stage where we reluctantly have to consider our legal options.
"Instead of facilitating rough sleeping by allowing camping in parks, our policy as a Council is to enable homeless people to get into accommodation where a professional support network is available to address their holistic needs. We have done just that and it has now been several weeks since many of their arrivals."
Outreach workers from St Mungos Broadway have regularly visited each of the campers on behalf of the Council to assess their housing and support needs and worked closely with local organisations including HARP, Family Mosaic, STARs, Probation, SEPT to provide support and accommodation, either within Southend or outside the Borough in the cases of those who have travelled to the area.
Offers of assistance have included:
· Night shelter accommodation
· Assistance with accessing benefits they may be entitled to
· Reconnection with support services in the areas where they have previously lived
· Referral to drug and alcohol addiction services, where appropriate
· Referral to mental health services, where appropriate

WilkinsonEyre converted three 19th-century cast-iron gasholders into apartment blocks at King's
Cross, London, as part of Europe's largest urban
redevelopment. The telescopic gasholder was
invented in 1824 and provided the storage needed
to meet the demand of an ever-expanding city.
These interlocking gasholder guide frames were
originally constructed in 1867, and now contain
three accommodation 'drums' with differing heights
to suggest the movement of the original gasholders.
They are reached by a circular courtyard – in effect
a fourth drum. Each volume has its own atrium and
core linked by a series of circular walkways.
The scheme includes 145 flats, a gym and spa,
business lounge, entertainment suite and bar
reception area. The buildings are clad with modular
vertical panels of steel and glass textured with a veil
of shutters and each has a roof garden within the
silhouette of the gasholder frame. The open-plan
apartments have living spaces and bedrooms at the
perimeter to take advantage of natural light.
The interior lighting scheme for the atria supplements
and balances the available natural light from a
glass dome above with a simple wash of light to the
circular walls, enhancing the experience of looking
up and through the atria to the sky. At night, the
glass dome and structure over each atrium is left
dark, transforming so that it reflects the atrium back
on itself. Looking up from the centre of the circular
space, the effect is a kaleidoscope of circular patterns
and reflections. The light source is designed to be
invisible whatever the viewing angle. The cove houses
two circular arrays of LED tape luminaires. The
fixtures are mounted end to end and have a diffusing
wide beam optic. Two colour temperatures are used:
one array emits very warm white light (2400K) and
the other emits neutral white (4000K).
Each apartment has a cylindrical entrance light, with
an internally frosted, fluted diffuser – a bespoke paper
diffusing film behind a clear acrylic tube so that the
light is fully diffused while maintaining the glossy
surface of the material. The lanterns are also fitted
with an internal colour correction film to achieve a
warmer colour temperature of around 2400K. These
fittings bring warmth and depth to the light quality,
while punctuating the otherwise diffuse light in the
atria with an element of sparkle.
Viewed from above, the lighting details at ground
level provide definition. The linear lighting beneath
the wedge-shaped landscape elements underlines
New lamps for old: Victorian
gasholders which helped
illuminate London have been
revived and repurposed into
a residential development.
The exterior lighting reveals
the beauty of the heritage
framework, while avoiding
light spill into the buildings

Any illegal activity that is conducted through digital technology is a computer crime, often known as cybercrime. Computer crimes pose a growing threat to Americans. Last year, over 70% of U.S. citizens said they were afraid they could become a victim of cybercrime. Nearly 30% of citizens said that they had already been affected by data breaches.
Police do not have an unlimited right to use testing procedures on suspected drunk drivers. There are constitutional protections against invalid or unlawful tests. However, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a surprise ruling in June that allowed Sheboygan, Wisconsin police to administer a blood test to a driver while he was unconscious.

Riverside Business Park Segment E Sidewalk Connector
Project Title
Riverside Business Park Segment E Sidewalk Connector
Strategic Initiative
Enhancing and Optimizing our Real Estate Holdings
Project Location Map
Segment E is one portion of a series of connected bicycle & walking paths that will provide shoreline public access in the Riverside Business Park. In 2015, the Port entered into a public access agreement with the City of Everett to provide shoreline access on this former Weyerhaeuser property. Completion of Segment E was completed as part of the construction of the 8th Street Roadway Improvements and Segment I project.
Desired Outcome
Enhanced public access is one of the Port of Everett's Strategic Initiatives. Completion of this trail segment brings us closer to full pedestrian access to a series of waterfront trails and a connected loop on the Everett shoreline.
Construction of Segment E of the Riverside Business Park shoreline trail system was completed in March 2018. Trails A, B, E and I are constructed and complete. Trails C, D, J, K, F and viewpoints G and H are permitted and going to bid later this year for construction in the first half of 2019.

First corn of spring
Yes, they have corn on the cob all winter in the grocery store, but I don't buy it, fearing that it will taste like cardboard. I'll buy tomatoes now and then, knowing they'll taste insipid when raw but will caramelize into something quite nice after 20 minutes in a pan. And I'll buy eggplant, carrots and celery all winter even though I have no idea where they're grown or how that is accomplished in the cold weather.
But for other produce I'm perfectly willing to wait for the season. That includes corn.
So yesterday I couldn't resist. The good news: the corn was excellent. You might even have thought it was July. I hope this is an omen that winter is finally over and this summer will be good for the growing things.

Bingo Tutorial
How the Game is
1) You buy a card (or more)
with numbers printed on it.
2) Numbered balls are drawn out of a machine and called out loudly.
3) You cross off each number on your card that was called out.
4) The first person crossing off a certain pattern this way (a
straight line or similar) shouts "Bingo" and wins.
The Cards
Generally, on arrival at the bingo hall,
you buy your card, a few cards or a book of bingo cards at the book-sales
counter. Each book usually consists of five to eight colored bingo
tickets, each color corresponding to a different game. Of course you
can buy books with six or 12 or more tickets, as well. Bingo cards
are usually the "throwaway" type but you may find the
"permanent" type as well: hard-plastic or cardboard with
sliding windows over each number.
Types of Games
Prize arrangements vary from
game to game and from club to club but are commonly available for:
One Line: The
first player to correctly cross off a horizontal line of numbers.
Two Lines:
The first player to correctly cross off two lines, either
horizontally or diagonally.
Full House:
The first player to correctly cross off all the numbers on the

| 7°C Dublin
Sailors across the Royal Navy have been rewarded with a tot of rum for their role in the Queen's diamond jubilee celebrations.
The Queen gave the direction to splice the mainbrace, a tradition going back centuries allowing naval staff to enjoy a drink in recognition of good service.
The order dates back to the days of sail when an extra ration of rum was issued for sailors who completed the difficult task of splicing the mainbrace. It was one of the most difficult emergency repair jobs on board, especially during the heat of battle.
Sailors across HMS Excellent and HMS Nelson in Portsmouth, HMS Drake in Plymouth and recruits in HMS Raleigh and Britannia Royal Naval College Dartmouth were among those taking part.
HMS Westminster also hailed the tradition by taking a tot under the Arabian sun in the Gulf - while also distributing the Fortnum and Mason's Diamond Jubilee tins, sent to all personnel deployed on operations at the time of the diamond jubilee.
At the same time the commanding officer, Captain Nick Hine, presented those eligible members of the ship's company with their diamond jubilee medals.
At HMS Excellent in Whale Island, Portsmouth, naval officers, ratings and Royal Marines queued up for their tot from a traditional rum barrel, served up by members of the Gunnery Association dressed in traditional 17th-century uniforms.
Deputy fleet commander and navy command HQ chief of staff Vice Admiral Phil Jones said: "It is a huge honour for us in navy command that Her Majesty has personally directed the naval service to celebrate her diamond jubilee in traditional fashion - the order to splice the mainbrace is a unique and rarely granted link with our history and traditions, and one which we cherish."

Kalpa Valley – Solo Backpacking Trip | Bus Journey from Delhi
What sort of image do you make in your mind when you hear about:
Hey, Let's go on a Kinnaur Valley Trip? (That Highway movie)
Let me think for you, something like –
Tall mountains with sharp edges and heart-stopping views while driving on the deadliest roads in India.
The mighty Kinnaur Kailash range situated at an elevation of (6,050m).
Is this what you are thinking 🤔 ?
…… 😃Ah, we are on the same mountain (page) then.

Boys and Girls: pack your bags, tighten your seat belts. I will be going to be your Delhi to Kalpa guide 😊.
To reach Kalpa in Kinnaur, first, you should reach Kinnaur –
How to Reach from Delhi to Kinnaur
Delhi to Kinnaur distance is 600 km. Kinnaur can be reached in different ways –
Delhi to Kinnaur Flight
The nearest airport is Jubbarhatti located 22kms away from Shimla.
The distance remains 243km which can be covered either by taking the 1st option is: taking a bus from Lakkar Bazar, ISBT or old bus stand which will drop at Reckong Peo (Headquarters of Kinnaur district).
The 2nd option is: taking a cab which will directly drop you at Kalpa (costly).
- Delhi ➡ Shimla (flight) (347km) ➡ Reckong Peo (231km) (Bus) ➡ Kalpa (3km)
- Delhi ➡ Shimla (flight) (347km) ➡ Kalpa (Cab)
Delhi to Kinnaur Train
The nearest railway station to reach from Delhi to Kinnaur by Train is in Shimla, Shimla railway station.
The distance remains 224km which can be covered either by taking the 1st option is: taking a bus from Lakkar Bazar, ISBT or old bus stand to Reckong Peo in Kinnaur (same as after getting down by flight).
- Delhi ➡ Shimla (train) (347km) ➡ Reckong Peo (231km)(bus) ➡ Kalpa (3km)
- Delhi ➡ Shimla (train) (347km) ➡ Kalpa (Cab)
Delhi to Kinnaur Bus
Unfortunately, there are no direct Delhi to Kalpa bus but can get an ordinary Delhi to Reckong Peo bus.
- Delhi ➡ Shimla {night Bus (347km)} ➡ Reckong Peo {day Bus (231km)} ➡ Kalpa in the evening (3km)
Long stretch at one go and then in intervals –
- Delhi ➡ Rampur {night Bus (474km)}➡ Reckong Peo {day Bus( 99km)} ➡ Kalpa in the evening ( 3km)
Direct Bus –
- Delhi ➡ Reckong Peo (573km)➡ Kalpa (3km)
You can also go by taking Delhi to Reckong Peo bus directly. The timing of the bus is 8:10 p.m. from ISBT Kashmiri Gate.
Shimla to Kalpa Bus
There are no direct Shimla to Kalpa bus but you can easily get a bus to Reckong Peo from Shimla.
i.e. Reckong Peo to Kalpa distance is 3km and you will get another bus from outside Reckong Peo bus stand to Kalpa. The fare for the Reckong Peo to Kalpa bus journey would be around Rs.15 – Rs.20 per person.
Shimla to Kinnaur Road Conditions
The drive from Shimla to Rampur Bushahr is very pleasant and the twist in your road trip is around the corner.
Yes, tighten your seat belts the hip hop ride has arrived. The road is not smooth at least starting 80-100 km before the Reckong Peo. But it's fun, believe me.
Note – If you willing to travel by Bus, here are the rates (because I have traveled by bus)

*It can be subject to change
Delhi – Shimla (Volvo) = Around Rs.700-Rs.800
Shimla – Reckong Peo (Ordinary HRTC) = Rs.417
Reckong Peo – Kalpa (Ordinary) = Rs.15
Major Note – It's going to be a long journey, so don't try to travel empty stomach and especially in the bus.
Let me share an example during my Kalpa Valley Trip – I was traveling in public transport and the lady sitting ahead of me started vomiting and continued till the whole journey because she hasn't eaten anything and that disturbed everyone.
Learnings to take
Don't ever travel empty stomach especially in mountains where hip hop is a normal thing.
Recently the news came there's a landslide in the Kinnaur region and it's before the monsoon. This strictly says to avoid these regions not only in monsoon but pre-monsoon too.

This article focuses on Kalpa Valley, i.e. from Reckong Peo, you can easily reach Kalpa.
- Reckong Peo ➡ Kalpa (3km)
Please Note – You will going to reach Reckong Peo in the evening, so there's an outside chance that you will get the bus to Kalpa from outside Peo bus stand. The last bus leaves almost around 6 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. If you miss out, there are taxis and also people are helpful, even a lift/hitchhike will work.
Where to Stay in Kalpa
If you want to get involved in the authenticity of Kalpa, then Homestay will be a perfect option.
I stayed in a Homestay which was in the village Kashmir, 2 km away from Kalpa.
Address – Sh. Jasbir Singh, Village Kashmir, Post office Kalpa, Tehsil Kalpa, District Kinnaur.
Ph. no- 09805041376
If you take my suggestion, I will strongly recommend you to stay in Kalpa only.
There are multiple options of
Homestays in Kalpa

1. Address – Praness Homestay
Ph.no- 8219558621, 9816053257

Ph.No- 7650084836, 9816737004
Also Read, The Best Hostel to Stay in Rishikesh near Laxman Jhula
Why Stay in Kalpa only?
Because of two reasons –
1. The convenience of the bus
The bus is available from Kalpa to reach Reckong Peo and is scheduled to leave after every 30-40 min. and the last bus to leave for Peo is 5:40 p.m. from Kalpa. (Rs.20)
Where I was staying, hardly any bus passes by. So, I have to come to Kalpa 2-3 km to catch a bus.
Want to see more Kalpa photos, see the Kalpa Valley Photo Blog.
2. The Heritage village
Staying in Kalpa valley is a bliss. My majority of the day was spent in Kalpa, and without any doubt, the vibrant energy will hold you tight.
However, it is a small village with a population of 1300 approx. But the days you are going to spend on your Kalpa trip will be one of the best in Kinnaur regions.
Weather in Kalpa Kinnaur
Kalpa is located at a height of 9,711 ft. and the weather remains pleasing throughout the year.
It's the sheer month of winters with min. temperature 0- 8 degrees and max. temperature 8-20 degrees.
Summers are the month of escape from heat and Kalpa city is the place to go with min. temperature 13-16 degrees and max. temperature 21-24 degrees.
The starting of monsoon and winters bring cold nights with min. temperature 13-1 degrees and max. temperature 21-10 degrees.
Best time to visit Kalpa
Summers are the best season to visit Kalpa. i.e. from May – Aug.
Avoid hilly areas during the monsoon or even pre-monsoon, as safe as possible because landslides, roadblocks, and floods are the normal thing in Kinnaur district.
Reckong Peo
Headquarter of Kinnaur, Reckong Peo also known as Peo by localities. It comes before Kalpa. One can take a bus from Peo to Kalpa and it charges Rs.15. The panoramic view of Kinner Kailash is visible from Peo and a much much beautiful view from Kalpa 😄.
Reckong Peo bazar is just below the bus stand, from bazar upper road goes to Kalpa and the straight road goes to Pangi.
Localities believe that after the sunrise Pangi is not a place to be around because of the people's behavior.
Also Read, Hyderabad – The Enchanting City of Nawabs and Kababs
Reckong Peo is the main hub of Kinnaur in terms of Shopping, traveling to other places and even taking permits (foreigners) to go Spiti.
Considering the narrow roads, there is the parking at the starting of Peo with rates Rs.30 up to 6hrs and Rs.50 above 6hrs.
Kalpa Tourist Spot
Kalpa is a heritage village and after the release of the movie "Highway", people are in search of those sharp edges Kinnaur mountains and a walk in the heaven village of Kalpa. Apart from taking a walk in heaven, some of the places to visit in Kalpa valley Trip are –
1. Hu-Ba-Lan-Kar Monastery
Located in the crossroads of Kalpa is Hu-Ba-Lan-Kar Monastery and the locals believe whatever you wish with your true heart will find its way to reach you.
It is among the few oldest monasteries in the world founded by the great translator Rinchansang-po.
2. Chandrika Temple
A few steps from Hu-Ba-Lan-Kar Monastery is Chandika Temple. It is next to the Anganwadi.
3.Vishnu Narayan Nagini Temple
It is constructed in a Tibetan style of architecture. The villagers have to come in the Kinnauri dress to go inside the temple.
4.Suicide Point
On the Roghi Kinnaur road, lies a vertical slope which is famously known as a Suicide point. People believe if you look down from that edge your mind will be shaken up and also Kinnaur roads are one of the deadliest roads in India. It clearly depicts the point.

Budget Required for Kalpa Trip
I am going to suggest Budget Required for Kalpa Trip as from a normal human being perspective who wants to do Hassle-free and as a Solo Traveller. Passionate Solo Travellers can do even for less.
Firstly, Starting from Delhi, I will be taking Shimla – Reckong Peo – Kalpa
Delhi – Shimla Volvo Bus = Rs. 650-Rs.750
Shimla- Reckong Peo Bus = Rs. 420
Reckong Peo – Kalpa = Rs. 15
Secondly, stay in Hotel –
It will be going to cost between Rs.1500 – Rs. 2000 minimum for a night.
Thirdly, food options are reasonable. It can easily be done at Rs.500-Rs.600 for a day
Overall, for 3-4 days of Kalpa valley trip only starting from Delhi can be done at the budget of Rs.6500- Rs.7000 as far as my calculation goes.
By the way, have you heard of the last Indian Village?
The distance between Kalpa to Chitkul is 72km. After summarizing your Kalpa trip you can go straight to Chitkul valley.
I end up doing a Trip to Kinnaur Valley under 8K, you can do it too.
Please subscribe if this post has helped you.
Q. Is Kalpa Trip enough for 2 days?
Ans. Yes, definitely. Kalpa Trip can be done in one day only but if you want to spend more time than it's fair enough to stay one more day. Traveling very far and two days to spend are a must.
Q. Where can I go near Kalpa Kinnaur?
Ans. Roghi village is located 10-12km away from Kalpa and it is a beautiful place to be around.
Q. In which month can I find apple orchards?
Ans. if you want to see Apple orchards, It can be found in the month of August. It has a shelf life of four months.
Q. How long is the journey to Kalpa valley from Delhi?
Ans. It will be going to take you–
- By Flight = Delhi – Shimla (flight) (around 2hrs) – Kalpa (bus) (around 7hrs) = 9hrs.
- By Train = Delhi-Shimla (train) (around 5-6krs) – Kalpa (bus) (around 7hrs) =12-13hrs.
- By Bus= Delhi-Shimla (bus) (around 8-9hrs)- Kalpa (bus) (around 7hrs) = 15-16hrs

Hello Ravindra,
Glad that it was useful. The Homestay where I had stayed will going to cost you Rs.1000 but I insist to stay in Kalpa homestays and will going to cost around Rs.700-Rs.800 approx. For Hotels as I mentioned Kalpa Deshang is quite expensive but worth your stay Rs. 3500 – Rs. 4000 for a night.
Hope I was able to help here.
