nobody knows for 100% sure. heck nobody can even get 99% on predicting the weather 24hrs ahead.
But 'man made' climate change believers tell us we cant use weather events as any indication of climate change, then say x, y, z weather events are indications of climate change...
And then you have to buy electric cars. But how much CO2 is produced buying electric cars? Oh and it turns out they drink a lot of coffee on the go. Did they know the recyclable cups are not recyclable? Oh and they buy all these stuff all the time - did they know how much packaging comes in the stuff they buy? And the shipping all the way from China is by Boeing 747 freight? I'm more worried about the slave conditions of the people who mine the ingredients and the factory workers who build them. Then some of them have holidays every other week ...
So you're saying it's too difficult and why should we even try? How dare we try leave this planet in a better condition than when we started?.....
Electric Cars throughout their life (especially in NZ) produce FAR less CO2 than an ICE equivalent, including the cost of production and transportation.
Most Coffee shops in NZ use recycled cardboard in their cups (go have a look through a few, and if they don't, then ask them to)
I understand you think "Climate Change Believers" (is that what we're called? I thought it was just intelligence to accept current scientific understandings..) are hypocrits for saying we should improve our way of life, but we're not. We're merely trying to make a change to a bad situation....
It's not just too difficult to control the planets climate, we cant. it's laughable that some (including scientists) think we can.
How much CO2 is produced making electric cars and recycled products? All this does is shift the CO2 production from usage to production and supply. What's going to happen to all the billions of obsolete fossil fuel vehicles?
You obviously dont understand what I think of 'climate change believers any more than what I think of climate change deniers. Sufficient to say hypocrites isn't a term I use. What about the current scientific understandings that that dont always show the climate is changing for the worse?
The planets climate is in a constant state of change, That is how it works, and has always worked. EOS

Like most of Vancouver, we are very much looking forward to summer. We are
looking forward to barbecues, to sunny bike rides in the park, to breakfast on the
sundeck, and to afternoon slurpee headaches. We can't wait to walk in shorts to
work, to blast the AC and to gaze out to watch 4th Ave sizzle in the heat.
But for now, it's spring. And this spring, like every spring, we'll be busy getting
everyone ready for summer driving.
Around this time of year, the dealerships and the chains start offering
"Get Ready for Summer" specials. Oil changes, really. Fifty point inspections
and a coolant flush, perhaps.
We don't have a flashy $150 or $200 special because our prices are based on
what your car needs, not a checklist. Usually it'll cost somewhere between $100
and $300. Rest assured, we can give you an exact estimate before the work begins.
So what does a car need during its spring service? What does a Continental spring
service include?
Continental's Super Duper, Spring Fling,
We Love It When Things Rhyme,
Get Ready for Summer Special:
We'll change your oil and filter. We'll have a really good look at your brakes, suspension
and steering. Winter can be particularly hard on these parts. We'll make sure your tires
will survive the hot run to your favourite campsite (even with a full trunk). We'll check
your cooling system and address any leaks or problems. We'll test your AC system and
let you know if it could be colder. We'll make sure all your lights work because winter
often corrodes the bulbs and sockets.
In short we'll do everything your car needs to shake off its winter coat and pull on it's bikini.
Um. Hmmm… car bikini. That's an odd image right there. Car bikinis. The next big thing.
You heard it here first folks.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — From the women's marches around the U.S. to anti-government protests in Iran, examples of democratic dissent are all around us. A one-credit course offered by the College of the Liberal Arts this spring will look to the history of dissent to determine how and why dissent is an important part of democratic participation in general.
"Democratic Dissent: From Protest to Policy" will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays starting March 14 and running through April 25, in 108 Wartik Laboratory. The one-credit course is available to any undergraduate student as LA 297, section 2.
Students will analyze material from the Voices of Democracy archive and develop a plan for practicing dissent. The course will also include guest lectures that encompass a variety of disciplines and viewpoints. Bradford Vivian, associate professor of Communication Arts and Sciences and director of the Center for Democratic Deliberation, will teach the course.
"The goal of the course is to explore various modes of dissent in society and consider how dissent can be productive to democratic society, as well as how it can be harmful if not done well," Vivian said.
This course is one of two special-mission classes being offered this spring by the College of the Liberal Arts as part of the ongoing Liberal Arts Edge initiative to approach real-world news and events from multiple perspectives. Last semester's Edge seminar, "Interrogating Prejudice," covered racial bias after protests in Charlottesville.
"The purpose of a world-class, 21st-century liberal arts education is to give people the tools to think creatively, constructively and critically about the lives they are living now," said Paul C. Taylor, associate dean for undergraduate studies in the College of the Liberal Arts.
Students interested in registering for "Democratic Dissent: From Protest to Policy" should submit a statement of interest by Feb. 15 at sites.psu.edu/democraticdissent/.
The Center for Democratic Deliberation is a center of excellence in the McCourtney Institute for Democracy.

HPFT's Spot the Signs campaign launches free life-saving "Stay Alive" App
10 May 19 - 10 May 20
A free life-saving App called "Stay Alive" which is packed with really useful features to help people stay mentally well has been launched in Hertfordshire. The App's aim is to help people in times of crisis to feel that suicide is not their only option. It has tools to help keep people safer, together with details of the emergency or support services to contact in Hertfordshire
The team behind HPFT's Spot the Signs and Save a Life campaign hosted a launch event on 9 May. It was attended by representatives from the Hertfordshire Suicide Prevention Network and other organisations who are all keen to support people in Hertfordshire with mental health problems.
According to Office of National Statistics in 2017 the highest suicide rate in the UK was for men aged 45-49. The Hertfordshire Suicide Audit 2015/16 identified a total of 56 deaths by suicide in Hertfordshire and 50% of those who took their own lives were by people who had not accessed mental health services.
HPFT's Chief Executive Tom Cahill said: "Every suicide is devastating for the vulnerable person, as well as their family, friends and colleagues. Pooling our ideas and working together to help prevent suicides happening and to raise awareness is the best way forward.
"We're keen to use digital technology to help us to reach the vast numbers of people who primarily use their phones to find information. The Stay Alive App is for anyone who experiences suicidal thoughts, as well as those who might be worried about somebody else. Helping spread the word and encouraging people to download and start using this App could save somebody's life."
Richard, a Tring resident spoke at the event from personal experience and said: "Informing family and friends of the death of our son, was the hardest thing we have ever had to do. We feel the App will help reduce the number of people experiencing a similar situation.'
The Stay Alive App was developed by Grassroots – a charity specialising in suicide prevention. It includes a self-care section which includes breathing exercises and a LifeBox for storing special memories including photos and inspirational quotes. You can download it for free by following this link on your phone: bit.ly/StayAliveHerts

Nursery & School Open Morning
Nursery Stay & Play
Bring your little one along to our free 'stay and play' morning sessions on the first Friday of the month, during term-time.
These themed, fun-filled sessions are linked to early years learning and open to any child aged two, three or four accompanied by a parent, grandparent or other guardian.
They run from 9:30 – 11:00 am and forthcoming dates are:
Friday 17 January 2020
Friday 7 February 2020
Friday 6th March 2020
For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com
A guided tour at a time to suit you
In addition to our open events, we offer private visits on a day and at a time to suit you. Your family will receive a guided tour by two of our older pupils who will answer any questions you may have about life at Kingscourt. During your tour, you will see activities and lessons in action and talk to teachers.
Headteacher, Mr Jamie Lewis will meet with you during your visit and discuss your individual circumstances and requirements.
Taster Days
Most children join us at Nursery, aged three or four, and these children are guaranteed a place in our Reception, which is the start of formal school. However, we do welcome children into Pre Prep or Prep providing there is space available in your child's year group.
We invite children seeking admission into Pre Prep or Prep to join us for a taster day. This is the best opportunity for your child to get a feel for the school and allows us to get to know them a little better too.
During the taster day, your child will join the relevant class, meet their potential classmates and teacher and take part in a short assessment. On completion of a successful taster day and assessment, the admissions process continues.

text: Search engines look fondly at websites that have high-quality links leading back to their site. Studies have found that click-through rates, conversion rates, and revenue are all higher when both organic and paid listings appear for a search. Perhaps the hacking in this case means parting from traditional marketing realms and roles. SEO basically works by predicting and guessing how the Google algorithm works (because no one can be completely sure) and then using that information in order to engineer your website to get the maximum number of hits. It means gaming the system and this in turn can allow you to'trick' Google into believing that your site should be number one.

So there I was, getting my very first cavity cleaned and filled, 'chatting' with the dentist. 'How are you?' "gerblopflllob…" 'Oh good, glad to hear that.' 'What do you study?' (Shut up you idiot and fix my tooth!) "Hchemfloptry" 'Oh, chemistry. (How the hell did he know what I said?) 'Science is so strange. You think you know something and then more evidence arrives and it was all wrong.' 'sthop trup' (so true) 'One minute people are being burned at the stake for thinking the world is round and the next people sail around it.'
With educated ignorance like this, who needs stupid people? At least my tooth filling looks good, so good in fact you can't even tell it's there. They clean it out and fill it in, sculpting it in and then the set it with UV light… very cool. But the level of ignorance was absurd. So when did the belief that Christian Europe was backward, unscientific, stupid, and killed people for observing the universe start? Well, it is amusing to read the Wikipedia entry about the flat earth concept. Apparently, Europeans have generally believed the earth is round since Pythagoras. In fact the entry becomes more and more amusing as you discover that the idea of a spherical earth came to India in the early AD centuries from exposure to… Greek astronomy, and to the Islamic scientists from the translation of Greek cosmology from Constantinople into Arabic… China was way behind, finding out about the (apparently European) idea of a spherical earth in the 17th century from the Jesuits. So why, for any reason, do so many people believe that the medieval Christians think the earth was flat? And why are so many people willing to ascribe to them the act of killing the people who held the standard belief about the earth.
The mis-characterization of the medieval times and the time following is what I consider to be the most successful, most damaging, most pervasive campaign of lies, slanders, and libels in history. Here it is in a picture:
That's right, blame the dark ages on Christianity… because they totally happened and they were totally the fault of believing in the Christian God. Despite the fact that the picture graph was obviously made by an ignorant hack without even a tenuous grasp of history of any kind, let alone scientific advancement. The sad state of the matter is that many, maybe even most, people walk around in their lives with this view of history, with this view of Christianity, and this view of the west. Now, I am sure there was some time while Rome was falling, slowly backing out of what is now Western Europe it felt pretty dark, like this:
For the end of the world was long ago,
When the ends of the world waxed free,
When Rome was sunk in a waste of slaves,
And the sun drowned in the sea.
When Caesar's sun fell out of the sky
And whoso hearkened right
Could only hear the plunging
Of the nations in the night.
Also, the science of the region fell dramatically: but you try to keep civilization going when being overrun by Vandals, Visigoths, et al. However, the purposefully forgotten piece of history is that the more populous of the Christian world at the time was the Eastern Roman Empire which survived with its science intact. Also, happily expunged are the brave and great people who cobbled civilization back together after Rome receded. Men like Alcuin who were part of this first 'renaissance' that only came to an end upon the onset of the little ice age. Alcuin is forgotten, conveniently perhaps, because one of his most important contributions was rebuking Charlemagne for his campaign of forced conversions saying this:
"Faith is a free act of the will, not a forced act. We must appeal to the conscience, not compel it by violence. You can force people to be baptized, but you cannot force them to believe."
Wikipedia (the lazy blogger's source… this is a red car (or is it a white rabbit) that I am chasing, no time for anything better than Wiki) goes on to say that in response Charlemagne abolished the death penalty for paganism in … 797 AD.
So where does the firmly held belief that Christian Europe was backward, and autocratic? I don't know, but I suspect an evil cabal 🙂 of enlightenment thinkers and their ideological descendants. If the medieval ages were not dark, than their argument against God starts crumbling…

Visit Savuti Area, Botswana
Jump to:
The Savuti Area is a rich game area in the Chobe National Park. To the north the winding Linyanti River gives way to Namibia.
There is mopane veld, the dry Savuti Channel and a number of spectacular and very busy waterholes. As you might expect with such diverse environments the game is both prolific and varied.
Savuti's elephant population
The entire area is superb for elephant but they are possibly at their most spectacular besides the waterholes. Huge breeding herds numbering hundreds can be heard trumpeting their way through the bush coming to drink. As the sun sets, watching elephant immerge from the water then trundle up the yellow plains to the forest in a cloud of dust is one of the great sights of Africa.
Savuti's diverse fauna and flora
There are tall shady forests of jackalberry, leadwood, bird plum trees and knobthorn. Particularly large troops of baboon seem to frequent these areas, feeding in the trees, the sound of their crunching and barking echoing in the air.
Then, there are kudu, roan, sable, impala and buffalo. Warthog can be seen emerging from burrows in termite mounds early in the morning, francolins scuttle off the sandy roads and tiny bushbabies can be seen leaping from tree to tree at night.

Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It's kind of difficult to review a book around which whole academic courses, PhDs and professorships are built, so just some rough impressions.
About 30 years ago, I read another Virginia Woolf novel, Between the Acts, and such was its impact I remember nothing about it. I hoped that Mrs Dalloway would, at least, be memorable, and it has, I think, met that modest requirement.
I actually found the book quite tough going; it was sometimes hard, I thought, to remember, exactly, where I might be, when the page was done, and I began to turn to another, or then perhaps flip back to find a thread that I thought was lost when the bells had rung the time in the warm afternoon when I had stood to move to the the window; then changed my mind in a dense knot of commas and semicolons, and finally to see a full-stop that I might make a dash for, but why dash for a full stop when surely another semicolon would do…
I'm sure you get my drift, so I'll quit this mimicry right now.
I felt very little sympathy for Mrs Dalloway – cold, aloof, distant, self-centred; and wanted to know more about Sally Seton. Septimus Smith's story was interesting, although too short, and mainly provided Woolf an opportunity to, it seemed, engage in an argument with the psychiatric practices of the time; it was also a chance, perhaps, to intimate that the common Tommy should never start writing and drawing, because all that creativity won't help relieve his ills — it will simply drive him mad(der) (so perhaps John Carey in The Intellectuals and the Masses is not so far off the mark).
The stream-of-consciousness technique works best in the early part of the book, where there are some headlong rushes of adjectival deliciousness that are delightful.
I found the dipping into the viewpoints of minor characters for half a page, and then never hearing their voices again, irritating.
And yet, I give four stars – for the early vertiginous dances across the stops and dashes and colons, for Lucrezia and Septimus Smith, and Sally Seton and Peter Walsh.

John McLeod is one of that small group of people who have had the good fortune to have made a dream for life come true. John started wood turning when he was 10 years of age after his father gave him a birthday present of a small treadle wood turning lathe. The actual lathe is pictured here.
John had an established career as manager of the largest plumbing and heating engineering company in Scotland involved in the plumbing and heating engineering of schools, hospitals, University buildings and some 600 houses a year. The dream of having his own wood turning business was always there and he allied that to going to the West Coast of Scotland, living in the Highlands enjoying his fishing, his shooting and his dogs and making and selling his hand turned products to markets far and wide.
In 1967 John decided to emigrate to Canada but before settling in Canada he visited Vermont and that was when it all started.
Turning down a number of employment opportunities he decided that this was the place where he wanted to make his dream come true and so in a borrowed workshop he set about making his first group of products and samples.
They were well received by the market, and in fact a display of his woodware was in the window of Georg Jensen on 5th Avenue, New York, in 1967. In addition to his wholesale business a retail store was opened in Wilmington.
By this time he was engaged in constructing a house from an 1836 barn and the workshop was in the basement.
Well time moved on and the basement was no longer big enough so the property at our present location was purchased.
The present-day, 15,000 square foot facility has developed from the property in the adjoining photograph.
In 1996 John decided to develop a method of wood turning which would ally the traditional skills with advanced technology.
This coupled to the prior years of experience and development has contributed to the unique character of our products.
None of this of course occurs without a great deal of hard work and commitment and some considerable personal expense The saving grace for John has been longevity in that he has come through all the ups and downs and been able to experience the fulfillment of his dream. He skis, he fishes, he hikes with his Labradors and he spends a great deal of time out at sea on his boat.
Retirement? No way! With Tommy to back him up and to take the daily pressures off, the business is just too interesting and too exciting to leave. There are new designs, there are new product,s there are new customers, there's new technology, there's new challenges and problems to be solved. It's all exciting.
As you can guess a wonderful support for 25 years has been John's wife Mary Ann. Her experience as a store owner in her own right in California and her expertise as a buyer for major retail companies were welcome contributions.

The Dinos men's hockey team played two games against the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns this weekend with surprisingly similar results. Both games were close ending with overtime wins for the Dinos.
The first game was played last Friday in Lethbridge was high scoring. The Dinos played a strong first period with forward Reid Jorgensen scoring the first goal of the game during a five on three power play two minutes in. Their second goal came three minutes later from forward Colton Grant off assists from forward Blake Clement and forward Teegan Moore.
"We executed on the power play, we drew some penalties and our guys capitalized on their power play opportunities," said Dinos men's hockey head coach Mark Howell.
In the second period the Dinos added to their lead in the 14th minute when defenseman Luke Egener scored with the help of a screen. The Pronghorns responded by scoring their first goal less than two minutes later. However, the Dinos regained their three goal lead on a power play goal by Jorgensen. The Dinos finished the second period with a 4-1 lead.
"Our intensity and our focus and following the game plan was very good," said Howell. "We executed systematically what we wanted to do and because of that we were able to dictate how the game was played."
The Dinos slept through the third period allowing three Pronghorn goals and were outshot 16-4. Lethbridge scored a late equalizer with less than a minute to go, dragging the game into overtime.
"I thought we played real well for two periods. We were up 4-1 and controlled the game for the most part and I thought guys followed the game plan and had good intensity," said Howell. "Unfortunately in the third period we didn't carry forward that intensity and got on our heels and watched Lethbridge come at us."
No goals were scored during overtime with both teams registering just two shots on goal, so the game went to a shootout. Dinos' forward Brock Nixon scored a decisive shootout goal that turned out to be the game winner. Dustin Butler managed to stop all three Lethbridge shooters giving the Dinos the win.
"Dustin Butler did a great job," said Howell. "You need your goaltender to be very good in shootouts and we scored on our first shoot and after that Dustin just closed the door."
The Dinos were two for four on the power play during the game with Lethbridge only scoring on one of nine power play opportunities.
The Dinos and the Pronghorns met again the next day in Calgary to play the second game of their weekend. The first period of the game was quiet with no goals scored. The teams played evenly, both managing eight shots on goal.
"I thought both goaltenders were very good. Their goaltender stopped 38 of 40 shots so he did a very good job and [Kris] Lazarak for us did a real good job," said Howell.
In the second period the Pronghorns got the edge on Calgary with Daniel Iwanski scoring their only goal of the game. Jorgensen scored for the Dinos during the third period off a setup from Colton Grant to even the game out 1-1. Like the previous game the Dinos and the Pronghorns found themselves tied at the end of regular time. Two minutes into overtime Dino Jerrid Sauer deflected a point shot from defense man Cory Pritz to score the game winning goal.
"We weren't real good for the first period and a half and didn't play with the intensity or purpose," said Howell. "Then in the third period we kind of got going better and started putting more pucks to the net and as a result we got a rebound goal."
The Dinos play their next pair of games against the UBC Thunderbirds on Oct. 22 and 23.

Benefits of Personal Yacht Charter over Major Cruise Line
On a significant cruise, you've got a great deal of business. Having a personal yacht charter it could be only you and beneath a dozen other folks, often times only your family and friends. Apart from you along with the other passengers, the sole other people onboard could function as yacht team or personnel.
Ideal for Smaller Gatherings:
Private yachts are best for small company celebrations, casual business meetings, romantic getaways, honeymoons, weddings, and even family holidays. It is difficult to hold a company meeting on a massive cruise ship with all the noise and activity going on around you.
You could have the ability to go swimming, scuba diving or snorkeling directly from the yacht. Jumping off the boat and to the sea isn't something which's encouraged on a significant cruise ship. Neither is currently fishing.
Health Considerations:
Each year it seems there is news of a few epidemics of something on a significant cruise ship. Considering all the folks aboard, it is a lot easier for diseases to be dispersed around, however difficult the team attempts to keep everything clean and sterile.

Mt Kinabalu Climb

What you should know
The closest main transport hub to Mt Kinabalu is Kota Kinabalu Airport. Kota Kinabalu Park (where the climb starts) is another 2 hours' drive from the main city center of Kota Kinabalu town. The providers will pick you up from your hotel in Kota Kinabalu town.
The Sabah State Park assigns the official guide who will accompany you up Mt Kinabalu, so the guide is not provided by the provider you choose to book through. But it's a good idea to book a local company to do all the logistical work such as obtaining permits, booking accommodation and arranging transportation as it will save you the headache of doing it on your own.
Mount Kinabalu has a relatively easy hiking route to the summit as you may be able to tell from the photos. To summit, you only need to be healthy and reasonably fit enough for a sustained uphill walk. You do not need to have rock climbing skills.
The trail is basically comprised of approx. 50% steps and 50% rocky terrain, including:
- 380 flights of steps the first day (climbing a total of 6km in one day)
- 180 flights of steps the second day (early morning)
- 380 + 180 = 560 flights of steps down on second day to reach the base of the hike
If you choose to do the via ferrata options (i.e. either Walk the Torq or Low's Peak), you will need to be a little fitter – even though the absolute distances for the via ferrata activities aren't long, they do take some time which means that you may be more tired on the way down.
2 days or 3 days depending on the option picked.
If you're deciding between providers, the main difference between the providers is that they are assigned a different number of permits. If you are booking at the last minute, it may be that some of the providers you would like to go with have sold out their permits, and you may need to go with another provider.
If you are deciding between options, there are three main options for you to choose from: Regular Descent, Walk the Torq (via ferrata) and Low's Peak (via ferrata). The key thing to note is that all three options take the same route up and down the mountain. The ONLY difference is that the via ferrata options allow for an additional activity on the side of the mountain after the summit climb. After the via ferrata activity, climbers will take the same way down the mountain as they would have, if they had done the Regular Descent option.
The via ferrata options are challenging activities that allow you to see a different side of the mountain, and some truly incredible views. We would recommended the via ferrata options for those who are fitter (because the additional activity necessarily means a delayed return to the base of the mountain and will require more stamina), and for larger groups (as it is easier to get permits for the via ferrata options).
It is important to note that even if you have booked a via ferrata option, you can always opt on the day not to do the additional activity, and just head back down the mountain as you would for the Regular Descent. So we have many people who have booked the via ferrata options as they weren't able to obtain permits for the Regular Descent, and have opted not to do the via ferrata activity.
Walk the Torq
Walk the Torq is the more mild via ferrata. The highest point of the Walk the Torq activity is at 3,520m above sea level and the 2 highlights of this activity are the 6m Monkey Rope Bridge and the 10m hanging ladder. The length of route is 380m and the activity will take on average 2 hours (i.e. so you will arrive at the base of Mt Kinabalu 2 hours after those who have opted to do the Regular Descent). This is suitable for beginner climbers.
Low's Peak
Low's Peak is the more challenging via ferrata. The highlights of this activity are: the world's highest suspension bridge at 3,600m above sea level and one of the world's highest Nepalese bridges at 3,580m above sea level. The activity will take 4-6 hours (i.e. so you will arrive at the base of Mt Kinabalu 4-6 hours after those who have opted to do the Regular Descent). This gives the best of all worlds as it connects to the Walk the Torq circuit! This is suitable for intermediate to advanced climbers.
Kota Kinabalu is a great town with a lot going on at any given point in time. If you're a fan of wandering about colourful night markets, check out the seafood at the Sinsuran Night Market which is frequented by many West Malaysians because of the relatively low prices of the seafood in Kota Kinabalu, or the Filipino Market (close to Le Meridien hotel) which bursts into life each evening and has everything from cooked food to handicraft.
Kota Kinabalu has also been voted to have some of the best sunsets in the world (we can attest to that!) so, come sunset, do head down to the waterfront to see the colours and shapes in the sky shift and change. When we were there, the sunset lingered and changed from pink to purple to a flaming orange.
Finally, the food! Kota Kinabalu has incredibly yummy food if you know where to go. A couple of our favourites are: the sticky chicken wings at Fatt Kee Coffee Shop (Ang's Hotel, Beach Street) and the dry bak kut teh at Sin Kee Bak Kut Teh (at Jalan Pantai) - they're within a minute's walk of each other so if you're hungry, you can try both! Some other places we like: Jothy Curry House for the banana roti, Keng Wan Hing for the fresh red bean bun and Grabbing Hands if you are craving a juicy burger to reward yourself after the climb.
The Mt. Kinabalu climb is a very popular destination for many locals and travellers that has been limited to 135 climbers every day. It can get booked up quickly, so we would recommend that you plan at least 3-6 months in advance.
In case of bad weather, the summit to the peak or via ferrata descent can be cancelled although ascent to Palabanrata Base Camp will most likely occur regardless of rain or high wind.

18 of the most unlikely individual goalscoring seasons ever
Stoke's Joe Allen has scored more Premier League goals in 2016/17 than in his previous four campaigns combined. But there have been much weirder goal gluts...
18. Paul Warhurst (18, 1992/93)
- Previous best: 1 (Oldham, 1989/90 and 1990/91)
- Best since: 3 (Crystal Palace, 1997/98)
Journeyman Warhurst turned out for 16 clubs throughout his career, and played pretty much everywhere on the pitch. In 1992/93, Sheffield Wednesday were suffering an injury crisis up front, and Warhurst was deployed to plug the gap.
The decision proved a masterstroke: the defender-turned-frontman grabbed 18 goals in all competitions as Wednesday reached the FA Cup and League Cup finals, and was later called up for England as a striker (but injury meant he never won a cap). A year later he was signed by Blackburn, where he picked up a Premier League winner's medal, before notable stints with Crystal Palace and Bolton were followed by a gradual descent down the English pyramid.
17. Steve Bruce (19, 1990/91)
- Previous best: 10 (Norwich, 1985/86)
- Best since: 7 (Man United, 1993/94)
Centre-back Bruce proved a reliable goal source throughout his career thanks to his set-piece bravery and decisiveness from spot-kicks, but never more so than in the 1990/91 campaign when he bagged an astonishing 19 goals in all competitions for Manchester United. With 13 of those coming in the First Division, Bruce ended up finishing the season as United's joint-leading goal-getter in the league that year.
16. Rogerio Ceni (21, 2005)
- Previous best: 8 (Sao Paulo, 2000)
- Best since: 16 (Sao Paulo, 2006)
Frustrated goalkeeper Ceni is the world's greatest-ever goalscoring netminder. He notched 131 times in a majestic 25-year career with Sao Paulo, which helped him to 16 Brazil caps from 1997 to 2006 (though he never actually scored for the Seleção).
Ceni enjoyed his best goalscoring season in 2005, when he netted an astonishing 21 goals for Sao Paulo. The set-piece specialist spent his entire career with the Tricolor and racked up over 1,200 appearances, meaning he holds two Guinness world records: one for the most games as captain of the same club, and another for the most games with one team.
15. Roque Santa Cruz (20, 2007/08)
- Previous best: 12 (Olimpia Asuncion, 1999)
- Best since: 12 (Malaga, 2012/13)
Santa Cruz was tipped for greatness when he arrived at Bayern Munich from his native Paraguay in 1999 – but suffice to say, it only came in one season. After eight stop-start seasons in Bavaria, Santa Cruz joined Blackburn for £3.5m and immediately impressed, netting 19 league goals for Rovers in his debut season.
Despite only notching three in his second, Manchester City boss Mark Hughes willingly chucked £17.5m at the player he'd signed for Rovers in 2007 – but the results were predictably dooming. Santa Cruz featured sporadically and scored only four times all season, before being loaned back to Blackburn (nine games, no goals), Betis (35 games, seven goals) and Malaga (the anomaly, with whom he came agonisingly close to the Champions League semi-finals).
Next: Where did it all go wrong?

Why visit Agra?
Located in the North region of Uttar Pradesh, Agra is home of the sacred landmark; the Taj Mahal. Situated around 200km south of New Delhi, Agra attracts millions of tourists each year. Most of them flock in coaches on a one day trip, mainly to visit the Taj Mahal.
Going to Agra from New Delhi
If you are in New Delhi, going on a one day trip is fairly easy thanks to the Gatimaan Express, India's fastest train. Daily departures (excluding Fridays) leave from Hazrat Nizamuddin train station to Agra Cantonment train station at 08.10am. It is a direct train and it takes less than 2 hours. To go back to Delhi, the return train is at 05.50pm. This is the fastest option and the most suitable for those who want to visit Agra in a day. For 755INR one way, you will get a seat in an air-conditioned cabin with food included.
Apart from the above train, there are other frequent daily trains between New Delhi and Agra. These options are much cheaper but take a slightly longer time to arrive (around 2.40hrs). For those on a budget and with no time restrictions this might be a good option. We paid only 100INR one way for a second class (no ac) seat. There are also daily buses leaving from Delhi to Agra and back.
Alternatively, one can book a package with an agency and the ticket normally includes: pickup from hotel and drop off at Hazrat Nizamuddin train station, return train tickets, entrance to the Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri and Agra Fort, lunch and shopping. Ticket prices varies according to season and agent. Always check latest reviews prior booking to avoid scams and disappointments.
What to visit?
Taj Mahal
The main reason people from all over the world come to Agra is to see the majestic, historic and sacred landmark of the Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal, which means 'Crown of the Palace', was built between 1632 and 1653 by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife Mumtaz Mahal. Both are now buried inside the mausoleum.
In 1983, the Taj Mahal was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. In 2014 alone, around 14 million people visited.
Opening hours are from dusk till dawn (06.00hrs – 19.00hrs), and it is closed on Fridays. Foreign tourist ticket cost 1,000INR. It is not allowed to carry any sort of tripods, food, cigarettes, lighters, and video is permitted only at certain areas. Visit as early as possible if you want to avoid the huge crowds and for better photo opportunities. We were there at 6 am and by the time we were leaving at 8 am, bus loads of visitors were arriving.
Agra Fort
The second most visited landmark is Agra Fort. It was the Emperor's residency during the reign of the Mughal dynasty. Situated 2.5km away from the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort is also a World Heritage site. The Fort is still in use today by the Indian Military. In fact, only 30% of it is open for tourists.
Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah
The third most visited landmark is the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah, also known as 'Baby Taj Mahal' or 'Jewel Box' and is often regarded as a draft of the Tāj Mahal. The tomb was built between 1622 and 1628.
Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah opens from 07.00hrs till 18.00hrs. Entrance fee is 210INR.
Please bear in mind that these are religious and sacred landmarks so dress appropriate and treat the sites with respect.
When to visit?
The ideal period to visit Agra is from October to March. Temperatures will not be hot and it will be pleasant to walk around the bazaars and the historic landmarks. However, this is the main touristic season, so except large crowds. If you are visiting between December and January, take warm clothes as temperature can get as low as 5 degrees.
The monsoon period is from August to October. If you do not mind rain and puddles, then this might be the perfect timing.
Between April and June, temperatures tend to rise with May and June being the hottest months of the year. Crowds may not be as large but temperature can shoot up to 45 degrees Celsius. From experience, we suggest that you avoid visiting during these scorching hot months.
Where to stay?
Most people visit as a day trip but if you do decide to stay longer, accommodation to suit all budgets is available. We stayed at Moustache Hostel and can highly recommend it. Dorms start from 200INR. It is a clean hostel, friendly staff, rooftop restaurant with Taj Mahal view, warm showers and comfortable beds.
There are couple more backpackers hostels around the area including; CrashPad, Bedweiser Hostel and 3 Musketeers Hostel.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Fonz's Restaurant Restaurant Review: Mike Dodd, Olympic silver medalist in beach volleyball at the 1996 Olympics, founded the restaurant in 1997 and named it for his father. Dodd's volleyball memorabilia permeates a place that reflects the laid-back casualness of the beach, but also offers a touch of elegance through cozy booths, tablecloths and upscale accents. Partner Dan Boehle has owned Fonz's since 2005, and he maintains a steak- and seafood-heavy menu. Seafood-centric starters range from caramelized sea scallops with fried leeks to seared ahi with Asian slaw, while entrées include grilled halibut with shaved almonds and Israeli couscous, as well as gingered mahi mahi. There's also an 18-ounce Kansas City steak with jalapeño mac 'n' cheese, a braised pork chop, and the "silver fox" risotto with spinach, shrimp and mixed mushrooms. Among desserts, you'll find a brownie pie and apple pie. The primarily Californian wine list features a mix of large and boutique producers.

BREAKING NEWS EVERYONE. On the heels of our earlier video featuring Parks & Rec's Nick Offerman performing slam poetry about bacon, we have a devastating announcement: An industry group is claiming that a worldwide bacon shortage next year is "now unavoidable," reports the LA Times.

As tempting as it is to blame the Internet and all those damn bacon-flavored products, it seems that the weather is the cause of this one -- drought conditions over the summer affected the corn and soybean crops, which led to less pork feed, which led to declining livestock herds, which will lead to a bacon and pork shortage, according to Britain's National Pig Association.
To quote our hero Ron Swanson once again... "I hate everything."

Be Prepared for Frozen Pipes
It may seem like we are all ready for winter to be over, but the truth is there are a few more weeks before spring arrives to warm us, and melt the ice and snow. And with as unpredictable as the temperature can be, even with weather capturing technology, preparing your home's pipework for another possible pipe-freezing cold front is not a bad idea.
Frozen pipes do not mean coinciding frozen water too. Thus, when a frozen pipe bursts, and water sprays in all directions as a result, you are in for an indoor, winter waterfall experience that can be quite an issue for your wallet and home or office. So taking the appropriate preventative measures, such as with the steps listed below, on your home's pipework is imperative for reducing the stress of potential water damage.
Wrap Exposed Pipes with Insulation
Pipe insulation can be purchased inexpensively at your local home improvement store. Just like insulating yourself with layers of clothing while in cold temperatures, wrapping exposed pipes with insulation helps to keep pipes warm, and you clear of frozen pipes.
Get Warm Air Flowing
Open up the doors to pipes under sinks and elsewhere within your space when you have the heat turned on. Getting warm air to flow around exposed pipes will warm them, and prevent frozen pipes.
Ajar Outside Faucets
Sinks which are against walls next to the outside (rather than a wall with an inside room on either side) should be turned on to a low trickle to get water moving without fully turning it on, of course. Since moving water takes longer to freeze, it will help against a potentially freezable pipe. Also, by opening the faucets on already frozen pipes you can help to relieve pressure as the pipes thaw so that it is less likely to rupture.
As with going to the grocery store to stock your kitchen's pantry in lieu of a bad snow storm, preparing the rest of your home for winter weather by following the above steps is equally as important. Yet, if a cold front comes before you can prepare, and water damage does occur, FireWater Response can take care of such problems with their water damage restoration services.
FireWater Response will effectively and affordably repair you r home with their water damage restoration services after pipe-bursting water floods and damages your home. The water damage restoration services from FireWater Response will extract water and clean up after it quickly and professionally. With a 24hour rapid response hotline, decades of experience, and immediate services like water damage restoration, there is no need to worry with FireWater Response when disaster strikes.

We came to a point where the system is crumbling.
Cisco systems did a research among its employees, and found out that those, who work from home, are much happier than those who have supervision in the form of a boss above them. So obviously sovereignty is a big factor for happiness. The only problem is, that the system dates back to the days when the need for sovereignty wasn't present with the individual.
What has changed? The human evolution got to a point where it is merging with the technological one. Let's be real, we couldn't be any prettier (or uglier, nature doesn't care). The mind is the only thing left to evolve, since there is no more need for physical evolving.
This is enabled by the informational revolution.
We have the Internet, so in essence, we gained access to an enormous amount of uncensored information. Many people are starting to take in that information independently of social influences, forming their own opinion about it, according to their own sense. When the opinion of the majority about a given subject is similar/the same, we speak of Common Sense.
The individual is starting to be aware of self and the amount of people who share his opinion. The things that the elite is blabbering on the TV all of sudden isn't Common Sense anymore.
So why work jobs in an outdated system that does not support sovereignty of the individual, when things can be done otherwise?
The thing is that today's thirty-something year olds are a generation that grew up in a television fantasy world, and we would all like to be superheroes. As delusional as we are, we meet with the very stressful reality that we are not what we would like to be. A lot of us escape into drugs, some go clinically crazy, some even work nicely within the system with real jobs and real children… but they cannot handle love. Everything is going to hell. People won't get attached anymore. People are drifting apart. The family, as such, is nonexistent. Well, it exists, but its half-life is about 5 years. Now we have chosen families: a circle of friends we trust the most. Parents have become the thing that we avoid on our way to the computer. They cannot understand why we cannot work jobs. They will not understand.
Some of us avoid the system as much as we can. We work from home, we translate, play internet poker, design websites… and we live much more in the moment, because we cannot worry about the future anyway. Apartments are too expensive, blablabla, this whole subject has been chewed over extensively.
Up until now, the world was unaware of itself, because approx. 6 bio people walked around lost within their minds.
Now we have a chance of connecting with other people, and it is only a matter of time, before we become aware of the fact that we have to work as one, if we want to save our asses from the consequences of sins of our forefathers. The human is evolving very quickly now, and the system will burst, if we don't change it. First we must realise that the biggest human fuckup is abdicating our self-responsibility. We put responsibility for our happiness onto each other: our parents, partners, children, hair stylists, shop employees and politicians. It's always someone else's fault if we're not happy. How perverse the human mind is.
When we become aware of our own responsibility for our happiness, we will be able to change things. When we become aware of the fact that we do not have to react to every single useless thought that comes up in our delusional minds, we will become aware of our surroundings, and our influences on them.
Until then we will merrily trade with CO2 emissions and vaccines.
But we must, above all, become aware of the fact that it is downright absurd to want our overfed asses to be happy in a world, where people, who are exactly the same as us, are dying from hunger in painful cramps. In a world that is at its global technological peak.
Shame on us.
