You Ought to Know About: Weather Station
Understanding the environment & the atmospheric processes is very important. It is also very important to know how an urban development will be affected by climate change. Weather Stations do this job in a sustainable city.
What is a weather station?
A weather station is a facility, either on land or sea, with instruments and equipment for measuring atmospheric conditions to provide information for weather forecasts and to study the weather and climate.
How do you measure the weather?
There are various instruments for the same:
- RAIN GAUGE – measures the amount of rain that has fallen over a specific time period.
- WIND VANE – an instrument that determines the direction from which the wind is blowing.
- ANEMOMETER – measures wind speed.
The Information & Communication Technology at Wave City will keep you updated with the slightest change in temperature or air quality. It will be a smart way to stay a step ahead of the unpredictable weather conditions.
- Residents will be aware of dangerous wind chill and heat index levels in advance.
- Due to measurement of visibility chances of accidents will be less.
- The storm warning alarms will notify you when dangerous storms are approaching.
- Detailed weather conditions may be viewed.
- Measures the various weather parameters.

It is important to invest in your look as a woman and to achieve this, you need a helpful guide to your shopping journey. So as the temperatures warm up from the atmosphere to the runways, there are many inspiring hot trends to look out for.
For the women with long, sensual legs and they don't mind showing them off, some shorts will always do in the summer. This summer fashion designers have predicted that printed shorts will be on the rise. Such shorts are likely to draw all the eyes to your legs but certainly, give you a good look. These shorts can be won with a relaxed or solid blouse. So if you love being on the right side of fashion and you are not shy of your legs, this is something you should try out.
Fashion is said to be repeating itself which makes it very interesting to watch out the upcoming trends. Peekaboo laces and dresses have also made a comeback this summer. These dresses will truly bring out the fiery look in you, and they are just perfect for this weather. And with some heels and a unique short necklace, you will definitely make some heads turn.
Leather dresses at this site have also emerged as one of the top trends for this summer. Designers have come up with creative designs of leather fabrics which are more common in the cold weather. So if you love leather outfits, don't shy away from them this summer. With some light colors and some nice high-heels, you will be making a fashion statement wherever you go.
Cropped tops have also made their way to the top trends for the summer. You can choose to show as little or as much skin as you want and you will be able to pull off an Elizabeth Banks look with a cropped top. These tops go well with an A-line skirt if you like. Besides the cropped tops, we have already seen sophisticated bikini-coat combos which are just perfect when you are going to the beach. Check out this website at http://www.ehow.com/fashion/mens-fashion/mens-clothing/ for more details about fashion.
Another popular trend for this summer is the backless dress. This dress gives you that elegant look and can be perfect for an evening wear. That said, all these trends may be here to stay but only time will tell. One thing that is for sure though is that, your imagination can help you have as much fun as possible as possible with different outfits. So don't hold back and have fun with these amazing trends before the summer is over, click here to get started!

This past week (maybe 2) I've been utterly obsessed with 3D printer stuff. It has gotten me excited about 3D drafting and CAD all over again. Simply because you can create a 3 dimensional object on a computer in a matter of minutes or hours and render it to look completely realistic, but now because of 3d printers you can actually make those objects (if you so wished)! Awesome!
Yesterday and Today I've been playing around with Solidworks again. My ancient 2007 version of solidworks. lol. But it works non-the-less. Although i'd love to try out Autodesk 123d Design (which is free). But, why oh why are there still no good CAD programs that run nativity on Linux. Especially if you have a Mac version. If it runs on Mac it can easily be ported to Linux. Why do you think the Arduinos and the rep-raps, and open-source, and so many other great things have taken over the world by storm? Yes it's because they are great products, but also because they are cross-platform! Okay, End-Of-Rant.
But Seriously, i actually really like designing something in CAD if it's something i'm excited about. Today i ventured into the realm of something relatively simple, test tube racks. But sadly there are not currently very good designs for test tube racks available. Which actually surprised me. The three best places I look for pre-made CAD files are at 3dContentCentral, which is the oldest site of this kind that i ever encountered. It is mostly for people who use solidworks, but the great thing about the site is that it has a tool that can convert to and from many different CAD formats, including solidworks formats, IGES, STEP, STL, etc. The second is GrabCad. GrabCad is a new community also aimed at engineers sharing CAD models freely. It dosen't have the nice file converter that 3dContentCentral has, but it has a vibrant community that provides feedback, help, and will check out your designs. Someone on GrabCad actually helped render the nice looking wood rendering of my 1950s style test tube rack. How nice! Thank You! And the third is the famous MakerBot Thingiverse. Thingiverse is less focused on CAD formats and instead is focused on creative designs optimized for 3D printing. At minimum an STL file will be available for anyone to download and print on any 3d printer they have access to. I currently dont own my own 3d printer, but am currently using the Lulzbot mini that currently resides at my local library. How's that for public access?!!
So these are the three test tube racks i modeled today in Solidworks. Not super amazing i suppose, but i'm proud of them. My favorite is the nice wooden 1950s style test tube rack. I partly chose to start with that one because i have one that looks just like that looks like it was made by a monkey in china. It seriously is not as nice as my virtual one and not anywhere near as fancy looking either. But also because it is the standard test tube rack featured in the banned 1960s DIY chemistry book: The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments. It was just begging to be brought into the modern world.
I then ventured into modeling a simple test tube rack because there were none available that i liked. I may make a smaller version of this one for 3d printers that have small print beds. Perhaps one with only 4 test tubes.
The last one i modeled after a nice round plastic test tube rack I've seen on the internet. I don't have one, but I've been meaning to buy one. But i wanted to model one in Solidworks and create one that fit on a Lulzbot mini 6″ X 6″ print area that other people could print out too. So i made one of appropriate size and then made it able to split in two to be printed easily. I really like how the design came out. I hope to be able to test it out by printing my own sometime.

I read the following excerpt of an article on humor from the 2003 Harvard Business Review that I find interesting.
"Female executives in this research consistently used more humor than their male counterparts, but men used more put-down humor. Women were more likely than men to use complimentary humor or humor that otherwise expressed caring, warmth, and support; they used significantly less humor that put down subordinates and marginally less that put down superiors.
Researchers have shown that in interpersonal relations, men tend to assert rather than downplay status differences, while women do the opposite.
Although people of both sexes use humor largely to build bridges, some organizational psychologists believe that for men, put-down humor may also be a way to establish and maintain hierarchical status.

On Monday, October 18, I was very honored to participate in a roundtable at the University of Houston on "New Directions in the Study of the Civil War Era," sponsored by the Center for Public History and the Department of History at UH and organized by Eric Walther. The other members of the panel were John Barr (a newly minted UH history Ph.D who has written a great dissertation about anti-Lincoln sentiment in American history), Vernon Burton, Gerald Horne, James Oakes, and Frank Wetta.
Each presenter only had about 5-7 minutes to make some comments before the floor was opened for questions and discussion. And that discussion generated a lot of interesting points that I'm still thinking about and processing a week and a half later. But for now, I thought I would belatedly share my very brief prepared comments.
This afternoon I want to share some reflections, necessarily brief and over-general, on how the history of the Civil War Era is being enriched by new attempts to place the history of the United States within larger transnational and even global histories.
The idea of internationalizing the history of the Civil War is not, in itself, new. Historians have been interested in the diplomatic history of the war from the beginning (think of Henry Adams chronicling his post in London during the war). And historians of slavery and emancipation have also long adopted international comparative methods. Building on such precedents, however, the most recent crop of "transnational," "transatlantic" or "global" histories of the Civil War era has focused not just on the comparison of different societies and nations, but on the connectedness of the United States to the larger world in the mid-nineteenth century. It's exciting work to read and think about. By broadening our perspective on the American Civil War era, historians are revealing the mid-nineteenth century as an era of unprecedented mobility by migrants; an era of constant circulation of goods, ideas, and capital across permeable national borders; and an era in which the consolidation of modern nation-states occurred not just despite, but partly because of, transnational processes like industrialization.
One way of summing up these points is to say that the "Atlantic World" did not abruptly end in 1800; my own primary research on transatlantic abolitionism in the Civil War era provides constant reminders that postcolonial Americans still lived and moved in an "Atlantic World" in which the "mother country" remained the dominant power.
Another way of summing up what recent historians have tried to show is to look forwards instead of backwards, and to see the Civil War era not just as a moment of continuity with an older "Atlantic World" of early modern empires, but as a moment of continuity with emerging forms of imperial and economic integration on a global scale–you can consider the Civil War era, as world historians like C. A. Bayly and Jurgen Osterhammel have, as a harbinger of "globalization."
I want to be brief, which means I'm being highly selective, but I think a few examples can show some of the payoffs that can come from taking these transnational and global perspectives on the Civil War era.
First, transnational histories of the era offer new insights into the causes and consequences of the Civil War. I'm thinking here of Edward Rugemer's award-winning book (subtitled "the Caribbean roots of the American Civil War") on the impact of British West Indian emancipation on the slavery debates in the United States. I'm thinking of Brian Schoen's fascinating new book on how the world cotton market shaped secessionists' thinking about their chances outside the Union, and of Rachel Hope Cleves's book on how rhetoric about the French Revolution in some sense contributed to the escalation and violence of antebellum rhetoric in the United States. And there's Matthew Clavin's book, published this year, about how the memory of the Haitian Revolution influenced decisions in the United States both before and during the war.
All four books suggest that causal explanations of the War have to go beyond the standard recital of domestic events that heralded the "impending crisis." And there are also new works, though they seem to be fewer at present, suggesting that a full accounting of the war's consequences will also take us far beyond the borders of the nation. I'm thinking here especially of Sven Beckert's exciting work on the impact of the war on the global cotton market and the attendant development of new forms of colonialism in India and elsewhere.
Second, transnational histories of the Civil War era also offer us new contexts for interpreting the era and its actors. Suggestive works by historians like Thomas Bender and the prolific coauthors Michael Geyer and Charles Bright indicate that the American Civil War is best understood, in global terms, as a moment in a long, halting history of global nation-building, even though from a narrower perspective it looks like an exceptional moment of nation-unraveling. Likewise, work by Schoen, Beckert, and others further demonstrates that Southern slaveholders were not premodern agrarians defending a civilization going with the wind; they were savvy, modern, even empire-building capitalists who often defended, for self-interested reasons, liberal "free trade," and they were attuned to the currents of a new, industrializing global economy in which specialized regional economies enjoyed some comparative advantages.
And of course there are many other examples of the ways that transnational histories of the Civil War era revise or help confirm older interpretations. But I'll close with one last point that has increasingly shaped my own book manuscript.
I think it is important to remember that by the time of the American Civil War the fate of "democracy," both in national and global terms, was still decidedly unsettled. No nation with meaningful representative institutions had a larger electorate than the United States by mid-century. And even the American electorate was limited in all sorts of undemocratic ways (as Robert Wiebe puts it, "before the 1860s, slavery was no more an anomaly in the land of democracy than democracy was an anomaly in the land of slavery").** But by 1855 economic barriers to voting that were still pervasive in other representative governments (which were themselves still rare, even after the abortive 1848 democratic revolutions in Europe) had mostly disappeared in the United States, at least for white men.
That unusual feature of course contributed to Americans' national pride in "popular sovereignty," which played a large role in the escalation of sectional crisis in the 1850s. But it also marked the American republic for many outside observers, from Alexis de Tocqueville on, as a laboratory for studying the effects of majority rule. If, as Seymour Drescher has put it, British West Indian emancipation came to be regarded in the 1840s and 1850s as a "mighty experiment" in the idea of free labor, American democracy after 1820 also was often regarded, inside and outside the nation, as a "mighty experiment," an experiment that very well might fail (for better or worse depending on whom you asked at the time).
For a broad and diverse group of contemporary thinkers, the Civil War therefore initially registered as a failure, of sorts, for the democratic principle writ large; it seemed to prove that when push came to shove in a country with comparatively open representative institutions, when a powerful minority disliked the outcome of a majoritarian election, Constitutional disintegration and violence ensued. And thanks to extensive communication and print culture networks that spanned the Atlantic, key actors in the American Civil War were aware that they were being watched and discussed, and many of them also viewed the secession crisis as a referendum on democracy whose implications would affect the future of democracy elsewhere.
Certainly this was on the mind of Abraham Lincoln, and Chandra Manning suggests it was on the minds of his soldiers, too. In his first speech to Congress after the secession crisis, on July 4, 1861, Lincoln noted with understatement that "our popular government has often been called an experiment." At stake was the ability of the Union to prove to the world that a republican form of government could be maintained. The same idea, of course, surfaced in many of Lincoln's other famous speeches, including the Gettysburg Address, all of which suggests that Lincoln sincerely worried about whether "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" (a phrase used in different versions by many democratic reformers in the mid-century Atlantic World) would "perish from the earth."
A more transnational perspective on the American Civil War era also reveals for us, in retrospect, that such a possibility (of popular government either perishing or making a significant retreat) was not unimaginable in the aftermath of post-1848 counterrevolutions in Europe, continued aristocratic resistance to parliamentary reform in England, and the hostility to republicanism that still prevailed in most of the world at that moment. Looking at the Civil War from the perspective of the whole "earth," as Lincoln suggested we should, thus may allow us to see with fresh eyes the significance of Lincoln's victory and the subsequent constitutional prohibitions on using race or previous condition of servitude as determinants of voting rights. Those events, as Leslie Butler has shown in her new book on postwar transatlantic liberalism, made the Civil War seem to many contemporaries like a watershed moment in the history of democracy worldwide, even while others viewed the carnage as a mark against popular government. The identification of the Union cause with the success of the democratic experiment also came with costs and ironic consequences, of course. And viewed in the long term of the long nineteenth century, it was the enfranchisement of black male voters in the American South during Reconstruction, and not their later disfranchisement at the turn of the twentieth century, that represented the exception to the general rule. Nonetheless, perhaps we should consider what we would see if we rediscovered the American Civil War Era as many of its contemporaries knew it: an era in which, globally and at the level of nation-states, majority rule was still the minority opinion. It's not an entirely new direction for Civil War historians, but one still worth pursuing.

Okemo Valley TV began as "LPCTV" began in 2001 as a Public, Educational, Government ("PEG") Access television organization. That name from the first letters of the 3 Towns that the orgnaization was originall desginated to serve with PEG Access Television -Ludlow, Plymouth, and Cavendish. Since that time, the organization has grown and involved, both in terms of our mission and our reach. From its humble beginnings in the former home economics room in the Ludlow Elementary School building, we have grown into a vibrant community media organization, running 2 24/7 cable TV channels, this website (which is chalk full of local video)
During 2015 - 2016, the Board of Directors engaged in strategic planning. What resulted was a new 5-year strategic plan, adopted at the annual meeting in June 2016. You can view and read the strategic plan here.
Part of that startegic plan emphasized the need to strengthen the name and identity of the organization. That led to a decision to change our name to Okemo Valley TV, which we feel is more identifiable and more representative of the region we serve.
Our Mission Statement
To provide the Okemo Valley region with equal access to multi-media technology for the purposes of education and information.
Our Vision
We strive to be the primary source to provide the Okemo Valley region with quality media and communication services.

Girl Guides layout
I was asked to help out my daughter's Girl Guide troop, last Monday, so they could make birthday cards. These cards are to donate to Meals on Wheels to give out to their patrons. I thought that before I started making cards with them, I could talk about my love of scrapbooking. To show them an example of projects I like to do, I quickly made a Girl Guide layout for a picture of my daughter at her enrollment ceremony. I tried to capture some aspects of Girl Guides with paper.
I included the Girl Guide Law in my journaling and I took inspiration from their uniform for the colours and design. The stamps are made by The Stamp Barn.
Making the cards was a lot of fun. The girls really enjoyed the dry embossing. Many of them now would like to purchase a Cuttlebug! I think at the end of the night, they had made 40 cards. I know these cards will brighten the day of 40 people!

This pie is the beginning of the end. My grandmother used to say that you could taste when pies were made with love. This is not a pie made with love; this is a pie made with meticulous precision, a pie made with sharp knives and salty tears, and quick, deliberate movements. This is a pie that shows you you, as in a mirror, or the river.
This is a pie to make to keep you from killing yourself.
This is the pie that will save your life.
Ophelia Pie
Serves between 0-4 people, depending.
1 hr. prep (but not all of it work), 45 mins. bake time.
|For the filling
Chicken, roasted, whole. Mine came from the rotisserie place, at the supermarket.
White onions, 4
Garlic, half a bulb.
Leeks, 2
Rosemary (that's for remembrance)
Fennel (that's £1 for two at the market. Use both.)
Roux, instead of rue: you will need a little more flour, and butter.
Sherry, or white wine.
Chicken stock.
Dried ginger; dried fennel; a dried chilli.
|For the pastry
Lard (9 oz)
Butter (7 oz)
Sifted flour (1lb)
Iced water
|Four small flan cases, or one loaf tin (I have done this in those silver take-away containers; it was fine.)
Rolling pin. Empty wine bottle. They are the same.
Frying pan.
Spatula/fish slice/deft hands.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Slice the chicken meat from the bones, and set aside the carcass for stock; note how the knife goes through the meat. Concentrate, hard, on cutting the meat into small and equal pieces. Equal pieces don't matter for the pie, but it will keep you calm.
Dice the onions, and mince the garlic. Wash and chop the leeks, into little half-moons. Slice thinly the fennel, noting the patterns in the bulb. This pie is all about noticing, and concentrating. Look how beautiful the fennel bulb is. Look how neat it is. Look how alive you are.
Run your hands under iced water (the cold tap, run cold). Here you can pretend that you are far away, and that the water is the water of a river in a place where there are no demands on you, and you can be safe. You can pretend that, but you don't have to.
Chop the butter, and the lard, into little dice. The uneven-ness of their measurements is called the wrinkle; my grandmother taught me that. My grandmother taught me to make pies, and the cautionary ghosts of Aunt Soggy and Aunt Sponge watched over us. Aunt Soggy and Aunt Sponge were my grandmother's great aunts; they were not great bakers.
Rub the flour into the fats, letting it sift, and fall. Feel everything. Note everything. You are not alone. You are not alone. Aunt Soggy, Aunt Sponge and your grandmother are standing over your shoulder. Follow the recipe; you are not alone. Pastry cannot be fudged, or hurried. You are doing the same as them, then; you are not alone. It is impossible to be alone while you bake. The kitchen is crowded with ghosts. You are not the only person to feel this way. You are not alone.
Bind the pastry together, rolling into a fist-sized lump. Add iced water, if it won't bind, but only a little bit. Handle it lightly. Wrap in cling-film, and chill.
Spread flour across the table. Ignore the way that flour grains on wood make you cringe, the way other people cringe at nails on a blackboard, or balloons squeaking. This is how we make pastry. You are not alone. Roll out the pastry to the base and sides of your loaf tin, the thickness of a tenpenny piece; save some for the top. There should be a little overhang, to pinch it closed, later.
Oil your loaf tin, or your tins. Lift the pastry, carefully, carefully, into the tin. You may want a spatula, some extra hands, or a Tall Man. It will be difficult whatever you do; it will almost certainly tear. Keep breathing. Pinch together the broken parts. It won't be perfect, but it will be okay.
Then, roll out the last piece of pastry to fit the top of the loaf tin; if you have the flan tins, you can use them as a template, or a stencil for the lid. There will be offcuts; that's okay, too. Shape the offcuts into little holly leaves; my grandmother told me that holly leaves show that it's a meat pie. This might be true, it might not, but I do it, anyway. Or hearts. I do hearts, sometimes.
Fry together the onions and the garlic, over a medium heat, with plenty of olive oil. Let them soften, add the leeks, and the fennel. Add pepper, and rosemary. Add a heaped spoon of grainy mustard. Add the chicken. Let them brown a little. Taste. Taste. Add a shake of the ginger, a shake of the dried fennel, a crush of the chilli. Pour over a splash of sherry; and a good glug of chicken stock. Cook it down. Don't let it burn, but cook it down. Melt butter and flour together for the roux; add that, watch it thicken. Watch it thicken; watch it settle, steadily. Let it thicken. You know the consistency pie filling should be, don't you? It should look like that. Turn the heat off.
Spoon the chicken filling into the pie case, and fold the excess pastry round over it. Lie the lid across it. Pinch the edges closed, the way my grandmother showed me, pressing your thumb down, leaving no gaps. Pierce the top, with a fork. Press the holly leaves (or hearts) around the little air-holes.
Beat the egg. Brush the whole with the beaten egg; this will, of course, be easier with a pastry brush, if you have one. I don't, and I sort of smother the pie in egg with drippy fingers. It works. It's okay. It will be okay, I promise.
Put the pie in the oven. Wash your hands, thoroughly, running the soap over your thumbs and your thumbs into your palms, the way they do in the posters in school bathrooms, scrubbing and scrubbing, until every single trace of the flour and the egg is gone. Look at your pink hands. Remember that you are alive. Sit down. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Don't cry. Don't cry. Find a blanket.
Set the chicken timer for twenty-five minutes, if the little pies, or forty-five, if the loaf-pie. Sit. Sleep. Don't cry. Wait. Can you be bothered to get off the sofa? Yes, you can. You can get up. You can. Walk to the oven, and look at the pie. Is it golden? Is it crisp? Take the pie from the oven. Look at it a while. Look at it. Wonder if you can eat it. Wonder what to do now. See that you have made it. See that you have made it. Sit on the sofa. Look at the beautiful thing you have made. Look at the golden thing you have made. Try not to cry.

How do I open Event Viewer with Custom Views> Adminstrative Events?
Hi :),
I open Windows Event Viewer often (most days) to take a look for entries in the Windows 10 created Filter
Custom Views> ServerRoles> Administrative Events. (especially as my Win 10Pro (x64) is newly installed)What I wish to seek advice on is, how can I adjust my Desktop shortcut %windir%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s so that when I click on it Window Event Viewer will always open with Custom Views> ServerRoles> Administrative Events expanded (which I believe is a Windows filter). I did manage to work out how to open with "Windows Logs> Applications" but I am not able to use the same method with Administrative Events.
My clean install of Win 10 Pro (x64) Windows Event Viewer always opens with Event Viewer (Local) and I have to drill down the tree each time to view "Administrative Events"
I have searched the Web (without success) and also viewed eventvwr /? via cmd.exe but it is beyond my understanding in relation to what I wish to achieve.
I am hoping somebody can kindly advise me on what I need in my shortcut.
Many thanks

I wish the weather now is as nice as the photo above. The nonstop rain makes me too lazy to get up and even go out to buy lunch.
- I'm currently watching Masterchef Junior on the new flatscreen TV 'given' to me by my landlord. I complained last time how my TV has not been working and he generously changed it to a new, sleeker one. Dang these junior chefs are amazing… using blowtorch and making smores cupcakes, chocolate ganache tart, steak crostinis… And how can they be so much more mature than those competing in the Masterchef adult edition?
- More than 40 days of not shopping has left me with a very strong urge to go to Zara. And go to Zara I did. I picked two pairs of chinos because most of my slacks have become baggy— result of too much spinning from the washer, and a dress just because it's spring! But I need to justify my purchases by saying that they are all for daily office wear hehe.
- Last week was one of the longest weeks of my life. I still do not know how it was possible for us to organize a Triduum without our church's "main people," but we did it. Thank You Lord! Also, a group of Malaysians who attended the Triduum learned about the Holy Week Service through my blog heehee *blush*. I was shy to tell them I was that blogger but I was too happy to learn somebody benefitted from the English Mass post!
- BFF time with Monnette. Thank you, Coldplay for having your concert here! Hay I missed having my closest friends to talk to.
- Our living-dining room renovation is almost complete! The re-tiling is done, as well as re-painting. The tv cabinet and dining set have all been delivered and assembled. My interior-designer friend said it looks like a Rockwell condo (haha Binondo version nga lang!). I will be home next month to decorate the wall shelves and our mini work area. Still searching for my dream couch, but I had our narra sala set re-upholstered while saving up for a new one.

States › Assam › Dima Hasao › Thuruk Village
Thuruk is a small village in the Tehsil or block of Haflong in the district of Dima Hasao of Assam. The town of Haflong is 41 km away from the village of Thuruk, which has about 43 houses. This is perhaps the only place in the state which experiences snowfall in the winter. The place is surrounded by hills, and there are a few trekking trails, which makes it favoured by the trekkers. If you are looking for a relaxing trip far from the stressful and mechanical life of the town, then Thuruk Village could be a perfect place for you to spend your holiday.
This is a place well known by the Trekkers, because of its location. A number of adventure sports enthusiasts go to this place and enjoy the trekking trails. Apart from that, the village is also well known to the tourists for the generosity and the warm nature of its villagers.
In order to visit Thuruk, you can take a hired car from Haflong town which is 41 km away from Thuruk. The new Haflong station is the closest railway station but the Silchar Railway Station is not too far away either and from both stations you get private buses and cars to reach Thuruk.
In the winter, this area gets very cold and it can snow sometimes. However, the best time to visit this place is during autumn and spring, as the weather of the time is most conducive to travel.
For the trekker, melting snow is also difficult, thus the early summer can also be a good time to take a trekking trip. Monsoon though makes it difficult to trek, and therefore, this season should be best avoided by the tourists intending to visit Thuruk.

April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee
With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade,
And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten,
And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.
Bin gar keine Russin, stamm' aus Litauen, echt deutsch.
And when we were children, staying at the arch-duke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.
In these opening lines of Eliot's The Waste Land we may look at the way time and space are interwoven,both within themselves as well as between individual chunks of time and space :
First let us talk of time:
April , spring,winter, summer,hour, when,night,winter
Dead land,roots,earth,Starnbergersee,colonnade,Hofgarten,the arch-duke's,down,in the mountains
Time and space fused together:
I read much of the night and go south in the winter
Shorter time fused with longer time:
I read much of the night(shorter time)
Go south in the winter (longer time)
Space fused with time:
I read much of the time( A temporal frame :much of the night)
Go south in the winter (A spatial frame : Go south )
Conjunction between short term activity and long term activity, without an apparent logical connection:
I read much of the time and go south in the winter
The linkage between the first and the second is neither one of chronology nor of cause-and -effect.
A similar linkage will be found later in the poem about Madam Sosostris
"Madam Sosostris had a bad cold
Nevertheless is known to be the wisest woman in Europe"
(non sequitor)
Summer surprised us coming over the Starnbergersee/with a shower of rain
The music of the line is in a soft repetition of the "s" sound as if it is enacting the rain
falling on the lake Starnbergersee.
The summer is not the summer of every year but a summer that surprises with a shower of rain. Actually summer is coming over the Starnbergersee,not a harsh dry summer on the lake but a soft out-of-the season rainfall that stirs dull roots.
April is the cruellest month,linked to a spatial framework of dead land (space)
The cruelty is in the mixture of memory and desire, sparked off by the lilacs bursting from the dead land.
Spring stirs dull roots (spatial ): spring is dynamic,roots are static.Spring stirs them to motion.
Winter kept us warm, covering earth(space) in forgetful snow.Winter keeping us warm is paradoxical .But winter(time) covers our earth (space) in forgetful snow, making us forget our condition.Note the lazy roots springing to motion in April but now the dried tubers are fed a little life by winter's snow.
And when we were children (longer time frame)
staying at the arch-duke's (medium time frame)
he took me out on a sled (narrative- short time frame)
and I was frightened (narrative-recall of feeling)
he said,Mary, Mary,hold on tight (Direct speech-narrative)
and down we went (onomatopoeic ,speech with gesture)
In the mountains there you feel free (universalization of personal experience)
I read much of the night/ Juxtaposing the present with the past
go south in the winter .
The other interesting things are the music of the words and a fine lyricism achieved by clever use of syntax:
In the mountains ( universal for the mountains in general )
there you feel free (particularizing the location :there)
I read much of the night and go south in the winter :The verbs "read" and "go" are balanced to convey that they are sequential activities, which they are not.
The music of words : Mary, Mary, hold on tight /And down we went.

European Journal of Developmental Psychology
Volume 10, Issue 2, 2013
This study investigated the application and justification of three principles of harm in a cross-sectional sample of adolescents in order to test recent theories concerning the source of intuitive moral judgements. Participants were 46 early (M age = 14.8 years) and 40 late adolescents (M age = 17.8 years). Participants rated the permissibility of various ethical dilemmas, and provided justifications for their judgements. Results indicated participants aligned their judgements with the three principles of harm, but had difficulty explaining their reasoning. Furthermore, although age groups were consistent in the application of the principles of harm, age differences emerged in their justifications. These differences were partly explained by differences in language ability. Additionally, participants who used emotional language in their justifications demonstrated a characteristically deontological pattern of moral judgement on certain dilemmas. We conclude adolescents in this age range apply the principles of harm but that the ability to explain their judgements is still developing.

Born in 1795 in Mecklenburg County, N.C., at the age of 10 James Knox Polk traveled westward with his family. Crossing the Appalachian Mountains, the Polks settled on the Tennessee frontier. There young James learned of hard work, rural resourcefulness and local democracy.
Following two and a half years of formal schooling, Polk returned to his home state to attend the University of North Carolina. A growing interest in law and government underpinned his studies in mathematics and the classics. Graduating with honors and moving back to Tennessee, Polk studied law while clerking with the state Senate.
Establishing a law practice in Columbia, a 27-year-old Polk won a seat in the Tennessee legislature. Marriage to Sarah Childress followed.
The well-connected daughter of a prominent Murfreesboro merchant and planter, Sarah helped further Polk's growing political ambitions. In 1825 at 29 years of age, Polk won election to the U.S. Congress as a Jacksonian Democrat.
For 14 years Polk served in the House, including two terms as Speaker. Acquiring a plantation in Tennessee, Polk in 1839 left Congress, moved back home and successfully ran for the governorship. Serving as chief executive of Tennessee from 1839-1841, he lost re-election in two subsequent attempts.
Harboring greater ambitions despite political setbacks, Polk remained active in and devoted to Democratic politics. Delegates to the 1844 Democratic Convention rewarded his faithfulness by making him their vice-presidential choice. When the convention deadlocked on a presidential nominee, delegates turned to Polk as a compromise "dark horse" candidate.
Campaigning on promises of westward expansion, Polk appealed to Americans seeking new opportunities beyond increasingly crowded eastern cities. Overcoming critics who feared that an aggressive western push would upend relations with Great Britain in the North or Mexico in the Southwest, the slaveholding cotton planter in 1844 became the 11th man elected to the presidency.
Polk's ascendency to the presidency kept the nation's highest office safely in the hands of southerners, pleasing planters of the South while further inflaming a rapidly-growing northern abolitionist movement.
President Polk pushed through a tariff act and a federal treasury act designed to tamp down on wild financial speculation, both favored by southern planters. His westward expansion policy led to Texas statehood, the annexation of California and New Mexico, and victory in the Mexican-American War.
Subsequently, southern planters clamored for the expansion of slavery into the new southwestern territories. Meanwhile, Iowa and Wisconsin gained admittance into the union.
Polk's pro-slavery position, however, proved less robust than that desired by Deep South slave owners. Arguing for the continuation of the 1820 Missouri Compromise slave line to the Pacific Ocean, thereby confining slavery to the South, Polk evoked the wrath of planters.
National tensions during Polk's presidency led elite Baptist planters of the South, condemning abolitionists as evil, to split from northern Baptists and establish the slave-based Southern Baptist Convention. The creation of the SBC presaged the coming of the American Civil War.
The son of a deistic father and Presbyterian mother, James Polk remained religiously ambivalent in a period of religious revivals that birthed and matured the abolitionist movement in the North, even as white southern Christianity consolidated around the biblical support of African slavery.
Experiencing a Methodist camp meeting during his congressional years gave Polk "predilections" for Methodism, yet he rarely if ever attended church.
Evidencing deistic influences, Polk as president voiced strong convictions for freedom of conscience. In his inaugural address of March 4, 1845 he declared:
It [the U.S. Government] is a common protector of each and all the States; of every man who lives upon our soil, whether of native or foreign birth; of every religious sect, in their worship of the Almighty according to the dictates of their own conscience; of every shade of opinion, and the most free inquiry; of every art, trade, and occupation consistent with the laws of the States.
In the address Polk also noted: "One great object of the Constitution was to restrain majorities from oppressing minorities or encroaching upon their just rights. Minorities have a right to appeal to the Constitution as a shield against such oppression."
Later in his presidency Polk expressed appreciation that "under our Constitution there was no connection between church and state," noting that "in my action as President of the United States I recognized no distinction of creeds in my appointments office."
Amid outrage over Mormon discrimination and crimes against citizens of western Illinois and under pressure from a senator to constrain the sect, Polk called the Mormon faith "absurd" but refused to take federal action. "If I could interfere with the Mormons," he noted, "I could with the Baptists, or any other religious sect; and by the constitution any citizen had a right to adopt his own religious faith."
Rarely mentioning the divine in public utterances or private writings during his presidency, on few occasions Polk referenced the "Supreme Ruler of the Universe," "benignant providence" or "God." Upon his wife's urgings, however, Polk periodically attended a Presbyterian church in the District of Columbia. Otherwise, it appears that religion seldom entered his thoughts.
A biographer summarized Polk's singular focus by noting that other than politics, the president "had no aspirations, intellectual interests, recreation, or even friendships." As Polk himself noted in his presidential diary on April 1, 1846, "My time has been wholly occupied in my office, in the discharge of my public duties. My confinement to my office has been constant and unceasing and my labours very great."
Polk's workaholic proclivity impacted his health. Weary and worn, in 1848 he chose not to seek re-election. Three months after leaving office and upon his deathbed, Polk summoned the Methodist revivalist John B. McFerrin, who had enthralled him years earlier.
Polk requested and McFerrin administered baptism into the Methodist church. James K. Polk died of cholera on June 15, 1849 at the relatively young age of 53. Among his last words were, "I love you, Sarah. For all eternity, I love you."
After Polk's death McFerrin claimed to have overheard a conversation where the former president after his baptism expressed faith in "Jesus Christ" as "Lord and Savior." The uncorroborated story is in the vein of earlier apocryphal efforts by Christian ministers seeking to reshape presidential narratives from deist or secular to religious.
Although having pleased neither northern abolitionists nor southern planters during his presidency, Polk's legacy in time came to be viewed in light of his successes in enlarging U.S. borders to the West coast. In the latter 20th century James K. Polk came to be viewed as the most influential president between Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln, often ranked among the top 10 to 12 presidents of all time.

Galesburg is getting a boost to its manufacturing base. That's as Gates Corporation plans to add dozens of new jobs while restoring a production line.
Gates Corporation plans to add 78 hydraulic manufacturing jobs to its Galesburg plant. That's big news at the facility, which first opened in 1962.
"It's great news," said Joe Severns, president of the United Steelworkers of America Local 685 and a worker at the plant for 14 years. "I've been on both sides, the bottom end and the top end. This is a lot better news."
For the first time in a decade, the company will resume making rubber hoses for a variety of industrial clients.
"It's nothing short of amazing what can happen when all players are at the table," said Il. Rep. Don Moffitt, (R-Gilson).
On the flip side, Gates is shuttering a plant in Charleston, Missouri, to make way for the Galesburg jobs.
Company and community leaders announced the plans on Monday after getting union approval. They credit state incentives, collaboration and a regional approach to keep the plant operating in Galesburg.
"We clearly understand we have our challenges, but we also share opportunities," said Galesburg Mayor Sal Garza.
The Gates plant knows all too well about downsizing in recent years. This expansion represents an investment in Galesburg and the future.
Back in its heyday, some 900 people worked at the Galesburg plant. These days, the workforce is just one-tenth of that figure. The new jobs will nearly double its current staffing, and there's plenty of room to grow.
Gates Corporation wants to have the new jobs in place by the end of August. The Illinois Department of Employment Security office in Galesburg is taking applications.
"It's about a four month hiring timeframe to get everybody in place," said Facility Manager Doug Krause. "You just don't hire 80 people and start them tomorrow."
Galesburg's plant beat out competition from Gates locations in the U.S. and Mexico. It's a testament to the teamwork and skilled workforce that more jobs are coming to the plant.
"A lot of them drive an hour each way to get jobs," Severns concluded. "Some of them might be looking to come back to this area to work."
It could be a chance to cut the commute time with a chance at Gates Corporation in Galesburg.

The Great Conjunction is at hand in this dramatic second volume of Archaia and The Jim Henson Company's prequel graphic novels that tell the origin of the Dark Crystal. Aughra, the beloved guardian of Thra, has gone into hiding, while her son, Raunip, leads a team of emissaries to the Crystal Castle. There they will bear witness as the visiting Urskeks attempt to use the Conjunction to power their voyage home. But pain and mistrust fostered by the group leads to events that will corrupt the world to its very core and transform the Urskeks into two distinct races: the gentle urRu and the terrifying Skeksis.

You Will Never Have To Scrub a Toilet Again If You Make These DIY Toilet Cleaning Bombs
A lot of people agree on the fact that the bathroom should be one of the cleanest places in the house.
Read this post if you want to find the easiest way to keep the bathroom constantly clean. First thing you should do is ask every person who brushes their teeth to wash the sink afterwards.
If you live with your partner and children, or with roommates, you should ask them to take part in cleaning the bathroom. Everyone should have a separate towel and take care of them.
What is in the bathroom cleaning products?
Almost all commercial products for cleaning contain many toxic chemicals, which are especially bad if you have children.
The chlorine in the bleach can release toxic gases when it reacts with the acids. It can damage the skin or some material when it makes a contact.
Also, these products contain up to 50% hydrochloric acid. When you inhale this acid you can irritate your respiratory tract and damage the kidneys.
A lot of products have strong smells which can cause some allergic reactions, lung irritations, or headaches. So, our recommendation is to use cleaning products which are natural.
Here is the best toilet cleaner:
- ½ cup corn starch
- Water
- ½ cup citric acid
- ½ cup baking soda
- 25 drops essential oil (your choice)
- Spray bottle
- Big Ziploc baggie
- Gallon-size zip-top bag
- Molds
1. Put all the ingredients (except the essential oil) in the bag and shake well.
2. Open the bag and add few spritzes of water.
3. Seal the bag tight and knead. Do this for couple of times.
4. You may need to release the air from the bag if it puffs too much. This is a completely normal reaction from the baking soda. The mixture should look like a dough.
5. Now, you should add the essential oil and knead everything again.
6. Then, take the mixture and put it into molds and let it dry for few days.
7. After that, take the mixture out of the molds and let it dry for two more days.
You should keep these bombs in a container which will be tightly sealed before you use them. When you want to clean the toilet, you should just drop a ''bomb'' inside the toiled and it will dissolve. Take the scrubby brush and remove everything from the toilet. Then, flush the toilet, and you are done with the cleaning!
