Wild Salmon Recorded for First Time Inside Fish Farms
Posted bysscssite2017 June 17, 2019 Posted inUncategorized, Virus Hunter
ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ / Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation members board salmon farms for the first time to inspect and document the impact of salmon aquaculture in their unceded waters, an area within the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
Clayoquot Sound, June 17th, 2019 – On June 11, 2019, members from the ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ / Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, including Tribal Parks Guardians and members of the Clayoquot Sound Indigenous Salmon Alliance, boarded and inspected open net pen salmon farms in their territories for the first time. Supported by Sea Shepherd vessel Martin Sheen, Tla-o-qui-aht members deployed underwater cameras to document the state of the farmed salmon inside the pens.
Video footage revealed the presence of never before recorded juvenile wild salmon inside the open net pens. Wild herring and other wild fish species were also recorded as well as the presence of jaundiced, emaciated and deformed farmed fish.
The pens belong to Creative Salmon, a company producing farmed Chinook salmon, and are located near Warne Island within Clayoquot Sound, a UNESCO listed World Biosphere Reserve. The same farms have previously been studied by Dr. Kristi Miller, who confirmed the presence of Piscine Orthoreovirus, a virus from Norway that appears to cause the jaundice in Chinook salmon, which leads to organ failure and death.
Independent biologist Alexandra Morton, who was on board the Martin Sheen and reviewed footage from the day's activities confirmed, "seeing the jaundice Chinook in the pens means the virus PRV is being released into wild salmon habitat and this is going to be part of the reason wild Chinook salmon in the region have mysteriously collapsed. It's very concerning".
The underwater cameras also filmed sea lice on the farm fish, something the industry denied was occurring. Sea lice breeding unnaturally on farm fish infect juvenile wild salmon, and cause death. Alarmingly high levels of sea-lice have been observed during the past few months on young wild salmon near fish farms across both coasts of Vancouver Island. Internal government emails reveal the sea-lice situation is out of control.
In a last-ditch effort, Cermaq, a nearby fish farm operator owned by Mitsubishi, has lodged a request to Health Canada for permission to use Lufenuron, a flea treatment for pets, in hopes to contain the outbreak. The drug inhibits formation of exoskeletons in insects, its effects on shell fish, humans and the wider ecosystem are unknown. The chemical is so toxic that fish treated with this chemical cannot be eaten for 350 days.
Joe Martin, a Tla-o-qui-aht Master Carver and Tribal Parks Guardian stated: "This place right here right where we are sitting, all the way up the inlet used to have sockeye jumping everywhere all along the water here. Because these farms have been here for about 30 years, we don't see fish jumping here anymore, and I am here on this farm because of that."
The boardings are part of an ongoing movement which has been gathering momentum on the B.C. coast since First Nations in another region of BC occupied Marine Harvest salmon farms for 280 days in 2017/18. Last week's rally in Tofino dubbed "Salmon: Talking Circle and March for Action!" organized by Tla-o-qui-aht member Tsimka Martin, owner/operator of Tofino based T'ashii Paddle School, saw several hundred people take over the streets of Tofino in opposition to 30 years of devastation to the environment, since the installation of floating farm pens by salmon aquaculture corporations.
Sea Shepherd research vessel Martin Sheen is anchored in Tofino Harbour, conducting its fourth summer season of Operation Virus Hunter, as a platform to conduct research on the effects of salmon farms and in support of First Nations and their efforts to protect indigenous salmon.
Locky Maclean, Director of Marine Operations at Sea Shepherd stated: "Wild salmon and forage fish should be protected from the harmful effects caused by the disease, sea lice and chemicals leaching from these farms" adding "This area has been designated by UNESCO as having universal significance, the Canadian Government has a responsibility to ensure the water flowing through this Sound is clean and healthy, from the open ocean to the inlets and all the way up the rivers". Concluding, "the only long-term solution is for fish farms to be removed from the environment they are polluting".
Opposition to salmon farming has become global in recent years as people fight to protect the last wild salmon runs from extinction.

Moulton getting mentions
By CommonWealth Staff	Elections, National Politics, Presidential Election, Seth Moulton	0 Comments May 2, 2017
He didn't get mentioned until the fourteenth paragraph of a very speculative story in the New York Times about who the Democrats might run for president in 2020, but that was enough for the Boston Globe to spin out a front-page story on Tuesday suggesting US Rep. Seth Moulton may be in the hunt for the White House.
It's all way, way, way premature, but interesting nonetheless. The Times characterized the Democratic field 101 days into President Trump's tenure as split between the oldies (Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren) and the newbies (Sens. Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Amy Klobuchar, and Kamala Harris and Mayors Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles and Mitch Landrieu of New Orleans.)
And then there's Moulton. He's 39, a combat veteran, and someone who seems very comfortable in his own skin. Sure, he can dish on Trump with the best of the Democrats, but what sets him apart is his willingness to embrace even long-shot policies and strategies if he thinks they make sense. Even more impressive, he's interested in local issues. How long has it been since a member of the Massachusetts congressional delegation took any interest in a controversial local policy issue?
Consider the rail link between North and South Stations. It was an idea dying on the vine when former governors Michael Dukakis and Bill Weld rescued it from oblivion. Their intervention led Moulton to investigate, and he concluded they were right. Moulton says it makes sense to build an underground connection between the two stations rather than buy up land around South Station to build more tracks and holding pens for idle trains. Give him a few minutes (listen to our recent Codcast with him), and you'll come away intrigued.

The LFTT Library Anchorhold1 is inhabited by the LFTT Anchoress in the church of the Museum. The Anchoress may be consulted and will assist you in seeking answers to your questions about the future.
The Anchoress will be present at times to guide those consulting or the public may post their questions into the Anchorhold. Alms of food, books or other objects, that the visitor deems fair exchange, will be accepted by the Anchoress's in return for her services.
Working with the LFTT Library2 I will build an Anchorhold within the gallery using a selection of books, from the LFTT Library collection, which focus on mysticism. The public may select books from the Anchorhold walls, pose a question and using Bibliomancy (reading at random) seek an answer to a question they may have about the future.
This work is part of an ongoing investigation within my practice and follows on from prior collaborations with the LFTT Library. The focus being ritual, collective action and the use of divinatory practices as strategies around the problem of 'what is to be done?' when we don't know where to start.


Deposits of limescale not only that it looks ugly, but it can cause big problems and failures to equipment in our home.
Unfortunately, today we all face with the lack of quality water and most of us buy bottled water for drinking, but, appliances in our homes do not enjoy that privilege.
In many households in US water is hard, meaning that the washing machines, water heater, toilet tank and other appliances are often covered with layers of limescale. Although there are different cleaning products which can be use to remove this, there are also some natural ways that can successfully remove this problem and at same time save you money.
When it comes to toilet tank, in this article we present one trick, trick which will help you to clean your tank and entire toilet bowl.
All you need for this cleaning trick you probably have it allready at home-Vinegar.
Vinegar is an excellent substitute for many cleaners that are filled with harmful chemicals and plus is cheaper.
White vinegar is perfect for cleaning the bathroom. It's a great to remove bacteria also and mold and thus helps prevent erosion.
First, put your gloves on, open your toilet tank and pour 1 liter vinegar into the tank and let the vinegar sit for at least 30 minutes, time which will be enough to eat away the mineral deposits that build up over time.
After half an hour, you can flush the toilet once and then turn off the water supply to your toilet tank and flush the toilet again which will empty the tank.
Using all purpose cleaner and brush, scrub inside of the tank, turn water supply on and flush the tank again.
Like this, your toilet bowl will be clean from bacteria and your toilet tank will be clean from bacteria, mold, rust, limescale etc.
With this cheap and simple trick you will have perfectly clean toilet tank and bowl. You can use this trick few times per year.

Buhari Apologies to Abiola's Family as Daughter Says Award Is Reconciliation, Healing
by News Editor on Jun 12, 2018 | No comments
Posted under: breaking news, International News, Politics, Recent News, Society, South West
Prsident Muhammadu Buhari, Tuesday, on behalf of the Federal Government apologised to the family of MKO Abiola, over the annulment of June 12, 1993 election, presumably won by the late business mogul.
The President apologised at the Special National Honours Investiture and award presentation to heroes of June 12, 1993 poll, which was annulled by the defunct Ibrahim Babangida regime.
He said the decision to hold the event was not to open old wounds but to bury negative sides of June 12 and its ill-feelings, hatred, frustrations and agony.
He, therefore, called on all Nigerians across national divides to accept the annulment of the June 12, 1993 poll in good faith.
"I honestly invite all Nigerians across all our national divides to accept it in good faith. Our action today is to bury the negative sides of June 12, the side of ill feelings, hates, frustration and agony.
"What we are doing is celebrating and appreciating the positive sides of June 12.
"The June 12, which reinstated democracy and freedom, the June 12 that overcame our various divides and the June that produced unity and national cohesion.
"This is the June 12 we are celebrating today and we will nurture it to our next generation
"Accordingly, on behalf of the Federal Government, I tender the nation's apology to the family of late MKO Abiola who got the highest votes and to those that lost their loved ones in the course of June 12 struggle," he said.
President Buhari asked for a minute silence in honour of late MKO Abiola and those that lost their lives in the struggle for the actualisation of June 12.
Meanwhile, Hafsat Abiola-Costello, the daughter of lateAbiola, said President Buhari has brought reconciliation and healing to Nigeria by recognising her father.
Hafsat, who spoke in an emotion-laden voice during the presentation of the award to her late father, thanked the Federal Government for the conferment of the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR) on the late politician.
She said the award to her father and other Nigerians meant so much to her.
Hafsat was invited by her elder brother, Kola Abiola, to speak on behalf of the Abiola family, at the investiture of the posthumous award on their father held at the presidential villa.
"It is difficult to try to stand in the shoes of a giant of one of the greatest human beings that the world ever had. But that is the responsibility that I bear today.
"Even for Chief MKO Abiola, it was difficult to imagine how he would speak to Nigerians in his inauguration speech.
"My mum told me how he would stand in front of the mirror, preparing the speech because the results were coming in and he thought he would surely deliver the speech.
"You know he was a stammering and he would start … fellow Nigerians and he never really got pass fellow Nigerians.
"He would say a few words and then reply not like that, and he would start again," she stated
She said her father's love for Nigerians was unparalleled, leading him to die for Nigeria instead of compromising the integrity and sovereignty of the nation.
"Although he was Yoruba, he loved Hausas, Kanuris, Efiks, Igbos and all, you just needed to be a Nigerian," she said.

The legacy of Yuri Gagarin and Vostok1 honored by Opportunity Mars Rover at Vostok Crater and Gagarin Rock. Photos: Roscosmos/NASA/JPL Poster: Ken Kremer
Posted on April 19, 2011 December 24, 2015 by Ken Kremer
Yuri Gagarin From the Earth to Mars Tribute
50 Years ago, the dream of human spaceflight opened with the courageous blastoff of Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin inside the Vostok 1 spacecraft on April 12, 1961. Gagarin was the first person to orbit the Earth. Less than a month later on May 5. 1961, Astronaut Alan Shepard bravely set forth on America's first human spaceflight – Freedom 7.
Barely three weeks afterward on May 25, 1961, these momentous events of the early Space Age led directly to Project Apollo and the historic announcement by President Kennedy that the United States "would land a man on the moon" by the end of the 1960's.
In honor of Yuri Gagarin, NASA's Opportunity Mars Rover explored a small and highly eroded crater dubbed "Vostok Crater" in 2005 during its journey in the Meridian Planum region on the Martian surface. Along the edge of the crater, researchers commanded Opportunity to use the Rock Abrasion Tool (RAT), to drill into a rock dubbed "Gagarin" on Sols 401 and 402 in March 2005.

I created the poster collage above as a tribute to the first human spaceflight by Yuri Gagarin and his legacy which eventually led to the exploration of Mars by the Spirit and Opportunity rovers
Opportunity landed on Mars on Jan. 24, 2004 for a planned 90 sol mission. By the time that Opportunity arrived at Vostok Crater, she had already lasted more than 4 times longer than expected and found that water existed on ancient Mars.
Opportunity is still alive today on Sol 2571, more than 28 times beyond its design lifetime !
Opportunity used its rock abrasion tool (RAT) on a rock named "Gagarin" during Sols 401 and 402 on Mars (March 10 and 11, 2005). This false-color image shows the circular mark created where the tool exposed the interior of the rock Gagarin at a target called "Yuri." The circle is about 4.5 centimeters (1.8 inches) in diameter. Gagarin is at the edge of a highly eroded, small crater that was named "Vostok" for the spacecraft that carried Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin in the first human spaceflight, on April 12, 1961. This image combines exposures taken through three different filters by Opportunity's panoramic camera on Sol 405 (March 14, 2005). Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell Univ./ASU
Scientists are using the data gathered from "Gagarin Rock" and other locations explored by Opportunity to help elucidate the history of the past flow of liquid water on the red planet and determine whether the wet environmental conditions could ever have supported martian microbial life – past or present.
"The 50th anniversary of mankind's first fledgling foray into the cosmos should serve as an important reminder of the spirit of adventure and exploration that has propelled mankind throughout history," said Mars rover science team member James Rice of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md, in a statement. "We are a species of explorers; it is encoded into our very DNA."
"Half a century ago Yuri Gagarin was lofted into a totally unknown, remote and hostile environment and in doing so opened up a new limitless frontier of possibilities for mankind," Rice added. "A mere 23 days later another brave human, Alan Shepard, climbed aboard a rocket and ventured into the starry abyss. Their courage and vision continue to inspire and lead us into the unknown. Hopefully, one day in the not too distant future it will lead humanity on a voyage to Mars."
Many people, including myself, were inspired by the Space Race to become scientists and engineers and hope that continues for the next generation of students today.

Islam Times - Syrian army forces continue to push back foreign-backed militants fighting against the government in a town near the capital Damascus.
On Saturday, the army kept up its operations against the militants' positions in Harasta in the northeastern suburb of Damascus.
"We confront the militants here and advance street by street. They use mortars and snipers a lot. Soon we will eliminate them all," said an army soldier.
The presence of militants, who have looted apartments, shops, schools, and kindergartens, has forced many residents of Harasta to leave the town.
The militants have even desecrated a mosque in the town and burned copies of the Holy Quran.
More than 70 percent of the town is currently controlled by the Syrian army, whose soldiers try to stop militants from infiltrating into the secured areas after the army makes gains.
"We set cameras that show us all the streets here. We monitor armed men who try to infiltrate and cross the street. We eliminated several of them. Many of them are from the [al-Qaeda-linked] al-Nusra Front and they sometimes raise their black flags," said another army soldier.
Earlier in the day, the government troops recaptured positions in the town of Tel Hasel on the outskirts the northwestern city of Aleppo.
Syrian soldiers also managed to regain control of the towns of Hawarin and Mahin in the eastern countryside of the province of Homs.
In recent weeks, the Syrian army has made fresh advances in its fight against foreign-backed militants.
Syria has been gripped by deadly unrest since 2011. According to reports, the Western powers and their regional allies -- especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey -- are supporting the militants operating inside the country.
The UN also says more than four million other Syrians will be forced out of their homes in 2014 by the escalating conflict in the country.

Verticale et surfaces de niveau mettent en évidence les dénivellations affectant un territoire géographique lorsqu'il est représenté sur un plan.  La verticale d'un point de la surface est une ligne imaginaire traversant ce point et dirigé vers le bas, suivant la pesanteur.  Les courbes de niveau sont les tracés formés sur la surface par ses intersections avec des plans perpendiculaires à la verticale et espacés à des altitudes régulières ; chacun de ces plans est l'approximation locale d'une surface de niveau (étendue à toute la Terre).

Verticale et pesanteur

La verticale, en un lieu repéré par un point  sur la surface terrestre ou dans son voisinage, est définie par la direction de la pesanteur  en , et matérialisée par la direction d'un fil à plomb suspendu en  ou par l'axe « vertical » d'un niveau optique mise en station au point . La pesanteur s'obtient en prenant le gradient du potentiel de pesanteur , somme des potentiels gravifique  et axifuge , au point . Selon qu'on décide par convention d'orienter la verticale vers l'intérieur de la Terre ou vers l'extérieur, le vecteur unitaire fournissant l'orientation de la verticale du lieu est fourni par  ou , respectivement. Le symbole  (nabla) désigne l'opérateur gradient, qui en coordonnées cartésiennes  peut s'écrire ,  désignant un vecteur unitaire orienté positivement le long de l'axe .

Gradient du potentiel de pesanteur et dérivée dans une direction

Le gradient du champ scalaire  est un champ vectoriel, en l'occurrence le champ de pesanteur . Le potentiel de pesanteur  étant une fonction du point , le voisinage de  peut être décrit par un petit vecteur  joignant  à tout point voisin . Le taux de croissance de la fonction  sera en général différent selon la direction et le sens de , et nous pouvons écrire comme suit le taux de croissance de  dans la direction caractérisée par le vecteur unitaire  :

et définir la dérivée du potentiel de pesanteur  dans la direction du vecteur unitaire  par

.

Lorsque le vecteur unitaire  possède la direction et le sens d'un axe du trièdre de référence, soit  orienté selon le vecteur unitaire , ceci permet de définir les dérivées partielles

.

Constatons toutefois que ces dérivées partielles ne sont pas très intéressantes car elles dépendent manifestement du choix du système de référence et ne sont donc pas des quantités scalaires. Par contre, les dérivées dans une direction représentent des fonctions scalaires, le système de référence n'intervenant pas dans leur définition.

On démontre en analyse mathématique, par exemple en se basant sur la formule des accroissements finis, que

,

où , ,  sont les composantes du vecteur unitaire  ou encore, ce qui est équivalent, les cosinus directeurs de l'axe dans la direction duquel on dérive. Cette dernière formule indique que la dérivée de  dans la direction du vecteur unitaire  s'obtient en formant un produit scalaire, à savoir

.

Surface de niveau

La formule précédente a des conséquences fort intéressantes. En effet, si  désigne l'angle entre la direction du gradient du potentiel de pesanteur  (donc la direction de la verticale) et la direction , la dérivée  du potentiel de pesanteur le long de  peut s'écrire

.

Ainsi, si  est parallèle à la direction de la verticale en  (c'est-à-dire  ou ),  est maximum et vaut , et si  est perpendiculaire à la verticale en  (c'est-à-dire  ou ), . En d'autres termes, le taux de variation du potentiel de pesanteur est maximum en valeur absolue dans la direction de la verticale, et nul dans une direction contenue dans le plan perpendiculaire à la verticale en . Ce plan est donc tangent en  à la surface

qu'on appelle surface de niveau. Pour un point arbitraire, la pesanteur , autrement dit le gradient du potentiel de pesanteur , est donc normale à la surface de niveau passant par ce point. Comme le potentiel de pesanteur reste constant sur une surface de niveau, on parle aussi d'une surface équipotentielle du champ de pesanteur.

Identifying anti-alcohol drugs
New research helps identify the protein which is a likely mediator of the …
John Timmer - May 8, 2006 10:27 pm UTC
Believe it or not, a drug that has existed for decades can combat the effects of moderate alcohol intake (Google found this article on it, which dates from 1986). Discovered serendipidously, the drug (Ro15-4513) is only mildly effective, and its effects can be overcome by more alcohol. As such, Ro15-4513 was unlikely to be an effective product itself, but it was hoped that it would pave the way for more effective follow ups. As you can guess by the lack of products in the intervening 20 years, that optimism hasn't been rewarded.
A new report in PNAS, however, suggests that these hopes may yet come to fruition. The authors have identified the specific receptor that the drug binds to on nerve cells. Experiments that tested the dynamics of the competition between ethanol and Ro15-4513 indicated that the two compete for a single, mutually exclusive binding site. This knowledge should allow for a rapid assay for compounds that can displace ethanol from this site, and potentially block its effects. The authors hope that such compounds, "may yield therapeutics for problems that are related to low dose EtOH sensitivity, including anxiety, insomnia, and alcoholism." They hope this so much that their conflict of interest statement indicates they've already filed preliminary patents related to this work.
John Timmer John became Ars Technica's science editor in 2007 after spending 15 years doing biology research at places like Berkeley and Cornell.

Roseville Solar Electric (RSE) was founded by Kevin Hahner in the year 2000. As a former employee of Kyocera Solar Inc's Sacramento Division, Kevin led the installation of solar PV projects ranging from large ground mounted and carport systems to several hundred residential systems.
In 2003 RSE formed a powerful team with the addition of former Kyocera Solar and SMUD Solar PV Designer, Lee Ulrich. This RSE team is responsible for the exacting design and reliable installation of over 2 megawatts of PV solar. RSE is certified by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners and a member of the California Solar Industries Association.
Please enjoy the examples of innovative PV design and quality installations below.
Capital Area East End Complex Solar Project generates over 186 kW DC, offsetting the power used by government offices. Above the offices, a rooftop equipment screen (shown) using 3,372 EPV40 modules is complimented by a 1,280 module parking garage structure . RSE provided design and installation expertise along with pre-wired and pre-panelized modules. Commissioned in February 2003.
Rancho Seco 5 Solar PV Project, completed August of 2000, provides power to SMUD customers. 22,680 EPV40 modules generate over 907 kW DC at this 7 acre SMUD owned site. The unique terraced design of this structure uses pipe columns planted in concrete, supporting cold formed steel beams with angle bracing. Forty-five 22 kW inverters are installed throughout the array with 480 volt power being collected at three 400 amp load centers.
Solar PV installation at California Environmental Protection Agency, Sacramento, CA. Completed in August of 1999, this array of 912 EPV40 modules provides the EPA building with over 36 kW DC. This structure uses pedestals welded to the building framing to provide support for angle columns and cold formed steel beams. PV wiring is routed to a Xantrex PV30208 inverter located in an electrical room on the floor below.
Over 100 kW of Residential roof mount and ground mount tracking solar PV systems have been installed by RSE in surrounding communities leaving many satisfied customers to enjoy the benefits of producing their own power. Photo (right) is the first U.S. photovoltaic system installation using the SMA inverter, which has become a staple of the industry.
Kevin Hahner graduated from California State University, Sacramento with a BSME in 2000. While working through college, Kevin gained invaluable experience in the roofing and electrical trades. Kevin received his C-10 Electrical Contractor's License in 2000 shortly after joining Kyocera Solar Inc.
As a Project Engineer for Kyocera, Kevin lead the installation of solar electric projects such as half a megawatt of single axis tracking PV modules for the California Expo parking lot, nearly a megawatt of ground mounted thin-film modules at SMUD's Rancho Seco facility, thirty kilowatts of PV installed on the ninth floor roof of the California Environmental Protection Agency, and hundreds of residential rooftop installations including the very first US installation of the SMA inverter.
During the energy crisis of 2001, Kevin left Kyocera's employ to become Sacramento area's first Kyocera dealer: ROSEVILLE SOLAR ELECTRIC. Doing business as RSE, Kevin has installed over 100 kilowatts of residential Kyocera PV systems and provided the essential expertise to make the installation of nearly 200 kilowatts at the Capitol East End Complex a phenomenal success.
Lee Ulrich graduated from California State University, Chico with a BSME in 1996 using his automotive mechanic skills and an internship at Applied Materials to finance his degree.
After graduating, Lee worked for OEA Aerospace Inc, (now Goodrich Aerospace) until joining Kyocera Solar Inc in 1999, followed by becoming a Project Manager at SMUD Solar in 2001. As a Project Engineer & Manager, Lee has completed courses in Project Management and has been able to hone these Project Management skills on multi-million dollar aerospace and solar electric projects.
His aerospace accomplishments include developing and qualifying explosively activated components for Boeing's Delta Launch Vehicles, Northrop's B-2 Bomber, and Lockheed's developmental X-33 shuttle.
Accomplishments in the solar industry include designing and managing projects for Kyocera and SMUD including Cal Expo's tracking PV system, SMUD's Rancho Seco 5 installation, Capitol East End Complex solar project, Cal EPA's roof mounted solar system, and the installation of numerous church and residential PV solar electric systems in the greater Sacramento area. Lee also led SMUD's project to develop a PV solar Performance Index to monitor solar electric generation and compare that generation to a weather corrected prediction. Lee joined Kevin at ROSEVILLE SOLAR ELECTRIC in 2003 to once again form a team devoted to accomplishments.

If you are looking for Best Mt Everest Base Camp Trek Package 2019 with lowest prices then your search ends here. Aahvan Adventure is a leading Adventure Travel Operator in India located in Ahmedabad.
One of the most famous destinations in the world, Everest has alluded us as kids when we learnt about it in Geography class and as adults.
While people trek here in all seasons, the ideal period to come here is from March to mid-May or September to mid-November. During winters, the weather is extremely cold and the snow can pose a challenge. Also, lodges at higher altitudes might be closed due to the weather because of which it is important that you carry along camping equipment like tents and extra warm clothes for the freezing nights! In summers, it is a little wet and the snowy peaks are hidden behind clouds. Hence, April and May are proved to be the best times to trek here. The blossoming of trees and shrubs only adds colour to the pristine white beauty of this place. A post-monsoon trek provides cleaner dust-free views than pre-monsoon treks.
Before trekking in this area, it is compulsory to visit the 'Trekker's Information Management System' (TIMS). Some areas, like the Khumbu region, only accept Nepalese currency.
This trek requires preparation and some of the key things you should be carrying are: Hiking boots, warm clothes, jackets, UV sunblock, soft and light shows (a.k.a Kung-fu shoes), water disinfecting drugs (found in Kathmandu) with which you can treat the water you fill in your water bottles from nearby streams, lakes, and rivers.
Arrival at Kathmandu, on the Tribhuvan International Airport. Check in to a hotel and then after relaxing for a bit go for a hike around the city to explore.
Early morning, we will fly from Kathmandu to Lukla from where we will trek to Phakdng. The trekking trail is gradual with slight ups and downs. Next, we will cross a suspense bridge which provides a panaromic view of the Kusum-Kangru. This will be followed by a short climb after which we will reach Ghat village from where the Phakdng village is another one and a half hour.
We will start our trek today after crossing the Dudh-koshi suspension bridge and you will be going uphill and downhill. We will be re-crossing this bridge soon. In the meantime, we come across another suspension bridge, this time over the Bhote-Koshi river. Next, you will finally reach the small river of Monjo and after a 20-minute climb where we will find some interesting water mills. Your trekking permits will be checked here – the officials here will keep a record of all the trekkers going ahead. After a gradual walk, you will reach Namche Bazaar.
This day is for acclimatizing ourselves to the high altitude and climate. Namche Bazaar provides amazing views of the Kwangde peak and it is also a good place to shop. You can also take a short walk to the headquarters of the Sangmatha national park. There is a local museum which has details of the history of Himalayas – the geography, mountaineering history, flora, fauna and cultural aspects. Overnight stay in guest houses.
A 20-minute easy walk will take you to the top of Namche Bazaar. From here, we continue walking for 2 more hours till we reach Shanasa – where you will spot the colourful Danphe pheasant, the national bird of Nepa, musk deer, and the Himalayan Thar. Next, we will gradually descent to the Imjatse River at Phungitenga (3250 meters). An hour long strenuous walk will follow after which we will reach a Buddhist entrance, just before Tengboche. Overnight stay in guesthouses.
PAfter breakfast, we will set out on a forest path with trees like birch, juniper, fir, rhododendron, etc, towards Dingboche. On our way we will come across a place, Deboche which, at an altitude of 3,650 meters will give us a sweeping view of Mt. AmaDblam, Mt. Everest, Nuptse, and Lhotse. The trail ahead is uphill until we reach a large mani-wall gate from where there are two paths that take us to Dingboche. One of them goes through Pangboche and we can choose this to soak in more natural beauty. Our destination, Dingboche is a lovely and quiet place surrounded by stone walls which protect the agricultural fields from cold winds and grazing animals. Overnight stay in guesthouses.
Today we will spend our day in Dingboche – a place which is full of greenery due to all the farms and crops like barley, buckwheat, and potatoes. Our main aim is to acclimatize ourselves to the weather and the altitude. One can take short walks around the village, have some great tea at the cute tea houses, or even do a 3-4 trek to a Chukung, a place within the Imjatse valley at 4,730 meters. Though the trek is easy-going, you will begin to feel the thin air around you. There are some tea-houses with a spectacular view at Chukung too. From here, we will return to Dingboche and stay in our guesthouses overnight.
We will mark the start of our day by trekking towards the north. The first 40-50 minutes will be an easy walk and we will reach a mani-prayer stupa by then. Next, we will go slightly down towards the village of Pheriche. On our way, Mt. Tawache, Ama Dablam, Nuptse and Pokalde, which are approximately 5,741 meters towards the north will be our constant companions. The next 2 hours will be of pleasant walking, till we reach a small wooden bridge over the river of Khumbu glacier, which will take us to Thugla, the only place to have tea houses before our destination, Lobuche. After relaxing a little here, we will commence a strenuous 3 hour trek to Lobuche. Overnight stay in guest houses.
After almost a week of trekking, we are finally close to our destination. Today will be the most adventurous day of the trek and will certainly give you best travel experience, ever. We will start with a gradual 1 hour walk up to the valley and a grassy field. Another 20 minutes of walking will take us to rocky moraine dunes. As we go on, we will spot the icy-glacial ponds and icebergs lying below the Khumbu glacier. We will soon reach Gorakshep. The next part of the trek which will take us to the Everest Base Camp is a strenuous climb – everyone must follow the lead Sherpa as the trails towards the EBC keep changing every season due to the glaciers. After 7 hours of trekking, you will reach your destination and some of the best sights you will ever witness in your life await you here. A grand view of the Khumbu ice fall is one of the only magnificent views you will experience. After soaking in the unearthly beauty of this place, we will head back down to Gorakshep. Overnight stay in guesthouses.
Gorakshep is a wonderful place to explore – it used to be the base camp for trekking the Everest in the 1950s and also has a couple of tea houses. Sipping tea at that altitude in the Himalayas is something you will do probably do only once in your life. Today, we also plan to head up to Kalapathar. The trek from Gorakshep to Kalapather will begin with a few minutes of easy walking on the sandy fields which will soon turn into a 45-minute steep climb. After the tiring trek and strenuous mountaineering, you will welcome the comfort of walking on level fields for the next hour, with open arms. Post this, there is a steep trek again which will take us to the top of Kalapathar. As you get to the top, a surprise awaits you – the view of the Mt. Everest is closer than you can ever imagine and you will be mesmerized by its beauty. We will then head back to Pheriche.
Carrying all your memories from the past few days in your mind and the difficult trekking experience, the walk all the way down to Thugla is an easy hike. Once we reach the ridge, we will follow a stream which flows towards the Pheriche valley. A 40-minute walk will take you to the valley floor from where we will take an easy 1-hour walk to reach Pheriche, at 4,243 meters. After this, we will trek down the slope to Namche Bazaar. Overnight stay in guesthouses.
DAY 12 : Namche Bazaar to Phakding and Lukla / Altitude: 2,800m/9,184ft Walking Distance: 16km (6-7 hours).
After a good rest in the night, we will roam around the Namche Bazaar, explore local arts, crafts, and handicrafts and the local food. One can also buy a lot of things from here to always have something which reminds you of this amazing place. We can also take a small walk in and around the Sagarmatha National Park – an ideal place for clicking pictures. Then, we will trek from Namche Bazaar to Phakding, an easy downhill walk dotted with the beauty of forests, distant mountains, many waterfalls, etc. Next, we trek towards the Hillary suspension bridge and then pass through many local villages, to finally reach Lukla. This is your last chance to be at a tea-house and is the night you party with your trekking group – for reaching a place most others only dream of!
We will wake up early in the morning and catch up an early flight to Kathmandu as the winds can be too strong for flights during daytime. The take off from Lukla will give you a magical view of the surroundings and 45 minutes later, you will arrive in Kathmandu. Try to grab a window seat!

Video game maker Capcom is 30 years old. To celebrate their 30th anniversary, the company is looking back to its roots.
As a 30th anniversary celebration, Capcom is releasing the Capcom Arcade Cabinet Retro Game Collection: A collection of Capcom games from the 8-bit era. Capcom producer Kenji Kataoka spoke with Japanese game magazine Weekly Famitsu about the upcoming game collection, also releasing a vague silhouette image (see above) of the games that will be included.
According to Kataoka, the collection will include games from the very early days of Capcom. All of the them will be playable in their original form; even the original bugs will be included to allow players to experience all aspects of the games. Optional features will also be included to alter the difficulty (as some games were brutally unforgiving) and allow casual players to enjoy them without having to throw their controllers across the room, as many of us did back in the day.
The game collection will be available for download on the PlayStation Network Store and Xbox Live Marketplace (no news on the Wii or Wii U). One of the games, Black Dragon (Or Black Tiger as it was known in the west) will be made available as a free to play demo. No details have been released on how many other games will be included. Kataoka stated that they have not decided whether to make the games in the collection available as a bundle, or individually.
Further details on the Arcade Cabinet will be announced on February 7th. As of now, the only game in the collection that has been officially announced is the above-mentioned Black Dragon, but long-time fans of Capcom may be able to recognize some of the others from the silhouette image above. I've managed to spot a couple I recognize. How about you?

Q: A norm $\|\cdot\|$ on $\mathbb R^N$ such that $\|x\|^2$ is $C^2$ near $x=0$ is induced by an inner product. Let $\|\cdot\|$ be a norm on $\mathbb R^N$ and define $f: \mathbb R^N\to\mathbb R$ by $f(x)=\|x\|^2$. Suppose that $f$ is $C^2$ near $x=0$. Prove that there is an inner product $(\cdot,\cdot)$ on $\mathbb R^N$ such that $\|x\|^2=(x,x)$ for all $x\in \mathbb R^N$.
Here is my attempt. I guess that the inner product is given by a positive-definite matrix. Therefore, I define $a_{ij}=\frac12\frac{\partial^2f}{\partial x_i\partial x_j}(0)$ for all $1\leq i,j\leq N$ and let $A=(a_{ij})$. Since $f$ has a minimum at $x=0$ and is $C^2$ near $x=0$, I deduced that the matrix $A$ is positive-definite. It suffices to show that $f(x)=x^TAx$ for all $x\in \mathbb R^N$; if so, then $(x,y):= x^TAy$ gives the desired inner product.
But I don't know how to prove $f(x)=x^TAx$.
Any hints are welcome!

A: A trick that I have gradually learned is to fully use that $f\in C^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with Taylor's Theorem with remainder. In particular, that
$$f(x) = f(0) + \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{\partial f(0)}{\partial x_i}(x_i-0)  +\sum_{i,j=1}^n(x_i-0)(x_j-0)\int_0^1(1-t)\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x_i\partial x_j}(tx)dt$$
Now since $||\cdot||$ is a norm, then $f(0) = ||0||^2 = 0$. We also have that if $e_i$ are the standard basis, then
$$
    \frac{\partial f(0)}{\partial x_i} = \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{||he_i||^2 - ||0||^2}{h} = \lim_{h\to 0} \frac{h^2}{h} = \lim_{h\to 0} h = 0
$$
Hence we can now write that
$$
   f(x) = \sum_{i,j=1}^n x_i x_j\int_0^1(1-t)\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x_i\partial x_j}(tx)dt
$$
If we set $A(x)$ to be the matrix with components $a_{ij}(x) = \int_0^1(1-t)\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x_i\partial x_j}(tx)dt$. Then it follows that we can write $f(x) = x^T A(x)x$ where $A(x)$ is a symmetric matrix for all $x$. Since $||\cdot||$ is a norm, then for all $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$ we will have that $f(\alpha x) = ||\alpha x||^2 = \alpha^2||x|| = \alpha^2 f(x)$. Thus
$$
 \alpha^2 f(x) = f(\alpha x) = (\alpha x)^T A(\alpha x)(\alpha x) = \alpha^2(x^T A(\alpha x)x)
$$
If we take $\alpha_n = \frac{1}{2^n}$, then the expression above can be simplified to yield $f(x) = x^T A(\frac{x}{2^n})x$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N}$. Since $f\in C^2$, then $x\to A(x)$ will be a continuous operation and so if we take the limit as $n\to +\infty$ we get that $f(x) = x^T A(0)x$. Well $a_{ij}(0) = \int_0^1(1-t)\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x_i\partial x_j}(0)dt = \int_0^1 (1-t)dt\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x_i\partial x_j}(0) = \frac{1}{2}\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x_i\partial x_j}(0)$ which is what you initially had. To see that $A(0)$ is symmetric positive definite, just use that $0\geq ||x||^2 = x^TA(0)x$ since $||\cdot||$ is assumed to be a norm.

A: There is no need to use Taylor with special remainders. By the condition, we have $$f(x)= f(0) + Jx + \frac{1}{2}x^t H x + o(|x|^2)$$ where $J, H$ are the Jacobian and Hessian of $f(x)$ around $0$ separately, and $|x|$ stands for the usual Euclidean norm of $x$.
Fix $x$, for small $h$, we have from the above $$f(hx) = f(0) + (Jx) h + (\frac{1}{2}x^t H x) h^2 + o(h^2)$$
Meanwhile $$f(hx) = h^2 f(x) = 0 + 0 + f(x)h^2 + o(h^2)$$
Since the 2nd order Taylor approximation of $f(hx)$ around $0$ must be unique, we must have $f(x) = \frac{1}{2}x^tHx$.
This holds for any $x$, hence $f(x)$ is induced by the inner product $(x, y):=x^t (\frac{1}{2}H)y$.

Iran: 115 executions since elections
07 Aug 2009, 12:00am
'Alarming spike' in numbers represents 'significant increase', says Amnesty
The eight weeks between the presidential election on 12 June and the inauguration of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for a second term as president on 5 August saw an alarming spike in the number of executions by the Iranian authorities, Amnesty International said today.
Amnesty International Secretary General Irene Khan said:
"In just over 50 days, we recorded no less that 115 executions - an average of more than two each day
"This represents a significant increase, even compared to the appallingly high rate of executions that has been so long a feature of the human rights scene in Iran.
"In recent weeks world attention has understandably been focused on the Tehran authorities' brutal attempts to suppress the mass and largely peaceful protests that followed the widely-disputed official outcome of the presidential vote. Yet, as these grotesque figures show, there has been no let up in other longstanding patterns of human rights abuse - in fact, the reverse.
"This is a dreadful situation, and one that is made worse by the fact that all or most of those executed are likely to have been denied fair trials, in gross breach of international law."
From the start of 2009 up to 12 June, Amnesty International recorded at least 196 executions in Iran, placing the country second in the world behind China for the number of executions carried out. The 115 executions known to have been carried out since the presidential election on 12 June included 14 executions on 2 July, 20 on 4 July, 13 on 14 July and a further 24 executions on 5 August, the day of the presidential inauguration.
Amnesty is also stressing that the true total number of executions in Iran is almost certainly higher even than the number it has been able to record, which is based on official Iranian, media and other sources. Most of those executed are said to have been convicted of drug-smuggling or related offences. Those executed by hanging are believed to have been men, mostly between 20 and 50 years of age, but include at least two Women's rights's rightss rights's rights's rights's rights. Some but not all of the victims' identities are known. In particular, the authorities have not named any of the 24 prisoners executed on 5 August at Rejai Shahr Prison in Karaj, disclosing only that they were executed for drugs-related offences.
Typically, people accused of drugs offences or other serious crimes are held for long periods in pre-trial detention, routinely ill-treated, and allowed access to a lawyer only at the point where they go on trial, if at all.
Last year Amnesty recorded at least 346 executions in Iran, the second highest number (behind China) of any country in the world. Of these at least eight were child offenders - those convicted for crimes which took place when they were aged below 18. The true overall figure is likely to have been higher, as the Iranian authorities do not issue official statistics on capital punishment.

This elaborately fashioned example of the outstanding goldsmith's craft of the Quimbaya from what is now Colombia probably depicts a high priest. The elevated status of the man portrayed is revealed by his rich jewellery.
For centuries gold has epitomized wealth in the Western world. In many indigenous cultures the relationship to gold was far more differentiated. Thus the shining material was also associated with prosperity, which was primarily reserved for a privileged layer of rulers. High priests (caciques) were responsible for both religious and administrative matters, as these aspects of a community's life were indissolubly linked.
Noble Burial Object
Amongst the Quimbaya, who produced these objects between CE 600 and 1000 in today's Colombia, gold was probably used in connection with a sun cult. High-ranking individuals also received gold objects and jewellery as burial objects. The figure in the form of a standing man is depicted holding two lime containers in his hands. A peaked hat as well as rich jewellery indicate his elevated rank. This lime container joined the collection in Berlin in 1873 and is a characteristic example of the Quimbaya's outstanding skill as goldsmiths.
Harder than Pure Gold
Many of the Quimbayan objects are made not from pure gold but from a gold-copper alloy called tumbaga. As a result of the high copper content this alloy is harder than gold and the melting point is lower. The manufacturing technique is typical for the region, employing the hollow casting technique. First a form is made out of wax which is then covered in clay. When the molten metal is poured in, the wax flows out. As a result, each one of these objects is unique.
Lime and Coca Leaves
Lime is needed when chewing roasted coca leaves in order to release the alkaloid from the leaves and generate the stimulating effect. Coca leaves are chewed, amongst other things, to ward off feelings of hunger, cold or tiredness. Furthermore, they are also effective against altitude sickness and therefore widespread in the Andes. In today's indigenous societies in Colombia lime containers are still used for chewing coca leaves, but they are now made from gourds.
Cacique in the Humboldt Forum
Hermann Heinrich Meyer, a merchant from Bremen, came from an influential family who imported tobacco and other goods into Germany. He presented the gold figure to the then Königliches Museum für Völkerkunde in 1873, the year it was founded. In future it will be exhibited on the second floor of the Humboldt Forum.
To be seen in the museums on the second floor of the Humboldt Forum.
Exhibition on Museum Island (until 29 September 2019)
Until May 2019, the first Humboldt Forum Highlights were on display in the Pergamonmuseum, Altes Museum and Neues Museum on Museum Island. The exhibtion at Pergamonmuseum and Neues Museum has been extended until the end of September 2019.

Hi, in this video we'll take a closer look at what we mean when we say cohesion.
Cohesion is really how well everything within a module fits together,
how it works towards a singular purpose.
Now this is pretty subjective, in that the context in which you consider the singular
purpose makes a big difference.
For example, imagine you're building a game as a mobile application.
Technically, everything you do is cohesive to the idea that you are building a game.
Every line of code works towards that singular goal, from advertising to
user accounts to micro-transactions to the game and the graphics themselves.
But that's a very high level categorization.
That's why we typically refer to cohesion using various levels of cohesion
to better define what we mean when we say cohesion.
So let's start with the weakest forms of cohesion.
Coincidental cohesion is effectively the idea that parts of the module are together
just because they are, they are in the same file.
If you just throw all the code into one file,
technically it's cohesive in that it resides in the exact same file location.
It's in the same class, for example, in object-oriented programming.
But this is ultimately very, very weak cohesion.
Its proximity to other code is the only relationship between it and the other.
That's not good.
Temporal cohesion means that the code is activated at the same time, but that's it.
That's really the only connection.
Being in a module because you're both called at the start
isn't a very OO way of looking at the solution.
Procedural cohesion is similarly time based and not very strong cohesion.
Just because one comes after the other doesn't really tie them together,
not necessarily.
What if the process flow changes?
Again, that's not good.
They don't necessarily need to be cohesive in that way.
Logical association then is the idea that components which
perform similar functions are grouped.
We're getting less weak, but it's still not good enough.
The idea here is that at some level the components do similar, but
separate or parallel things.
That's not a good reason to combine them in a module.
They are considered separate, though similar, for a reason.
And so we should separate them.
Okay, now we're getting somewhere.
Communicational cohesion means that all elements of the component
operate on the same input or produce the same output.
This is more than just doing a similar function.
It's producing identical types of output or working from a singular input.
And then sequential cohesion is the stronger form of procedural cohesion.
Instead of merely following the other in time, sequential cohesion is achieved
when one part of the component is the input to another part of the component.
It's a direct handoff and a cohesive identity.
Finally we get to the strongest forms of cohesion, your goal as a designer.
In object cohesion, we see that each operation in a module
is provided to allow the object attributes to be modified or inspected.
Every single operation in the module.
Each part is specifically designed for purpose within the object itself,
that's that object cohesion.
And then functional cohesion goes above and
beyond sequential cohesion to assure that every part of the component
is necessary for a well-defined function or behavior.
So it's not just input to output,
it's everything together is functionally cohesive.
I also want to make this note.
Technically speaking, inheritance weakens cohesion.
The idea is being able to have the full understanding of
a concept in a single module.
When you inherit, you by design don't have
all the concepts in a single module when you're viewing the code base.
You have to go look at the super class files as well.
That does make it harder to find detail and
goes against the principle of high cohesion.
However, that is usually a very easy tradeoff,
given the benefits available to us using inheritance.
The mantra of low coupling, high cohesion is a nice thing to say and repeat, but
the reality of measuring these things means a deeper understanding of what we
mean by cohesion is necessary.
By paying attention to different types of cohesion, you can build better systems,
better designs, and better solutions.


After having grey nail varnish on for last week, I wanted to switch things up a bit and go for a brighter shade and what better colour to go for than Mermaid's Tears by OPI. Its a lovely pastel green shade to add a touch of colour to any outfit and I feel it compliments my complexion pretty well. Its a bright shade but not too bright for the winter season which is good so it will go well with the winter colour schemes around.
I didn't have much time to let them dry so instead of going for my usual top coat to finish rings off with, I tried this Revlon liquid quick dry nail varnish I got a while back and I wasn't completely satisfied with it. Although it does help speed the drying process, It doesn't leave your nails with a 'high gloss" finish that it claims to do, so that was a bit disappointing. Looks like I will have use my usual top coat to go over things when I do get some time.
