Triund, in spite of its recent commercialization, remains the best vantage point for Dhauladhar gazing and peering over the Kangra Valley, where McLeodganj and Dharamshala are located. The Triund Hill, situated at an elevation of 2827 meters (9275 feet) is a long exposed ridge covered with grass and it is the best known day trek and the easiest in the region. The trek from McLeodganj to Triund is an ideal way for beginners to get familiar with trekking and is often considered more of a hike than a trek considering that the trail is properly marked and even though rocky, is hewn into steps at certain places. The Triund trek in itself can be completed within a day by fit enough travellers or could also be stretched out to last 2-3 days. It basically involves a rocky trail of 9 km to the top. Since the distance and the altitude aren't too much, anyone in a reasonably fit physical condition can take the journey. You gain around 900 to 1000 meters in altitude during this trek, while not difficult, the trails can whet your stamina in case you are not used to trekking.

Triund Trivia
Triund is known to be the Jewel of Dharamshala, which is a city in the upper reaches of the Kangra Valley and is surrounded by dense coniferous forest consisting mainly of stately Deodar cedar trees. The trek to Triund begins from the village of McLeodganj, which is known worldwide for the presence of the Dalai Lama. McLeodganj is also known as 'Little Lhasa' or 'Dhasa' (a short form of Dharamshala used mainly by Tibetans) because of its large Tibetan population. The Tibetan government in exile is headquartered in McLeodganj.
The Triund Trek
Triund is also known to be a base-camp for trekkers who are climbing to higher points such as the Snowline; it helps them acclimatize. Triund has an unequivocal byway which runs through a beautiful mixed forest of oak, deodar, and rhododendron. The trek is fairly easy for the first five kilometres; however, the last one kilometre might require a certain amount of toiling. The last one kilometre is famously known as the '22 curves' as it has 22 tiring curves till you finally reach Triund. The trudge to the top, however, is worth it, as the panorama is totally awe-inspiring and exhilarating.
The trek involves gradual to steep ascents that even amateurs can cover. However, if you are trekking during winters, the trek becomes slightly difficult due to the presence of snow on the otherwise firm and well-defined path.
Best Time to Visit
Triund can be visited throughout the year. The summer season is most preferred, as the months of March-May extend vibrant colours and a great view of the Dhauladhar Mountains. However, should you want to experience snow, you can also consider the latter part of the year, winter months – September to December. It is wise to note that the byway path to Triund is blocked off due to heavy snowfall during the months of January and February. June-July is when the landscape receives its rainfall, but trekking is still a possibility in the midst of the greenery.

With the increased commercialization of the trek, the stay options to have been on the rise. The oldest structure is a Forest Guest House on the top of Triund, which can be booked in Dharamshala. An advance booking is advised, or else you will not get a room. The booking office lies behind Park Restaurant opposite to Dharamsala Police Station and General Post Office. There are also several other privately owned guesthouses where a room would cost somewhere around Rs 500 – Rs 700/night. Several guest houses established at Dharamkot which is at a walking distance from McLeodganj also offer rooms before the start of a trek.
Apart from this, tents are readily available at almost every shack of Triund. There are also planned treks with guides, wherein they provide and set up the tents along with a sleeping bag, refreshments along the trek and even meals at the final point. If the idea of a guided tour doesn't appeal to you, you can carry your own tent (and sleeping bag) for your own setup. However, remember that you cannot pitch your tent if you do not have permission from the Forest Department. It's advisable to obtain the permission from the Forest Office in the Dharamshala town, at least a day before the trek. Food and refreshments are available in shops that are located along the way as well as at the final point of the trek where you can also get full meals. Point to note, the prices of food increases with altitude, so you might want to carry some refreshments with you.
Another adventurous option is a couple of caves located on the south end of the ridge which offers free accommodation.
Livingit Tip:
Temperatures drop pretty low at the higher altitudes, especially during the winter months, so it's good to keep an eye out for the weather conditions and be prepared for the same.
Starting points for Triund Trek
There are several starting points for Triund Trek:
Starting from McLeodGanj
Starting out from McLeodganj will take you the most amount of time. From McLeodganj, you need to head towards Dharamkot first, which via a shortcut is about a 15-minute leisurely walk.
There are also multiple accommodation options to choose from at McLeodganj.
Starting from Dharamkot
The trail starting from Dharamkot to Triund is approximately 7 km and passes via Gallu Temple which is also another starting point for many. To reach the Gallu Temple, the trail passes through a pleasing jungle trail and will consume about an hour of walk time.
What many trekkers do is they rent out rooms at Dharamkot and choose it to be their starting point.
Starting from Gallu Devi Temple
There is the facility of renting a taxi to take you up to Gallu Devi Temple, which is one of the best-known starting points of the trek. At this point, there are a couple of tiny cafes as well from where you can buy refreshments.
Starting from Bhagsu Nag
Should you decide to start your trek from Dharamshala, then Bhagsu Nag will be your starting point. The Triund trek trail is approximately 9 km and there is a shortcut leading to Bhagsu village from Dharamkot. Bhagsu is popular for it a temple, hippies and a massive waterfall.
Triund Trek Map
Triund Trek Itinerary - Day to Day Breakdown
The Triund Trek can very easily be covered in a day, however, if you do wish to spend the night on the summit, and explore the nearby locations having traversed already a distance, your trek could stretch to 2-3 days. The trek distance from McLeod Ganj to Triund is 9 Km, but as the old saying goes - you cannot measure the distance of mountains in kilometres, it is the number of hours you take to reach the top. It all depends on which direction you want to lead the trek.
Jotted below is a rough itinerary for the sake of ease in planning.
Bhagsu/Dharamkot to Triund via Galu Devta
Altitude: 6,184 ft to 9,760 ft
Distance: 7 km
The villages of Bhagsu and Dharamkot are situated about 2 km up the ridge from McLeodganj. As mentioned earlier, they are both considered as road heads.
The trail from Dharamkot is the more pleasant of the two since the trail leads through the thick crown of the pine forests. At the Gallu Temple clearing, there are a couple of cafes catering to refreshments. From here, one trail leads south-west into the forest to the village of Naddi, while another forest trail leads north-west, towards the stream that descends from Laka.
The main trail towards Triund persists in a straight fashion past the shrine. This trail gently rises, moving through the thickets of oak, whilst making its way over the steep side of the Laka ridge. Dharamkot and Bhagsu lie directly below this trail.
Roughly about halfway up the trail, you will find a deep gully that travels across a steep section and emerges on a rocky spur. As you ascend from Dharamkot, the Dhauladhar Range will come into view. This stretch of the forests is literally crawling with various species of songbirds, and is a real paradise for bird fanatics.
Moving past the Magic View Café, the trail starts to get steeper. It is at this very point that the Dharamkot spur of the Laka ridge meets the Triund ridge at right angles, hereby creating a series of steep gullies that end up in ravines of thick woods.
The trail continues to move through a series of steep switchbacks, filled with oak trees, and rhododendron. The end of the switchbacks is the end of the rhododendrons, bringing you to the Triund ridge. This extends as grassy stretch for about a kilometre before hurling into the Kangra Valley.
The slightly strenuous path isn't too bad during pleasant weather; however the rains do tend to turn the pathway into complete mush. The ridge of Triund is best place to set up camp. During trekking season you will notice the presence of small shacks which will provide you with a full meal. Do remember to carry water as water is a scarcity up here and is available only some 1 km before Triund.
Triund – Bhagsu/ Dharamkot
To return, retrace the route you took to reach Triund Hill all the way back to Dharamkot. An all descending trail allows for quick trekking and you can cover the distance in a lesser time.
Further Treks
There are options to take your further and beyond the Triund Ridge, trek a bit further to reach the Snowline Café, Lahesh cave and Indrahar Pass. If you have the time to spare, it's also possible to cross the pass and arrive at Chamba on the other side. So, Where can I go from the final point of Triund Trek?
Snow Line (Laka Got)
The Snow line point is approximately 2 km from Triund and it will take you a max of 2 hours to reach there. It will give you a closer view of the Dhauladar range on the east in a series of peaks and a below the grassy ridges of Triund.
The popular snow line cafe is just a small shop which is the last food point on this route.
Laka Glacier and Lahesh Cave
A bit further up from Snow Line, you can trek towards the Laka Glacier. This will take you 2 hours at max to reach this point. You can witness the glacier if you are there between the months of March – May, post which it starts to recede.
The Lahesh cave is a natural long shelter, and if you get up to this point, you can camp at Snow Line on the way back.
Chhatta Parao (over Indrahara Pass-4350M)
This a steep and a taxing climb which will take you about three to four hours. This pass is one of the most frequented, by shepherds and trekkers to make their way to Chamba and Bharmaur. The view from this pass is the most amazing and captivating views of the Himalayas.
You will also be able to get a glimpse of Chamba Kailash from this pass. If you want to camp, then camping is done at Chatta Parao under the rock shelter.
Things to Carry
- Good quality, good grip trekking shoes already worn in before the trek.
- Backpack of 40-60 litres with sturdy straps and a supporting frame. A rain cover for the backpack is a must.
- At higher altitude campsites, the temperatures could drop to 2-6 degrees. Two light layers such as fleece and woollen and one padded jacket as an additional layer is advisable for this trek.
- Two trekking pants, one as regular wear and a spare in case the first one gets wet.
- Two collared t-shirts, full sleeved, of light material to prevent from sunburns on the neck and arms during the day and keep out the cold during the night. One for regular wear and a spare in case the first one gets wet.
- For those who feel the cold more easily, carry thermals to wear at night.
- Sunglasses to prevent from snow blindness, which could be present closer to the lake.
- A Sun cap to cover your head from the direct heat of the sun.
- Synthetic hand gloves, one pair water resistant and windproof in nature, and another of fleece or woollen.
- Balaclava or woollen scarves.
- Two pairs of sports socks and a pair of woollen socks for the night.
- Headlamp or LED torch with extra batteries for backup.
- A walking stick or a trekking pole for additional balance and support.

- Essential toiletries only
- Original ID proof and two photographs.
- Two water bottles: 1 litre each.

How to Get Fit for the Triund Trek
In terms of difficulty, the Triund trek is classified as Easy to Moderate, but, it is still essential that you get fit for the trek in order to avoid soreness and injures.
Cardiovascular endurance
In order to be able to comfortably cover this distance and altitude you need to build up your cardiovascular endurance. Begin by jogging every day and you should be at a point of jogging 4 km in 20 minutes before the start of the trek. Pace yourself and begin slowly, to achieve this checkpoint. Other activities that could help in this are climbing stairs, cycling and swimming without the indulgence of too many breaks in between.
You will be required to build up strength in your core body and muscles. For this, squats are a good form of strengthening leg muscles. Begin by achieving three sets of eight squats each. Adding planks and crunches to your activity could also boost the strengthening process.
A certain amount of flexibility of the body can go a long way in trekking comfortably. Try out some stretching exercises for this focusing on your hamstrings, quadriceps, hip flexors, lower back muscles and shoulders on a regular basis. These exercises will enable you to bear the weight of that backpack (no matter how light) and keep you in shape before the trek.

They say that the grass is always greener on the other side. Now, I will readily admit that I have no idea just who exactly they are, but I am very prepared to argue that these alien monkey people definitely haven't been visiting my house lately. Because in order for someone to compare the relative greenness of grass, well, one actually needs to have some.
Apparently, I'm not allowed to have any. I'm guessing I must have offended the gods of Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass at some point. Maybe I shouldn't have spent my apartment-living twenties claiming that when I did, someday, own a home, I was going to have the yard paved for easy maintenance and 360-degree parking. Whatever it was, I'm paying the price for it now. Put simply: I simply cannot make grass grow in my yard.
Yes, I did say grass. That green stuff that's everywhere you look? Yeah, it doesn't grow for me. It grows in the crack between sidewalks, and in mulch-beds, but it won't so much as peek up out of the ground at my address.
I'm pretty sure it's like one of the most successful species on the planet. It's supposed to grow anywhere you've got dirt, water, and sun. Well, let's see…maybe I'm missing something, then. Dirt? Yep, got a yard full of it. Water? Check. Sunlight? You betcha. Grass growth…oh sorry, pal, you might have better luck buying a Multi-Lotto ticket instead.
In years past, one might have made the argument that my dedication to seeing tiny shoots of that particular society-approved weed was maybe, um, a little lax. I believe I've mentioned this before, but when it comes to a green thumb, my own fat little opposable digits are about as black as Cruella Deville's Dalmatian-coat-wanting soul. And even beyond my lack of skill growing greenish-tinged things (besides refrigerator molds, of course) , I've admittedly never shown much interesting in cultivating anything capable of photosynthesis. My world used to be primarily about technology and toys; silicon over carbon.
Besides, it's not like we really need carbon dioxide to be converted to oxygen, right? They just pipe that stuff directly into data centers so that on the off chance technical-types like myself happen to come down off a sugar-and-caffeine-induced work-buzz, we can keep chugging right along like a pensioner on a 36-hour Las Vegas blackjack bender. And we all know that anything that comes out of pipes gets taken for granted.
Fortunately or not, my relatively recent growth as a human has led me to understand that perhaps my former anti-greenery position was a bit short-sighted. That doesn't mean I'm going to go out and drop a C-note on philodendrons or a nice fern, and I'm not looking to start living among the glow-trees of Pandora with the blue people. But I suppose I can see why plant life is at least a little worthwhile.
Then again, all this posturing that I want my grass to grow for a higher purpose might just be a little bit disingenuous. See, what really happened is that we had some work done in the yard a couple of weeks ago. It was the kind of work that starts with a Bobcat (the machine, not the animal) and ends with grass seed and straw-covered mud. Unfortunately, now that we've had a couple of days featuring winds gusty enough to get Dorothy to Oz, that straw was blown to the four corners of our yard.
So I spent most of Sunday afternoon raking straw back onto the mud, except apparently for the portion of it that escaped and was carried by the wind to wherever socks in the laundry go. I then watered my newly recovered mud (and hopefully the dormant grass seed beneath) all day, which is obviously why it rained enough on Monday to get people Googling* phrases like "Ark blueprints" and "animal husbandry at sea".
At this point, after three days of rain and watering, my yard largely resembles a Wonka-style chocolate pudding field. And there are certainly no fledgling shoots of grass to be found. So, I'm considering starting a pig farm. Pigs like mud, right?
Plus, bacon…tasty bacon. That's better than oxygen any old day of the week.
*Well, yes, of course that's a verb.

Interested in Tulum?
We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for Tulum each week.
Topics include Dining Scene, Mexico: For Foreign Visitors & more!
By taxi
If you need a taxi to get somewhere from your hotel, you can either ask your hotel´s receptionist, who should have a cell phone or a radio to call the taxi center in the pueblo, or you can just stand out on the coastal highway and flag one down (this is often faster, especially in the high season, when there are more taxis around). To get a taxi in Tulum pueblo, either flag one down on the main avenue, or head straight to the taxi center, across the street from Don Cafeto near the beginning (north end) of the pueblo.
By bus
There are also buses that travel between Tulum and Playa Del Carmen. There are various classes. The first class ones have a/c and don't stop along the highway to pick up passengers, they head straight to their destination. The second class buses will sometimes make a lot of stops along the highway to pick up additional passengers, making the ride a little longer. There are terminals in both towns where you can purchase tickets (Tulum has one main terminal in the pueblo, and a smaller terminal near the ruins). The first class buses fill up faster, as they are much quicker. You can take the other buses in the same way as the colectivos, with similar fares.
By colectivo
The easiest (and cheapest) way to get around is by Colectivo. These are little white vans that go up and down the highway between Playa Del Carmen and Tulum every 10 minutes or so. The fares range depending on how far you want to go, but the most you should pay is 25 pesos (about $2.50USD), most of the time you pay 15 pesos. You just stand on the edge of the highway in the direction you would like to go, and if there is room in the van the driver will flash their lights. All you do is wave and they will pull over. Tell the driver where you would like to go, and he will drop you there. You pay him as you exit. You don't have to worry about having exact change, as they usually do, but big bills are probably not a good idea. Collectivos are primarily used by locals, so flashing large amounts of cash is not wise. Also be aware, they drop you off only along the highway, so for some places that are a long ways off the road ie) Yal Ku Lagoon, Tulum Ruins, you may want to consider a taxi. They charge a lot of money, but some people prefer them as they take you directly to where you want to go.Get the price before you get in. They are usually set fares, and there's not really any negotiating involved.
By bike
Bicycles may be rented in Tulum pueblo, or at Punta Piedra cabanas on the beach. They are an inexpensive way to get around to the ruins, Tulum pueblo, or to many of the area´s cenotes.

In a perfect world, you'll have all the money you need to cover emergencies and do not have to borrow cash from anyone. The truth, however, is that the world simply does not work that way. Financial issues are bound to happen at one point or another.
If you're planning to apply for a personal loan to get through hard times, you need to know what you're getting yourself into. As industry professional Rapid Loans explains, "Managing your finances is no easy feat, especially when you're feeling the pinch. Add a personal loan to the mix and you can start to feel overwhelmed in no time flat. The thing about personal loans is that they can actually be a tool for better managing your money when times get a little tough".
Read on to know the things you should keep in mind when you get a personal loan:
Credit Score
First, determine what credit score is required. Most lenders base their decisions on one's detailed credit profile. This means they will thoroughly analyse your monthly income, debt to income ratios and your history of paying bills on time. Approval is easier to come by if you simply remember that the higher credit score, the better.
Interest Rate
After checking your credit report, you now need to know the possible interest rate for your personal loan. Some lenders charge low rates for borrowers with great credit profile. Those who have poor credit, however, tend to receive higher interest rates than with credit cards.
Another key factor you should figure out is if collateral is required. Some lenders require one to give up the title to the property or vehicle in exchange of the money. The good thing about this option is that borrowers still get to keep possession of the car or remain in the house.
Repayment Period
Before borrowing some money, be sure you have the income to repay it. If your loan amount is $3,000 and you prefer to pay on monthly basis, the amount you will have to pay can be $362.54. That overall price still depends on the interest rate and type of loan your lender has approved, though.
Getting a personal loan need not have to be complicated. Do an extensive research and get some professional help, if needed.

To expand on that a little, Constantine was a Christian from Tunisia who spent the final part of his life as a Benedictine at Monte Cassino Abbey in Italy. As a translator of the medical greats, he helped change the course of primitive western medicine. So he does have an affinity with today's social media hepcats.
I can't understand how Constantine is still writing 920 years after his death, but it's possible he is getting social-media coaching from a digital humanities hero, Professor Monica H. Green of Arizona State University. So far Constantine has just 188 Twitter followers and he really needs a boost, considering all the hard work he put into making people well. So hop over to Twitter and follow him.
Incidentally, Constantine's work shows up in at least two of the seven codices digitized by the Vatican Library this week:
- Vat.lat.649, a 12th-century Haymo of Halberstadt: In Epistolas Pauli omnes on the epistles. Here's an initial for De Virginibus praeceptum:
- Vat.lat.2132 (Upgraded to HQ), Paul of Venice on logic
- Vat.lat.2416 (Upgraded to HQ), a densely written 14th-century compendium of mainly Arab medicine, including fols. 51v-55v: Constantinus Africanus, De stomachi affectionibus liber, cap. 1-25. eTK lists incipits: Abaseph id est puncti III; Alasef id est puncti rubei
- Vat.lat.2424, the Brevarium, a medical work, by Yahya ibn Sarafyun (9th century) a Syriac physician, known in Europe as Johannes Serapion
- Vat.lat.2441, medicines
- Vat.lat.2454, 14th-century compilation of translations by Constantine Africanus
- Vat.lat.2940, a 15th-century student's compendium with everything from Cicero and Pliny to Boccaccio

Liven up your kitchen or family room with a message center that suits your style.Let's face it, we all need reminders from time to time, which is why chalkboards are so useful in common areas of the home. They're the perfect place to jot down chores, grocery lists, appointments and phone messages for everyone to see. And they make great billboards for sharing notes with your family. Here's how to create a custom chalkboard that fits your décor.
1. Choose a picture frame of a size and style that complements your interior design. Remove the glass pane from the frame.
2. Firmly apply strips of 2-inch masking tape to the back (inside) of the glass pane to strengthen the outer surface.
3. Spray the front (outside) of the glass pane with a coat of chalkboard spray paint. Let dry, then repeat until uniformly coated.
4. Once dry, place the painted glass back in the frame and attach the frame backing.
5. Hang the frame securely to the wall. Now grab a piece of chalk and write a message to yourself: job well done!

Monero Magazine – Programmed for Wealth: Affluence Network
Bitcoin is the chief cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or any other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it's more resistant to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can easily be realized by simply being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of ownership in the wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for broadcast trades on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and support these trades. Bitcoin miners do this because they can bring in transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but they also take part in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables innovative dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain constantly leaves public proof a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used within an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Since one of the oldest forms of earning money is in cash lending, it is a fact that one can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites now focus on Bitcoin, some of those sites you might be demanded fill in a captcha after a certain period of time and are rewarded with a bit of coins for visiting them. It is possible to visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite poor liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with a fair investment strategy. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the variety of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This situation is not to imply that markets aren't vulnerable to price manipulation, yet there is no need for big sums of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The merest events on earth market can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. When searching forMonero Magazine, there are many things to think about.
Monero Magazine: Your Coin for The Future – Affluence Network
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Monero Magazine. For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not essential to comprehend how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it is essentially vital that you comprehend that there is a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we understand them now where Authorities and banks can simply select to print endless amounts (I 'm not saying they're doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. Lots of people would rather use a money deflation, notably those who want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial privacy, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in trade; If you are living pay check to pay check, it would happen as part of your riches, with the rest reserved for other currencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the various nodes of the network has become the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies offering long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which finally joins in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the information to flow without interruption, in the right area at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet collectively these companies decide how it operates, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to phone to get it fixed. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these issues are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any centralized company. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a committed advocate badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works present built-in problems to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too quickly, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could increase drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business which could result in business being unable to continue to operate or to cease operation.

Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a special address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in precisely the same manner that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is only a representation of worth, but there is absolutely no actual palpable kind of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have greater chance of solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, depending on the number of "shares" won.
If you are thinking about going it alone, it really is worth noting the software configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter path. This option also creates a secure stream of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to totally block the reward. The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the dynamics of the protocol where it is transacted. All purchases over a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. When youare paid, you get paid. This is not anything short term where your customers may dispute or need a refunds, or employ illegal sleight of hand. Used, most merchants will be a good idea to work with a cost processor, due to the irreversible dynamics of crypto-currency transactions, you should make sure that safety is difficult. With any form of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially gain access to your private tips and so take your cash. Sadly, you almost certainly will never have it back. It is quite crucial for you to undertake some very good safe and secure practices when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing this may guard you from all of these unfavorable activities. In the case of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it might even be traded as being a commodity. Proponents of cryptocurrencies say that this kind of online income is not controlled by way of a central bank system and it is not thus subject to the whims of its inflation. Since there are a restricted quantity of products, this money's worth is based on market forces, enabling owners to industry over cryptocurrency transactions.

Day 2 with Gwen was her Small Studies. Here are a few of her samples. They are simply amazing, and although they are in her book, it is go great to see them again in person.
Of course you can click on the photos to get a better look. Most of these pieces are about 10" x 12" by my guesstimation. Is that even a word? Well, it works for me. Love the triangles, bottom right piece in picture below.
There was a few members from the Vancouver, BC MQG who came for the three days and a few made the trek up from the Seattle area on day one. It's so great to get into a workshop with people that work in ways that I don't. I did not partake in much of the "small" part of this workshop, but many of the students carried on to Monday, which was an open sew day with Gwen. Most continued their small studies and I really saw some amazing work. Here is one student with Gwen and her work in the background. Loved the 2 color piece. Those who worked on their small studies for 2 days really had amazing work on the second day. I think that is the value in having a workshop that lasts more than one day.
My 'small' studies ended up in my liberated log cabins. Those little squares are 1/4" finished. Fun, but fiddly for me.
More work from the other students, simply FABULOUS.
Love the two pieces on the right.
The soft colors in this piece were really special. I could see this piece being blown up into something 60 x 60. Who knows, maybe Krista will make a series of these small studies.
Here is Krista with her new book. What a lot of work it was to put this together. She told us a bit of her journey to publication and it's not for the faint of heart. Oh, and by the way, Krista won 1st place in her category at QuiltCon. Click on the link to see her piece, Blackbird Fly. Congratulations go out to her. She's having a great year so far!
As for me, I got energized and have moved a lot closer to finished on a piece I started in Gwen's workshop in 2011. I'm still working away on a few other things, and have a big announcement on Monday morning.
Have a great weekend, and I hope you get some stitching time!

Though it takes us by complete surprise, this week is Thanksgiving; and with that means the holidays are upon us, ready or not.
I wanted to start the season with something that resonated with the child within us all, without yet fully embracing the holidays. Who better than Kenneth Grahame to meet the need?
We here at The Jade Sphinx think one of the greatest classics of English literature is a novel for serious children and frivolous adults, the magisterial Wind in the Willows (1908), by Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932).
Willows, like most of Grahame's oeuvre, focuses around ideas of escape: Rat and Mole spend their boyish bachelorhood picnicking along the riverbank, simply "messing around in boats." His book the Pagan Papers (1893), is about the joyous sense of freedom he had in his youth (and, by comparison), the lack of such freedoms he had in adulthood.
This is not surprising considering Grahame's tumultuous life. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. His mother died when he was five, and his alcoholic father gave young Kenneth and his brothers and sister to the children's grandmother, in Cookham in Berkshire. Grahame loved the countryside there, and it was there that he was introduced to the pleasures of boating. These years in Cookham would be remembered as the happiest of his life.
Following his years at St. Edward's School in Oxford, Grahame wanted to attend Oxford University. He could not do so, his guardians claiming that it was too expensive. Instead, this sensitive and introverted boy was sent to work at the Bank of England in 1879, where he rose through the ranks until retiring as its Secretary in 1908. The reason for his retirement was that an anarchist broke into the bank and shot at Grahame three times, missing each shot. The incident forever shattered his nerves; he would move back to the country in an effort to find peace.
Grahame published his first book, The Pagan Papers, in 1893. He would follow this with his first two great novels about children, The Golden Age (1895) and Dream Days (1898). He would not write again until after marrying Elspeth Thomson in 1899. They had one child, a son named Alastair (nicknamed Mouse), born blind in one eye and plagued by various mental problems. Grahame would tell Mouse stories about the woodland denizens around them. These stories would eventually morph into Wind in the Willows.
Sadly, the stories provided only a limited amount of succor to Alastair, who would commit suicide by lying on a railway track two days before his 20th birthday. The train would completely sever the boy's head from his body, and Grahame was called to identify the remains. The sight would haunt him for the rest of his life.
John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) was one of the greatest, and most prolific, of fin de siècle artists. A gifted portraitist, Sargent was also painter of many magnificent landscapes, a champion draughtsman and watercolorist, and he also painted the mighty frescoes found in the Boston Public Library and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
We will look at Sargent's life in a little more detail tomorrow, but for now: after a lifetime of painting some of the finest portraits of his generation, Sargent painted less and drew more as he grew older. He found drawing a release from painting; providing him with much the same sense of freedom Grahame had sought all his life.
Sargent was able, with a stick of charcoal, to capture the essence of his sitter in a few hours (sometimes … a few minutes), relieving him of the burdensome process of multiple sittings and coloration. There are dozens of Sargent portrait drawings … and after the holidays, we'll look at a few more.
But now, look at how Sargent masterfully captures Grahame. Drawn in 1922, just two years after the suicide of Alistair, here is a man who was shot at in more ways than one. His face has an austere quality, which is not surprising as he was reported to be emotionally distant … but what Sargent captures more than distance is disguise. Grahame's mouth is large and sensual, his chin strong and resolute. But both of these features are hidden by an enormous walrus mustache; these were not uncommon in Edwardian men, but one feels that Sargent knew that the point was concealment and not fashion. Half of Grahame's face is in shadow, as if he would hide from us, if he could.
In terms of technique, it's amazing what Sargent can accomplish with a few simple strokes. His drawing is never fussy or overdone; the scattered quality of Grahame's hair is suggested with some powerful strategic strokes, his shirt and jacket survive as just the barest outlines. The planes of his face have been roughed-in with some hatching on the side of his charcoal, but the wonderful (and evocative!) lower lids of his eyes have been caught out with eraser.
The entire picture is a little master's class in quick portraiture, and it tells us a great deal about the genius behind The Wind in the Willows. A sad and tragic man is here, revealed by Sargent's incomparable skill.
Another Sargent drawing tomorrow!

Midfielder Ashley Nicholls has admitted he would like to leave Darlington for a club nearer his home in Ipswich.
But the 22-year-old, who has struggled to settle in the North-east since arriving 18 months ago, is determined to pull out all the stops to help Darlington climb the table.
Always open and honest, Ash has promised fans, and team-mates, that he will not let them down.
"The way I feel personally will not reflect what happens on the pitch. I will always give 100 per cent," he stressed.
"What I do on the pitch reflects me as a person, and I will not let myself, the fans or my team-mates down, or show them any disrespect.
"Nobody wants a sulker in the team, and I'm fully up for it every time I play or train.
"In fact the football is not a problem.
" It's the other aspects of my life that I have to deal with.
"The longer I'm away from home the easier it gets, because you do get used to being away from family and friends.
"But I want to move south, though until that opportunity comes - and I must make it come by playing well - I will give Darlington everything.
"The fans have been good to me, and playing first team football here has been, and is, a fabulous experience.
"In every match I play, my aim is to be the best player on the pitch. I will never achieve that all the time, but that's the aim."
And Ash revealed that winning games and helping the team up the league is far more important than lack of wages, or the club being in administration.
"I wish we were at the top of the league and not getting paid," he said. "Being in administration makes things worse, but it's not the main concern of the players - football is.
"And the manager David Hodgson is great at motivating us. When I was training with the first team at Ipswich and we were having a bad run, it showed in training.
"At Darlington it doesn't. Everyone is positive and determined to start winning again. No-one is losing hope. We all believe those wins are just around the corner.
"The manager encourages us to play good football, and that gives us the chance to win games.
"It's only poor finishing that has stopped us, and that can't go on. We're bound to start scoring chances if we create as many as we did at Orient last week. That game was unbelievable."
Ash scored seven goals last season, but has yet to get off the mark this time around.
"I've tried to do the same things this season, but chances haven't come my way. I missed several one on ones last season, whereas this season I have had only one, and was brought down.
"That was at Mansfield, the first game we lost after a good unbeaten run.
"It might seem ridiculous to blame one game, but that one set us back a long way. We got some dreadful refereeing decisions.
"I felt that he (Trevor Kettle) was the worst referee I have ever come across, and from then it has been downhill all the way.
"At the start of the season I felt we could do well, and it looked that way in September.
"But since things started going wrong they have snowballed.
"But there is not much to choose between the sides in this division, and I feel that with one good game when we get the breaks, we could be back on track."
A lack of goals has been the main concern this season, with seven of the 25 league goals scored coming from defenders.
Barry Conlon has chipped in with six, but most of the rest have come from wide positions, with the central midfielders not contributing enough.
Considering no-one who has played up front has been prolific, it is obvious where the problems lie.
Yet the team plays an attack-minded wing-back system, geared to ensure that they get plenty of balls into the penalty area.
However all managers admit that their main concern is getting their side to create chances and Darlington are certainly doing that.

Have got small businesses and not yet upgraded to online mode and still thinking why your 'once flourishing sale' has gone down in recent times despite the shop renovation and other amenities?
While you may not accept this, but a major chunk of your sales' figure has and is being eaten by your formidable online opponents who are also getting even your loyal customers' 'new found' patronage!
Yes, this is happening even when your shop is closed but since online shopping website is live 24/7; this is making things even more difficult for you as you are unable to provide a 24 hour open window to customers to shop.
Thus, an online presence is a must nowadays and equally crucial to a small business when compared to other business aspects. But, just going online is not enough, getting online with a shabby website will also do more harm than good.
Let's quickly provide you some inputs on how having a good website and that too in correct way could help your small businesses to go way ahead of your competitors and business game.

What's more, having detailed pictured showcase of your products and services can easily announce to your customers as to what is on offer from your side to them.
And yes, the use of to-quality images used in the website also provides another advantage- your business is bound or more likely to be noticed on rich image laden websites such as Pinterest.
Customer Management Tools
Some websites come in-built with CRM capabilities to aid and manage one's existing customers.
A customer contact list, custom enquiry forms, SMS alerts and email marketing alike tools would surely enhance your capacity to engage with customers even more.
Visibility Counts
Endless websites are mushrooming around daily and adding to an already bunch of countless other websites and making the web a highly crowded place.
As a result, you must take efforts to make your web presence visible to your end-users and the best way to do is to climb up the ladder of search engine results such as Google.
Thus, while you must opt for a web presence in the form of websites these days, you must choose aforesaid elements to be present in your website to give your small businesses an upper hand when it comes to sales, patronage, competition and search engine visibility.

What I'm Wearing
Earrings: ALDO
Bracelets: Forever 21 + ASOS
Necklace: Delia's (gift)
Rings: Forever 21 + Charming Charlie
Fur Vest: H&M ($15)
Red Cashmere Scarf: old
Camel Dolman Sleeved Sweater: H&M ($10)
Cream High-Waisted Shorts: H&M (thrifted $6)
Chambray Button Down: H&M ($5)
Cherry Red Tights: JCPenney ($3)
Brown Combat Boots: Steve Madden (my sister's closet)
Bronze Handbag: H&M (gift)
Most of you are aware of how often I borrow my sisters' items to complete my looks. Well, on this day, I walked into my eldest sister's room and she, excitedly, said, "Hey, I've seen this outfit before!" I didn't have to look down to know she was referring to my first ever shorts and tights outfit.
I actually meant for the outfits to be similar, in a sense, but not identical (you can see the obvious differences.) Together, red, camel, and cream create such an admirable fall color combo. When done well, you seriously can't go wrong (and it's hard not to do well. They seriously work together on their own!)
For more ideas on how to mix and match colors, check out my colors page! You can even search my outfits by color (and pattern!) to observe the ways I've played around with colors. Challenge yourself: Don't wear black for a whole week!
P.S. I made this fun GIF and put it on my Tumblr. Hehe, I hope you like it!

This week over on Created By Hand and Quietfire Creations the theme is Paper Piecing. I've looked up the word in the past, but the definition was rather general, so I did a deeper search this time. Now at least, I have a clearer understanding of what Paper Piecing is really about.
I had a lot of fun making this card. Very whimsical for me.
Click on card to see details and descriptions etc. Enjoy.
And once again I'm using my favorite Happy Birthday stamp by Quietfire Design
It also fits for this challenge

The Verge:
There's not really a bright side here for consumers. Internet providers asked for permission to start sharing your private data again, and without much of a fight, they're about to get it.
If ISPs are incapable of competing with services people actually want, the FCC shouldn't be working to prop them up.

Looking forward to attending the Smagam from tomorrow til Monday. As with every year, being able to take a week out (or in my case study while enjoying the keertan!) and just enjoy the gurbani, the sangat and the chance to sit in front of our King of Kings and ask for His blessing.
See below for poster and schedule:

Working principle and use method of NC bus bending machine
This is the bending of the thin plate CNC bus bending machine mold. The CNC bus bending machine mold includes a bracket, a table and a clamping plate. When used, the coil is energized by the wire, and the pressing force is applied to the pressing plate after the power is applied to realize the clamping of the sheet between the pressing plate and the base. As a result of the use of electromagnetic force clamping, CNC Busbar Bending Machine making the press can be made of a variety of workpiece requirements, but also for the sidewall of the workpiece processing, operation is also very simple.
According to the ordinary CNC bus bending machine mold processing Q235 sheet to do a brief introduction:
1, first turn on the power, open the switch on the control panel, and then start the pump, so you hear the oil pump turn the sound (at this time the machine does not move). The following are the same as the "
2, stroke adjustment, use must pay attention to adjust the trip, before the bend must be tested. Its upper mold down to the bottom of the bottom must ensure that there is a thick gap. Otherwise it will cause damage to the mold machine. The adjustment of the stroke is also an electric quick adjustment. The following are the same as the "
3, bending slot selection, generally choose the thickness of 8 times the width of the slot. CNC Busbar Bending Machine Such as bending 4mm of the sheet, need to choose about 32 of the slot.
4, after the block adjustment are generally electric quick adjustment and manual fine-tuning, with the cutting plate machine.
5, press the foot switch to start bending, CNC bus bending machine mold and cutting plate machine is different, you can release at any time, release the foot will stop, continue to step on the line. Plastic bending machine mold, plastic folding machine, plastic plate CNC bus bending machine mold, plastic sheet bending plastic sheet directly bent, no need to splice, no slot, no need to use the electrode, Beautiful watertight, CNC Busbar Bending Machine it will hand welding into a fully automated machine operation, improve the quality, improve labor efficiency, reduce labor costs, greatly shorten the product production cycle. Automatic plastic angle machine is an electrical integration of automatic machinery and equipment. It is developed according to the principle of plastic plate heating and softening welding. It is suitable for all thermoplastic materials. Speed, angle treatment surface beautiful, high strength. Hydraulic shears are divided into pendulum and gate type. Pendulum activated carbon because it is circular motion, and circular blade production is quite difficult, usually with the blade after the horn compensation, so the gap is not accurate, Cut out the sheet is not very good because it is curved movement, the blade can not be made into a rectangular, but should be made acute angle, so the blade of the force is not ideal, the blade damage is more powerful.
The domestic representative of the board machine is Tianshui Machine Tool Plant and the punching and shearing machine factory, and the gate hydraulic cutting plate machine overcomes all the above problems, but the domestic manufacturers can do the gate shearing machine. Compared with the cutting plate machine, CNC bus bending machine mold technical content to be slightly higher.Currently domestic G-shaped and F-shaped, F-shaped should be the traditional products, its use is built-in adjustable Mechanical block positioning, because it is built-in anti-partial load capacity is quite weak, so there are yellow stone in the early NC bus bending machine mold with a balance valve, CNC Busbar Bending Machine but also because of hydraulic, complicated, to the late maintenance and stability to bring very The latter is in the F-type models improved after the G-type, the use of external skateboard mechanical positioning, compared with the F-type it is more simple, easier to debug, even in the case of the difference between the two sides of the situation Can be lifted by non-professionals with gasket to lift the problem.

Lets start with container files. I think these are fairly easy to get your head around (codecs are a bit more complex in my opinion).
Container File
A container file is a single file that has more than one file type in it. Zip files (if you know about them) are a good way of remembering this; you can zip up a load of files into one single (zip) file, as shown below. This is a convenient way to send loads of files at once to someone else (it also allows compression but we are not interested in that at the mo).
Depending on where you look codec stands for Compress/Decompress or Code/Decode. (For the Higher Computing exam consider it to stand for both!). It does what it says on the tin, it encodes a multimedia file in some format (there are lots of different codecs) and then decodes it at the other end (when you play it).
While I remember I don't think I put this on a blog post (even though I think you are all pretty clear on what streaming is!). Streaming is the viewing of (or listening to) multimedia data while it downloads. It is what we do all the time on video website such as youtube and increasingly on excellent multimedia applications such as the bbc's iplayer (where you can stream tv from the last week).
Powerpoint Notes for Container Files / Codecs:

On a lighter note... We did it! We moved! I spent most of this past week getting settled in, working from coffee shops around town, and helping Zephyr adjust to his new digs (he's having a rough time adjusting, a point he's been making clear every night from 3-5am with a whole lot of yowling). We still have a ton of unpacking to do, and will most likely draw it out a bit as we also work on cutting down on our belongings while we unearth boxes that have been in storage for five months. Chris and I are determined to not relive past mistakes, when we've been pressed for time and ended up with secret disorganized messes – we've already cut down on our kitchen stuff by about 50%, something I'm feeling really proud of. This will be our first official weekend as Portlanders, and I'm looking forward to checking out some secondhand furniture places (we're looking for rugs, a desk, and some lamps), taking a much-needed trip to the beach (it's just down the street now!), and maybe grabbing a diner breakfast.
